Definitions
- a tubular cosmetic product cartridge configured to releasably mate to a base
- the invention relates to containers for cosmetic product. More specifically, the invention relates to cosmetic dispensing devices that include a base and a cartridge configured to removably mate with one another. The invention relates in particular to lipstick dispensing devices.
- a cosmetic product dispensing device may comprise a base and a cartridge coupled to the base. This is in particular often the case of devices for dispensing lipstick.
- the cartridge thus serves to contain a grape of lipstick and to allow access. To do this, the cartridge has a receptacle of the grape lipstick.
- the base has, among others, the function of allowing a gripping of the dispensing device of lipstick.
- the cartridge and the base are arranged one after the other along a longitudinal axis of the lipstick dispenser.
- the cartridge and the base are coupled and are rotatable, relative to each other, along an axis of rotation corresponding to the longitudinal axis of the lipstick dispensing device.
- the base and the cartridge are permanently coupled. So when the lipstick grape is consumed, it is necessary to buy a new dispensing device.
- An object of the invention is to provide a cosmetic product cartridge which can be removably coupled to a base and whose stored cosmetic product is better protected.
- the invention provides a tubular cartridge of cosmetic product comprising a first longitudinal end intended to allow access to the cosmetic product and a second longitudinal end opposite to a longitudinal axis, the cartridge further comprising:
- an outer tube comprising at least one helical groove
- control bushing comprising at least one longitudinal guiding slit
- a receptacle for a cosmetic product cooperating with the helical groove of the outer tube and the longitudinal slot for guiding the control sleeve
- the cartridge being configured to be removably coupled to a base so that relative rotation of the base relative to the cartridge causes movement of the cosmetic product receptacle relative to the outer tube along a longitudinal axis of the cartridge; cartridge, characterized in that the bottom element contributes to closing the access to the cartridge by the second longitudinal end of the cartridge, in that the bottom element comprises a ring of ferromagnetic material or a magnet configured to contribute to providing a retention force between the cartridge and the base when the cartridge is coupled to the base, and in that the bottom member is covered radially outwardly by the outer tube.
- this arrangement makes it possible to secure the cartridge when it is removed from the base and stored for example in a handbag of a user.
- the term 'secure' covers two aspects: on the one hand a practical impossibility to operate the control sleeve via a rotation of the bottom element when the cartridge is removed from the base and on the other hand the prevention of pollution potential of the cartridge by entering small foreign bodies on the side of its second longitudinal end.
- the bottom member being covered radially outwardly by the outer tube, it is not possible to grasp it between two fingers to rotate the control sleeve; Moreover, given the small diameter of the bottom element, it is very difficult or impossible to turn even inserting the little finger.
- the cosmetic product receptacle remains in the current position and the cosmetic product is perfectly secure with respect to the risks of entry of small foreign bodies into the interior of the cartridge.
- a small plug or a cap may be provided on the side of the first longitudinal end, in addition to the closure by the bottom member, to prevent small foreign bodies from entering the cartridge and pollute the lipstick grape by the before.
- a single piece namely the bottom element of the cartridge, can fulfill two distinct functions.
- the bottom element closes the access to the cartridge and thus makes it possible to avoid, when the cartridge is not coupled to the base, that a user accesses the cosmetic product or that particles of dust gain the cartridge when it is for example arranged at the bottom of a handbag.
- the bottom element optionally makes it possible to transmit to the control bushing a rotational movement produced from the base. It thus makes it possible to move the receptacle of cosmetic product, in particular longitudinally.
- the bottom element contributes to closing the access to the cartridge by the second longitudinal end of the cartridge
- the bottom element obstructs an access according to a longitudinal axis of the cartridge.
- the outer tube may radially surround the bottom member and close radial access to the second longitudinal end of the cartridge.
- the bottom member closes access to the cartridge by the second longitudinal end of the cartridge; accordingly, one piece, namely the bottom element, makes it possible to close the access to the cartridge;
- the bottom member comprises a bearing portion for a longitudinal end of the control sleeve; thus, the rotational coupling between the bottom member and the control sleeve is performed simply;
- the outer tube extends longitudinally around and over a whole height of the bottom element; thus, when the cartridge is not coupled to the base, the outer tube prevents an accidental rotation of the bottom element and therefore an accidental displacement of the cosmetic product receptacle; the outer tube extends substantially over an entire height of the cartridge; as a result, the outer tube forms a protective sleeve of the cartridge; it is not possible to grasp between two fingers of the bottom element to rotate it and the control sleeve;
- the bottom element contributes to forming, preferably with the outer tube, the second longitudinal end of the cartridge; thus, the outer tube protects the bottom member;
- the bottom member is disposed at a distance and set back from the second longitudinal end of the cartridge; accordingly, when the cartridge is not coupled to the base, the bottom member is protected and is not likely to accidentally enter rotation thereby causing the control sleeve;
- the cosmetic product receptacle comprises at least one guide pin which passes through the longitudinal guide slot of the control sleeve and is disposed in the helical groove of the outer tube; thus, a simple mechanism makes it possible to make the receptacle of cosmetic product mobile along the longitudinal axis of the cartridge;
- the guide pin is advantageously a nipple; it is therefore easy to obtain by molding;
- the bottom element comprises a first face facing the cosmetic product receptacle and a second longitudinally opposite face, the second face comprising a coupling member configured to cooperate with the base; accordingly, the bottom member secures, in rotation about the longitudinal axis of the cartridge, the base and the control sleeve;
- the cartridge has fewer distinct parts
- the outer tube comprises a covering piece which surrounds a technical part comprising a helical groove; as a result, the outer tube comprises two separate parts each having a specific function, the cladding piece structurally reinforcing the outer tube, the technical part making it possible to implement the movement mechanism of the receptacle along the longitudinal axis of the cartridge;
- the cartridge has a first cylindrical portion and a second cylindrical portion disposed after the first cylindrical portion, the second cylindrical portion having the bottom member and having a diameter greater than a diameter of the first cylindrical portion; thus, the second cylindrical portion has a larger interior space for housing a mechanism coupling between the bottom member and the base or between the bottom member and the control sleeve or between the base and the control sleeve;
- the cosmetic product is a grape of lipstick
- the bottom element comprises an annular zone loaded with ferromagnetic elements; thus it is easy to obtain a magnetic coupling, even without the presence of a permanent magnet in the cartridge,
- the bottom element has a substantially planar central outer face (in a median plane perpendicular to the X axis, and preferably slightly indented); so that when the cartridge is in a purse, the risk of finding objects or foreign bodies stuck on the bottom side of the cartridge is significantly reduced.
- a cosmetic product dispensing device comprising a cartridge as described above and a base, the cartridge and the base being releasably coupled.
- a permanent magnet is provided in the base.
- the base being a valuable part of the case, it is preserved in case of cartridge change and therefore we do not throw a permanent magnet with the cartridge, instead the permanent magnet is kept in the base.
- an interval representing an air gap (e) separating the permanent magnet from the ring loaded with ferromagnetic elements is less than 0.5 mm and preferably less than 0.5 mm. at 0.2 mm.
- the cosmetic product dispensing device preferably comprises a lipstick grape disposed in the cosmetic product receptacle of the cartridge.
