Abstract

L'invention a pour objet un contenant pour produits rigides et, plus précisément, un étui pour bâton de rouge à lèvres. Il est du type comprenant un corps 1 et une ouverture 2, un élément flexible 3 coulissant dans des guides 4 au moyen d'un poussoir 6 et une coupelle 7 pour tenir le rouge. Il est caractérisé en ce que le poussoir 6 est monté élastiquement par rapport au corps 1. Selon une variante, cette élasticité est obtenue en assujetissant le poussoir 6 à une extrémité 8 de l'élément 3, extrémité 8 qui est amincie pour pouvoir s'étendre à l'extérieur de la lumière 5.The subject of the invention is a container for rigid products and, more specifically, a case for a lipstick stick. It is of the type comprising a body 1 and an opening 2, a flexible element 3 sliding in guides 4 by means of a pusher 6 and a cup 7 to hold the red. It is characterized in that the pusher 6 is mounted elastically relative to the body 1. According to a variant, this elasticity is obtained by subjecting the pusher 6 to one end 8 of the element 3, end 8 which is thinned so as to be able to extend outside the light 5.

Description

On connait déjà des contenants tels qu'étuis de rouge à lèvresjstylo-mine, colle en bâton, etc... qui comprennent un corps avec une ouverture et un élément flexible sur lequel on agit au moyen d'un poussoir pour provoquer l'extraction du contenu par l'ouverture. On peut citer en particulier :

  • - le brevet français 721.239 qui décrit un contenant pour un rouge à lèvres 12 qui comprend un poussoir 7 relié à un élément flexible 3 au moyen d'un talon 9 rigide engagé dans une lumière 6 et retenu ainsi au moyen d'une goupille rigide 14 solidaire de l'élément flexible 3.
    Ceci est une disposition contraire à la présente invention qui prévoitque le poussoir doit être relié à l'extrémité de l'élément flexible selon un montage élastique du poussoir.
  • - Le brevet français 933.926 décrit un étui de rouge à lèvres dont le support est relié à un élément flexible mais celui-ci ne s'étend pas au-dessus de l'ouverture supérieure qui ne peut être obturée que par un couvercle 3 articulé à l'extrémité flexible.
Are already known containers such as cases of lipstick j pen pencil, stick glue, etc ... which comprise a body with an opening and a flexible member which is acted upon by means of a pusher to cause the content extraction by opening. We can cite in particular:
  • - French patent 721.239 which describes a container for a lipstick 12 which comprises a pusher 7 connected to a flexible element 3 by means of a rigid heel 9 engaged in a slot 6 and thus retained by means of a rigid pin 14 secured to the flexible element 3.
    This is an arrangement contrary to the present invention which provides that the pusher must be connected to the end of the flexible element according to an elastic mounting of the pusher.
  • - French patent 933,926 describes a lipstick case, the support of which is connected to a flexible element, but the latter does not extend above the upper opening which can only be closed by a cover 3 hinged to the flexible end.

La présente invention, au contraire, prévoit expressément la présence de l'élément flexible au droit de l'ouverture supérieure, au moins en partie, lorsque le poussoir est en position de fermeture et la non articulation rigide du poussoir par rapport à l'élément flexible afin que le poussoir soit appliqué élastiquement lorsqu'il obture l'ouverture.The present invention, on the contrary, expressly provides for the presence of the flexible element in line with the upper opening, at least in part, when the pusher is in the closed position and the rigid non-articulation of the pusher relative to the element flexible so that the plunger is applied elastically when it closes the opening.

  • - Le brevet américain 2.453.250 est analogue aux deux brevets ci-dessus car le couvercle-poussoir 21 est articulé à l'extrémité de l'élément flexible 18, lequel ne peut pas se trouver, même en partie, au droit de l'ouverture supérieure puisque celle-ci se trouve dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe de l'étui et non pas dans un plan incliné.- The US patent 2,453,250 is similar to the two above patents because the push cover 21 is hinged at the end of the flexible element 18, which cannot be, even in part, in line with the upper opening since it is in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the case and not in an inclined plane.
  • - Le brevet français 663.721 est presque identique au précédent car le couvercle qui forme poussoir est articulé sur un talon 3 par une charnière 5 et le talon 3 est prévu à l'extrémité de l'élément flexible 15, l'ouverture étant perpendiculaire et non pas inclinée par rapport à l'axe général de l'étui.- French patent 663,721 is almost identical to the previous one because the cover which forms a pusher is articulated on a heel 3 by a hinge 5 and the heel 3 is provided at the end of the flexible element 15, the opening being perpendicular and not not inclined with respect to the general axis of the case.
  • - Il en est de même pour le brevet américain 1.776.098.- It is the same for the American patent 1,776,098.

La présente invention se différencie tout-à-fait de ces dispositions antérieures en prévoyant un montage élastique du poussoir par rapport à des guides internes qui s'étendent, au moins en partie, jusqu'au droit de l'ouverture supérieure.The present invention differs entirely from these previous arrangements by providing an elastic mounting of the pusher relative to internal guides which extend, at least in part, to the right of the upper opening.

L'invention sera bien comprise par la description détaillée ci-après faite en référence au dessin annexé. Bien entendu la description et le dessin ne sont donnés qu'à titre d'exemple indicatif et non limitatif.The invention will be better understood from the detailed description below made with reference to the accompanying drawing. Of course, the description and the drawing are given only by way of an indicative and nonlimiting example.

Les figures 1 et 2 sont des vues en coupe d'un étui de rouge à lèvres selon un premier mode de réalisation, représenté respectivement en position de fermeture et en position d'ouverture.Figures 1 and 2 are sectional views of a lipstick case according to a first embodiment, shown respectively in the closed position and in the open position.

La figure 3 est une vue schématique partielle en perspective du même étui.Figure 3 is a partial schematic perspective view of the same case.

La figure 4 est une vue en coupe d'un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention.Figure 4 is a sectional view of another embodiment of the invention.

Les figures 5 et 6 représentent en coupe axiale un contenant conforme à un autre mode de réalisation dans deux positions différentes du poussoir.Figures 5 and 6 show in axial section a container according to another embodiment in two different positions of the pusher.

La figure 7 est une vue schématique à plus grande échelle montrant l'association du poussoir, du patin et de l'élément flexible.Figure 7 is a schematic view on a larger scale showing the association of the pusher, the shoe and the flexible element.

Les figures 8 et 9 représentent en coupe axialte un contenant réalisé selon un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention.Figures 8 and 9 show in axial section a container made according to another embodiment of the invention.

La figure 10 est une vue partielle faite en coupe selon la ligne X-X:de la figure 8.FIG. 10 is a partial view in section along the line X-X: of FIG. 8.

Un contenant conforme à l'invention est du type comprenant d'une part un corps 1 avec une ouverture 2 pour le passage du contenu A et d'autre part un élément flexible 3 qui coulisse dans des guides internes 4 du corps 1 au droit d'une lumière 5, qui est fixé par une de ses extrémités à un organe 7 d'extraction du contenu A et qui est associé par son autre extrémité à un poussoir de manoeuvre 6 qui doit être placé soit en regard de la lumière 5 pour dégager l'ouverture 2 soit en regard de ladite ouverture 2 pour l'obturer à la manière d'un opercule, et est caractérisé en ce que le poussoir-opercule 6 est monté élastiquement par rapport aux guides 4 du corps 1.A container according to the invention is of the type comprising on the one hand a body 1 with an opening 2 for the passage of the content A and on the other hand a flexible element 3 which slides in internal guides 4 of the body 1 at right 'a light 5, which is fixed by one of its ends to a member 7 for extracting the content A and which is associated by its other end with an operating pusher 6 which must be placed either opposite the light 5 to release the opening 2 is opposite said opening 2 to close it in the manner of a cover, and is characterized in that the cover push-button 6 is resiliently mounted relative to the guides 4 of the body 1.

Selon le mode de réalisation des figures 1 à 3, le poussoir-opercule 6 est monté élastiquement du fait de sa liaison avec une partie 8 constituée par une section de l'élément flexible 3 elle-même élastique.According to the embodiment of Figures 1 to 3, the pusher-seal 6 is resiliently mounted due to its connection with a part 8 formed by a section of the flexible element 3 which is itself elastic.

Selon une variante, la partie 8, par laquelle le poussoir-opercule 6 est relié à l'élement flexible 3, est constituée par une section de cet élément 3 retrécie pour pouvoir s'étendre hors de la lumière 5, entre les bords de cette dernière.According to a variant, the part 8, by which the valve member 6 is connected to the flexible element 3, is constituted by a section of this element 3 narrowed in order to be able to extend out of the light 5, between the edges of this last.

Avec ces dispositions,on voit que l'élément flexible 3, qui est constitué ici par une lamelle élastique, peut être très étroit, pour donner aux guides 4 un écartement faible et de toutes façons inférieur aux dimensions intérieures du corps 1.With these arrangements, it can be seen that the flexible element 3, which here consists of an elastic strip, can be very narrow, to give the guides 4 a small spacing and in any case less than the internal dimensions of the body 1.

Simultanément, aussi étroit que puisse être l'élément flexible 3, l'opercule constitué par le poussoir 6 peut être aussi large qu'on le désire, ne serait-ce que pour des raisons esthétiques, du fait que ce poussoir opercule 6 se déplace à l'extérieur de la lumière 5 et s'applique également à l'extérieur de l'ouverture 2.Simultaneously, as narrow as the flexible element 3 may be, the cover formed by the pusher 6 can be as wide as desired, if only for aesthetic reasons, because this pusher cover 6 moves outside the light 5 and also applies outside the opening 2.

Pour faciliter la manoeuvre du poussoir-opercule 6, celui-ci présente un bec 9 situé près de son extrémité adjacente à l'élément flexible 3 afin qu'en agissant sur ce bec 9 on provoque d'abord le pivotement du poussoir-opercule 6, puis, ensuite, son coulissement le long de la lumière 5.To facilitate the operation of the pusher-seal 6, the latter has a spout 9 located near its end adjacent to the flexible element 3 so that, by acting on this spout 9, the pusher-seal 6 is pivoted first , then, then, its sliding along the light 5.

Afin que le poussoir-opercule 6 s'applique parfaitement sur l'ouverture 2, et afin d'être sûr qu'aucune manoeuvre accidentelle ne peut provoquer l'ouverture du poussoir-opercule 6, il est avantageux de le relier à l'élément flexible 3 par une partie 8,constituée par l'extrêmité amincie de l'élément flexible 3 et qui ainsi constitue une languette pouvant passer entre les bords longitudinaux de la lumière 5, cette languette étant cambrée selon un angle 10.So that the push-cover 6 applies perfectly to the opening 2, and to be sure that no accidental operation can cause the opening of the push-cover 6, it is advantageous to connect it to the element. flexible 3 by a part 8, constituted by the thinned end of the flexible element 3 and which thus constitutes a tongue which can pass between the longitudinal edges of the lumen 5, this tongue being arched at an angle 10.

L'élément flexible 3 étant élastique, la cambrure selon l'angle 10 provoque le rabattement énergique du poussoir-opercule 6 dès qu'il échappe aux côtés du corps 1, à la manière du couvercle d'un briquet par exemple.The flexible element 3 being elastic, the camber along the angle 10 causes the energetic folding down of the valve lifter 6 as soon as it escapes the sides of the body 1, like the cover of a lighter for example.

Pour extraire un bâton de rouge à lèvres A, on agit sur le poussoir-opercule 6 en appuyant sur son bec 9 dans le sens de la flèche F1, puis l'on continue le mouvement de coulissement le long du corps 1 selon la flèche F2, ce qui a pour effet corrélatif de déplacer la douille 7 dans le sens de la flèche F3.To extract a stick of lipstick A, one acts on the pusher-seal 6 by pressing on its beak 9 in the direction of arrow F1, then one continues the sliding movement along the body 1 according to arrow F2 , which has the correlative effect of moving the socket 7 in the direction of arrow F3.

Le poussoir-opercule 6 devant pivoter et démasquer l'ouverture 2 avant de coulisser, l'extrémité du bâton de rouge à lèvres A ne peut jamais toucher l'opercule, même s'il est plus long que prëvu, dès lors que cette longueur est compatible avec la fermeture correcte de l'étui.The pusher-lid 6 having to pivot and unmask the opening 2 before sliding, the end of the lipstick stick A can never touch the lid, even if it is longer than expected, since this length is compatible with the correct closing of the case.

Le corps 1 peut avantageusement être obtenu par la réunion de deux parties analogues (ou "coquilles", une seule est visible sur la figure 3) obtenues chacune par moulage en une seule pièce d'une matière synthétique.The body 1 can advantageously be obtained by the union of two similar parts (or "shells", only one is visible in FIG. 3) each obtained by molding in a single piece of a synthetic material.

Les deux coquilles sont réunies après introduction de l'élément flexible 3 entre les guides 4 et de la douille 7 au centre du corps 1.The two shells are brought together after introduction of the flexible element 3 between the guides 4 and of the sleeve 7 in the center of the body 1.

L'élément flexible 3 peut être rendu solidaire d'une part du poussoir-opercule 6 et d'autre part de la douille 7 par surmoulage de ces organes comme cela est représenté.The flexible element 3 can be made integral on the one hand with the valve member 6 and on the other hand with the sleeve 7 by molding of these members as shown.

Le maintien en place du poussoir-opercule 6 en regard de l'ouverture 2 peut être obtenu en prévoyant un encliquetage de tout type connu.Maintaining the pusher-seal 6 in place opposite the opening 2 can be obtained by providing a snap-fastening of any known type.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, la partie 8 par laquelle le poussoir-opercule 6 est relié à l'élément flexible 3, est constituée par un patin 6a solidaire du poussoir-opercule 6, comme cela se voit sur la figure 4.According to another embodiment, the part 8 by which the pusher-seal 6 is connected to the flexible element 3, is constituted by a pad 6a secured to the pusher-seal 6, as can be seen in FIG. 4.

En se reportant maintenant aux figures 5 à 7, on voit un contenant selon un autre mode de réalisation.Referring now to Figures 5 to 7, we see a container according to another embodiment.

Ici le contenant est caractérisé en ce que l'élément 3 a une largeur constante même dans sa partie la plus proche du poussoir 6 et que cette partie est traversée librement par un talon 11 d'un patin intérieur 12, ce talon 11 étant relié élastiquement au poussoir 6, au voisinage de la partie centrale de ce dernier.Here the container is characterized in that the element 3 has a constant width even in its closest part of the pusher 6 and that this part is freely traversed by a heel 11 of an inner shoe 12, this heel 11 being elastically connected to the pusher 6, in the vicinity of the central part of the latter.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le patin 12 est placé en regard d'une nervure 13 parallèle aux guides 4 de l'élément flexible 3 et est sollicité contre cette nervure 13 par un organe élastique tel qu'une corde à piano 14 qui traverse un passage 15 du talon 11 et prend appui sur deux bords 16 du poussoir 6 sensiblement parallèles au plan de l'élément 3, afin que le talon 11 et le poussoir 6 puissent être élastiquement écartés l'un de l'autre et élastiquement sollicités l'un vers l'autre.According to a characteristic of the invention, the shoe 12 is placed opposite a rib 13 parallel to the guides 4 of the flexible element 3 and is urged against this rib 13 by an elastic member such as a piano string 14 which passes through a passage 15 of the heel 11 and bears on two edges 16 of the pusher 6 substantially parallel to the plane of the element 3, so that the heel 11 and the pusher 6 can be elastically separated from one another and elastically stressed towards each other.

En se reportant à la figure 5, on voit que le poussoir 6 se trouve dans la partie rectiligne de son parcours c'est-à-dire en-deçà de la courbe de raccordement entre cette partie rectiligne et le plan d'obturation de l'ouverture 2.Referring to FIG. 5, it can be seen that the pusher 6 is located in the rectilinear part of its course, that is to say below the connection curve between this rectilinear part and the plane of obturation of the opening 2.

Derrière le guide 4 le plus intérieur, on a prévu un espace qui crée la nervure 13. Contre celle-ci, le patin 12 est appliqué élastiquement du fait que la corde à piano 14 prend appui sur deux bords 16 du poussoir 6 et que ce dernier est en appui sur le corps 1, de part et d'autre de la lumière 5.Behind the innermost guide 4, a space has been provided which creates the rib 13. Against this, the shoe 12 is applied elastically because the piano wire 14 is supported on two edges 16 of the pusher 6 and that this the latter is supported on the body 1, on either side of the light 5.

Les épaisseurs sont calculées de manière telle que le patin 12 s'appuie élastiquement contre la nervure 13 sans frottement excessif.The thicknesses are calculated in such a way that the shoe 12 bears elastically against the rib 13 without excessive friction.

Le talon 11 traverse l'élément flexible 3 par un trou 3a de dimensions telles que le talon 11 puisse traverser cet élément 3 tout en le laissant relativement libre mais, bien entendu, le talon 11 prend appui sur l'un ou l'autre des côtés transversaux du trou 3a, selon le sens dans lequel on agit sur le poussoir 6.The heel 11 passes through the flexible element 3 through a hole 3a of dimensions such that the heel 11 can pass through this element 3 while leaving it relatively free but, of course, the heel 11 is supported on one or the other of the transverse sides of the hole 3a, according to the direction in which one acts on the pusher 6.

Dans la position de la figure 5, la corde à piano 14 a une action assez faible et l'écartement X entre la face du poussoir 6 qui s'appuie sur le corps 1 et la face du patin 12 qui s'appuie sur la nervure 13 est minimum.In the position of FIG. 5, the piano cord 14 has a fairly weak action and the spacing X between the face of the pusher 6 which rests on the body 1 and the face of the shoe 12 which rests on the rib 13 is minimum.

Lorsque l'on fait rentrer le rouge à lèvres A dans l'étui, on agit sur le poussoir 6 dans le sens inverse de celui de la flèche F2. Pour pouvoir amener le poussoir 6 dans sa position d'obturation de l'ouverture supérieure 2, il est indispensable que l'ensemble mobile relié à l'élément flexible 3, à savoir poussoir 6 -patin 12 dépasse la partie courbe puis retrouve la partie rectiligne inclinée au droit de l'ouverture 2 (partie supérieure de l'étui, figure 6).When you put the lipstick A in the case, you act on the pusher 6 in the opposite direction to that of arrow F2. In order to be able to bring the pusher 6 into its position for closing the upper opening 2, it is essential that the movable assembly connected to the flexible element 3, namely pusher 6-pad 12 exceeds the curved part then finds the part straight inclined to the right of the opening 2 (upper part of the case, Figure 6).

Or, dans la position de cette figure 6, on voit que ce passage n'est possible que si le poussoir 6 et le patin 12 peuvent s'écarter l'un de l'autre, faute de quoi il y aurait coincement de l'ensemble mobile.However, in the position of this figure 6, we see that this passage is only possible if the pusher 6 and the shoe 12 can move away from each other, otherwise there would be jamming of the mobile assembly.

Avec le premier mode de réalisation, ceci est obtenu grâce au fait que la partie de l'élément flexible 3 s'étendait de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur jusqu'au poussoir extérieur 6 et constituait un organe intermédiaire élastique.With the first embodiment, this is obtained thanks to the fact that the part of the flexible element 3 extended from the inside towards the outside up to the outside pusher 6 and constituted an elastic intermediate member.

Ici, cela est obtenu grâce à l'élasticité transversale de la corde à piano 14 (figure 6).Here, this is achieved thanks to the transverse elasticity of the piano string 14 (Figure 6).

En effet, le patin 12 a obligatoirement une certaine longueur qui se place selon la corde par rapport à l'arc de cercle de la nervure 13 dans sa partie courbe. Dès lors, le talon 11 doit pouvoir entrer à l'intérieur de l'étui tandis- que le poussoir 6 reste contre le corps 1 et cela sur une longueur égale à la flèche correspondant à la corde et à l'arc énoncé ci-dessus, ce qui donne un écartement Y entre la face du poussoir 6 appliquée contre le corps 1 et la face du patin 12 appliquée contre la nervure 13, cette distance Y étant donc supérieure à la distance X.In fact, the shoe 12 must have a certain length which is placed along the cord relative to the arc of a circle of the rib 13 in its curved part. Consequently, the heel 11 must be able to enter the inside of the case while the pusher 6 remains against the body 1 and this over a length equal to the arrow corresponding to the rope and to the bow stated above. , which gives a spacing Y between the face of the pusher 6 applied against the body 1 and the face of the shoe 12 applied against the rib 13, this distance Y therefore being greater than the distance X.

Cette déformation élastique de l'ensemble est possible puisque la corde à piano 14 repose par ses extrémités sur les deux bords 16 du poussoir 6 (figure 6).This elastic deformation of the assembly is possible since the piano cord 14 rests at its ends on the two edges 16 of the pusher 6 (FIG. 6).

Dès que le poussoir 6 arrive au-delà de la zone courbe, au droit de l'ouverture 2, la corde à piano 14 rappelle élastiquement le talon 11 et le patin 12 de sorte que l'ensemble retrouve la position qu'il occupe sur la figure 5 mais, cette fois-ci, au droit de l'ouverture supérieure 2.As soon as the pusher 6 arrives beyond the curved zone, in line with the opening 2, the piano cord 14 elastically recalls the heel 11 and the shoe 12 so that the assembly returns to the position it occupies on Figure 5 but, this time, to the right of the upper opening 2.

Le poussoir 6 est ici caractérisé en ce qu'il présente une face extérieure creusée en cuvette afin de constituer un logement pour le talon 11 et pour la corde à piano 14, un couvercle 17 étant rapporté et maintenu en place par tous moyens connus pour dissimuler ces organes 11-14 et constituer une surface d'appui pour la manoeuvre de l'ensemble du poussoir 6.The pusher 6 is here characterized in that it has an outer face hollowed out in a bowl in order to constitute a housing for the heel 11 and for the piano string 14, a cover 17 being attached and held in place by all known means for concealing these members 11-14 and constituting a bearing surface for the operation of the entire pusher 6.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux (figure 7), les moyens pour maintenir en place le couvercle 17 sont constitués par des crochets 18 et 19 placés de part et d'autre de la corde à piano 14 pour assurer le maintien en place convenable de cette dernière.According to an advantageous embodiment (Figure 7), the means for holding in place the cover 17 are constituted by hooks 18 and 19 placed on either side of the piano string 14 to ensure the proper retention of this last.

Ici, les crochets 18 et 19 ont sensiblement la forme de harpons et sont déformables élastiquement du fait qu'ils sont constitués d'une seule pièce avec le couvercle 17 en matière synthétique. Ils sont engagés dans l'espace qui sépare les deux bords 16 de telle sorte qu'après avoir retrouvé leur position primitive, leurs extrémités en forme de harpons se trouvent sous les côtés adjacents aux bords 16.Here, the hooks 18 and 19 have substantially the shape of harpoons and are elastically deformable because they consist of a single piece with the cover 17 of synthetic material. They are engaged in the space which separates the two edges 16 so that after having returned to their original position, their harpoon-shaped ends are found under the sides adjacent to the edges 16.

La corde à piano 14 ayant une certaine longueur contrairement à la partie supérieure du talon 11 qui est relativement--mince, il pourrait se faire que la corde à piano se déplace obliquement puis finisse par quitter la position qui doit être la sienne. En prévoyant des crochets 18 et 19 de part et d'autre de cette corde à piano et en les prévoyant relativement écartés longitudinalement (figures 5 et 6), on assure le maintien de la corde à piano 14 qui ne peut pas pivoter et quitter sa position correcte.The piano cord 14 having a certain length unlike the upper part of the heel 11 which is relatively thin, it could happen that the piano cord moves obliquely then ends up leaving the position which must be its own. By providing hooks 18 and 19 on either side of this piano cord and by providing them relatively spaced apart longitudinally (Figures 5 and 6), it ensures the maintenance of the piano cord 14 which can not rotate and leave its correct position.

On voit que l'on assure un montage élastique du poussoir 6 par rapport au corps 1 ainsi qu'un guidage positif des mouvements relatifs du poussoir 6 et de l'élement flexible 3.It can be seen that there is an elastic mounting of the pusher 6 relative to the body 1 as well as positive guidance of the relative movements of the pusher 6 and of the flexible element 3.

Par ailleurs, le poussoir 6 étant guidé positivement jusqu'à sa position extrême d'obturation de l'ouverture 2, il est convenablement appliqué et maintenu en place.Furthermore, the pusher 6 being guided positively to its extreme position for closing the opening 2, it is suitably applied and held in place.

Son coulissement étant rendu aisé et souple par l'élasticité que procure le montage décrit ci-dessus, le poussoir 6 pourrait glisser accidentellement et démasquer un peu l'ouverture 2. Par l'espace ainsi créé, des poussières et petits déchets pourraient s'introduire et souiller l'intérieur de l'étui. Outre que cela pourrait nuire au coulissement des pièces le long des guides 4-13, le bâton de rouge serait lui-même sali.Its sliding being made easy and flexible by the elasticity provided by the assembly described above, the pusher 6 could accidentally slide and unmask a little the opening 2. By the space thus created, dust and small waste could s' introduce and soil the inside of the case. Besides that it could affect the sliding pieces along guides 4-13, the stick of red would itself be soiled.

Selon une variante de l'invention, on évite ces inconvénients en prévoyant que l'ensemble mobile relié à l'élément flexible 3, à savoir poussoir 6- patin 12, est muni de moyens susceptibles de coopérer avec un organe solidaire du corps 1 pour immobiliser élastiquement cet ensemble mobile en position d'obturation de l'ouverture 2.According to a variant of the invention, these drawbacks are avoided by providing that the mobile assembly connected to the flexible element 3, namely the 6-pad pusher 12, is provided with means capable of cooperating with a member integral with the body 1 for elastically immobilize this mobile assembly in the closed position of the opening 2.

Ces moyens peuvent consister en une languette et l'organe solidaire du corps 1 en un petit logement situé à l'extrémité du parcours du poussoir 6.These means may consist of a tongue and the member secured to the body 1 in a small housing located at the end of the path of the pusher 6.

Mais selon une variante préférée, les moyens dont est muni l'ensemble mobile sont constitués par des bossages latéraux 20 devant coopérer avec des encoches 21 situées sur les côtés de l'ouverture 2.But according to a preferred variant, the means with which the mobile assembly is provided are constituted by lateral bosses 20 which have to cooperate with notches 21 situated on the sides of the opening 2.

Les bossages 20 ont un profil arrondi, ainsi que les encoches 21, afin que leur coopération et leur séparation se produisent sans à-coup. L'entrée des bossages 20 dans les encoches 21 provoque un véritable encliquetage du fait que la corde à piano 14 sollicite en permanence le patin 12 vers la nervure 13 et donc dans la direction des encoches 21 prévues dans cette nervure 13. La sortie des bossages 20 hors des encoches 21 se fait donc à l'inverse en sollicitant la corde à piano 14.The bosses 20 have a rounded profile, as do the notches 21, so that their cooperation and separation occur smoothly. The entry of the bosses 20 into the notches 21 causes a real snap-fastening due to the fact that the piano wire 14 permanently biases the shoe 12 towards the rib 13 and therefore in the direction of the notches 21 provided in this rib 13. The exit of the bosses 20 outside the notches 21 is therefore done in reverse by stressing the piano string 14.

On voit qu'un intérêt de cette variante est de faire participer le montage élastique au fonctionnement de l'encliquetage.It is seen that an advantage of this variant is to involve the elastic mounting in the operation of the snap.

Le poussoir 6 est, ainsi, vigoureusement appliqué que le sommet du corps 1 et assure une obturation de l'ouverture 2 suffisamment étanche pour s'opposer à l'entrée des poussières-Ce poussoir est donc, à la fois, maintenu en regard de l'ouverture 2 et appliqué sur ses bords.The pusher 6 is thus vigorously applied as the top of the body 1 and ensures that the opening 2 is closed sufficiently tight to oppose the entry of the dust. This pusher is therefore, at the same time, kept facing opening 2 and applied to its edges.

En se reportant aux figures 8, 9 et 10, on voit que selon un autre mode de réalisation, un contenant conforme à l'invention est caractérisé en ce que le poussoir-opercule 6 est monté élastiquement du fait de la constitution en une matière souple au moins de son talon 6a et d'un patin 6b qui est solidaire du talon 6a et qui prend appui sur une nervure 13, ce patin6b étant de préférence arqué pour présenter une convexité dirigée vers le talon 6a selon une courbure telle que la distance x qui s'étend depuis les points d'appui du patin 6c contre la nervure 13 jusqu'au poussoir-opercule 6 soit sensiblement égale à la distance qui sépare la nervure 13 de la face extérieure la du corps 1 sur laquelle le poussoir-opercule 6 doit prendre appui.Referring to Figures 8, 9 and 10, we see that according to another embodiment, a container according to the invention is characterized in that the pusher-seal 6 is resiliently mounted due to the constitution of a flexible material at least its heel 6a and a pad 6b which is integral with the heel 6a and which bears on a rib 13, this pad 6b preferably being arched to present a convexity directed towards the heel 6a with a curvature such that the distance x which extends from the points of support of the shoe 6c against the rib 13 to the pusher-seal 6 is substantially equal to the distance which separates the rib 13 from the external face of the body 1 on which the pusher-seal 6 must bear.

Cela procure le même fonctionnement que celui décrit ci-dessus car c'est l'ensemble élastique qui joue le rôle de la corde à piano 14.This provides the same operation as that described above because it is the elastic assembly which plays the role of the piano string 14.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le patin 6b a des bords 6c qui sont substantiellement transversaux à l'axe de la nervure 13 et qui sont arrondis.According to a characteristic of the invention, the shoe 6b has edges 6c which are substantially transverse to the axis of the rib 13 and which are rounded.

On est ainsi assuré que lors des déplacements successifs du patin 6b il ne se produira pas d'usure, d'érosion ou de coincement avec l'entretoise lb.It is thus ensured that during successive displacements of the shoe 6b there will be no wear, erosion or jamming with the spacer lb.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention,des bossages latéraux 20 devant coopérer avec des encoches 21 situées sur les côtés de l'ouverture 2 sont prévus près de l'un des bords arrondis 6c, sur la face convexe du patin 6b.According to another characteristic of the invention, lateral bosses 20 having to cooperate with notches 21 situated on the sides of the opening 2 are provided near one of the rounded edges 6c, on the convex face of the shoe 6b.

On obtient ainsi les mêmes avantages que ceux décrits plus haut c'est-à-dire que le poussoir-opercule 6 se trouve élastiquement maintenu en place lorsqu'il se trouve au droit de l'ouverture 2.The same advantages are thus obtained as those described above, that is to say that the valve member 6 is resiliently held in place when it is in line with the opening 2.

Le fait que le poussoir-opercule 6, le talon 6a et le patin 6b sont obtenus par moulage en une seule pièce, permet également de réaliser en une seule pièce avec ces éléments l'élément flexible 3 et éventuellement l'organe 7 d'extraction du contenu A.The fact that the valve member 6, the heel 6a and the shoe 6b are obtained by molding in a single piece, also makes it possible to produce in a single piece with these elements the flexible element 3 and possibly the extraction member 7 of content A.

L'ensemble du contenant se résume alors en trois pièces: deux demi-coquilles constituant, par collage, le corps 1 et une pièce unique comprenant l'élément flexible 3, l'organe 7 et le poussoir-opercule 6.The entire container is then summed up in three parts: two half-shells constituting, by gluing, the body 1 and a single part comprising the flexible element 3, the member 7 and the pusher-seal 6.

Selon l'invention, les guides internes 4 ainsi que la fa e extérieure la du corps 1, sur laquelle le poussoir-opercule 6 doit prendre appui par sa face interne 6e, ayant un profil courbe qui raccorde leurs profils rectilignes au droit de l'ouverture 2 et au droit de la lumière 5, la courbure du patin 6b a un rayon intermédiaire entre ceux que la neryure 13 d'une part et une entretoise interne lb du corps 1 d'autre part présentent dans la zone de profil courbe, ledit patin 6b s'étendant entre la nervure 13 et l'entretoise lb.According to the invention, the internal guides 4 as well as the external fa of the body 1, on which the pusher-seal 6 must bear by its internal face 6e, having a curved profile which connects their rectilinear profiles to the right of the opening 2 and in line with the light 5, the curvature of the shoe 6b has an intermediate radius between those which the groove 13 on the one hand and an internal spacer lb of the body 1 on the other hand present tent in the curved profile area, said shoe 6b extending between the rib 13 and the spacer lb.

On voit sur la figure 9 que le patin 6b passe sans possibilité de coincement le coude constitué par le profil courbe de la nervure 13 et de l'entretoise lb, lesquelles suivent le profil courbe des guides internes 4 et de la face extérieure la du corps 1.We see in Figure 9 that the shoe 6b passes without possibility of jamming the elbow formed by the curved profile of the rib 13 and the spacer lb, which follow the curved profile of the internal guides 4 and the outer face of the body 1.

La matière choisie pour le moulage doit être suffisamment souple pour être élastique mais doit présenter "du nerf" pour ne pas perdre, avec le temps, sa capacité de sollicitation élastique permanente.The material chosen for molding must be flexible enough to be elastic but must have "nerve" so as not to lose, over time, its capacity for permanent elastic stress.

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux seuls modes de réalisation décrits et représentés mais en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes.The invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown but on the contrary embraces all variants.
