Abstract

The invention relates to an article which comprises a bottle of cosmetic product and a pack. The pack includes at least one wall having at least one region in relief suggesting, or even reproducing, a bottle shape so as to immobilize it with respect to the wall. The invention also relates to a pack for a bottle of cosmetic product and a method for removing a bottle of cosmetic product from a case.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An article, comprising:
a bottle of cosmetic product, the bottle including at least a reservoir and a cap and
a U-shaped pack including two opposite walls connected via a core, each of the two opposite walls including at least one region in relief configured to encase at least a portion of the reservoir and the cap at opposite sides of the bottle;
wherein at least one other side of the pack that does not include one of the two opposite walls is open.

2. The article according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one region in relief forms at least one boss extending from one end edge of the at least one region to another end edge of the at least one region.

3. The article according to claim 2 , wherein a shape of the at least one boss comprises a shape of the reservoir.

4. The article according to claim 2 , wherein a shape of the at least one boss comprises a shape of the cap.

5. The article according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one of the two opposite walls comprises a free end having at least two outer and inner thicknesses, the outer thickness comprising the at least one region in relief and the inner thickness comprising a cutout reproducing a section of the cap, the at least one region in relief and the cutout being configured to encase the cap.

6. The article according to claim 1 , wherein the bottle is visible on at least two opposite sides of the pack.

7. The article according to claim 1 , wherein the bottle comprises a bottom and the pack comprises a damping region in contact with at least one part of the bottom and configured to protect the bottom of the bottle against impact, the damping region being carried by a tab.

8. The article of claim 7 , wherein the tab is formed by folding.

9. The article according to claim 1 , wherein the pack includes two layers of long-fiber cardboard separated by corrugated cardboard.

10. The article of claim 9 , wherein the corrugated cardboard includes short fibers.

11. The article of claim 1 , wherein:
the bottle further includes a neck between the reservoir and the cap; and
the two opposite walls further include at least one region in relief configured to encase at least a portion of the neck at the opposite sides of the bottle.

12. The article of claim 1 , further comprising a case configured to hold the bottle and the pack;
wherein the bottle is configured to be removed from the pack without the pack being completely removed from the case.

13. The article according to claim 1 , wherein an inherent elasticity of the pack material is such that when the pack is placed on a horizontal surface, the two opposite walls form an angle of at least 30°.

14. A pack for a bottle of cosmetic product, the bottle including a reservoir and a cap, the pack being U-shaped and comprising two opposite walls connected via a core, each of the two opposite walls including at least one region in relief configured to encase at least a portion of the reservoir and the cap;
wherein at least one other side of the pack that does not include one of the two opposite walls is open.

15. The pack of claim 14 , wherein the two opposite walls further include at least one region in relief configured to encase at least a portion of a neck of the bottle at the opposite sides of the bottle.

16. A method for removing a bottle of cosmetic product from a case including a pack, the bottle including a reservoir and a cap, the method comprising:
grasping the bottle, by the cap of the bottle, without opening the pack, the pack being a U-shaped pack and including two opposite walls connected via a core, each of the two opposite walls including at least one region in relief configured to encase at least a portion of the reservoir and the cap; and
