Description

La présente invention concerne l'industrie du conditionnement, plus particulièrement de substances fusibles, normalement semi-rigides aux températures ambiantes habituelles, telles que des rouges à lèvres et autres cosmétiques, ou produits pharmaceutiques, ou d'entretien ménager. Elle vise plus précisément le conditionnement de telles substances en petites quantités, notamment à fin d'échantillonnage, pour un usage unique.The present invention relates to the packaging industry, more particularly fusible substances, normally semi-rigid at usual ambient temperatures, such as lipsticks and other cosmetics, or pharmaceuticals, or for household cleaning. It more specifically aims at packaging such substances in small quantities, in particular at the end of sampling, for single use.

On a déjà proposé d'échantillonner des rouges à lèvres sous forme de bâtonnets dont une extrémité est enduite de pâte par trempage, à la façon des allumettes, comme décrit dans le brevet français n° 1.270.008. Mais cette présentation restreinte du rouge se prête mal à un essai dans les conditions normales du bâton commercialisé normalement, du fait qu'il n'en présente pas la surface ni la forme et ne permet pas d'en apprécier pleinement la couleur et l'aspect.It has already been proposed to sample lipsticks in the form of sticks, one end of which is coated with paste by dipping, in the manner of matches, as described in French patent No. 1,270,008. However, this limited presentation of red does not lend itself to testing under the normal conditions of the stick marketed normally, owing to the fact that it does not have the surface or the shape thereof and does not make it possible to fully appreciate its color and aspect.

On a également proposé de mouler des substances solides fluidifiées à chaud, tels que des produits contre la transpiration dans un moule en forme de bol, puis de plonger superficiellement dans la masse encore liquide une cuvette ajourée que l'on fixe, après refroidissement et solidification de la masse, à l'extrémité d'un manche qui facilitera la manipulation du bloc solide pour les applications corporelles, comme décrit dans le brevet des Etats-Unis d'Amérique n° 4,235,557, mais ce type de conditionnement nécessite la mise en oeuvre de quantités de substance trop importantes pour un échantillonnage.It has also been proposed to mold fluidized solid substances when hot, such as products against perspiration in a mold in the form of a bowl, then to immerse superficially in the still liquid mass a perforated bowl which is fixed, after cooling and solidification. mass, at the end of a handle which will facilitate the handling of the solid block for bodily applications, as described in US Pat. No. 4,235,557, but this type of packaging requires the use of quantities of substance too large for sampling.

L'invention a pour but le conditionnement de petites quantités de substances thermofusibles pour un usage unique, notamment un échantillonnage, dans un emballage simple, bon marché, facile à réaliser en grande série, ne mettant en oeuvre qu'une quantité très minime de substance, et offrant cependant l'aspect et la forme de l'extrémité du bâton de substance commercialisé normalement.The object of the invention is to package small quantities of hot-melt substances for single use, in particular sampling, in simple, inexpensive packaging, easy to produce in large series, using only a very small quantity of substance. , and yet offering the appearance and shape of the end of the stick of normally marketed substance.

L'invention a pour objet un article à usage unique pour le conditionnement individuel d'une petite quantité de substance fusible à utiliser par friction manuelle sur une surface, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend une tige tubulaire ouverte à une extrémité et terminée à l'autre extrémité par un dôme ajouré de support de la substance en couche mince sous toute sa surface, dôme dont la base présente extérieurement des moyens de support étanche d'une coiffe amovible dont la cavité interne ogivale est écartée de la surface extérieure du dôme d'une faible distance déterminant l'épaisseur de la couche de substance.The subject of the invention is a single-use article for the individual packaging of a small quantity of fusible substance to be used by manual friction on a surface, characterized in that it comprises a tubular rod open at one end and finished at the end. 'other end by an openwork dome for supporting the substance in a thin layer over its entire surface, dome whose base has externally sealed support means for a removable cap whose internal ogival cavity is spaced from the external surface of the dome 'a small distance determining the thickness of the layer of substance.

La coiffe peut être avantageusement moulée d'une seule pièce avec la tige à laquelle elle est reliée par une languette d'articulation repliable pour l'insertion de la coiffe sur la base du dôme et son dégagement ultérieur pour l'utilisation de l'article.The cap can advantageously be molded in one piece with the rod to which it is connected by a foldable articulation tongue for the insertion of the cap on the base of the dome and its subsequent release for the use of the article. .

Afin d'éviter une éventuelle altération à l'air en cours de stockage un tel article peut être complété par un opercule d'obturation de l'extrémité ouverte de la tige. Cet opercule peut être moulé d'une seule pièce avec la tige à laquelle il peut être relié par une patte d'articulation repliable ou bien il peut constituer une pièce séparée, éventuellement insérée à l'intérieur et au fond de la tige.In order to avoid possible alteration to the air during storage, such an article may be supplemented by a sealing cap for the open end of the rod. This cover can be molded in one piece with the rod to which it can be connected by a foldable hinge tab or it can constitute a separate part, possibly inserted inside and at the bottom of the rod.

L'opercule peut être constitué par un étui décoratif extérieur recouvrant la tige, associé à un chapeau décoratif complémentaire recouvrant la coiffe dont il est solidaire.The cover may be constituted by an external decorative case covering the rod, associated with a complementary decorative cap covering the cap of which it is integral.

Un article suivant l'invention peut être associé à un présentoir dont le socle offre une pluralité de supports pour autant d'articles.An article according to the invention can be associated with a display, the base of which offers a plurality of supports for as many articles.

Afin d'une présentation à l'identique du produit commercial, la cavité ogivale de la coiffe aura la même forme que l'extrémité moulée du bâton de cosmétique correspondant, notamment de rouge à lèvres.For an identical presentation of the commercial product, the ogival cavity of the cap will have the same shape as the molded end of the corresponding cosmetic stick, in particular lipstick.

Il est généralement avantageux, surtout pour le conditionnement de substances colorées, notamment de produits cosmétiques, qu'au moins la coiffe soit en un matériau transparent permettant d'en apprécier la coloration sans écartement de la coiffe.It is generally advantageous, especially for the packaging of colored substances, in particular cosmetic products, that at least the cap is made of a transparent material allowing its coloration to be appreciated without spacing the cap.

L'invention a aussi pour objet un conditionnement, notamment pour l'échantillonnage en petite quantité de substances fusibles, à utiliser par friction manuelle sur une surface, notamment de produits cosmétiques, pharmaceutiques, et d'entretien ménager, caractérisé en ce qu'il est constitué par un article suivant l'une des revendications 1 à 9 dans lequel l'espace entre la coiffe et le dôme, ainsi qu'au moins une partie de l'intérieur du dôme sont remplis de la substance conditionnée.A subject of the invention is also a packaging, in particular for sampling in small quantities of fusible substances, for use by manual friction on a surface, in particular of cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and household maintenance products, characterized in that it is constituted by an article according to one of claims 1 to 9 in which the space between the cap and the dome, as well as at least a part of the interior of the dome are filled with the conditioned substance.

L'invention a encore pour objet un procédé de fabrication du conditionnement suivant la revendication 10, caractérisé en ce que l'on fluidifie la substance à conditionner, en ce qu'on la coule dans l'article, coiffe insérée sur le dôme, jusqu'à remplissage de l'espace entre la coiffe et le dôme, ainsi que de l'intérieur du dôme, laissant le reste de la tige vide, et en ce qu'on laisse la substance se solidifier par refroidissement dans l'article.The subject of the invention is also a method of manufacturing the packaging according to claim 10, characterized in that the substance to be conditioned is thinned, in that it is poured into the article, cap inserted on the dome, up to '' filling the space between the cap and the dome, as well as the interior of the dome, leaving the rest of the rod empty, and in that allows the substance to solidify on cooling in the article.

Sur ces figures, les éléments correspondants sont désignés par les mêmes références numériques, éventuellemement affectées d'un indice. Les dimensions et les proportions respectives de ces éléments peuvent ne pas être respectées afin de rendre les dessins plus lisibles.In these figures, the corresponding elements are designated by the same reference numerals, possibly affected by an index. The respective dimensions and proportions of these elements may not be respected in order to make the drawings more legible.

L'article suivant l'invention représenté sur les figures comprend essentiellement, moulé d'une seule pièce, par exemple en polyéthylène ou polypropylène de préférence transparent, une tige tubulaire 1 ouverte à une extrémité 2, et terminée à l'autre extrémité par un dôme 3 conique, percé de quatre ouvertures latérales 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, dont la base cylindrique 4 sert d'assise étanche à l'emboîtement de la base correspondante d'une coiffe 5, reliée et articulée à la tige 1 par une languette repliable 7, moulée d'une seule pièce, comme représenté sur la figure 1, avec la tige 1 et son dôme 3. Un léger relief 8 à l'intérieur de la coiffe 5, à l'opposé de la languette 7, coopère avec un creux correspondant 9 de la base 4 du dôme 3 pour maintenir la coiffe 5 rabattue sur le dôme 3 comme représenté sur la figure 2. Un ergot radial 10 issu de la base de la coiffe 5 en facilite la préhension pour les manoeuvres de rabattement de la coiffe (figure 2) puis de son écartement ultérieur lors de l'utilisation (figure 5) comme indiqué par des flèches sur ces figures. Entre le dôme 3 et la coiffe 5 rabattue subsiste un intervalle vide 11 d'un faible écartement sensiblement constant.The article according to the invention represented in the figures essentially comprises, molded in one piece, for example made of preferably transparent polyethylene or polypropylene, a tubular rod 1 open at one end 2, and terminated at the other end by a conical dome 3, pierced with four lateral openings 6 a , 6 b , 6 c , 6 d , the cylindrical base 4 of which serves as a watertight seat for the fitting of the corresponding base of a cap 5, connected and articulated to the rod 1 by a folding tongue 7, molded in one piece, as shown in FIG. 1, with the rod 1 and its dome 3. A slight relief 8 inside the cap 5, opposite the tongue 7, cooperates with a corresponding recess 9 in the base 4 of the dome 3 to keep the cap 5 folded over the dome 3 as shown in FIG. 2. A radial lug 10 coming from the base of the cap 5 makes it easier to grip for the cap folding maneuvers (figure 2) then its subsequent spacing during use (Figure 5) as indicated by arrows in these figures. Between the dome 3 and the folded cap 5 there remains an empty gap 11 of a small, substantially constant spacing.

Après moulage de l'ensemble (figure 1) on rabat la coiffe 5 sur le dôme 3 (figure 3), puis on coule la substance à conditionner, préalablement fluidifiée par chauffage, à l'aide d'une buse 12 par l'extrémité ouverte 2 de la tige 1 jusqu'à remplissage de l'intervalle 11 entre le dôme 3 et la coiffe 5 ainsi que de l'intérieur 13 du dôme (figure 4) ce qui assure, après solidification de la substance un bon ancrage de sa couche utile 14 extérieure au dôme 3 à son culot 15 intérieur au dôme 3 à travers les ouvertures 6 du dôme. La cavité interne ogivale 16 de la coiffe 3 sert de moule pour la partie extérieure de la couche 14 de substance. Elle a, de préférence dans le cas de cosmétique, la même forme classique ogivale de révolution, ou à pan coupé, ou de dièdre, ou autre, que l'extrémité utile du bâton commercialisé de la même substance. Ainsi après écartement de la coiffe 5 (figure 5) l'utilisateur du conditionnement ainsi réalisé dispose de la même conformation de la substance pour un essai qu'avec le bâton commercial qu'il pourra acquérir.After molding the assembly (FIG. 1) the cap 5 is folded over the dome 3 (FIG. 3), then the substance to be packaged is poured, previously fluidized by heating, using a nozzle 12 at the end. open 2 of the rod 1 until filling of the gap 11 between the dome 3 and the cap 5 as well as the interior 13 of the dome (Figure 4) which ensures, after solidification of the substance a good anchoring of its useful layer 14 outside dome 3 at its base 15 inside dome 3 at through the openings 6 of the dome. The internal ogival cavity 16 of the cap 3 serves as a mold for the external part of the layer 14 of substance. It has, preferably in the case of cosmetics, the same classic ogival shape of revolution, or cutaway, or dihedral, or other, as the useful end of the marketed stick of the same substance. Thus after spacing of the cap 5 (Figure 5) the user of the packaging thus produced has the same conformation of the substance for a test as with the commercial stick that he can acquire.

Eventuellement, la languette 7 peut être rendue frangible par une zone 17 de moindre résistance qui facilite le repliement de la languette et permet de séparer la coiffe du reste de l'article pour un plus libre accès à la couche de substance 14 lors de l'utilisation.Optionally, the tongue 7 can be made frangible by a zone 17 of less resistance which facilitates the folding of the tongue and makes it possible to separate the cap from the rest of the article for more free access to the layer of substance 14 during the use.

Le conditionnement (figure 5) réalisé par coulée d'une substance (figure 4) dans un article (figures 1 à 3) peut être complété par un opercule 18 (figure 6) introduit dans l'extrémité ouverte 2 de la tige 1. Un tel opercule 18 présente avantageusement un rebord 19 de même diamètre extérieur que la tige 1. Il confère à la tige une plus grande rigidité et une meilleure apparence au conditionnement, tout en protégeant le culot 15 de substance d'une altération éventuelle par l'atmosphère.The packaging (FIG. 5) produced by pouring a substance (FIG. 4) into an article (FIGS. 1 to 3) can be completed by a cover 18 (FIG. 6) introduced into the open end 2 of the rod 1. A such a cover 18 advantageously has a rim 19 of the same external diameter as the rod 1. It gives the rod greater rigidity and a better appearance when packaged, while protecting the base 15 of substance from possible deterioration by the atmosphere .

L'opercule 18 peut consister en une pièce séparée, comme représenté en trais pleins sur la figure 6, on venir de moulage avec le reste de l'article s'il est rattaché à la tige 1 par une patte repliable 20, analogue à la languette 7 de la coiffe 3, comme indiqué en pointillé sur la figure 6.The cover 18 may consist of a separate part, as shown in solid lines in FIG. 6, one comes from molding with the rest of the article if it is attached to the rod 1 by a foldable tab 20, similar to the tongue 7 of the cap 3, as indicated in dotted lines in FIG. 6.

Le conditionnement représenté sur la figure 7 est analogue à celui des figures 5 et 6 mais la tige 1 est recouverte d'un étui décoratif 21 dont la base borgne rentre dans l'extrémité ouverte 2 de la tige pour y former un opercule 18a. Un chapeau décoratif 22 s'emboîte de façon amovible sur l'extrémité ouverte de l'étui 21 qu'il complète, et présente une nervure 23 interne de section tronconique encliquetée dans une rainure complémentaire de la base de la coiffe 5a à laquelle le chapeau est ainsi solidarisé. Dans ce mode de réalisation, la coiffe 5a est indépendante de la tige 1 et du dôme 3.The packaging shown in Figure 7 is similar to that of Figures 5 and 6 but the rod 1 is covered with a decorative case 21 whose base blind fit into the open end 2 of the rod to form an inner seal 18 a. A decorative cap 22 removably fits onto the open end of the case 21 which it completes, and has an internal rib 23 of frustoconical section snapped into a groove complementary to the base of the cap 5 a to which the hat is thus joined together. In this embodiment, the cap 5 a is independent of the rod 1 and the dome 3.

La figure 8 représente un conditionnement analogue à celui des figures 5 et 6, dont l'extrémité ouverte 2 de la tige 1 est insérée de façon amovible sur un téton 24 tubulaire issu d'une face d'une plaque 25 formant présentoir pour une pluralité de conditionnements analogues. Les tétons peuvent être ouverts 24 ou fermés 24a. Ils peuvent avantageusement présenter un rebord annulaire externe 26 à leur extrémité introduite dans la tige d'un conditionnement afin d'y assurer un meilleur maintien malgré une insertion et une extraction facile. Une protection complémentaire à l'atmosphère du culot 15 de substance peut éventuellement être apportée par un opercule 18b, indiqué en pointillé sur la figure 8, inséré au fond de la tige 1.FIG. 8 represents a packaging similar to that of FIGS. 5 and 6, the open end 2 of the rod 1 of which is inserted in a removable manner on a tubular stud 24 coming from one face of a plate 25 forming a display for a plurality similar packaging. The nipples can be opened 24 or closed 24 a . They can advantageously have an external annular rim 26 at their end introduced into the stem of a packaging in order to ensure better support there despite an easy insertion and extraction.
