Cosmetic device having leaktight compartments

Abstract

The present invention relates to a device (1) for packaging and applying at least one cosmetic product, comprising: a container (2) delimiting at least two compartments (11, 12), a closure cap (3) for closing the container (2), designed to close each compartment (11, 12) in a leaktight manner.

Claims

1. A device for packaging and applying at least one cosmetic product, the device comprising: a container comprising: a threaded neck; an external compartment; and an internal compartment disposed within the external compartment; a closure cap configured to mate with the container and seal each of the internal and external compartments in a leaktight manner, such that the closure cap prevents mixing of contents of the internal and external compartments, and prevents the contents from escaping from the internal and external compartments when the container is turned over, the closure cap comprising: a first annular lip configured to seal the external container; a second annular lip configured to seal the internal container; and a mounting skirt configured to mate with the threaded neck; and an applicator configured to be housed in the internal compartment, wherein the threaded neck is configured to be disposed between the first annular lip and the mounting skirt, when the closure cap is mated with the container.

2. The device according to claim 1, wherein the container is in one piece.

3. The device according to claim 1, wherein the applicator extends from the closure cap and is configured to pick up a cosmetic product from the external container.

4. The device according to claim 1, wherein the internal and external compartments have coincident longitudinal axes.

5. The device according to claim 1, further comprising a cosmetic product in the form of a paste, gel, or powder housed in the external compartment.

6. The device according to claim 1, wherein the closure cap comprises a protruding handle.

7. The device according to claim 1, wherein the container comprises at least one transparent wall.

8. The device according to claim 1, further comprising a cosmetic product chosen from a makeup product, foundation, blusher, eyeshadow, lipstick, lip gloss, or lip balm.

9. A cosmetic process comprising: applying a makeup or care product with the aid of a device; wherein the device comprises: a container comprising: a threaded neck; an external compartment; and an internal compartment disposed within the external compartment; a closure cap configured to mate with the container and close the internal and external compartments in a leaktight manner, such that the closure cap prevents mixing of contents of the internal and external compartments, and prevents the contents from escaping from the internal and external compartments when the container is turned over, the closure cap comprising: a first annular lip configured to seal the external container; a second annular lip configured to seal the internal container; and a mounting skirt configured to mate with the threaded neck; and an applicator configured to be housed in the internal compartment, wherein the threaded neck is configured to be disposed between the first annular lip and the mounting skirt, when the closure cap is mated with the container.

Description

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

(1) The invention may be better understood from reading the following detailed description of nonlimiting illustrative embodiments thereof and from examining the appended, schematic and partial drawing, in which:

(2) FIG. 1 shows a front view of a packaging and application device produced in accordance with the invention,

(3) FIG. 2 is a top view of the cap of the device from FIG. 1,

(4) FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the cap in FIG. 2,

(5) FIG. 4 is a section AA from FIG. 1,

(6) FIG. 5 is a section BB from FIG. 4,

(7) FIG. 6 shows the detail C from FIG. 4,

(8) FIG. 7 shows the detail D from FIG. 4,

(9) FIG. 8 is an exploded view of the device from FIG. 1,

(10) FIG. 9 is an oblique exploded view of the device from FIG. 1.

(11) FIGS. 1 to 9 show a device 1 of longitudinal axis X, produced in accordance with the invention, which comprises a container 2, a closure cap 3 and an applicator 4 which serves to pick up and apply the product.

(12) The container 2 comprises an external wall 67 with a substantially cylindrical shape. The height H of the device is 61.7 mm. The diameter D of the pot is 36.1 mm.

(13) The container 2 is advantageously produced in one piece by molding thermoplastic material, for example a thermoplastic material chosen from polyolefins, polyamides, polyacetals, PET, and polystyrenes.

(14) The closure cap 3 is for example screwed onto a threaded neck 5 of the container 2, but the closure cap 3 can be fixed on the container in various other ways, for example by snap-fastening, friction or a bayonet-type fastener.

(15) The closure cap 3 can comprise a mounting skirt 7 that can be fixed to the neck 5 of the container in various ways, for example by screwing, as illustrated.

(16) The closure cap 3 can be produced in one piece by molding thermoplastic material.

(17) The container 2 can have a transparent wall that allows the user to see the color of the product for example.

(18) The container 2 delimits two compartments: an internal compartment 12 for housing the applicator 4, and an external compartment 11 for housing the product.

(19) The cosmetic product may have been cast and/or compacted in the compartment 12.

(20) The leaktightness of the closure of each compartment is ensured by a sealing lip: the annular lip 53 ensures the leaktightness between the external compartment 11 and the outside of the device 1, the annular lip 54 ensures the leaktightness between the compartments 11 and 12.

(21) The annular lip 53 surrounds the mounting skirt 7 and defines an annular groove 126 therewith.

(22) The compartment 12 is delimited inside the container 2 by a cylindrical wall 65 of axis X that is closed at its lower end by the bottom wall 66 of the container.

(23) In the closed position of the cap 3: the applicator 4 comes into contact with the annular lip 54 and the cylindrical wall 65, the neck 5 of the container 2 comes into contact with the annular lip 53 and the external wall 67 of the container 2. In order to use the device 1, the user can separate the closure cap 3 from the container 2, and then separate the applicator 4 from the compartment 12. They can use the applicator 4 to pick up the product from the compartment 11 and apply it to the skin or the lips. They can then insert the applicator into the compartment 12 and close the device 1 again by replacing the closure cap 3 on the container 2.

(24) The invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments that have just been described.

(25) Provision can be made in particular of nonconcentric compartments or compartments that have other shapes in cross section.

(26) Other applicators can be provided. The mirror can be fixed to the cap.

(27) The expression comprising a is synonymous with comprising at least one.
