Sur les figures l a et l b, le capot 1 a été représenté transparent afin de pouvoir visualiser les organes internes du dispositif. On voit sur ces figures le couvercle 2 du capot 1 , muni d'un écran d'affichage 3. On voit par ailleurs, à travers le capot 1 , le réceptacle à déchets 8 pour l'eau de rinçage et les capsules vides de composants actifs.  In FIGS. 1a and 1b, the cover 1 has been shown transparent in order to be able to visualize the internal organs of the device. These figures show the cover 2 of the cover 1, provided with a display screen 3. Furthermore, through the cover 1, the waste receptacle 8 for the rinsing water and the empty capsules of components assets.
Le couvercle 2 comporte enfin une fente 9 pour l'introduction d'une ou plusieurs capsules de composants actifs dans une goulotte de réception 10. Ces capsules contiennent chacune un composant actif qui sera mélangé à l'aide du dispositif avec un ou plusieurs composants de base contenu dans des pots 1 1 installés dans le dispositif par l'utilisateur, par exemple par vissage quart de tour, après ouverture du couvercle.  The lid 2 finally has a slot 9 for the introduction of one or more capsules of active components into a receiving chute 10. These capsules each contain an active component which will be mixed using the device with one or more components of base contained in pots 1 1 installed in the device by the user, for example by screwing quarter turn, after opening the cover.
Les capsules de composants actifs, et éventuellement les pots de composants de base, sont identifiés par des codes couleur détectés par des détecteurs optiques 12 (figure 18) reliés à un microprocesseur 13. Le microprocesseur 13 commande l'ensemble 14 des moteurs du dispositif, ainsi que la pompe à eau et l'écran d'affichage 3.  The capsules of active components, and possibly the pots of basic components, are identified by color codes detected by optical detectors 12 (FIG. 18) connected to a microprocessor 13. The microprocessor 13 controls the assembly 14 of the motors of the device, as well as the water pump and the display screen 3.
On se référera maintenant plus particulièrement aux figures 2 et 3.  Reference will now be made more particularly to FIGS. 2 and 3.
On voit tout d'abord à la figure 2 les trois moteurs 20, 21 et 22.  We first see in Figure 2 the three motors 20, 21 and 22.
On voit également aux figures 2 et 3 deux modules 24 de refroidissement à effet Peltier et de ventilation, destinés à la réfrigération de chacun des pots de composants de base 1 1 . De tels éléments sont connus en eux- mêmes, ainsi que leur commande et leur mode de fonctionnement. Ils ne seront donc pas décrits plus en détail. Comme montré à la figure 1 8, ils sont commandés par le microprocesseur 1 3. FIGS. 2 and 3 also show two Peltier cooling and ventilation modules 24 for cooling each of the basic component pots 11. Such elements are known in themselves, as well as their control and their mode of operation. They do not will not be described in more detail. As shown in Figure 1 8, they are controlled by the microprocessor 1 3.
On voit enfin sur ces figures le support 25 des pots de composants de base 1 1 , qui sera décrit ci-après.  Finally, we can see in these figures the support 25 of the pots of basic components 1 1, which will be described below.
La figure 4 montre l'organe 25 de support de base et ses moyens d'entraînement. Figure 4 shows the base support member 25 and its drive means.
L'arbre 30 de sortie du moteur 21 est muni d'une denture qui engrène avec une roue dentée 3 1 solidaire en rotation, autour d'un arbre 32, du support 25 des pots de composants de base. Ainsi, le moteur 21 entraîne en rotation le support 25 des pots de composants de base, autour de l'axe de l'arbre 32.  The output shaft 21 of the motor 21 is provided with a toothing which meshes with a toothed wheel 3 1 rotatably mounted around a shaft 32 of the support 25 of the pots of basic components. Thus, the motor 21 rotates the support 25 of the pots of basic components around the axis of the shaft 32.
L'arbre 35 de sortie du moteur 20 porte une poulie 36 susceptible d'entraîner une autre poulie 37 montée sur l'arbre 32, par l'intermédiaire d'une courroie non représentée. L'arbre 32 est constitué d'une vis sans fin coopérant avec une douille filetée 38 solidaire du support 25 des pots de composants de base. Ainsi, le moteur 20 permet d'entraîner le support 25 des pots de composants de base dans un mouvement de translation parallèlement à l'axe de l'arbre 32. Dans ce mouvement, le support 25 des pots de composants de base est guidé par des tiges 39.  The output shaft of the motor 20 carries a pulley 36 capable of driving another pulley 37 mounted on the shaft 32, by means of a not shown belt. The shaft 32 consists of a worm cooperating with a threaded bush 38 secured to the support 25 of the pots of basic components. Thus, the motor 20 makes it possible to drive the support 25 of the base component pots in a translation movement parallel to the axis of the shaft 32. In this movement, the support 25 of the basic component pots is guided by stems 39.
On se référera maintenant à la figure 5 pour ce qui concerne le moteur 22 et sa fonction. Referring now to Figure 5 with respect to the motor 22 and its function.
L'arbre 40 de sortie du moteur 22 porte un pignon 41 qui engrène avec une roue dentée 44.  The output shaft 40 of the motor 22 carries a pinion 41 which meshes with a toothed wheel 44.
La roue dentée 44 porte à rotation autour d'un axe 45 , diamétralement opposés, deux supports 46 de bielles 47.  The toothed wheel 44 rotates about an axis 45, diametrically opposed, two supports 46 of connecting rods 47.
Chaque bielle 47 porte à son extrémité un piston 50 engagé dans un cylindre respectif 52, 53 formé dans un bloc de mélange 5 1 . Ainsi, le moteur 22 entraîne en rotation la roue dentée 44, et par son intermédiaire les pistons 50 dans des mouvements alternatifs opposés dans les cylindres 52, 53 du bloc de mélange 5 1 .  Each connecting rod 47 carries at its end a piston 50 engaged in a respective cylinder 52, 53 formed in a mixing block 5 1. Thus, the motor 22 rotates the toothed wheel 44, and through it the pistons 50 in opposite reciprocating movements in the cylinders 52, 53 of the mixing block 5 1.
On voit à la figure 6 que le bloc de mélange 5 1 comporte deux conduits cylindriques 54 et 55 dans lesquels sont logés respectivement une vanne principale 56 munie de trois perçages et une vanne auxiliaire 57 munie d'un perçage. La vanne principale 56 est entraînée en rotation par un pignon 58 engrenant avec une roue dentée 59 montée sur l'arbre de sortie d'un moteur 60. La vanne auxiliaire 57 est entraînée en rotation par un système de biellettes 61 actionnées par un moteur 62. It can be seen in FIG. 6 that the mixing block 5 1 comprises two cylindrical ducts 54 and 55 in which are respectively housed a main valve 56 provided with three bores and an auxiliary valve 57 provided with a bore. The main valve 56 is rotated by a pinion 58 meshing with a toothed wheel 59 mounted on the output shaft of a motor 60. The auxiliary valve 57 is rotated by a system of links 61 actuated by a motor 62 .
Comme montré à la figure 9, le support 25 des pots 1 1 de composants de base forme, pour chaque emplacement de pot de composant de base, un embout 80 susceptible de s'adapter de façon étanche à un orifice 8 1 formé dans la paroi du cylindre 52 du bloc de mélange 5 1 . L'orifice 81 permet l'écoulement du contenu du pot de composant de base dans le cylindre 52. As shown in FIG. 9, the support 25 of the pots 1 1 of basic components forms, for each base component pot location, a tip 80 able to fit tightly to an orifice 8 1 formed in the wall of the cylinder 52 of the mixing block 5 1. The orifice 81 allows the contents of the basic component pot to flow into the cylinder 52.
On voit à la figure 6 une aiguille creuse 90 portée par une seringue. Le canal de l'aiguille creuse 90 correspond avec un conduit 91 (figure 7) formé dans la paroi du bloc de mélange 5 1 . Le conduit 91 débouche dans le cylindre 53 par un perçage de la vanne principale 56 lorsque cette dernière est placée dans la position angulaire convenable.  We see in Figure 6 a hollow needle 90 carried by a syringe. The hollow needle channel 90 corresponds with a duct 91 (FIG. 7) formed in the wall of the mixing block 5 1. The conduit 91 opens into the cylinder 53 by a bore of the main valve 56 when the latter is placed in the appropriate angular position.
Dans une autre position angulaire de la vanne principale 56, un canal de lavage 92 est mis en communication avec le bloc de mélange. Dans une troisième position de la vanne principale 56, le produit cosmétique peut être fourni à un utilisateur par l'intermédiaire d'une buse de fourniture du produit cosmétique, et dans une dernière position la vanne principale 56 bouche les différents orifices.  In another angular position of the main valve 56, a washing channel 92 is placed in communication with the mixing block. In a third position of the main valve 56, the cosmetic product can be supplied to a user via a nozzle for supplying the cosmetic product, and in a last position the main valve 56 closes the various orifices.
Si l'on se réfère maintenant aux figures 1 0a, 1 0b et 10c, on voit que la goulotte de réception 10 est montée pivotante sur un axe 100. Elle comporte par ailleurs une butée 101 susceptible de la faire pivoter autour de son axe lorsque cette butée est poussée par une saillie 1 02 du support 25 des pots de composants de base. Dans ce mouvement, la capsule 1 03 de composant actif située au bas de la goulotte de réception 1 0 est perforée par l'aiguille creuse 90, de sorte que le composant actif qu'elle contient peut être aspiré au travers de cette aiguille.  Referring now to FIGS. 10a, 10b and 10c, it can be seen that the receiving chute 10 is pivotally mounted on an axis 100. It also has a stop 101 capable of rotating it about its axis when this stop is pushed by a projection January 02 of the support 25 pots of basic components. In this movement, the capsule 1 03 of active component located at the bottom of the receiving chute 1 0 is perforated by the hollow needle 90, so that the active component it contains can be sucked through the needle.
Ces mêmes figures montrent l'éjecteur 104 de capsules vides monté sur un pivot 105. Cet éj ecteur est constitué essentiellement d'une tige portant à une de ses extrémités un doigt d'éjection 106, et à son autre extrémité une butée d'actionnement 107, susceptible de le faire pivoter lorsque cette butée d'actionnement est poussée par la saillie 102 du support 25 des pots de composants de base. On décrira maintenant le séquencement de fonctionnement du dispositif, plus particulièrement en référence aux figures 10a à 1 6. Ce séquencement est assuré par le microprocesseur 13. These same figures show the ejector 104 of empty capsules mounted on a pivot 105. This ejector consists essentially of a rod carrying at one of its ends an ejection finger 106, and at its other end an actuating stop 107, capable of rotating it when this actuating stop is pushed by the projection 102 of the support 25 pots of basic components. The sequencing of the operation of the device will now be described, more particularly with reference to FIGS. 10a to 16. This sequencing is ensured by the microprocessor 13.
• La première phase du processus consiste à introduire une ou plusieurs doses de composant actif dans le cylindre 53 du bloc de mélange 5 1 .  The first phase of the process consists in introducing one or more doses of active component into the cylinder 53 of the mixing block 5 1.
- Dans une première étape, l 'orifice de la vanne principale 56 prévu pour l ' aspiration de l' actif est mis en place devant l' orifice de l' aiguille à l'aide du moteur 60 (figure 1 1 ).  In a first step, the opening of the main valve 56 intended for the suction of the asset is put in place in front of the orifice of the needle by means of the motor 60 (FIG. 11).
- La deuxième étape consiste à mettre la vanne auxiliaire 57 en position bouchon à l'aide du moteur 62, de manière à fermer les orifices 1 10 (figure 8) .  - The second step is to put the auxiliary valve 57 in the cap position with the motor 62, so as to close the orifices 1 10 (Figure 8).
Le piston 50 du cylindre 53 est ensuite amené par le moteur 22 en fond de course, comme montré à la figure 12. The piston 50 of the cylinder 53 is then brought by the engine 22 in the bottom of course, as shown in FIG.
- Dans la troisième étape (figures 10a et 1 0b), le support 25 des pots de composants de base est manœuvré par les moteurs 20 et 2 1 de façon que la saillie 102 fasse pivoter la goulotte de réception 1 0. L'aiguille 90 perfore ainsi la capsule 1 03.  In the third step (FIGS. 10a and 10b), the support 25 of the basic component pots is operated by the motors 20 and 2 1 so that the projection 102 rotates the receiving chute 1 0. The needle 90 thus perforates the capsule 1 03.
Le moteur 22 est alors activé pour que le piston 50 du cylindre 52 aspire le contenu de la capsule 1 03 dans le cylindre 52.  The motor 22 is then activated so that the piston 50 of the cylinder 52 draws the contents of the capsule 1 03 into the cylinder 52.
- La quatrième étape consiste à éj ecter la capsule vide 103 dans le réceptacle à déchets 8.  The fourth step consists of ejecting the empty capsule 103 into the waste receptacle 8.
Ceci est effectué par le moteur 21 qui déplace le support 25 des pots de composants de base de manière que la saillie 1 02 contacte la butée d'actionnement 107.  This is done by the motor 21 which moves the support 25 of the pots of basic components so that the projection 1 02 contacts the actuating stopper 107.
- Les troisièmes et quatrièmes étapes sont répétées autant de fois qu'il y a de capsules 1 03 dans la goulotte de réception - The third and fourth steps are repeated as many times as there are capsules 1 03 in the receiving chute
1 0. 1 0.
• La deuxième phase du processus consiste à doser le ou les composants de base (figure 1 3) .  • The second phase of the process involves dosing the basic component (s) (Figure 1 3).
- A cet effet, la vanne principale 56 est mise sur la position obturation à l' aide du moteur 60 et la vanne auxiliaire 57 est mise en position fermée à l ' aide du moteur 62. - A l ' aide du moteur 21 , le support base présente l ' embout 80 du pot devant l ' orifice 8 1 de distribution de base, et à l ' aide du moteur 20 et de la vis sans fin 32, des impulsions sont réalisées sur le pot pour doser la base. - For this purpose, the main valve 56 is put on the closed position by means of the motor 60 and the auxiliary valve 57 is put in closed position by means of the motor 62. - With the aid of the motor 21, the base support has the tip 80 of the pot in front of the base dispensing orifice 8 1, and with the aid of the motor 20 and the worm 32, pulses are produced. on the pot to dose the base.
Le moteur 22 est alors actionné pour délivrer dans le cylindre 52 la quantité de composant de base choisie.  The motor 22 is then actuated to deliver in the cylinder 52 the amount of base component chosen.
• La troisième phase du processus consiste à mélanger les composants de base et les composants actifs.  • The third phase of the process involves mixing the basic components and the active components.
A cet effet, vanne auxiliaire 57 est mise en position ouverte à l'aide du moteur 62.  For this purpose, the auxiliary valve 57 is put in the open position by means of the motor 62.
le moteur 22 est ensuite actionné de façon à faire passer alternativement, par le mouvement opposé des pistons 50, le mélange de composants des cylindres 52 à 53 par le conduit 55 (reliant les deux orifices 1 1 0), ce qui crée des perturbations réalisant un mélange homogène (figures 14a et 14b) .  the motor 22 is then actuated so as to pass alternately, by the opposite movement of the pistons 50, the mixture of components of the cylinders 52 to 53 through the conduit 55 (connecting the two orifices 1 1 0), which creates disturbances realizing a homogeneous mixture (Figures 14a and 14b).
• La quatrième phase du processus consiste à distribuer le produit fabriqué à l'utilisateur.  • The fourth phase of the process is to distribute the manufactured product to the user.
- La première étape consiste à amener le mélange au cylindre 52 à l'aide du moteur 22 (figure 1 5) .  - The first step is to bring the mixture to the cylinder 52 with the motor 22 (Figure 1 5).
- La vanne secondaire est ensuite fermée (figure 16). - The secondary valve is then closed (Figure 16).
- Le moteur 22 est actionné pour que le piston 50 éj ecte le produit par la buse 93. Cette opération peut être déclenchée par la détection optique des mains de l'utilisateur.The motor 22 is actuated so that the piston 50 ejects the product through the nozzle 93. This operation can be triggered by the optical detection of the hands of the user.
En fin de cycle, un nettoyage du dispositif est effectué par des gicleurs alimentés par la pompe à eau. L'eau de nettoyage est recueillie dans le compartiment à déchets. At the end of the cycle, cleaning of the device is carried out by nozzles fed by the water pump. The cleaning water is collected in the waste compartment.
