Description

化妝品取樣系統Cosmetic Sampling System

本公開大致上涉及化妝品、頭髮護理產品、身體護理產品和/或護膚品,並且更具體地說,涉及用於樣品、試用和/或全尺寸產品的系統和方法。The present disclosure relates generally to cosmetics, hair care products, body care products, and/or skin care products, and more particularly, to systems and methods for sample, trial, and/or full-size products.

化妝品和/或護膚品和塗抹器可以具有若干不同的視覺特徵。例如,諸如口紅的產品可以以不同的顏色或色度、光澤度(例如,啞光、緞面或透明)被提供和/或可以具有不同程度的耐轉移性。通常情況下,消費者可能希望在購買全尺寸型號的產品之前測試若干不同的產品。現有的取樣系統通常包括過量的一次性包裝,其製造成本可能很高並且/或者可能帶來環境問題。目前的取樣和試用體驗可能無法模仿全尺寸產品,並且因此,可能無法為消費者提供與使用全尺寸產品時類似的體驗。更具體地說,目前的取樣和試用體驗是以小尺寸提供的,這種小尺寸可能難以握住,並可能帶來其他人體工程學方面的挑戰。在消費者有均具有獨立包裝的各種不同的樣品的情況下,使用者就需要把各個包裝帶在其身上,這可能會造成混亂,並對試用造成障礙。Cosmetic and/or skin care products and applicators can have several different visual characteristics. For example, products such as lipsticks may be offered in different colors or shades, gloss levels (eg, matte, satin, or sheer) and/or may have varying degrees of transfer resistance. Often times, consumers may wish to test several different products before purchasing a full-size model. Existing sampling systems often include excess disposable packaging, which can be expensive to manufacture and/or can present environmental concerns. The current sampling and trial experience may not mimic a full-size product, and therefore, may not provide consumers with a similar experience as when using a full-size product. More specifically, the current sampling and trial experience is provided in a small size that can be difficult to hold and can present other ergonomic challenges. Where a consumer has a variety of different samples, all in individual packages, the user would need to carry each package with him, which could create confusion and hinder trial use.

因此,存在對具有改進功能的改進配件的需要。Therefore, there is a need for improved accessories with improved functionality.

本公開的範圍內的實施例涉及一種用於樣品、試用和/或全尺寸產品的系統。這種系統可以包括限定至少一個腔部的容器、產品盤、化妝品和塗抹器。產品盤包括第一側、第二側、在第一側和第二側之間延伸的主體以及盤釋放機構。產品盤的第一側的至少一部分可選擇性地與容器的至少一個腔部相鄰定位。化妝品至少部分地被設置在產品盤的第一側上。塗抹器具有第一端部,第一端部包括塗抹器保持區段和塗抹器釋放區段。產品盤與塗抹器保持區段可***地耦接。Embodiments within the scope of the present disclosure relate to a system for sample, trial and/or full-scale production. Such a system may include a container defining at least one cavity, a product tray, a cosmetic product and an applicator. The product tray includes a first side, a second side, a body extending between the first side and the second side, and a tray release mechanism. At least a portion of the first side of the product tray is optionally positioned adjacent the at least one cavity of the container. Cosmetic products are at least partially disposed on the first side of the product tray. The applicator has a first end including an applicator retention section and an applicator release section. The product tray is insertably coupled with the applicator holding section.

在一些示例中,塗抹器保持區段可包括限定腔部的側壁,腔部被定尺寸為與產品盤的主體接合。在一些方法中,盤釋放機構包括從主體向外延伸的至少一個突起。此外,塗抹器釋放區段可以包括接收至少一個突起的通道。在這些方法中的一些中,可以通過在遠離塗抹器的第一端部的方向上推動盤釋放機構的至少一個突起來從塗抹器保持區段釋放產品盤。In some examples, the applicator retention section may include side walls defining a cavity sized to engage the body of the product tray. In some methods, the disc release mechanism includes at least one protrusion extending outwardly from the body. Furthermore, the applicator release section may comprise a channel for receiving at least one protrusion. In some of these methods, the product disc may be released from the applicator holding section by pushing at least one protrusion of the disc release mechanism in a direction away from the first end of the applicator.

在一些形式中,產品盤的第一側適於被設置在容器的至少一個腔部內。在這些和其他示例中,容器還可以限定適於保持塗抹器的至少一部分的塗抹器腔。此外,至少一個腔部可以包括保持產品盤的保持構件。此保持構件可以呈磁性構件、側壁或突起中的至少一者的形式。In some forms, the first side of the product tray is adapted to be disposed within at least one cavity of the container. In these and other examples, the container can also define an applicator cavity adapted to hold at least a portion of the applicator. Furthermore, at least one cavity may comprise retaining means for retaining the product tray. This retaining member may be in the form of at least one of a magnetic member, a side wall or a protrusion.

在一些示例中,化妝品和/或護膚品的形式可以是口紅、粉底、遮瑕膏、眼影、銅色化妝品、眉毛、固體精華、固體SPF產品、護膚物品、固體面霜、唇膏、塗抹器頭、刷子、固體腮紅、固體造型棒、浸漬海綿或載器、或半固體護膚品或化妝品中的至少一種。In some examples, the cosmetic and/or skin care product can be in the form of a lipstick, foundation, concealer, eye shadow, bronzer, brow, solid serum, solid SPF product, skin care item, solid face cream, lip balm, applicator tip, brush , at least one of a solid blush, a solid styling stick, an impregnated sponge or carrier, or a semi-solid skin care or cosmetic product.

在一些方法中,產品盤的主體可以限定視覺指示器,當產品盤與至少一個腔部相鄰定位時,視覺指示器允許識別化妝品。In some approaches, the body of the product tray may define a visual indicator that allows identification of the cosmetic product when the product tray is positioned adjacent the at least one cavity.

在一些示例中,容器可以限定第二腔部。系統還可包括至少部分地設置在第二產品盤上的第二化妝品。第二化妝品可以具有與化妝品的視覺特徵不同的視覺特徵。In some examples, the container can define a second cavity. The system may also include a second cosmetic product disposed at least partially on the second product tray. The second cosmetic may have a different visual characteristic than the visual characteristic of the cosmetic.

根據第二方面,可重複使用的產品系統包括塗抹器、產品盤和化妝品。塗抹器包括第一端部,第一端部具有塗抹器保持區段和塗抹器釋放區段。產品盤具有第一側、第二側、在第一側和第二側之間延伸的主體以及盤釋放機構。化妝品至少部分地被設置在產品盤的第一側上。產品盤與塗抹器保持區段可***地耦接。According to a second aspect, a reusable product system includes an applicator, a product tray, and cosmetics. The applicator includes a first end having an applicator retention section and an applicator release section. The product tray has a first side, a second side, a body extending between the first side and the second side, and a tray release mechanism. Cosmetic products are at least partially disposed on the first side of the product tray. The product tray is insertably coupled with the applicator holding section.

一般來說,根據這些不同的方法,提供了一種具有模組化特徵的用於產品的取樣和/或試用系統。本文所述的取樣系統允許使用者根據需要快速且無縫地更換或互換不同的化妝品和/或護膚品和塗抹器,以塗抹於他們的面部和/或皮膚。此系統可使用可重複使用的部件,並可減少整個產品包裝要求。在一些示例中,當使用者確定他們希望以較大量(即全尺寸)購買哪種樣品產品時,此系統同樣可以在其中容納這種較大的量。In general, according to these various methods, a sampling and/or trial system for products with a modular character is provided. The sampling system described herein allows users to quickly and seamlessly change or interchange different cosmetic and/or skin care products and applicators to apply to their face and/or skin as needed. This system allows for the use of reusable components and reduces overall product packaging requirements. In some examples, when a user determines which sample product they wish to purchase in larger quantities (ie, full size), the system can accommodate such larger quantities therein as well.

As illustrated in Figure 4, the one or more through holes 142 allow a portion of the product 101 to be disposed therethrough and/or alternatively may operate as a window or visual indicator that allows the user to Positioning the product tray 140 within the cavity portion 114 of the tray 110 determines the appearance (eg, shade, color, and/or other visual characteristics) of the product 101 disposed on the product receiving surface 144 of the product tray 140 . In some examples, at least one through hole 142 allows for a layer of product 101 to be disposed on the second side 140b of the product tray 140 .

產品盤140還包括呈至少一個突起148的形式的盤釋放機構146。在圖示的示例中,至少一個突起位於產品盤140的外側壁140c上。然而,在其他示例中(未圖示),至少一個突起可以根據需要位於產品盤的第一側140a和/或第二側140b上或附近。更具體地說,突起148呈翼部或操縱桿的形式,從產品盤140的主體140c徑向向外延伸。一般來說,使用者可以接合突起148以使產品盤140與塗抹器管124脫離耦接。The product tray 140 also includes a tray release mechanism 146 in the form of at least one protrusion 148 . In the illustrated example, at least one protrusion is located on the outer side wall 140c of the product tray 140 . However, in other examples (not shown), at least one protrusion may be located on or near the first side 140a and/or the second side 140b of the product tray, as desired. More specifically, the protrusion 148 is in the form of a wing or lever extending radially outward from the main body 140c of the product tray 140 . In general, a user can engage the protrusion 148 to decouple the product tray 140 from the applicator tube 124 .

產品盤140的外側壁140c的至少一部分(即,靠近第二側140b的部分)被定尺寸並構造為被接收和/或嵌套在塗抹器保持區段130的凸台或沉頭區段131內。在這種佈置中,產品盤140的第二側140b可以至少部分地設置在塗抹器保持區段130的內部腔部130b內。類似地,產品盤140被定尺寸,使得它可以與托盤110的腔部114相鄰定位和/或至少部分地定位在托盤110的腔部114內。更具體地說,在一些佈置中,產品盤140的外側壁140c可具有比托盤的腔部114的由側壁112限定的週邊的相應尺寸小的尺寸。因此,產品盤140的主體的至少一部分(即,第一側140a)可定位和/或可嵌套在托盤110的腔部114內。At least a portion of the outer side wall 140c of the product tray 140 (i.e., the portion adjacent the second side 140b) is sized and configured to be received and/or nested within the boss or countersunk section 131 of the applicator holding section 130 Inside. In such an arrangement, the second side 140b of the product disc 140 may be at least partially disposed within the interior cavity 130b of the applicator holding section 130 . Similarly, product tray 140 is sized such that it can be positioned adjacent to and/or at least partially within cavity portion 114 of tray 110 . More specifically, in some arrangements, the outer side walls 140c of the product tray 140 may have dimensions that are smaller than the corresponding dimensions of the perimeter of the cavity portion 114 of the tray defined by the side walls 112 . Accordingly, at least a portion of the body of the product tray 140 (ie, the first side 140a ) can be positioned and/or nested within the cavity portion 114 of the tray 110 .

在一些示例中並且如前所指出的,側壁112的漸縮構造可用作物理限制,此物理限制防止產品盤140被進一步設置到托盤110的腔部114中。因此,當產品盤140與腔部114相鄰定位和/或至少部分地定位在腔部114內時,在產品盤140的產品接收表面144和托盤110的下表面113之間可以形成空間或間隙,此空間或間隙的大小足以保持產品101。因此,產品101可以安全地設置在腔部114內而不被側壁112和/或托盤110的下表面113損壞。如此佈置,除了外側壁140c的一部分之外,產品盤140的第二側140b可從支撐凸台111的上表面111b向上延伸。In some examples and as previously noted, the tapered configuration of the side walls 112 may act as a physical restriction that prevents the product tray 140 from being further disposed into the cavity 114 of the tray 110 . Accordingly, when the product tray 140 is positioned adjacent to and/or at least partially within the cavity portion 114, a space or gap may be formed between the product receiving surface 144 of the product tray 140 and the lower surface 113 of the tray 110. , the size of this space or gap is sufficient to hold the product 101. Accordingly, the product 101 may be safely disposed within the cavity portion 114 without being damaged by the side walls 112 and/or the lower surface 113 of the tray 110 . So arranged, the second side 140b of the product tray 140 may extend upward from the upper surface 111b of the support boss 111 except for a portion of the outer side wall 140c.

在操作中,任何數量的產品盤140可被可移除地保持在托盤110的單獨腔部114內,托盤110又被設置於分隔部108的各個開口108a內,分隔部108被設置於底座104的內部腔部104a內。這些產品盤140中的每一個可以包括具有不同視覺特徵(例如,不同的顏色或色度、光澤度(例如,啞光、緞面或透明),和/或可能具有不同程度的耐轉移性)的產品101的樣品。使用者可以借助通過產品盤140的通孔142查看產品101(或者替代地通過簡單查看設置在產品盤140的第二側140b上的產品101的一部分)來確定他們希望塗抹哪個產品101的樣品。In operation, any number of product trays 140 may be removably held within individual chambers 114 of trays 110 which in turn are disposed within respective openings 108a of dividers 108 disposed in base 104 Inside the inner chamber portion 104a. Each of these product trays 140 may include products with different visual characteristics (e.g., different colors or shades, gloss levels (e.g., matte, satin, or clear), and/or may have different degrees of transfer resistance) A sample of Product 101. A user can determine which sample of product 101 they wish to apply by viewing product 101 through aperture 142 of product tray 140 (or alternatively by simply viewing a portion of product 101 disposed on second side 140b of product tray 140).

在選擇所需的產品101後,使用者可以將塗抹器管124的第一端部124a,且更具體地,塗抹器保持區段130,定位在產品盤140的第二側140b附近,並且可以將塗抹器120朝產品盤140在軸向方向(沿縱向軸線A)移動,使得產品盤的第二側140b進入塗抹器保持區段130的內部腔部130b。在此位置中,產品盤140的外側壁140c嵌套在塗抹器保持區段130的凸台131內,以將產品盤140保持在其內部腔部130b的一部分內。產品盤140和塗抹器保持區段130之間的這種接合可以是摩擦配合連接。在這種構造中,盤釋放機構146的至少一個突起148至少部分地設置在塗抹器釋放區段132的切口133內。然後,使用者可以將塗抹器120從托盤110抬起,這將進而導致產品盤140從其中被移除。然後,使用者可以根據需要塗抹產品101的樣品,此樣品被設置在產品盤140的朝外的第一側140a上。After selecting the desired product 101, the user can position the first end 124a of the applicator tube 124, and more specifically, the applicator holding section 130, near the second side 140b of the product tray 140, and can The applicator 120 is moved in the axial direction (along the longitudinal axis A) towards the product disc 140 such that the second side 140b of the product disc enters the interior cavity 130b of the applicator holding section 130 . In this position, the outer side wall 140c of the product disc 140 nests within the boss 131 of the applicator retaining section 130 to retain the product disc 140 within a portion of its interior cavity 130b. This engagement between product disc 140 and applicator retaining section 130 may be a friction fit connection. In this configuration, at least one protrusion 148 of the disc release mechanism 146 is at least partially disposed within the cutout 133 of the applicator release section 132 . The user may then lift the applicator 120 from the tray 110, which in turn will cause the product tray 140 to be removed therefrom. The user may then apply a sample of the product 101 as desired, the sample being disposed on the outwardly facing first side 140a of the product tray 140 .

如此佈置,側壁130a和凸台131配合,從而以安全的方式保持產品盤140。在一些示例中,塗抹器120和產品盤140之間的接合可以產生觸覺回饋,以提醒使用者塗抹器120和產品盤140完全耦接在一起。此外,在一些示例中,產品盤140和/或塗抹器保持區段130的至少一部分可以由磁性材料形成,此磁性材料導致產品盤140與塗抹器120磁性地固定。So arranged, the side wall 130a cooperates with the boss 131 to hold the product tray 140 in a secure manner. In some examples, the engagement between applicator 120 and product disc 140 may generate tactile feedback to alert the user that applicator 120 and product disc 140 are fully coupled together. Additionally, in some examples, at least a portion of product tray 140 and/or applicator retention section 130 may be formed from a magnetic material that causes product tray 140 to be magnetically secured to applicator 120 .

在一些示例中,使用者可以在產品盤140與塗抹器120耦接時,將帽121放在塗抹器底座122上,以達到儲存的目的。In some examples, a user may place cap 121 on applicator base 122 while product tray 140 is coupled to applicator 120 for storage purposes.

可以通過將突起148從塗抹器釋放區段132的切口133中手動滑出或推出而使產品盤140與塗抹器120脫離耦接。使用者將第一側140a定位在托盤110的腔部114附近和/或腔部114內,並在軸向方向上推動突起148離開塗抹器管124的第一端部124a。這種推動導致產品盤140滑出凸台131,從而使產品盤140與塗抹器保持區段130脫離耦接,並允許產品盤落入所需的腔部114內或附近。在一些示例中,側壁112可以包括磁體,其有助於將產品盤140保持在腔部114內。The product tray 140 can be decoupled from the applicator 120 by manually sliding or pushing the protrusion 148 out of the cutout 133 of the applicator release section 132 . The user positions first side 140a near and/or within cavity 114 of tray 110 and pushes protrusion 148 in an axial direction away from first end 124a of applicator tube 124 . This urging causes the product disc 140 to slide out of the boss 131 , thereby decoupling the product disc 140 from the applicator retention section 130 and allowing the product disc to drop into or near the desired cavity 114 . In some examples, sidewall 112 may include magnets that help retain product tray 140 within cavity portion 114 .

在選擇性地將產品盤140與塗抹器120脫離接合後,使用者可以將不同的產品盤140與此塗抹器接合,以塗抹所需的產品101,或者可以根據需要將塗抹器返回到塗抹器腔116。如此構造,使用者可以快速地選擇性地對任何數量的不同的化妝品和/或護膚品101進行取樣,以確定隨後購買的所需產品。在一些示例中,塗抹器管124可以被定尺寸成容納全尺寸量的產品101,以允許使用用於對不同的產品101進行取樣的同一塗抹器120。在這樣的示例中,塗抹器管124可以包括前進/後退機構。在其他示例中,當使用者確定他們希望購買哪個全尺寸產品時,塗抹器管124可以從底座122中被移除,並且替換的塗抹器(未圖示)可以被***底座122中,此塗抹器包括全尺寸量的產品101。在一些示例中,產品盤140在返回到製造商時可以被重複使用和/或回收,從而有可能減少整體部件和製造成本。After selectively disengaging the product tray 140 from the applicator 120, the user can engage a different product tray 140 with that applicator to apply the desired product 101, or can return the applicator to the applicator as desired. Cavity 116. So configured, a user can quickly and selectively sample any number of different cosmetic and/or skin care products 101 to determine a desired product for subsequent purchase. In some examples, the applicator tube 124 may be sized to accommodate a full-sized amount of product 101 to allow the same applicator 120 to be used for sampling different products 101 . In such examples, the applicator tube 124 may include an advance/reverse mechanism. In other examples, when a user determines which full-size product they wish to purchase, the applicator tube 124 can be removed from the base 122, and a replacement applicator (not shown) can be inserted into the base 122, the applicator The appliance includes a full-sized quantity of product 101. In some examples, product tray 140 may be reused and/or recycled when returned to the manufacturer, potentially reducing overall component and manufacturing costs.

將理解的是,可以對系統100進行任意數量的修改。例如,如圖11所圖示的,在一些方法中,當產品盤140與塗抹器管124耦接時,突起148可能未設置在切口133內。相反,突起148可以與塗抹器管124的第一端部124a(即,塗抹器保持區段130的側壁130a的端部)鄰接。在這樣的佈置中,突起148以超出塗抹器管124的外部直徑的徑向距離延伸,並且因此,使用者可以以類似於前述的方式從塗抹器管124推動產品盤140。It will be understood that any number of modifications may be made to system 100 . For example, as illustrated in FIG. 11 , in some approaches, the protrusion 148 may not be disposed within the cutout 133 when the product disc 140 is coupled with the applicator tube 124 . Instead, the protrusion 148 may abut the first end 124a of the applicator tube 124 (ie, the end of the side wall 130a of the applicator retaining section 130). In such an arrangement, the protrusion 148 extends a radial distance beyond the outer diameter of the applicator tube 124, and thus, a user can push the product disc 140 from the applicator tube 124 in a manner similar to that previously described.

圖12和圖13圖示了替代性塗抹器管224,此塗抹器管224具有呈推動以釋放機構(push-to-release mechanism)233的形式的塗抹器釋放區段232。推動以釋放機構233設置在塗抹器管224上,並且可以由使用者壓下,以使設置在塗抹器管224的第一端部224a處的推動構件與產品盤240的第二側240b接合,以推動產品盤240離開塗抹器保持區段230。12 and 13 illustrate an alternative applicator tube 224 having an applicator release section 232 in the form of a push-to-release mechanism 233 . A push-to-release mechanism 233 is provided on the applicator tube 224 and can be depressed by a user to engage a push member provided at the first end 224a of the applicator tube 224 with the second side 240b of the product tray 240, to push the product disc 240 away from the applicator holding section 230 .

在一些示例中(未圖示),塗抹器保持區段130、塗抹器釋放區段132和盤連接機構146可以具有相反的構造,據此塗抹器被***到產品盤的一部分中。其他佈置也是可能的。In some examples (not shown), applicator retention section 130, applicator release section 132, and disc connection mechanism 146 may have a reverse configuration whereby an applicator is inserted into a portion of a product disc. Other arrangements are also possible.

此外,在一些替代性佈置中,可以提供具有單個塗抹器底座的取樣系統,此塗抹器底座適於接收若干塗抹器管,其中每個塗抹器管被構造為容納具有獨特視覺或其他特徵的產品(例如,唇膏或其他化妝品和/或護膚品的樣品量)。更具體地說,在這些示例中,可以提供容器,其被定尺寸成接收和保持若干塗抹器管。在一些示例中,每個不同的塗抹器管都可以包括設置在其上的產品的顏色的視覺指示器。在使用者選擇了所需的產品後,他們可以將底座與塗抹器管耦接,並塗抹產品。底座和塗抹器管之間的這種耦接可以是摩擦配合接合、螺紋耦接等等。然後,使用者可以選擇通過將塗抹器管與底座脫離接合將塗抹器管返回到其在容器中的指定儲存位置,或者可以選擇性地將整個塗抹器(即底座、塗抹器管和/或帽)放入容器的塗抹器腔中。Furthermore, in some alternative arrangements, a sampling system may be provided having a single applicator base adapted to receive several applicator tubes, wherein each applicator tube is configured to accommodate a product having a unique visual or other characteristic (e.g. sample size of lipstick or other cosmetic and/or skin care products). More specifically, in these examples, a container may be provided that is sized to receive and hold several applicator tubes. In some examples, each distinct applicator tube can include a visual indicator of the color of the product disposed thereon. After the user selects the desired product, they can couple the base with the applicator tube and apply the product. This coupling between the base and the applicator tube may be a friction fit engagement, a threaded coupling, or the like. The user can then choose to return the applicator tube to its designated storage position in the container by disengaging the applicator tube from the base, or can optionally return the entire applicator (i.e. base, applicator tube and/or cap) ) into the applicator cavity of the container.
