Description

L'invention concerne un applicateur à curseur pour produit solidifié, tels les produits qui deviennent solides à la température ambiante.The invention relates to a slider applicator for solidified products, such as products which become solid at room temperature.

Un applicateur pour un produit solidifié comporte généralement un corps creux et un capuchon amovible formant un étui destiné à loger ledit produit, et un mécanisme d'entraînement en translation de va-et-vient pour faire sortir et rétracter ce dernier. De tels applicateurs sont utilisés pour des produits cosmétiques, par exemple des déodorants, des fards, mais aussi pour des produits pharmaceutiques, des produits ménagers comme du cirage, ou encore d'autres produits de consommation courante comme de la colle, etc, ou tout autre produit analogue.An applicator for a solidified product generally comprises a hollow body and a removable cap forming a case intended to accommodate said product, and a mechanism for driving back and forth in translation to make the latter come out and retract. Such applicators are used for cosmetic products, for example deodorants, make-up, but also for pharmaceutical products, household products such as shoe polish, or other products of current consumption such as glue, etc., or any other similar product.

Tous ces produits solidifiés de consistance cireuse s'appliquent par frottement et se présentent sous forme de bâtons ou de pains, d'où l'appellation courante de stick.All these solidified products with a waxy consistency are applied by rubbing and come in the form of sticks or breads, hence the common name of stick.

Les applicateurs connus sont d'un usage malaisé car lorsque l'on a retiré le capuchon, il y a lieu de tenir le corps et de manipuler le mécanisme généralement à vis pour faire monter le produit de telle sorte qu'il n'est pas possible de faire fonctionner ce type d'applicateur d'une seule main après le retrait du capuchon.Known applicators are difficult to use because when the cap has been removed, it is necessary to hold the body and manipulate the mechanism, generally with a screw, to raise the product so that it is not it is possible to operate this type of applicator with one hand after removing the cap.

En outre, le remplissage du produit avant solidification est souvent difficile.In addition, filling the product before solidification is often difficult.

Le brevet US-A-2,415,306 décrit toutefois un applicateur du type précité, ayant en outre un mécanisme comportant un socle support pour le produit, monté mobile dans le corps et muni d'un prolongement qui s'étend à l'opposé du produit et qui coopère avec un curseur pourvu d'une patte de liaison qui traverse le corps, ledit curseur étant aménagé de manière mobile à l'extérieur dudit corps de telle sorte que son actionnement entraîne un mouvement de translation équivalent du socle et donc du produit.Patent US-A-2,415,306 describes, however, an applicator of the aforementioned type, further having a mechanism comprising a support base for the product, mounted movably in the body and provided with an extension which extends opposite the product and which cooperates with a slider provided with a connecting lug which passes through the body, said slider being arranged movably outside said body so that its actuation causes an equivalent translational movement of the base and therefore of the product.

L'inventeur propose un dispositif simple à fabriquer et pratique d'utilisation, lequel, par rapport à cet art connu, est notamment remarquable en ce que le prolongement du socle coopère avec le curseur au moyen d'une bague qui est destinée à venir se fixer autour du prolongement du socle et qui est reliée au curseur par ladite patte de liaison.The inventor proposes a device which is simple to manufacture and practical to use, which, compared with this known art, is notably remarkable in that the extension of the base cooperates with the slider by means of a ring which is intended to come fix around the extension of the base and which is connected to the cursor by said tab link.

Ainsi, on comprend que son usage est particulièrement aisé et qu'il peut être utilisé d'une seule main.Thus, it is understood that its use is particularly easy and that it can be used with one hand.

Selon un mode de réalisation dans lequel le corps présente une fente longitudinale destinée à laisser passer et à guider la patte de liaison du curseur, ladite fente comporte un élargissement transversal formant une ouverture dans le corps pour le passage de la bague lors de l'assemblage des éléments constitutifs de l'applicateur. La paroi du corps peut en outre être pourvue d'une rainure dans laquelle se déplace le curseur.According to an embodiment in which the body has a longitudinal slot intended to allow passage and to guide the connecting tab of the cursor, said slot comprises a transverse widening forming an opening in the body for the passage of the ring during assembly constituent elements of the applicator. The wall of the body can also be provided with a groove in which the cursor moves.

Avantageusement, le prolongement du socle est tubulaire et vient s'introduire sur une cheminée intérieure qui est aménagée sur le fond du corps d'où elle fait saillie.Advantageously, the extension of the base is tubular and is introduced onto an interior chimney which is arranged on the bottom of the body from which it projects.

Dans ce cas par exemple, la cheminée intérieure du corps est tubulaire et débouche par une ouverture du corps vers l'extérieur tandis que le prolongement tubulaire du socle débouche dans celui-ci et qu'un bouchon est prévu pour obturer ladite ouverture vers l'extérieur de telle sorte qu'il est possible de remplir l'applicateur par ladite ouverture avec le produit à l'état liquide ou pâteux avant solidification.In this case, for example, the internal chimney of the body is tubular and opens out through an opening of the body towards the outside while the tubular extension of the base opens out therein and a plug is provided to close said opening towards the outside so that it is possible to fill the applicator through said opening with the product in the liquid or pasty state before solidification.

L'invention offre ainsi un mode de remplissage particulièrement avantageux. De préférence dans ce cas, le capuchon présente une partie intérieure formant joint d'étanchéité en coopérant avec une partie correspondante du corps lorsque ledit capuchon est en place sur ledit corps.The invention thus offers a particularly advantageous filling method. Preferably in this case, the cap has an inner part forming a seal by cooperating with a corresponding part of the body when said cap is in place on said body.

De plus, par exemple, le socle pour le produit présente une partie périphérique formant piston qui coulisse de manière sensiblement étanche dans le corps.In addition, for example, the base for the product has a peripheral part forming a piston which slides in a substantially sealed manner in the body.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, toutes les pièces constitutives sont fixées les unes aux autres par la coopération de nervures et rainures conjuguées et notamment la bague avec le prolongement du socle, le bouchon d'obturation avec le corps, le joint avec le capuchon.According to a preferred embodiment, all the constituent parts are fixed to each other by the cooperation of conjugated ribs and grooves and in particular the ring with the extension of the base, the closure plug with the body, the seal with the cap.

L'invention sera bien comprise et d'autres particularités apparaîtront à la lecture de la description qui va suivre et qui se réfère aux dessins annexés dans lesquels:

  • la figure 1 est une élévation en demi-coupe d'un applicateur selon l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une coupe selon II-II de la figure 1,
  • la figure 3 montre à plus grande échelle la partie inférieure de la figure 2,
  • la figure 4 montre le corps vide et sans curseur du côté opposé à celui de la figure 1,
  • la figure 5 montre l'applicateur prêt à l'emploi,
  • la figure 6 montre l'applicateur retourné pour son remplissage,
  • la figure 7 est une vue de dessus de la figure 5.
The invention will be clearly understood and other particularities will appear on reading the description which follows and which refers to the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a half-sectional elevation of an applicator according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 is a section on II-II of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 shows on a larger scale the lower part of FIG. 2,
  • FIG. 4 shows the empty body without cursor on the side opposite to that of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 5 shows the applicator ready for use,
  • FIG. 6 shows the applicator returned for filling,
  • FIG. 7 is a top view of FIG. 5.

Le mode de réalisation représenté sur les dessins à titre d'exemple comporte un corps creux 1 de section sensiblement ovale (figure 7) et un capuchon amovible 2 (figures 1, 2, 5 et 6).The embodiment shown in the drawings by way of example comprises a hollow body 1 of substantially oval section (FIG. 7) and a removable cap 2 (FIGS. 1, 2, 5 and 6).

Le corps 1 et le capuchon 2 forment un étui destiné à loger un bâton ou pain d'un produit 3 solidifié (figure 5).The body 1 and the cap 2 form a case intended to accommodate a stick or bread of a solidified product 3 (FIG. 5).

Le corps est pourvu d'une cheminée centrale intérieure 4 qui fait saillie de son fond (figures 1, 2 et 3).The body is provided with an interior central chimney 4 which projects from its bottom (FIGS. 1, 2 and 3).

La cheminée 4 est tubulaire cylindrique tandis qu'elle est obturée vers l'extérieur par un bouchon 5 (figures 1, 2, 3 et 6) pourvu d'une jupe 5′ destinée à s'introduire dans ladite cheminée.The chimney 4 is cylindrical tubular while it is closed towards the outside by a plug 5 (Figures 1, 2, 3 and 6) provided with a skirt 5 'intended to be introduced into said chimney.

Le pain de produit 3 montré à la figure 5 est maintenu dans un socle 6 (figures 1 à 3).The product bread 3 shown in Figure 5 is held in a base 6 (Figures 1 to 3).

Le socle 6 présente une partie périphérique à double lèvre formant piston 6′ et un prolongement tubulaire 6˝ dirigé vers le fond du corps 1, ledit prolongement étant débouché d'un bout à l'autre, pour notamment recevoir la cheminée 4 qui s'introduit dans ledit prolongement.The base 6 has a peripheral part with double lip forming piston 6 ′ and a tubular extension 6˝ directed towards the bottom of the body 1, said extension being opened from one end to the other, in particular for receiving the chimney 4 which s introduced in said extension.

Comme le montrent les figures 2, 3, 5 et 6, un curseur extérieur 7 cranté et de forme sensiblement rectangulaire est monté de manière mobile à l'extérieur du corps 1 dans une rainure de dimension correspondante 8 ménagée dans la paroi dudit corps.As shown in Figures 2, 3, 5 and 6, a notched outer cursor 7 of substantially rectangular shape is movably mounted outside the body 1 in a dimension groove 8 corresponding in the wall of said body.

Le curseur 7 est solidaire d'une bague 9 qui est destinée à venir se fixer autour et vers l'extrémité du prolongement 6˝ du socle 6 (figures 1 à 3), ladite bague 9 étant reliée au curseur 7 par une patte de liaison 10 (figures 2 et 3) qui traverse une fente longitudinale 11 (figures 2, 3 et 4) ménagée dans la rainure 8 du corps 1.The slider 7 is integral with a ring 9 which is intended to be fixed around and towards the end of the extension 6˝ of the base 6 (Figures 1 to 3), said ring 9 being connected to the slider 7 by a connecting tab 10 (Figures 2 and 3) which passes through a longitudinal slot 11 (Figures 2, 3 and 4) formed in the groove 8 of the body 1.

La fente 11 s'élargit dans sa partie supérieure par une fenêtre transversale 12 (figure 4) destinée, comme il sera expliqué ci-après, au passage de la bague 9 lors de l'assemblage des éléments constitutifs de l'applicateur, cette ouverture 12 restant en outre masquée par le curseur quelle que soit la position de celui-ci.The slot 11 widens in its upper part by a transverse window 12 (FIG. 4) intended, as will be explained below, for the passage of the ring 9 during the assembly of the constituent elements of the applicator, this opening 12 remaining further masked by the cursor whatever the position thereof.

De plus, la partie piston 6′ du socle 6 lorsqu'il est en position basse comme représenté sur tous les dessins, reste au-dessus de ladite ouverture 12.In addition, the piston part 6 ′ of the base 6 when it is in the low position as shown in all the drawings, remains above said opening 12.

Comme le montrent plus spécialement les figures 1 et 2, le capuchon 2 est pourvu d'un joint rapporté 13 de forme concave pour former un moule pour le produit comme il sera expliqué ci-après.As shown more particularly in Figures 1 and 2, the cap 2 is provided with an attached gasket 13 of concave shape to form a mold for the product as will be explained below.

Le joint 13 est pourvu de deux lèvres périphériques 14, 15 (figures 1 et 2) qui réalisent entre-elles une rainure destinée à recevoir une extrémité amincie 16 du corps en fermant celui-ci de façon étanche. Le corps 1 est en outre pourvu d'un épaulement 17 destiné à stopper le capuchon 2.The seal 13 is provided with two peripheral lips 14, 15 (FIGS. 1 and 2) which form between them a groove intended to receive a thinned end 16 of the body by closing it tightly. The body 1 is further provided with a shoulder 17 intended to stop the cap 2.

Comme on peut le constater, le mode de réalisation décrit ci-avant comporte seulement six pièces, moulées par exemple par injection, à savoir: le corps 1, le capuchon 2 et son joint rapporté 13, le socle 6, le curseur 7 (pourvu et solidaire de la bague 9) et le bouchon 5.As can be seen, the embodiment described above comprises only six parts, molded for example by injection, namely: the body 1, the cap 2 and its attached seal 13, the base 6, the slider 7 (provided and secured to the ring 9) and the plug 5.

En outre, toutes ces pièces sont particulièrement faciles à assembler et selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, l'assemblage ne nécessite aucun autre moyen car elles peuvent toutes se fixer par élasticité les unes dans les autres par la coopération de nervures ou joncs et de rainures ou gorges conjuguées.In addition, all these parts are particularly easy to assemble and according to an advantageous embodiment, the assembly does not require any other means because they can all be fixed by elasticity in one another by the cooperation of ribs or rods and grooves or conjugated grooves.

C'est ainsi par exemple comme le montrent les dessins, que le joint 13 peut être fixé dans le capuchon 2 par des manchons conjugués d'emboîtement à nervures et rainures tels que respectivement les manchons 18, 19 (figures 1 et 2), que la bague 9 peut se fixer sur le prolongement 6˝ (après l'introduction de ladite bague par l'ouverture 12 du corps et l'introduction du socle 6 par la partie supérieure ouverte du corps), de même que le bouchon 5 peut se fixer dans le fond du corps 1 par coopération de nervures et de gorges ménagées sur les pièces correspondantes. De la sorte, on comprend bien qu'après cet assemblage, le socle 6 et la bague 9 sont prisonniers du corps 1. De façon semblable, le capuchon 2 peut se fixer élastiquement de manière amovible par des nervures courtes 20 du corps (figures 1 et 4) et des gorges correspondantes du capuchon (outre le maintien déjà obtenu par le joint 13).Thus, for example, as shown in the drawings, that the seal 13 can be fixed in the cap 2 by conjugate interlocking sleeves with ribs and grooves such as the sleeves 18, 19 respectively (FIGS. 1 and 2), the ring 9 can be fixed on the extension 6˝ (after the introduction of said ring through the opening 12 of the body and the introduction of the base 6 through the open upper part of the body), as well as the plug 5 can be fixed in the bottom of the body 1 by cooperation of ribs and grooves formed on the corresponding parts. In this way, it is well understood that after this assembly, the base 6 and the ring 9 are trapped in the body 1. Similarly, the cap 2 can be removably elastically fixed by short ribs 20 of the body (Figures 1 and 4) and corresponding grooves of the cap (in addition to the support already obtained by the gasket 13).

Ce type d'assemblage simple permet de plus d'assurer une certaine étanchéité entre les pièces. A cet effet, on prévoit aussi, par exemple, une nervure intérieure dans le prolongement 6˝ du socle qui vient ainsi frotter sur la paroi extérieure de la cheminée 4.This type of simple assembly also ensures a certain seal between the parts. For this purpose, there is also provided, for example, an internal rib in the extension 6˝ of the base which thus rubs against the external wall of the chimney 4.

Etant donné l'étanchéité assurée entre le joint 13 et le corps 1, entre le piston 6′ et le corps 1, entre le prolongement 6˝ et la cheminée 4, entre le bouchon 5, le corps 1 et la cheminée 4, on comprend bien la méthode de remplissage représentée à la figure 6.Given the seal provided between the seal 13 and the body 1, between the piston 6 ′ and the body 1, between the extension 6˝ and the chimney 4, between the plug 5, the body 1 and the chimney 4, we understand the filling method shown in Figure 6.

Après retournement (figure 6), il suffit en effet de remplir par la cheminée 4 et le prolongement 6˝, le volume 21 (figures 1 et 2) compris entre le socle 6 la paroi latérale interne du corps 1 et le joint 13 par un produit à l'état plus ou moins visqueux et d'obturer ensuite la cheminée 4 avec le bouchon 5 afin d'obtenir après refroidissement le pain ou bâton du produit tel que 3 (figure 5), lequel reste ancré dans le piston 6′ du socle notamment par exemple par une nervure interne 22 ménagée dans ledit piston 6′ (figures 1 et 2).After turning over (FIG. 6), it suffices to fill through the chimney 4 and the extension 6 prolong, the volume 21 (FIGS. 1 and 2) comprised between the base 6 the internal side wall of the body 1 and the seal 13 with a product in a more or less viscous state and then close off the chimney 4 with the plug 5 so as to obtain, after cooling, the bread or stick of the product such as 3 (FIG. 5), which remains anchored in the piston 6 ′ of the base in particular for example by an internal rib 22 formed in said piston 6 ′ (FIGS. 1 and 2).

L'utilisation est ensuite simple puisqu'il suffit de retirer le capuchon 2, ce qui est facilité par la rainure 8 et éventuellement aussi par un petit évidement tel que 23 (figures 1 et 2) ménagé sur l'autre face du corps, le produit 3 se présentant alors débordant du corps.The use is then simple since it suffices to remove the cap 2, which is facilitated by the groove 8 and possibly also by a small recess such as 23 (Figures 1 and 2) formed on the other face of the body, the product 3 then presenting itself overflowing from the body.

Pour sortir davantage le produit, notamment pour compenser au fur et à mesure son usure, on actionne le curseur 7 vers le haut (par rapport aux figures 1 à 5), la patte 10 pouvant coulisser dans la fente 11, tandis que la bague 9 entraîne le produit 3 par l'intermédiaire du socle 6 dont le prolongement 6˝ coulisse sur la cheminée 4. Le positionnement extrême vers le haut est obtenu lorsque la patte 10 vient en butée dans le haut de l'ouverture 12.To further remove the product, in particular to compensate for its wear and tear, the cursor 7 is actuated upwards (relative to FIGS. 1 to 5), the tab 10 being able to slide in the slot 11, while the ring 9 drives the product 3 through the base 6 whose extension 6˝ slides on the chimney 4. The extreme upward positioning is obtained when the tab 10 comes into abutment at the top of the opening 12.

On comprend que l'on peut bien entendu rétracter le produit par un mouvement inverse du curseur, la position extrême dans ce sens du prolongement 6˝ étant, par exemple, déterminée par un épaulement 24 prévu à la base de ladite cheminée 4 (figures 1 à 3).It is understood that one can of course retract the product by a reverse movement of the cursor, the extreme position in this direction of the extension 6˝ being, for example, determined by a shoulder 24 provided at the base of said chimney 4 (Figures 1 to 3).

De nombreuses variantes peuvent évidemment être imaginées sans sortir du cadre de l'invention défini par les revendications, notamment dans certains moyens d'assemblage, dans le positionnement et la forme du curseur, comme dans la forme générale du corps qui peut présenter une toute autre section, circulaire ou polygonale par exemple.Many variations can obviously be imagined without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the claims, in particular in certain means of assembly, in the positioning and the shape of the cursor, as in the general shape of the body which may have a completely different section, circular or polygonal for example.
