Le dispositif selon la présente invention est destiné à être utilisé notamment pour recevoir et dispenser un produit cosmétique conditionné sous forme d'un bloc, tel qu'un bâton ou « raisin » de rouge à lèvres, un soin pour les lèvres, un fond de teint, un fard à joue, un correcteur de teint, une composition de traitement ou d'hydratation, un produit de soin capillaire ou un déodorant, en vue de son application directe sur la peau ou les fibres kératiniques d'un être humain ou animal.The device according to the present invention is intended to be used in particular for receiving and dispensing a cosmetic product packaged in the form of a block, such as a stick or "grape" of lipstick, a care for the lips, a base of dyed, a blush, a concealer, a treatment or hydration composition, a hair care product or a deodorant, for direct application to the skin or the keratinous fibers of a human or animal .

En variante, le dispositif selon la présente invention est destiné à contenir un récipient recevant un produit cosmétique liquide, tel qu'une crème, un parfum, une émulsion, le produit liquide étant destiné à être appliqué par pulvérisation sur la peau ou les fibres kératiniques d'un être humain ou animal.Alternatively, the device according to the present invention is intended to contain a receptacle receiving a liquid cosmetic product, such as a cream, a perfume, an emulsion, the liquid product being intended to be applied by spraying on the skin or the keratin fibers of a human being or animal.

Dans une autre variante, le dispositif selon l'invention est destiné à contenir un outil d'application d'un produit cosmétique tel qu'un applicateur de produit cosmétique destiné à être placé en contact avec le produit cosmétique.In another variant, the device according to the invention is intended to contain a tool for applying a cosmetic product such as a cosmetic product applicator intended to be placed in contact with the cosmetic product.

Dans les dispositifs d'application de produit cosmétique sous forme de bâton, comme un raisin de rouge à lèvres, il est connu de monter le bâton sur un corps comprenant un tube de réception du bâton et une base d'extraction du bâton hors du tube.In cosmetic product application devices in the form of a stick, such as a lipstick grape, it is known to mount the stick on a body comprising a stick receiving tube and a stick extraction base out of the tube. .

Ce corps, parfois désigné par le terme « mécanisme » est introduit dans un habillage qui sert d'étui lorsque le bâton de produit cosmétique n'est pas utilisé.This body, sometimes referred to as the "mechanism" is introduced into a covering that serves as a case when the stick of cosmetic product is not used.

L'habillage est disposé autour du tube contenant le bâton de produit cosmétique et s'appuie contre l'extrémité supérieure de la base.The dressing is arranged around the tube containing the cosmetic product stick and bears against the upper end of the base.

Pour utiliser le bâton de produit cosmétique, l'utilisateur saisit la base à l'aide des doigts d'une première main, et saisit l'habillage à l'aide des doigts d'une deuxième main. L'utilisateur extrait alors totalement le corps hors de l'habillage en séparant ces éléments.To use the cosmetic product stick, the user grasps the base with the fingers of one hand, and grasps the dressing with the fingers of a second hand. The user then completely extracts the body from the skin by separating these elements.

Un tel dispositif est donc fastidieux à utiliser, puisqu'il nécessite l'utilisation simultanée des deux mains. En outre, son aspect extérieur n'est pas complètement satisfaisant, puisque la base du corps dépasse hors de l'habillage.Such a device is therefore tedious to use, since it requires the simultaneous use of both hands. In addition, its external appearance is not completely satisfactory, since the base of the body protrudes out of the cladding.

Un but de l'invention est donc d'obtenir un dispositif d'application présentant un habillage et un corps de réception d'un article cosmétique qui peut être facilement extrait de l'habillage, tout en présentant un aspect extérieur très satisfaisant.An object of the invention is therefore to obtain an application device having a covering and a receiving body of a cosmetic article that can be easily extracted from the covering, while having a very satisfactory external appearance.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif selon la revendication 1.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a device according to claim 1.

Le dispositif selon l'invention peut comprendre l'une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques des revendicatons 2 à 14The device according to the invention may comprise one or more of the characteristics of the claims 2 to 14

Un premier dispositif d'application 10 selon l'invention est représenté sur les Figures 1 à 8.A first application device 10 according to the invention is represented on the Figures 1 to 8 .

Ce premier dispositif 10 est destiné à être utilisé notamment pour recevoir et dispenser un produit cosmétique conditionné sous forme d'un bloc, tel qu'un bâton ou raisin de rouge à lèvres, un soin pour les lèvres, un fond de teint, un fard à joue, un correcteur de teint, une composition de traitement ou d'hydratation, un produit de soin capillaire ou un déodorant, en vue de son application directe sur la peau ou les fibres kératiniques d'un être humain ou animal.This first device 10 is intended to be used in particular for receiving and dispensing a cosmetic product packaged in the form of a block, such as a stick or grape of lipstick, a care for the lips, a foundation, a makeup patches, a concealer, a treatment or hydration composition, a hair care product or a deodorant, for direct application to the skin or keratin fibers of a human or animal.

Le premier dispositif 10 comprend un habillage extérieur 12 visible sur la Figure 1, un corps 14 de réception d'un article cosmétique 16 et un ensemble 18 d'extraction du corps 14 hors de l'habillage 12.The first device 10 comprises an outer covering 12 visible on the Figure 1 , a body 14 for receiving a cosmetic article 16 and an assembly 18 for extracting the body 14 from the covering 12.

Dans l'exemple représenté sur la Figure 2, l'habillage 12 est formé par un élément tubulaire creux 20 d'axe longitudinal A-A', vertical sur la Figure 2.In the example shown on the Figure 2 , the covering 12 is formed by a hollow tubular element 20 of longitudinal axis A-A ', vertical on the Figure 2 .

L'élément tubulaire 20 définit une cavité intérieure 22 de logement du corps 14 et de l'ensemble d'extraction 18. La cavité 22 débouche axialement vers le haut sur la Figure 2 par une ouverture 24 de manoeuvre de l'ensemble d'extraction 18, et débouche axialement vers le bas par une ouverture 26 d'extraction du corps 14 et de l'article cosmétique 16.The tubular element 20 defines an interior cavity 22 housing the body 14 and the extraction assembly 18. The cavity 22 opens axially upwards on the Figure 2 by an opening 24 for operating the extraction assembly 18, and opens axially downwards through an opening 26 for extracting the body 14 and the cosmetic article 16.

Dans tout ce qui suit, les orientations choisies sont indicatives et s'entendent par rapport aux Figures. En particulier, les termes « supérieur », « inférieur », « haut », « bas », s'entendent de manière relative par rapport à l'orientation choisie sur les Figures, les termes « supérieur » et « haut » s'entendant généralement comme plus proches de l'ouverture de manoeuvre 24 alors que les termes « inférieur » ou « bas » s'entendent plus proches de l'ouverture d'extraction 26. En pratique, ces orientations pourraient être inversées.In all that follows, the orientations chosen are indicative and agree with respect to the figures. In particular, the terms "superior", "lower", "high", "low", are understood relative to the orientation chosen in the figures, the terms "superior" and "high" meaning generally as closer to the maneuvering opening 24 while the terms "lower" or "lower" are closer to the extraction aperture 26. In practice, these orientations could be reversed.

L'ouverture de manoeuvre 24 est délimitée extérieurement par un rebord annulaire 27 faisant saillie vers l'axe A-A' à partir de l'élément tubulaire 20.The operating opening 24 is delimited externally by an annular rim 27 projecting towards the axis AA 'from the tubular element 20.

La cavité intérieure 22 s'étend sur toute la longueur de l'élément tubulaire 20. Dans l'exemple représenté sur les Figures 1 et 2, la section transversale de la cavité 22 est circulaire et constante. En variante, cette section peut présenter d'autres formes telles que polygonale comme carrée ou triangulaire, ou ovale. La cavité 22 peut présenter une section variable en se déplaçant le long de l'axe A-A'.The inner cavity 22 extends over the entire length of the tubular element 20. In the example shown in FIGS. Figures 1 and 2 , the cross section of the cavity 22 is circular and constant. Alternatively, this section may have other shapes such as polygonal as square or triangular, or oval. The cavity 22 may have a variable section moving along the axis A-A '.

Dans cet exemple, l'habillage 12 présente une surface extérieure 20 sensiblement lisse pour améliorer son aspect esthétique extérieur.In this example, the covering 12 has a substantially smooth outer surface 20 to improve its external appearance.

Dans l'exemple représenté sur les Figures 1 à 8, le corps 14 forme un mécanisme d'extraction de l'article cosmétique 16.In the example shown on the Figures 1 to 8 the body 14 forms a mechanism for extracting the cosmetic article 16.

Ainsi, le corps 14 comprend une base 30, un tube 32 de réception de l'article cosmétique 16 et une cupule 34 déplaçable axialement dans le tube 32.Thus, the body 14 comprises a base 30, a tube 32 for receiving the cosmetic article 16 and a cup 34 that is axially displaceable in the tube 32.

La base 30 présente une section extérieure conjuguée à la section intérieure de la cavité 22 délimitée par l'habillage 20 au voisinage de l'ouverture d'extraction 26.The base 30 has an outer section conjugated to the inner section of the cavity 22 delimited by the covering 20 in the vicinity of the extraction opening 26.

Le tube 32 fait saillie axialement vers le haut sur la Figure 2 à partir de la base 30.The tube 32 protrudes axially upwards on the Figure 2 from the base 30.

La cupule 34 est disposée dans le tube 32. Elle est déplaçable longitudinalement dans le tube 32 entre une position escamotée, disposée au voisinage de la base 30, et une position déployée, disposée à l'écart de la base 30.The cup 34 is disposed in the tube 32. It is movable longitudinally in the tube 32 between a retracted position, disposed in the vicinity of the base 30, and an extended position, disposed away from the base 30.

De manière connue, divers mécanismes existent pour déplacer la cupule 34 et l'article cosmétique 16 dans le tube 32 pour extraire l'article cosmétique 16 hors du tube 32.In known manner, various mechanisms exist for moving the cup 34 and the cosmetic article 16 in the tube 32 to extract the cosmetic article 16 out of the tube 32.

Dans un exemple connu de mécanisme, la base 30 est montée rotative par rapport au tube 32 pour entraîner un ensemble (non représenté) de déplacement hélicoïdal d'axe A-A' de la cupule 34 vers le haut. En variante, un organe de déplacement en translation de la cupule 32 le long de l'axe A-A' est prévu pour être accessible par un utilisateur à l'extérieur du tube 32.In a known example of a mechanism, the base 30 is rotatably mounted relative to the tube 32 to drive an assembly (not shown) of helical displacement axis A-A 'of the cup 34 upwards. In a variant, a translational displacement member of the cup 32 along the axis A-A 'is provided to be accessible by a user outside the tube 32.

Le corps 14 est déplaçable le long de l'axe A-A' dans l'habillage 12 entre une position de stockage du corps dans l'habillage, représentée sur la Figure 2, et une position d'extraction du corps hors de l'habillage, représentée sur la Figure 3. Il est en outre déplaçable depuis sa position d'extraction vers une position extraite hors de l'habillage, représenté sur la Figure 4.The body 14 is movable along the axis AA 'in the cladding 12 between a storage position of the body in the cladding, shown in FIG. Figure 2 , and an extraction position of the body out of the casing, shown on the Figure 3 . It is also movable from its extraction position to a position extracted out of the cladding, shown on the Figure 4 .

Dans la position de stockage du corps dans l'habillage, le corps 14 est sensiblement totalement inséré dans la cavité 22. La base 30 obture l'ouverture d'extraction 26 et affleure l'élément tubulaire autour de cette ouverture 26.In the storage position of the body in the casing, the body 14 is substantially completely inserted into the cavity 22. The base 30 closes the extraction opening 26 and is flush with the tubular element around this opening 26.

Dans la position d'extraction, le corps a été déplacé à l'écart de l'ouverture de manoeuvre 24 à travers l'ouverture d'extraction 26. La base 30 fait saillie hors de l'ouverture d'extraction 26 pour être saisie par les doigts d'un utilisateur.In the extraction position, the body has been moved away from the operating opening 24 through the extraction opening 26. The base 30 projects out of the extraction opening 26 to be grasped by the fingers of a user.

Dans la position totalement extraite, le corps 14 est totalement à l'écart de l'habillage 12.In the fully extracted position, the body 14 is completely away from the casing 12.

L'article cosmétique 16 est formé par un bâton 40 de produit cosmétique, tel qu'un raisin de rouge à lèvres. Il est monté solidaire de la cupule 34. Le bâton 40 est solide pour présenter une tenue mécanique autonome à température ambiante par exemple égale à 25°C, en l'absence de tout maintien extérieur.The cosmetic article 16 is formed by a stick 40 of a cosmetic product, such as a lipstick grape. It is mounted integral with the cup 34. The stick 40 is solid to have an autonomous mechanical strength at room temperature for example equal to 25 ° C, in the absence of any external support.

Dans la position escamotée de la cupule 34, le bâton 40 est totalement reçu dans le tube 32 et ne dépasse pas hors de ce tube 32.In the retracted position of the cup 34, the stick 40 is totally received in the tube 32 and does not protrude outside this tube 32.

Dans la position déployée de la cupule 34, le bâton 40 fait saillie hors du tube 32 pour permettre l'application de produit cosmétique sur la peau ou les fibres kératiniques d'un utilisateur par contact entre le bâton 40 et la peau ou les fibres kératiniques.In the deployed position of the cup 34, the stick 40 protrudes out of the tube 32 to allow the application of cosmetic product to the skin or the keratinous fibers of a user by contact between the stick 40 and the skin or the keratinous fibers .

L'ensemble d'extraction 18 comprend une platine de retenue 50 montée solidaire de l'élément tubulaire 20 au voisinage de l'ouverture de manoeuvre 24, un organe intermédiaire 52 de déplacement du corps 14 dans la cavité 22, et un organe 54 de poussée pour déclencher l'extraction du corps 14 hors de la cavité 22.The extraction assembly 18 comprises a retaining plate 50 mounted integral with the tubular element 20 in the vicinity of the operating opening 24, an intermediate member 52 for moving the body 14 in the cavity 22, and a body 54 for pushing to trigger the extraction of the body 14 out of the cavity 22.

L'ensemble d'extraction 18 comprend en outre un organe 56 de sollicitation interposé entre l'organe de poussée 54 et l'organe intermédiaire 52 pour assister l'extraction de l'organe intermédiaire 52 et du corps 14 hors de l'habillage et pour le rappel de l'organe de poussée 54, et un ensemble de retenue de l'organe intermédiaire 52 et du corps 14.The extraction assembly 18 further comprises a biasing member 56 interposed between the thrust member 54 and the intermediate member 52 to assist the extraction of the intermediate member 52 and the body 14 out of the cladding and for the return of the thrust member 54, and a retaining assembly of the intermediate member 52 and the body 14.

La platine 50 est montée fixe dans l'habillage 12 en appui extérieur contre l'élément tubulaire 20. Elle bute vers le haut contre le rebord de retenue 27 délimitant l'ouverture de manoeuvre 24.The plate 50 is fixedly mounted in the casing 12 in external support against the tubular element 20. It abuts upwards against the retaining rim 27 delimiting the operating opening 24.

En référence aux Figures 6 et 7, la platine 50 comprend une paroi transversale de butée 57, une paroi périphérique extérieure 57A, et une paroi périphérique intérieure 57B. Les parois 57A, 57B sont cylindriques d'axe A-A' et font saillie vers l'ouverture de manoeuvre 24 à partir de la paroi transversale de butée 57.With reference to Figures 6 and 7 , the plate 50 comprises a transverse abutment wall 57, an outer peripheral wall 57A, and an inner peripheral wall 57B. The walls 57A, 57B are cylindrical with axis AA 'and project towards the operating opening 24 from the transverse abutment wall 57.

La paroi transversale de butée 57 s'étend sensiblement perpendiculairement à l'axe A-A'. Elle définit une ouverture traversante centrale 58 d'axe A-A' et deux encoches 59 opposées prolongeant radialement l'ouverture 58 de part et d'autre d'un plan médian passant par l'axe A-A'.The transverse abutment wall 57 extends substantially perpendicular to the axis A-A '. It defines a central through opening 58 of axis A-A 'and two opposite notches 59 extending radially opening 58 on either side of a median plane passing through the axis A-A'.

La paroi extérieure 57A délimite deux fenêtres 60 latérales opposées décalées angulairement sensiblement de 90° par rapport aux encoches 59 autour de l'axe A-A'. La paroi extérieure 57A présente une section transversale extérieure inférieure à la section transversale intérieure de la cavité 22.The outer wall 57A delimits two opposite side windows 60 angularly offset substantially 90 ° to the notches 59 about the axis A-A '. The outer wall 57A has an outer cross section smaller than the inner cross section of the cavity 22.

La paroi intérieure 57B délimite, en regard des fenêtres latérales 60, deux évidements traversant en forme de U s'étendant autour d'une butée flexible 61 faisant saillie radialement vers la paroi extérieure 57A.The inner wall 57B defines, opposite the side windows 60, two U-shaped through recesses extending around a flexible abutment 61 projecting radially towards the outer wall 57A.

La paroi intérieure 57B définit en outre, au dessus des encoches 59, deux fentes axiales 62 de passage des éléments de retenue, comme on va le décrire plus bas. Chaque fente axiale 62 débouche axialement vers le haut et vers le bas.The inner wall 57B further defines, above the notches 59, two axial slots 62 passage of the retaining elements, as will be described below. Each axial slot 62 opens axially upwards and downwards.

La paroi transversale de butée 57 définit une surface transversale 64 de butée, dans laquelle débouche l'ouverture centrale 58 et les encoches 59. La surface de butée 64 est dirigée vers l'ouverture de manoeuvre 24.The transverse abutment wall 57 defines a transverse stop surface 64 into which the central opening 58 and the notches 59 open. The abutment surface 64 is directed towards the operating opening 24.

L'organe intermédiaire 52 comprend, de bas en haut sur les Figures 2 à 5, une tête 70 partiellement insérée dans la platine 50 et une capsule inférieure 72 qui fait saillie vers l'ouverture d'extraction 26 à partir de la tête 70.The intermediate member 52 comprises, from bottom to top on the Figures 2 to 5 , a head 70 partially inserted into the plate 50 and a lower capsule 72 which protrudes towards the extraction opening 26 from the head 70.

La tête 70 comprend une tige intérieure 74 de guidage de l'organe de sollicitation 56, une paroi 76 extérieure de support du mécanisme de retenue 56A et des butées 78 de retenue de l'organe intermédiaire 52 dans l'habillage 12. Comme illustré par la Figure 8, la tête 70 comprend en outre des pattes de retenue 80 qui font saillie radialement vers l'extérieur à l'écart de la paroi extérieure 76.The head 70 comprises an inner rod 74 for guiding the biasing member 56, an outer wall 76 for supporting the retaining mechanism 56A and stops 78 for retaining the intermediate member 52 in the cladding 12. As illustrated by FIG. the Figure 8 the head 70 further comprises retaining tabs 80 which protrude radially outwardly away from the outer wall 76.

La tige intérieure 74 s'étend le long de l'axe A-A' vers l'ouverture de manoeuvre 24 à partir de la capsule 72. Elle est obturée à son extrémité libre.The inner rod 74 extends along the axis A-A 'to the operating opening 24 from the capsule 72. It is closed at its free end.

La paroi extérieure 76 présente une section transversale extérieure sensiblement conjuguée à la section transversale intérieure de l'ouverture centrale 58 définie dans la paroi transversale 57.The outer wall 76 has an outer cross section substantially conjugate to the inner cross section of the central opening 58 defined in the transverse wall 57.

Les butées de retenue 78 s'étendent radialement à l'écart de l'axe A-A' à partir du bord supérieur de la paroi extérieure 76. La paroi extérieure 76, délimite de part et d'autre de chaque butée 78, deux encoches longitudinales 82 permettant l'insertion en force des butées de retenue 78 dans la platine 50, à travers l'ouverture centrale 58 définie dans la paroi transversale 57.The retaining stops 78 extend radially away from the axis AA 'from the upper edge of the outer wall 76. The outer wall 76, delimits on either side of each stop 78, two longitudinal notches 82 allowing the insertion of the retaining stops 78 into the plate 50, through the central opening 58 defined in the transverse wall 57.

Lorsque les butées 78 sont reçues dans la platine 50, elles sont décalées angulairement autour de l'axe A-A' d'environ 90° par rapport aux encoches 59.When the stops 78 are received in the plate 50, they are angularly offset about the axis A-A 'by about 90 ° with respect to the notches 59.

Dans l'exemple représenté sur la Figure 8, la tête 70 comprend deux pattes de retenue libérables 80 disposées de part et d'autre d'un plan médian passant par l'axe A-A' en étant décalées angulairement d'environ 90° par rapport aux butées de retenue 78.In the example shown on the Figure 8 , the head 70 comprises two releasable retaining tabs 80 disposed on either side of a median plane passing through the axis AA 'being angularly offset by about 90 ° with respect to the retaining stops 78.

Plus généralement, le nombre de pattes 80 est supérieur ou égal à 1 et est compris par exemple entre 1 et 10.More generally, the number of tabs 80 is greater than or equal to 1 and is for example between 1 and 10.

Chaque patte 80 comprend, de bas en haut sur la Figure 8, une extrémité intérieure 90 fixée sur la paroi extérieure 76 au voisinage de son bord supérieur, un tronçon intermédiaire 92 s'étendant axialement à l'écart de la paroi intermédiaire 76 et une extrémité libre formant un ergot 94 de retenue.Each leg 80 comprises, from bottom to top on the Figure 8 , an inner end 90 fixed to the outer wall 76 in the vicinity of its upper edge, a intermediate portion 92 extending axially away from the intermediate wall 76 and a free end forming a retaining lug 94.

L'ergot 94 présente une surface extérieure biseautée 96 propre à coopérer avec le bord inférieur de l'organe de poussée 54, comme on le verra plus bas.The lug 94 has a beveled outer surface 96 adapted to cooperate with the lower edge of the thrust member 54, as will be seen below.

La capsule 72 comprend une paroi de fond 100 et une paroi latérale 102 qui délimitent intérieurement un logement axial 104 de réception d'au moins une partie du corps 14.The capsule 72 comprises a bottom wall 100 and a side wall 102 which internally delimit an axial housing 104 for receiving at least a portion of the body 14.

La paroi de fond 100 porte la tête 70 qui fait saillie vers l'ouverture de manoeuvre 24.The bottom wall 100 carries the head 70 which projects towards the operating opening 24.

La paroi latérale 102 fait saillie vers l'ouverture d'extraction 26 à l'opposé de la tête 70 à partir de la paroi de fond 100.

It is closed axially at least partly in the second direction towards the operating opening 24 by the bottom wall 100.

L'organe intermédiaire 52 est déplaçable conjointement avec le corps 14 entre la position de stockage et la position d'extraction.The intermediate member 52 is movable together with the body 14 between the storage position and the extraction position.

Lorsque le corps 14 occupe sa position de stockage, la tête 70 est sensiblement totalement disposée dans la platine 50. La capsule 72 s'étend relativement à l'écart de l'ouverture d'extraction 76.When the body 14 occupies its storage position, the head 70 is substantially completely disposed in the plate 50. The capsule 72 extends relatively to the distance from the extraction opening 76.

Les pattes 80 sont insérées dans les fentes 62 ménagées dans la paroi intérieure 57B et leurs ergots 94 sont appliqués contre la surface supérieure de butée 64. La coopération entre les pattes 80 et la surface de butée 64 empêche le déplacement de l'organe intermédiaire 52 et du corps 14 dans le premier sens.The tabs 80 are inserted into the slots 62 formed in the inner wall 57B and their lugs 94 are applied against the upper abutment surface 64. The cooperation between the tabs 80 and the abutment surface 64 prevents the displacement of the intermediate member 52 and the body 14 in the first sense.

Dans la position d'extraction, les pattes 80 ont été extraites hors de la platine 50 à travers les encoches 59.In the extraction position, the tabs 80 have been extracted from the plate 50 through the notches 59.

Les ergots 94 sont alors situés dans la cavité 22 sous la platine 50 et la capsule 72 est située relativement au voisinage de l'ouverture d'extraction 26.The lugs 94 are then located in the cavity 22 under the plate 50 and the capsule 72 is located relatively to the vicinity of the extraction opening 26.

Les pattes 80, solidaires d'un élément déplaçable conjointement avec le corps 14 entre la position de stockage et la position d'extraction, et la surface de butée 64, solidaire de l'habillage forment ainsi l'ensemble de retenue libérable du corps 14 dans sa position de stockage.The tabs 80, integral with a member movable together with the body 14 between the storage position and the extraction position, and the abutment surface 64 integral with the casing thus form the releasable retaining assembly of the body 14. in its storage position.

Comme illustré par la Figure 5, l'organe de poussée 54 est formé par un bouton poussoir cylindrique creux 110 inséré partiellement dans la cavité 22 à travers l'ouverture de manoeuvre 24.As illustrated by Figure 5 , the thrust member 54 is formed by a hollow cylindrical push-button 110 inserted partially into the cavity 22 through the operating opening 24.

Le bouton 110 présente une paroi d'appui supérieur 112, sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe A-A', et une paroi latérale 114 qui fait saillie vers le bas à partir de la périphérie de la paroi d'appui 112, en étant disposée entre la paroi intérieure 57B et la paroi extérieure 57A de la platine 50.The button 110 has an upper support wall 112, substantially perpendicular to the axis A-A ', and a side wall 114 which projects downwardly from the periphery of the support wall 112, being arranged between the inner wall 57B and the outer wall 57A of the plate 50.

La paroi latérale 114 délimite un bord inférieur 116 propre à coopérer avec la surface extérieure biseautée 96 des pattes 80, comme on le verra plus bas.The side wall 114 defines a lower edge 116 adapted to cooperate with the beveled outer surface 96 of the tabs 80, as will be seen below.

La paroi latérale 114 délimite des fenêtres 118 recevant intérieurement les butées radiales 61 faisant saillie à partir de la paroi intérieure 57B.The side wall 114 defines windows 118 receiving internally the radial stops 61 protruding from the inner wall 57B.

Le bouton 110 est mobile le long de l'axe A-A' entre une configuration de repos, représentée sur la Figure 2, et une configuration d'activation du déplacement du corps vers sa position d'extraction, représentée sur la Figure 3.The button 110 is movable along the axis AA 'between a rest configuration, represented on the Figure 2 , and an activation configuration of the movement of the body towards its extraction position, represented on the Figure 3 .

Dans la configuration de repos, dans l'exemple représenté sur la Figure 2, le bouton 110 fait légèrement saillie à l'extérieur de la cavité 22 à travers l'ouverture de manoeuvre 24. En variante, il est disposé à l'intérieur de la cavité 22 au voisinage de l'ouverture de manoeuvre 24.In the idle configuration, in the example shown on the Figure 2 , the button 110 protrudes slightly outside the cavity 22 through the operating opening 24. In a variant, it is disposed inside the cavity 22 in the vicinity of the operating opening 24.

Le bord inférieur 116 est disposé au-dessus et à l'écart de la surface extérieure biseautée 96.The lower edge 116 is disposed above and away from the beveled outer surface 96.

Dans la configuration de repos, la butée 61 est appliquée contre un bord inférieur de la fenêtre 118 pour retenir le bouton-poussoir 110.In the idle configuration, the stop 61 is applied against a lower edge of the window 118 to retain the pushbutton 110.

Dans la configuration d'activation du déplacement du corps, la paroi d'appui 112 et la paroi latérale 114 ont été poussées dans l'habillage 12 dans le premier sens vers l'ouverture d'extraction 26 pour les placer totalement dans la cavité intérieure 22.In the activation configuration of the body displacement, the support wall 112 and the side wall 114 have been pushed into the casing 12 in the first direction towards the extraction opening 26 to place them totally in the interior cavity. 22.

Le bord inférieur 116 a déplacé radialement vers l'intérieur les pattes 80 par appui sur la surface extérieure biseautée 96. Il est disposé en butée contre la surface supérieure 64 de la platine 70.The lower edge 116 has moved the lugs 80 radially inwardly by bearing on the bevelled outer surface 96. It is disposed in abutment against the upper surface 64 of the plate 70.

Dans l'exemple représenté sur la Figure 2, l'organe de sollicitation 56 forme à la fois un organe de sollicitation de l'organe de poussée 54 vers sa configuration de repos et un organe de sollicitation du corps 14 vers sa position d'extraction. Ainsi, l'organe de sollicitation commun 56 est empilé mécaniquement entre la paroi d'appui 112 du bouton-poussoir 110 et la paroi de fond 100 de la capsule 72.In the example shown on the Figure 2 , the biasing member 56 forms both a biasing member of the thrust member 54 to its rest configuration and a biasing member of the body 14 to its extraction position. Thus, the common biasing member 56 is mechanically stacked between the support wall 112 of the pushbutton 110 and the bottom wall 100 of the capsule 72.

L'organe 56 est formé par exemple par un ressort hélicoïdal 120 disposé dans la tête 70 dans la paroi extérieure 76 autour de la tige 74.The member 56 is formed for example by a helical spring 120 disposed in the head 70 in the outer wall 76 around the rod 74.

Lorsque le corps 14 et l'organe intermédiaire 52 occupent la position de stockage du corps dans l'habillage, l'organe de sollicitation 56 maintient les pattes 80 appliquées contre la surface de butée 64. En outre, l'organe de sollicitation 56 maintient l'organe de poussée 54 dans sa configuration de repos, et plaque les butées radiales 61 contre le bord inférieur des fenêtres 118.When the body 14 and the intermediate member 52 occupy the storage position of the body in the casing, the biasing member 56 holds the lugs 80 applied against the abutment surface 64. In addition, the biasing member 56 maintains the thrust member 54 in its rest configuration, and plates the radial stops 61 against the lower edge of the windows 118.

Le fonctionnement du premier dispositif 10 selon l'invention va maintenant être décrit.The operation of the first device 10 according to the invention will now be described.

Initialement, comme représenté sur la Figure 2, le corps 14 occupe sa position de stockage dans l'emballage. Ainsi, le tube 32 est inséré dans le logement 104 de la capsule 72. Le corps 14 est alors retenu mécaniquement dans la capsule 72.Initially, as depicted on the Figure 2 the body 14 occupies its storage position in the package. Thus, the tube 32 is inserted into the housing 104 of the capsule 72. The body 14 is then mechanically retained in the capsule 72.

Comme on l'a vu plus haut, le corps 14 est totalement reçu dans la cavité intérieure 22. Sa base 30 est disposée en retrait dans la cavité 22 par rapport à l'ouverture de manoeuvre 26 ou affleure l'élément tubulaire 20 au niveau de l'ouverture de manoeuvre 26.As has been seen above, the body 14 is completely received in the internal cavity 22. Its base 30 is set back in the cavity 22 relative to the operating opening 26 or is flush with the tubular element 20 at the the maneuvering opening 26.

L'aspect esthétique du dispositif 10 est donc amélioré en position de stockage, puisqu'il présente une surface extérieure périphérique sensiblement homogène et d'un seul tenant, comme illustré par la Figure 1.The aesthetic appearance of the device 10 is thus improved in the storage position, since it has a substantially homogeneous and integral external peripheral surface, as illustrated by FIG. Figure 1 .

Lorsqu'un utilisateur souhaite utiliser le produit cosmétique 16 contenu dans le corps 14, il déplace l'organe de poussée 54 dans le premier sens de sa configuration de repos à sa configuration d'activation du déplacement du corps.When a user wishes to use the cosmetic product 16 contained in the body 14, he moves the thrust member 54 in the first direction from its rest configuration to its activation configuration of the body displacement.

A cet effet, il appuie sur la surface d'appui 112 pour s'opposer à la force de sollicitation de l'organe de sollicitation 56 et il déplace la surface d'appui 112 vers l'ouverture d'extraction 26 dans le premier sens le long de l'axe A-A'.For this purpose, it presses the bearing surface 112 to oppose the biasing force of the biasing member 56 and moves the bearing surface 112 towards the extraction opening 26 in the first direction along the axis A-A '.

Lors de ce déplacement, la paroi latérale 114 coulisse entre les parois 57A, 57B de la platine 70 vers l'ouverture d'extraction 26. Le bord inférieur 116 s'applique contre la surface biseautée 96 et provoque par flexion le déplacement radial des pattes 80 vers l'axe A-A'.During this movement, the side wall 114 slides between the walls 57A, 57B of the plate 70 towards the extraction opening 26. The lower edge 116 is applied against the beveled surface 96 and causes by bending the radial displacement of the legs 80 to the axis A-A '.

Les ergots 94 se déplacent radialement en regard des encoches 59 en glissant sur la surface 58. Lorsque les ergots 94 sont totalement disposés en regard des encoches 59, l'organe intermédiaire 52 et le corps 14 sont libres axialement par rapport à la surface de butée 64.The lugs 94 move radially facing the notches 59 by sliding on the surface 58. When the lugs 94 are completely arranged facing the notches 59, the intermediate member 52 and the body 14 are free axially relative to the abutment surface 64.

L'organe intermédiaire 52 et le corps 14 se déplacent axialement le long de l'axe A-A' dans le premier sens vers l'ouverture d'extraction 26 et à travers celle-ci.The intermediate member 52 and the body 14 move axially along the axis A-A 'in the first direction towards the extraction opening 26 and therethrough.

Le ressort 120 formant l'organe de sollicitation 56 se déploie vers l'ouverture d'extraction 26 et pousse l'organe intermédiaire 52 et le corps 14 vers la position d'extraction illustrée par la Figure 3, dans laquelle la base 30 du corps 14 peut être saisie par les doigts d'un utilisateur.The spring 120 forming the biasing member 56 extends towards the extraction opening 26 and pushes the intermediate member 52 and the body 14 to the position extraction illustrated by the Figure 3 wherein the base 30 of the body 14 can be grasped by the fingers of a user.

L'utilisateur relâche alors la paroi d'appui 112 de l'organe de poussée 54, ce qui provoque, sous l'effet de l'organe de sollicitation 56, le retour de l'organe de poussée 54 vers sa configuration de repos retenue par la platine 50.The user then releases the bearing wall 112 of the thrust member 54, which causes, under the effect of the biasing member 56, the return of the thrust member 54 towards its restraint configuration retained by the plate 50.

Dans cette position du corps 14, l'utilisateur peut extraire totalement le corps 14 à l'écart de l'habillage 12 et déployer l'article cosmétique 16 hors du tube 32 pour appliquer du produit cosmétique sur sa peau ou/et ses fibres kératiniques.In this position of the body 14, the user can completely extract the body 14 away from the covering 12 and deploy the cosmetic article 16 out of the tube 32 to apply cosmetic product to his skin and / or his keratinous fibers .

A cet effet, il peut par exemple entraîner en rotation la base 30 par rapport au tube 32 pour déplacer la cupule 34 vers l'extérieur ou simplement déplacer la cupule 34 par l'intermédiaire d'un organe spécifique, comme décrit plus haut.For this purpose, it may for example rotate the base 30 relative to the tube 32 to move the cup 34 outwards or simply move the cup 34 through a specific body, as described above.

Lorsque l'utilisateur a fini d'utiliser l'article cosmétique 16, il le rétracte à l'intérieur du tube 32, puis insère à nouveau le tube 32 dans la capsule 72. Le corps 14 est alors replacé dans sa position d'extraction illustrée par la Figure 3.When the user has finished using the cosmetic article 16, he retracts it inside the tube 32, then inserts the tube 32 into the capsule 72 again. The body 14 is then returned to its extraction position. illustrated by the Figure 3 .

L'utilisateur exerce alors une poussée sur le corps 14 pour le déplacer dans le deuxième sens vers l'ouverture de manoeuvre 24 et rétracter la base 30 dans l'habillage 12 jusqu'à la position de stockage.The user then exerts a thrust on the body 14 to move it in the second direction to the operating opening 24 and retract the base 30 in the casing 12 to the storage position.

Ce déplacement du corps 14 provoque le déplacement conjoint de l'organe intermédiaire 52, la compression de l'organe de sollicitation 56 entre la paroi d'appui 112 et la paroi de fond 100, puis l'insertion des pattes de retenue 80 à travers les encoches 59 jusqu'à ce que les pattes 80 passent au-dessus de la surface de butée 64 et se déploient radialement à l'écart de l'axe A-A' entre la surface de butée 64 et le bord inférieur 116 de l'organe de poussée 54.This displacement of the body 14 causes the joint member 52 to move together, compressing the biasing member 56 between the bearing wall 112 and the bottom wall 100, and then inserting the retaining tabs 80 through the notches 59 until the tabs 80 pass over the abutment surface 64 and deploy radially away from the axis AA 'between the abutment surface 64 and the lower edge 116 of the organ thrust 54.

L'organe de poussée 54 étant sollicité en permanence vers sa configuration de repos, l'habillage 12 conserve un aspect esthétique satisfaisant quelle que soit la position du corps 14, et notamment lorsque le corps 14 est totalement extrait hors de l'habillage.The thrust member 54 being permanently biased towards its rest configuration, the cladding 12 retains a satisfactory aesthetic appearance regardless of the position of the body 14, and in particular when the body 14 is completely extracted from the cladding.

Dans une variante, le dispositif 10 comprend un organe de sollicitation de l'organe de poussée 54 vers sa position de repos, et un organe de sollicitation du corps 12 vers sa position d'extraction, distinct de l'organe de sollicitation de l'organe de poussée 54.In a variant, the device 10 comprises a member for biasing the thrust member 54 towards its rest position, and a member for biasing the body 12 towards its extraction position, distinct from the biasing member of the thrust member pushing member 54.

Un tel dispositif permet d'ajuster facilement les forces exercées par chacun des organes de sollicitation respectivement sur l'organe de poussée 54 et sur l'ensemble formé par l'organe intermédiaire 52 et le corps 14.Such a device makes it possible to easily adjust the forces exerted by each of the biasing members respectively on the thrust member 54 and on the assembly formed by the intermediate member 52 and the body 14.

Dans une autre variante, le dispositif 10 est dépourvu d'organe intermédiaire. Le corps 14 est alors muni de moyens de retenue libérables sous l'effet de l'organe de poussée.In another variant, the device 10 is devoid of intermediate member. The body 14 is then provided with releasable retaining means under the effect of the thrust member.

Un deuxième dispositif 150 selon l'invention est représenté sur les Figures 9 et 10. A la différence du premier dispositif 10, le corps 14 forme un ensemble 152 de pulvérisation d'un produit cosmétique liquide 154. Cet ensemble 152 comprend une bouteille 156 contenant le produit cosmétique 154 et une tête de pulvérisation 158 reçues dans la capsule 72. Le produit 154 est par exemple un parfum.A second device 150 according to the invention is represented on the Figures 9 and 10 . Unlike the first device 10, the body 14 forms a spray assembly 152 of a liquid cosmetic product 154. This set 152 comprises a bottle 156 containing the cosmetic product 154 and a spray head 158 received in the capsule 72. product 154 is for example a perfume.

Le fonctionnement du deuxième dispositif 150 est par ailleurs analogue à celui du premier dispositif 10.The operation of the second device 150 is moreover analogous to that of the first device 10.

Un troisième dispositif 160 selon l'invention est représenté sur la Figure 11. A la différence du premier dispositif 10, le corps 14 forme un support d'un outil d'application de produit cosmétique, tel qu'une brosse, un pinceau ou plus généralement d'un applicateur d'un produit cosmétique, pourvu d'une mousse, d'un feutre, d'un fritté, d'un tissé, d'un non-tissé, ou d'une éponge, d'un pinceau, d'une brosse à âme torsadée ou injectée ou d'un peigne, d'un thermoplastique poreux, d'un embout floqué, d'une mousse synthétique habillant une partie moulée ou d'une spatule.A third device 160 according to the invention is represented on the Figure 11 . Unlike the first device 10, the body 14 forms a support for a cosmetic product application tool, such as a brush, a brush or more generally an applicator of a cosmetic product, provided with a foam, felt, sintered, woven, nonwoven, or sponge, brush, twisted or injected core brush or comb, a porous thermoplastic, a flocked tip, a synthetic foam dressing a molded part or a spatula.

En variante, le corps 14 porte un outil de traitement cosmétique, tel qu'une râpe, une roulette de massage, un repousse cuticules ou encore une lime à ongles.Alternatively, the body 14 carries a cosmetic treatment tool, such as a rasp, a massage wheel, a cuticle regrowth or a nail file.

Dans une variante représentée sur la Figure 8, qui s'applique indifféremment au premier dispositif 10, au deuxième dispositif 150 et au troisième dispositif 160, le dispositif comprend des moyens 170 complémentaires de retenue du corps dans l'organe intermédiaire 52 lorsque le corps 14 occupe sa position d'extraction.In a variant shown on the Figure 8 , which applies equally to the first device 10, the second device 150 and the third device 160, the device comprises complementary means 170 for retaining the body in the intermediate member 52 when the body 14 is in its extraction position.

Dans l'exemple de la Figure 8, les moyens de retenue 170 comprennent des lames élastiques longitudinales 171 qui font partiellement saillie radialement vers l'axe A-A' dans le logement 104 pour enserrer le corps 14. Ces lames 171 sont avantageusement venues de matière avec la paroi 102.In the example of the Figure 8 , the retaining means 170 comprise longitudinal elastic strips 171 which partially project radially towards the axis AA 'in the housing 104 to grip the body 14. These blades 171 are advantageously integral with the wall 102.

Dans une variante représentée sur la Figure 12, les moyens de retenue 170 comprennent par exemple un bourrelet annulaire 172 faisant saillie radialement à l'extérieur de la base 30 ou du tube 32 et une gorge 174 annulaire de forme complémentaire au bourrelet 172. Dans la position de stockage, le bourrelet 172 est reçu dans la gorge 174.In a variant shown on the Figure 12 , the retaining means 170 comprise for example an annular bead 172 projecting radially outside the base 30 or the tube 32 and an annular groove 174 of complementary shape to the bead 172. In the storage position, the bead 172 is received in the throat 174.

Ainsi, lors du passage du corps 14 et de l'organe intermédiaire 52 depuis la position de stockage du corps vers la position d'extraction, le risque d'éjection du corps 14 à l'écart de l'organe intermédiaire 52 est diminué, ce qui évite l'expulsion intempestive du corps 14 hors de l'habillage 12.Thus, during the passage of the body 14 and the intermediate member 52 from the storage position of the body to the extraction position, the risk of ejection of the body 14 away from the intermediate member 52 is decreased, which avoids the inadvertent expulsion of the body 14 out of the dressing 12.

Ainsi, l'utilisateur contrôle facilement l'extraction du corps 14 vers sa position d'utilisation en retirant le bourrelet 172 hors de la gorge 174.Thus, the user easily controls the extraction of the body 14 to its position of use by removing the bead 172 out of the groove 174.

Dans la variante représentée sur la Figure 13, les moyens de retenue 170 comprennent une paroi interne de retenue 180 solidaire de la capsule 72. La paroi interne de retenue 180 fait saillie dans le logement 104 vers l'ouverture d'extraction 26 à l'écart de la paroi de fond 100.In the variant shown on the Figure 13 , the retaining means 170 comprise an internal retaining wall 180 integral with the capsule 72. The retaining inner wall 180 projects into the housing 104 towards the extraction opening 26 away from the bottom wall 100.

La paroi interne de retenue 180 présente une section extérieure conjuguée à la section intérieure du tube 32. Ainsi, la paroi de retenue 180 est insérée en force à l'intérieur du tube 32, ce qui limite le risque d'éjection intempestive du corps 14 hors de l'habillage 12 lors du passage de la position de stockage à la position d'extraction.The internal retaining wall 180 has an outer section conjugated to the inner section of the tube 32. Thus, the retaining wall 180 is forcefully inserted inside the tube 32, which limits the risk of inadvertent ejection of the body 14. out of the cladding 12 during the transition from the storage position to the extraction position.

En référence aux Figures 2 et 3, ainsi qu'aux Figures 9 et 10, l'organe de poussée 54 est mobile par rapport au corps 14 dans le premier sens vers l'ouverture d'extraction suivant l'axe longitudinal A-A', depuis la configuration de repos vers la configuration de déplacement du corps.With reference to Figures 2 and 3 as well as Figures 9 and 10 , the thrust member 54 is movable relative to the body 14 in the first direction towards the extraction opening along the longitudinal axis A-A ', from the rest configuration to the displacement configuration of the body.

Dans une première partie de la course de l'organe de poussée 54 entre la configuration de repos et la configuration de déplacement du corps, l'ensemble de retenue 80, 64 reste actif pour empêcher le déplacement axial du corps 14 et de l'organe intermédiaire 52 lorsqu'il est présent, depuis la position de stockage vers la position d'extraction.In a first part of the stroke of the thrust member 54 between the rest configuration and the body displacement configuration, the retaining assembly 80, 64 remains active to prevent the axial displacement of the body 14 and the body. intermediate 52 when present, from the storage position to the extraction position.

Puis, dans une deuxième partie de cette course, l'organe de poussée 54 libère l'ensemble de retenue 80, 64, ce qui autorise le déplacement du corps 14 et de l'organe intermédiaire 52 lorsqu'il est présent, dans le premier sens depuis la position de stockage vers la position d'extraction.Then, in a second part of this race, the thrust member 54 releases the retaining assembly 80, 64, which allows the displacement of the body 14 and the intermediate member 52 when it is present, in the first direction from the storage position to the extraction position.

Le corps 14 des dispositifs de support 10, 150, 160 comporte un volume intérieur de stockage contenant l'article cosmétique 16. Le volume intérieur est obturé par un fond et débouche par une ouverture de distribution de l'article cosmétique.The body 14 of the support devices 10, 150, 160 comprises an internal storage volume containing the cosmetic article 16. The interior volume is closed by a bottom and opens out through a dispensing opening of the cosmetic article.

Ainsi, dans le premier dispositif 10 comme dans le troisième dispositif 160, le tube 32 débouche par une ouverture axiale de distribution dirigée vers l'ouverture de manoeuvre 24. Le tube 32 présente un fond dirigé vers l'ouverture d'extraction 26 dans la position de stockage.Thus, in the first device 10 as in the third device 160, the tube 32 opens by an axial distribution opening directed towards the operating opening 24. The tube 32 has a bottom directed towards the extraction opening 26 in the storage position.

Le bâton 40 est extrait à travers l'ouverture de distribution dans sa position déployée.The stick 40 is extracted through the dispensing opening in its deployed position.

Dans le deuxième dispositif 150, l'ouverture de distribution débouche transversalement dans la tête de distribution 158. Le produit cosmétique présent dans l'ensemble 152 est extrait à travers l'ouverture de distribution.In the second device 150, the dispensing opening opens transversely into the dispensing head 158. The cosmetic product present in the assembly 152 is extracted through the dispensing opening.

Dans les dispositifs 10, 150, 160, le corps 14 est disposé dans l'habillage 12 de sorte que l'ouverture de distribution est relativement plus proche de l'ouverture de manoeuvre 24 et que le fond est relativement plus proche de l'ouverture d'extraction 26.In the devices 10, 150, 160, the body 14 is disposed in the casing 12 so that the dispensing opening is relatively closer to the operating opening 24 and the bottom is relatively closer to the opening Extraction 26.

Ainsi, dans la position d'extraction, le fond du corps 14 fait saillie hors de la cavité 22 à travers l'ouverture d'extraction 26 dans le premier sens. L'ouverture de distribution reste disposée dans la cavité 22, en étant inaccessible pour l'utilisateur.Thus, in the extraction position, the bottom of the body 14 projects out of the cavity 22 through the extraction opening 26 in the first direction. The dispensing opening remains disposed in the cavity 22, being inaccessible to the user.

Pour accéder à l'ouverture de distribution, l'utilisateur passe donc le corps 14 de sa position d'extraction à sa position totalement extraite en le faisant avantageusement pivoter, une fois extrait hors de la cavité 22 de l'habillage 12.To access the dispensing opening, the user thus passes the body 14 of its extraction position to its fully extracted position by making it advantageously pivot, once extracted from the cavity 22 of the casing 12.

Dans une variante (non représentée), l'organe de poussée 54 comporte un cache avantageusement en métal comme en aluminium ou en plastique couvrant le bouton poussoir 110 pour améliorer l'aspect esthétique du dispositif de support.In a variant (not shown), the thrust member 54 comprises a cover advantageously metal such as aluminum or plastic covering the push button 110 to improve the aesthetic appearance of the support device.

Comme on l'a vu plus haut, lorsque le corps 14 occupe sa position d'extraction, il est déplaçable dans le deuxième sens, de l'ouverture d'extraction 26 vers l'ouverture de manoeuvre 24, le long de l'axe A-A' jusqu'à sa position de stockage, notamment par poussée de l'utilisateur sur le corps 14.As seen above, when the body 14 occupies its extraction position, it is movable in the second direction, from the extraction opening 26 to the operating opening 24, along the axis AA 'to its storage position, in particular by pushing the user on the body 14.

La manipulation de l'organe de poussée 54 ne permet pas le retour du corps 14 dans sa position de stockage à l'intérieur de la cavité intérieure 22. Ce déplacement du corps 14 est possible sans actionnement de l'organe de poussée 54. L'organe de poussée 54 est ramené dans sa configuration de repos par la poussée exercée directement sur le corps 14, la force de poussée étant transmise par le corps 14 à l'organe de poussée 54.The manipulation of the thrust member 54 does not allow the body 14 to return to its storage position inside the internal cavity 22. This displacement of the body 14 is possible without actuation of the thrust member 54. pushing member 54 is brought back into its rest configuration by the thrust exerted directly on the body 14, the thrust force being transmitted by the body 14 to the thrust member 54.

Le corps 14 est déplaçable depuis sa position de stockage vers sa position d'extraction par déplacement exclusivement dans le premier sens le long de l'axe A-A', sans déplacement dans le deuxième sens. Le corps 14 est déplaçable depuis sa position d'extraction vers sa position de stockage par déplacement exclusivement dans le deuxième sens opposé au premier sens le long de l'axe A-A', sans déplacement dans le premier sens.The body 14 is movable from its storage position to its extraction position by displacement exclusively in the first direction along the axis A-A ', without displacement in the second direction. The body 14 is movable from its extraction position to its storage position by displacement exclusively in the second direction opposite the first direction along the axis A-A ', without displacement in the first direction.
