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 specifically, to systems and methods for sample, trial, and/or full-scale 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。 Cosmetics and/or skin care products and applicators may have several different visual features. For example, a product such as a lipstick may be provided in different colors or shades, glosses (e.g., matte, satin, or clear), and/or may have different degrees of transfer resistance. Often, a consumer may wish to test several different products before purchasing a full-sized version of the product. Existing sampling systems often include an excess of disposable packaging, which may be expensive to manufacture and/or may present environmental issues. Current sampling and trial experiences may not mimic a full-sized product and, therefore, may not provide consumers with an experience similar to that of using a full-sized product. More specifically, current sampling and trial experiences are provided in small sizes that may be difficult to hold and may present other ergonomic challenges. In the case where the consumer has various different samples each with separate packaging, the user needs to carry each package on his/her person, which may cause confusion and create obstacles to 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、第二側和在第一側和第二側之間延伸的主體。產品盤可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耦接機構。產品盤與容器的腔部以及塗抹器耦接機構可移除地耦接。 Embodiments within the scope of the present disclosure relate to a system for sample, trial, and/or full-scale products. 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, and a body extending between the first side and the second side. The product tray may be positioned adjacent at least one cavity of the container. The cosmetic product is at least partially disposed on the first side of the product tray. The applicator has a first end that includes an applicator coupling mechanism. The product tray is removably coupled to the cavity of the container and the applicator coupling mechanism.

在實施例中，產品盤的主體可以包括凸台，並且塗抹器耦接機構可以包括軌道，軌道可滑動地接合主體的凸台。在一些示例中，產品盤的第一側適於在與容器的腔部耦接時被設置在容器的腔部內。 In embodiments, the body of the product tray may include a boss and the applicator coupling mechanism may include a track that slidably engages the boss of the body. In some examples, the first side of the product tray is adapted to be disposed within the cavity of the container when coupled with the cavity of the container.

在一些形式中，至少一個腔部可以包括限制產品盤的平面運動的止動機構。在一些方法中，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。 In some forms, at least one cavity may include a stop mechanism that limits planar movement of the product tray. In some methods, the container may also define an applicator cavity adapted to retain at least a portion of the applicator.

在這些實施例的變型中，容器的至少一個腔部包括保持構件，保持構件將產品盤保持在腔部中。在這 些示例中的一些中，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 variations of these embodiments, at least one cavity of the container includes a retaining member that retains the product tray in the cavity. In some of these examples, the retaining member may be in the form of at least one of a magnetic member, a sidewall, or a protrusion.

在一些示例中，產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 product may be in the form of at least one of a lipstick, foundation, concealer, eye shadow, bronze makeup, eyebrow, solid serum, solid SPF product, skin care item, solid face cream, lipstick, applicator head, brush, solid blush, solid styling stick, dip sponge or carrier, or semi-solid skin care or makeup product.

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 may define a second cavity portion. The system may also include a second cosmetic product at least partially disposed on the second product tray. The second cosmetic product may have a visual characteristic that is different from the visual characteristic of the cosmetic product.

根據另一方面，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，第一端部包括塗抹器耦接機構。產品盤具有第一側、第二側和在第一側和第二側之間延伸的主體，主體限定凸台。產品盤的第二側可與塗抹器的第一端部相鄰定位。化妝品至少部分地被設置在產品盤的第一側上。產品盤通過凸台和塗抹器耦接機構之間的滑動接合與塗抹器可移除地耦接。 According to another aspect, a reusable product system includes an applicator, a product tray, and a cosmetic product. The applicator includes a first end including an applicator coupling mechanism. The product tray has a first side, a second side, and a body extending between the first side and the second side, the body defining a boss. The second side of the product disk can be positioned adjacent the first end of the applicator. The cosmetic product is at least partially disposed on the first side of the product tray. The product tray is removably coupled to the applicator via a sliding engagement between the boss and the applicator coupling mechanism.

轉到各圖，化妝品和/或護膚品取樣系統100包括化妝品和/或護膚品101、容器102、塗抹器120以及任何數量的產品盤140。雖然圖示的示例描繪了唇膏產品，但在其他示例中，產品101可以是任何數量或組合的不同的化妝品和/或護膚品。例如，產品101的形式可以是粉底、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、諸如海綿的塗抹器頭、刷子、固體腮紅、固體造型棒、能夠保持液體護膚 品或化妝品的浸漬海綿或載器、或半固體護膚品或化妝品。 Turning to the figures, a cosmetic and/or skin care product sampling system 100 includes a cosmetic and/or skin care product 101, a container 102, an applicator 120, and any number of product trays 140. Although the illustrated example depicts a lipstick product, in other examples, the product 101 can be any number or combination of different cosmetics and/or skin care products. For example, product 101 may be in the form of foundation, concealer, eye shadow, bronze makeup, eyebrows, solid serum, solid SPF product, skin care product, solid face cream, lipstick, applicator head such as sponge, brush, solid blush, solid styling stick, impregnated sponge or carrier capable of holding liquid skin care or makeup, or semi-solid skin care or makeup.

容器102包括具有內部腔部104a的底座104、蓋子106以及將蓋子106與底座104可旋轉地耦接的鉸接部105。在其他示例中(未顯示)，蓋子106可以通過任何數量的合適方法與底座104可操作地耦接，這些方法像是，例如，摩擦配合連接、螺紋連接、磁性連接、真空或吸力機構等。其他示例也是可能的。容器102可由任何數量的合適材料和/或材料組合構成，這些材料像是，例如，金屬、聚合物等。如圖1中所圖示的，容器102具有大致矩形稜柱形，儘管其他合適的示例(諸如圓柱形)也是可能的。 The container 102 includes a base 104 having an interior cavity 104a, a lid 106, and a hinge 105 that rotatably couples the lid 106 to the base 104. In other examples (not shown), the lid 106 can be operably coupled to the base 104 by any number of suitable methods, such as, for example, a friction fit connection, a threaded connection, a magnetic connection, a vacuum or suction mechanism, etc. Other examples are also possible. The container 102 can be constructed of any number of suitable materials and/or combinations of materials, such as, for example, metals, polymers, etc. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the container 102 has a generally rectangular prismatic shape, although other suitable examples (such as cylindrical shapes) are also possible.

容器102還包括分隔部或頂板108，分隔部或頂板108具有若干開口108a(例如，六個)，開口108a被定尺寸成接收對應數量的托盤110。分隔部108還可以包括塗抹器開口108b，塗抹器開口108b被定尺寸成接收塗抹器120。參照圖2和圖3，每個托盤110包括具有下表面111a和上表面111b的支撐凸台111、從支撐凸台111向下延伸的側壁112以及下表面113。支撐凸台111的下表面111a適於安置在分隔部108上(即可與分隔部108相鄰定位)，使得剩餘的側壁112和下表面113至少部分地設置在開口108a中(並因此進入底座104的內部腔部104a)。在一些示例中，支撐凸台111的下表面111a(以及因此托盤110)和分隔部108可以使用磁體、黏合劑、摩擦配合耦接等相互耦接。其他示例也是可能的。 The container 102 also includes a divider or top plate 108 having a plurality of openings 108a (e.g., six) sized to receive a corresponding number of trays 110. The divider 108 may also include an applicator opening 108b sized to receive an applicator 120. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3 , each tray 110 includes a support boss 111 having a lower surface 111a and an upper surface 111b, a side wall 112 extending downwardly from the support boss 111, and a lower surface 113. The lower surface 111a of the support boss 111 is adapted to be seated on (i.e., positioned adjacent to) the divider 108 such that the remaining sidewalls 112 and lower surface 113 are at least partially disposed within the opening 108a (and thus within the interior cavity 104a of the base 104). In some examples, the lower surface 111a of the support boss 111 (and thus the tray 110) and the divider 108 may be coupled to each other using magnets, adhesives, friction fit couplings, etc. Other examples are also possible.

托盤110的側壁112包括前部分112a和後部分112b。如圖4中所圖示的，側壁112和下表面113組合以限定腔部114，此腔部114被定尺寸成接收和/或保持產品盤140的至少一部分和/或設置在產品盤140上的化妝品101的量。在一些示例中，側壁112的前部分112a可以包括止動機構，以防止產品盤140在橫向方向上前進超過前部分112a。更具體地說，側壁112的前部分112a相對於下表面113成銳角，因此防止產品盤140從那裡向上滑動並離開腔部114。在其他示例中，這種止動機構可以呈摩擦接合、凹槽、凸片、突起等形式。其他示例也是可能的。在一些示例中，側壁112的後部分112b可以類似地包括保持構件，以防止產品盤140從其中向外移出。如圖3所圖示的，側壁112相對於下表面113具有彎曲的、成角度的表面。然而，在其他示例中，側壁112可以大致垂直於下表面113。 The side wall 112 of the tray 110 includes a front portion 112a and a rear portion 112b. As illustrated in FIG. 4 , sidewalls 112 and lower surface 113 combine to define a cavity 114 sized to receive and/or retain at least a portion of and/or be disposed on product tray 140 The amount of cosmetics 101. In some examples, the front portion 112a of the side wall 112 may include a stop mechanism to prevent the product tray 140 from advancing in a lateral direction beyond the front portion 112a. More specifically, the front portion 112a of the side wall 112 is at an acute angle relative to the lower surface 113, thereby preventing the product tray 140 from sliding upward and away from the cavity 114 therefrom. In other examples, such stop mechanisms may take the form of friction engagements, grooves, tabs, protrusions, or the like. Other examples are possible. In some examples, rear portion 112b of sidewall 112 may similarly include retaining members to prevent product tray 140 from being moved outwardly therefrom. As illustrated in FIG. 3 , sidewalls 112 have curved, angled surfaces relative to lower surface 113 . However, in other examples, sidewall 112 may be generally perpendicular to lower surface 113 .

參照圖5-圖11，塗抹器120包括帽121、塗抹器底座122和塗抹器管124。塗抹器底座122可用作使用者在塗抹所需的化妝品101時抓握的手柄，並包括開口123，以接收塗抹器管124的一部分。塗抹器管124包括第一端部124a、第二端部124b、在兩者之間延伸的主體125以及塗抹器耦接機構126。塗抹器主體125沿縱向軸線"A"延伸。在圖示的示例中，塗抹器管124在形狀上是大致圓柱形的，儘管其他構造也是可能的。在圖示的示例中，塗抹器管124的第一端部124a相對於縱向軸線A傾斜地成角度，儘管其他相對構造也是可能的。因此，在這種構造中，塗抹 器管124的第一端部124a限定了大致上平面的卵圓形表面。 5-11, the applicator 120 includes a cap 121, an applicator base 122, and an applicator tube 124. The applicator base 122 can be used as a handle for the user to grasp when applying the desired cosmetic 101, and includes an opening 123 to receive a portion of the applicator tube 124. The applicator tube 124 includes a first end 124a, a second end 124b, a body 125 extending therebetween, and an applicator coupling mechanism 126. The applicator body 125 extends along a longitudinal axis "A". In the illustrated example, the applicator tube 124 is generally cylindrical in shape, although other configurations are possible. In the illustrated example, the first end 124a of the applicator tube 124 is angled obliquely relative to the longitudinal axis A, although other relative configurations are possible. Thus, in this configuration, the first end 124a of the applicator tube 124 defines a substantially planar oval surface.

塗抹器管124的第二端部124b可***塗抹器底座122的開口123中，並可通過若干方法將其固定在那裡，這種方式像是，例如，螺紋連接、摩擦配合連接、突起以及對應的凹槽的使用等等。其他示例也是可能的。塗抹器管124的主體125包括凸緣區段125a，當塗抹器管124的第二端部124b***開口123中時，此凸緣區段125a適於與塗抹器底座122鄰接。 The second end 124b of the applicator tube 124 can be inserted into the opening 123 of the applicator base 122 and can be fixed there by several methods, such as, for example, threaded connection, friction fit connection, use of protrusions and corresponding grooves, etc. Other examples are also possible. The main body 125 of the applicator tube 124 includes a flange section 125a, which is suitable for abutting the applicator base 122 when the second end 124b of the applicator tube 124 is inserted into the opening 123.

塗抹器耦接機構126定位在塗抹器管124的第一端部124a處。塗抹器耦接機構126呈凸起的軌道的形式，此軌道從塗抹器管124的第一端部124a向外延伸並圍繞其週邊邊緣。更具體地說，塗抹器耦接機構126包括與塗抹器管124的第一端部124a的大致平面表面相鄰定位的第一端部126a和在塗抹器管124的第一端部124a遠端定位的第二端部126b。內側壁128設置在第一端部126a和第二端部126b之間。第二端部126b由大致平面表面限定，此大致平面表面與由塗抹器管124的第一端部124a所限定的大致平面表面平行。塗抹器耦接機構126還包括止動表面129。如圖7和圖8所見的，塗抹器耦接機構126具有漸縮截面形狀，其中，塗抹器耦接機構的第二端部126b具有比第一端部126a更大的寬度尺寸。換句話說，塗抹器耦接機構126的軌道在截面形狀上是大致梯形的。其他截面形狀也是可能的。 The applicator coupling mechanism 126 is positioned at the first end 124a of the applicator tube 124. The applicator coupling mechanism 126 is in the form of a raised track that extends outwardly from the first end 124a of the applicator tube 124 and around its peripheral edge. More specifically, the applicator coupling mechanism 126 includes a first end 126a positioned adjacent to a generally planar surface of the first end 124a of the applicator tube 124 and a second end 126b positioned distally from the first end 124a of the applicator tube 124. An inner side wall 128 is disposed between the first end 126a and the second end 126b. The second end 126b is defined by a generally planar surface that is parallel to the generally planar surface defined by the first end 124a of the applicator tube 124. The applicator coupling mechanism 126 also includes a stop surface 129. As seen in FIGS. 7 and 8, the applicator coupling mechanism 126 has a tapered cross-sectional shape, wherein the second end 126b of the applicator coupling mechanism has a larger width dimension than the first end 126a. In other words, the track of the applicator coupling mechanism 126 is generally trapezoidal in cross-sectional shape. Other cross-sectional shapes are also possible.

在一些方法中，塗抹器耦接機構126可以與塗抹器管124整體形成。然而，在其他示例中，塗抹器耦接機構126可以與塗抹器管124可釋放地固定。 In some approaches, applicator coupling mechanism 126 may be integrally formed with applicator tube 124 . However, in other examples, applicator coupling mechanism 126 may be releasably secured with applicator tube 124 .

轉到圖12-圖17，產品盤140呈主體的形式，此主體具有第一側或下側140a、第二側或上側140b、前部分140c和後部分140d。通孔142延伸穿過產品盤140。在圖示的示例中，第一側140a和第二側140b中的每一個都是大致平面的，並且彼此大致平行。然而，其他佈置也是可能的。產品盤140的第一側140a包括產品接收表面144和圍繞產品接收表面144的週邊定位的凸起外邊緣145。簡要參考圖4和圖18，產品接收表面144被定尺寸成在其上接收產品101的樣品量。例如，產品接收表面144可以容納足以滿足大約兩次到大約十次之間的塗抹的唇膏量。合適量的其他示例也是可能的。在圖示的示例中，產品101從產品接收表面144向外突出，並形成卵圓形，但根據所需的塗抹風格和/或造型，其他佈置也是可能的。 Turning to Figures 12-17, the product tray 140 is in the form of a body having a first side or lower side 140a, a second side or upper side 140b, a front portion 140c and a rear portion 140d. A through hole 142 extends through the product tray 140. In the illustrated example, each of the first side 140a and the second side 140b is generally planar and generally parallel to each other. However, other arrangements are also possible. The first side 140a of the product tray 140 includes a product receiving surface 144 and a raised outer edge 145 positioned around the periphery of the product receiving surface 144. With brief reference to Figures 4 and 18, the product receiving surface 144 is sized to receive a sample amount of the product 101 thereon. For example, the product receiving surface 144 can hold an amount of lipstick sufficient to satisfy between about two and about ten applications. Other examples of suitable amounts are possible. In the illustrated example, the product 101 protrudes outwardly from the product receiving surface 144 and forms an oval shape, but other arrangements are possible depending on the desired application style and/or styling.

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/或部分定位在此腔部114內。更具體地說，在一些佈置中，凸起外邊緣145的週邊可被定尺寸成小於托盤的由側壁112限定的腔部114的週邊尺寸。因此，產品盤140的主體的至少一部分可以在托盤110的腔部114內可定位和/或可嵌套。產品盤140的前部分140c可以抵靠和/或鄰近側壁112的前部分112a定位，並且產品盤140的後部分140d可以抵靠和/或鄰近側壁112的後部分 112b定位。 The product tray 140 is dimensioned so that it can be positioned adjacent to and/or partially within the cavity 114 of the tray 110. More specifically, in some arrangements, the perimeter of the raised outer edge 145 can be dimensioned to be smaller than the perimeter dimension of the cavity 114 of the tray defined by the sidewall 112. Thus, at least a portion of the body of the product tray 140 can be positionable and/or nestable within the cavity 114 of the tray 110. The front portion 140c of the product tray 140 can be positioned adjacent to and/or adjacent to the front portion 112a of the sidewall 112, and the rear portion 140d of the product tray 140 can be positioned adjacent to and/or adjacent to the rear portion 112b of the sidewall 112.

在一些示例中，側壁112的漸縮構造可用作物理限制，其防止產品盤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，其大小足以保持產品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，產品盤140的第二側140b可與支撐凸台111的上表面111b相鄰定位和/或可從支撐凸台111的上表面111b向上延伸。 In some examples, the tapered configuration of sidewalls 112 may serve as a physical restriction that prevents product tray 140 from being positioned further into cavity 114 of tray 110. Thus, when product tray 140 is at least partially positioned within cavity 114, a space or gap may be formed between product receiving surface 144 of product tray 140 and lower surface 113 of tray 110 that is large enough to retain product 101. Thus, product 101 may be safely positioned within cavity 114 without being damaged by sidewalls 112 and/or lower surface 113 of tray 110. In such an arrangement, the second side 140b of the product tray 140 may be positioned adjacent to the upper surface 111b of the supporting boss 111 and/or may extend upward from the upper surface 111b of the supporting boss 111.

如圖4中所圖示的，通孔142允許產品101的一部分被設置成從其穿過，並且/或者替代地可以作為窗或視覺指示器操作，此視窗或視覺指示器允許使用者確定當產品盤140定位在托盤110的腔部114內時設置在產品盤140的產品接收表面144上的產品101的外觀(例如，色度、顏色和/或其他視覺特徵)。 As illustrated in Figure 4, through-hole 142 allows a portion of product 101 to be disposed therethrough, and/or may alternatively operate as a window or visual indicator that allows a user to determine when The appearance (eg, chroma, color, and/or other visual characteristics) of the product 101 disposed on the product receiving surface 144 of the product tray 140 when the product tray 140 is positioned within the cavity 114 of the tray 110 .

產品盤140的第二側140b具有大致平面表面，並包括盤耦接機構146。大致來說，盤耦接機構146適於選擇性地接合塗抹器管124的塗抹器耦接機構126。盤耦接機構146呈凸起平台或凸台的形式，具有漸縮外側壁148和止動表面149。如圖4和圖15中所圖示的，盤耦接機構146的上端部146a比其下端部146b具有更寬的尺寸。這種佈置與塗抹器管124的塗抹器耦接機構126的佈置相反。因此，如圖18和圖19中所圖示的，塗抹器120可通過將塗抹 器耦接機構126定位在盤耦接機構146附近，並將軌道向凸起平台或凸台滑動，從而可滑動地接合產品盤140。塗抹器耦接機構126的內側壁128將被可滑動地定位抵靠在盤耦接機構146的漸縮外側壁148上，使得防止產品盤140在縱向軸線A上移動。相反，產品盤140的第二側140b的大致平面表面可以沿著塗抹器管124的第一端部124a的大致平面表面滑動。 The second side 140b of the product tray 140 has a generally planar surface and includes a tray coupling mechanism 146 . Generally speaking, the disc coupling mechanism 146 is adapted to selectively engage the applicator coupling mechanism 126 of the applicator tube 124 . The disc coupling mechanism 146 is in the form of a raised platform or boss having a tapered outer side wall 148 and a stop surface 149 . As illustrated in Figures 4 and 15, the upper end 146a of the disk coupling mechanism 146 has wider dimensions than its lower end 146b. This arrangement is opposite to that of the applicator coupling mechanism 126 of the applicator tube 124 . Therefore, as illustrated in Figures 18 and 19, applicator 120 can apply The container coupling mechanism 126 is positioned adjacent the tray coupling mechanism 146 and slides the track toward a raised platform or boss to slidably engage the product tray 140. The inner side wall 128 of the applicator coupling mechanism 126 will be slidably positioned against the tapered outer side wall 148 of the disk coupling mechanism 146 such that movement of the product disk 140 in the longitudinal axis A is prevented. Instead, the generally planar surface of the second side 140b of the product disk 140 may slide along the generally planar surface of the first end 124a of the applicator tube 124.

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。這些盤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來確定他們希望塗抹哪個產品101樣品。 In operation, any number of product trays 140 may be removably held within individual cavities 114 of the tray 110 , which in turn is disposed within respective openings 108 a of the dividers 108 disposed in the base 104 inside the internal cavity 104a. Each of these palettes 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) 101 samples. The user can determine which product 101 sample they wish to apply by viewing the product 101 through the aperture 142 of the product tray 140 .

在選擇所需的產品101後，使用者可將塗抹器管124的第一端部124a定位在產品盤140的後部分140d附近，並可將塗抹器120以平行於支撐凸台的上表面111b的大致平面方向朝產品盤140的前部分140c移動。結果，塗抹器耦接機構126(即內側壁128)與盤耦接機構146(即漸縮外側壁148)接合。當塗抹器管124和產品盤140完全對準時，塗抹器耦接機構126的止動表面129可與盤耦接機構146的止動表面149鄰接，在完全對準時，繼續將塗抹器管124推向產品盤140的前部分140c可導致產品盤140的前部 分140c接觸前部分112a(以及可選地，設置在其上的任何止動機構)，這可限制或停止產品盤140在橫向方向上的運動。然後，使用者可以將塗抹器120從托盤110上提起，這將進而導致產品盤140從其移除。然後，使用者可以根據需要塗抹產品101的樣品。 After selecting the desired product 101, the user can position the first end 124a of the applicator tube 124 near the rear portion 140d of the product tray 140 and move the applicator 120 in a generally planar direction parallel to the upper surface 111b of the support boss toward the front portion 140c of the product tray 140. As a result, the applicator coupling mechanism 126 (i.e., the inner side wall 128) engages with the tray coupling mechanism 146 (i.e., the tapered outer side wall 148). When the applicator tube 124 and the product tray 140 are fully aligned, the stop surface 129 of the applicator coupling mechanism 126 may abut the stop surface 149 of the tray coupling mechanism 146, and when fully aligned, continuing to push the applicator tube 124 toward the front portion 140c of the product tray 140 may cause the front portion 140c of the product tray 140 to contact the front portion 112a (and optionally, any stop mechanism disposed thereon), which may limit or stop the movement of the product tray 140 in a lateral direction. The user may then lift the applicator 120 from the tray 110, which in turn may cause the product tray 140 to be removed therefrom. The user may then apply a sample of the product 101 as desired.

在一些示例中，當產品盤140與塗抹器120完全耦接時，可以接合保持機構，其固定產品盤140和塗抹器120。例如，止動表面129、149中的任何一個或兩個都可以包括磁性構件，此磁性構件朝向塗抹器120推動產品盤140。在其他示例中，可以使用替代的或額外的固定機構，諸如棘爪、捕捉器、凸片或其他突起。在這些示例中的任何一個中，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。 In some examples, when product disk 140 and applicator 120 are fully coupled, a retaining mechanism may be engaged that secures product disk 140 and applicator 120 . For example, either or both stop surfaces 129 , 149 may include magnetic members that urge product disk 140 toward applicator 120 . In other examples, alternative or additional securing mechanisms may be used, such as detents, catches, tabs, or other protrusions. In any of these examples, the engagement between applicator 120 and product tray 140 may produce tactile feedback to alert the user that applicator 120 and product tray 140 are fully coupled together.

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。 In some examples, the user may place cap 121 on applicator base 122 while product tray 140 is coupled to applicator 120 .

產品盤140可以通過如下操作來從塗抹器120脫離接合：將第一側140a定位在托盤110的腔部114內，並以平行於支撐凸台111的上表面111b的大致平面方向遠離產品盤140移動塗抹器120(並且，在提供保持機構的示例中，以足夠的力克服由此產生的任何保持力)。這種運動可導致產品盤140的後部分140d與托盤110的側壁112的後部分112b接觸，這可起到將產品盤140保持在腔部114內的作用，儘管塗抹器120繼續遠離腔部114運動。在一些示例 中，後部分112b可以包括磁體，此磁體說明將產品盤140保持在腔部114內。 Product tray 140 may be disengaged from applicator 120 by positioning first side 140a within cavity 114 of tray 110 and away from product tray 140 in a generally planar direction parallel to upper surface 111b of support boss 111 The applicator 120 is moved (and, in examples where a retaining mechanism is provided, with sufficient force to overcome any retaining force resulting therefrom). This movement may cause the rear portion 140d of the product tray 140 to contact the rear portion 112b of the sidewall 112 of the tray 110 , which may act to retain the product tray 140 within the cavity 114 even as the applicator 120 continues to move away from the cavity 114 sports. In some examples The rear portion 112b may include magnets that retain the product tray 140 within the cavity 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可以包括腔部(未圖示)，此腔部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可以從塗抹器底座122中移除，並且替換的塗抹器(未圖示)可以被***塗抹器底座122中，其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 disk 140 from the applicator 120, the user may engage a different product disk 140 with the applicator to apply the desired product 101, or may return the applicator to the applicator as desired. Cavity 116. So constructed, a user can quickly and selectively sample any number of different cosmetic and/or skin care products 101 to determine the desired product for subsequent purchase. In some examples, applicator tube 124 may include a cavity (not shown) sized to accommodate a full-sized amount of product 101 to allow use of the same applicator for sampling different products 101 120. In such examples, applicator tube 124 may include an advance/reverse mechanism. In other examples, when the user determines which full-size product they wish to purchase, the applicator tube 124 can be removed from the applicator base 122 and a replacement applicator (not shown) can be inserted into the applicator base 122 , which includes full-size quantities of product 101. In some examples, the product tray 140 may be reused and/or recycled when returned to the manufacturer, potentially reducing overall parts and manufacturing costs.

將理解的是，可以對系統100進行任何數量的修改。例如，塗抹器耦接機構126和盤耦接機構146中的每一個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。 It will be appreciated that any number of modifications may be made to the system 100. For example, each of the applicator coupling mechanism 126 and the tray coupling mechanism 146 may have a reverse configuration whereby the applicator is inserted into a portion of the product tray. Other arrangements are also possible.
