Description

The present invention relates to a device for packaging and applying a cosmetic product comprising a covering defining a cavity and having an outlet passage of the product, an intermediate body, movable along a longitudinal axis relative to the cladding between a retracted position inside the cavity and an extraction position, means for retaining the intermediate body with respect to the cladding in the position d extraction, and a cup for supporting the product, the cup being movable relative to the dressing along the longitudinal axis, together with the intermediate body, between the retracted position and the extraction position, and the cup being movable relative to the intermediate body along the longitudinal axis of the extraction position to an extracted position of access to the pro Duit. For the purposes of the present invention, the term "cosmetic product" is intended especially to mean a product defined in Council Directive 93/35 EEC, dated June 14, 1993. The device according to the present invention is intended to be used in particular to receive and dispensing a cosmetic product packaged in the form of a block, such as a stick or "grape" of lipstick, a care for the lips, a foundation, a blusher, a concealer, a composition treatment or hydration, a hair care product or a deodorant, for direct application on the skin or keratin fibers of a human or animal. In cosmetic product application devices in the form of a stick, such as a lipstick grape, it is known to mount the stick on a body comprising a stick receiving tube and a stick extraction base out of the mouth. tube. The body generally includes a mechanism for extracting the stick from the tube. The mechanism is driven by rotationally rotating the extraction base relative to the tube about a longitudinal axis of rotation. To use the cosmetic product stick, the user grasps the base with the fingers of one hand and the tube with the fingers of a second hand, and turns the base relative to the tube, resulting in the release of the cosmetic product stick. Such a device is therefore tedious to use, since it requires the simultaneous use of both hands. To overcome this drawback, it is known from US Pat. No. 3,989,392 a 35-wheel applicator for a product in the form of a stick. This applicator comprises a hollow body, open at one end, a support base for the product, and a gear wheel. The wheel has a fixed axis relative to the body, which drives the support base in translation relative to the hollow body, so as to extract the product and make this product accessible to the user. No closure means of the hollow body at its open end is provided, so that the product is not protected between two uses. US Patent 2,529,037 discloses a retractable writing device comprising a body open at one of its ends and provided with a longitudinal slot. It comprises a mine, fixed on a base mounted to move in the body along a longitudinal axis. Such a device is not suitable for sealingly packaging a cosmetic product. US 3,728,034 discloses a case for lipstick comprising a hollow covering open at one end, a base for supporting a grape of lipstick movable along a longitudinal axis in the dressing. In order to access the lipstick raisin, the user first has to separate the dressing from a lid by grasping the dressing with the fingers of one hand, and the lid using fingers of a second hand. Such a device, requiring the simultaneous use of both hands, is therefore also tedious to use. EP 2 022 365 discloses a device for packaging and applying a cosmetic product, comprising a hollow base, a base for supporting the product, and means for driving the base in translation relative to the base. These drive means comprise a rotary member. This device is provided with a cover, removably mounted on the base, and to protect the product when it is not used. This cover must be separated from the base to give access to the product, so that the use of this device can also be tedious. US Pat. Nos. 5,423,622 and 5,171,096 both describe a device that overcomes this disadvantage. The devices described in these documents comprise an open tubular dressing at one of its ends and a mechanism for extracting the grapes 30 from the dressing. This mechanism comprises a rotatable member about a longitudinal axis of the device. The manipulation of this rotary member, whose axis of rotation is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the device, is however difficult. US Pat. No. 2,443,361 discloses a device for packaging and applying a cosmetic product comprising a covering, an intermediate housing of the product, a cup for supporting the product, a mechanism for extracting the product from the intermediate body, driven by rotation of the extraction base relative to the dressing, and shutters shutter opening of the dressing. Access to the product is obtained in two stages. In a first step, the user moves the extraction base in translation relative to the dressing, the intermediate body then pushing the shutters and causing their opening. Then, the user rotates the extraction base relative to the dressing, causing an output of the product. Such a demand device also requires the simultaneous use of both hands. In this context, the invention aims to propose a device for packaging and applying a product that is simple to deploy. For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a device of the aforementioned type, characterized in that it comprises means for driving the cup in translation relative to the casing along the longitudinal axis between the extraction position. and the extracted position, said drive means comprising a track secured to the cup and an actuator rotatably mounted about an axis perpendicular to said longitudinal axis, the rotary member having an actuating region engaged on the integral track of the cup.

The subject of the invention is also a method for using a cosmetic product, characterized in that it comprises the following steps: providing a device according to the invention; - Joint displacement of the cup and the intermediate body in translation relative to the dressing along the longitudinal axis, from the retracted position to the extraction position of the cup, by actuating the drive means; - Displacement of the cup relative to the intermediate body along the longitudinal axis, the extraction position to an extracted position of access to the product, by actuating the rotary member.

The invention will be better understood on reading the description which will follow, given solely by way of example, and with reference to the appended drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a device for application according to the invention in a retracted position of the cosmetic product in the dressing; - Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1, wherein the intermediate body occupies an extraction position out of the cladding; - Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2, wherein the product occupies a position extracted out of the dressing; - Figure 4 is a sectional view taken along a median vertical plane of the device of Figure 1; - Figure 5 is a sectional view taken along a median vertical plane of the device of Figure 2; FIG. 6 is a sectional view, taken along a median vertical plane, of the device of FIG. 3. The packaging and application device 1 represented in FIGS. 1 to 6 is intended for the application of a product. solid cosmetics. This device 1 is intended to be used in particular for receiving and dispensing a self-supporting cosmetic product, for example packaged in the form of a block 2, such as a stick or grape of lipstick, a care for the lips, a base of dyed, a blush, a concealer, a treatment or hydration composition, a hair care product or a deodorant, for direct application to the skin or the keratinous fibers of a human or animal . The device 1 comprises an outer casing 3, an intermediate body 5, a cup 7 intended to support the block 2 and means 11 for driving the cup 7 in translation relative to the casing of the block 2, comprising a body The outer cladding 3 defines a housing of the intermediate body 5, the cup 7 and the block 2. The outer cladding 3 comprises a hollow tubular element 13 of longitudinal axis A-A ', vertical on the Figures 1 to 6, and a guide 16 for receiving the intermediate body 5.

The tubular element 13 defines an inner cavity 17 housing the intermediate body 5 and the cup 7. The cavity 17 opens axially upwards through an outlet opening 19 of the block 2. It is closed downwards by a lower wall 13d. In all that follows, the chosen orientations are indicative and agree with respect to Figures 1 to 6. In particular, the terms "superior", "lower", "high", "low", are understood in a relative manner. relative to the orientation selected in the Figures, the terms "upper" and "high" generally mean closer to the exit opening 19 of block 2 while the terms "lower" or "lower" are hear closer to the wall 13d. Furthermore, in the remainder of the description, we will call vertical (e) a plane or line parallel to the longitudinal axis A-A '.

In the example shown, the tubular element 13 has a substantially polygonal cross section bevelled at its corners. This section is substantially triangular. The tubular element 13 thus comprises three vertical walls 13a, 13b and 13c of height h and width I, and a bottom wall 13d. Alternatively, the cross section is elongated or rounded, in particular circular. The tubular element 13 may have a variable section moving along the axis A-A '. The outlet opening 19 of the block 2, delimited by the upper edges of the vertical walls 13a, 13b and 13c, is therefore substantially triangular in shape. In this example, the tubular element 13 has a substantially smooth outer surface. The tubular element 13 further comprises, on one of its vertical walls 13a, a through window 14 for passage of the rotary member 12. The window 14 is for example of rectangular shape. It is defined by a lower rim, an upper rim and two lateral edges. It extends for example over the entire width I of the vertical wall 13a and a height less than the height h of the vertical wall 13a, at an intermediate height of this vertical wall 13a. The guide 16 for receiving the intermediate body 5 is housed in the tubular element 13. It is suitable for guiding and retaining the intermediate body 5 in the covering 3. It is mounted integral with the tubular element 13. It comprises a internal stop 25 and an intermediate tubular element 27. The inner abutment 25, integral with the wall 13d of the tubular element 13, is formed by a hollow tubular element of axis A-A '. It projects into the cavity 17 of the wall 13d to a transverse plane 25a located below the window 14. Its cross section, for example circular, is smaller than the cross section of the tubular element 13. The element intermediate tubular 27 comprises a vertical peripheral wall 28 for retaining the intermediate body 5 in the casing 3, a horizontal wall 29 for fixing the intermediate element 27 to the casing 3 and stop means 30 of the intermediate body 5, which are clean. to retain longitudinally the intermediate body 5 in the casing 3. The peripheral wall 28 has the general shape of a hollow cylinder AA 'axis open at its upper end, projecting from the wall 13d to the opening 19, to the interior of the cavity 17, to a transverse plane located below the window 14 and above the transverse plane 25a defined by the inner abutment 25. Its inner cross section is of shape in conjunction with the outer transverse section of the inner abutment 25, so that the peripheral wall 28 is in abutment against the inner abutment 25. The transverse wall attachment 29 protrudes radially outwardly from the peripheral wall 28 to the inner surfaces of the vertical walls 13a, 13b and 13c, below the window 14 of the tubular element 13. It extends angularly over the entire periphery of the peripheral wall 28. It is integral with the element tubular 13 and the peripheral wall 28. It comprises a slot 29a for guiding the cup 7, extending closer to the peripheral wall 28 on an angular sector positioned vis-à-vis the window 14.

The abutment means 30 comprise an annular transverse wall 32 and an abutment ring 33. The annular transverse wall 32 extends substantially perpendicular to the axis AA 'from the inner surface of the peripheral wall 28, towards the axis A-A', above the transverse plane 25a defined by the inner abutment 25 The annular transverse wall 32 and the transverse plane 25a thus define a housing of the thrust ring 33. The abutment ring 33 has an inner diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the inner abutment 25, and thus protrudes transversely from the inner wall of the inner abutment 25 towards the axis A-A '. It thus forms an internal abutment shoulder. The casing 3 is also provided with means 40 for closing off the outlet opening 19. These closure means 40 advantageously comprise flaps 40a, 40b and 40c hinged between a closed position of closure of the opening 19, illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 4, and an open position, illustrated in FIGS. 2, 3, 5 and 6. Advantageously, the closure means 40 comprise three flaps 40a, 40b and 40c. The flaps 40a, 40b and 40c are for example parts of triangular section and of thickness substantially equal to the thickness of the walls 13a, 13b and 13c of the tubular element 13. Advantageously, the section of each flap flap 40a, 40b and 40c forms an isosceles triangle whose two sides, said inner, are of identical lengths and the said main side, longer than the inner sides, is of length equal to the width I of the walls 13a, 13b and 13c of the tubular element The flaps 40a, 40b and 40c are fixed by their main side to the upper edges of the vertical walls 13a, 13b and 13c of the tubular element 13, respectively, by fixing means. In their open position, visible in Figures 2, 3, 5 and 6, the flaps 40a, 40b and 40c extend vertically in the extension of the walls 13a, 13b and 13c of the tubular element 13.

In their closed position visible in FIGS. 1 and 2, the flaps 40a, 40b and 40c extend in a horizontal plane, that is to say perpendicular to the axis A-A ', passing through the opening 19 of the tubular element 13. The three flaps 40a, 40b and 40c are complementary shapes: in their closed position, their inner sides are joined, and the three flaps form a triangle of substantially identical shape to the cross section of the tubular element 13. In this closed position, the outlet opening 19 is closed. The fixing means of each flap 40a, 40b and 40c to an upper edge of a vertical wall 13a, 13b and 13c comprise a member 41a, 41b, 41c of elastic return, for example a spring, suitable for exerting a restoring force from this flap to its closed position. The intermediate body 5, housed in the casing 3, defines a housing of the cup 7 and the block 2. It comprises a sleeve 42 and a foot 43. The sleeve 42 and the foot 43 are advantageously made in one piece, by coming from matter. The bushing 42 is mounted in external support against the tubular element 5. It has a hollow cylinder shape of axis A-A ', open at its upper end and closed at its lower end by a bottom wall 42a. The height of the bushing 42 is smaller than the height of the tubular element 13. The bushing 42 has a cylindrical wall 42b whose outer cross-section is of a shape substantially conjugate to the internal cross-section of the cavity 17. The bushing 42 defines an inner cavity for housing and guiding the cup 7, opening axially upwards through an outlet opening 42c of the product 9 and closed downwards by the bottom wall 42a. The opening 42c is delimited by an upper rim 42d of the sleeve 42, of annular shape. The bottom wall 42a of the sleeve 42 also has a vertical slot 44 for passage of the cup 7, of substantially rectangular shape. The slot 44 is adjacent to the vertical wall 42b and extends over an angular sector positioned at the right of the window 14. The vertical wall 42b further comprises a through window 45 connecting with the drive means 11. The window 45 is adjacent to the bottom wall 42a and extends over an angular sector positioned in line with the window 14. The foot 43, integral with the section 42, is generally cylindrical in shape. It projects along the axis A-A 'from the bottom wall 42a of the section 42 to the bottom wall 13d 35 of the tubular element 13.

Its section, homothetic in shape to the section of the inner abutment 25 and the intermediate tubular element 27, for example circular, is variable by moving along the axis A-A '. It thus has an upper shoulder 43a, longitudinal grooves 43C and a lower stop 43b.

The foot 43 is housed in the assembly 16 for receiving the intermediate body 5. The shoulder 43a is housed in external support against the inner surface of the intermediate tubular element 27, above the abutment means 30. The lower abutment is housed in external support against the inner surface of the inner abutment 25. The intermediate body 5 is movably mounted in the casing 3, between a retracted position and an extraction position. In the retracted position, the intermediate body 5 is housed in the cavity 17 of the casing 3 and the flaps 40a, 40b and 40c are in their closed position, abutting against the flange 42d of the sleeve. The shoulder 43a is in the vicinity of the annular transverse wall 32, and the bottom stop 43b is on the contrary in a position relatively remote from the annular transverse wall 32. In the extraction position, the intermediate body 5 protrudes out of the covering 3 and the flaps 40a, 40b and 40c are in their open position. The abutment 43b of the foot 43 is in contact with the ring 33.

The shoulder 43a has moved away from the annular transverse wall 32, and the lower abutment 43b on the contrary has approached the annular transverse wall 32. During the displacement of the intermediate body 5 from the retracted position to the extraction position the flange 42d of the section 42 is adapted to exert a thrust force on the flaps 40a, 40b and 40c, opposing the elastic return force exerted by the members 41a, 41b, 41c of elastic return to pass the flaps 40a, 40b and 40c from their closed position to their open position. The device further comprises a resilient biasing member of the intermediate body 5 to the extraction position. This resilient biasing member is for example a spring 46, of cylindrical shape, bearing between the upper bearing shoulder 43a of the foot 43 and the annular transverse wall 32. The spring 46 exerts a thrust force on the intermediate body according to the axis AA 'towards the opening 19. The cup 7 forms a support receptacle of the block 2. It is housed in the sleeve 42 of the intermediate body 5. It comprises a substantially horizontal bottom wall 50a and a peripheral wall 50b substantially vertical. It advantageously has an outer cross section of substantially conjugate shape to the inner cross section of the cup 42. The cup 7 defines an insertion hole of the block 2 in which the lower end of the block 2 is mounted integral. The height of the cup 7 is less than that of the body 5. The block 2 extends along the axis A-A 'between the cup 7 and a free upper end. Advantageously, the base of the block 2 has a conjugate outer cross section of the inner cross section of the cup 7. The block 2 is advantageously tapered near its free end. The cup 7 is movably mounted in the casing 3 together with the body 5 between a retracted position and an extraction position on a first stroke along the axis A-A '. From the extraction position, the cup 7 is movable relative to the casing 3 and an intermediate body 5 to an extracted position. In the retracted position, shown in Figures 1 and 4, the bottom wall 42a of the sleeve 42 is in vertical abutment against the bottom wall 50a of the cup 7. The block 2 is thus completely hidden in the cavity of the sleeve 42 and in the cavity 17 of the casing 3. In the extraction position, shown in Figures 2 and 5, the bottom wall 42a of the sleeve 42 abuts against the bottom wall 50a of the cup 7. The block 2 is completely masked in the cavity of the cup 42. Between the retracted position and the extraction position, the bottom wall 42a of the sleeve 42 of the intermediate body 5 is in abutment vertically against the bottom wall 50a of the cup 7. Between these two positions, the cup 7 thus retains the intermediate body 5 along the axis AA 'against the resilient biasing member 46 of the intermediate body. In the extracted position, shown in Figures 3 and 6, the cup 7 is disposed in the upper part of the inner cavity of the cavity 17. The intermediate body 5 is retained relative to the casing 3 in its extraction position . In particular, the lower abutment 45b of the foot 45 is in abutment against the abutment ring 33, and the lower wall 42a disposed axially away from the lower wall 50a of the cup 7. Moreover, the stick 2 projects out of the casing 3 and the intermediate body 5. The drive means 11 are adapted to drive the cup 7 in translation relative to the casing 3 along the axis AA 'between the retracted position and the extraction position then, between the extraction position and the extracted position. The drive means 11 comprise a rod 55 for guiding and driving the cup, integral with the cup 7, an actuating member 12 rotatably mounted about an axis perpendicular to the axis A-A '. They advantageously comprise a jacket 58 defining a support seat for the rotary member 12. The rod 55 is adapted to cooperate with the rotary member 12 to cause a deployment of the block 2 out of the casing 3.

The rod 55 protrudes vertically downwards from the lower surface 50a of the cup 7 towards the bottom wall 13d of the tubular element 13, opposite the window 14, through the passage slot 44 formed in the section 42. The rod 55 includes an inner surface and an outer surface. The outer surface is directed towards the window 14. It comprises a track 56 advantageously made in an adherent coating of elastomer type. The rod 55 is advantageously made of material with the cup 7. In the retracted position and in the extraction position, the rod 55 extends through the guide slot 29a formed in the transverse wall attachment 29. The jacket 58 is in the general shape of hollow cylinder. It is preferably of height less than the height h of the tubular element 13. Its inner cross section is of substantially conjugate shape to the outer cross section of the covering 3. The jacket 58 has a through window 62 of passage and retaining the rotary member 12 disposed opposite the window 14 of the casing 3 which defines a seat for supporting the rotary member 12. The window 62 has an inner transverse section of substantially conjugate shape to an outer transverse section of the rotary member 12, so as to retain the rotary member while allowing a rotational movement of the rotary member 12 about at least one axis perpendicular to the axis A-A '. The liner 58 further comprises a member or lug 66 of engagement, adapted to secure the liner 58 and the intermediate body 5 during displacement of the liner 58 in translation along the axis A-A '. The lug 66 protrudes radially from the inner surface of the liner 58 towards the axis A-A ', advantageously up to the cup 7, through the connecting window 45 of the bushing 42. It is of substantially conjugate transverse section. with the section of the connecting window 45 of the section 42. As illustrated by Figures 1 and 2, the sleeve 58 is slidably mounted around the casing 3 together with the intermediate body along the axis A-A ', between the retracted position, shown in Figures 1 and 4, wherein the rotatable member 12 is in the lower position in the window 14, and the extraction position, shown in Figures 2 and 5, wherein the tab 66 is press against the top edge of the window 14.

The rotary member 12 comprises at least one manual contact region and an actuation region engaged on the track 56. The rotary member 12 is operable in rotation about an axis perpendicular to the axis AA 'to drive in translation, for example by friction on the track 56, the cup 7 integral with the rod 55, between the extraction position illustrated in Figures 2 and 5 and an extracted position illustrated in Figures 3 and 6. Advantageously, the rotary member 12 is of spherical shape. Rotating member 12 may also be of elongate shape, such as cylindrical or ovoid. The operation of the device 1 according to the invention will now be described. Initially, as shown in Figures 1 and 4, the intermediate body 5, the jacket 58 and the cup 7 occupy their retracted position in the casing 3. Thus, the liner 58 is in the lower position in the window 14, and the lower end of the rod 55 is located in the vicinity or in contact with the bottom wall 13d of the casing 3. The lower wall 42a of the intermediate body 5 is abutted against the bottom wall 50a of the cup 7. As described above, the cup 7 retains the intermediate body 5 against the resilient biasing member 46. The intermediate body 5 is housed in the cavity 17 of the casing 3 and the flaps 40a, 40b and 40c are in their closed position. The block 2 is thus completely masked in the cavity of the cup 42 and in the cavity 17 of the covering 3. When a user wishes to use the cosmetic product, he first moves the liner 58 in translation along the axis A-A ', upwards, from the retracted position to the extraction position. For example, the user grasps the cladding 3 in the hollow of one of his hands, his thumb facing the shirt 58, and moves the shirt 58 in translation with his thumb. Such a displacement is therefore advantageously carried out with one hand. Advantageously, the action of the thumb of the user causes the release of a notch, not shown, said notch holding the cup 7 and the intermediate body 5 in the lower position against the spring 46. Thus, the unlocking of the notch allows the spring 46 to push the intermediate body 5 upwards, by driving in translation both the liner 58 and the cup 7. For example, the peripheral wall 28 comprises a groove in its lower part, vis-à-vis of the rod 55, and the rod 55 comprises at its lower end a projection which can be inserted into this groove and retain the cup 7 and the intermediate body 5 in the lower position against the spring 46.

During this movement of the retracted position to the extraction position, the engagement member 66, inserted into the window 44 of the section 42, translates the intermediate body 5 upwards along the axis A-A. ', from the retracted position to the extraction position. The upper edge 42d of the sleeve 42 exerts, during the displacement of the intermediate body 5, a thrust force on the flaps 40a, 40b and 40c, opposing the elastic return force exerted by the members 41a, 41b, 41c of resilient return on the flaps 40a, 40b and 40c, and thus pushes the flaps 40a, 40b and 40c from their closed position to their open position. Furthermore, during the displacement of the intermediate body 5, the bottom wall 42a of the bushing 42 bears against the bottom wall 50a of the cup 7. This causes the displacement in translation of the cup 7 upwards along the axis A. -A ', to the extraction position. In the extraction position, illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 5, the member 66 is in vertical abutment against the upper rim of the window 14.

The intermediate body 5 protrudes out of the cladding 3, the flaps 40a, 40b and 40c are in their open position, and the block 2 is completely hidden in the cavity of the sleeve 42. In particular, the bottom wall 42a of the socket 42 of the intermediate body 5 is in vertical support against the bottom wall 50a of the cup 7. In addition, the abutment 45b of the foot 45 of the intermediate body 5 is retained by the ring 33 abutment.

In a second step, the user moves the cup 7 with respect to the covering 3 and the intermediate body 5, from the extraction position to an extracted position. To do this, the user keeps the covering 3 in the hollow of his hands, his thumb facing the rotary member 12. He applies his thumb to the manual contact region of the rotary member 12 by applying a force in a first direction, downwards, this force driving the rotary member 12 in rotation about its axis. The region of actuation of the rotary member 12, engaged on the track 56, thus operates a rotational movement driving the track 56 in translation upwards along the axis A-A '. The cup 7, secured to the track 56, is also displaced in translation upward along the axis A-A '. During this movement, the stop ring 33 retains the intermediate body 5 relative to the casing 3 in the extraction position. The intermediate body 5 and the liner 58, secured to the intermediate body by the sleeve 66, are thus held fixed relative to the casing 3 during this movement. Thus, the cup 7 moves upwards relative to the body 5, without joint movement of the body 5. In the extracted position, illustrated in Figures 3 and 6, the intermediate body 5 is held in its extraction position. The abutment 45b remains applied against the ring 33. The intermediate body 5 protrudes out of the casing 3 and the flaps 40a, 40b and 40c are in their open position. The jacket 58 also occupies a position identical to the extraction position, the sleeve 66 being in vertical abutment against the upper rim of the window 14.

The cup 7 occupies the upper part of the cavity 17. In particular, the bottom wall 50a of the cup 7 has moved away from the lower wall 42a of the intermediate body 5. In this extracted position, the stick 2 projects out of the dressing 3 and the intermediate body 5, so that the user can apply the cosmetic product to his skin and / or keratin fibers.

When the user has finished using the cosmetic product, he first retracts the block 2 and the cup 7 from the extracted position to the extraction position, by applying to the rotary member 12 a force in one direction opposite to the first sense, that is to say upwards. This force drives the rotating member 12 in rotation about its axis. The region of actuation of the rotary member 12, engaged on the track 56, thus operates a rotational movement driving the track 56 in translation downward along the axis A-A '. The cup 7, secured to the rod 55, is also displaced in translation downwardly along the axis A-A 'to the extraction position. Then, the user retracts the cup 7, the intermediate body 5 and the jacket 58 from the extraction position to the retracted position, continuing to apply a force upwardly to the rotary member 12. This force causes the displacement of the cup 7 in translation downward along the axis A-A ', to the retracted position. During this movement, the lower wall 50a of the cup 7 pushes down the lower wall 42a of the sleeve 42. The cup 7 drives the intermediate body 5 in translation downward along the axis A-A ', until in the retracted position.

During the displacement of the intermediate body 5, the engagement member 66, inserted in the window 44 of the section 42, drives the sleeve 58 in translation downwards along the axis A-A 'of the extraction position. in the retracted position. Moreover, the elastic return members 41a, 41b, 41c exert a thrust force on the flaps 40a, 40b and 40c, such that during the displacement of the intermediate body 5, the flaps 40a, 40b and 40c, in abutment against the flange 42d, are pushed from their open position to their closed position. The device according to the invention is therefore very easy to use. In particular, the deployment and retraction of the product in the dressing can be carried out by means of one hand, the product remaining protected, when not in use, by the closure means of the covering.

In addition, the use of the device according to the invention is intuitive, the deployment and retraction of the product being effected by applying a force parallel to the axis of displacement of the product. It will however be understood that the embodiment shown above is not limiting. In particular, according to another embodiment, the track 56 of the rod 55 is a rack adapted to cooperate with a notched track formed on the rotary member 12. Furthermore, according to one embodiment, the device comprises locking means of the cup 7 relative to the intermediate body 5, said locking means being unlocked when the intermediate body 5 is in the up position. Thus, the product 2 can not mount relative to the intermediate body 5 as the means 40a, 40b, 40c shutter are closed, and it can not be damaged by the means 40a, 40b, 40c shutter. In addition, the device may comprise locking means of the intermediate body 5 relative to the casing 3 when the cup 7 is moved, these locking means being unlocked when the cup 7 is in the low position. Such means make it possible to avoid lowering the intermediate body 5 and closing the closing means 40a, 40b, 40c while the product 2 is still out, which could damage the latter.

On the other hand, the terms "one", "two", "three" generally mean "at least one", "two or more", "at least three".
