Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the packaging of cosmetic (make-up) containers for blush, eye shadow, lipstick, compacts and the like and more particularly to a specific technique for supporting the containers on a display rack, shelf, peg or the like.
  • the present invention utilizes a support tab in combination with the cosmetic container to be packaged.
  • the support tab has a sheet-like main body which includes a cutout configured to accommodate the container.
  • the container is disposed within the cutout such that at least one edge section of the tab body along the cutout is interlocked with the container to maintain the latter in place.
  • the interlocking takes place in an inlet in the container, preferably formed between two mutually movable parts of the container. Then, placing the two parts in one relative configuration locks the container into the tab with portions of it projecting respectively beyond respective faces of the tab, while in another relative configuration the locking is released and the container may be removed from the cutout.
  • the container includes a main section defining a compartment adapted to house a cosmetic therein, for example the blush, eye shadow or the like recited above, and a lid which cooperates with the main section for opening and closing the compartment.
  • This container with its lid closed is supported within the cutout such that confronting edge sections of the tab body along opposite edges of the cutout extend into and between the container's main section and closed lid.
  • This combination container and tab may be supported to a hook or peg forming part of a display rack or shelf utilizing a cooperating through-hole which may be readily provided in the tab just above its cutout. In this way, the tab alone serves as-a package and a support for its associated cosmetic container in an economical-and uncomplicated way while, at the same time, placing most of the container in direct view, e.g. uncovered, for visual inspection by potential customers.
  • FIG. 1 This figure illustrates a combination cosmetic container and support arrangement which is designed in accordance with the present invention and which is generally designated by the reference numeral 10.
  • this combination arrangement includes and preferably consists solely of a cosmetic container 12 and a support tab 14.
  • the container is adapted to house a cosmetic therein, as discussed above, and the support tab serves as a package for the container and, at the same time, a means of supporting the container to a display or shelf rack which is at least partially represented by the upstanding post 16 and its associated hook 18.
  • container 12 is interlocked in place within a cooperating cutout in tab support 14 and cannot be removed without being opened first. At the same time, the entire front face of the container remains uncovered and in direct view for visual inspection by potential customers.
  • container 12 which is shown including a g en - erally rectangular main section 20 and a similarly shaped lid 22.
  • main section 20 defines a compartment 24 which houses a cosmetic, for example blush, eye shadow, lipstick, or the like, generally indicated at 25.
  • Main section 20 also includes a circumferential margin or edge 26 extending entirely around compartment 24.
  • lid 22 includes a similar margin or edge 28 defining most of its rectangular periphery. In the embodiment illustrated, this margin or edge extends around a centrally located clear window 30 which, as will be seen below, exposes the cosmetic 26 to view when the lid is closed against main section 20.
  • Lid 22 is pivotally connected along its back edge 32 to the back edge 40 of main section 20 by a cooperating hinge mechanism generally in icated at 42 in Figure 5.
  • the hinge mechanism includes an elongated hinge element 44 depending from a central location along the length of back edge 32 of lid 22.
  • the back edge 40 of main section includes a complementary slot for receiving element 44 and opposing pivot projections 48 extending into cooperating openings at the opposite ends of element 44.
  • the lid is pivotally movable between its opened position illustrated in Figures 2-4 and its closed position illustrated in Figures 1 and 5.
  • the overall container preferably includes a suitable latching mechanism to maintain the lid in a disengag- ably closed position.
  • This mechanism which is generally indicated at 50 in Figure 1 extends along and forms part of the front edges 52 and 54 of the lid and container main section, respectively, as best seen in Figures 3 and 4. As .seen in these latter figures, the mechanism"includes interlocking tabs 56 and 58.
  • the tab includes a generally rectangular, sheet-like main body 60 which may be cardboard, plastic, sheet metal, metal foil or like sheet material having sufficient structural integrity to support container 12 in the manner to be described.
  • Main body 6 0 includes a generally rectangular cutout 62 which is configured to accommodate the container in an interlocking manner when the container lid i; closed. This is best illustrated in Figures 7 and 8 in conjunction with Figures 1 and 6.
  • main section 20 is disposed on the back side of tab body 60 such that opposite edge sections 26a and 26b of edge 26 rest against the back sides of opposite edge sections of the tab body 60 along and on opposite sides of cutout 62.
  • edge sections are generally indicated by dotted lines at 64a and 64b in Figure 6.
  • lid 22 is located on the front side of tab body 60, as best seen in Figure 8.
  • the margin or edge sections 28a and 28b of margin 28 engage the front sides of edges 64a and 64b.
  • the container cannot be removed from cutout 62 without opening the container.
  • the container lid in order to initially position the container in cutout 62 in the manner just described,.the container lid must be opened and either the.lid or main section must be passed through the cutout before the lid can be closed. Once the opened container is positioned within the cutout in this way, the lid is pivotally moved to its closed position.
  • cutout itself includes a bottom cutout segment 66 ( Figure 6) adapted to receive hinge mechanism 42 such that the tab body does not interfere with operation of the hinge mechanism.
  • cutout 62 includes a top cutout segment 68 adapted to receive the latch mechanism 50, that is, so that the tab body does not interfere with its operation. At the same time, these cutout segments serve to properly align the container in place.
  • cutout 62 in tab body 60 depends upon the overall configuration of container 12 and therefore may vary depending upon the configuration of its associated container. Nevertheless, the cutout configuration selected must be one which allows at least one edge section of the tab body along the cutout to extend into the container between-its main section and lid when the latter is closed for locking the container in place.
  • the cutout is preferably configured so that at least two opposing edge-sections of the tab body extend into the container when the latter is closed.
  • the container must be allowed to be opened and closed within the cutout. In the case of a hinged and latching lid, the hinge and latching mechanisms must be allowed to function in their intended manner.
  • the container itself must be one which lends itself to this overall interlocking relationship with the tab body.
  • tab body 60 supports its associated container 12
  • attention is now directed to the way the entire arrangement is supported on hook 18 of post 16 in Figure 1. All that is necessary to accomplish this is to provide the tab body with a through-hole 70 which is preferably located directly above cutout 62.
  • This through-hole receives the hook 18 or any other shelf type peg in the manner illustrated in Figure 1.
  • window 30 which readily displays the cosmetic therein.
