Description

L'invention se rapporte à un distributeur de produit.The invention relates to a product dispenser.

En particulier, l'invention se rapporte à un distributeur de produit, notamment cosmétique (tel que du rouge à lèvres), selon le préambule de la revendication 1.In particular, the invention relates to a product dispenser, in particular a cosmetic dispenser (such as lipstick), according to the preamble of claim 1.

Un distributeur de produit de ce type est connu du document US-2 485 161 .A product distributor of this type is known from the document US-2,485,161 .

Le document JP 58-171629 décrit, par ailleurs, un distributeur de produit du type précité dans lequel le logement comporte une surface de butée adaptée pour coopérer avec l'organe mobile pour définir la position d'utilisation dudit organe mobile.The document JP 58-171629 describes, moreover, a product dispenser of the aforementioned type wherein the housing comprises a stop surface adapted to cooperate with the movable member to define the position of use of said movable member.

Toutefois, les distributeurs connus n'offrent pas une maîtrise satisfaisante de la position d'utilisation, en particulier au cours du temps.However, the known distributors do not offer satisfactory control of the position of use, especially over time.

L'invention vise à pallier le problème évoqué ci-dessus.The invention aims to overcome the problem mentioned above.

A cet effet, l'invention propose un distributeur de produit tel que défini dans la revendication 1.For this purpose, the invention provides a product dispenser as defined in claim 1.

La position d'utilisation ainsi définie reste la même à chaque utilisation du distributeur, et ce tout au long de la durée de vie du distributeur. Il en résulte une meilleure maîtrise de la position d'utilisation, notamment dans le temps.The position of use thus defined remains the same with each use of the dispenser, and this throughout the life of the dispenser. This results in better control of the position of use, especially over time.

Par ailleurs, selon des dispositions particulières, la position d'utilisation étant définie par la surface de butée, l'organe d'actionnement, par exemple sous la forme d'un organe élastique, peut assurer la seule fonction de rappel de l'organe mobile dans la position d'utilisation. Les contraintes de montage de l'organe d'actionnement peuvent ainsi être allégées, ce qui permet de simplifier l'assemblage du distributeur.Furthermore, according to particular arrangements, the position of use being defined by the abutment surface, the actuating member, for example in the form of an elastic member, can ensure the sole function of returning the organ mobile in the use position. The mounting constraints of the actuating member can thus be lightened, which simplifies the assembly of the dispenser.

En outre, en agissant sur le positionnement de la surface de butée, il est possible d'optimiser de manière simple la visibilité du miroir.In addition, by acting on the positioning of the abutment surface, it is possible to simply optimize the visibility of the mirror.

La surface de butée est agencée sensiblement transversalement par rapport à l'axe central pour être en contact avec l'organe mobile en position d'utilisation.The abutment surface is arranged substantially transversely to the central axis to be in contact with the movable member in the use position.

Par ailleurs, l'organe d'actionnement peut être adapté pour presser l'organe mobile en position d'utilisation contre la surface de butée.Furthermore, the actuating member may be adapted to press the movable member in the use position against the abutment surface.

L'étui comporte intérieurement au moins un évidement ménagé dans la paroi latérale, ledit évidement présentant la surface de butée.The case has internally at least one recess in the side wall, said recess having the abutment surface.

Pour assurer un verrouillage du dispositif applicateur sur l'étui lorsque l'étui est placé sur le dispositif applicateur pour le recouvrir, on peut prévoir que le dispositif applicateur comprenne un élément d'accrochage adapté pour s'encliqueter dans l'évidement lorsque le dispositif applicateur est reçu dans le logement de l'étui.To ensure a locking of the applicator device on the case when the case is placed on the applicator device to cover it, it can be provided that the applicator device comprises a fastening element adapted to snap into the recess when the device applicator is received in the housing of the case.

Pour assurer le guidage et un déplacement régulier de l'organe mobile dans le logement, l'organe mobile comporte au moins un élément de guidage configuré pour être en contact avec une surface intérieure de l'étui et pour être en contact avec la surface de butée en position d'utilisation de l'organe mobile.To provide guiding and regular movement of the movable member in the housing, the movable member comprises at least one guiding element configured to be in contact with an inner surface of the case and to be in contact with the surface of the housing. stop in the position of use of the movable member.

En particulier, l'élément de guidage est une languette déformable élastiquement s'étendant selon l'axe central vers l'ouverture jusqu'à une extrémité libre en contact avec la surface intérieure de l'étui, ladite extrémité libre étant en contact avec la surface de butée en position d'utilisation de l'organe mobile.In particular, the guide element is an elastically deformable tongue extending along the central axis towards the opening to a free end in contact with the inner surface of the holster, said free end being in contact with the abutment surface in the position of use of the movable member.

Dans un mode de réalisation, le miroir peut s'étendre perpendiculairement à l'axe central.In one embodiment, the mirror may extend perpendicular to the central axis.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le miroir peut s'étendre parallèlement à l'axe central. L'organe mobile peut alors comprendre un support comportant un espace de réception qui s'étend selon l'axe central, ledit espace de réception étant ouvert du côté de l'ouverture de l'étui pour recevoir le dispositif applicateur. Le support présente une surface extérieure portant le miroir.In another embodiment, the mirror may extend parallel to the central axis. The movable member may then comprise a support having a receiving space which extends along the central axis, said receiving space being open on the side of the opening of the case to receive the applicator device. The support has an outer surface carrying the mirror.

Le distributeur selon l'invention est particulièrement adapté pour appliquer un produit solide ou pâteux destiné à être déposé sur les lèvres dans le cadre d'un usage cosmétique ou pharmaceutique.The dispenser according to the invention is particularly suitable for applying a solid or pasty product intended to be deposited on the lips in the context of a cosmetic or pharmaceutical use.

Dans une application particulière du distributeur, le dispositif applicateur comprend un produit à usage cosmétique pour le soin et/ou le maquillage des lèvres, en particulier un bâton de rouge à lèvres.In a particular application of the dispenser, the applicator device comprises a product for cosmetic use for the care and / or makeup of the lips, in particular a lipstick stick.

D'une manière générale, le distributeur selon l'invention peut être utilisé dès lors que l'opérateur a besoin de voir la zone destinée à recevoir le produit contenu dans le dispositif applicateur. Dans le domaine cosmétique, on peut également utiliser le distributeur selon l'invention pour appliquer un produit anti-cernes au niveau du contour des yeux.In general, the dispenser according to the invention can be used as soon as the operator needs to see the area intended to receive the product contained in the applicator device. In the cosmetic field, it is also possible to use the dispenser according to the invention for applying a concealer to the contour of the eyes.

Dans un but d'illustration, la suite de la description est faite avec un raisin de rouge à lèvres comme produit contenu dans le dispositif applicateur.For purposes of illustration, the following description is made with a lipstick grape as product contained in the applicator device.

Par ailleurs, au sens de la présente demande, on entend par le terme miroir d'une manière générale tout élément solide comportant une surface polie plane ou sensiblement plane capable de réfléchir les rayons lumineux, de sorte que l'utilisateur puisse distinguer l'image renvoyée par cette surface.Moreover, within the meaning of the present application, the term "mirror" is generally understood to mean any solid element comprising a plane or substantially flat polished surface capable of reflecting the rays. bright, so that the user can distinguish the image returned by this surface.

La surface réfléchissante est une surface capable par réflexion de la lumière incidente de reproduire une image visible par l'utilisateur. A titre d'exemples, la surface réfléchissante peut être obtenue par dépôt sous vide d'une couche métallique directement sur l'organe mobile 35, d'un film plastique recouvert d'une telle couche et collé sur l'organe mobile 35, ou d'une plaque métallique polie, typiquement en aluminium.The reflective surface is a surface capable of reflecting incident light to reproduce a visible image by the user. By way of examples, the reflecting surface may be obtained by vacuum deposition of a metal layer directly on the movable member 35, a plastic film covered with such a layer and bonded to the movable member 35, or a polished metal plate, typically aluminum.

Avantageusement, dans les modes de réalisation décrits, le miroir est un miroir classique en verre, par exemple plan.Advantageously, in the embodiments described, the mirror is a conventional glass mirror, for example planar.

Dans un premier mode de réalisation qui ne fait pas partie de l'invention, représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, le dispositif applicateur s'étend selon un axe A et comprend une base 5, une gaine 15 montée sur la base 5 et un godet 16, aussi appelé cupule, monté sur la gaine 15.In a first embodiment which does not form part of the invention, represented on the figures 1 and 2 , the applicator device extends along an axis A and comprises a base 5, a sheath 15 mounted on the base 5 and a bucket 16, also called a cup, mounted on the sheath 15.

La base 5 présente une paroi latérale 6 tubulaire de section rectangulaire s'étendant depuis une paroi transversale 7 rectangulaire jusqu'à un bord libre 8. La paroi latérale 6 entoure un manchon 9 tubulaire centré sur l'axe A du dispositif applicateur et qui s'étend depuis la paroi transversale 7.The base 5 has a tubular side wall 6 of rectangular section extending from a rectangular transverse wall 7 to a free edge 8. The side wall 6 surrounds a tubular sleeve 9 centered on the axis A of the applicator device and which extends from the transverse wall 7.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, le dispositif applicateur comporte une ferrule 10 tubulaire présentant une partie centrale 12 qui surmonte le bord libre 8 de la base 5 de sorte que la surface extérieure de la partie centrale 12 affleure la surface extérieure de la base 5. En particulier, la ferrule 10 comporte des deux parties amincies 11, 13 disposées de part et d'autre de la partie centrale 12 par rapport à l'axe A du dispositif applicateur. L'une 11 des parties amincies est emmanchée dans la base 5, l'autre partie amincie 13 formant une partie d'emmanchement sur laquelle l'étui 20 peut être emmanché. En variante, la partie d'emmanchement pourrait être réalisée directement sur la paroi latérale 6 de la base 5.In the embodiment shown, the applicator device comprises a tubular ferrule 10 having a central portion 12 which overcomes the free edge 8 of the base 5 so that the outer surface of the central portion 12 is flush with the outer surface of the base 5. In particular, the ferrule 10 has two thinned portions 11, 13 disposed on either side of the central portion 12 relative to the axis A of the applicator device. One of the thinned parts is fitted in the base 5, the other thinned portion 13 forming a fitting portion on which the case 20 can be fitted. Alternatively, the fitting portion could be made directly on the side wall 6 of the base 5.

La gaine 15 est tubulaire de section circulaire et s'étend entre une extrémité emmanchée sur le manchon 9 de la base 5 de manière à pouvoir pivoter selon l'axe A du dispositif applicateur, et une extrémité libre 17.The sheath 15 is tubular of circular section and extends between an end fitted on the sleeve 9 of the base 5 so as to pivot along the axis A of the applicator device, and a free end 17.

Le godet 16 est monté coulissant à l'intérieur de la gaine 15 et est configuré pour recevoir le raisin de rouge à lèvres 2.The cup 16 is slidably mounted inside the sheath 15 and is configured to receive the lipstick raisin 2.

De façon connue en soi, le dispositif applicateur comprend des éléments de couplage, par exemple sous la forme de rainures et d'ergots, ménagés sur la base 5, la gaine 15 et le godet 16 de telle sorte qu'une rotation de la gaine 15 par rapport à la base 5 selon l'axe A du dispositif applicateur provoque une translation du godet 16 le long de l'axe A du dispositif applicateur.In a manner known per se, the applicator device comprises coupling elements, for example in the form of grooves and lugs, formed on the base 5, the sheath 15 and the bucket 16 so that a rotation of the sheath 15 relative to the base 5 along the axis A of the applicator device causes a displacement of the bucket 16 along the axis A of the applicator device.

Le raisin de rouge à lèvres 2 placé sur le godet 16 peut ainsi être déplacé entre une position de rangement, dans laquelle il est entièrement logé dans la gaine 15, et une position d'application, dans laquelle il fait saillie par rapport à l'extrémité libre 17 de la gaine.The lipstick raisin 2 placed on the cup 16 can thus be moved between a storage position, in which it is entirely housed in the sheath 15, and an application position, in which it protrudes with respect to the free end 17 of the sheath.

Sur les figures 1 et 2, l'étui 20 est cylindrique selon un axe central B et comporte un fond 21 et une paroi latérale 25.On the figures 1 and 2 the case 20 is cylindrical about a central axis B and has a bottom 21 and a side wall 25.

Le fond 21 comporte une paroi transversale par rapport à l'axe central B, rectangulaire, et une jupe de guidage 22 annulaire qui s'étend depuis la paroi transversale selon l'axe central B. La jupe de guidage présente extérieurement un bourrelet de maintien 23 annulaire. Dans le premier mode de réalisation, le fond 21 est rapporté et solidarisé de façon appropriée à une extrémité de la paroi latérale 25.The bottom 21 has a transverse wall relative to the central axis B, rectangular, and an annular guide skirt 22 which extends from the transverse wall along the central axis B. The guide skirt externally has a holding bead 23 ring. In the first embodiment, the bottom 21 is attached and appropriately secured to one end of the side wall 25.

La paroi latérale 25 est tubulaire de section rectangulaire et s'étend selon l'axe central B depuis le fond 21 jusqu'à un bord libre 26. La paroi latérale 25 et le fond 21 présentent des surfaces intérieures qui délimitent un logement 27 adapté pour recevoir coaxialement une partie du dispositif applicateur, le bord libre 26 de la paroi latérale 25 délimitant une ouverture d'accès au logement 27.The side wall 25 is tubular of rectangular section and extends along the central axis B from the bottom 21 to a free edge 26. The side wall 25 and the bottom 21 have inner surfaces which delimit a housing 27 adapted to coaxially receiving a portion of the applicator device, the free edge 26 of the side wall 25 delimiting an access opening to the housing 27.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, il est prévu que le logement 27 reçoive la partie du dispositif applicateur composée de la partie d'emmanchement 13 et d'une partie de la gaine 15. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, le logement 27 pourrait recevoir d'autres parties du dispositif applicateur ou le dispositif applicateur entier, des moyens d'extraction du dispositif applicateur étant prévus dans ce dernier cas.In the embodiment shown, it is provided that the housing 27 receives the portion of the applicator device composed of the fitting portion 13 and a portion of the sheath 15. In other embodiments, the housing 27 could receiving other parts of the applicator device or the entire applicator device, extraction means of the applicator device being provided in the latter case.

Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 1 et 3, l'étui 20 comporte à l'intérieur du logement 27 une ou plusieurs butées 28 en saillie de la paroi latérale 25. Par exemple, quatre butées 28 rigides, venues de matière avec la paroi latérale 25 peuvent être disposées à chaque coin du logement 27, à proximité de l'ouverture de l'étui 20. Chaque butée 28 présente une surface inférieure sensiblement transversale par rapport à l'axe central B et en regard du fond 21. Les surfaces inférieures des butées 28 forment une surface de butée 30 visant à limiter le déplacement de l'organe mobile 35 dans le logement 27 vers l'ouverture.As can be seen on the figures 1 and 3 , the case 20 comprises inside the housing 27 one or more stops 28 projecting from the side wall 25. For example, four rigid stops 28, integral with the side wall 25 may be arranged at each corner of the housing 27, close to the opening of the case 20. Each stop 28 has a lower surface substantially transverse to the central axis B and facing the bottom 21. The lower surfaces of the abutments 28 form an abutment surface 30 to limit the movement of the movable member 35 in the housing 27 to the opening.

Sur les figures 2 et 3, l'organe mobile 35 comprend un support 36 et un miroir 46.On the figures 2 and 3 the movable member 35 comprises a support 36 and a mirror 46.

Le support 36 comporte une plaque 37 de forme rectangulaire depuis une face de laquelle s'étendent perpendiculairement des pieds 38 et un manchon de guidage 39, centré. Le manchon de guidage 39 est adapté pour pouvoir entourer la jupe de guidage 22 de l'étui 20 et présente intérieurement un bourrelet de maintien 40 annulaire.The support 36 comprises a plate 37 of rectangular shape from a face of which extend perpendicularly feet 38 and a guide sleeve 39, centered. The guide sleeve 39 is adapted to be able to surround the guide skirt 22 of the case 20 and internally has an annular support bead 40.

Le miroir 46 est fixé à la plaque 36, sur la face opposée aux pieds 38 et au manchon de guidage 39.The mirror 46 is fixed to the plate 36 on the face opposite to the feet 38 and to the guide sleeve 39.

Le support 36 est monté entre le fond 21 de l'étui et les butées 28 de sorte que la plaque 37 et le miroir 46 s'étendent perpendiculairement à l'axe central B, le miroir 46 est quant à lui tourné vers l'ouverture de l'étui 20 et les pieds 38 et le manchon de guidage 39 sont dirigés vers le fond 21 de l'étui.The support 36 is mounted between the bottom 21 of the case and the stops 28 so that the plate 37 and the mirror 46 extend perpendicular to the central axis B, the mirror 46 is turned towards the opening of the case 20 and the feet 38 and the guide sleeve 39 are directed towards the bottom 21 of the case.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté aux figures 2 et 3, un organe élastique sous la forme d'un ressort de compression 50, présentant une longueur à vide et une raideur déterminées, est monté entre le fond 21 et l'organe mobile 35. En particulier, l'une des extrémités du ressort 50 est emmanchée sur la jupe de guidage 22 du fond 21 de l'étui et l'autre extrémité est emmanchée dans le manchon de guidage 39 du support. La jupe de guidage 22 et le manchon de guidage 39 forment des sièges sur lesquels le ressort de compression 50 est retenu au moyen des bourrelets de maintien 23, 40. Avantageusement, selon un mode de réalisation, on utilise un ressort conique ou double conique afin de gagner le plus de place possible.In the embodiment shown in figures 2 and 3 , an elastic member in the form of a compression spring 50, having a specified idle length and stiffness, is mounted between the bottom 21 and the movable member 35. In particular, one of the ends of the spring 50 is fitted on the guide skirt 22 of the bottom 21 of the case and the other end is fitted into the guide sleeve 39 of the support. The guide skirt 22 and the guide sleeve 39 form seats on which the compression spring 50 is retained by means of the holding beads 23, 40. Advantageously, according to one embodiment, a conical or double conical spring is used to to win as much space as possible.

Le support 36 est alors déplaçable à l'intérieur du logement 27 selon l'axe central B entre une position escamotée, représentée sur la figure 2, et une position d'utilisation, représentée sur les figures 1 et 3.The support 36 is then movable inside the housing 27 along the central axis B between a retracted position, represented on the figure 2 , and a position of use, represented on the figures 1 and 3 .

La position d'utilisation est définie par la surface de butée contre laquelle l'organe mobile vient en contact sous l'effet du ressort de compression 50.The position of use is defined by the abutment surface against which the movable member comes into contact under the effect of the compression spring 50.

En particulier, le ressort de compression 50 sollicite élastiquement le support 36 vers la position d'utilisation, dans laquelle l'organe mobile 35 est écarté du fond 21 et pressé contre les butées 28, le miroir 46 se trouvant ainsi à proximité de l'ouverture de l'étui 20. Les butées 28 sont agencées à une distance du fond 21 strictement inférieure à la longueur à vide du ressort de compression 50 afin de s'assurer que l'organe mobile 35 vient en butée sur la surface de butée 30 formée par les butées 28 en position d'utilisation.In particular, the compression spring 50 resiliently biases the support 36 towards the position of use, in which the movable member 35 is spaced from the bottom 21 and pressed against the stops 28, the mirror 46 being thus close to the opening of the case 20. The stops 28 are arranged at a distance from the bottom 21 strictly less than the empty length of the compression spring 50 to ensure that the movable member 35 abuts on the abutment surface 30 formed by the stops 28 in the position of use.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2, l'organe mobile 35 est rapproché du fond 21, dans la position escamotée, lorsque l'étui 20 est placé sur le dispositif applicateur. En particulier, on peut prévoir que l'extrémité libre 17 de la gaine appuie sur le miroir 46 contre la force du ressort de compression 50 pour ramener et maintenir l'organe mobile 35 dans la position escamotée.As can be seen on the figure 2 , the movable member 35 is brought closer to the bottom 21, in the retracted position, when the case 20 is placed on the applicator device. In particular, it can be provided that the free end 17 of the sheath presses on the mirror 46 against the force of the compression spring 50 to return and hold the movable member 35 in the retracted position.

Dans le premier mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 1 à 3, le montage de l'organe mobile 35 dans le logement 27 se fait à l'opposé de l'ouverture avant la mise en place du fond 21. On pourrait toutefois prévoir d'autres formes de réalisation des butées, par exemple sous forme de languettes flexibles s'étendant axialement vers le fond 21, permettant un montage de l'organe mobile 35 par l'ouverture.In the first embodiment shown on the Figures 1 to 3 , the mounting of the movable member 35 in the housing 27 is opposite the opening before the introduction of the bottom 21. It could however provide other embodiments of the stops, for example in the form of flexible tongues extending axially towards the bottom 21, allowing mounting of the movable member 35 through the opening.

D'autres modifications peuvent être apportées au dispositif applicateur, à l'étui 20 ou à l'organe mobile 35. Par exemple, dans une variante représentée sur la figure 4, le siège du ressort de compression 50 sur le fond 21 de l'étui est formé par un relief en creux 24.Other modifications may be made to the applicator device, the case 20 or the movable member 35. For example, in a variant shown in FIG. figure 4 , the seat of the compression spring 50 on the bottom 21 of the case is formed by a recessed relief 24.

En outre, dans d'autres modes de réalisation, le ressort de compression 50 peut être remplacé pour tout organe d'actionnement, notamment de type vérin ou autre, adapté pour solliciter l'organe mobile 35 vers la position d'utilisation.In addition, in other embodiments, the compression spring 50 can be replaced for any actuating member, in particular cylinder-type or other, adapted to bias the movable member 35 to the position of use.

En relation avec les figures 5 à 10, on décrit un deuxième mode de réalisation du bâton de rouge à lèvres conforme à l'invention.In relation to Figures 5 to 10 a second embodiment of the lipstick stick according to the invention is described.

Comme pour le premier mode de réalisation, le bâton de rouge à lèvres selon le deuxième mode de réalisation comprend le dispositif applicateur précédemment décrit ainsi qu'un étui 20 et un organe mobile 35 analogues à ceux précédemment décrits.As for the first embodiment, the lipstick stick according to the second embodiment comprises the applicator device previously described and a case 20 and a movable member 35 similar to those described above.

Le deuxième mode de réalisation diffère toutefois du premier mode de réalisation essentiellement par la réalisation de la surface de butée 30 contre laquelle l'organe mobile 35 est en contact en position d'utilisation.The second embodiment, however, differs from the first embodiment essentially by the realization of the abutment surface 30 against which the movable member 35 is in contact in the position of use.

Dans le deuxième mode de réalisation, le support 36 représenté sur la figure 7 comporte deux parois de piètement 41 qui s'étendent perpendiculairement depuis deux côtés opposés de la plaque 37. Deux languettes 42 déformables élastiquement sont formées sur les parois de piètement 41 par des découpes des parois de piètement 41. Les languettes 42 s'étendent globalement perpendiculairement à la plaque 37 jusqu'à une extrémité libre à proximité de la plaque 37. Les languettes 42 sont coudées de sorte que les extrémités libres sont écartées vers l'extérieur par rapport au reste des parois de piètement 41.In the second embodiment, the support 36 represented on the figure 7 comprises two base walls 41 which extend perpendicularly from two opposite sides of the plate 37. Two elastically deformable tabs 42 are formed on the base walls 41 by cutouts of the base walls 41. The tabs 42 extend generally perpendicularly. the plate 37 to a free end near the plate 37. The tabs 42 are bent so that the free ends are spaced outwardly relative to the rest of the base walls 41.

Une fois le support 36 placé dans le logement 27, comme visible sur la figure 6, les languettes 42 s'étendant globalement selon l'axe central B vers l'ouverture, les extrémités libres venant en contact avec la surface intérieure de la paroi latérale 25. Les languettes 42 forment alors des éléments de guidage assurant le guidage et la régularité du déplacement du support 36 dans le logement 27 du fait de la friction des extrémités libres sur la surface intérieure de la paroi latérale 25.Once the support 36 placed in the housing 27, as visible on the figure 6 , the tabs 42 extending generally along the central axis B towards the opening, the free ends coming into contact with the inner surface of the side wall 25. The tongues 42 then form guiding elements ensuring the guiding and the regularity of the movement of the support 36 in the housing 27 due to the friction of the free ends on the inner surface of the side wall 25.

En variante, le support 36 pourrait comprendre un ou plus de deux éléments de guidage de toute forme appropriée.Alternatively, the carrier 36 could include one or more guide members of any suitable shape.

Sur les figures 8 et 9, l'étui 20 comporte intérieurement deux évidements 34 ménagé dans deux côtés opposés de la paroi latérale 25. Chaque évidement 34 présente une surface sensiblement transversale par rapport à l'axe central B, dirigée vers le fond 21 et placée à proximité de l'ouverture de l'étui 20. Les surfaces transversales des évidements 34 forment la surface de butée 30 contre laquelle l'organe mobile 35 vient en butée en position d'utilisation.On the figures 8 and 9 , the case 20 internally comprises two recesses 34 formed in two opposite sides of the side wall 25. Each recess 34 has a substantially transverse surface relative to the central axis B, directed towards the bottom 21 and placed near the opening of the case 20. The transverse surfaces of the recesses 34 form the abutment surface 30 against which the movable member 35 abuts in the position of use.

En particulier, lorsque le support 36 arrive en position d'utilisation, les languettes 42, du fait de leur élasticité, se déploient dans les évidements 34 et les extrémités libres viennent en contact avec la surface de butée 30. Les languettes 42 et la surface de butée 30 peuvent être agencées pour que le miroir 46 affleure le bord libre 26 de l'étui en position d'utilisation.In particular, when the support 36 reaches the position of use, the tongues 42, due to their elasticity, deploy in the recesses 34 and the free ends come into contact with the abutment surface 30. The tongues 42 and the surface stop 30 can be arranged so that the mirror 46 is flush with the free edge 26 of the holster in the use position.

Selon ce deuxième mode de réalisation, il est possible d'utiliser tout type de miroir en verre, en particulier ceux ayant une surface sensiblement plane, typiquement concave, afin d'obtenir des effets optiques, typiquement un grossissement, au niveau de la zone sur laquelle le produit doit être appliqué.According to this second embodiment, it is possible to use any type of glass mirror, in particular those having a substantially flat surface, typically concave, in order to obtain optical effects, typically a magnification, at the level of the zone on which product should be applied.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 10, la partie d'emmanchement 13 du dispositif applicateur comprend alors en outre un élément d'accrochage, tel qu'un bourrelet 14 déformable élastiquement, agencé pour s'encliqueter dans l'évidement 34 lorsque le dispositif applicateur est reçu dans le logement 27 de l'étui. L'étui 20 est ainsi retenu sur le dispositif applicateur, l'organe mobile 35 étant en position escamoté comme expliqué précédemment.As can be seen on the figure 10 , the fitting portion 13 of the applicator device then further comprises a fastening element, such as a bead 14 elastically deformable, arranged to snap into the recess 34 when the applicator device is received in the housing 27 of the case. The case 20 is thus retained on the applicator device, the movable member 35 being in the retracted position as explained above.

Dans le deuxième mode de réalisation, le montage de l'organe mobile 35 dans le logement 27 peut être réalisé par l'ouverture. Le fond 21 de l'étui peut donc être formé en une seule pièce avec la paroi latérale 25.In the second embodiment, the mounting of the movable member 35 in the housing 27 can be achieved by the opening. The bottom 21 of the case can thus be formed in one piece with the side wall 25.

Sur les figures 11 et 12, on représente un troisième mode de réalisation du bâton de rouge à lèvres conforme à l'invention.On the figures 11 and 12 there is shown a third embodiment of the lipstick stick according to the invention.

Le bâton de rouge à lèvres selon le troisième mode de réalisation comprend le dispositif applicateur et l'étui 20 décrit précédemment en relation avec le deuxième mode de réalisation, ainsi qu'un organe mobile 35 analogue à celui décrit précédemment en relation avec le deuxième mode de réalisation.The lipstick stick according to the third embodiment comprises the applicator device and the case 20 described above in connection with the second embodiment, as well as a movable member 35 similar to that described above in connection with the second embodiment. of realization.

En particulier, comme visible sur la figure 12, le support 36 du bâton de rouge à lèvres selon le troisième mode de réalisation comporte une ou plusieurs languettes 42 en contact avec la surface intérieure de la paroi latérale 25 de l'étui pour guider son déplacement et venir en butée contre la surface d'arrêt 30 d'un ou plusieurs évidements 34 formés dans la paroi latérale 25 en position d'utilisation.In particular, as visible on the figure 12 , the support 36 of the lipstick stick according to the third embodiment comprises one or more tabs 42 in contact with the inner surface of the side wall 25 of the case to guide its movement and abut against the surface of stopping 30 of one or more recesses 34 formed in the side wall 25 in the use position.

Le bâton de rouge à lèvres selon le troisième mode de réalisation diffère de celui selon le deuxième mode de réalisation essentiellement par la forme du support 36 et l'agencement du miroir 46.The lipstick stick according to the third embodiment differs from that according to the second embodiment essentially by the shape of the support 36 and the arrangement of the mirror 46.

Le support 36 comporte une paroi latérale 43 tubulaire de section rectangulaire qui s'étend selon l'axe central B depuis la plaque transversale 37. La paroi latérale 43 et la plaque 37 définissent un espace de réception 44 cylindrique ouvert du côté de l'ouverture de l'étui 20 et adapté pour recevoir la gaine 15 du dispositif applicateur lorsque l'étui 20 est placé sur le dispositif applicateur.The support 36 has a rectangular tubular side wall 43 which extends along the central axis B from the transverse plate 37. The side wall 43 and the plate 37 define a cylindrical receiving space 44 open on the opening side. of the case 20 and adapted to receive the sheath 15 of the applicator device when the case 20 is placed on the applicator device.

Afin d'augmenter les dimensions de la surface réfléchissante 45, le miroir 46 est fixé sur une surface extérieure du support 36 et s'étend parallèlement à l'axe central B.In order to increase the dimensions of the reflecting surface 45, the mirror 46 is fixed on an outer surface of the support 36 and extends parallel to the central axis B.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 11, dans la position d'utilisation, la majeure partie du miroir 46 sort de l'étui, ce qui améliore la visibilité de la surface réfléchissante 45. Avec un tel agencement du miroir 46, on peut prévoir sur la paroi latérale 25 des éléments adaptés pour essuyer le miroir 46 lors du déplacement du support 36.As can be seen on the figure 11 in the position of use, the major part of the mirror 46 comes out of the case, which improves the visibility of the reflecting surface 45. With such an arrangement of the mirror 46, suitable elements can be provided on the side wall 25. to wipe the mirror 46 when moving the support 36.

La figure 13 représente une variante du troisième mode de réalisation dans laquelle le miroir 46 parallèle à l'axe central B est fixé au support 36 dépourvu de paroi latérale. L'organe mobile 35 présente alors une forme générale de L.The figure 13 represents a variant of the third embodiment in which the mirror 46 parallel to the central axis B is fixed to the support 36 devoid of side wall. The movable member 35 then has a general shape of L.

Dans les modes de réalisation représentés, le distributeur 1, et en particulier la base 5, l'étui 20 et le support 36, a une section globalement rectangulaire. L'invention n'est toutefois pas limitée à une telle section.In the embodiments shown, the dispenser 1, and in particular the base 5, the case 20 and the support 36, has a generally rectangular section. The invention is however not limited to such a section.

On peut par exemple prévoir, en variante représentée sur les figures 14 et 15, que la section du distributeur soit globalement circulaire.For example, it is possible, as a variant, to Figures 14 and 15 , that the section of the distributor is globally circular.

Dans le distributeur 1 des figures 14 et 15, illustré comme une variante du deuxième mode de réalisation décrit précédemment mais transposable aux autres modes de réalisation, des organes de verrouillage du dispositif applicateur sur l'étui 20 sont prévus.In the distributor 1 of Figures 14 and 15 , illustrated as a variant of the second embodiment described above but transferable to other embodiments, locking members of the applicator device on the case 20 are provided.

Ces organes de verrouillage comprennent par exemple deux ergots 60 formés sur la partie d'emmanchement 13, et deux rainures 61 en L formés dans la surface intérieure de l'étui 20 et débouchant sur le bord libre 26 de l'étui. Chaque rainure 61 en L présente une partie transversale 63 s'étendant depuis une partie axiale 62 sensiblement sur un quart de la circonférence de l'étui 20.These locking members comprise for example two lugs 60 formed on the fitting portion 13, and two grooves 61 L formed in the inner surface of the case 20 and opening on the free edge 26 of the case. Each groove 61 L has a transverse portion 63 extending from an axial portion 62 substantially over a quarter of the circumference of the case 20.

Le verrouillage du dispositif applicateur sur l'étui 20 est obtenu en insérant les ergots 60 dans les rainures 61 en L par les parties axiales 62 et en tournant le dispositif applicateur par rapport à l'étui 20 d'un quart de tour.The locking of the applicator device on the case 20 is obtained by inserting the lugs 60 in the grooves 61 L by the axial portions 62 and rotating the applicator device relative to the case 20 a quarter of a turn.
