Advantageously, in the embodiment shown, the outer surface of the collar 48 comprises at least one circumferential groove and an adhesive provided to fasten the dressing body 52 and the collar 48 is retained in the groove. . This makes it possible to achieve a particularly rigid fastening, in particular between the dressing body 52 and the collar 48.

Alternatively, the dressing body 52 and collar 48 are formed as a single piece.

Except for the ribs 88 and 90, the pushing member 50 extends within the space defined by the outer surface of the collar 48.

The push member 50 is mounted movably relative to the collar 48 between the rest position and the retract position, the push member when in the retract position, the first indexing element 30 and the first portion 12 and the second The indexing element 64 can be separated. In particular, the pushing member 50 may change the deformable portion 60 from the rest position to the disengage position from the rest position to the detachable position in the radial direction outward.

Additionally, in the retracted position, the pushing member 50 pushes the second end 26 of the first portion 12 such that the first indexing element 30 is offset relative to the second indexing element. Thus, when the pushing member 50 returns to the rest position, the dressing 16 does not immediately reengage with the first part 12.

To switch from the rest position to the retracted position, the pushing member 50 is movable relative to the collar 48 upon translational movement along the length direction of the collar.

The second end 76 of the pushing member extends in contact with the inner surface of the edge of the dressing body. Each tab 86 of the pushing member 50 is aligned with the deformable portion 60 of the collar 48 along the longitudinal direction,

At least one rib, in particular each main rib 88, is intended for operation between the second end 58 of the collar 48 and the actuating elastic member 70, in particular here with the edge 98 of the dressing body 52. It extends between the elastic members (70).

Each auxiliary rib 90 also extends into an additional opening 66 of the collar 48.

In the rest position, the second end 76 of the pushing member 50 is aligned with the second end 96 of the dressing body 52.

Each tab 86 does not act on the deformable portion 60, in particular, does not contact the deformable portion 60.

In the rest position, each auxiliary rib 90 extends abutting the distal side 69 of the additional opening 66 to form a stop for movement of the pushing member 50.

Alternatively, the stop is formed by contact between the at least one rib (88, 90) and the edge (98) of the dressing body (52).

In the retracted position, the second end 76 of the pushing member 50 is offset relative to the second end 96 of the dressing body 52 in the direction of the first end 94 of the dressing body 52.

In the retracted position, each tab 86 exerts a force on the corresponding deformable portion 60. In particular, the tab extends in contact with the inner surface of its deformable portion 60 to exert a radial force outward. The deformable part is deformed in the separate position.

In the retracted position, at least one rib, in this case each main rib 88, is deformed by applying a force to the actuation elastic member 70. In particular, the main rib 88 is pressed against the member 70 along the longitudinal direction at the free end of the tongue to reduce the angle formed between the tongue and the circumferential side 72.

The elastic member 70 for operation exerts an opposite force to displace the pushing member 50 to the rest position. Thus, the actuating elastic member 70 is an elastic member for actuating the pushing member in its rest configuration.

The auxiliary rib 90 presses the proximal side 71 of the additional opening 66 to form a stop against movement of the pushing member 50. Thereby, in particular, so as not to damage the elastic member 70 for operation, it is possible to limit the force applied to the elastic member 70 for operation by the main rib 88.

The additional dressing 18 is similar to the dressing 16 for the second part 14, replacing the mutual cooperation with the first part 12 with the mutual cooperation with the second part 14, so that the dressing 16 The description given for) also applies to the additional dressing 18.

Thus, the additional dressing 18 is provided at an engaging position in which the additional dressing 18 at least partially covers the second part 14, and the additional dressing 18 from the first part 12 and the second part 14. It can move between separate free positions.

The displacement of the additional dressing 18 between the mating position and the free position is carried out by translational movement of the additional dressing 18 taking place from the second end 38 of the second part 14 around the second end 14 do.

The invention also relates to a kit comprising a cosmetic application device 10 and a refill according to any one of the claims as described above.

The refill comprises a first additional portion similar to the first portion 12.

The dressing 16 can be displaced between an engaging position in which the dressing 16 at least partially covers the first additional portion and a free position in which the dressing 16 is separated from the first additional portion, the engaging position and the free position The displacement between them is carried out with a translational movement of the dressing 16 along the longitudinal direction around the first additional part from the second end of the first additional part.

By this refill, for example, the first part 12 can be replaced without replacing the dressing 16. In this way, in particular, the amount of waste due to replacement can be reduced.

Additionally or alternatively, the refill comprises a second additional part similar to the second part 14, and the additional dressing 18 is along the longitudinal direction from the second end of the second additional part around the second additional part. With the translational movement of the additional dressing 18 taking place, it can be displaced between the free position and the engaging position that engages the second additional part.

Thereby, similarly, it is possible to replace the second part 14 without replacing the additional dressing 18.

The first additional part and the second additional part delimit the interior space containing the cosmetic product.
