Description

L'invention concerne les étuis pour bâtons de matière pâteuse et plus particulièrement les tubes de rouge à lèvres.The invention relates to cases for sticks of pasty material and more particularly to tubes of lipstick.

Un étui pour un bâton de matière pâteuse comprend généralement une base destinée à recevoir le bâton de matière pâteuse et un capuchon. L'étui est apte à occuper une position ouverte, dans laquelle un utilisateur peut déployer le bâton de matière pâteuse et une position fermée dans laquelle le capuchon et la base sont associés de façon à ce que l'étui renferme le bâton de matière pâteuse. Dans cette dernière position, le bâton de matière pâteuse est inaccessible et protégé.A case for a stick of pasty material generally comprises a base intended to receive the stick of pasty material and a cap. The case is adapted to occupy an open position, in which a user can deploy the stick of pasty material and a closed position in which the cap and the base are associated so that the case contains the stick of pasty material. In this last position, the stick of pasty material is inaccessible and protected.

Pour maintenir l'étui en position fermée, il est par exemple possible de fixer respectivement sur la base et le capuchon un premier et un second organes à aimantation permanente. Ainsi, la force d'attraction s'exerçant entre les organes à aimantation permanente est suffisante pour maintenir l'étui en position fermée tout en étant suffisamment modérée pour permettre à l'utilisateur de désolidariser facilement la base et le capuchon pour faire passer l'étui de la position fermée à la position ouverte.To keep the case in the closed position, it is for example possible to fix respectively on the base and the cap a first and a second permanently magnetized members. Thus, the attractive force exerted between the permanently magnetized members is sufficient to keep the case in the closed position while being moderate enough to allow the user to easily detach the base and the cap to pass the case. holster from closed to open position.

Cependant, notamment dans le cas d'un tube de rouge à lèvres, l'étui peut comporter un ou plusieurs motifs ornementaux portés par un ou plusieurs organes spécifiques. Dans ce cas, l'un parmi l'organe et le capuchon porte l'organe et l'autre comprend une ou plusieurs découpes pour loger l'organe lorsque l'étui occupe la position fermée ou encore des formes en section non circulaire au niveau de la jonction entre la base et le capuchon. Le nombre de découpe détermine donc le nombre de positions relatives que la base et le capuchon peuvent occuper lorsque l'étui occupe la position fermée. Ainsi, les organes à aimantation permanente doivent autoriser ce nombre restreint de positions relatives.However, especially in the case of a lipstick tube, the case may include one or more ornamental patterns carried by one or more specific organs. In this case, one of the organ and the cap carries the organ and the other comprises one or more cutouts to house the organ when the case occupies the closed position or else shapes in non-circular section at the level of the junction between the base and the cap. The number of cuts therefore determines the number of relative positions that the base and the cap can occupy when the case occupies the closed position. Thus, members with permanent magnetization must allow this limited number of relative positions.

Le document EP-1 095 870 décrit un dispositif de conditionnement pour un produit notamment pâteux qui comprend une base et un capuchon. La base porte deux moyens magnétiques, tout comme le capuchon. Les moyens magnétiques portés par la base et le capuchon sont tels que la base et le capuchon ne peuvent occuper qu'un nombre restreint de positions lorsque l'étui est en position fermée. Pour ce faire, le capuchon porte un moyen magnétique présentant deux faces respectivement de polarité nord et sud en regard d'un moyen magnétique, porté par le capuchon, présentant deux faces respectivement de polarité nord et sud. Ainsi, lorsque l'utilisateur ferme l'étui, les faces de polarité opposée des moyens magnétiques vont s'attirer et les faces de polarité identique vont se repousser de façon à ne permettre qu'un nombre restreint de positions relatives de la base et du capuchon.The document EP-1 095 870 describes a packaging device for a particularly pasty product which comprises a base and a cap. The base carries two magnetic means, just like the cap. The magnetic means carried by the base and the cap are such that the base and the cap can only occupy a limited number of positions when the case is in the closed position. To do this, the cap carries a magnetic means having two faces respectively of north and south polarity opposite a magnetic means, carried by the cap, having two faces respectively of north and south polarity. Thus, when the user closes the case, the faces of opposite polarity of the magnetic means will attract each other and the faces of identical polarity will repel each other so as to allow only a limited number of relative positions of the base and of the cap.

Cependant, le maintien en position des organes à aimantation permanente oblige à des formes complexes de la base et de capuchon. En effet, il est nécessaire que des moyens magnétiques complémentaires soient relativement proches les uns des autres lorsque l'étui est en position fermée. Ainsi, on prévoit dans la base et le capuchon des corps pour loger les moyens magnétiques qui ont des géométries relativement complexes. Le document GB2514578 divulgue un étui pour un bâton de matière pâteuse avec des moyens à aimantation permanente.However, maintaining the permanently magnetized members in position requires complex shapes of the base and of the cap. In fact, it is necessary for additional magnetic means to be relatively close to each other when the case is in the closed position. Thus, bodies are provided in the base and the cap to house the magnetic means which have relatively complex geometries. The document GB2514578 discloses a case for a stick of pasty material with permanent magnetization means.

Un but de l'invention est de fournir un étui plus simple à fabriquer.An object of the invention is to provide a case that is simpler to manufacture.

Pour ce faire, on prévoit selon l'invention, un étui pour un bâton de matière pâteuse, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend une base destinée à recevoir le bâton de matière pâteuse et un capuchon, la base et le capuchon comprennent chacun un corps interne d'axe longitudinal (X) et un corps externe de même axe longitudinal (X) dont une dimension radiale est plus importante qu'une dimension radiale du premier corps interne, la base et le capuchon portent chacun au moins deux organes à aimantation permanente positionnés entre le corps interne et le corps externe, chaque organe à aimantation permanente est maintenu axialement entre des moyens de butée axiale portés par le corps interne et une bague cylindrique d'axe longitudinal (X) qui comprend un matériau diamagnétique ou ferromagnétique et qui est disposée entre le corps externe et le corps interne, chaque organe à aimantation permanente porté par la base est positionné de sorte qu'il présente une face, de polarité opposée à une face de l'organe à aimantation permanente consécutif porté par la base, et de polarité opposée à une face située en vis-à-vis des deux organes à aimantation permanente portés par le capuchon lorsque l'étui occupe une position fermée, le corps interne d'au moins l'un parmi la base et le capuchon comporte au moins une nervure de maintien en position radiale des organes à aimantation permanente.To do this, according to the invention, a case is provided for a stick of pasty material, characterized in that it comprises a base intended to receive the stick of pasty material and a cap, the base and the cap each comprise a body internal with a longitudinal axis (X) and an external body with the same longitudinal axis (X), a radial dimension of which is greater than a radial dimension of the first internal body, the base and the cap each carry at least two members with permanent magnetization positioned between the internal body and the external body, each member with permanent magnetization is held axially between axial stop means carried by the internal body and a cylindrical ring of longitudinal axis (X) which comprises a diamagnetic or ferromagnetic material and which is arranged between the outer body and the inner body, each organ permanent magnetization carried by the base is positioned so that it has a face, of opposite polarity to one face of the consecutive permanent magnetization member carried by the base, and of opposite polarity to a face located opposite of the two permanent magnet elements carried by the cap when the case occupies a closed position, the internal body of at least one of the base and the cap comprises at least one rib for maintaining the members with permanent magnetization in the radial position.

La nervure de maintien en position radiale et la bague de maintien en position axiale sont peu encombrantes. Ainsi, on assure un maintien en position fiable des organes à aimantation permanente avec des moyens qui sont peu encombrants. En outre, comme la bague n'est destinée qu'à former une butée axiale empêchant le mouvement des organes à aimantation permanente dans un sens, elle peut avoir une géométrie simple. On utilise des moyens distincts pour assurer un maintien en position des organes à aimantation permanente axialement dans les deux sens et radialement. Ces moyens peuvent donc avoir des géométries relativement simples. L'étui est donc plus facile à fabriquer.The radial position retaining rib and the axial position retaining ring take up little space. Thus, the permanent magnetization members are kept in reliable position with means which are compact. In addition, as the ring is only intended to form an axial stop preventing the movement of the members with permanent magnetization in one direction, it can have a simple geometry. Separate means are used to ensure that the members with permanent magnetization are held in position axially in both directions and radially. These means can therefore have relatively simple geometries. The case is therefore easier to manufacture.

De préférence, les moyens de butée axiale comprennent une collerette.Preferably, the axial stop means comprise a collar.

La collerette est peu encombrante.The collar takes up little space.

Avantageusement, la collerette occupe une position d'extrémité axiale du corps interne.Advantageously, the collar occupies an axial end position of the internal body.

Ainsi, lorsque l'étui occupe la position fermée, les organes à aimantation permanente portés par la base et le capuchon sont relativement proches. Il est donc possible d'utiliser des organes à aimantation permanente qui génèrent un champ magnétique de faible intensité. L'étui est donc moins couteux à fabriquer.Thus, when the case occupies the closed position, the members with permanent magnetization carried by the base and the cap are relatively close. It is therefore possible to use permanent magnet elements which generate a low intensity magnetic field. The case is therefore less expensive to manufacture.

Selon un mode de réalisation, la nervure s'étend axialement depuis la collerette.According to one embodiment, the rib extends axially from the collar.

Cet agencement est peu encombrant.This arrangement is compact.

Avantageusement, la bague cylindrique d'au moins l'un parmi la base et le capuchon est sertie sur le corps interne. Selon un mode de réalisation, les bagues cylindriques de la base et du capuchon sont serties sur les corps internes respectifs.Advantageously, the cylindrical ring of at least one of the base and the cap is crimped onto the internal body. According to one embodiment, the cylindrical rings of the base and of the cap are crimped onto the respective internal bodies.

De préférence, la bague cylindrique d'au moins l'un parmi la base et le capuchon est collée au corps interne. Selon un mode de réalisation, les bagues cylindriques de la base et du capuchon sont collées sur les corps internes respectifs.Preferably, the cylindrical ring of at least one of the base and the cap is glued to the inner body. According to one embodiment, the cylindrical rings of the base and of the cap are glued to the respective internal bodies.

Un tel agencement est simple et maintient fermement la bague autour du corps interne.Such an arrangement is simple and firmly holds the ring around the inner body.

Selon un mode de réalisation, au moins l'un parmi la base et le capuchon a une forme générale cylindrique. Avantageusement, la base et le capuchon ont une forme générale cylindrique.According to one embodiment, at least one of the base and the cap has a generally cylindrical shape. Advantageously, the base and the cap have a generally cylindrical shape.

L'étui a donc une forme générale cylindrique.The case therefore has a generally cylindrical shape.

Avantageusement, le corps externe d'au moins l'un parmi la base et le capuchon a une dimension axiale plus importante qu'une dimension axiale du corps interne. De préférence, les corps externes de la base et du capuchon ont une dimension axiale plus importante qu'une dimension axiale des corps internes respectifs.Advantageously, the outer body of at least one of the base and the cap has a larger axial dimension than an axial dimension of the inner body. Preferably, the outer bodies of the base and the cap have a larger axial dimension than an axial dimension of the respective inner bodies.

Le corps externe vient donc protéger le corps interne.The external body therefore comes to protect the internal body.

De préférence, le corps externe d'au moins l'un parmi la base et le capuchon est collé au corps interne. Avantageusement, les corps externes de la base et du capuchon sont collés aux corps internes respectifs.Preferably, the outer body of at least one of the base and the cap is adhered to the inner body. Advantageously, the external bodies of the base and of the cap are glued to the respective internal bodies.

Le corps externe est donc fermement fixé au corps interne.The outer body is therefore firmly attached to the inner body.

De préférence, les deux organes à aimantation permanente portés par au moins l'un parmi la base et le capuchon occupent des positions diamétralement opposées l'un par rapport à l'autre.Preferably, the two permanently magnetized members carried by at least one of the base and the cap occupy positions that are diametrically opposed to one another.

On maximise ainsi la force magnétique qui maintient l'étui dans la position fermée.This maximizes the magnetic force which maintains the case in the closed position.

Selon un mode de réalisation, la base et le capuchon comprennent chacun quatre organes à aimantation permanente, disposés de préférence de façon régulière circonférentiellement.According to one embodiment, the base and the cap each comprise four permanently magnetized members, preferably arranged in a regular circumferential manner.

Les organes à aimantation permanente n'ont donc pas besoin de générer un champ magnétique puissant pour assurer le maintien de l'étui en position fermée. En outre, cet agencement autorise deux positions relatives, diamétralement opposées, du capuchon et de la base. Ainsi, si par exemple la base porte un organe spécifique qui porte un motif ornemental, on ne doit prévoir que deux découpes, diamétralement opposée, dans le capuchon pour loger l'organe portant le motif ornemental. Cette configuration définit ainsi deux positions alternatives de fermeture de l'étui.The members with permanent magnetization therefore do not need to generate a powerful magnetic field in order to maintain the case in the closed position. In addition, this arrangement allows two relative positions, diametrically opposed, of the cap and the base. Thus, if for example the base carries a specific organ which carries an ornamental motif, only two cutouts, diametrically opposed, must be provided in the cap to house the organ bearing the ornamental motif. This configuration thus defines two alternative positions for closing the case.

Avantageusement, les organes à aimantation permanente sont des aimants.Advantageously, the permanent magnetization members are magnets.

Il s'agit d'une forme simple d'organe à aimantation permanente.It is a simple form of a permanently magnetized organ.

De préférence, le matériau diamagnétique ou ferromagnétique comprend du fer.Preferably, the diamagnetic or ferromagnetic material comprises iron.

Un tel matériau est abondant et peu couteux.Such a material is abundant and inexpensive.

L'étui est donc plus solide car le ou les manchons externes protègent le corps interne, le corps externe, les organes à aimantation permanente et la bague cylindrique.The case is therefore more solid because the outer sleeve or sleeves protect the inner body, the outer body, the permanently magnetized members and the cylindrical ring.

Avantageusement, le bâton de matière pâteuse est un raisin de rouge à lèvres.Advantageously, the stick of pasty material is a grape of lipstick.

On va maintenant décrire, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, un mode de réalisation de l'invention à l'aide des figures suivantes :

  • les figures 1A et 1B sont des vues de face d'un étui selon l'invention respectivement en position ouverte et en position fermée,
  • la figure 2, 3A et 3B sont des vues en perspective d'une partie d'une base et d'un capuchon de l'étui désassemblés,
  • la figure 4 est une vue en perspective d'une partie de la base et du capuchon assemblés,
  • la figure 5 est une représentation schématique de la base et du capuchon.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of nonlimiting example, with the aid of the following figures:
  • the figures 1A and 1B are front views of a case according to the invention respectively in the open position and in the closed position,
  • the figure 2, 3A and 3B are perspective views of part of a disassembled base and cover of the case,
  • the figure 4 is a perspective view of part of the assembled base and cap,
  • the figure 5 is a schematic representation of the base and the cap.

On a représenté aux figures 1A et 1B un étui 10 de rouge à lèvres selon l'invention. L'étui 10 est représenté en position ouverte à la figure 1A et en position fermée à la figure 1B.We represented at figures 1A and 1B a lipstick case 10 according to the invention. The case 10 is shown in the open position at the figure 1A and in the closed position at the figure 1B .

L'étui de rouge à lèvres 10 comprend une base 12 et un capuchon 14. L'étui 10 a une forme générale cylindrique et présente un axe longitudinal (X). Il s'étend entre une extrémité distale D et une extrémité proximale P. L'extrémité distale D de l'étui 10 est celle qui est la plus éloignée des lèvres de l'utilisateur lorsqu'il applique le raisin sur ses lèvres. Dans la suite de la description, il sera également fait référence à des extrémités proximale P et distale D lorsque des éléments de l'étui 10 seront décrits. Lorsqu'il occupe la position fermée, l'étui 10 renferme un bâton de matière pâteuse 16 qui se présente ici sous la forme d'un raisin de rouge à lèvres.The lipstick case 10 comprises a base 12 and a cap 14. The case 10 has a generally cylindrical shape and has a longitudinal axis (X). It extends between a distal end D and a proximal end P. The distal end D of the case 10 is that which is furthest from the lips of the user when he applies the grape to his lips. In the remainder of the description, reference will also be made to proximal P and distal D ends when elements of the case 10 will be described. When it occupies the closed position, the case 10 contains a stick of pasty material 16 which is here in the form of a grape of lipstick.

La base 12 a une forme générale cylindrique et présente également un axe longitudinal (X). Elle comprend une ouverture circulaire transversale située à une extrémité proximale, pour permettre au bâton de matière pâteuse 16 d'être déployé, et un fond transversal à une extrémité distale. La base 12 est destinée à recevoir le bâton de matière pâteuse 16. A cet effet, elle est creuse et forme un logement pour le bâton de matière pâteuse 16. Sur un pourtour périphérique circonférentiel externe radialement de son extrémité proximale P, la base 12 comprend un organe 18 qui porte un motif ornemental. Ici, le motif ornemental se présente sous la forme d'une surface en relief s'étendant radialement vers l'extérieur. Selon une variante, le motif ornemental n'est pas en relief et se présente sous la forme d'un motif scriptural.The base 12 has a generally cylindrical shape and also has a longitudinal axis (X). It includes a transverse circular opening located at a proximal end, to allow the stick of pasty material 16 to be deployed, and a transverse bottom at a distal end. The base 12 is intended to receive the stick of pasty material 16. For this purpose, it is hollow and forms a housing for the stick of pasty material 16. On an outer circumferential peripheral periphery radially of its proximal end P, the base 12 comprises a member 18 which carries an ornamental motif. Here, the ornamental pattern is in the form of a raised surface extending radially outward. According to a variant, the ornamental motif is not in relief and is in the form of a scriptural motif.

Le capuchon 14 a une forme générale cylindrique et présente également un axe longitudinal (X). Comme on le voit sur la figure 1B, lorsque l'étui 10 occupe la position fermée, le capuchon 14 comprend une ouverture circulaire transversale située à une extrémité distale D et un fond transversal à une extrémité proximale P. Ainsi, le capuchon 14 forme un logement protecteur pour le bâton de matière pâteuse 16 lorsque l'étui 10 occupe la position fermée.The cap 14 has a generally cylindrical shape and also has a longitudinal axis (X). As seen on the figure 1B , when the case 10 occupies the closed position, the cap 14 comprises a transverse circular opening located at a distal end D and a transverse bottom at a proximal end P. Thus, the cap 14 forms a protective housing for the stick of pasty material 16 when the case 10 occupies the closed position.

En outre, l'étui 10 comprend un organe de préhension 17, creux et cylindrique, d'axe longitudinal (X). L'organe de préhension 17 est fixé à la base 12. Par rotation autour de l'axe longitudinal (X) de la base 12 par rapport à l'organe de préhension 17, l'utilisateur peut déployer le bâton de matière pâteuse 16 le long de l'axe longitudinal (X) par l'intermédiaire d'un mécanisme de déploiement. Le bâton de matière pâteuse 16 est déployé depuis l'organe de préhension 17 lorsque l'utilisateur déploie le bâton de matière pâteuse 16 comme on le voit sur la figure 1A et est rétracté de façon à être totalement entouré radialement par l'organe de préhension 17 lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite fermer l'étui 10.In addition, the case 10 comprises a gripping member 17, hollow and cylindrical, with a longitudinal axis (X). The gripping member 17 is fixed to the base 12. By rotation about the longitudinal axis (X) of the base 12 with respect to the gripping member 17, the user can deploy the stick of pasty material 16 on it. along the longitudinal axis (X) by means of a deployment mechanism. The stick of pasty material 16 is deployed from the gripping member 17 when the user deploys the stick of pasty material 16 as seen on the figure. figure 1A and is retracted so as to be completely surrounded radially by the gripping member 17 when the user wishes to close the case 10.

On va maintenant décrire plus en détail la base 12, notamment à l'aide des figures 2 et 3B.The base 12 will now be described in more detail, in particular using the figures 2 and 3B .

La base 12 comprend un corps interne 22 et un corps externe 24. Le corps interne 22 et le corps externe 24 ont une forme générale cylindrique et présentent un axe longitudinal (X) confondu avec celui de l'étui 10 lorsqu'il est assemblé, comme on peut notamment le voir sur la figure 1A. Le corps interne 22 et le corps externe 24 présentent tous deux, à une extrémité proximale P, lorsque l'étui 10 est assemblé, une ouverture circulaire et, à une extrémité distale D, un fond transversal. Radialement, le diamètre du corps externe 24 est plus important que celui du corps interne 22. Ainsi, une dimension radiale du corps externe 24 est plus importante qu'une dimension radiale du corps interne 22. En outre, comme on le voit sur la figure 2, le corps externe 24 a une longueur, par rapport à l'axe longitudinal (X), plus importante qu'une longueur que celui du corps interne 22. Ainsi, le corps externe 24 de la base 12 a une dimension axiale plus importante qu'une dimension axiale du corps interne 22.The base 12 comprises an internal body 22 and an external body 24. The internal body 22 and the external body 24 have a generally cylindrical shape and have a longitudinal axis (X) coincident with that of the case 10 when it is assembled, as can be seen in particular on the figure 1A . The internal body 22 and the external body 24 both have, at a proximal end P, when the case 10 is assembled, a circular opening and, at a distal end D, a transverse bottom. Radially, the diameter of the outer body 24 is larger than that of the inner body 22. Thus, a radial dimension of the outer body 24 is larger than a radial dimension of the inner body 22. Further, as seen in the figure. figure 2 , the outer body 24 has a length, relative to the longitudinal axis (X), greater than a length than that of the inner body 22. Thus, the outer body 24 of the base 12 has an axial dimension greater than 'an axial dimension of the internal body 22.

Le corps interne 22 de la base 12 porte l'organe 18 qui porte lui-même le motif ornemental. L'organe 18 est porté par le pourtour circonférentiel du corps interne 22 dont les contours définissent l'ouverture située à l'extrémité proximale P.The internal body 22 of the base 12 carries the member 18 which itself carries the ornamental motif. The member 18 is carried by the circumferential periphery of the internal body 22, the contours of which define the opening located at the proximal end P.

Sur le contour circonférentiel qui délimite l'ouverture située à l'extrémité proximale P, le corps interne 22 comprend une collerette 28 s'étendant radialement vers l'extérieur. La collerette 28 occupe donc une position d'extrémité axiale du corps interne 22. La collerette 28 comprend en outre quatre nervures 30, qui s'étendent axialement vers l'extrémité distale D du corps interne 22. Chaque nervure 30 a une forme en « V » lorsqu'elle est vue axialement depuis l'extrémité distale D du corps interne 22.On the circumferential contour which delimits the opening situated at the proximal end P, the internal body 22 comprises a flange 28 extending radially outwards. The flange 28 therefore occupies an axial end position of the internal body 22. The flange 28 further comprises four ribs 30, which extend axially towards the distal end D of the internal body 22. Each rib 30 has a shape of " V ”when viewed axially from the distal end D of the inner body 22.

Le diamètre de la collerette 28 est tel que, lorsque la base 12 est assemblée, la surface externe radiale de la collerette 28 est en contact avec une surface radiale interne du corps externe 24. Ainsi, le corps interne 22 est fixé au corps externe 24 par collage. Pour ce faire, le pourtour circonférentiel du corps interne 22, dont les contours définissent l'ouverture proximale P, comprend un cordon de colle sur la surface externe radiale.The diameter of the flange 28 is such that, when the base 12 is assembled, the radial outer surface of the flange 28 is in contact with an inner radial surface of the outer body 24. Thus, the inner body 22 is fixed to the outer body 24. by gluing. To do this, the circumferential periphery of the internal body 22, the contours of which define the proximal opening P, comprises a bead of adhesive on the radial external surface.

La base 12 comporte également une bague cylindrique 32 creuse, comprenant une ouverture circulaire à ses extrémités proximale P et distale D. La bague cylindrique 32 comprend un axe longitudinal (X) et est fixée autour du corps interne 22. La bague cylindrique 32 est disposée sur une paroi externe radialement du corps interne 22 de sorte que la bague cylindrique 32 est disposée entre une paroi interne radialement du corps externe 24 et le corps interne 22.The base 12 also comprises a hollow cylindrical ring 32, comprising a circular opening at its proximal P and distal D ends. The cylindrical ring 32 comprises a longitudinal axis (X) and is fixed around the internal body 22. The cylindrical ring 32 is arranged. on a radially outer wall of the inner body 22 so that the cylindrical ring 32 is disposed between a radially inner wall of the outer body 24 and the inner body 22.

Les quatre nervures 30 forment une butée axiale pour la bague cylindrique 32. En outre, la bague cylindrique 32 est sertie autour du et sur le corps interne 22. En variante, la bague cylindrique 32 est collée sur le corps interne 22. La bague cylindrique 32 comprend essentiellement du fer diamagnétique. Selon des variantes, la bague cylindrique 32 comprend du fer ferromagnétique ou plus généralement un matériau diamagnétique ou ferromagnétique. Par ailleurs, on notera que la bague cylindrique 32 présente des extrémités proximale P et distale D régulières circonférentiellement.The four ribs 30 form an axial stop for the cylindrical ring 32. In addition, the cylindrical ring 32 is crimped around and on the inner body 22. Alternatively, the cylindrical ring 32 is glued to the inner body 22. The cylindrical ring 32 essentially comprises diamagnetic iron. According to variants, the cylindrical ring 32 comprises ferromagnetic iron or more generally a diamagnetic or ferromagnetic material. Furthermore, it will be noted that the cylindrical ring 32 has proximal P and distal D ends circumferentially regular.

On va maintenant décrire plus en détail, à l'aide des figures 2 et 3A le capuchon 14. Le capuchon 14 présente des organes et un agencement relativement semblables à ceux de la base 12.We will now describe in more detail, using the figures 2 and 3A the cap 14. The cap 14 has members and an arrangement relatively similar to those of the base 12.

Le capuchon 14 comprend un corps interne 34 et un corps externe 36. Le corps interne 34 et le corps externe 36 ont une forme générale cylindrique et présentent un axe longitudinal (X) confondu avec celui de l'étui 10 lorsqu'il est assemblé. Le corps interne 34 et le corps externe 36 présentent tous deux, à une extrémité distale D, lorsque l'étui 10 est assemblé, une ouverture circulaire et, à une extrémité distale P, un fond transversal. Radialement, le diamètre du corps externe 36 est plus important que celui du corps interne 34. Ainsi, une dimension radiale du corps externe 36 est plus importante qu'une dimension radiale du corps interne 34. En outre, comme on le voit sur la figure 2, le corps externe 36 a une longueur, par rapport à l'axe longitudinal (X), plus importante qu'une longueur que celui du corps interne 34. Ainsi, le corps externe 36 du capuchon 14 a une dimension axiale plus importante qu'une dimension axiale du corps interne 34.The cap 14 comprises an inner body 34 and an outer body 36. The inner body 34 and the outer body 36 have a generally cylindrical shape and have a longitudinal axis (X) coincident with that of the case 10 when it is assembled. The inner body 34 and the outer body 36 both have, at a distal end D, when the case 10 is assembled, a circular opening and, at a distal end P, a transverse bottom. Radially, the diameter of the outer body 36 is larger than that of the inner body 34. Thus, a radial dimension of the outer body 36 is larger than a radial dimension of the inner body 34. Further, as seen in the figure figure 2 , the outer body 36 has a length, relative to the longitudinal axis (X), greater than a length than that of the inner body 34. Thus, the outer body 36 of the cap 14 has an axial dimension greater than that of the inner body 34. an axial dimension of the internal body 34.

Sur le contour circonférentiel qui délimite l'ouverture située à l'extrémité distale D, le corps interne 34 comprend une collerette 38 s'étendant radialement vers l'extérieur. La collerette 38 occupe donc une position d'extrémité axiale du corps interne 34. La collerette 38 comprend en outre quatre nervures 40, qui s'étendent axialement vers l'extrémité distale P du corps interne 34. Chaque nervure 40 a une forme en « V » lorsqu'elle est vue axialement depuis l'extrémité proximale P du corps interne 34.On the circumferential contour which delimits the opening situated at the distal end D, the internal body 34 comprises a flange 38 extending radially outwards. The flange 38 therefore occupies an axial end position of the internal body 34. The flange 38 further comprises four ribs 40, which extend axially towards the distal end P of the internal body 34. Each rib 40 has a shape of " V ”when viewed axially from the proximal end P of the internal body 34.

Le diamètre de la collerette 38 est tel que, lorsque le capuchon 14 est assemblé, la surface externe radiale de la collerette 38 est en contact avec une surface radiale interne du corps externe 36. Ainsi, le corps interne 34 est fixé au corps externe 36 par collage. Pour ce faire, le pourtour circonférentiel du corps interne 34, dont les contours définissent l'ouverture distale D, comprend un cordon de colle sur la surface externe radiale.The diameter of the flange 38 is such that, when the cap 14 is assembled, the radial outer surface of the flange 38 is in contact with an inner radial surface of the outer body 36. Thus, the inner body 34 is secured to the outer body 36. by gluing. To do this, the circumferential periphery of the internal body 34, the contours of which define the distal opening D, comprises a bead of adhesive on the radial external surface.

Le capuchon 14 comprend également une bague cylindrique 42 creuse, comprenant une ouverture circulaire à ses extrémités proximale P et distale D. La bague cylindrique 42 comprend un axe longitudinal (X) et est fixée autour du corps interne 34. Les quatre nervures 40 forment une butée axiale pour la bague cylindrique 42.The cap 14 also comprises a hollow cylindrical ring 42, comprising a circular opening at its proximal P and distal D ends. The cylindrical ring 42 comprises a longitudinal axis (X) and is fixed around the internal body 34. The four ribs 40 form a axial stop for the cylindrical ring 42.

En outre, la bague cylindrique 42 est sertie autour sur le corps interne 34. En variante, la bague cylindrique 42 est collée sur le corps interne 34. La bague cylindrique 42 comprend essentiellement du fer diamagnétique. Selon des variantes, la bague cylindrique 42 comprend du fer ferromagnétique ou plus généralement un matériau diamagnétique ou ferromagnétique. Par ailleurs, on notera que la bague cylindrique 42 présente des extrémités proximale P et distale D régulières circonférentiellement. La bague cylindrique 42 est disposée sur une paroi externe radialement du corps interne 34 de sorte que la bague cylindrique 42 est disposée entre une paroi interne radialement du corps externe 36 et le corps interne 34.Further, the cylindrical ring 42 is crimped around on the internal body 34. Alternatively, the cylindrical ring 42 is glued to the internal body 34. The cylindrical ring 42 essentially comprises diamagnetic iron. According to variants, the cylindrical ring 42 comprises ferromagnetic iron or more generally a diamagnetic or ferromagnetic material. Furthermore, it will be noted that the cylindrical ring 42 has proximal P and distal D ends circumferentially regular. The cylindrical ring 42 is disposed on a radially outer wall of the inner body 34 so that the cylindrical ring 42 is disposed between a radially inner wall of the outer body 36 and the inner body 34.

Sur le pourtour de l'ouverture circulaire transversale située à l'extrémité distale D, le corps externe 36 du capuchon 14 comprend deux évidements 37, diamétralement opposés, de façon à recevoir l'organe 18, qui porte le motif ornemental, du corps interne 22 de la base 12, lorsque l'étui 10 occupe la position fermée.On the periphery of the transverse circular opening located at the distal end D, the outer body 36 of the cap 14 comprises two recesses 37, diametrically opposed, so as to receive the member 18, which carries the ornamental pattern, of the inner body 22 of the base 12, when the case 10 occupies the closed position.

Ainsi, les deux évidements du corps externe 36 du capuchon 14 autorisent deux positions relatives de la base 12 et du capuchon 14 lorsque l'étui 10 occupe la position fermée. Ces deux positions sont symétriques par rapport à l'axe longitudinal (X). Selon une variante, le corps externe 36 du capuchon 14 autorise une seule ou encore trois positions relatives de la base 12 et du capuchon 14 lorsque l'étui 10 occupe la position fermée. Ce nombre est égal au nombre d'évidemment du corps externe 36 du capuchon 14.Thus, the two recesses of the outer body 36 of the cap 14 allow two relative positions of the base 12 and of the cap 14 when the case 10 occupies the closed position. These two positions are symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis (X). According to a variant, the outer body 36 of the cap 14 allows only one or three relative positions of the base 12 and of the cap 14 when the case 10 occupies the closed position. This number is equal to the number of recesses of the outer body 36 of the cap 14.

On va maintenant décrire les moyens de maintien en position relative de la base 12 et du capuchon 14 lorsque l'étui 10 occupe la position fermée.We will now describe the means for maintaining the base 12 and the cap 14 in relative position when the case 10 is in the closed position.

Comme on le voit notamment sur les figures 2, 3A, 3B et 4, la base 12 et le capuchon 14 comportent chacun quatre organes à aimantation permanente 44, qui se présentent ici sous la forme d'aimants. On notera que, sur la figure 4, les corps externes 24, 36 respectifs de la base 12 et du capuchon 14 sont translatés le long de l'axe longitudinal (X) de façon à laisser apparaître les organes à aimantation permanente 44. Cette configuration n'est pas la configuration de l'étui 10 lorsque ce dernier est assemblé et est apte à être utilisé. Il s'agit d'une illustration permettant une bonne compréhension du fonctionnement de l'étui 10.As can be seen in particular on figures 2, 3A, 3B and 4 , the base 12 and the cap 14 each comprise four permanently magnetized members 44, which are here in the form of magnets. It will be noted that, on the figure 4 , the respective outer bodies 24, 36 of the base 12 and of the cap 14 are translated along the longitudinal axis (X) so as to reveal the permanent magnet members 44. This configuration is not the configuration of the case 10 when the latter is assembled and is suitable for use. This is an illustration allowing a good understanding of the operation of the case 10.

Les quatre organes à aimantation permanente 44 de la base 12 sont disposés, circonférentiellement de façon régulière, dans des espaces définis axialement par la collerette 28 et la bague cylindrique 32, et radialement par les nervures 30. De même, les quatre organes à aimantation permanente 44 du capuchon 14 sont disposés, circonférentiellement de façon régulière, dans des espaces définis axialement par la collerette 38 et la bague cylindrique 42 et radialement par les nervures 40.The four permanent magnet members 44 of the base 12 are arranged, circumferentially in a regular manner, in spaces defined axially by the flange 28 and the cylindrical ring 32, and radially by the ribs 30. Likewise, the four permanent magnet members 44 of the cap 14 are arranged, circumferentially in a regular manner, in spaces defined axially by the flange 38 and the cylindrical ring 42 and radially by the ribs 40.

Ainsi, les organes à aimantation permanente 44 sont maintenus axialement entre des moyens de butée axiale portés par le corps interne 22 de la base 12, ici la collerette 28 et la bague cylindrique 32. Ils sont de plus maintenus radialement par les nervures 30, et dans le sens opposé, par le corps interne 22, qui forment des moyens de maintien en position radiale des organes aimantation permanente 44. En effet, les organes à aimantation permanente 44 sont appliqués, radialement vers l'intérieur, contre une surface radiale externe du corps interne 22, située en regard des nervures 30. Des surfaces internes radialement des nervures 30 forment des butées pour les organes à aimantation permanente 44. Chacune des deux branches de la forme en « V » d'une nervure 30 forme une butée pour un organe à aimantation permanente 44. Ainsi, un organe à aimantation permanente 44 bute sur deux nervures 30 consécutives circonférentiellement. De même, une nervure 30 est en contact direct avec deux organes à aimantation permanente 44 consécutifs circonférentiellement.Thus, the permanently magnetized members 44 are held axially between axial stop means carried by the internal body 22 of the base 12, here the flange 28 and the cylindrical ring 32. They are also held radially by the ribs 30, and in the opposite direction, by the internal body 22, which form means for maintaining the permanent magnetization members 44 in radial position. In fact, the permanent magnetization members 44 are applied, radially inwards, against an external radial surface of the internal body 22, located opposite the ribs 30. Radially internal surfaces of the ribs 30 form stops for the permanently magnetized members 44. Each of the two branches of the "V" shape of a rib 30 forms a stop for a permanent magnet member 44. Thus, a permanent magnet member 44 abuts on two ribs 30 consecutive circumferentially. Likewise, a rib 30 is in direct contact with two circumferentially consecutive permanent magnet members 44.

Les organes à aimantation permanente 44 du capuchon 14 sont disposés de la même façon. Ils sont donc maintenus axialement entre des moyens de butée axiale portés par le corps interne 34 du capuchon 14, ici la collerette 38 et la bague cylindrique 42. Ils sont de plus maintenus radialement par les nervures 40, et dans le sens opposé, par le corps interne 34, qui forment des moyens de maintien en position radiale des organes aimantation permanente 44. En effet, les organes à aimantation permanente 44 sont appliqués, radialement vers l'intérieur, contre une surface radiale externe du corps interne 22 située en regard des nervures 40. Des surfaces internes radialement des nervures 40 forment des butées pour les organes à aimantation permanente 44. Chacune des deux branches de la forme en « V » d'une nervure 40 forme une butée pour un organe à aimantation permanente 44. Ainsi, un organe à aimantation permanente 44 bute sur deux nervures 40 consécutives circonférentiellement. De même, une nervure 40 est en contact direct avec deux organes à aimantation permanente 44 consécutifs circonférentiellement.The permanent magnet members 44 of the cap 14 are arranged in the same way. They are therefore held axially between axial stop means carried by the internal body 34 of the cap 14, here the flange 38 and the cylindrical ring 42. They are also held radially by the ribs 40, and in the opposite direction, by the internal body 34, which form means for maintaining the permanent magnetization members 44 in radial position. In fact, the permanent magnetization members 44 are applied, radially inwards, against an external radial surface of the internal body 22 situated opposite the ribs 40. Radially internal surfaces of the ribs 40 form stops for the permanent magnet members 44. Each of the two branches of the "V" shape of a rib 40 forms a stop for a permanent magnet member 44. Thus, a permanently magnetized member 44 abuts on two circumferentially consecutive ribs 40. Likewise, a rib 40 is in direct contact with two circumferentially consecutive permanent magnet members 44.

Les organes à aimantation permanente 44 portés par la base 12 ou le capuchon 14 sont diamétralement opposés deux à deux.The permanent magnet members 44 carried by the base 12 or the cap 14 are diametrically opposed two by two.

On va maintenant décrire, à l'aide de la figure 5, de manière schématique, les interactions entre organes à aimantation permanente 44 qui maintiennent la base 12 et le capuchon 14 en position relative lorsque l'étui 10 occupe la position fermée. Seuls les organes à aimantation permanente 44 et les bagues cylindriques 32, 42 sont représentés.We will now describe, using the figure 5 , schematically, the interactions between permanent magnet members 44 which maintain the base 12 and the cap 14 in relative position when the case 10 occupies the closed position. Only the permanent magnet members 44 and the cylindrical rings 32, 42 are shown.

Deux organes à aimantation permanente 44 consécutifs circonférentiellement portés par la base 12 sont en opposition de phase. Cela signifie que l'un des deux présente une face proximale P dont le pôle est positif et une face distale D dont le pôle est négatif et que l'autre présente une face proximale P dont le pôle est négatif et une face distale D dont le pôle est positif. De même, deux organes à aimantation permanente 44 consécutifs circonférentiellement portés par le capuchon 14 sont en opposition de phase.Two consecutive permanent magnet members 44 circumferentially carried by the base 12 are in phase opposition. This means that one of the two has a proximal face P whose pole is positive and a distal face D whose pole is negative and that the other has a proximal face P whose pole is negative and a distal face D whose pole is positive. Likewise, two consecutive permanent magnet members 44 circumferentially carried by the cap 14 are in phase opposition.

Ainsi, comme on le voit sur la figure 5, la base 12 et le capuchon 14 peuvent occuper deux positions respectives lorsque l'étui 10 est dans la position fermée. Ces deux positions correspondent à des configurations où les pôles négatifs de deux organes à aimantation permanente 44 portés par la base 12 sont en regards des pôles positifs de deux organes à aimantation permanente 44 portés par le capuchon 14 et où les pôles positifs de deux organes à aimantation permanente 44 portés par la base 12 sont en regards des pôles négatifs de deux organes à aimantation permanente 44 portés par le capuchon 14.So, as seen on the figure 5 , the base 12 and the cap 14 can occupy two respective positions when the case 10 is in the closed position. These two positions correspond to configurations where the negative poles of two permanent magnet members 44 carried by the base 12 are opposite the positive poles of two permanent magnet members 44 carried by the cap 14 and where the positive poles of two permanent magnet members permanent magnetization 44 carried by the base 12 are opposite the negative poles of two permanent magnetization members 44 carried by the cap 14.

Ainsi, lorsque l'étui 10 occupe la position fermée, chaque organe à aimantation permanente 44 porté par la base 12 est positionné de sorte qu'il présente une face, de polarité opposée à une face de l'organe à aimantation permanente 44 consécutif, circonférentiellement, porté par la base 12, et de polarité opposée à une face située en vis-à-vis des deux organes à aimantation permanente 44 portés par le capuchon 14.Thus, when the case 10 occupies the closed position, each permanent magnet member 44 carried by the base 12 is positioned so that it has a face, of opposite polarity to a face of the consecutive permanent magnet member 44, circumferentially, carried by the base 12, and of opposite polarity to a face located opposite the two permanent magnet members 44 carried by the cap 14.

Inversement, si l'utilisateur positionne le capuchon 14 de manière à ce que des faces des organes à aimantation 44 de la base 12 ont la même polarité que des faces en regards portées par le capuchon 14, les forces de répulsion entre faces de même polarité et d'attraction entre faces de polarités inverses vont provoquer une rotation autour de l'axe longitudinal (X) de la base 12 par rapport au capuchon 14 de façon à ce que la base 12 et le capuchon 14 s'installent dans une position relative telle que décrite plus haut. Cette rotation est en outre guidée par une surface externe radiale de l'organe de préhension 17 qui coopère avec la surface interne radiale du corps interne 34 du capuchon 14.Conversely, if the user positions the cap 14 so that the faces of the magnetization members 44 of the base 12 have the same polarity as the opposite faces carried by the cap 14, the repulsive forces between faces of the same polarity and attraction between faces of opposite polarities will cause a rotation around the longitudinal axis (X) of the base 12 with respect to the cap 14 so that the base 12 and the cap 14 settle in a relative position as described above. This rotation is further guided by a radial outer surface of the gripping member 17 which cooperates with the radial inner surface of the inner body 34 of the cap 14.

De plus, les bagues cylindriques 32, 42, en fer diamagnétique dans ce mode de réalisation, de l'un parmi la base 12 et le capuchon 14, sont attirées par les organes à aimantation permanente 44 de l'autre de façon à ce que la force de maintien en position est accrue.In addition, the cylindrical rings 32, 42, made of diamagnetic iron in this embodiment, of one of the base 12 and the cap 14, are attracted by the permanent magnet members 44 of the other so that the holding force in position is increased.

On va maintenant décrire un procédé d'assemblage de l'étui 10.A method of assembling the case 10 will now be described.

On moule le corps interne 22 et le corps externe 24 de la base 12. Le corps interne 22 comprend ainsi comprend la collerette 28 et les nervures 30. On glisse ensuite les organes à aimantation permanente 44, depuis l'extrémité distale D du corps interne 22, le long du corps interne 22 jusqu'à ce qu'ils reposent sur la collerette 28 et sont maintenus radialement vers l'extérieur par les nervures 30. On glisse ensuite la bague cylindrique 32, depuis l'extrémité distale D du corps interne 22, jusqu'à ce qu'elle vienne s'appuyer longitudinalement sur les organes à aimantation permanente 44 et les nervures 30. Ensuite, on applique un cordon de colle sur la surface externe radiale du pourtour circonférentiel du corps interne 22 dont les contours définissent l'ouverture proximale P. Puis, le corps externe 24 est glissé, depuis l'extrémité distale D du corps interne 22 de sorte que la collerette 28 est en contact avec la surface radiale interne du corps externe 24. Ainsi, le corps interne 22 est collé au corps externe 24.The internal body 22 and the external body 24 are molded from the base 12. The internal body 22 thus comprises the collar 28 and the ribs 30. The permanent magnet members 44 are then slid from the distal end D of the internal body. 22, along the internal body 22 until they rest on the flange 28 and are held radially outwards by the ribs 30. The cylindrical ring 32 is then slid from the distal end D of the internal body 22 until it comes to bear longitudinally on the permanent magnet members. 44 and the ribs 30. Next, a bead of adhesive is applied to the radial outer surface of the circumferential periphery of the inner body 22, the contours of which define the proximal opening P. Then, the outer body 24 is slid from the distal end. D of the internal body 22 so that the flange 28 is in contact with the internal radial surface of the external body 24. Thus, the internal body 22 is glued to the external body 24.

Le même procédé s'applique à l'assemblage du capuchon 14. On moule le corps interne 34 et le corps externe 36. On glisse ensuite les organes à aimantation permanente 44, depuis l'extrémité proximale P du corps interne 34, le long du corps interne 34, jusqu'à ce qu'ils reposent sur la collerette 38 et sont maintenus radialement vers l'extérieur par les nervures 40. On glisse ensuite la bague cylindrique 42, depuis l'extrémité proximale P du corps interne 34, jusqu'à ce qu'elle vienne s'appuyer longitudinalement sur les organes à aimantation permanente 44 et les nervures 40. Ensuite, on applique un cordon de colle sur la surface externe radiale du pourtour circonférentiel du corps interne 34 dont les contours définissent l'ouverture distale D. Puis, le corps externe 36 est glissé, depuis l'extrémité proximale P du corps interne 34 de sorte que la collerette 38 est en contact avec la surface radiale interne du corps externe 36. Ainsi, le corps interne 34 est collé au corps externe 36.The same process applies to the assembly of the cap 14. The inner body 34 and the outer body 36 are molded. The permanent magnet members 44 are then slid from the proximal end P of the inner body 34 along the internal body 34, until they rest on the flange 38 and are held radially outwardly by the ribs 40. The cylindrical ring 42 is then slid from the proximal end P of the internal body 34, up to so that it comes to bear longitudinally on the permanent magnetization members 44 and the ribs 40. Then, a bead of adhesive is applied to the radial outer surface of the circumferential periphery of the inner body 34, the contours of which define the distal opening D. Then, the outer body 36 is slid from the proximal end P of the inner body 34 so that the flange 38 is in contact with the inner radial surface of the outer body 36. Thus, the inner body 34 is glued to the body. external 36.

Bien entendu, on pourra apporter à l'invention de nombreuses variantes sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention.Of course, many variations can be made to the invention without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Les formes extérieures des corps internes 22, 34 et des corps externes 24, 36, respectifs, de la base 12 et du capuchon 14 pourront être quelconques, par exemple, de section polygonale ou elliptique. En outre, cette section peut varier le long de l'axe longitudinal (X). A titre d'exemple, la section peut être polygonale à l'extrémité proximale P et elliptique à l'extrémité distale D.The outer shapes of the inner bodies 22, 34 and outer bodies 24, 36, respectively, of the base 12 and of the cap 14 may be any, for example, of polygonal or elliptical section. In addition, this section can vary along the longitudinal axis (X). For example, the section can be polygonal at the proximal end P and elliptical at the distal end D.

On pourra notamment utiliser différents types d'organes à aimantation permanente 44.In particular, different types of permanent magnet members 44 can be used.

On pourra faire varier la forme et l'agencement des organes à aimantation permanente 44.It is possible to vary the shape and the arrangement of the members with permanent magnetization 44.

On pourra également n'installer que deux organes à aimantation permanente 44 sur la base 12 et le capuchon 14 de façon à n'autoriser qu'une seule position relative de la base 12 et du capuchon 14 lorsque l'étui 10 occupe la position fermée. Dans ce cas, les deux organes à aimantation permanente 44 occupent de préférence des positions diamétralement opposées l'un par rapport à l'autre.It is also possible to install only two permanent magnet members 44 on the base 12 and the cap 14 so as to allow only one relative position of the base 12 and of the cap 14 when the case 10 occupies the closed position. . In this case, the two permanent magnet members 44 preferably occupy diametrically opposed positions with respect to each other.

Les organes à aimantation permanente 44 peuvent être collés aux corps internes 22, 34 respectifs ou aux bagues cylindriques 32, 42 respectives de la base 12 et du capuchon 14.The permanent magnet members 44 can be glued to the respective internal bodies 22, 34 or to the respective cylindrical rings 32, 42 of the base 12 and the cap 14.
