Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container for propelling cosmetic pencils, to a process for assembling such a container and to a propelling cosmetic pencil comprising such a container.
  • the propelling cosmetic pencils are used for applying a cosmetic substance onto the body, usually the face, for instance for the purpose of highlighting the eye contour, eyebrows, lip contour, and so on.
  • Cosmetic pencils which comprise an outer body made of wood or plastic material and a core (the lead) consisting of a decorative cosmetic substance rigidly and fixedly introduced into the body and substantially extending over the whole length of the body.
  • the lead tip As the lead tip is being used, it is necessary to sharpen the pencil in order to remove part of the wood or plastic material and to uncover a new lead portion. Pencils of the described type become increasingly shorter with use until they reach such a length that their use becomes so difficult that they often are thrown away without any possibility of fully utilising them.
  • the lead is only protected by a cap that is removed and put back. During both operations, a casual interference between cap and lead tip can damage said tip and/or soil the cap.
  • the pencil of this document comprises an outer casing provided at one end thereof with a tapering nozzle through which the lead of cosmetic material is drawn out.
  • the lead is retained by a lead-holder which is prevented from rotating at the inside of the outer casing.
  • the lead-holder can be moved to and fro in the outer casing by a threaded rod connected to a rotary head placed on one end of the casing opposite to the tapering nozzle.
  • the threaded rod is fitted in a threaded housing of the lead-holder that is at the opposite end of the lead.
  • the pulling-out device enables the lead tip to be drawn out of the outer casing only when the pencil is being used.
  • the Applicant has found that the production cost of the propelling pencils of the type described above is greatly affected by the manufacture complexity of the individual elements (usually obtained by moulding of plastic materials) and the complexity of the operations for assembling said elements. In fact, for the assembly of each piece, a lot of time is required as well as use of expensive machines and/or qualified manpower.
  • the present invention aims at eliminating the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing a container for propelling cosmetic pencils that is of simple structure and allows easy and quick assembly of the elements forming it.
  • Another aim of the invention is to propose a propelling cosmetic pencil ensuring correct conservation of the lead until complete use of same.
  • the present invention relates to a container for propelling cosmetic pencils as claimed in claim 1.
  • the present invention relates to a process for assembling a container for propelling cosmetic pencils according to claim 12.
  • the present invention relates to a propelling cosmetic pencil as claimed in claim 11.
  • a propelling cosmetic pencil according to the present invention has been generally identified by reference numeral 1.
  • the cosmetic pencil 1 comprises a container 2 and a lead 3 mounted in the container 2 in an axially movable way.
  • Container 2 shown in an assembled condition in Fig. 1 , comprises a holding body 4 of a tubular shape and circular section, which extends along a longitudinal axis X-X and has a first opening 4a placed at a first, preferably tapering, axial end and a second opening 4b placed at a second axial end opposite to the first one 4a.
  • ribs 5 On an inner surface of the holding body 4 there are ribs 5 extending parallel to the longitudinal axis X-X and preferably disposed angularly spaced apart around said axis X-X (as shown in Fig. 3a ).
  • the axial ribs 5 are three in number. Radially internal ends of the axial ribs 5 are tangent to a circle substantially having the same diameter as that of lead 3.
  • the axial ribs 5 extend as far as the first opening 4a, preferably starting from an intermediate portion of the holding body 4 ( Fig. 3 ).
  • First annular ridges 6 delimiting annular recesses are shaped on the inner surface of the holding body 4 and in the region close to the second opening 4b. In the embodiment given by way of non-limiting example there are three first annular ridges 6.
  • the inner surface of the holding body 4 has a conical shape (not shown in the accompanying diagrammatic figures) getting narrower from the second end 4b to the first one 4a, for performing a function that will be described below.
  • This conical shape is preferably restricted to the only portion extending from the second end 4b to the beginning of ribs 5. More preferably, this conical shape is restricted to the only portion C located not very far from ribs 5 ( Fig. 3 ).
  • Container 2 comprises a lead-holder 7 ( Figs. 4 and 4a ) which in turn comprises a cylindrical wall 8 delimiting a seat 9 for lead 3.
  • a lead-holder 7 Figs. 4 and 4a
  • a cylindrical wall 8 delimiting a seat 9 for lead 3.
  • axial ridges 10 adapted to interfere with the soft material of lead 3 so as to keep the latter in place once it has been axially inserted in said seat 9 (no translation and no rotation relative to the lead-holder 7).
  • the axial ridges extend from a blind bottom of seat 9 until about half-way along wall 8.
  • the cylindrical wall 8 is formed with three arched walls disposed in mutual side by side relationship. The side-by-side walls delimit three grooves or axial cuts 11 between each other.
  • the lead-holder 7 further comprises a threaded body 12.
  • the threaded body 12 is in the shape of a rod provided with an outer threading extending along an axis Y-Y coincident with the longitudinal axis X-X, once the lead-holder 7 has been mounted in the holding body 4.
  • Said axis Y-Y is also coincident with the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical body 8.
  • the threaded body 12 extends starting from a portion of the lead-holder 7 that is close to the blind bottom of seat 9.
  • Container 2 also comprises a driving element 13 ( Figs. 5, 5a and 5b ) preferably of a tubular type, extending along a longitudinal axis Z-Z.
  • the driving element 13 at a first end thereof 13a comprises a first portion or operating portion 14 having an outer diameter that is substantially identical with the outer diameter of the holding body 4.
  • the driving element 13 comprises a second portion 15 having an outer diameter adapted to enable the same to be inserted into the holding body 4 and an inner diameter capable of enabling the threaded body 12 to be inserted in said second portion 15.
  • Formed at a second end 13b of the driving element 13, in the wall of the second portion 15, are tabs 16 that are flexible, preferably in an elastic manner, along radial directions.
  • Each tab 16 is delimited by a U-shaped notch (partly shown in Fig. 2 ) formed through the wall of the second portion 15 and extends parallel to the longitudinal axis Z-Z starting from a junction region with the remaining part of said wall towards the second end 13b of the driving element 13.
  • the driving element 13 comprises two opposite tabs 16.
  • Each tab 16, on a radially internal surface thereof, has threaded portions 17 ( Fig. 5a ) suitable for engagement with the thread of the threaded body 12 belonging to the lead-holder 7.
  • each tab 16 is further provided, on a radially external surface thereof, with protrusions 18 ( Fig. 5a ) interacting with the inner wall of the holding body 4.
  • protrusions 18 Fig. 5a
  • second annular ridges 19 confining annular recesses ( Fig. 5b ).
  • annular seat 20 is formed between the second annular ridges 19 and the first portion 14, for housing a seal 21 (shown in Fig. 2 ).
  • Mounting of container 2 is carried out by first inserting a free end 12a of the threaded body 12 into the second end 13b of the driving element 13 and making said threaded body 12 axially slide within the second portion 15 until bringing the edge of the second end 13b in abutment against an annular surface 22 ( Figs. 2 and 4 ) transverse to axis Y-Y and belonging to the cylindrical wall 8 of the lead-holder 7.
  • the threaded portions 17 of the flexible tabs 16 slide on the threading of the threaded body 12 with a slight interference that in any case does not hinder sliding due to the elastic radial deformability of said tabs 16.
  • the threaded body 12 together with the driving element 13 are mounted in the holding body 4 by inserting the tubular body 8 through the second opening 4b, seat 9 facing the first opening 4a.
  • Ribs 5 enter the axial cuts 11 of the tubular body 8 so as to prevent mutual rotation between the lead-holder 7 and holding body 4.
  • the insertion takes place until bringing an annular surface 23 ( Figs. 2 and 5 ) transverse to axis Z-Z and belonging to the operating portion 14, in abutment against the edge of the second opening 4b.
  • the second annular ridges 19 step over the first annular ridges 6 with a snap-engagement, until the annular ridges of one of the two elements is brought in register with the annular recesses of the other, and they axially lock the driving element 13 in the holding body 4.
  • the driving element 13 is at all events free to rotate in the holding body 4 around the longitudinal axis X-X.
  • Seal 21 remains interposed between the inner surface of the holding body 4 and the annular seat 20 of the driving element 13.
  • tabs 16 are maintained in contact with the threaded body 12 by the inner wall of the holding body 4 so that mutual engagement of the threads is ensured.
  • the lead nut-worm screw coupling between the lead-holder 7 and the driving element 13 causes translation along axis X-X of the lead-holder 7 and the lead 3 installed thereon.
  • Lead 3 is preferably mounted when assembly of container 2 has been completed, and it is inserted from the first opening 4a and locked in seat 9 through the interference with the axial ridges 10 and also taking advantage of the radial elasticity of the three arched walls of the cylindrical wall 8.
  • the elements are such sized that seat 9 for lead 3 can be brought as far as the first opening 4a, so that lead 3 can be drawn out even when it is very short.
  • the externally threaded rod is integral with the operating portion 14 and therefore is part of the driving element 13, while the flexible tabs 16 are disposed on a tubular body integral with seat 9 and are therefore part of the lead-holder 7.
  • the operating principle does not change.
  • Container 2 can also be provided with accessories. For instance, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 , a small sponge 24 and a pencil sharpener suitable for sharpening the lead 3 alone are inserted in a housing 26 formed in the operating portion 14. The pencil sharpener 25 is protected by a cap 27.
  • housing 26 is closed by a suitable plug, not shown.
  • container 2 comprises a cap 28 disposed on the first end of the holding body 4 for protection of the lead tip or, if the lead tip is fully retracted, for preventing dust or other substances from penetrating through the first opening 4a.
  • the present invention reaches the intended purposes and achieves important advantages.
  • the present invention allows the container to be easily and quickly assembled, because all couplings are obtained through relative linear movements between the components and by snap-fit or friction-fit.
  • all components of the container are inserted from one end alone of the holding body. Therefore, the assembly times can be reduced and use of less complicated machines and/or less qualified manpower can be provided and, as a result, the assembly costs are reduced.
  • the lead-holder made up of arched walls provided with axial ridges enables the lead to be locked by a mere axial movement.
  • the present invention possibly allows the final user to disassemble the container for internally cleaning it before replacing the lead with a new one.
  • the cap can be removed and put back while the lead tip lies within the holding body and therefore cannot be damaged.
  • the seal together with the cap make the user sure that the volatile substances of the cosmetic material are not dispersed and help in maintaining the cosmetic quality over time.
  • the axial ribs not only prevent the lead-holder from rotating, but also avoid the lead tossing about in the container so that it cannot be damaged during handling or transport, when carried in a handbag for example.
