Refillable packaging box for a cosmetic item

Abstract

The invention relates to a packaging box ( 10 ) for at least one cosmetic item ( 40 ), comprising: a base ( 16 ) defining an internal compartment ( 26 ), a refill part ( 14 ) comprising a receptacle ( 39, 50 ) intended to receive a first cosmetic item ( 40 ), the refill part being assembled in a removable manner with the base, in such a way that the receptacle of the refill part is received in the internal compartment of the base. The box comprises a first ( 82, 86 ) and a second means for blocking in translation of the refill part with respect to the base, with the first means of blocking being elastically deformable in such a way as to unblock the refill part ( 14 ) with respect to the base ( 16 ).

1 . A packaging box for at least one cosmetic item, comprising:
 a base defining an internal compartment, an opening of said internal compartment being substantially arranged according to a first axis;   a refill part comprising a receptacle intended to receive a first cosmetic item such as a cosmetic product, an opening of said receptacle being substantially arranged according to a second axis,   the refill part being assembled in a removable manner with the base, in such a way that the receptacle of the refill part is received in the internal compartment of the base and that the first and second axes are confounded,   wherein the packaging box comprises a first and a second means of blocking in translation, according to the first axis, the refill part with respect to the base,   at least the first means of blocking being elastically deformable, according to a direction substantially perpendicular to the first and/or the second axis, in such a way as to unblock the refill part with respect to the base.   
     
     
         2 . A packaging box according to  claim 1 , wherein each one of the first and second means for blocking comprises a first element of the base and a second element of the refill part, said first and second elements able to cooperate in order to block in translation the refill part with respect to the base. 
     
     
         3 . A packaging box according to  claim 1 , wherein once of the first and second elements of the first means of blocking comprise an elastically deformable flexible tab. 
     
     
         4 . A packaging box according to  claim 1 , wherein the first and second means of blocking are substantially located on either side of the receptacle. 
     
     
         5 . A packaging box according to  claim 1 , further comprising a lid mobile between an open position and a closed position, in which the refill part and/or the first and second means of blocking are contained in an internal volume defined by the base and by the lid in closed position. 
     
     
         6 . A packaging box according to  claim 1 , further comprising a housing intended to receive a second cosmetic item such as a cosmetic product applicator. 
     
     
         7 . A packaging box according to  claim 6 , wherein the housing intended to receive a second cosmetic item is configured in such a way as to close the receptacle when the lid is in closed position. 
     
     
         8 . A refill unit comprising:
 a packaging box according to  claim 1 ; and   a plurality of refills of a shape similar to the refill part or to a portion of said refill part, with each one of said refills containing a cosmetic product.   
     
     
         9 . A Method for disassembling a packaging box according to  claim 1 , comprising the following steps:
 elastic deformation of the first means of blocking in such a way as to unblock the refill part of the box with respect to the base of said box; then   dissociation of the refill part and the base.   
     
     
         10 . A Method for manufacturing a packaging box according to  claim 2 , comprising the following steps:
 supplying of the base and of the refill part; then   putting into contact the first and second elements of the second means of blocking in translation; then   pivoting the refill part with respect to the base according to a third axis passing substantially through said first and second elements of the second means of blocking, in such a way as to assemble via snap-fitting the first and second elements of the first means of blocking in translation by elastic deformation of said first means of blocking.   
     
     
         11 . A packaging box according to  claim 2 , wherein once of the first and second elements of the first means of blocking comprise an elastically deformable flexible tab. 
     
     
         12 . A packaging box according to  claim 2 , wherein the first and second means of blocking are substantially located on either side of the receptacle. 
     
     
         13 . A packaging box according to  claim 3 , wherein the first and second means of blocking are substantially located on either side of the receptacle. 
     
     
         14 . A packaging box according to  claim 2 , further comprising a lid mobile between an open position and a closed position, in which the refill part and/or the first and second means of blocking are contained in an internal volume defined by the base and by the lid in closed position. 
     
     
         15 . A packaging box according to  claim 3 , further comprising a lid mobile between an open position and a closed position, in which the refill part and/or the first and second means of blocking are contained in an internal volume defined by the base and by the lid in closed position. 
     
     
         16 . A packaging box according to  claim 4 , further comprising a lid mobile between an open position and a closed position, in which the refill part and/or the first and second means of blocking are contained in an internal volume defined by the base and by the lid in closed position. 
     
     
         17 . A packaging box according to  claim 2 , further comprising a housing intended to receive a second cosmetic item such as a cosmetic product applicator. 
     
     
         18 . A packaging box according to  claim 3 , further comprising a housing intended to receive a second cosmetic item such as a cosmetic product applicator.
