  • the release button 30 has a height approximately matching the height of the inner wall 32 of the base structure 12 so that, when the base insert 14 is fully inserted into the base structure 12 in an engaged position, a substantially continuous surface is presented by the floor 35 and the button surface of the release button 30.
  • a sidewall 36 of the product base insert 14 projects longitudinally from an outer portion of the floor 34 of the insert 14 in a direction opposite to that in which the release button 30 projects.

  • the converging surfaces 60 can slope from being disposed along a circular shape with a circumference greater than a circumference of a circular shape along which the outwardly facing surfaces of the catch members 40 are disposed when in a non-deflected configuration to being disposed along a circular shape with a circumference less than the circumference of the circular shape along which the outwardly facing surfaces of the catch members 40 are disposed when the catch members 40 are in a non-deflected configuration.
  • the catch members 40 are thus deflected inwardly from their non-deflected, disengaged position to an inwardly-deflected, engaged position.
  • the catch members 40 are operative to engage and retain a cosmetic pan 16.
  • the catch members 40 are inwardly deflected to be disposed along a shape, in this case a circular shape, wherein the retaining formations 56 of the catch members 40 mechanically engage the product pan 16.

While such snap-fit latching mechanisms could vary within the scope of the invention, the ridges 46 of the product base insert 14 in this construction are retained by latch members 48 that depend longitudinally from the rim 38, and the ridges 50 of the base structure 12 project inwardly from within grooves 52 in the outer wall 54 of the base structure 12.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un boîtier pour produit cosmétique rechargeable (10) avec un insert de base de produit (14) repositionnable par rapport à une structure de base (12) entre une configuration associée et une configuration séparée. Une ouverture d'actionnement à travers la structure de base (12) permet une pression d'un bouton de libération (30) de l'insert de base de produit (14) pour amener l'insert de base de produit (14) de la configuration associée à la configuration séparée. Des éléments d'encliquetage élastiquement déformables (40) font saillie longitudinalement depuis l'une ou l'autre de la structure de base (12) et de l'insert de base de produit (14). Des surfaces de déviation convergentes viennent en prise avec les éléments d'encliquetage (40) lorsque l'insert de base de produit (14) est repositionné de la configuration séparée à la configuration associée pour dévier les éléments d'encliquetage (40) latéralement vers l'intérieur pour retenir un récipient cosmétique (16) et pour permettre une déviation des éléments de capture (40) latéralement vers l'extérieur lorsque l'insert de base de produit (14) est repositionné de la configuration associée à la configuration séparée pour libérer ou recevoir un plateau de produit cosmétique (16).
