Description

La présente invention concerne une boîte d'emballage perdu destinée notamment à recevoir une recharge de produit cosmétique.The present invention relates to a lost packaging box intended in particular to receive a refill of cosmetic product.

Les poudriers comportent en général au moins un compartiment destiné à recevoir une recharge de produit cosmétique. Ces poudriers sont quelquefois réalisés sous forme d'objets de valeur ou même de bijoux, et il est prévu des recharges pour remplacer le cake utilisé.The compacts generally include at least one compartment intended to receive a refill of cosmetic product. These compacts are sometimes made in the form of valuables or even jewelry, and refills are provided to replace the cake used.

La recharge doit être présentée à la vente dans un emballage ayant une rigidité suffisante pour éviter sa brisure. De plus, par mesure d'hygiène, il est souhaitable que le produit présenté à la vente ne puisse être manipulé par les clients potentiels.The refill must be presented for sale in a packaging having sufficient rigidity to prevent it from breaking. In addition, for hygienic reasons, it is desirable that the product presented for sale cannot be handled by potential customers.

Le but de la présente invention est de présenter une boîte d'emballage qui soit suffisamment rigide pour assurer l'intégrité du contenant, et qui satisfasse les normes d'hygiène nécessaires pour ces produits.The object of the present invention is to present a packaging box which is rigid enough to ensure the integrity of the container, and which meets the hygiene standards necessary for these products.

En outre, compte tenu du produit contenu dans l'emballage, il est très souhaitable que ce dernier soit d'une présentation agréable rappelant celle de l'emballage initial tout en étant d'un coût de fabrication réduit puisqu'il est destiné à n'être utilisé qu'une seule fois.In addition, taking into account the product contained in the packaging, it is very desirable that the latter be of a pleasant presentation recalling that of the initial packaging while being of a reduced manufacturing cost since it is intended for n be used only once.

Enfin, il est très préférable que la boîte d'emballage puisse être ouverte manuellement sans effort particulier et sans que cela nécessite de faire appel à un outil.Finally, it is very preferable that the packaging box can be opened manually without any particular effort and without requiring the use of a tool.

L'invention concerne essentiellement une boîte d'emballage pour recharge de produit cosmétique, mais il est manifeste que la boîte proposée peut servir à l'emballage de nombreux autres produits.The invention essentially relates to a packaging box for refilling a cosmetic product, but it is obvious that the proposed box can be used for packaging many other products.

Le but est atteint selon l'invention par le fait que la boîte d'emballage perdu, est caractérisée en ce qu'elle comprend :
   un fond rigide,
   un couvercle rigide présentant sur son pourtour une paroi latérale munie de moyens d'encliquetage pour verrouiller ledit couvercle pour ledit fond lorsque ledit couvercle est en position fermée, et
   des moyens d'inviolabilité comprenant une pièce d'inviolabilité solidaire dudit fond par une pluralité de pattes, lesdites pattes ayant une section droite permettant de les casser manuellement, au moins certains desdits moyens d'encliquetage coopérant avec ladite pièce d'inviolabilité, par quoi ledit couvercle ne peut être écarté dudit fond qu'après la séparation de ladite pièce d'inviolabilité dudit fond et ledit couvercle ne peut être refermé après la séparation de ladite pièce d'inviolabilité.The object is achieved according to the invention by the fact that the lost packaging box is characterized in that it comprises:
a rigid bottom,
a rigid cover having on its periphery a side wall provided with latching means for locking said cover for said bottom when said cover is in the closed position, and
tamper-evident means comprising a tamper-evident part secured to said bottom by a plurality of tabs, said tabs having a cross section allowing them to be broken manually, at least some of said means latching cooperating with said tamper-evident piece, whereby said cover can only be moved away from said bottom after separation of said tamper-evident piece from said bottom and said cover cannot be closed after separation from said tamper-evident piece .

Grâce à cette disposition du dispositif d'inviolabilité, il est impossible de maintenir le couvercle sur le fond après son arrachage. Ceci empêche donc de remettre à la vente une recharge dont la boîte aurait été ouverte par malveillance ou par accident.Thanks to this arrangement of the tamper-evident device, it is impossible to maintain the cover on the bottom after it has been torn off. This therefore prevents a refill from being put up for sale, the box of which was maliciously or accidentally opened.

Avantageusement lesdits moyens d'inviolabilité comportent au moins une languette s'étendant vers l'extérieur de ladite boîte et reliée audit fond par une pluralité de pattes cassables par flexion de ladite languette. Lesdits moyens d'encliquetage comportent, d'une part, au moins un épaulement formé sur la paroi latérale dudit couvercle et, d'autre part, au moins une paroi de butée formée sur ladite languette et destinée à coopérer avec ledit épaulement pour verrouiller ledit couvercle sur ledit fond.Advantageously, said tamper-evident means comprise at least one tongue extending towards the outside of said box and connected to said bottom by a plurality of breakable tabs by bending of said tongue. Said latching means comprise, on the one hand, at least one shoulder formed on the side wall of said cover and, on the other hand, at least one abutment wall formed on said tongue and intended to cooperate with said shoulder to lock said cover on said bottom.

Avantageusement les moyens d'encliquetage comportent de plus, au moins une paroi de butée formée sur ledit fond et coopérant avec un épaulement formé sur la paroi latérale du couvercle.Advantageously, the latching means further comprise at least one abutment wall formed on said bottom and cooperating with a shoulder formed on the side wall of the cover.

De préférence, ladite boîte est de forme rectangulaire. ladite languette est disposée sur un côté de ladite boîte. la paroi de butée formée sur ledit fond est disposée sur ledit côté opposé à ladite languette et ledit fond présente sur sa face supérieure une rainure destinée à loger le bord inférieur de la paroi latérale dudit couvercle.Preferably, said box is rectangular in shape. said tongue is arranged on one side of said box. the abutment wall formed on said bottom is disposed on said side opposite to said tongue and said bottom has on its upper face a groove intended to accommodate the lower edge of the side wall of said cover.

De préférence, ladite languette s'étend sur toutes la longueur du côté adjacent dudit fond.Preferably, said tongue extends over all the length of the adjacent side of said bottom.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, lesdits moyens d'inviolabilité se présentent sous la forme d'une ceinture entourant ledit fond et reliée à ce dernier par une pluralité de pattes cassables. Les moyens d'encliquetage comportent, d'une part, des épaulements formés sur la paroi latérale dudit couvercle et s'étendant vers l'extérieur, et d'autre part, des parois de butée prévues sur ladite ceinture, s'étendant vers l'intérieur de ladite boîte et coopérant avec lesdits épaulements. Le bord inférieur de la paroi latérale du couvercle repose sur lesdites pattes, lesdites pattes étant cassées en appliquant une force prédéterminée sur ledit couvercle.According to another embodiment, said tamper-evident means are in the form of a belt surrounding said bottom and connected to the latter by a plurality of breakable tabs. The latching means comprise, on the one hand, shoulders formed on the side wall of said cover and extending outward, and on the other hand, abutment walls provided on said belt, extending towards the inside said box and cooperating with said shoulders. The lower edge of the side wall of the cover rests on said legs, said legs being broken by applying a predetermined force on said cover.

De préférence, ledit fond et ledit couvercle sont réalisés par moulage d'une matière plastique. Le couvercle est avantageusement réalisé en une matière plastique transparente.Preferably, said bottom and said cover are made by molding a plastic material. The cover is advantageously made of a transparent plastic material.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques ressortiront à la lecture de la description suivante faite à titre d'exemple et en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 montre en perspective une boîte d'emballage selon l'invention,
  • la figure 2 représente une vue de dessus du fond de la boîte de la figure 1,

  • la figure 7 représente un deuxième mode de réalisation de la boîte d'emballage selon l'invention.
Other advantages and characteristics will become apparent on reading the following description given by way of example and with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 shows in perspective a packaging box according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 represents a top view of the bottom of the box of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 is a longitudinal section of the box of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 4 is a cross section of the box of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 5 is a section on a larger scale of the latching means in the vicinity of the tamper-evident device of the box of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 6 is a section on a larger scale of the latching means on the side opposite the tamper-evident device of the box of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 7 represents a second embodiment of the packaging box according to the invention.

Les figures 1 à 6 montrent un premier mode de réalisation d'une boîte d'emballage 1 de forme parallélépipédique comportant un fond 2 rigide et un couvercle 3 également rigide qui présente sur son pourtour une paroi latérale 4 dont le bord inférieur 5 repose sur la face supérieure du fond 2, celui-ci présentant sur son pourtour un bourrelet 6 protégeant le bord inférieur 5 de la paroi latérale 4. Le bourrelet 6 est destiné à empêcher le couvercle 3 de se déplacer latéralement sur le fond 2.Figures 1 to 6 show a first embodiment of a packaging box 1 of parallelepiped shape having a rigid bottom 2 and a cover 3 also rigid which has on its periphery a side wall 4 whose lower edge 5 rests on the upper face of the bottom 2, the latter having on its periphery a bead 6 protecting the lower edge 5 of the side wall 4. The bead 6 is intended to prevent the cover 3 from moving laterally on the bottom 2.

Le couvercle 3 est maintenu sur le fond 2 à l'aide de moyens d'encliquetage 7a et 7b prévus sur les extrémités opposés 8 et 9 de la boîte d'emballage 1.The cover 3 is held on the bottom 2 by means of latching means 7a and 7b provided on the opposite ends 8 and 9 of the packaging box 1.

Par mesure de clarté nous appelerons l'extrémité 8 la face avant de la boîte 1 et l'extrémité 9 la face arrière de la boîte 1.For the sake of clarity, we will call end 8 the front face of box 1 and end 9 the rear face of box 1.

Comme on le voit sur le dessin, la boîte 1 présente de plus sur sa face avant 8 une languette 10 qui prolonge le fond 2 vers l'extrémité de la boîte 1 au-delà de la paroi latérale avant 4a du couvercle 3, et qui s'étend sur toute la largeur de la boîte 1.As can be seen in the drawing, the box 1 also has on its front face 8 a tongue 10 which extends the bottom 2 towards the end of the box 1 beyond the front side wall 4a of the cover 3, and which extends over the entire width of the box 1.

La languette 10 est reliée au fond 2 par une pluralité de pattes 11 qui se cassent lorsqu'on exerce une force F sur la face supérieure de la languette 10.The tongue 10 is connected to the bottom 2 by a plurality of lugs 11 which break when a force F is exerted on the upper face of the tongue 10.

De préférence, il est prévu une fente 12 entre le fond 2 et la portion du bourrelet 6 qui est intégrée à la languette 10, et les pattes 11 se trouvent dans le prolongement des côtés latéraux du fond 2, mais il est également possible de prévoir des pattes complémentaires entre les pattes latérales 11.Preferably, a slot 12 is provided between the bottom 2 and the portion of the bead 6 which is integrated into the tongue 10, and the tabs 11 are located in the extension of the lateral sides of the bottom 2, but it is also possible to provide complementary legs between the side legs 11.

Le fond 2 présente au voisinage de son pourtour une rainure 13 ouverte vers le haut et destinée à recevoir le bord inférieur 5 du couvercle 3. Cette rainure 13 est délimitée, d'une part, par le bourrelet 6 entourant la paroi latérale 4 et, d'autre part, par une nervure intérieure 14.The bottom 2 has in the vicinity of its periphery a groove 13 open upwards and intended to receive the lower edge 5 of the cover 3. This groove 13 is delimited, on the one hand, by the bead 6 surrounding the side wall 4 and, on the other hand, by an internal rib 14.

Comme on le voit sur les figures 5 et 6, les bords des parois avant 4a et arrière 4b du couvercle présentent respectivement des surépaisseurs formant des épaulements 15a, 15b dirigés vers l'extérieur et destinés à coopérer respectivement avec des parois de butée 16a et 16b formées sur le bourrelet 6. La paroi de butée avant 16a est prévue sur la languette 10 et la paroi de butée arrière 16b est prévue sur la portion du bourrelet 6 voisine de la paroi arrière 4b.As can be seen in FIGS. 5 and 6, the edges of the front 4a and rear 4b walls of the cover respectively have extra thicknesses forming shoulders 15a, 15b directed outwards and intended to cooperate respectively with stop walls 16a and 16b formed on the bead 6. The front stop wall 16a is provided on the tongue 10 and the rear stop wall 16b is provided on the portion of the bead 6 adjacent to the rear wall 4b.

Il faut noter que sur la figure 6 on voit qu'il est également prévu une fente 12 près de la face arrière 9 entre le bourrelet 6 et la nervure interne 14, dans le but de simplifier la réalisation du fond 2 par moulage.Note that in Figure 6 we see that there is also a slot 12 near the rear face 9 between the bead 6 and the internal rib 14, in order to simplify the production of the bottom 2 by molding.

Le fond 2 et le couvercle 3 sont réalisés de préférence par moulage d'un matériau plastique à la fois résistant et également cassant pour permettre la rupture des pattes 11 par une simple pression manuelle sur la languette 10.The bottom 2 and the cover 3 are preferably made by molding a plastic material which is both resistant and also brittle to allow the tabs 11 to rupture by simple manual pressure on the tongue 10.

Le matériau utilisé est, par exemple, du polystyrène. De préférence, le couvercle 3 est transparent.The material used is, for example, polystyrene. Preferably, the cover 3 is transparent.

Comme on le voit sur la figure 5 le bord du couvercle 3 présente au droit de l'épaulement 15a, une surface inclinée 17 sur sa face inférieure. La fermeture de la boîte 1 se fait en introduisant l'épaulement arrière 15b du couvercle 3 dans la cavité ménagée par la paroi de butée 16b dans le bourrelet 6 de la face arrière 9 et en faisant pivoter le couvercle 3 par rapport au fond 2 autour de la paroi de butée 16b. La surface inclinée 17 coopère avec la paroi de butée 16a de la languette 10 pour permettre l'encliquetage du couvercle 3 sur le fond 2. Le couvercle 3 est alors bloqué et verrouillé sur le fond 2.As seen in Figure 5 the edge of the cover 3 has the right of the shoulder 15a, an inclined surface 17 on its underside. The box 1 is closed by introducing the rear shoulder 15b of the cover 3 into the cavity provided by the abutment wall 16b in the bead 6 of the rear face 9 and by pivoting the cover 3 relative to the bottom 2 around of the abutment wall 16b. The inclined surface 17 cooperates with the abutment wall 16a of the tongue 10 to allow the latching of the cover 3 on the bottom 2. The cover 3 is then blocked and locked on the bottom 2.

Pour ouvrir la boîte, il faut exercer une pression F sur la languette 10 pour casser les pattes 11. La languette 10 joue le rôle d'une pièce d'inviolabilité. La languette 10 peut être aisément saisie ce qui permet de casser les pattes 11 sans effort important. On comprend aisément qu'après avoir arraché la languette 10, le couvercle 3 ne soit plus bloqué sur le fond 2. Il est donc impossible de refermer la boîte à nouveau.To open the box, it is necessary to exert pressure F on the tongue 10 to break the tabs 11. The tongue 10 plays the role of a tamper-evident piece. The tongue 10 can be easily grasped, which makes it possible to break the tabs 11 without significant effort. It is easily understood that after having torn off the tongue 10, the cover 3 is no longer blocked on the bottom 2. It is therefore impossible to close the box again.

On remarque également sur la figure 2 que le fond 2 présente des perçages 18 destinés à faciliter la sortie du produit renfermé dans la boîte 1 et des nervures complémentaires 19 destinées à caler le produit sur le fond 2 et s'étendant vers le fond de la boîte 1 à partir de la nervure intérieure 14.We also note in Figure 2 that the bottom 2 has holes 18 intended to facilitate the exit of the product contained in the box 1 and complementary ribs 19 intended to wedge the product on the bottom 2 and extending towards the bottom of the box 1 from the inner rib 14.

On voit aussi que les éléments d'encliquetage sont masqués par le bourrelet 6, ce qui confère à la boîte un aspect agréable, conforme à la nature du produit emballé.We also see that the snap-in elements are masked by the bead 6, which gives the box a pleasant appearance, in accordance with the nature of the packaged product.

La figure 7 montre, en coupe verticale, un deuxième mode de réalisation de la boîte 1 comportant un fond 2 et un couvercle 3. Dans ce deuxième mode de réalisation, la boîte peut être de forme circulaire ou polygonale. Le fond 2 présente sur son pourtour une ceinture ou un bourrelet 6 relié à la partie centrale du fond 2 par une pluralité de pattes cassables 11 disposées de telle manière que le bord inférieur 5 du couvercle 3 repose sur lesdites pattes 11. Le fond 2 présente sur son pourtour une rainure 13 délimitée par le bourrelet 6 et une nervure intérieure 14. Les pattes cassables 11 sont disposées au fond de la rainure 13. Le bourrelet 6 présente un épaulement 16 dirigé vers l'intérieur de la boîte 1 et une jupe 18 s'étendant sous les pattes 11. Le couvercle 3 comporte des portions de parois de butée 15 destinées à coopérer avec l'épaulement 16 et s'étendant vers l'extérieur sous le bord inférieur 5 du couvercle 3. Lesdites portions de parois de butée 15, de forme tronconique s'amincissant vers le bas, sont disposées entre les pattes 11.FIG. 7 shows, in vertical section, a second embodiment of the box 1 comprising a bottom 2 and a cover 3. In this second embodiment, the box can be of circular or polygonal shape. The bottom 2 has on its periphery a belt or a bead 6 connected to the central part of the bottom 2 by a plurality of breakable legs 11 arranged in such a way that the lower edge 5 of the cover 3 rests on said legs 11. The bottom 2 has on its periphery a groove 13 delimited by the bead 6 and an internal rib 14. The breakable tabs 11 are arranged at the bottom of the groove 13. The bead 6 has a shoulder 16 directed towards the inside of the box 1 and a skirt 18 extending under the legs 11. The cover 3 comprises portions of abutment walls 15 intended to cooperate with the shoulder 16 and extending outwards under the lower edge 5 of the cover 3. Said portions of abutment walls 15, of frustoconical shape tapering downwards, are arranged between the tabs 11.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, la fermeture de la boîte se fait en disposant le couvercle 3 sur le fond 2 et en exerçant une pression sur la face supérieure du couvercle 3. Les portions de parois de butée 15 coopèrent avec le bourrelet 6 pour permettre l'encliquetage du couvercle 3 sur le fond 2. Pour ouvrir la boîte 1 il est nécessaire de briser les pattes 11 joignant le bourrelet 6 à la partie centrale du fond 2. Ceci se fait en exerçant une pression supplémentaire sur le couvercle 3. le bourrelet 6 se désolidarise alors de la partie centrale du fond 2. Dans ce cas encore l'ouverture de la boîte peut être obtenue sans que cela nécessite un effort physique particulier à son utilisateur. on comprend également qu'après la désolidarisation du bourrelet 6, il est impossible de fixer à nouveau le couvercle 3 sur le fond 2.In this embodiment, the box is closed by placing the cover 3 on the bottom 2 and by exerting pressure on the upper face of the cover 3. The portions of abutment walls 15 cooperate with the bead 6 to allow the latching of the cover 3 on the bottom 2. To open the box 1 it is necessary to break the tabs 11 joining the bead 6 to the central part of the bottom 2. This is done by exerting additional pressure on the cover 3. the bead 6 then dissociates from the central part of the bottom 2. In this case again, the opening of the box can be obtained without requiring any physical effort from its user. it is also understood that after the bead 6 has been detached, it is impossible to fix the cover 3 again on the bottom 2.
