Abstract

A cosmetic product, in particular a powdery cosmetic product, includesa lid that is mounted rotationally mobile with respect to a base between at least one closed position and one open position of the case,first locking mechanism to lock the lid in a closed position,a dispensing device arranged between the lid and the base, and that is mounted rotationally mobile between at least one lowered position and one raised position, the dispensing device including a control member intended to be actuated to command the dispensing of the cosmetic product, andsecond locking mechanism to lock the dispensing device in the lowered positionThe control member of the dispensing device is configured to command the unlocking of the first locking mechanism of the lid and the unlocking of the second locking mechanism of the dispensing device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A case for a cosmetic product, in particular a powdery cosmetic product, comprising:
a lid that is mounted rotationally mobile with respect to a base between at least one closed position and one open position of the case,
first locking means to lock the lid in a closed position,
a dispensing device which, arranged between the lid and the base, is mounted rotationally mobile with respect to the base between at least one lowered position and one raised position, said dispensing device comprising a control member configured for actuation to command a dispensing of the cosmetic product,
second locking means to lock said dispensing device in the lowered position, wherein said control member of the dispensing device is configured to command the unlocking of the first locking means of the lid and the unlocking of the second locking means of the dispensing device.

2. The case according to claim 1 , wherein the dispensing device comprises a reservoir intended to contain a cosmetic product.

3. The case according to claim 1 , wherein the base contains a cavity intended to receive the cosmetic product dispensed by said dispensing device.

4. The case according to claim 1 , wherein the dispensing device is configured to selectively dispense a determined dose of cosmetic product.

5. The case according to claim 1 , wherein the lid is mounted rotationally mobile with respect to the base by way of first articulation means and the dispensing device is mounted rotationally mobile with respect to the base by way of second articulation means, said first articulation means and second articulation means having the same axis of rotation.

6. The case according to claim 1 , wherein the dispensing device comprises:
a bucket delimiting at least partially said reservoir and intended to contain said cosmetic product, which is closed by a cap, said bucket comprising a supply network formed by orifices in communication with the reservoir,
a sieve comprising a dispensing network formed by orifices in communication with a cavity that the base comprises, said orifices of the sieve being offset with respect to the orifices of the bucket so as to prevent a direct flow of the cosmetic product from the reservoir to said cavity that the base comprises, and
a dosage plate which, secured to said control member, comprises a dosage network formed by through-orifices, said dosage plate being arranged between the bucket and the sieve and mounted mobile in translation between at least:
a dosage position wherein the orifices of the dosage network of the plate are aligned with the orifices of the supply network of the bucket to receive a dose of cosmetic product from the reservoir and
a dispensing position wherein the orifices of the dosage network of the plate are aligned with the orifices of the dispensing network to dispense said dose of cosmetic product into the cavity.

7. The case according to claim 6 , wherein the dispensing device comprises translational guide means of the dosage plate.

8. The case according to claim 6 , wherein the dosage plate is commanded to move from a dosage position towards a dispensing position by actuating said control member.

9. The case according to claim 6 , wherein the dosage plate is automatically returned to the dosage position by the elastic return means.

10. The case according to claim 9 , wherein the first locking means and the second locking means are commanded from a locked position to an unlocked position by actuating said control member and in that the first locking means and the second locking means are automatically returned to said locked position by the elastic return means of the dosage plate.

11. The case according to claim 1 , wherein the first locking means and/or the second locking means are configured to automatically lock when the case is closed by handling, without having to manually actuate the control member.

12. The case according to claim 6 , wherein the cap comprises a housing configured to receive, at least partially, an applicator of said cosmetic product.

13. The case according to claim 6 , wherein the cap comprises at least one transparent zone so as to make it possible to visually inspect, through said zone, the quantity of cosmetic product present in the reservoir of the dispensing device.

14. The case according to claim 1 , wherein the dispensing device is configured such that the application of a first unlocking force on said control member, causes an unlocking of the first locking means and an unlocking of the second locking means and the application on said control member of a second dispensing force greater than said first unlocking force causes the dispensing of the cosmetic product.

15. The case according to claim 14 , wherein the application of the first unlocking force on said control member simultaneously causes the unlocking of the first locking means and of the second locking means.
