Claims (9)

  1. Packaging device (10) for cosmetic product (12), characterized in that it comprises: - a container (14) intended to contain the cosmetic product (12), the container (14) having a main opening (22), - a lid (24) which is linked to an edge of the container (14) by means of a hinge element (28) so as to be able to pivot between a closed state in which the lid (24) blocks the main opening (22) and at least one open state which allows access to the main opening (22) to permit the withdrawal of cosmetic product (12), - a receptacle (44) arranged in an external face (46) of the main wall (30) of the lid (24), the receptacle (44) being shaped to receive by elastic fitting a spatula (48) and to retain it on the lid (24) before sampling, the spatula (48) being intended to be used for sampling product in the container (14).
  2. Cosmetic product packaging device (10) according to the preceding claim, characterized in that the receptacle (44) forms a recess (50), or indentation, in the external face (46) of the main wall (30) of the lid (24), the recess (50) being delimited by at least two secondary edges (52) which extend in a substantially radial direction from a peripheral edge (54) of the main wall (30) of the lid (24) towards the center of the lid (24).
  3. Cosmetic product (12) packaging device (10) according to the preceding claim, characterized in that the receptacle (44) forms a recess (58), or notch, in the peripheral edge (54) of the main wall (30) of the lid (24).
  4. Packaging device (10) for cosmetic product (12) according to the preceding claim, characterized in that the receptacle (44) has an overall triangular shape with rounded ends, in the manner of a plectrum, and in that one of the sides of the receptacle (44) is flush with the peripheral edge (54) of the main wall (30) of the lid (24).
  5. Cosmetic product (12) packaging device (10) according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the container (14), the lid (24), and the hinge element (28) are made of a single piece.

Description

Technical field of the invention The present invention relates to a packaging device for a cosmetic product. Technical background Various packaging devices are used for cosmetic products such as powders or creams intended for makeup. They are generally manufactured by injecting plastic material into a mold. It is known to produce packaging devices of relatively flat shapes, for example in the shape of a disc, with a container part intended to hold the product intended for makeup, and a lid part intended to protect the product. There are numerous constraints regarding the manufacturing and design of these packaging devices. In particular, they must have an attractive appearance that enhances the product inside. They must also be easy to handle and allow for product dispensing for application to the user's skin. Furthermore, they must be simple and inexpensive to manufacture. Removing product from the container sometimes requires the use of an accessory. Common packaging devices generally lack such a retrieval accessory. There is a need for an improved cosmetic product packaging device that allows for the association of a sampling accessory without penalizing the ease of manufacturing of the packaging device. Summary of the invention The invention proposes a cosmetic product packaging device, characterized in that it comprises: a container intended to hold the cosmetic product, the container having a main opening, a lid which is linked to an edge of the container by means of a hinge element so as to be able to pivot between a closed state in which the lid blocks the main opening and at least one open state which allows access to the main opening to permit the withdrawal of cosmetic product, a receptacle arranged in an external face of the main wall of the lid, the receptacle being shaped to receive by elastic fitting a spatula and to retain it on the lid before sampling, the spatula being intended to be used for sampling product from the container. The invention can be defined by the following characteristics, taken individually or in combination: the receptacle forms a recess, or indentation, in the outer face of the main wall of the lid, the recess being delimited by at least two secondary edges which extend in a substantially radial direction from a peripheral edge of the main wall of the lid towards the center of the lid; the receptacle forms a recess, or notch, in the peripheral edge of the main wall of the lid; the receptacle has an overall triangular shape with rounded ends, like a plectrum, and one side of the receptacle is flush with the peripheral edge of the main wall of the lid; the container, the lid, and the hinge element are made from a single piece; the hinge element consists of a strip of material connecting a peripheral edge of the container to a peripheral edge of the lid, said strip of material being sufficiently flexible to allow the lid to pivot relative to the container between its closed state and its open state which allows access to the main opening; the container and the lid are shaped so that, in the closed state of the lid on the container, the packaging device has overall the shape of a disc; the lid has a first external radial collar which is designed to bear axially against a second external radial collar belonging to the container; the device includes the spatula which is mounted fitted into the receptacle; one of the lid and container includes a protrusion or projection or portion of a bead or bead intended to retain the lid in the closed state; the other part of the lid and container includes a recessed shape or a hole or a portion of a groove or a groove provided to retain the lid in the closed state; the hollow shape or hole or portion of groove or the groove is provided to receive the protrusion or projection or portion of bead or the bead when the lid is in the closed state; the receptacle includes spatula retaining lugs, designed to elastically couple or fit elastically with the spatula received in the receptacle; The retaining lugs are arranged around the periphery of the lid, for example to cooperate with a counter-form of the spatula.
