BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an improvement to a container, such as a pot or jar or the like. It relates more particularly, but not specifically, to containers for cosmetics and perfume.
2. Description of Background and Relevant Information
Nowadays, one knows the importance of the containers used in perfumery, and especially those sold for skin care creams, such as liposome-base creams, for example. For the consumer, these containers must have an appealing, distinctive appearance, while meeting the basic hygiene or quality requirements.
Known containers commercially available these days are constituted by glass or plastic jars closed by a lid or cap that is generally screwed on the jar body of the jar. But although the current containers are aesthetically appealing, such is not the case with respect to the hygiene of the product in the container, which must kept as impervious as possible. Of course, the manufacturers preferably use caps that are screwed on and which most often include a flexible sealing gasket inserted between the cap and the opening edge of the pot, in order to enable proper closure; but this type of arrangement, in spite of its appearance, is not totally satisfactory. That is why perfumers have thought of providing a cover for the jar filled with cream in order to obtain a perfect sealing before the product is used. But in this case, the cover positioning must be performed by the perfumer after the jar is filled, and before the cap is positioned. This is a supplemental, and therefore costly step for the perfumer. In addition, the positioning of the cover, while the container is already filled with cream, can create dirt and produce bacteria that are prejudicial to the hygiene of the product.
Jars have already been proposed to solve the cover-related problem, such as that disclosed in the French Application No. 83 02469, published as No. 2 540 834, for example, according to which the cover is placed on an independent supplemental part added to a conventional jar.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned disadvantages by proposing a new design for a container, which has a number of advantages, both for the manufacturer thereof and the perfumer who must fill it. The container of the invention is equipped with a clean cover which is not handled by the perfumer, since it is integral with an additional part to be positioned after the filling.
Thus, the container of the invention is a jar closed by a cap, of the type whose opening is temporarily blocked by a cover, wherein the jar is constituted by a container body to which an intermediary part including the cover is affixed, the cap cooperating with the intermediary part for the closure of the jar.
Thus, the container of the invention is a jar closed by a cap, said jar being of the type constituted by a container body formed by a first peripheral wall forming the housing which is intended to receive the content, and to which an intermediary part including the cover is affixed, the cap cooperating with the intermediary part, wherein the external wall of the jar can be totally or partially constituted by a second peripheral wall of the container body and/or by a peripheral wall of the intermediary part.
According to complementary characteristics, the container body includes a second peripheral wall spaced from the first peripheral wall, to thereby create a peripheral space between the two walls. In a preferred solution, the second peripheral wall is connected to the lower transverse wall constituting the base of the jar to extend upwardly.
According to another complementary characteristic, the container body is formed by a first peripheral wall forming the housing which is intended to receive the content, such as cosmetic cream, for example, the housing being opened upwardly and closed downwardly by a lower transverse wall constituting the base of the jar.
In addition, the intermediary part has the general shape of a ring and is con
