   einen Stiftträgerkörper , im allgemeinen mit der Bezugsnummer 3 angegeben , bestehend aus einem Rohrkörper einteilig in einer gewissen Höhe mit einer Auflagequerebene des Boden des Stiftes und mit wenigstens einer Nase oder Vorkragung (in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt) versehen , welche nach aussen vorspringt ;
   eine Verschlusskappe , im allgemeinen mit der Bezugsnummer 4 bezeichnet , bestehend aus einem hohlen zylindrischen Körper mit einer Gipfelwand .
With reference to the drawings, the container for cosmetic in stick form according to the invention conventionally comprises:
a protective and guiding body of the pin, generally indicated by the reference number 1 and designated intermediate body, consisting of a one-piece tubular element with a short upper part 5 having a larger outer diameter and a long lower part 6 having a smaller outer diameter than that of the first part the outer wall of the lower part is worked out along at least one generatrix in a known manner and not shown in the drawing, at least one slot;
an outer body consisting of a tubular element with a base, generally indicated by reference number 2 with two outer diameters, the smaller 7 towards the free end and the larger 8 towards the bottom, on the inner surface of which at least one groove (not shown in the drawing) is worked out;
a pin carrier body, generally indicated by the reference number 3, consisting of a tubular body in one piece at a certain height with a support transverse plane of the bottom of the pin and provided with at least one nose or protrusion (not shown in the drawing) which projects outwards;
a closure cap, generally designated by reference number 4, consisting of a hollow cylindrical body with a top wall.

Beim Zusammenbau der vorbeschrieben Bestandteile wird der Stiftträgerkörper 3 in den Zwischenkörper 1 eingeführt , u.zw. mit der betreffenden Nase gleitend gelagert in dem betreffenden Schlitz und aus diesem vorspringend , während der lange untere Teil 6 des Zwischenkörpers 1 in den Aussenkörper 2 eingeführt wird , u.zw. mit der Nase des Stiftträgerkörpers 3 im Eingriff mit der inneren Nut des Aussenkörpers 2 selbst .When assembling the components described above, the pin carrier body 3 is inserted into the intermediate body 1, etc. with the relevant nose slidably supported in the slot in question and projecting from it, while the long lower part 6 of the intermediate body 1 is inserted into the outer body 2, etc. with the nose of the pin carrier body 3 in engagement with the inner groove of the outer body 2 itself.

Mit den so zusammengebauten Bestandteilen wird eine gegenseitige Drehung der Körper 1 und 2 den Stiftträgerkörper 3 mit dem in ihm gelagerten Stift 12 in axialer Richtung verschieben .With the components assembled in this way, a mutual rotation of the bodies 1 and 2 will move the pin carrier body 3 with the pin 12 mounted in it in the axial direction.

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf jene Vorrichtungen , bei welchen die Verschlusskappe 4 auf Verschluss nur am Aussenkörper 2 angreift , derart um eine ungewollte Betätigung von aussen zu verhindern , d.h. sie bezieht sich auf jene Behälter , welche die waagrechte Gipfelhöhenebene zwischen Aussenkörper 2 und Zwischenkörper 1 gelegt haben , derart um im Bereich des Behälters zu liegen , welcher vorbereitet ist um von der Verschlusskappe 4 geschützt und überdeckt zu werden .The present invention relates to those devices in which the closure cap 4 only engages the closure on the outer body 2 in such a way as to prevent unwanted operation from the outside, i.e. it relates to those containers which have placed the horizontal summit height plane between the outer body 2 and the intermediate body 1, in order to lie in the region of the container which is prepared to be protected and covered by the closure cap 4.

Der Aussenkörper 2 hat in gewohnter Weise ein offenes Ende und einenverschlossenen Boden und weist nach aussen hin zwei Durchmesser auf , von denen jener zum Boden hin grösser und jener zum offenen Endehinkleiner ist , weshalb sich am Aussenkörper 2 eine Stufe 9 ausbildet , gegen die die Verschlusskappe 4 nach Aufsetzen zur Anlage kommt . Der kleinere Aussendurchmesser des Aussenkörpers 2 entspricht im wesentlichen dem Innendurchmesser der Verschlusskappe 4 .The outer body 2 has an open end and a closed bottom in the usual way and has two diameters towards the outside, of which the diameter is larger towards the bottom and that towards the open end is smaller, which is why a step 9 is formed on the outer body 2 against which the closure cap 4 comes to the system after touchdown. The smaller outside diameter of the outside body 2 essentially corresponds to the inside diameter of the closure cap 4.

Der Zwischenkörper 1 ist mit offenen Enden versehen und hat den Teil 6 äusseren Durchmessers gleich dem Inpendurchmesser des Körpers 2 und den Teil 5 von einem Durchmesser entsprechend dem kleineren Aussendurchmesser des Körpers 2 , derart um eine peripherische Stufe 10 zu bilden , welche die waagrechte Gipfelhöhenebene des oberen Teils 5 des Körpers 1 mit der freien oberen Ebene des Körpers 2 festlegt . Auch wenn der in der Zeichnung gezeigte Aussendurchmesser des Teils 5 des Zwischenkörpers 1 der bevorzugte ist , steht nichts dagegen , dass der genannte Durchmesser grösser oder Kleiner ist als der Aussendurchmesser des kleineren Querschnittes des Aussenkörpers 2 .The intermediate body 1 is provided with open ends and has the part 6 of the outer diameter equal to the inverted diameter of the body 2 and the part 5 of a diameter corresponding to the smaller outer diameter of the body 2, in such a way as to form a peripheral step 10 which forms the horizontal summit height plane of the upper Part 5 of the body 1 with the free upper level of the body 2 defines. Even if the outer diameter of the part 5 of the intermediate body 1 shown in the drawing is the preferred, there is nothing to prevent the said diameter from being larger or smaller than the outer diameter of the smaller cross section of the outer body 2.

Wie in der Zeichnung veranschaulicht ist die alleinige waagrechte Gipfelhöhenebene der Basis des Teiles 5 grösseren Aussendurchmessers des Zwischenkörpers 1 mit dem oberen Rand des Aussenkörpers 2 mit Abstand von der Endebene , oder vom freien Rand , des Zwischenkörpers 1 gelegen , derart , wie in Fig. 1 veranschaulicht , um den Finger der einen Hand zur Betätigung des Stiftes 2 einen Griff zu bieten , während der entsprechende Griff der Finger der anderen Hand am unteren Teil des Aussenkörpers 2 ist . Diese in den Figuren 2 und 3 von der Stufe 10 bestimmte Gipfelhöhenebene ist mit einem Abstand inbegriffen zwischen 3 mm und 20 mm vom freien Rand des Zwischenkörpers 1 gelegen , und diese Positionierung gestattet es in äusserst einfacher Weise einen der Gegenstände der vorliegenden Erfindung zu verwirklichen , u.zw. gestattet es während des Gebrauches des Stiftes die beiden Körper 1 und 2 miteinender zu verriegeln , indem das ungewünschte Zurückweichen des Stiftes vermieden wird , und zwar mittels der Verwendung der alleinigen normalerweise verwendeten Finger für den Gebrauch des Stiftes und unabhängig von der Länge des Behälters , wenn dieser ohne Verschlusskappe 4 ist .As illustrated in the drawing, the sole horizontal summit height plane of the base of the part 5 of larger outer diameter of the intermediate body 1 with the upper edge of the outer body 2 is located at a distance from the end plane, or from the free edge, of the intermediate body 1, as in FIG. 1 illustrates to provide a grip for the finger of one hand to actuate the pin 2, while the corresponding grip is the finger of the other hand on the lower part of the outer body 2. This summit height plane, determined by the step 10 in FIGS. 2 and 3, is located at a distance between 3 mm and 20 mm from the free edge of the intermediate body 1, and this positioning allows one of the objects of the present invention to be realized in an extremely simple manner, etc. allows the two bodies 1 and 2 to be locked together during use of the pen by the undesired retraction of the pen is avoided by using the only normally used fingers for the use of the pen and regardless of the length of the container when it is without a cap 4.

Wie gesagt und in den Zeichnungen veranschaulicht ist diese Gipfelhöhenebene zwischen den Körpern 1 und 2 praktisch an einer wenig geringeren Höhe als die Ebene positioniert , bei der der Stift , neu und in zurückgezogener Lage , seine grösste Länge erreicht , derart , dass , wenn der genannte obere Teil 5 des Zwischenkörpers 1 aus durchsichtigem Material hergestellt ist , oder durchsichtig gemacht wurde , es möglicht ist von der Aussenseite des Behälters bei abgenommener Verschlusskappe 4 durch diesen Teil nur den den Profil seiner Spitze entsprechenden Teil des Stiftes zu sehen , wobei es weiters möglich ist die spezifische Farbe des Stiftes festzustellen und der Rest des Stiftes der Sicht des Verbrauchers verborgen bleibt und durch den Aussenkörper 2 oder seine etwaige metallische Verkleidung 11 gegen Lichtstrahlungen geschützt ist .As said and illustrated in the drawings, this summit height plane between bodies 1 and 2 is practically positioned at a slightly lower height than the plane at which the pin, new and in a retracted position, reaches its greatest length, such that when the said upper part 5 of the intermediate body 1 is made of transparent material, or has been made transparent, it is possible from the outside of the container with the closure cap 4 removed through this part to see only the part of the pin corresponding to the profile of its tip, it being further possible determine the specific color of the pen and the rest of the pen remains hidden from the view of the consumer and is protected against light radiation by the outer body 2 or its metallic cover 11.

Wenn die Verschlusskappe 4 in Ubereinstimmung mit der Spitze des Stiftes aus durchsichtigem Material hergestellt ist , oder durchsichtig gemacht wurde , ist es weiters möglich das Profil der Spitze und dessen Farbe unmittelbar von der Aussenseite des Behälters bei aufgesetzter Verschlusskappe 4 wahrzunehmen .If the cap 4 is made in accordance with the tip of the pin from transparent material, or has been made transparent, it is also possible to profile the tip and its color directly from the outside of the container when attached Perceive cap 4.

In der Fig. 2 liegt die Spitze des Stiftes 12 an der gleichen Höhe des oberen freien Endes des Teiles 5 des Zwischenkörpers 1 , während sie in der Fig. 3 auf einer geringeren Höhe liegt , u.zw. gleich dem Sicherheitsabstand zwischen der vorgenannten Spitze und der inneren Gipfelwand der Verschlusskappe 4 . Diese Verwirklichung gestattet es dem Übelstand abzuhelfen , wenn Verschlusskappe 4 und Zwischenkörper 1 gemeinsam aus durchsichtigem Material hergestellt sind durch Transparenz eine durch den Rand des oberen Endes des Körpers 1 verursachte Bilddiskontinuität der Spitze des Stiftes zu sehen , wenn sich dieses obere Ende an einer geringeren Höhe der inneren Gipfelwand der Verschlusskappe 4 befindet . Diese Verwirklichung gestattet es weiter , wenn es erforderlich sein sollte , die Oberfläche des für den Griff vonseiten der Finger nützlichen Teiles 5 zu erhöhen .In Fig. 2, the tip of the pin 12 is at the same height of the upper free end of the part 5 of the intermediate body 1, while in Fig. 3 it is at a lower height, etc. is the safety distance between the aforementioned tip and the inner top wall of the closure cap 4. This realization makes it possible to alleviate the problem when the closure cap 4 and the intermediate body 1 are made of transparent material together by means of transparency to see an image discontinuity of the tip of the pen caused by the edge of the upper end of the body 1 when this upper end is at a lower height the inner top wall of the cap 4 is located. This realization further allows, if it should be necessary, to increase the surface of the part 5 useful for finger grip.

Die Erfindung wurde vorstehend nur beispielsweise in nicht einschränkender Form beschrieben und erläutert . So wären auch alle jene Abänderungen möglich , welche sich bei der Herstellung und bei der praktischen Anwendung als nützlich erweisen sollte , ohne damit aus dem Rähmen der anliegenden Ansprüche abzuweichen .The invention has only been described and explained above, for example, in a non-limiting form. Thus, all those modifications would be possible which should prove useful in production and in practical use, without thereby departing from the scope of the appended claims.
