- the subject of the invention is a case for a lipstick stick and analogous to respectively rotating concentric sheaths with drive axial of a bucket-slider carrying a stick of pasty substance, of the type which includes a device for braking in rotation and for taking up axial play between the sheaths constituted by a collar, attached or not, secured to the base of the internal sheath and having at least one flexible extension which carries elastically against the edge of the base of the outer sheath, characterized in that that the sheaths are linked to each other by reciprocal non-blocking snap-fastening near the internal collar-sheath connection.
- the collar can be an attached part subject to the internal sheath by snap-on, gluing, welding or press fitting.
- the collar In order to make waterproof cases, the collar, or the internal sheath, has a solid background.
- the assembly of the mechanism with an outer casing is facilitated if the collar, or the internal sheath has an axial tubular part, at least of which the lower end is open, for receiving the base of an envelope decorative of the case.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne l'industrie du conditionnement et plus particulièrement celle des étuis de stockage et de manipulation de bâtons de substance pâteuse ou friable à appliquer par frottement sur une surface solide, telle que rouge à lèvres ou autre cosmétique, crayon de maquillage, de marquage ou médicamenteux, colle.The present invention relates to the packaging industry and more particularly that of storage cases and handling of sticks pasty or brittle substance to be applied by rubbing on a solid surface, such as lipstick or other cosmetic, makeup pencil, marking or medicated, glue.
On utilise couramment, depuis longtemps, des étuis dans lesquels le bâton est maintenu par sa base dans un godet-curseur que l'on fait coulisser axialement, à la demande, pour faire sortir de l'étui ou l'y réintégrer, l'extrémité libre du bâton. Ce coulissement peut être effectué simplement par déplacement digital d'un bouton-poussoir latéral solidaire du godet-curseur et faisant saillie extérieurement d'une fente longitudinale de l'étui. Mais le plus souvent on a recours à un mécanisme rotatif à deux gaines concentriques coopérantes creusées respectivement l'une de deux rainures en spirale, et l'autre de deux fentes longitudinales réciproquement traversées par deux ergots radiaux solidaires du godet-curseur.Cases have been used for a long time in which the stick is held by its base in a sliding bucket which is slid axially, on request, to remove or reinsert the case, the free end of the stick. This sliding can be done simply by digital movement of a side push button secured to the cursor-bucket and projecting externally from a longitudinal slot of the case. But the most often a rotary mechanism with two concentric sheaths is used cooperants dug respectively one of two spiral grooves, and the other two longitudinal slots reciprocally crossed by two radial lugs attached to the bucket-cursor.
La clientèle apprécie une manipulation douce et régulière des
mécanismes rotatifs, ce qui implique un minimum de jeu entre les éléments
mobiles et un effort de déplacement contrôlé. Les tolérances mécaniques
inévitables des pièces moulées industriellement qui constituent généralement la
totalité, ou presque, des éléments de ces mécanismes ne permettent pas
d'atteindre pleinement ces objectifs. On a donc recours à des dispositifs de
freinage, avec ou sans rattrapage de jeu. On a proposé de nombreux dispositifs à
patins de freinage radiaux insérés entre les deux gaines, tels ceux décrits dans
les brevets français No 1 417 277, 2 657 238, 2 670 998, qui peuvent assurer
un freinage convenable et un bon centrage des gaines, mais sont sans effet sur le
jeu axial, beaucoup plus difficile à maítriser que le jeu diamétral. Pour rattraper
le jeu axial on a proposé des assemblages rainure cylindrique-nervure circulaire
tronconique comme dans le brevet français No 2 169 557, qui peuvent assurer
un bon calage axial mais sans élasticité, donc au détriment de la régularité et de
la douceur de manipulation du mécanisme.Customers appreciate gentle and regular handling of
rotary mechanisms, which implies a minimum of play between the elements
mobile and a controlled movement effort. Mechanical tolerances
inevitable industrially molded parts which generally constitute the
almost all of the elements of these mechanisms do not allow
fully achieve these goals. We therefore have recourse to
braking, with or without backlash. Many devices have been proposed.
radial brake pads inserted between the two sheaths, such as those described in
French patents No 1,417,277, 2,657,238, 2,670,998, which can provide
proper braking and good centering of the sheaths, but have no effect on the
axial play, much more difficult to control than the diametral play. To catch up
axial play, cylindrical groove-circular rib assemblies have been proposed
frustoconical as in
L'invention a pour but un mécanisme rotatif ne présentant pas les inconvénients des mécanismes antérieurs, et qui est fiable, de fonctionnement régulièrement doux, adapté aux impératifs de fabrication et d'assemblage industriels, et peu onéreux.The object of the invention is a rotary mechanism which does not have the disadvantages of the previous mechanisms, and which is reliable, of operation regularly soft, adapted to manufacturing and assembly requirements industrial, and inexpensive.
L'invention a pour objet un étui pour bâton de rouge à lèvres et analogues à gaines concentriques respectivement rotatives avec entraínement axial d'un godet-curseur porteur d'un bâton de substance pâteuse, du type qui comporte un dispositif de freinage en rotation et de rattrapage de jeu axial entre les gaines constitué par un collet, rapporté ou non, solidaire de la base de la gaine interne et présentant au moins un prolongement flexible qui porte élastiquement contre la tranche de la base de la gaine externe, caractérisé en ce que les gaines sont liées l'une à l'autre par encliquetage réciproque non bloquant à proximité de la liaison collet-gaine interne.The subject of the invention is a case for a lipstick stick and analogous to respectively rotating concentric sheaths with drive axial of a bucket-slider carrying a stick of pasty substance, of the type which includes a device for braking in rotation and for taking up axial play between the sheaths constituted by a collar, attached or not, secured to the base of the internal sheath and having at least one flexible extension which carries elastically against the edge of the base of the outer sheath, characterized in that that the sheaths are linked to each other by reciprocal non-blocking snap-fastening near the internal collar-sheath connection.
Le collet peut être une pièce rapportée assujettie à la gaine interne par encliquetage, collage, soudure ou emmanchement à force.The collar can be an attached part subject to the internal sheath by snap-on, gluing, welding or press fitting.
Il a avantageusement une section en U, V ou W dont une branche latérale, éventuellement dentelée, est flexible.It advantageously has a U, V or W section including a branch lateral, possibly serrated, is flexible.
Afin de réaliser des étuis étanches, le collet, ou la gaine interne, a un fond plein.In order to make waterproof cases, the collar, or the internal sheath, has a solid background.
L'assemblage du mécanisme avec une enveloppe extérieure est facilité si le collet, ou la gaine interne présente une partie tubulaire axiale, dont au moins l'extrémité inférieure est ouverte, pour la réception du culot d'une enveloppe décorative de l'étui.The assembly of the mechanism with an outer casing is facilitated if the collar, or the internal sheath has an axial tubular part, at least of which the lower end is open, for receiving the base of an envelope decorative of the case.
Dans un mode de réalisation, le sommet de la paroi latérale externe du collet est surmonté d'arceaux élastiques.In one embodiment, the top of the outer side wall of the collar is topped with elastic arches.
En variante, le collet est en forme de couronne entourée de dents parallèles à l'axe, dont les extrémités libres sont réunies par des arceaux élastiques.As a variant, the collar is in the form of a crown surrounded by teeth parallel to the axis, the free ends of which are joined by poles elastic.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, la base du collet à section en U coudé est liée à un prolongement tubulaire de la base de la gaine intérieure, la branche latérale du U côté gaine, éventuellement découpée en dents, porte élastiquement par son bord libre, éventuellement renforcé, contre la tranche de la gaine extérieure, tandis que la branche du U, non découpée, a un bord biseauté vers l'extérieur.According to another embodiment, the base of the U-shaped section collar bent is linked to a tubular extension of the base of the inner sheath, the lateral branch of the U sheath side, possibly cut into teeth, door elastically by its free edge, possibly reinforced, against the edge of the outer sheath, while the branch of the U, not cut, has an edge beveled outwards.
Suivant encore un autre mode de réalisation, le collet a une section générale en V dont la branche intérieure, pleine, est liée à un prolongement tubulaire de la base de la gaine intérieure, tandis que la branche extérieure éventuellement découpée en dents élastiques porte par son extrémité libre contre une partie tronconique extérieure de la tranche de l'extrémité de la gaine externe.According to yet another embodiment, the collar has a section general in V whose inner branch, full, is linked to an extension tubular from the base of the inner sheath, while the outer branch possibly cut into elastic teeth with its free end against an outer frustoconical part of the edge of the end of the sheath external.
Avec les mêmes éléments, on peut réaliser des mécanismes dont le freinage en rotation entre gaines est différent, lorsque le collet est une pièce rapportée assujettie à un prolongement tubulaire de la gaine interne à une distance de la tranche de la gaine externe déterminée par l'importance de l'effort de frottement désiré des dents élastiques du collet.With the same elements, we can realize mechanisms whose braking in rotation between ducts is different, when the collar is a part reported subject to a tubular extension of the internal sheath to a distance from the edge of the outer sheath determined by the amount of effort desired friction of the elastic teeth of the collar.
Dans un mode de construction original, la paroi interne de la gaine externe est creusée de deux rainures longitudinales diamétralement opposées débouchant seulement à la base de la gaine, tandis que la gaine interne est découpée par deux fentes en spirale diamétralement opposées débouchant seulement chacune à une extremité par une fente longitudinale se prolongeant par une rainure creusée dans la paroi interne de l'extrémité circulaire continue renforcée de la gaine interne.In an original construction method, the internal wall of the sheath external is dug with two diametrically opposite longitudinal grooves opening only at the base of the sheath, while the internal sheath is cut by two diametrically opposite spiral slots opening only each at one end by a longitudinal slot extending by a groove dug in the inner wall of the continuous circular end reinforced with internal sheath.
En ce cas, pour assurer éventuellement un meilleur maintien du godet-curseur dans les fentes et rainures des gaines, les parois latérales de celles-ci ont des sections triangulaires complémentaires de celles de deux tenons externes diamétralement opposés du godet-curseur qui s'y encastrent réciproquement pour l'entraínement axial du godet curseur par rotation relative des gainesIn this case, to possibly ensure better maintenance of the bucket-cursor in the slots and grooves of the sheaths, the side walls thereof triangular sections complementary to those of two external studs diametrically opposite of the bucket-slider which reciprocally fit therein for the axial drive of the cursor bucket by relative rotation of the sheaths
Il est généralement avantageux que le collet et les gaines soient de matières différentes afin d'obtenir de meilleures qualités de frottement et d'élasticité réciproques : par exemple, les gaines sont moulées en polypropylène ou avec sans charge ou polystyrène, tandis que le collet est moulé en polyoxyméthylène, polyéthylène haute densité, ou polymère fluoré.It is generally advantageous if the collar and the sheaths are of different materials in order to obtain better friction qualities and of reciprocal elasticity: for example, the sheaths are molded from polypropylene or with no filler or polystyrene, while the collar is molded in polyoxymethylene, high density polyethylene, or fluorinated polymer.

L'étui de rouge à lèvres, ou analogue, représenté sur la figure 1
comprend essentiellement un bâton 1 de cosmétique ou autre substance pâteuse,
représenté en trait interrompu, dont la base est logée dans un godet-curseur 2
muni extérieurement de deux tenons radiaux 3 diamétralement opposés,
représentés en pointillés, coulissant respectivement à travers l'une de deux fentes
spiralées opposées 4 d'une gaine interne 5, ainsi que, par leurs extrémités
respectives, dans l'une de deux rainures longitudinales internes opposées 6 d'une
gaine externe 7 coaxiale à la gaine interne 5. Sur la gaine externe est emboíté un
fourreau métallique tubulaire 8 ouvert à son sommet. Les deux gaines sont liées
l'une à l'autre vers leur base par un encliquetage non bloquant 9 qui leur laisse
une liberté de rotation réciproque avec faible jeu axial. Un collet 10 à section en
W est fixé par encliquetage bloquant 11 ou soudure, ou collage de sa paroi
médiane 12 à l'intérieur de l'extrémité libre de la gaine interne 7. La paroi
externe 13 du collet est prolongée par des arceaux flexibles 14, au nombre de
quatre dans cet exemple, qui portent élastiquement par leurs sommets contre la
tranche 15 de l'extrémité libre de la base de la gaine externe 7, assurant ainsi
un rattrapage de jeu axial entre les deux gaines ainsi qu'un freinage souple de
leur rotation réciproque.The lipstick case, or the like, shown in Figure 1
essentially comprises a
Chacune des fentes spiralées 4 de la gaine interne 5 débouche à sa base
dans un tronçon de fente longitudinale 23 se prolongeant par une rainure 24
creusée dans la paroi interne de l'extrémité circulaire continue renforcée 25 de
la gaine. Cette structure assure une bonne rigidité de la gaine interne (figure 5)
malgré les découpes de sa paroi latérale.Each of the
Dans la partie tubulaire axiale interne de la paroi interne 16 du collet est
emmanché à force, ou collé, ou soudé, ou encliqueté, ou autrement bloqué, un
prolongement tubulaire interne axial 17 de la base du culot 18 d'une enveloppe
décorative de l'étui complétée `par une coiffe 19 dont le fond présente
intérieurement un prolongement tubulaire axial 20 qui vient s'emmancher à
frottement doux à l'intérieur de l'ouverture libre de la gaine interne 5.In the internal axial tubular part of the
Le collet 10a, représenté en variante sur la figure 3, ne diffère de celui
de la figure 2 que par la fermeture du sommet de la paroi interne du collet par
une paroi 21 qui assure ainsi un bouchage étanche de la base de la gaine
interne 5.The
L'autre variante de collet 10b représentée sur la figure 4 s'adapte sur
l'étui de la figure 1 de la même façon que les collets 10 et 10a des figures 2 et
3. Dans cette variante les arceaux 14b relient les extrémités libres de dents 22
régulièrement réparties en couronne faisant saillie de la paroi externe 13b du
collet. Cette structure facilite le moulage. Le mécanisme d'étui suivant
l'invention représenté sur la figure 6 comprend essentiellement des éléments
analogues à ceux de l'étui de la figure 1. A sa différence, il ne comporte pas de
fourreau métallique, la gaine externe 7c est creusée de deux rainures hélicoïdales
opposées 4c alors que c'est la gaine interne 5c qui est découpée par deux fentes
longitudinales opposées 6c. Cette disposition inverse de celle des gaines de l'étui
de la figure 1 fonctionne de la même façon pour assurer la translation du godet-curseur
2c par ses tenons 3c. Les deux gaines 5c et 7c sont liées à leur base par
un encliquetage non bloquant 9c tandis qu'un collet 10c à fond borgne 21c, à
section en W, est rendu solidaire de l'extrémité de la gaine interne 5c par une
liaison bloquante 11c avec sa paroi médiane 12c. La paroi externe 13c du collet
est découpée en une pluralité de dents flexibles 26c dont les extrémités libres
viennent porter élastiquement contre la tranche 15c de l'extrémité de la gaine
externe 7c. Dans cet exemple, l'extrémité renforcée annulairement 25c de la
gaine interne assure à la fois la liaison libre 9c avec la gaine externe et
l'assujettissement bloqué 11c avec la gaine interne.The other variant of
Dans l'exemple de la figure 8 on retrouve une gaine externe 7d creusée
intérieurement de deux rainures longitudinales 6d coiffée d'un fourreau 8d, et
une gaine interne 5d découpée par deux fentes hélicoïdales 4d comme dans
l'exemple de la figure 1. Mais ici les rainures et les fentes débouchent au
sommet, cependant que la gaine externe présente à sa base un repli
annulaire 27d dont l'extrémité circulaire interne est liée à la paroi latérale
externe d'un prolongement tubulaire ouvert 28d de la gaine interne 5d par un
encliquetage non bloquant 9d. Sur cette même paroi est fixée, par collage ou
soudure de préférence, la paroi cylindrique interne 16d d'un collet 10d à section
en V (figure 9) dont la paroi externe tronconique flexible 13d porte
élastiquement contre la partie biseautée 29d du raccordement de la paroi externe
de la gaine externe à son repli annulaire. Suivant l'effort de freinage et de
rattrapage de jeu désiré entre les deux gaines on positionnera le collet 10d plus
ou moins enfoncé sur le prolongement tubulaire avant de le fixer : ainsi, sur la
moitié gauche de la figure 8 le collet est représenté au minimum d'enfoncement
et procure un minimum d'effort de freinage et de rattrapage de jeu, tandis que
sur la moitié droite il est représenté au maximum d'enfoncement et procure un
maximum d'effet. En variante, comme représenté sur la figure 10, la paroi
externe flexible 13e du collet 10e est découpée en une pluralité de dents 26e
d'une plus grande élasticité que la paroi continue 13d du collet des figures 8 et
9.In the example of Figure 8 we find an external sheath 7d dug
internally of two
Principalement lorsque c'est la gaine interne du mécanisme qui est
découpée par des fentes hélicoïdales, comme dans les exemples des figures 1 et
8, il y a un risque de déformation par dilatation de la gaine sous la contrainte
des tenons du godet-curseur lors des manipulations de l'étui, qui peut
éventuellement inciter les tenons à échapper des rainures. On peut prévenir ce
risque en conférant aux rainures 6 et aux fentes 4 des gaines 5, 7 des parois à
sections triangulaires complémentaires de celles des tenons 3 du godet-curseur 2,
comme représenté sur la figure 11.Mainly when it is the internal sheath of the mechanism which is
cut by helical slots, as in the examples in Figures 1 and
8, there is a risk of deformation by expansion of the sheath under stress
pins of the bucket-cursor when handling the case, which can
possibly encourage the posts to escape from the grooves. We can prevent this
risk by giving the
