Definitions
- the present invention relates to cosmetic product containers. More particularly, the present invention relates to a fragrance sample container for containing and dispensing preferably a unit dosage of cosmetic fragrance in fluid form, while preventing most essentially planar pressures on the container from rupturing the fragrance-holding capsule. Thus, still more particularly, this invention relates to a unit-dose fragrance container that can survive the rigors of shipment through the mails or inclusion in printed material, such as a magazine.
- scent-strips in magazines or mailings.
- the scent-strip process involves micro-encapsulating a fragrance and adhering it with glue to a printed magazine or mailing insert. While scent strips are easy to mail, are compressible and are relatively inexpensive, they do not present a true rendition of the fragrance to the potential customer.
- Another known means for packaging a unit dosage cosmetic sample is the soft-gelatin capsule. Similar in function to plastic or glass vials, these "soft-gel" capsules contain a fluid sample of the fragrance or other cosmetic. However, unlike the plastic or glass vials, soft-gel capsules are relatively inexpensive to manufacture, and, in addition, are biodegradable.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,063,057 discloses a "Saturn-like" soft-gelatin capsule comprising a round (essentially spherical) body with a hollow chamber for containing a cosmetic composition, a neck section connecting a pull tab to the round body, and, to prevent the capsule from rolling, "an outwardly projecting ring positioned along a median circumference of an outer wall of the body.” (Col. 2, lines 15-17).
- the capsule is opened by twisting the tab until the neck section snaps and opens a passage into the chamber. "By gently squeezing the capsule walls, cosmetic composition is forced to exit through the puncture opening.” (Col. 2, lines 66-68). It is apparent that the shape of the round body disclosed by Spellman could not withstand planar pressure, such as that inherent in a stack of magazines, without bursting and allowing the cosmetic contents to leak.
- Supplementary objects of this invention include providing a unit-dosage fragrance sampler that: • permits distribution via the mails or in magazines or other printed material;
- the present invention provides a cosmetic sample container useful for containing and dispensing preferably a unit dosage of fluid-form fragrance.
- the invention is made of gelatin and comprises a substantially cylindrical narrow central portion, and a peripheral portion with thickened edges.
- the central portion is a hollow chamber and serves to contain a fluid-form fragrance.
- the peripheral portion is preferably planar and extends from the central portion. At least two opposing outer edges of the peripheral portion are thickened solid gelatin, and, in the preferred embodiment, are parallel to the central portion. The thickened edges need not be as thick as the central portion.
- the overall width of the fragrance sample container is at least three times the width of the central portion.
- the peripheral portion may have a reduced width at a twist-off or neck portion, in order to provide easy access to the contents of the central portion.
- the thickened solid edges of the peripheral portion serve to buffer the central fluid-containing portion against the force of a weight applied substantially perpendicular to the plane of the peripheral portion and spread over a plane substantially parallel to the peripheral portion.
- the thickened edges help to distribute the compressive force of a stack of magazines around the entire cosmetic sample container, rather than allowing the force to solely impact and probably rupture the central fluid-containing portion.
- the weight of stacked magazines would cause the central fluid-containing portion to compress and fracture, resulting in unacceptable leakage.
- the present invention provides a novel solution to this problem, allowing much of the weight from the stacked magazines to be absorbed by the thickened edges, and thereby permitting the central portion to remain intact.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a fragrance sample container made in accordance with the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a front and back plan view of the fragrance sample container, the front and back plan views being identical;
- Figure 3 is a left and right side view of the fragrance sample container, the left and right side views being identical;
- Figures 4 is a top view of the fragrance sample container
- Figure 5 is a bottom view of the fragrance sample container; and Figure 6 is a cross sectional view of the fragrance sample container taken along line 1- 1 of Figure 2.
- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a fragrance sample container 10 made in accordance with the present invention.
- Container 10 comprises a central fluid-containing portion 12, and a peripheral portion 14 having thickened edges 16.
- the container 10 is shaped to present the appearance of a fragrance bottle, having a reduced width neck portion 18, at which point easy access to the central fluid-containing portion is available.
- a variety of other shapes may be used, and the invention is not intended to be limited to a bottle shape.
- the cosmetic container 10 may be made from a variety of substances. However, in the preferred embodiment, the container is made of soft gelatin. As described in U.S. Patent No. 5,063,057 (Spellman et al.), "[g]elatin for soft capsules normally will be selected from low-bloom Type A (170-180 g), Type B (150-172 g), or a mixture of Types A and B.” (Col. 3, lines 13-16). Generally, a large variety of synthetic polymers may be used as the gelatin substance. "The polymers may either be water-soluble or water-insoluble.
- Suitable materials are polymers derived from such monomers as vinyl chloride, vinyl alcohol, vinyl pyrrolidone, furan, acrylonitrile, vinyl acetate, methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, styrene, vinyl, ethyl ether, vinyl propyl ether, acrylamide, ethylene, propylene, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic anhydride, salts of any of the aforementioned acids and mixtures thereof. These materials may be in the form of either homo or copolymers. More specific examples include polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, acrylic/maleic copolymers, sodium polyacrylate, polyvinyl pyrrolidone and polyvinyl alcohol.” (I , col.
- [c]ellulose based materials may also be suitable; these include sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxpropyl methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate and cellulose sulphate esters.” (Id., col. 3, lines 45-48).
- the central portion 10 is preferably narrow in relation to the overall width W of the container. Most preferably, the overall container is at least three times as wide as the central portion.
- the central portion may be of a variety of shapes. However, it is preferably of a cylindrical shape, or, alternatively, of an oblong cylindrical shape having an oval-shaped cross section 20 as shown in Figure 6.
- the vertical thickness V of the central portion should be small enough to permit the container to be inserted in stacked magazines or in mailings, or to meet other given needs.
- the interior of the central portion 10 is a hollow chamber that is designed to contain any of a variety of cosmetics such as perfumes and other fragrances, lotions, creams and pastes. In order to allow the central portion to depress slightly under pressure, however, the chamber should not be filled completely, thus leaving the central portion malleable.
- the peripheral portion Extending laterally from the central portion and preferably substantially surrounding at least a portion of the central portion is the peripheral portion 14.
- the peripheral portion is preferably a substantially planar horizontal extension from the central portion and, as noted above, may be of a variety of shapes.
- the peripheral portion is given a neck portion 18 of reduced width, to permit easy access to the cosmetic in the central portion.
- the outer edges 16 of the peripheral portion 14 are thickened solid gelatin, in contrast to the hollow (partially fluid-filled) central portion 12. Further, in the preferred embodiment, the edges are parallel to the central portion, except at the neck 18.
- the thickened edges 16 of the peripheral portion need not be as thick as the central portion. However, the edges must be of a sufficient thickness and strength that when the entire container is subjected to a planar force F substantially perpendicular to the plane of the peripheral portion and spread over a plane substantially parallel to the peripheral portion, the edges 16 will absorb sufficient pressure to prevent the force from compressing the central portion the extent that the central portion ruptures. However, as noted above, the central portion may be permitted to depress slightly under this pressure without bursting.
- the peripheral portion may comprise nothing more than thickened ribs 16 connected in some fashion to the central fluid-containing portion.
- the thickened ribs 16 may be attached by spokes to the central portion 12.
- Other formations may also suffice, as long as the thickened ribs serve the above discussed function of buffering a planar force applied to the fragrance sample container.
- the fragrance sample container of the present invention may be manufactured by a variety of processes.
- the container is formed by the continuous rotary die process illustrated in U.S. Patent No. 1,970,396 to Robert P. Scherer. This process includes heat sealing two gelatin halves together while simultaneously adding the cosmetic contents to the central fluid-containing portion.
