Definitions
- the present invention relates to a container for nail polish.
- Containers for nail varnish have long been known which comprise a bottle containing the varnish and a stopper to which the brush is fixed by a rod, the latter plunging into the bottle and therefore into the varnish when the container is closed.
- bottles used most often are in the bulging shape and have a flat bottom which allows them to be placed.
- these bottles have two drawbacks. It is difficult to hold them in your hand while you polish your nails and they are difficult to transport, for example, in a handbag because they are difficult to fit and take up too much space.
- the present invention aims to provide a container for nail polish of elongated shape which allows the use of a relatively short brush.
- the present invention therefore relates to a container for nail polish comprising a bottle containing the varnish and a stopper provided with a brush connected to the stopper by a rod, the brush plunging into the bottle when the container is closed, characterized in that the bottle is elongated and divided in its length into two compartments by a valve, the brush being entirely contained in the first compartment which is closest to the stopper, said valve being open when the stopper is in the low position relative to the bottle on which it is fixed.
- the valve is preferably a ball valve consisting of a ball and an annular bulge fixed on the inner wall of the elongated bottle, providing a circular opening whose diameter is less than that of the ball.
- This valve preferably further comprises a device intended to retain the ball when the ball valve is open which is fixed to the internal wall of the ball bottle.
- This device can be constituted by an annular flange or by legs curved in the form of claws. These legs are preferably arranged regularly. There are conveniently four of them.
- the second compartment preferably contains at least one ball having the function of agitating the varnish contained in this second compartment when the varnish container is agitated.
- the outer envelope of the bottle preferably consists of two tubular parts, the first tubular part corresponding to the first compartment and fitting into the open end of the second tubular part which has a bottom and corresponds to the second compartment.
- the tubular part corresponding to the first compartment is, according to a first embodiment of the invention, made in a single molded part which comprises the annular bulge and the ball retaining device.
- the tubular part corresponding to the first compartment is composed of a tube into which a plug fits which includes the elements of the ball valve: annular bulge, ball and ball retaining device.
- the tubular part corresponding to the first compartment is preferably made of transparent plastic material in its entirety, according to the first embodiment described above. According to the second embodiment, preferably, only the tube is made of transparent plastic.
- the new container for nail polish operates as follows.
- the ball releases the central opening from the circular bulge and a fraction of the varnish contained in the second compartment passes into the first compartment.
- the ball returns to close said central opening.
- the fraction of varnish contained in the first compartment is thus trapped above the valve and can be removed with the brush to varnish the nails.
- the user again inclines the container to return a certain amount to the first compartment.
- the first compartment is therefore used for removing the varnish using the brush and the second compartment constitutes a reserve tank.
- the container for nail polish comprises a stopper 1 and a bottle 2.
- the bottle is of elongated cylindrical shape and the assembly resembles a pen.
- the stopper 1 and the bottle 2 have complementary closing elements 3 and 3 ′.
- the cover 1 and the bottle 2 have complementary threads.
- a brush 4 is fixed to the plug 1 by means of a rod.
- the bottle 2 is divided into two compartments 5 and 6 by a valve 7.
- the valve 7 is a ball valve constituted by an annular bulge 71 fixed on the internal wall of the elongated bottle 2 and by a ball 72.
- the central circular opening 73 formed by the annular bulge 71 has a diameter smaller than that of the ball 72.
- the ball valve 7 also includes a ball retaining device consisting of an annular flange 74 fixed to the internal wall of the bottle 2.
- This annular flange 74 provides an opening circular 75 which also has a diameter smaller than that of the ball 73.
- the brush 4 is entirely contained in the compartment 6. It may therefore have only a short length which is mainly determined by the location of the ball valve 7 in bottle 2.
- the length of compartments 5 and 6 is variable. They may have similar lengths, as shown in the appended figures, but also clearly different lengths.
- the compartment 5 contains beads 8. They are intended to agitate the varnish and to restore its fluidity by thixotropy.
- the bottle 2 comprises an outer casing 9 of generally cylindrical shape comprising at one end a flat bottom 91 and at the other end a narrowing 92 carrying the thread 3 ′.
- the outer casing 9 consists of two tubular parts 93 and 94 assembled by fitting together and optionally gluing, the tubular part 93 covering the part 94 over a certain length.
- the tubular part 93 defines with the bottom 91 the second compartment 5.
- the tubular part 94 defines the first compartment 6.
- the tubular part 94 is molded in one piece with the constriction 92 carrying the thread 3 ′ at one end and the annular flange 74 and the annular bulge 71 at the other end.
- This tubular part 94 is molded in transparent material, so that the annular surface 96 which is not covered by the tubular part 93 after fitting, constitutes a transparent window through which the color of the varnish can be seen.
- the tubular part 94 has a stop 95 for the cylindrical tubular part 93 defining the second compartment.
- the tubular part 94 is composed of a tube 941, preferably made of transparent plastic, and of a plug 942 which includes the ball valve 70 ⁇ 1. It can be made of a material identical to or different from that of the tube 941.
- the plug has an annular bulge 711 providing a circular opening 731 and four claw-shaped legs 741 which hold the ball 721 when the ball valve is open.
- the plug has a cylindrical part of diameter slightly smaller than the outside diameter of the tube 941 and a cylindrical part 771 of equal outside diameter of the outside diameter of the tube 941, so as to limit the insertion of the plug 942 comprising the valve 70 ⁇ 1 in the tube 941 .
- the varnish container according to the present invention operates as follows.
- the ball valve 7, 70 ⁇ 1 opens.
- the ball 72, 721 releases the opening 73, 731 and will bear against the ball retaining device 74, 741.
- the varnish contained in the second compartment 5 flows in the direction of the arrows F ( Figure 3) through the circular openings 73, 731 or between the claw-shaped legs 741.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un récipient pour vernis à ongles.The present invention relates to a container for nail polish.
On connaît depuis longtemps des récipients pour vernis à ongles qui comportent un flacon contenant le vernis et un bouchon auquel est fixé par une tige le pinceau, ce dernier plongeant dans le flacon et par conséquent dans le vernis, lorsque le récipient est fermé.Containers for nail varnish have long been known which comprise a bottle containing the varnish and a stopper to which the brush is fixed by a rod, the latter plunging into the bottle and therefore into the varnish when the container is closed.
Un tel récipient est déjà connu de fascicule de brevet FR-A-1 517 002.Such a container is already known from patent specification FR-A-1,517,002.
Les flacons utilisés le plus souvent sont de forme ventrue et ont un fond plat qui permet de les poser. Or ces flacons présentent deux inconvénients. Il est difficile de les tenir dans la main pendant que l'on se vernit les ongles et ils sont difficilement transportables, par exemple, dans un sac à main car ils se logent difficilement et tiennent trop de place.The bottles used most often are in the bulging shape and have a flat bottom which allows them to be placed. However, these bottles have two drawbacks. It is difficult to hold them in your hand while you polish your nails and they are difficult to transport, for example, in a handbag because they are difficult to fit and take up too much space.
Pour que le flacon soit plus facilement transportable et manipulable, on a pensé à lui donner une forme allongée analogue à celle d'un stylo. Mais, dans ce cas, il se pose un problème : pour pouvoir consommer le vernis jusqu'à épuisement complet, il est nécessaire que le pinceau soit relativement long. En effet dans le cas d'un flacon de forme allongée et étroite, il est difficile de jouer sur l'inclinaison du flacon pour faire plonger le pinceau dans le vernis lorsque le niveau de vernis baisse et le pinceau doit donc avoir une longueur voisine de celle du flacon. Or il est pratiquement impossible d'assurer correctement le vernissage des ongles avec un pinceau à longue tige car les écarts d'orientation imprimés par la main au bouchon se traduisent, au niveau du pinceau, en raison du grand bras de levier que constitue la longueur de la tige, par des écarts inacceptables pour le guidage du pinceau.To make the bottle easier to transport and handle, we thought of giving it an elongated shape similar to that of a pen. But, in this case, there is a problem: in order to be able to consume the varnish until complete exhaustion, the brush must be relatively long. Indeed in the case of a bottle of elongated and narrow shape, it is difficult to play on the inclination of the bottle to immerse the brush in the varnish when the level of varnish drops and the brush must therefore have a length close to that of the bottle. However it is practically impossible to ensure the correct varnishing of the nails with a brush with long rod because the deviations of orientation imprinted by the hand at the stopper are reflected, at the level of the brush, due to the large lever arm which constitutes the length of the rod, by unacceptable deviations for guiding the brush.
La présente invention a pour but de proposer un récipient pour vernis à ongles de forme allongée qui permet l'utilisation d'un pinceau relativement court.The present invention aims to provide a container for nail polish of elongated shape which allows the use of a relatively short brush.
La présente invention concerne donc un récipient pour vernis à ongles comportant un flacon contenant le vernis et un bouchon muni d'un pinceau relié au bouchon par une tige, le pinceau plongeant dans le flacon lorsque le récipient est fermé, caractérisé par le fait que le flacon est allongé et qu'il est divisé dans sa longueur en deux compartiments par un clapet, le pinceau étant entièrement contenu dans le premier compartiment qui est le plus proche du bouchon, ledit clapet étant ouvert lorsque le bouchon est en position basse par rapport au flacon sur lequel il est fixé.The present invention therefore relates to a container for nail polish comprising a bottle containing the varnish and a stopper provided with a brush connected to the stopper by a rod, the brush plunging into the bottle when the container is closed, characterized in that the bottle is elongated and divided in its length into two compartments by a valve, the brush being entirely contained in the first compartment which is closest to the stopper, said valve being open when the stopper is in the low position relative to the bottle on which it is fixed.
Le clapet est de préférence un clapet à bille constitué par une bille et un renflement annulaire fixé sur la paroi intérieure du flacon allongé, ménageant une ouverture circulaire dont la diamètre est inférieur à celui de la bille.The valve is preferably a ball valve consisting of a ball and an annular bulge fixed on the inner wall of the elongated bottle, providing a circular opening whose diameter is less than that of the ball.
Ce clapet comprend de préférence en outre un dispositif destiné à retenir la bille lorsque le clapet à bille est ouvert qui est fixé à la paroi interne du flacon à bille. Ce dispositif peut être constitué par une collerette annulaire ou par des pattes recourbées sous forme de griffes. Ces pattes sont, de préférence, disposées régulièrement. De façon convenable elles sont au nombre de quatre.This valve preferably further comprises a device intended to retain the ball when the ball valve is open which is fixed to the internal wall of the ball bottle. This device can be constituted by an annular flange or by legs curved in the form of claws. These legs are preferably arranged regularly. There are conveniently four of them.
Le deuxième compartiment contient de préférence au moins une bille ayant pour fonction d'agiter le vernis contenu dans ce deuxième compartiment lorsqu'on agite le récipient à vernis.The second compartment preferably contains at least one ball having the function of agitating the varnish contained in this second compartment when the varnish container is agitated.
L'enveloppe extérieure du flacon est constituée de préférence de deux parties tubulaires, la première partie tubulaire correspondant au premier compartiment et venant s'emboîter dans l'extrémité ouverte de la seconde partie tubulaire qui comporte un fond et correspond au second compartiment.The outer envelope of the bottle preferably consists of two tubular parts, the first tubular part corresponding to the first compartment and fitting into the open end of the second tubular part which has a bottom and corresponds to the second compartment.
La partie tubulaire correspondant au premier compartiment est, selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, réalisée d'une d'une seule pièce moulée qui comporte le renflement annulaire et le dispositif de retenue de la bille. Selon un second mode de réalisation, la partie tubulaire correspondant au premier compartiment est composée d'un tube dans lequel s'emboîte un bouchon qui comprend les éléments du clapet à bille : renflement annulaire, bille et dispositif de retenue de la bille.The tubular part corresponding to the first compartment is, according to a first embodiment of the invention, made in a single molded part which comprises the annular bulge and the ball retaining device. According to a second embodiment, the tubular part corresponding to the first compartment is composed of a tube into which a plug fits which includes the elements of the ball valve: annular bulge, ball and ball retaining device.
La partie tubulaire correspondant au premier compartiment est, de préférence, réalisé en matière plastique transparente dans sa totalité, selon le premier mode de réalisation décrit ci-dessus. Selon le second mode de réalisation, de préférence, seul le tube est en matière plastique transparente.The tubular part corresponding to the first compartment is preferably made of transparent plastic material in its entirety, according to the first embodiment described above. According to the second embodiment, preferably, only the tube is made of transparent plastic.
Le nouveau récipient pour vernis à ongles, selon l'invention, fonctionne de la façon suivante. Lorsque l'utilisateur incline le récipient fermé pour mettre le bouchon en position basse par rapport au flacon, la bille dégage l'ouverture centrale du renflement circulaire et une fraction du vernis contenu dans le deuxième compartiment passe dans le premier compartiment. Lorsqu'on redresse le récipient, la bille revient fermer ladite ouverture centrale. La fraction de vernis contenue dans le premier compartiment est ainsi piégée au-dessus du clapet et on peut la prélever avec le pinceau pour vernir les ongles. Lorsque le premier compartiment ne contient plus de vernis, l'usager incline à nouveau le récipient pour en faire revenir une certaine quantité dans le premier compartiment. Le premier compartiment sert donc pour le prélèvement du vernis à l'aide du pinceau et le second compartiment constitue un réservoir de réserve.The new container for nail polish according to the invention operates as follows. When the user tilts the closed container to put the stopper in the low position relative to the bottle, the ball releases the central opening from the circular bulge and a fraction of the varnish contained in the second compartment passes into the first compartment. When the container is straightened, the ball returns to close said central opening. The fraction of varnish contained in the first compartment is thus trapped above the valve and can be removed with the brush to varnish the nails. When the first compartment no longer contains varnish, the user again inclines the container to return a certain amount to the first compartment. The first compartment is therefore used for removing the varnish using the brush and the second compartment constitutes a reserve tank.
Pour mieux faire comprendre l'objet de l'invention, on va décrire maintenant, à titre d'exemple purement illustratif et non limitatif, un mode de réalisation représenté sur le dessin annexé. Sur ce dessin :

Le récipient pour vernis à ongles, selon l'invention, comporte un bouchon 1 et un flacon 2. Le flacon est de forme cylindrique allongée et l'ensemble ressemble à un stylo. Le bouchon 1 et le flacon 2 présentent des éléments de fermeture complémentaires 3 et 3′. Selon le mode de réalisation représenté, le couvercle 1 et le flacon 2 présentent des filetages complémentaires. Un pinceau 4 est fixé au bouchon 1 par l'intermédiaire d'une tige. Le flacon 2 est divisé en deux compartiments 5 et 6 par un clapet 7. Le clapet 7 est un clapet à bille constitué par un renflement annulaire 71 fixé sur la paroi interne du flacon allongé 2 et par une bille 72. L'ouverture centrale circulaire 73 ménagée par le renflement annulaire 71 a un diamètre inférieur à celui de la bille 72. Selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 2 et 3, le clapet à bille 7 comporte également un dispositif de retenue de la bille constitué par une collerette annulaire 74 fixée à la paroi interne du flacon 2. Cette collerette annulaire 74 ménage une ouverture circulaire 75 qui a également un diamètre inférieur à celui de la bille 73. Le pinceau 4 est entièrement contenu dans le compartiment 6. Il peut donc n'avoir qu'une faible longueur qui est principalement déterminée par l'emplacement du clapet à billes 7 dans le flacon 2. La longueur des compartiments 5 et 6 est variable. Ils peuvent avoir des longueurs voisines, comme représenté sur les figures annexées, mais également des longueurs nettement différentes. Le compartiment 5 contient des billes 8. Elles sont destinées à agiter le vernis et à lui rendre sa fluidité par thixotropie.The container for nail polish, according to the invention, comprises a stopper 1 and a
Le flacon 2 comporte une enveloppe extérieure 9 de forme généralement cylindrique comportant à une extrémité un fond plat 91 et à l'autre extrémité un rétrécissement 92 portant le filetage 3′.The
Selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures annexées, l'enveloppe extérieure 9 est constituée de deux parties tubulaires 93 et 94 assemblées par emboîtage et éventuellement collage, la partie tubulaire 93 recouvrant sur une certaine longueur la partie 94. La partie tubulaire 93 définit avec le fond 91 le second compartiment 5. La partie tubulaire 94 définit le premier compartiment 6.According to the embodiment shown in the appended figures, the
Selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 2 et 3, la partie tubulaire 94 est moulée d'une seule pièce avec le rétrécissement 92 portant le filet 3′ à une extrémité et la collerette annulaire 74 et le renflement annulaire 71 à l'autre extrémité. Cette partie tubulaire 94 est moulée en matière transparente, de sorte que la surface annulaire 96 qui n'est pas recouverte par la partie tubulaire 93 après emboîtage, constitue une fenêtre transparente par laquelle on peut voir la couleur du vernis. La partie tubulaire 94 comporte une butée 95 pour la partie tubulaire cylindrique 93 définissant le deuxième compartiment.According to the embodiment shown in Figures 2 and 3, the
Selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure 4, la partie tubulaire 94 est composée d'un tube 941, de préférence en matière plastique transparente, et d'un bouchon 942 qui comprend le clapet à bille 70̸1. Il peut être fabriqué dans une matière identique ou différente de celle du tube 941. Le bouchon comporte un renflement annulaire 711 ménageant une ouverture circulaire 731 et quatre pattes en forme de griffe 741 qui retiennent la bille 721 lorsque le clapet à bille est ouvert. Le bouchon comporte une partie cylindrique de diamètre légèrement inférieur au diamètre extérieur du tube 941 et une partie cylindrique 771 de diamètre extérieur égal du diamètre extérieur du tube 941, de façon à limiter l'enfoncement du bouchon 942 comprenant le clapet 70̸1 dans le tube 941.According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the
Le récipient pour vernis, selon la présente invention, fonctionne de la façon suivante. Lorsque l'utilisateur incline le récipient vers le bouchon 1, le clapet à bille 7, 70̸1 s'ouvre. En effet, la bille 72, 721 libère l'ouverture 73, 731 et va s'appuyer contre le dispositif de retenue de la bille 74, 741. Le vernis contenu dans le deuxième compartiment 5 s'écoule dans le sens des flèches F (figure 3) par les ouvertures circulaires 73, 731 ou entre les pattes en forme de griffe 741.The varnish container according to the present invention operates as follows. When the user tilts the container towards the cap 1, the
Lorsque l'utilisateur estime que la quantité de vernis contenue dans le premier compartiment 6 est suffisante, il incline le récipient en sens inverse et la bille 72, 721 vient reboucher l'ouverture 73, 731. Le vernis qui s'est écoulé dans le premier compartiment 6 reste piégé dans celui-ci. L'utilisateur peut alors ouvrir le récipient, préveler du vernis avec le pinceau 4 et procéder au maquillage des ongles.When the user considers that the quantity of varnish contained in the
