Definitions

  • SUBSTITUTESHEET This invention relates to a cartridge for dispensing samplers of cosmetics such as rouge, blush, lipstick, eye liner, eye shadow, mascara, face powder and fragrance. It also relates to a display case holding a plurality of such cartridges together with corresponding products and identifying indicia. It is known in the art to dispense samplers as a continuous roll segmented for tear-off into discreet small packages. Such samplers, while a great improvement for sanitary purposes, have proven cumbersome and frequently over feed a plurality of packages or become unravelled and disorderly. Consequently, it is an object of the invention to provide a novel sampler and a cartridge for dispensing individual stacked samplers one by one.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a cassette adaptable for use with samplers currently on the market. It is another object of the invention to provide a novel sampler, particularly usable in my novel dispenser.
  • the present invention comprises a cartridge to contain a stack of samplers for delivery one at a time through a dispensing slot located near the top or bottom of the stack. It is a further object of the invention to provide a display case in which a plurality of such cartridges or stacked samplers may be placed in close proximity to identifying indicia and actual merchandise offered for purchase.
  • SUBSTITUTE SHEET Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide a cassette such as described above, which may be readily ganged in a display case to permit the user to observe a number of samplers before making her initial selection(s).
  • Still another object is to provide a transparent top on the cassettes or compartments through which the sampler may be observed prior to withdrawal by the prospective customer.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a cartridge showing in dotted lines, a partially withdrawn sampler.
  • SUBSTITUTE SHEET Fig. 2 is an exploded isometric view of a cartridge and samplers.
  • Fig. 3 is a sectional side elevation of a cartridge and samplers.
  • Fig. 4 is taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3.
  • Fig. 5 is an isometric view of a display case containing a number of cartridges.
  • Fig. 6 is taken on the line 6-6 of Fig. 5.
  • Fig. 7 is an isometric view of another embodiment of the invention.
  • Fig. 8 is a sectional elevation in line 8-8 of Fig. 7.
  • Fig. 9 is a plan view of a sampler.
  • Fig. 10 is a sectional elevation taken on the line 10-10 of Fig. 7.
  • Fig. 11 is an isometric of still another embodiment of the invention.
  • SUB S T ITU TESHEET Fig. 12 is a sectional elevation taken on the line 12-12 of Fig. 11.
  • Fig. 13 is a fragmentary plan view of a portion of the biasing element shown in the embodiment of Figs. 11 and 12.
  • top 22 in which is formed a finger slot 24 for ejecting a single sampler 26.
  • Top 22 in a preferred embodiment, is transparent and may be welded or secured by adhesive to the top of the four walls 38, 39, 50, and 52. This permits viewing the top sampler.
  • Each sampler 26, Figs. 9 and 10 has a base portion 28 having formed therein a depression 30 in which a sample of the cosmetic 32 may be placed.
  • the cosmetic indicated at 32 may be a small portion of rouge, blush, lipstick or powder, or it may be a pad of absorbent material containing a fragrance.
  • the base portion is elongated and is preferably roughened in the area 31 •
  • Cover slip 34 overlies the cavity 30 and is releasably secured as by adhesive or other means to the base plate 28.

  • the bottom 36 is slidably secured in the side-walls 38, 39 by insertion in grooves 42, 44.
  • a stack 29 of samplers 26 may be placed in the cartridge followed by the pusher 46.
  • a spring 48 serves as a biasing member against the pusher 46. Spring 48 is compressed and bottom 36 reinserted in grooves 42, 44. The spring and pusher then urge the stack 29 of samplers 26 toward the top 22 of cartridge 20.
  • the top of the front wall 50 has a cutaway 51 forming a slot 53 to permit the top sampler 26 to slide out of the cartridge 20 by frictional engagement of portion 31 with the finger of a prospective purchaser inserted in the cover slot 24.
  • the pusher 46 has a slot 25 formed at one end to engage a post or guide 27 located at the wall 52 of the cassette.
  • the sampler has a similar slot 23 to receive the guide 27. This structure tends to stabilize both the pusher and the samplers as they slide upwardly without engaging or with minimal engagement of the side-walls 38, 39 of the cassette.

  • the display case 58 is open at the top.
  • Cassettes 20 may be placed in side by side relationship in case 58.
  • separators (not shown) may be used to separate the cassettes if desired.
  • Mounted behind either case 58 or case 54 are bins generally indicated at 63 in Fig. 7 only in which products as, for example, compacts, containers of fragrance or lipsticks, may be placed.
  • the angled panel 65 may be positioned to carry identifying indicia for each of the samples in the cassettes 20 and the corresponding adjacent product bin 63. It is understood that the bias 63. It is understood that the bias 63 and indicia panel 65 may be employed with the case 58 shown in Fig. 5 or case 70, shown in Figs. 11 and 12.
  • SUBSTITUTE SHEET No particular product dispensing bin forms a part of this novel combination of sampler cassettes, product bins and display case.
  • the case 58 with the cassettes 20 therein are adaptable to being secured to and used in combination with bins or product dispensing devices on the market as, for example, devices such as shown in U.S. patents 3,957,174, 2,893,596 and 4,515,290 or my co-pending application POP-4 filed , Serial No.
  • a display case 54 is formed of sidewalls 56, front and rearwalls 60, 61 and a top 52.
  • Case 54 is divided by spaced partitions 62 having a plurality of chambers.
  • Top 52 has formed into it slots 24a which function as the slot 24 described above and the front wall 60 has a cutaway 51a corresponding in function to cutaway 51 to form a slot 53a corresponding to slot 53, described above with respect to the cartridge 20.
