Description

La présente invention concerne l'industrie du conditionnement des substances en bâton, telles que les rouges à lèvres, les crayons et autres produits cosmétiques, aussi bien que des bâtons hémostatiques et autres produits pharmaceutiques, ou encore des cirages et autres produits d'entretien.The present invention relates to the packaging industry for stick substances, such as lipsticks, pencils and other cosmetic products, as well as hemostatic sticks and other pharmaceutical products, or even polishes and other cleaning products.

De telles substances sont généralement conditionnées dans des étuis protecteurs d'où l'on fait sortir le bâton au moment de l'emploi par glissement d'une tirette ou rotation d'un bouton de commande. Une manoeuvre inverse fait rentrer le bâton à l'abri de l'étui jusqu'à la prochaine utilisation.Such substances are generally packaged in protective cases from which the stick is taken out at the time of use by sliding a zipper or rotating a control button. A reverse maneuver returns the stick sheltered from the case until the next use.

Dans certains étuis à tirette, le bâton est supporté par un godet solidaire d'un ruban que l'on fait coulisser dans une rainure de l'étui s'incurvant perpendiculairement à l'axe de coulissement, c'est notamment le cas de l'étui décrit dans le brevet français n° 663-721. De tels étuis présentent l'avantage de pouvoir être manoeuvrés d'une seule main, mais la clientèle préfère le plus souvent les étuis à commande rotative bien qu'ils nécessitent l'usage des deux mains.In some zipper cases, the stick is supported by a bucket secured to a ribbon which is made to slide in a groove of the case curving perpendicular to the sliding axis, this is particularly the case of the case described in French patent n ° 663-721. Such cases have the advantage of being able to be operated with one hand, but the customers most often prefer cases with rotary control although they require the use of two hands.

Dans les étuis classiques à bouton de commande rotatif, le bâton est supporté par un godet qui coulisse à l'intérieur de deux gaines concentriques dont l'une, interne et liée en rotation au bouton de commande, présente deux lumières longitudinales diamètralement opposées, et l'autre, externe et relativement fixe, deux rainures hélicoïdales diamétralement opposées. Deux ergots radiaux issus du godet traversent respectivement chacune une lumière longitudinale pour pénétrer dans une rainure hélicoïdale. Ainsi, par rotation de la gaine interne au moyen du bouton, relativement à la gaine externe, le godet monte ou descend dans l'étui suivant le sens de rotation imprimé au bouton. De nombreux brevets ont décrit de tels étui, notamment le brevet français n° 916 237. Ces étuis rotatifs ont généralement les faveurs de la clientèle mais ils comprennent des éléments assez délicats à fabriquer et à assembler notamment du fait de la fragilité des gaînes ajourées.In conventional cases with a rotary control button, the stick is supported by a bucket which slides inside two concentric sheaths, one of which, internal and linked in rotation to the control button, has two diametrically opposite longitudinal slots, and the other, external and relatively fixed, two diametrically opposite helical grooves. Two radial lugs from the bucket each pass through a longitudinal lumen respectively to enter a helical groove. Thus, by rotation of the internal sheath by means of the button, relative to the external sheath, the bucket goes up or down in the case according to the direction of rotation printed on the button. Many patents have described such cases, in particular French patent n ° 916 237. These rotary cases generally have the favors of the customers but they include elements that are fairly delicate to manufacture and assemble, in particular because of the fragility of the openwork sleeves.

On connaît aussi par le document US-A-2 250 876 un étui pour bâton de substance non fluide applicable par frottement sur une surface, comprenant un corps tubulaire dans lequel coulisse un godet supportant le bâton, et une commande coaxiale au corps pivotant à une extrémité de l'étui pour faire coulisser le godet et faire sortir le bâton par une extrémité ouverte du corps ou, par rotation inverse, le faire rentrer dans le corps; le godet y est solidaire d'une extrémité d'au moins un élément filiforme enroulable, semi-flexible, c'est-à-dire flexible latéralement mais rigide longitudinalement, dont l'autre extrémité est solidaire d'un tambour d'enroulemant coaxial et solidaire de la commande pivotante; le corps tubulaire est creusé intérieurement d'au moins une rainure longitudinale de guidage pour chaque élément filiforme.Document US-A-2 250 876 also discloses a case for a stick of non-fluid substance applicable by friction on a surface, comprising a tubular body in which slides a bucket supporting the stick, and a control coaxial with the body pivoting at a end of the case to slide the bucket and bring out the stick through an open end of the body or, by reverse rotation, make it enter the body; the bucket is integral therewith with one end of at least one semi-flexible windable filiform element, that is to say flexible laterally but rigid longitudinally, the other end of which is integral with a coaxial winding drum and integral with the pivoting control; the tubular body is internally hollowed out with at least one longitudinal guide groove for each filiform element.

Selon ce document, la commande ne peut être tournée que dans un seul sens pour faire sortir le bâton.According to this document, the control can only be turned in one direction to take out the stick.

L'invention a pour but de réaliser un étui simple à réaliser, comprenant un minimum de pièces faciles à assembler, peu onéreux, et dont la commande puisse se tourner indifféremment dans un sens ou dans l'autre pour faire sortir le bâton.The object of the invention is to produce a case which is simple to produce, comprising a minimum of parts which are easy to assemble, inexpensive, and the control of which can be turned in either direction to remove the stick.

L'invention a pour objet un étui pour bâton pâteux, comprenant :
. un corps tubulaire dans lequel un godet destiné à por­ter le bâton est monté coulissant;
. une commande montée pivotante à une extrémité du corps;
. au moins un fil semi-rigide dont une extrémité s'insè­ re sur le godet et l'autre extrémité s'insère dans une zone d'un tambour d'enroulement formé sur un appendice de la commande;
. au moins une rainure longitudinale de guidage du fil formée dans le corps.The subject of the invention is a case for a pasty stick, comprising:
. a tubular body in which a bucket for carrying the stick is slidably mounted;
. a pivotally mounted control at one end of the body;
. at least one semi-rigid wire with one end inserted re on the bucket and the other end is inserted in an area of a winding drum formed on an appendix of the control;
. at least one longitudinal groove for guiding the wire formed in the body.

Selon l'invention, cet étui est caractérisé en ce que l'extrémité du fil insérée sur le tambour s'insère longitudinale­ment sur une zone latérale dudit tambour, et en ce qu'est prévu pour l'enroulement du fil un espace libre annulaire formé entre le tambour et le corps par :
. d'une part, un épaulement de la paroi intérieure du corps conduisant à une région de diamètre élargie dudit corps, cet épaulement se raccordant à ladite rainure longitudinale,
. d'autre part, un épaulement de la paroi extérieure du tambour conduisant à une région de diamètre élargi dudit tambour, ledit épaulement se raccordant à la zone d'insertion du fil sur le tambour.According to the invention, this case is characterized in that the end of the wire inserted on the drum is inserted longitudinally on a lateral zone of said drum, and in that there is provided for the winding of the wire an annular free space formed between the drum and the body by:
. on the one hand, a shoulder of the interior wall of the body leading to a region of enlarged diameter of said body, this shoulder connecting to said longitudinal groove,
. on the other hand, a shoulder of the outer wall of the drum leading to a region of enlarged diameter of said drum, said shoulder connecting to the zone of insertion of the wire on the drum.

Ainsi, en tournant la commande dans un sens ou dans l'autre, le fil dont l'extrémité est disposée longitudinalement se déforme-t-il spontanément entre les raccordements des deux épaule­ments en question de manière à s'enrouler dans un sens ou dans l'autre sur le tambour, au niveau dudit espace libre.Thus, by turning the control in one direction or the other, the wire whose end is arranged longitudinally deforms spontaneously between the connections of the two shoulders in question so as to wind in one direction or in the other on the drum, at said free space.

Avantageusement, la zone d'insertion du fil est formée par un méplat reliant deux régions de diamètre élargi dudit tambour.Advantageously, the wire insertion zone is formed by a flat connecting two regions of enlarged diameter of said drum.

Suivant un premier mode de réalisation, la commande pivotante est logée à la base de l'étui et prolongée à l'inté­rieur du corps par le tambour cylindrique dont la partie distale est d'un diamètre inférieur à celui de la partie proximale d'au moins deux fois le diamètre d'un élément filiforme et sert à l'enroulement, en regard dudit espace libre annulaire ménagé dans la paroi interne du corps tubulaire pour le logement des enroulements d'éléments filiformes, la partie distale du tambour étant reliée à la partie proximale, par ledit épaulement circulaire s'incurvant vers l'extrémité de chaque élément filiforme fixée dans la partie proximale, le tambour pré­sentant, en regard de chaque élément filiforme, ledit méplat dont la flèche est au moins égale au diamètre d'un élément filiforme.According to a first embodiment, the pivoting control is housed at the base of the case and extended inside the body by the cylindrical drum whose distal part is of a diameter less than that of the proximal part of at least twice the diameter of a filiform element and is used for winding, opposite said annular free space formed in the internal wall of the tubular body for housing the windings of filiform elements, the distal part of the drum being connected to the proximal part, by said circular shoulder bending towards the end of each filiform element fixed in the proximal part, the drum having, opposite each element filiform, said flat whose arrow is at least equal to the diameter of a filiform element.

Dans un deuxième mode de réalisation, l'étui comprend un fourreau tubulaire coulissant librement entre le corps et le godet, et creusé intérieurement d'au moins une rainure longitudinale de guidage pour chaque élément filiforme, dans le prolongement des rainures du corps, et présentant au voisinage de chacune de ses extrémités un épaulement intérieur de butée pour le godet, le fourreau entraîné par le godet, lui-même entraîné par les éléments filiformes, sortant télescopiquement du corps et y rentrant par rotation à volonté de la commande pivotante.In a second embodiment, the case comprises a tubular sheath sliding freely between the body and the bucket, and internally hollowed out with at least one longitudinal guide groove for each filiform element, in the extension of the grooves of the body, and having in the vicinity of each of its ends an internal abutment shoulder for the bucket, the sheath driven by the bucket, itself driven by the filiform elements, emerging telescopically from the body and returning therein by rotation at will of the pivoting control.

Suivant un troisième mode de réalisation, la commande pivotante, est logée au sommet de l'étui dont elle entoure l'extrémité ouverte, et est prolongée à l'intérieur de l'étui par une jupe annulaire servant de tambour d'enroulement dont l'extrémité distale présente un épaulement s'incurvant vers l'extrémité de chaque élément filiforme fixée dans la partie proximale de la jupe, et d'une épaisseur supérieure au diamètre d'un élément filiforme, un espace libre annulaire étant ménagé dans la paroi interne du corps tubulaire pour le logement des enroulements d'éléments filiformes en regard de la partie proximale de la jupe.According to a third embodiment, the pivoting control is housed at the top of the case, the open end of which it surrounds, and is extended inside the case by an annular skirt serving as a winding drum, the l the distal end has a shoulder curving towards the end of each filiform element fixed in the proximal part of the skirt, and of a thickness greater than the diameter of a filiform element, an annular free space being provided in the internal wall of the tubular body for housing the windings of filiform elements facing the proximal part of the skirt.

Il est généralement avantageux que les éléments filiformes soient au moins au nombre de deux, symétriquement répartis.It is generally advantageous for the filiform elements to be at least two, symmetrically distributed.

Dans un mode de réalisation pratique, la commande pivotante, le godet porte-bâton et les éléments filiformes constituent un ensemble monobloc, éventuellement moulé d'une seule pièce, la commande pivotante étant encliquetée, libre en rotation, dans une extrémité du corps.In a practical embodiment, the pivoting control, the stick-holding bucket and the filiform elements constitute a one-piece assembly, possibly molded in one piece, the pivoting control being snapped, free to rotate, in one end of the body.

La structure des étuis suivant l'invention se prête particulièrement bien à une réalisation de ses éléments en matière plastique transparente permettant d'apercevoir le bâton à l'intérieur de l'étui, et à son utilisateur d'en contrôler la couleur, dans le cas d'un produit de maquillage, sans sortir le bâton de l'étui.The structure of the cases according to the invention lends itself particularly well to an embodiment of its transparent plastic elements making it possible to see the stick inside the case, and to its user to control the color, in the case of a make-up product, without removing the stick from the case.

L'invention pourra être plus aisément comprise par l'examen et la description détaillée des dessins annexés qui représentent quelques modes de réalisation de l'invention, choisis simplement à titre d'exemple, parmi les nombreuses formes d'exécution, adaptations et variantes de l'invention accessibles à un technicien averti.The invention will be more easily understood by examining and detailed description of the appended drawings which represent some embodiments of the invention, chosen simply by way of example, from the numerous embodiments, adaptations and variants of the invention accessible to an informed technician.

L'étui représenté sur les figures 1 à 6 comprend essentiellement un corps sensiblement tubulaire 1 coiffé par un capot 20 et un ensemble (figures 4 à 6) comprenant une base 3, deux fils ou éléments filiformes 4,4′ et un godet 2 portant le bâton 10. Une extrémité 6,6′ des éléments filiformes est fixée latéralement sur la partie proximale 9 d'un appendice cylindrique coaxial ou tambour 17 prolongeant la base 3, dont la partie distale 7, également cylindrique mais de moindre diamètre, sert à l'enroulement pour les éléments filiformes. L'autre extrémité 5,5′ des éléments filiformes est fixée latéralement sur le godet. Les parties proximales et distales sont raccordées par un épaulement 12 qui s'incurve vers les extrémités 6,6′ des éléments filiformes pour se fondre dans un méplat 13 dans le prolongement de chaque extrémité d'élément filiforme; la flèche du méplat 13, peu supérieure au diamètre d'un élément filiforme permet son libre débattement en regard de la paroi interne du corps 1. Le diamètre de la partie distale 7 est sensiblement le même que celui du godet 2, peu inférieur au diamètre intérieur de la zone supérieure du corps 1 mais inférieur à celui de la partie proximale 9 d'environ deux fois le diamètre d'un élément filiforme. Le corps 1 est creusé intérieurement, dans la zone supérieure, de deux rainures longitudinales 8,8′ qui servent de guidage en coulissement pour les éléments filiformes. La section ouverte de ces rainures est homothétiquement un peu plus grande que celle des éléments filiformes pour leur assurer un bon guidage axial et une bonne contention latérale. Ces rainures débouchent à la base du corps 1 dans une zone inférieure et élargie formant une partie de diamètre intérieur peu supérieur à celui de la partie proximale 9, par un évasement incurvé 19 en sens inverse de celui de l'épaulement 12 séparant les parties distales 7 et proximales 9. Cet évasement 19 se prolonge par un épaulement ou rebord annulaire 21 dont le profil creux est homothétiquement un peu plus grand qu'un demi-­profil d'élément filiforme. Un espace libre anuulaire 11, ménagé entre l'épaulement 12 et le rebord 21, sert de logement pour les éléments filiformes enroulés sur la partie distale 7. La base 3 est encliquetée, libre en rotation, dans la base du corps 1 par une nervure annulaire 22. Un taquet 23 porté par la base 3 coopère avec des butées à l'extrémité du corps pour limiter 1a rotation de l'ensemble base-éléments filiformes-godet dans le corps entre les positions du bâton 10 rétracté et sorti. La base 3 de diamètre extérieur supérieur à celui du corps 1 sert de commande manuelle pivotante pour les manoeuvres de l'étui. Esthétiquement, son diamètre extérieur est avantageusement le même que celui du capot 20 et les couleurs du corps, du capot et de la base peuvent être identiques ou différentes.The case represented in FIGS. 1 to 6 essentially comprises a substantially tubular body 1 capped by a cover 20 and an assembly (FIGS. 4 to 6) comprising a base 3, two wires or filiform elements 4,4 ′ and a cup 2 carrying the stick 10. An end 6.6 ′ of the filiform elements is fixed laterally on the proximal part 9 of a coaxial cylindrical appendage or drum 17 extending the base 3, of which the distal part 7, also cylindrical but of smaller diameter, serves to the winding for the filiform elements. The other 5.5 ′ end of the filiform elements is fixed laterally on the bucket. The proximal and distal parts are connected by a shoulder 12 which curves towards the ends 6, 6 ′ of the filiform elements to merge into a flat 13 in the extension of each end of filiform element; the arrow of the flat 13, slightly greater than the diameter of a filiform element allows its free movement opposite the internal wall of the body 1. The diameter of the distal part 7 is substantially the same as that of the bucket 2, slightly less than the diameter inside the upper zone of the body 1 but less than that of the proximal part 9 of approximately twice the diameter of a filiform element. The body 1 is hollowed out internally, in the upper zone, by two longitudinal grooves 8,8 ′ which serve as sliding guide for the filiform elements. The open section of these grooves is slightly larger than that of the filiform elements to ensure good axial guidance and good lateral compression. These grooves open at the base of the body 1 in a lower and enlarged zone forming a part of internal diameter little greater than that of the proximal part 9, by a curved flaring 19 in the opposite direction to that of the shoulder 12 separating the distal parts. 7 and proximal 9. This flare 19 is extended by an annular shoulder or rim 21 whose hollow profile is homothetically a little larger than a half-profile of filiform element. An annular free space 11, formed between the shoulder 12 and the rim 21, serves as a housing for the filiform elements wound on the distal part 7. The base 3 is snapped, free to rotate, in the base of the body 1 by an annular rib 22. A cleat 23 carried by the base 3 cooperates with stops at the end of the body to limit the rotation of the base-filiform elements assembly- bucket in the body between the positions of the stick 10 retracted and extended. The base 3 of outer diameter greater than that of the body 1 serves as a pivoting manual control for the operations of the case. Aesthetically, its outside diameter is advantageously the same as that of the cover 20 and the colors of the body, the cover and the base can be the same or different.

Dans le deuxième mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 7 et 8, le mécanisme est inversé en ce que la commande manuelle pivotante 3a entoure l'ouverture du corps la et l'extrémité du bâton 10a en position bâton rétracté. Elle est prolongée à l'intérieur de l'étui par un tambour ou une jupe annulaire 17 dont la partie distale 9a sert à l'enroulement pour les éléments filiformes 4a reliant la partie proximale 7a de la jupe au godet 2a. Comme dans le premier mode de réalisation des figures 1 à 6, l'épaulement 12a séparant les parties proximales et distales de la jupe, ainsi que le rebord 21a délimitant l'extrémité évasée du corps dans laquelle pivote la partie proximale de la jupe sont incurvés en sens inverse vers l'extrémité 6a des éléments filiformes 4a fixés à la paroi externe de la partie proximale 7a pour les guider à l'enroulement dans un espace libre 11a ménagé entre l'épaulement 12a et le rebord 21a. Des rainures longitudinales creusées dans la paroi interne du corps 1a guident les éléments filiformes dans leur coulissement. Un socle borgne 24 ferme la base du corps par emboîtement.In the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the mechanism is reversed in that the pivoting manual control 3a surrounds the opening of the body 1a and the end of the stick 10a in the retracted stick position. It is extended inside the case by a drum or an annular skirt 17 whose distal part 9a is used for winding for the filiform elements 4a connecting the proximal part 7a of the skirt to the bucket 2a. As in the first embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 6, the shoulder 12a separating the proximal and distal parts of the skirt, as well as the rim 21a delimiting the flared end of the body in which the proximal part of the skirt pivots are curved in opposite direction towards the end 6a of the filiform elements 4a fixed to the external wall of the proximal part 7a to guide them to the winding in a free space 11a formed between the shoulder 12a and the flange 21a. Longitudinal grooves carved into the internal wall of the body 1a guide the filiform elements in their sliding. A blind base 24 closes the base of the body by interlocking.

Ce deuxième mode de réalisation présente l'avantage de permettre la réalisation d'étuis plus courts pour un même bâton.This second embodiment has the advantage of allowing the production of shorter cases for the same stick.

Le troisième mode de réalisation d'un étui suivant l'invention représenté sur les figures 9 et 10 reprend l'essentiel du premier mode de réalisation des figures 1 et 2 avec une commande pivotante 3b dans la base du corps 1b. Les rainures de guidage 8b,8′b des éléments filiformes 4b,4′b dans le corps 1b sont relativement réduites et débouchent dans une partie plus large 25 du corps 1b dans laquelle coulisse librement un fourreau tubulaire 14 à l'intérieur duquel coulisse le godet 2b portant le baton 10b. Ce fourreau est creusé intérieurement de rainures longitudinales 18,18′ dans le prolongement des rainures 8b,8′b du corps 1b pour le guidage des éléments filiformes 4b,4′b. A chaque extrémité le fourreau 14 présente intérieurement un épaulement 15,16 de butée limitant le coulissement du godet entre les extrémités du fourreau. Ainsi, lorsqu'on tourne la commande 3b pour dérouler les éléments filiformes 4b,4′b enroulés, le bâton se trouvant en position rétracté (figure 9), le godet 2b coulisse dans le fourreau 14 depuis la butée de base 16 jusqu'à la butée extérieure 15, puis entraîne le fourreau à l'extérieur du corps 1b jusqu'à déroulement complet des éléments filiformes figure 10. A ce moment, l'utilisateur dispose d'un support de bâton plus maniable, de longueur environ une fois et demi celle de l'étui fermé. Lorsqu'on enroule à nouveau les éléments filiformes pour faire rentrer le bâton dans l'étui, le godet 2b coulisse dans le fourreau 14 jusqu'à la butée de base 16 puis entraîne le fourreau dans le corps 1b jusqu'à fond figure 9.The third embodiment of a case according to the invention shown in Figures 9 and 10 incorporates the essentials of the first embodiment of Figures 1 and 2 with a pivoting control 3b in the base of the body 1b. The guide grooves 8b, 8′b of the filiform elements 4b, 4′b in the body 1b are relatively small and open into a wider part 25 of the body 1b in which slides freely a tubular sheath 14 inside which slides the bucket 2b carrying the stick 10b. This sheath is hollowed out internally with longitudinal grooves 18,18 ′ in the extension of the grooves 8b, 8′b of the body 1b for guiding the filiform elements 4b, 4′b. At each end, the sleeve 14 has internally an abutment shoulder 15, 16 limiting the sliding of the bucket between the ends of the sleeve. Thus, when the control 3b is turned to unwind the filiform elements 4b, 4′b wound, the stick being in the retracted position (FIG. 9), the bucket 2b slides in the sheath 14 from the base stop 16 to the outer stop 15, then drives the sheath outside of the body 1b until the filiform elements in Figure 10 are completely unwound. At this time, the user has a more manageable stick support, of length approximately once and half that of the closed case. When the filiform elements are rewound to bring the stick back into the case, the bucket 2b slides in the sheath 14 until the base stop 16 then drives the sheath in the body 1b as far as Figure 9.

Dans ces divers modes de réalisation, les éléments filiformes sont au nombre de deux, mais il est possible de concevoir des dispositifs analogues à un seul élément filiforme, ou trois, ou quatre, ou plus, régulièrement espacés les uns des autres, de préférence.In these various embodiments, the filiform elements are two in number, but it is possible to design devices similar to a single filiform element, or three, or four, or more, regularly spaced from each other, preferably.

L'ensemble godet-éléments filiformes-commande pivotante peut être réalisé par assemblage de ses diverses parties en matériaux divers par collage, soudure, emboîtement mécanique, ou autre moyen connu de solidarisation, avant montage dans le corps. Mais cet ensemble peut aussi bien être réalisé en une seule pièce, avantageusement moulée en matière plastique, par exemple en résine acétal. Le corps, le capuchon, éventuellement le forrreau et le socle peuvent aussi être réalisés en matériaux divers, mais on peut avantageusement les mouler en une matière plastique, par exemple en polystyrène.The bucket-filiform elements-pivoting control assembly can be produced by assembling its various parts made of various materials by gluing, welding, mechanical interlocking, or other known means of attachment, before mounting in the body. However, this assembly can equally well be produced in a single piece, advantageously molded in plastic material, for example in acetal resin. The body, the cap, possibly the sheath and the base can also be made of various materials, but they can advantageously be molded from a plastic material, for example from polystyrene.

Une partie, ou toutes les pièces de l'étui peuvent être aisément réalisées en matériaux transparents afin de permettre d'apercevoir le bâton à l'intérieur de l'étui et d'en apprécier l'aspect, notamment la couleur.Part or all of the pieces of the case can be easily made of transparent materials in order to allow the stick to be seen inside the case and to appreciate its appearance, in particular the color.

La structure particulière du mécanisme de translation du godet dans un étui suivant l'invention permet son application à des étuis de section de formes diverses, non de révolution, comme il était impératif avec les étuis à mécanisme classique à gaînes concentriques réciproquement rotatives. L'invention permet ainsi de combiner certains avantages des étuis à commande par tirette concernant la liberté de forme du bâton et de son étui, aux avantages de douceur de fonctionnement des étuis à commande rotative.The particular structure of the translation mechanism of the bucket in a case according to the invention allows its application to cases of section of various shapes, not of revolution, as was imperative with the cases of conventional mechanism with reciprocally rotating concentric sheaths. The invention thus makes it possible to combine certain advantages of the cases with control by zipper concerning the freedom of form of the stick and its case, with the advantages of smooth operation of the cases with rotary control.
