- the side wall 82 projects around the axis AA 'from the base wall 80 to an inner edge 90. It defines, in the vicinity and spaced axially from the base wall 80, spacers 92.
- the struts 92 are integral with the wall 82 and protrude radially towards the axis AA 'in the interior volume 84.
- the free edge 90 defines an insertion opening of the head 14 of greater cross section than the maximum cross section of the head 14.
- the free edge 90 has an outer contour slightly smaller than the outer contour of the side wall 22 in the vicinity of the shoulder 30.
- the biasing member 86 comprises an annular base 100 integral with the side wall 82 and at least one resiliently deformable biasing tab 102 which projects radially towards the axis AA 'with respect to the base 100.
- the number of tabs 102 is greater than or equal to 1 and is advantageously between 1 and 6.
- the biasing member 86 is attached in the cover 16 to the side wall 82.
- the member 86 is integral with the cover 16.
- This member 86 is advantageously formed of acetal or other material to ensure the appropriate spring effect.
- this member 86 is a metal spring.
- the base 100 is fixed in the wall 82 by insertion between the spacers 82. It is fixed axially along the axis A-A '.
- the tab 102 has at its free end 104 an application pin on the rotary applicator member 40.
- the tab 102 is flexibly deformable between a rest configuration, represented in dotted lines on the Figure 2 in which it protrudes away from the base wall 80 towards the free edge 90, and a deformed configuration in which it protrudes away from the free edge 90 towards the base wall 80.
- the tab 102 projects towards the free edge 90 with respect to the mean plane of the base 100.
- the free end 104 is located substantially in the middle plane of the annular base 100.
- the locking mechanism 18 is of the "bayonet” type. It thus comprises a plurality of locking pins 110 distributed around the periphery of the cover 16 and for each pin 110, a corresponding guide 112 disposed at the periphery of the container 12 on the neck 24.
- the pins 110 project radially towards the axis A-A 'with respect to the lateral wall 82 in the vicinity of the edge 90.
- the number of pions is 3. More generally, this number is between 2 and 4.
- the guides 112 are distributed around the periphery of the neck about the axis A-A 'defining between them spaces 118 for axial insertion of the pins 110.
- the number of guides 112 is equal to the number of pins 110.
- Each guide 112 comprises a circumferential rib 120 and a bottom stop 122.
- the rib 120 extends substantially parallel to the shoulder 30 facing it. It projects radially away from the axis A-A 'from the neck 24. Each rib 120 defines, at a free end, located in a space 118, an inclined cam surface 124 adapted to cooperate with the pin 110.
- the bottom stop 122 connects the rib 120 to the shoulder 30 extending axially.
- the rib 120, the bottom stop 122 and the shoulder 30 define between them a circumferential groove 126 for insertion of the pin 110, of a height substantially equal to the height of the pin 110.
- the cover 16 is movable relative to the container 12 and to the head 14 between a product dispensing position 10, shown in FIG. Figure 3 , an initial engagement position of the head, an intermediate position of closure engaged around the head 14, and a locked position of closure of the container 12, shown on the Figures 1 and 2 .
- the cover 16 In the position of use, the cover 16 is disposed completely away from the head 14 and the container 12. The head 14 has been extracted from the inner volume 84. The biasing member 86 occupies its rest configuration.
- the head 14 In the initial engagement position, the head 14 has been introduced at least partially into the volume 84 along the axis A-A '.
- the biasing member 86 occupies its rest configuration.
- the free end 104 is applied against the rotary applicator member 40.
- the cover 16 In the intermediate shutter position, the cover 16 has been moved along the axis AA 'to pass the biasing member 86 from its rest configuration to its distorted configuration. The biasing member 86 then maintains the rotary applicator member 40 in its inner position, applied against the seat 60.
- the pins 110 are passed through the spaces 118 and the cover 16 has then been pivoted about the axis A-A 'to insert the pins 110 in the grooves 116 defined by the guides 112.
- Each pin 110 is thus movable about the axis AA 'during the rotation of the cover 16 along the rib 120 and the cam surface 124 to a position in abutment against the bottom stop 122.
- the cooperation between each pin 110 and the cam surface 124 axially connects the cap 16 and the shoulder 30, further increasing the deformation of the biasing member 86.
- the head 14 and the neck 24 are received in the interior volume 84.
- the cover 16 is flush with the side wall 22 of the container 12 along the shoulder 30.
- the deformation will be the same in the locked position shutter.
- the rate of deformation of the biasing member 68 will depend on the weight applied by the container 12, and therefore on the evolution of the volume of product contained in this container 12 on the biasing member 68 .
- the cover 16 is placed in the dispensing position, away from the container 12.
- the outer portion 44 of the rotary applicator member 40 is placed in contact with the skin or keratin fibers of a user and is moved to enable product application.
- the rotary applicator member 40 rolls on the skin or the keratinous fibers. During this rolling, the rotary applicator member 40 is placed away from its internal position, which allows the passage of cosmetic product from the reservoir 28, through the dispensing opening 26, then into the channel 54, to the passage opening 66.
- the free end 104 of the deformable lug 102 of the biasing member 86 is applied to the rotary applicator member 40 in the initial engagement position and is deformed elastically towards the deformed configuration in the position intermediate shutter.
- the biasing member 86 then exerts via the tab 102, a biasing force of the rotary applicator member 40 towards its internal position applied against the sealing seat 60. This closes the annular passage 68 of circulation cosmetic product.
- the user rotates the cover 16 about the axis AA 'to make the pins 110 penetrate into the grooves 126 defined by the guides 112.
- the pins 110 cooperate with the cam surface 124, which causes an axial displacement of the cover 16 towards the container 12 and thus a firmer locking of the cover 16 on the container 12.
- the device 10 is then rotated head 14 downwards to stably apply the bearing surface 88 of the base wall 80 of the cover 16 to a flat support, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 .
- the axis AA 'of the container then extends substantially vertically in a stable manner.
- the base wall 80 of the container 12 is disposed away from the planar support.
- the weight of the cosmetic product contained in the reservoir 28, for example between 50 g and 75 g generates a downward force that applies to the assembly formed by the container 12 and the head 14. This force further promotes the locking the container 12 on the cover 16.
- a second device according to the invention 140 is represented on the Figures 5 and 6 .
- the member 86 for biasing the second device 140 comprises a base formed by a resiliently deformable dome 142 and an annular support sleeve 144 on the rotary applicator member 40 which is not necessarily deformable .
- the dome 142 is attached at its periphery to the side wall 82.
- the sleeve 144 projects from the dome 142 to the free edge 90 about the axis A-A '. In this example, it is integral with the dome 142. It defines a continuous edge 146 on a circumference for contact with the rotary applicator member 40.
- the dome 142 protrudes away from the base wall 80 with a concavity directed towards the free edge 90.
- the dome 142 has been deformed towards the base wall 80 and has a substantially planar configuration in a plane perpendicular to the axis A-A '.
- the operation of the second device 140 is moreover analogous to that of the first device.
- the sleeve 144 is replaced by at least one discontinuous tab on a circumference about the axis A-A '.
- the cover 16 is formed of several parts, for example a part forming the base wall 80 and another part forming the side wall 82, the parts being assembled together.
- the biasing member 86 is formed by a deformable portion of the base wall 80.
- the locking mechanism 18 may be screw or snap, the cover 16 is not necessarily rotatable about the axis A-A 'to pass into the locked position shutter.

Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de distribution d'un produit cosmétique, selon le préambule de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to a device for dispensing a cosmetic product, according to the preamble of
Par « produit cosmétique », on entend notamment un produit tel que défini dans la Directive du Conseil 93/55 CEE du 14 juin 1993."Cosmetic product" means in particular a product as defined in Council Directive 93/55 / EEC of 14 June 1993.
Un tel dispositif est destiné à distribuer un produit cosmétique en vue de son application sur la peau ou les fibres kératiniques d'un utilisateur.Such a device is intended to dispense a cosmetic product for application to the skin or keratin fibers of a user.
Il comprend généralement un contenant recevant le produit cosmétique et une tête de distribution de produit qui comporte un organe applicateur rotatif, tel qu'une bille ou un galet, monté dans une chape à une extrémité du contenant.It generally comprises a container receiving the cosmetic product and a product dispensing head which comprises a rotary applicator member, such as a ball or a roller, mounted in a yoke at one end of the container.
Le produit cosmétique est appliqué en faisant tourner l'organe applicateur rotatif dans la chape par contact avec la peau ou les fibres kératiniques de l'utilisateur. Le produit sort du contenant en passant entre l'organe applicateur rotatif et la chape.The cosmetic product is applied by rotating the rotary applicator member in the yoke by contact with the user's skin or keratin fibers. The product leaves the container passing between the rotary applicator member and the yoke.
Lorsque l'utilisateur a fini d'utiliser le dispositif, il place un capot sur le contenant autour de la tête de distribution pour l'obturer.When the user has finished using the device, he places a cover on the container around the dispensing head to close it.
Dans ces dispositifs, le contenant et le capot sont conformés de telle sorte que le dispositif est stocké verticalement sur un support horizontal avec sa tête de distribution dirigée vers le bas.In these devices, the container and the cover are shaped so that the device is stored vertically on a horizontal support with its dispensing head directed downwards.
Le contenant est ainsi conformé avec une paroi de fond qui empêche le maintien stable du dispositif tête en haut, alors que le capot définit une paroi de maintien stable tête en bas du dispositif sur un support horizontal.The container is thus shaped with a bottom wall which prevents the stable holding of the head-up device, while the cap defines a stable holding wall upside down of the device on a horizontal support.
Dans ces dispositifs, le produit cosmétique est susceptible de couler entre l'organe applicateur rotatif et la chape lors de son stockage, ce qui peut conduire à des coulures et des pertes de produit désagréables et coûteuses pour l'utilisateur.In these devices, the cosmetic product is likely to flow between the rotary applicator member and the yoke during storage, which can lead to sagging and product losses unpleasant and expensive for the user.
Pour pallier ce problème,
Par contre, des fuites de produit cosmétique hors du contenant peuvent toujours se produire si l'utilisateur referme mal le capot, notamment par manque de temps ou de force.By cons, cosmetic product leaks out of the container can still occur if the user closes the hood badly, especially for lack of time or strength.
Un but de l'invention est donc d'obtenir un dispositif de distribution de produit cosmétique comprenant un organe applicateur rotatif, qui peut être stocké tête en bas avec un risque très limité de fuite de produit cosmétique durant le stockage.An object of the invention is therefore to obtain a cosmetic product dispensing device comprising a rotary applicator member, which can be stored upside down with a very limited risk of cosmetic product leakage during storage.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif du type précité, caractérisé en ce que l'organe de sollicitation est déformable élastiquement par rapport au capot entre une configuration de repos qu'il occupe dans la position de distribution de produit et une configuration déformée élastiquement qu'il occupe dans la position d'obturation du contenant.For this purpose, the invention relates to a device of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the biasing member is elastically deformable relative to the cover between a rest configuration that it occupies in the product distribution position and a elastically deformed configuration that occupies in the closed position of the container.
Le dispositif selon l'invention peut comprendre l'une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques des revendications 2 à 10.The device according to the invention may comprise one or more of the features of claims 2 to 10.
L'invention a également pour objet un procédé selon la revendication 11.The invention also relates to a method according to claim 11.

Le manchon 50 présente intérieurement un siège annulaire 60 d'étanchéité destiné à recevoir la partie intérieure 46 de l'organe applicateur rotatif 40.The
Le bourrelet de montage 56 est engagé en force dans la gorge 32. La nervure d'appui 58 repose en appui sur le bord extérieur du col 24, extérieurement par rapport au bourrelet 56. Ainsi, la chape 42 est rendue solidaire du contenant 12. Dans une variante, la chape 42 est venue de matière avec le contenant 12.The
Le siège annulaire 60 définit un épaulement périphérique 62 de contour identique au contour extérieur d'une section transversale de la partie inférieure 46, cette section transversale étant inférieure à la section transversale maximale de l'organe applicateur rotatif 40.The
Le siège 60 fait saillie radialement vers l'axe A-A' dans le canal central 54.The
La jupe extérieure 52 fait saillie extérieurement à partir du manchon 50 le long de l'axe A-A' sur une hauteur inférieure à la hauteur de la bille 40. Elle s'étend jusqu'à un bord libre 64 en convergeant de manière galbée vers l'axe A-A'.The
La jupe extérieure 52 est pleine sur sa périphérie et définit le long du bord libre 64 une ouverture de passage 66 de l'organe applicateur rotatif 40.The
La section transversale extérieure de l'ouverture de passage 66, prise perpendiculairement à l'axe A-A', est inférieure à la section transversale maximale de l'organe applicateur rotatif 40.The outer cross section of the through
Le canal 54 s'étend axialement entre le réservoir 28 et l'ouverture de passage 66 dans lesquels il débouche.The
L'organe applicateur rotatif 40 est monté librement rotatif dans le canal 54. La partie intérieure 46 de l'organe applicateur rotatif et la jupe 52 en regard délimitent entre eux un passage annulaire 68 de distribution de produit situé à la périphérie du canal 54.The
L'organe applicateur rotatif 40 est déplaçable le long de l'axe A-A' dans le canal 54 entre une position intérieure d'obturation du passage annulaire 68 et une position extérieure de distribution de liquide à travers le passage 68.The
Dans la position intérieure, la partie inférieure 46 de l'organe applicateur rotatif 40 est disposée en appui sur l'épaulement 62 du siège 60 pour obturer de manière sensiblement étanche le réservoir 28 vers l'extérieur et empêcher le passage de produit cosmétique à travers le passage 68.In the internal position, the
Dans la position extérieure, le produit cosmétique est libre de s'écouler à la périphérie de l'organe applicateur rotatif 40 dans le passage 68 qui est alors dégagé, depuis le réservoir 28, à travers le canal 54, jusqu'à l'ouverture 66.In the outer position, the cosmetic product is free to flow at the periphery of the
Le capot 16 comprend une paroi de base 80 et une paroi latérale 82 qui fait saillie vers le contenant 12 à partir de la paroi de base 80, les parois 80 et 82 définissant un volume intérieur 84 de réception de la tête 14.The
Le capot 16 comprend en outre, selon l'invention, un organe 86 déformable élastiquement de sollicitation de l'organe applicateur rotatif 40 contre le siège 60.The
La paroi de base 80 délimite une surface extérieure d'appui plane 88 s'étendant à la périphérie de cette paroi 80.The
Cette surface 88 est conformée pour permettre le maintien stable tête 14 en bas du dispositif 10, avec l'axe A-A' sensiblement vertical, lorsque la surface d'appui 88 est appliquée sur le support horizontal, comme représenté sur la
La paroi latérale 82 présente une hauteur, prise le long de l'axe A-A' supérieure à la hauteur maximale de la tête 14.The
La paroi latérale 82 fait saillie autour de l'axe A-A' à partir de la paroi de base 80 jusqu'à un bord intérieur 90. Elle définit, au voisinage et à l'écart axialement de la paroi de base 80, des entretoises 92 de montage et de retenue axiale de l'organe de sollicitation 86. Les entretoises 92 sont venues de matière avec la paroi 82 et font saillie radialement vers l'axe A-A' dans le volume intérieur 84.The
Le bord libre 90 définit une ouverture d'insertion de la tête 14 de section transversale supérieure à la section transversale maximale de la tête 14. Le bord libre 90 présente un contour extérieur légèrement inférieur au contour extérieur de la paroi latérale 22 au voisinage de l'épaulement 30.The
Comme illustré par les
Plus généralement, le nombre de pattes 102 est supérieur ou égal à 1 et est compris avantageusement entre 1 et 6.More generally, the number of
Dans cet exemple, l'organe de sollicitation 86 est rapporté dans le capot 16 sur la paroi latérale 82. En variante, l'organe 86 est venu de matière avec le capot 16.In this example, the biasing
Cet organe 86 est avantageusement formé d'acétal ou d'un autre matériau permettant d'assurer l'effet ressort approprié.This
Dans une variante, cet organe 86 est un ressort métallique.In a variant, this
La base 100 est fixée dans la paroi 82 par insertion entre les entretoises 82. Elle est fixe axialement le long de l'axe A-A'.The
La patte 102 présente à son extrémité libre 104 un ergot d'application sur l'organe applicateur rotatif 40.The
La patte 102 est déformable par flexion entre une configuration de repos, représentée en pointillés sur la
Dans la configuration de repos, la patte 102 fait saillie vers le bord libre 90 par rapport au plan moyen de la base 100.In the rest configuration, the
Dans la configuration déformée, l'extrémité libre 104 est située sensiblement dans le plan moyen de la base annulaire 100.In the deformed configuration, the
Le mécanisme de verrouillage 18 est du type « à baïonnette ». Il comprend ainsi une pluralité de pions de verrouillage 110 répartis à la périphérie du capot 16 et pour chaque pion 110, un guide correspondant 112 disposé à la périphérie du contenant 12 sur le col 24.The
Les pions 110 font saillie radialement vers l'axe A-A' par rapport à la paroi latérale 82 au voisinage du bord 90.The
Dans l'exemple représenté sur la
Les guides 112 sont répartis à la périphérie du col autour de l'axe A-A' en définissant entre eux des espaces 118 d'insertion axiale des pions 110. Le nombre de guides 112 est égal au nombre de pions 110.The
Chaque guide 112 comprend une nervure circonférentielle 120 et une butée de fond 122.Each
La nervure 120 s'étend sensiblement parallèlement à l'épaulement 30 en regard de celui-ci. Elle fait saillie radialement à l'écart de l'axe A-A' à partir du col 24. Chaque nervure 120 définit, à une extrémité libre, située dans un espace 118, une surface de came 124 inclinée propre à coopérer avec le pion 110.The
La butée de fond 122 raccorde la nervure 120 à l'épaulement 30 en s'étendant axialement.The
La nervure 120, la butée de fond 122 et l'épaulement 30 définissent entre eux une gorge 126 circonférentielle d'insertion du pion 110, de hauteur sensiblement égale à la hauteur du pion 110.The
Le capot 16 est déplaçable par rapport au contenant 12 et à la tête 14 entre une position de distribution de produit 10, représentée sur la
Dans la position d'utilisation, le capot 16 est disposé totalement à l'écart de la tête 14 et du contenant 12. La tête 14 a été extraite hors du volume intérieur 84. L'organe de sollicitation 86 occupe sa configuration de repos.In the position of use, the
Dans la position initiale d'engagement, la tête 14 a été introduite au moins partiellement dans le volume 84 le long de l'axe A-A'. L'organe de sollicitation 86 occupe sa configuration de repos. L'extrémité libre 104 s'applique contre l'organe applicateur rotatif 40.In the initial engagement position, the
Dans la position intermédiaire d'obturation, le capot 16 a été déplacé le long de l'axe A-A' pour faire passer l'organe de sollicitation 86 de sa configuration de repos à sa configuration déformée. L'organe de sollicitation 86 maintient alors l'organe applicateur rotatif 40 dans sa position intérieure, appliqué contre le siège 60.In the intermediate shutter position, the
Dans la position d'obturation verrouillée, les pions 110 sont passés dans les espaces 118 et le capot 16 a ensuite été pivoté autour de l'axe A-A' pour insérer les pions 110 dans les gorges 116 définies par les guides 112.In the locked shutter position, the
Chaque pion 110 est ainsi mobile autour de l'axe A-A' lors de la rotation du capot 16 le long de la nervure 120 et de la surface de came 124 jusqu'à une position en butée contre la butée de fond 122. La coopération entre chaque pion 110 et la surface de came 124 rapproche axialement le capot 16 et l'épaulement 30, augmentant encore la déformation de l'organe de sollicitation 86.Each
La tête 14 et le col 24 sont reçus dans le volume intérieur 84. Le capot 16 affleure la paroi latérale 22 du contenant 12 le long de l'épaulement 30.The
On notera que quel que soit le poids total du contenant 12 y compris le produit qu'il contient, la déformation sera la même dans la position d'obturation verrouillée. Dans la position intermédiaire d'obturation, le taux de déformation de l'organe de sollicitation 68 dépendra du poids appliqué par le contenant 12, et donc de l'évolution du volume de produit contenu dans ce contenant 12 sur l'organe de sollicitation 68.Note that regardless of the total weight of the
Le fonctionnement du premier dispositif 10 selon l'invention va maintenant être décrit.The operation of the
Initialement, comme représenté sur la
Ainsi, l'organe applicateur rotatif 40 roule sur la peau ou les fibres kératiniques. Lors de ce roulement, l'organe applicateur rotatif 40 est placé à l'écart de sa position intérieure, ce qui autorise le passage de produit cosmétique depuis le réservoir 28, à travers l'ouverture de distribution 26, puis dans le canal 54, jusqu'à l'ouverture de passage 66.Thus, the
Lorsque l'utilisateur a terminé l'application de produit, il passe le capot 16 successivement dans sa position initiale d'engagement puis dans sa position intermédiaire d'obturation.When the user has finished the product application, he passes the
A cet effet, il insère la tête 14 et une partie du col 24 dans le volume intérieur 84 en plaçant les pions 110 en regard des espaces 118 de passage axial. Puis, il déplace axialement le capot 16 vers le contenant 12 en rapprochant le bord libre 90 vers l'épaulement 30.For this purpose, it inserts the
Lors de ce déplacement, l'extrémité libre 104 de la patte 102 déformable de l'organe de sollicitation 86 s'applique sur l'organe applicateur rotatif 40 dans la position initiale d'engagement et se déforme élastiquement vers la configuration déformée dans la position intermédiaire d'obturation.During this movement, the
L'organe de sollicitation 86 exerce alors par l'intermédiaire de la patte 102, une force de sollicitation de l'organe applicateur rotatif 40 vers sa position intérieure appliquée contre le siège d'étanchéité 60. Ceci obture le passage annulaire 68 de circulation de produit cosmétique.The biasing
Cette obturation se produit juste après que l'organe de sollicitation élastique 86 entre en contact avec l'organe applicateur rotatif 40 sans qu'il soit nécessaire que le capot 16 soit totalement verrouillé sur le contenant 12. Ainsi, même si l'utilisateur verrouille insuffisamment le capot 16 sur le contenant 12, le risque de fuite de produit hors du réservoir 28 à travers la tête 14 est très limité.This closure occurs just after the elastic biasing
Ceci est notamment vrai lorsque l'utilisateur place le contenant 12 tête en bas dans le capot 16, le capot 16 étant disposé de manière stable sur une surface horizontale, quelle que la soit la position angulaire de la tête de distribution par rapport au capot 16 autour de l'axe A-A'. Ainsi, l'organe de sollicitation 68 est déformé même lorsque les pions 110 sont placés à l'écart angulairement des espaces 118 butent axialement au-dessus des nervures 120 hors de la gorge 126.This is particularly true when the user places the
Puis, l'utilisateur entraîne en rotation le capot 16 autour de l'axe A-A' pour faire pénétrer les pions 110 dans les gorges 126 définies par les guides 112. Lors de ce passage, les pions 110 coopèrent avec la surface de came 124, ce qui provoque un déplacement axial du capot 16 vers le contenant 12 et donc un verrouillage plus ferme du capot 16 sur le contenant 12.Then, the user rotates the
Lors de ce déplacement, la déformation de la patte 102 élastique de l'organe de sollicitation 86 se poursuit pour atteindre la configuration déformée. Le capot 16 est alors fixe par rapport au contenant 12.During this movement, the deformation of the
Le dispositif 10 est ensuite tourné tête 14 en bas pour appliquer de manière stable la surface d'appui 88 de la paroi de base 80 du capot 16 sur un support plan, comme représenté sur la
Le poids du produit cosmétique contenu dans le réservoir 28, par exemple compris entre 50 g et 75 g engendre une force dirigée vers le bas qui s'applique sur l'ensemble formé par le contenant 12 et la tête 14. Cette force favorise encore le verrouillage du contenant 12 sur le capot 16.The weight of the cosmetic product contained in the
Cette force évite la sortie du produit lorsque le contenant 12 n'est pas encore verrouillé sur le capot 16, le contenant étant présenté tête en bas.This force prevents the exit of the product when the
La présence de l'organe de sollicitation 86, qui s'oppose à cette force, assure un maintien adéquat de l'étanchéité au niveau du siège 60, ce qui empêche les fuites de produit cosmétique à travers la tête 14 lors de son stockage tête en bas.The presence of the biasing
Un deuxième dispositif selon l'invention 140 est représenté sur les
A la différence du premier dispositif 10, l'organe 86 de sollicitation du deuxième dispositif 140 comprend une base formée par un dôme 142 déformable élastiquement et un manchon 144 annulaire d'appui sur l'organe applicateur rotatif 40 qui n'est pas nécessairement déformable.Unlike the
Le dôme 142 est fixé à sa périphérie sur la paroi latérale 82. Le manchon 144 fait saillie à partir du dôme 142 vers le bord libre 90 autour de l'axe A-A'. Dans cet exemple, il est venu de matière avec le dôme 142. Il définit un bord libre 146 continu sur une circonférence pour le contact avec l'organe applicateur rotatif 40.The
Dans la configuration de repos, représentée sur la
Dans la configuration déformée, représentée sur la
Le fonctionnement du deuxième dispositif 140 est par ailleurs analogue à celui du premier dispositif.The operation of the
Dans une variante de ce mode de réalisation, le manchon 144 est remplacé par au moins une patte discontinue sur une circonférence autour de l'axe A-A'.In a variant of this embodiment, the
Dans une variante du premier dispositif 10 et du deuxième dispositif 140, le capot 16 est formé de plusieurs pièces, par exemple une pièce formant la paroi de base 80 et une autre pièce formant la paroi latérale 82, les pièces étant assemblées entre elles.In a variant of the
Dans une autre variante, l'organe de sollicitation 86 est formé par une partie déformable de la paroi de base 80.In another variant, the biasing
Plus généralement, le mécanisme de verrouillage 18 peut être à vis ou à encliquetage, le capot 16 n'étant pas nécessairement rotatif autour de l'axe A-A' pour passer dans la position d'obturation verrouillée.More generally, the
