Abstract

The packaging device comprises a product housing (240) and a piston (250) movable in the housing. A piston drive mechanism comprises a first element (220) able to rotate relative to a second element (210) to cause piston displacement. There is a collar (280) enabling relative rotation of the two elements over a first angular path to be transformed into a relative axial displacement of the two elements.

Description

La présente invention concerne les dispositifs de conditionnement et d'application d'un produit, et plus particulièrement mais non exclusivement ceux contenant un rouge à lèvres liquide.The present invention relates to packaging devices and of application of a product, and more particularly but not exclusively those containing a liquid lipstick.

De nombreux dispositifs de conditionnement et de distribution de rouge à lèvres liquide ont été proposés, comportant un logement pour contenir le produit, un piston mobile dans ce logement pour chasser le produit et un mécanisme d'entraínement du piston comportant un premier élément pouvant tourner par rapport à un deuxième élément afin de provoquer un déplacement axial du piston dans le logement.Numerous packaging and distribution devices for red to liquid lips have been proposed, comprising a housing for containing the product, a movable piston in this housing for expelling the product and a drive mechanism of the piston comprising a first element which can rotate relative to a second element in order to cause an axial displacement of the piston in the housing.

Lorsque le produit est liquide, une fuite peut se produire en cas de surpression dans le logement qui le contient, en raison par exemple d'une élévation de la température.When the product is liquid, a leak can occur in the event of overpressure in the housing that contains it, for example due to a rise in temperature.

Il existe par conséquent un besoin pour bénéficier d'un dispositif de conditionnement et de distribution capable de réduire les risques de fuite de produit, qui soit de construction relativement simple et peu coûteux à réaliser, ainsi que d'un fonctionnement fiable et d'une esthétique satisfaisante.There is therefore a need to benefit from a packaging and distribution capable of reducing the risk of product leakage, which either relatively simple and inexpensive to construct, as well as a reliable operation and satisfactory aesthetics.

L'invention vise notamment à répondre à ce besoin.The invention aims in particular to meet this need.

Elle y parvient grâce à un nouveau dispositif de conditionnement et de distribution d'un produit, notamment un produit liquide, comportant un logement pour le produit, un piston mobile dans ce logement pour chasser le produit, un mécanisme d'entraínement du piston comportant un premier élément pouvant tourner par rapport à un deuxième élément afin de provoquer un déplacement axial du piston dans le logement, au moins à partir d'une certaine course en rotation de l'un des éléments par rapport à l'autre, ce dispositif étant caractérisé par le fait qu'il comporte une bague permettant de transformer une rotation relative des deux éléments, sur une première course angulaire dans le sens de la distribution du produit, en un déplacement axial relatif des deux éléments, cette bague étant agencée pour pouvoir d'une part tourner avec le premier élément durant ladite première course angulaire et pour coopérer avec le deuxième élément de manière à provoquer ledit déplacement axial et d'autre part, lorsque la rotation relative des deux éléments se poursuit au-delà de la première course angulaire, pouvoir tourner par rapport au premier élément en étant entraínée en rotation par le deuxième élément. It achieves this thanks to a new packaging and distribution of a product, in particular a liquid product, comprising a housing for the product, a piston movable in this housing to expel the product, a mechanism piston drive comprising a first element which can rotate relative to a second element in order to cause an axial displacement of the piston in the housing, at the less from a certain rotational travel of one of the elements relative to the other, this device being characterized by the fact that it comprises a ring making it possible to transform a relative rotation of the two elements, on a first angular stroke in the direction of product distribution, in a relative axial displacement of the two elements, this ring being arranged to be able on the one hand to rotate with the first element during said first angular stroke and to cooperate with the second element so as to cause said axial displacement and on the other hand, when the rotation relative of the two elements continues beyond the first angular travel, power rotate relative to the first element being rotated by the second element.

Grâce à l'invention, les deux éléments précités peuvent se déplacer axialement sous l'effet d'une surpression dans le logement contenant le produit pendant le stockage, ce mouvement permettant de créer une augmentation du volume du logement contenant le produit, tendant à annuler ladite surpression.Thanks to the invention, the two aforementioned elements can move axially under the effect of an overpressure in the housing containing the product during storage, this movement making it possible to create an increase in the volume of the accommodation containing the product, tending to cancel said overpressure.

Dans une réalisation particulière, la bague est montée sur le premier élément, par exemple par encliquetage, avec une possibilité de rotation par rapport à cet élément si une force d'entraínement suffisante est exercée sur la bague. En particulier, le premier élément peut présenter en partie supérieure une jupe de montage et la bague être encliquetée dans cette jupe de montage, tout en pouvant tourner par rapport à cette jupe de montage si un couple suffisant est exercé.In a particular embodiment, the ring is mounted on the first element, for example by snap-fastening, with a possibility of rotation relative to this element if a sufficient driving force is exerted on the ring. In particular, the first element may have at the top a mounting skirt and the ring be snapped into this mounting skirt, while being able to rotate relative to this skirt mounting if sufficient torque is exerted.

Dans une réalisation particulière, le dispositif comporte des moyens permettant de produire automatiquement un mouvement relatif des deux éléments, s'accompagnant d'une augmentation du volume du logement, lorsque l'un des éléments entraíné en déplacement par l'utilisateur dans le sens de la distribution du produit est relâché et/ou lorsqu'un capot de fermeture est remis en place sur le dispositif, à la fin de son utilisation et/ou en cas de surpression à l'intérieur du logement.In a particular embodiment, the device comprises means allowing to automatically produce a relative movement of the two elements, accompanied by an increase in the volume of housing, when one of the elements driven in movement by the user in the direction of product distribution is released and / or when a closing cover is replaced on the device, at the end of its use and / or in the event of overpressure inside the accommodation.

Le dispositif peut comporter un ressort permettant de produire ce mouvement de retour automatique. Ce ressort peut, dans une réalisation particulière, travailler en compression.The device may include a spring allowing this movement to be produced automatic return. This spring can, in a particular embodiment, work in compression.

Toujours dans une réalisation particulière, le premier élément présente une première surface d'appui et le dispositif comporte un capot de fermeture qui comporte une deuxième surface d'appui, apte à coopérer avec la première, de manière à provoquer, lors de la mise en place du capot sur le dispositif, un déplacement du premier élément par rapport au deuxième, notamment en l'absence du ressort précité ou si pour une raison quelconque ce dernier n'a pas exercé une force suffisante pour provoquer le déplacement en question.Still in a particular embodiment, the first element has a first bearing surface and the device comprises a closure cover which comprises a second bearing surface, able to cooperate with the first, so as to cause, during the installation of the cover on the device, a displacement of the first element by report to the second, especially in the absence of the aforementioned jurisdiction or if for some reason any of the latter did not exert sufficient force to cause displacement in question.

Le premier élément peut comporter une virole et le deuxième élément comporter le corps du dispositif, sur lequel la virole est montée, ce corps définissant avec le piston le logement contenant le produit. La bague précitée peut être fixée sur la virole.The first element can include a ferrule and the second element comprise the body of the device, on which the ferrule is mounted, this body defining with the piston the housing containing the product. The aforementioned ring can be fixed on the ferrule.

Dans une réalisation particulière, le corps comporte au moins un ergot et la bague au moins une rampe sur laquelle l'ergot peut venir en appui, de manière qu'une rotation relative de la bague par rapport à l'ergot s'accompagne d'un déplacement axial de la bague par rapport au corps. En variante, c'est le corps qui peut comporter au moins une rampe et la bague au moins un ergot.In a particular embodiment, the body comprises at least one lug and the ring at least one ramp on which the lug can come to bear, so that a relative rotation of the ring with respect to the lug is accompanied by an axial displacement of the ring in relation to the body. As a variant, it is the body which can comprise at least one ramp and ring at least one lug.

La virole peut être positionnée axialement entre une base du corps et la partie supérieure du corps. Le piston peut être solidaire d'un support coopérant par vissage avec la virole. L'un des éléments peut tourner par rapport à l'autre sur une course angulaire limitée sans qu'il y ait actionnement du mécanisme de distribution. En particulier, le support peut tourner librement par rapport au corps avec un débattement angulaire limité par rapport à celui-ci, par exemple un débattement compris entre 5 et 25°, notamment entre 5 et 20°, voire voisin de 10° ou de 15°. Le corps peut comporter au moins une ouverture longitudinale et le support comporter au moins une extension engagée dans cette ouverture, la distance entre deux bords longitudinaux de l'ouverture du corps étant supérieure à la largeur de ladite extension, de telle sorte que le support peut tourner avec un débattement angulaire limité par rapport au corps. L'extension latérale précitée peut comporter une portion de filetage coopérant avec un filetage de la virole, de telle sorte qu'une rotation relative de la virole par rapport au support s'accompagne d'un déplacement axial du support par rapport à la virole. Le support peut servir d'appui à l'extrémité d'un ressort, ce ressort étant contraint par le déplacement axial de la virole par rapport au corps lors de la distribution du produit. Le support peut comporter une partie inférieure engagée au moins partiellement à travers une ouverture de la base du corps.The ferrule can be positioned axially between a base of the body and the part upper body. The piston can be secured to a support cooperating by screwing with the ferrule. One of the elements can rotate relative to the other on an angular travel limited without actuation of the dispensing mechanism. In particular, the support can rotate freely relative to the body with limited angular travel relative to it, for example a travel of between 5 and 25 °, in particular between 5 and 20 °, or even close to 10 ° or 15 °. The body may have at least one longitudinal opening and the support include at least one extension engaged in this opening, the distance between two longitudinal edges of the opening of the body being greater than the width of said extension, so that the support can rotate with limited angular movement relative to the body. The aforementioned lateral extension can have a thread portion cooperating with a thread of the ferrule, so that a relative rotation of the shell relative to the support is accompanied by a axial displacement of the support relative to the ferrule. The support can be used to support the end of a spring, this spring being constrained by the axial displacement of the ferrule by relationship to the body when distributing the product. The support may include a part lower at least partially engaged through an opening in the base of the body.

La virole peut encore se situer en partie inférieure du dispositif. Dans ce cas, le piston peut être solidaire d'une pièce coopérant avec une pièce intermédiaire coopérant elle-même avec la virole. Le support peut comporter au moins un montant longitudinal engagé dans une ouverture du corps, de manière à pouvoir tourner avec un débattement angulaire limité par rapport au corps. Ainsi, le montant peut présenter deux bords longitudinaux dont l'écartement est différent de celui de deux reliefs du corps. La pièce intermédiaire peut comporter au moins un relief coopérant avec le corps de manière à pouvoir tourner avec un débattement angulaire limité. Le dispositif peut comporter un ressort travaillant en compression, prenant appui à une extrémité sur la pièce intermédiaire et à l'autre extrémité sur une paroi du corps.The ferrule can also be located in the lower part of the device. In that case, the piston may be integral with a part cooperating with an intermediate part cooperating itself with the ferrule. The support can include at least one longitudinal upright engaged in an opening of the body, so that it can rotate with a clearance angular limited in relation to the body. Thus, the amount can have two edges longitudinal whose spacing is different from that of two reliefs of the body. The room intermediate may include at least one relief cooperating with the body so as to ability to rotate with limited angular travel. The device may include a spring working in compression, bearing at one end on the part intermediate and at the other end on a wall of the body.

Le dispositif peut, d'une manière générale, comporter un embout d'application, lorsque le produit est liquide.The device may, in general, include a tip application, when the product is liquid.

Lorsque le mouvement relatif des deux éléments s'effectue automatiquement en cas de surpression, la section des canaux de l'embout d'application est choisie de telle sorte que le déplacement des deux éléments s'effectue avant que le produit ne sorte par lesdits canaux. Autrement dit, la force nécessaire pour provoquer le déplacement des deux éléments en cas de surpression est inférieure à celle nécessaire pour provoquer la sortie du produit.When the relative movement of the two elements takes place automatically in the event of overpressure, the channel section of the application nozzle is chosen such that so that the two elements move before the product leaves said channels. In other words, the force necessary to cause the displacement of the two elements in case of overpressure is less than that needed to cause the product release.

On a représenté sur les figures 1 à 6 un dispositif 100 comportant un corps 110 et une virole 120 pouvant tourner par rapport audit corps. Ce dernier est muni en partie supérieure d'un embout d'application 130, réalisé par exemple en élastomère, éventuellement floqué, et traversé par des canaux 131 d'amenée du produit. L'embout 130 présente, dans l'exemple représenté, une surface d'application 132 qui s'étend selon un plan oblique par rapport à l'axe X du corps 110. La partie supérieure 111 du corps 110 définit un logement 140 pour recevoir une réserve d'un produit P, constitué dans l'exemple considéré par un rouge à lèvre liquide.FIGS. 1 to 6 show a device 100 comprising a body 110 and a ferrule 120 which can rotate relative to said body. The latter is provided with upper part of an application tip 130, made for example of elastomer, possibly flocked, and crossed by channels 131 for supplying the product. Tip 130 has, in the example shown, an application surface 132 which extends along a oblique plane with respect to the X axis of the body 110. The upper part 111 of the body 110 defines a housing 140 for receiving a reserve of a product P, constituted in the example considered by a liquid lipstick.

Le logement 140 présente une surface intérieure cylindrique d'axe X, de révolution dans l'exemple décrit, et le dispositif 100 comporte un piston 150 mobile dans le logement 140 pour créer lors de l'utilisation une surpression permettant de chasser une certaine quantité de produit au travers des canaux 131 vers la surface d'application 132.The housing 140 has a cylindrical inner surface of axis X, of revolution in the example described, and the device 100 comprises a piston 150 movable in the housing 140 to create during use an overpressure allowing to drive out a certain amount of product through the channels 131 to the application surface 132.

Le piston 150 est solidaire d'un support 160, lequel comporte une tige creuse 161 fixée à son extrémité supérieure au piston et se raccordant à son extrémité inférieure à une jupe 162 pourvue de deux extensions latérales 163 filetées extérieurement, diamétralement opposées.The piston 150 is integral with a support 160, which comprises a hollow rod 161 fixed at its upper end to the piston and connected to its lower end a skirt 162 provided with two lateral extensions 163 externally threaded, diametrically opposite.

La tige 161 forme avec la jupe 162 une gorge 164 logeant l'extrémité inférieure d'un ressort 170. L'extrémité supérieure de ce dernier vient prendre appui contre une paroi transversale 112 du corps 110, traversée en son centre par une ouverture pour le passage de la tige de support 160. La jupe 162 traverse une ouverture 113 de la base 114 du corps 100.The rod 161 forms with the skirt 162 a groove 164 housing the end lower of a spring 170. The upper end of the latter comes to bear against a transverse wall 112 of the body 110, crossed in its center by an opening for the passage of the support rod 160. The skirt 162 passes through an opening 113 of the base 114 of body 100.

Une bague 180 est encliquetée dans une jupe de montage 121, présente à l'extrémité supérieure de la virole. Cette bague 180 comporte un bourrelet annulaire 181 encliqueté dans une gorge correspondante 122 de la jupe de montage 121. La bague 180 présente, sur sa surface radialement intérieure, au moins une gorge hélicoïdale 183 que l'on a représentée en trait discontinu sur la figure 1, définissant une rampe, et la partie supérieure 111 du corps 110 comporte au moins un ergot 115 correspondant, qui est engagé dans cette gorge, et dont le diamètre correspond sensiblement à la largeur de celle-ci.A ring 180 is snapped into a mounting skirt 121, present at the upper end of the ferrule. This ring 180 includes an annular bead 181 snapped into a corresponding groove 122 of the mounting skirt 121. The ring 180 has, on its radially inner surface, at least one helical groove 183 that there is shown in broken lines in Figure 1, defining a ramp, and the part upper 111 of the body 110 comprises at least one corresponding lug 115, which is engaged in this groove, and whose diameter corresponds substantially to the width of it.

Le dispositif peut comporter deux ergots 115 diamétralement opposés et la bague 180 deux gorges 183 correspondantes.The device can comprise two diametrically opposite lugs 115 and the ring 180 two corresponding grooves 183.

Le corps 110 comporte, entre la paroi transversale 112 et la paroi définissant l'ouverture 113, deux ouvertures longitudinales 116 dans lesquelles sont engagées les extensions latérales 163 du support 160, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2. Chaque ouverture 116 est délimitée par deux bords longitudinaux 116a et 116b dont l'écartement est supérieur à la largeur d'une extension 163, de manière à permettre un certain débattement angulaire du support 160 dans le corps 110, d'un angle i égal dans l'exemple décrit à 15° environ.The body 110 comprises, between the transverse wall 112 and the wall defining the opening 113, two longitudinal openings 116 in which the lateral extensions 163 of the support 160 are engaged, as can be seen in FIG. 2. Each opening 116 is delimited by two longitudinal edges 116a and 116b whose spacing is greater than the width of an extension 163, so as to allow a certain angular movement of the support 160 in the body 110, by an angle i equal in the example described in 15 ° approximately.

La base 114 du corps 110 présente un godron 117 permettant l'encliquetage d'un capot de fermeture 190, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 6. Ce capot 190 présente un épaulement 191 destiné à venir en appui contre un épaulement 125 de la virole, comme cela sera précisé plus loin. La base 114 est fermée par un fond 119 rapporté.The base 114 of the body 110 has a godron 117 allowing the latching a closure cover 190, as can be seen in FIG. 6. This cover 190 has a shoulder 191 intended to bear against a shoulder 125 of the shell, as will be explained later. The base 114 is closed by an added bottom 119.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif 110 est le suivant. On suppose que le logement 140 est plein de produit P et que le capot 190 vient d'être enlevé, comme représenté à la figure 1. L'utilisateur commence par tourner la virole 120 par rapport au corps 110, d'une première course angulaire de la valeur de l'angle i précité dans le sens de la flèche A. Durant cette première course angulaire, le support 160 tourne avec la virole 120 et les extensions latérales 163 du support 160 passent d'un appui sur les bords longitudinaux 116a à un appui sur les bords longitudinaux opposés 116b. Le ressort 170 n'est initialement que peu comprimé. Compte tenu de la coopération de la bague 180 et du corps 110, la rotation de la virole 120 s'accompagne d'un déplacement axial vers le haut de celle-ci par rapport à la base 114, la bague 180 tournant avec la virole 120 et l'ergot 115 se déplaçant dans la gorge hélicoïdale 183. L'ensemble constitué de la virole 120, de la bague 180, du support 160 et du piston 150 est ainsi déplacé axialement d'une même valeur j, de l'ordre de 2 mm dans l'exemple décrit. L'espace 141 qui se trouvait au-dessus du niveau du liquide dans le logement 140 se remplit de liquide sous l'effet de la montée du piston 150 dans le logement 140, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 3. Le déplacement de la virole 120 vers le haut s'accompagne d'une légère compression du ressort 170, puisque le support 160 a suivi le mouvement vers le haut de la virole 120.The operation of the device 110 is as follows. It is assumed that the housing 140 is full of product P and that the cover 190 has just been removed, as shown in FIG. 1. The user begins by turning the ferrule 120 relative to the body 110, by a first angular stroke of the value of the aforementioned angle i in the direction of arrow A. During this first angular stroke, the support 160 rotates with the ferrule 120 and the lateral extensions 163 of the support 160 pass from a support on the longitudinal edges 116a to a support on the opposite longitudinal edges 116b. The spring 170 is initially only slightly compressed. Given the cooperation of the ring 180 and the body 110, the rotation of the ferrule 120 is accompanied by an axial displacement upward of the latter relative to the base 114, the ring 180 rotating with the ferrule 120 and the lug 115 moving in the helical groove 183. The assembly consisting of the ferrule 120, the ring 180, the support 160 and the piston 150 is thus displaced axially by the same value j , of the order of 2 mm in the example described. The space 141 which was above the level of the liquid in the housing 140 is filled with liquid under the effect of the rise of the piston 150 in the housing 140, as can be seen in FIG. 3. The displacement of the ferrule 120 upwards is accompanied by a slight compression of the spring 170, since the support 160 has followed the upward movement of the ferrule 120.

Lorsque l'on poursuit la rotation de la virole 120 par rapport au corps 110 dans le sens d'une distribution du produit, c'est-à-dire dans le sens de la flèche A, le support 160 devient immobile en rotation par rapport au corps 110, compte tenu de la venue en butée des extensions latérales 163 contre les bords longitudinaux 116b comme représenté sur la figure 4. Il y a ensuite rotation relative de la virole 120 par rapport au support 160 ce qui, compte tenu des filetages coopérants du support 160 et de la virole 120, provoque un déplacement vers le haut du support 160, la virole 120 étant empêchée de se déplacer davantage vers le haut par l'ergot 115 du corps 110.When the rotation of the ferrule 120 is continued relative to the body 110 in the direction of product distribution, i.e. in the direction of arrow A, the support 160 becomes immobile in rotation relative to the body 110, taking into account the abutting the lateral extensions 163 against the longitudinal edges 116b as represented in FIG. 4. There is then relative rotation of the ferrule 120 relative to the support 160 which, taking into account the cooperating threads of support 160 and the ferrule 120, causes an upward movement of the support 160, the ferrule 120 being prevented to move further upward through the lug 115 of the body 110.

Le mouvement ascendant du support 160, donc du piston 150, s'accompagne d'une distribution de produit par les canaux 131 sur la surface d'application 132, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 5. Lorsque l'utilisateur relâche la virole 120, le ressort 170 tend à ramener vers le bas la virole 120, jusqu'à appui de celle-ci contre la base 114. La bague 180 provoque la rotation de la virole 120 dans le sens de la flèche B de la figure 2. Le support 160 tourne avec la virole 120 dans les ouvertures longitudinales 116 et descend, ce qui provoque un recul du piston 150 dans le réservoir et génère une dépression qui assure l'évacuation au moins partielle du produit présent dans les canaux 131, et permet de former à nouveau au-dessus du produit, dans le logement 140, un espace libre 141.The upward movement of the support 160, therefore of the piston 150, is accompanied a product distribution through the channels 131 on the application surface 132, as this can be seen in FIG. 5. When the user releases the ferrule 120, the spring 170 tends to bring the ferrule 120 downwards, until it presses against the base 114. The ring 180 causes the ferrule 120 to rotate in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 2. The support 160 rotates with the ferrule 120 in the longitudinal openings 116 and descends, which causes the piston 150 to recede in the reservoir and generates a vacuum which ensures at least partial evacuation of the product present in the channels 131, and allows to form again above the product, in the housing 140, a free space 141.

On ne sort pas du cadre de l'invention en supprimant le ressort 170. Dans ce cas, le mouvement de rappel de la virole 120 vers la base 114 peut être effectué par la mise en place du capot de fermeture 190 et appui de l'épaulement 191 contre le décrochement 125, comme on le voit sur la figure 6.We do not depart from the scope of the invention by removing the spring 170. In this case, the return movement of the ferrule 120 towards the base 114 can be carried out by the fitting of the closing cover 190 and support of the shoulder 191 against the offset 125, as seen in FIG. 6.

Enfin, en l'absence de ressort 170, de capot 190, et en cas de surpression dans le logement 140 contenant le produit, le piston 150 peut reculer à partir de la configuration de la figure 5 jusqu'à butée axiale de la virole 120 sur la base 114 du corps 110.Finally, in the absence of spring 170, of cover 190, and in the event of overpressure in the housing 140 containing the product, the piston 150 can move back from the configuration of Figure 5 until axial stop of the ferrule 120 on the base 114 of the body 110.

On va maintenant décrire en référence aux figures 7 à 19 un dispositif 200 conforme à un deuxième exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention. Ce dispositif 200 comporte un corps 210 d'axe X et une virole 220 pouvant tourner par rapport au corps 210 autour de l'axe X. Le corps 210 est pourvu, en partie supérieure, d'un embout 230 similaire à l'embout 130 précédemment décrit, et définit un logement 240 ayant une surface intérieure cylindrique, dans laquelle peut coulisser un piston 250 solidaire d'un mécanisme 260 en deux parties 260a, 260b. La première partie 260a comporte une vis 261, fixée à son extrémité supérieure sur le piston 250 et deux montants longitudinaux 262, diamétralement opposés, réalisés d'un seul tenant avec la vis 261. L'autre partie 260b comporte une tige creuse 263, filetée intérieurement, dans laquelle est engagée la vis 261 et en partie inférieure une couronne 264. Cette dernière se raccorde à la tige 263 par une paroi 266 servant d'appui à un ressort 270. La couronne 264 est filetée extérieurement et coopère par vissage avec un filetage intérieur 229 de la virole 220.We will now describe with reference to Figures 7 to 19 a device 200 according to a second example of implementation of the invention. This device 200 comprises a body 210 of axis X and a ferrule 220 which can rotate relative to the body 210 around the X axis. The body 210 is provided, in the upper part, with a nozzle 230 similar to the end piece 130 previously described, and defines a housing 240 having a cylindrical inner surface, in which a piston 250 can slide, integral with a mechanism 260 in two parts 260a, 260b. The first part 260a comprises a screw 261, fixed at its upper end to the piston 250 and two longitudinal uprights 262, diametrically opposed, made in one piece with the screw 261. The other part 260b comprises a hollow rod 263, internally threaded, in which is engaged the screw 261 and in the lower part a crown 264. The latter is connected to the rod 263 by a wall 266 serving as a support for a spring 270. The crown 264 is threaded externally and cooperates by screwing with an internal thread 229 of the shell 220.

On a représenté isolément sur les figures 10 et 11 la partie 260b du mécanisme 260. On peut voir que la tige 263 est munie extérieurement, en partie de deux nervures d'anti-rotation 265, sensiblement diamétralement opposées, dont la fonction sera précisée plus loin. Les nervures 265 s'étendent seulement sur sensiblement la moitié de la hauteur de la tige 263, à partir de son extrémité supérieure. Seule une des nervures 265 est apparente sur la figure 10.FIGS. 10 and 11 show separately part 260b of the mechanism 260. It can be seen that the rod 263 is provided externally, in part with two anti-rotation ribs 265, substantially diametrically opposite, the function of which will be specified below. The ribs 265 extend only over substantially half of the height of the rod 263, from its upper end. Only one of the ribs 265 is apparent in Figure 10.

Le ressort 270 précité, qui travaille en compression et prend appui à son extrémité inférieure sur la paroi 266, prend appui à l'autre extrémité contre une paroi transversale 212, traversée par une ouverture 217 permettant le passage du mécanisme 260.The aforementioned spring 270, which works in compression and rests on its lower end on the wall 266, bears at the other end against a wall transverse 212, crossed by an opening 217 allowing the passage of the mechanism 260.

Une bague 280 est encliquetée dans une jupe de montage 221 située en partie supérieure de la virole 220. Cette bague 280 comporte, à l'instar de la bague 180 précédemment décrite, un godron 281 encliqueté dans une gorge annulaire 222 de la jupe de montage 221. La bague 280 comporte deux gorges hélicoïdales 283 diamétralement opposées, dans chacune desquelles est engagé un ergot 215 du corps 210. La virole 220 est fermée en partie inférieure par un fond rapporté 229.A ring 280 is snapped into a mounting skirt 221 located in part upper part of the ferrule 220. This ring 280 comprises, like the ring 180 previously described, a godron 281 snapped into an annular groove 222 of the skirt mounting 221. The ring 280 has two helical grooves 283 diametrically opposite, in each of which is engaged a lug 215 of the body 210. The ferrule 220 is closed at the bottom by an attached bottom 229.

On remarquera à l'examen de la figure 9 que la paroi 212 comporte des encoches 216 dans lesquelles sont engagés les montants 262 et que les bords longitudinaux 216a et 216b de ces encoches sont écartés d'une distance supérieure à la largeur des montants 262, de manière à permettre un certain débattement angulaire du mécanisme 260 par rapport au corps 210, l'ouverture 217 de la paroi transversale 212 étant également conformée pour permettre un même débattement angulaire de même ampleur des nervures anti-rotation 265.It will be noted on examining FIG. 9 that the wall 212 has notches 216 in which the uprights 262 are engaged and the edges 216a and 216b of these notches are spaced a distance greater than the width of the uprights 262, so as to allow a certain angular movement of the mechanism 260 relative to the body 210, the opening 217 of the transverse wall 212 also being shaped to allow the same angular movement as well extent of anti-rotation ribs 265.

Le dispositif 200 comporte un capot de fermeture 290, que l'on peut voir sur la figure 8.The device 200 includes a closing cover 290, which can be seen on Figure 8.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif 200 est le suivant.The operation of the device 200 is as follows.

Après avoir retiré le capot 290, l'utilisateur tourne la virole 220 par rapport au corps 210 d'une première course angulaire i. La bague 280 étant immobile par rapport à la virole 220, le mouvement relatif entre le corps 210 et la virole 220 s'accompagne d'un déplacement vers le haut de la virole par rapport au corps 210, comme représenté à la figure 14. Dans l'exemple décrit, cette première course angulaire provoque la venue en butée des montants 262 contre les bords 216b des encoches 216, comme illustré sur la figure 13, ainsi qu'une butée de chaque nervure d'anti-rotation 265 contre un bord de l'ouverture 217 de la paroi transversale 212. La virole 220 s'est déplacée vers le haut avec le mécanisme 260 et le piston 250. Les ergots 215 arrivent en butée contre la virole 220, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 12.After removing the cover 290, the user turns the ferrule 220 relative to the body 210 of a first angular stroke i. The ring 280 being stationary relative to the ferrule 220, the relative movement between the body 210 and the ferrule 220 is accompanied by a upward movement of the shell relative to the body 210, as shown in the figure 14. In the example described, this first angular stroke causes the coming in abutment of the uprights 262 against the edges 216b of the notches 216, as illustrated in the Figure 13, as well as a stop of each anti-rotation rib 265 against an edge of the opening 217 of the transverse wall 212. The ferrule 220 has moved upwards with the mechanism 260 and the piston 250. The lugs 215 come into abutment against the ferrule 220, as can be seen in Figure 12.

La poursuite du mouvement de rotation, dans le sens de la distribution du produit, provoque dans un premier temps, comme illustré sur la figure 14, le déplacement de la couronne 264 vers le haut dans le filetage 229 de la virole, puis dans un second temps, le dévissage de la vis 261 hors de la tige creuse 263, comme illustré sur la figure 16. Le ressort 270 est comprimé.The continuation of the rotational movement, in the direction of the distribution of the product, initially causes, as illustrated in FIG. 14, the displacement from the crown 264 upwards in the thread 229 of the ferrule, then in a second time, unscrewing the screw 261 out of the hollow rod 263, as illustrated in the figure 16. The spring 270 is compressed.

Durant les mouvements de rotation de la couronne 264 dans la virole 220 et de la tige de la vis 261 dans la tige creuse 263, la bague 280 peut tourner par rapport à la virole 220. Lorsque l'utilisateur relâche la virole 220 ou le corps 210, le ressort 270 tend à ramener la virole 220 vers le bas et celle-ci peut descendre en effectuant un mouvement de rotation, les ergots 215 parcourant la gorge annulaire 283, jusqu'à ce que les montants 262 viennent en butée sur les bords 216a des encoches 216, comme on le voit sur la figure 19. Le mouvement de descente de la virole s'accompagne d'un mouvement correspondant du mécanisme 260, et donc d'un recul du piston 250 dans le logement 240.During the rotational movements of the crown 264 in the shell 220 and of the rod of the screw 261 in the hollow rod 263, the ring 280 can rotate relative to the ferrule 220. When the user releases the ferrule 220 or the body 210, the spring 270 tends bring the ferrule 220 down and it can descend by making a movement of rotation, the pins 215 traversing the annular groove 283, until the uprights 262 abuts on the edges 216a of the notches 216, as seen on the figure 19. The downward movement of the ferrule is accompanied by a movement corresponding to the mechanism 260, and therefore to a recoil of the piston 250 in the housing 240.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits. On peut notamment réaliser autrement encore le mécanisme d'entraínement du piston.Of course, the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments which have just been described.
