BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention falls within the sector of cosmetic fluid dispensing containers.

The closest document is European Patent No. EP1362525 (ES2266747).

Said patent solves the problem of dispensing a cosmetic fluid to the skin by means of a roll-on system that optimizes said dispensing.

On the other hand, it has the drawback that when the fluid ends, a high proportion of it ends up remaining in the container, which causes the user to lose an amount to be dispensed.

The present invention solves the problem by means of a container that combines a configuration for the removal of air so that it does not occupy space inside the housing, a lip that fits the walls of the housing to drag all the fluid towards the outlet orifices and an inner lid that prevents the fluid from going outside.

An object of the present invention is a container for cosmetic fluids, of the type that comprises a base that is directly or indirectly connected to an outer lid, characterized in that it comprises: a hollow axis that defines a corridor, located in the base , which comprises at least one section with a thread, an intermediate support, inside which there is a first section of thread passage through which the thread moves, and which connects to the interior of the base, an annular roof in the form of a hat , which covers the upper part of the shaft, leaving the corridor free, and which comprises a first lip arranged on the perimeter of the ceiling, an adapter that envelops, at least partially, the intermediate support and which ends at the top in a second section of thread passage that connects with the thread, below the roof, a frame that surrounds, at least partially, the adapter and that fits with the base, defining a housing of variable volume that contains a fluid and that is connected with the corridor, delimited below by the roof, its first lip and an interior axis, and above by a canopy of the framework, said framework comprising some holes that communicate the fluid with the exterior, the previously defined interior axis, which is arranged in the corridor as a cover blocking the exit of fluid from the housing to the outside through the corridor, said interior axis comprising at least one vertical groove, which guides the air trapped inside to the outside, and an interior cover that is located inside of the outer cover and that covers the holes, avoiding the exit of fluid during the fluid charge.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

In order to facilitate the explanation, three sheets of drawings are attached to this report in which a practical case of realization has been represented, which is cited by way of example, not limiting the scope of the present invention:

- Figure 1 is a general view of the invention,

- Figure 2 is a section along line II-II of figure 1, and

- Figure 3 is an exploded view of Figure 1.

CONCRETE PERFORMANCE OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

Figure 1 represents an outer cover 1 and a base 8.

Figure 2 illustrates the outer cover 1, a frame 3 inside which there is a housing 13, a shaft 4, an adapter 5, an intermediate support 6, an inner shaft 7 with its vertical grooves 16 and a corridor 20, the base 8, a roof 9, a section with a thread 10, a first passage of thread 11, a second section of thread passage 19, a first lip 12, a second lip 17, holes 14, a canopy 15 and an inner cover 18.

Finally, figure 3 shows the outer cover 1, the frame 3, the shaft 4, the adapter 5, the intermediate support 6, the inner shaft 7 with its vertical grooves 16 and the corridor 20, the base 8, the roof 9, the threaded section 10, the first thread pitch 11, the second thread pitch section 19, the first lip 12, the second lip 17, the housing 13, the holes 14, the canopy 15 and the inner lid 18.

Thus, the container of the present invention is formed

by a base 8 that is connected directly or indirectly with an outer cover 1. This is so because one could be connected to another or to an intermediate piece that joins them.

It also includes an axis 4, hollow, located in the base 8, which includes at least one section with a thread 10. Said axis 4 defines with said cavity a corridor 20, which, as will be explained in more detail later, is used to pour the fluid into the container interior.

Likewise, it has an intermediate support 6, inside which there is a first thread passage section 11 through which the thread 10 moves, and which connects with the interior of the base 8.

An annular roof 9 in the form of a hat, which covers the upper part of the axis 4, leaving the corridor 20 free, covers the upper part of the axis 4, and which comprises a first lip 12 arranged on the perimeter of the roof 9. Said roof, as It will be explained in more detail later, when moving upwards, it pushes, together with the inner shaft 7 (the head of the inner shaft 7), the fluid towards the outside.

It also comprises an adapter 5 that envelops, at least partially, the intermediate support 6 and that ends at the top in a second thread passage section 19 that connects with the thread 10, below the roof 9. In this way, when moving the adapter 5 through the second thread 11, pushes up the roof 9 and the inner shaft 20 that compress the fluid.

The frame 3 envelops, at least partially, the adapter 5 and which engages with the base 8, defining a housing 13 of variable volume that contains a fluid and which is connected to the passage 20. The housing 13 is delimited below by the roof 9, his first lip 12 and an inner shaft 7, which prevents the fluid from escaping downwards, and above through a canopy 15 of the frame 3. Said frame 3, in the canopy 15, includes holes 14 that communicate the fluid with the outside.

The interior axis 7 previously defined in the previous paragraph, is arranged in the corridor 20, which is the one that connects the interior of the housing 13 with the exterior through the corridor 20. The interior axis 7 is arranged as a cover blocking the exit of flow from the housing 13 to the outside through the passageway 20, said inner axis 7 comprising at least one vertical groove 16, which guides the air trapped inside to the outside.

Finally, it also includes an inner cover 18 that is located inside the outer cover 1 and that covers the holes 14.

Optionally, to ensure tightness, it can include a second lip 17, located on the roof 9, below the first lip 12.

In a specific embodiment, the manufacturer will configure the container of the present invention, with the roof 9 as far away from the inner lid 18, that is, with the housing 13 at maximum capacity.

Next, it will place the container in an inverted position, without the base 8 or the interior axis 7. This allows the housing 13 to be connected to the exterior through the corridor 20.

Next, the operator will pour the fluid into the housing 13 through the passageway 20. The fluid does not come out of the holes 14 since the inner cover 18 blocks the holes 14 and prevents the fluid from coming out of the holes 14.

Once it has finished, it will introduce the inner shaft 7 in the passage 20 and block the outlet of the fluid inside the housing 13.

Likewise, if there is trapped air, it will dissipate through the vertical grooves 16.

Finally, you will place the base 8 and the product is ready to be marketed.

The user will take the container and remove the outer lid 1.

Then with your fingers you will rotate the base 8. The base 8 is linked to the adapter 5, which when turning the base 8 moves said adapter 5 up by means of the second section of thread passage 19 that moves through the thread 10. This causes the roof 9 and the inner shaft 7 to push the fluid that is inside the housing 13 towards the holes 14, where it exits to the outside. In this way, the housing 13 varies its volume by reducing it. At the initial moment, when the operator loads the fluid inside the housing 13, as explained, he configures the volume of the housing, varying its capacity until it reaches the maximum volume, hence the housing 13 is configured so that the Even if it is of variable volume, its maximum capacity can be reduced as the user or user dispenses the fluid inside the housing 13.

The first lip 12, and where appropriate the second lip 17, seal the housing 13 below and prevent the fluid from escaping outside the housing 13 into the interior of the base 8.

The present invention describes a new container for cosmetic fluids. The examples mentioned here are not limiting of the present invention, therefore it may have different applications and/or adaptations, all of them within the scope of the following claims.
