Definitions

  • the invention relates to an applicator case for solidified product. and more particularly for lipstick stick, deodorant, or similar. It concerns even more particularly, but not exclusively, a case for samples of cosmetic products, thanks to a simplified structure, however retaining a body language classic.
  • Known mechanisms include, for example, support for the product, which is mounted translational and which can be actuated by a button or cursor.
  • the extensions present screwing means which cooperate with combined means provided on the base, guiding means in translation (US document) or in rotation (EP document) being further provided in the body.
  • the invention provides a simple case to manufacture and assemble of the aforementioned type, and in particular in which, as in the document EP-A-0 383 670, the combined means of the support and of the body include screwing means, but which is remarkable in that the means conjugates of the support and the base comprise means of attachment in rotation and guiding in free translation so that the rotation of the base in one direction causes a joint rotation of the support in the same direction and thus a screwing or unscrewing of the support in the body.
  • the combined means for securing in rotation and guiding in translation of the support and the base are constituted by at least one axial rib arranged on the inner face of the base and at least one corresponding axial groove formed on the extension of the support, while the combined means of screwing the support and of the body are constituted by a helical groove formed on part of the height of the extension of the support and at least one lug arranged on the inside of the body.
  • each axial groove formed on the extension of the support extends from one side to the end of said extension and on the other side, up to the vicinity of part of the helical groove of said support so that each lug of the body is guided in a corresponding axial groove during the assembly of the support in the body and comes into force in the helical groove, arriving at the end of said groove axial, by simple axial pressure.
  • This arrangement is particularly advantageous since it avoids assembly by screwing as in the aforementioned US document, but without having to provide an extension in the form of a flat rod provided of an elastic fork and which is in any case incompatible with the above characteristics according to the invention.
  • the extension of the support comprises two diametrically opposite axial grooves, intended to cooperate in operation with two corresponding ribs of the base, and, during the assembly of the support in the body, with two lugs of said body, while the ends of said grooves widen in V at the end of the extension, until they are not separated from each other only by a point so that said lugs of the body, then the ribs of the base, are guided automatically in said grooves during said assembly.
  • the product is arranged on the support but can obviously in no case be cast and molded in the case itself, as for example in the system of the aforementioned EP document or the system described in the document FR-A-2653643.
  • an embodiment according to the invention is remarkable in that the extension of the support is tubular and opens at its ends respectively in the cup and the side which enters the base, which is also tubular with a free open but closable end, while that the body can be closed by a tight cap forming a gasket so that it is possible to fill the applicator case with the free end of the pellet with the product in a liquid or pasty state, which flows in the support to thus mold and solidify in the body closed by said sealed cap.
  • the tubular base has a first tubular part in which the body is fixed, free rotation, and a lower part with a skirt inner tubular into which the extension is introduced of the support and through which the product can be poured.
  • said cover is provided to come also surround and attach to the first part of the base.
  • the applicator case comprising a cover as mentioned above
  • the cap has a handle, fixed on the top, of elastic material, which comes into contact with the cover in closed position so that said handle serves, on the one hand, gripper for removing said cap and, on the other part, of elastic support means for a tight closure by means of the pressure exerted by said cover.
  • the applicator case according to the invention essentially comprises five parts: a body 1 ( Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4), a base 2 ( Figures 1, 2, 5 and 6), a mobile support 3 for the product ( Figures 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9), a cap 4 forming a seal ( Figures 1 and 10) and a cover 5, for example in transparent material, ( Figure 1).
  • the body 1 and the base 2 are two fixed tubular elements between them in translation, but free in rotation, by means, for example, an outer peripheral rib 6 provided at one end of body 1 (see more particularly FIG. 3), which is intended to snap under corresponding ribs interior, such as 7a, 7b, provided at the bottom of the tubular part upper 2a of the base 2 ( Figures 1, 2, 5 and 6).
  • the body 1 also has two diametrically opposite lugs, such as 8a, 8b ( Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4), which protrude towards the interior.
  • the base 2 which is open at its two ends, has besides in its lower part 2b an inner tubular skirt 9 provided with a flange 10 arranged at its end open towards the outside.
  • the inner tubular skirt 9 is provided with two ribs axial, diametrically opposite 11a, 11b and at the top rounded ( Figures 1, 2, 5 and 6) of which only one is shown on the figure 1 for clarity and since a single rib could suffice.
  • Under the ribs 7a, 7b of the base are further provided lights 12a, 12b and facing said ribs but on the wall outer part 2a of the base, a peripheral rib is provided 13, intended to cooperate with projections such as 14, provided on the inner face of the cover 5 for fixing ( Figure 1).
  • the cup 3a has grooves 16 for retaining the product and a peripheral lip 17 at its free end, intended for come into contact with the internal wall of the body 1.
  • the cup 3a is open at the bottom, while the support 3 comprises a tubular extension 3b which extends from said cup 3a with which it communicates and forms a continuous conduit.
  • the extension 3b of the support is provided with a helical groove 18 over part of its height, and below, two grooves diametrically opposite axial one of which 19 is visible on the figure 7.
  • Each groove 19 extends from one side to the vicinity of the helical groove 18 and on the other side, to the end of the extension 3b by forming enlargements 20 which widen in a V. In this way, the axial grooves 19 are separated from each other by two points 21a and 21b ( Figure 7).
  • cap 4 forming a seal is here provided with a hemispherical dome 4th (others shapes are obviously conceivable, more particularly on the inner face of said dome), an outer skirt 4b and a handle of grip 4c.
  • the cap 4 comes to cap the body 1, the end edge of which is introduced into a circular groove 4d of said cap, as as shown in Figure 1.
  • the handle 4c is used to grip the cap, as it will explained below, but its size is such that it is in contact with cover 5 in the closed position, as shown in the figure 1.
  • the base 2 is first of all clipped onto the body 1, as already explained, by cooperation of the ribs 6, 7a, 7b.
  • the support 3 is then introduced into the body 1 by its extension 3b by simple axial thrust.
  • the ribs 11a, 11b of the base 2 will be introduced automatically in the grooves 19 when the extension 3b is introduced in the skirt 9 of the base 2 which is free to rotate by relation to the body 1.
  • the base 2 is then closed, for example by means of a label shown diagrammatically at 22 in FIG. 1, intended to close off the skirt 9 by sticking to the edge 10.
  • the lugs 8a, 8b of the body 1 cooperate with the helical groove 18 creating a movement of unscrewing the support and a projection of it towards the end of the body 1 allowing the stick product 15 to protrude (Figure 2) with the understanding that ribs 11a, 11b of the base slide in the axial direction in the ribs 19 of support 3. In the opposite direction, the extension 3b of the support 3 is screwed into
  • the body 1 and said support 3 can resume the position shown in the figure 1.
