  • One of the flanges which rests on the edge I6 is provided with a bent portion 22.
  • the vertical plane formed by the web of the T and designated by 23 serves as a guide for a buffer 24 formed on the shifting tube 4, the buffer running along the left side of the web while running downwardly and along its right side while running upwardly to push out the stick, as will be explained later on.
  • a notch is provided at 25 for the passage of the bufier 24 from the left to the right and conversely.
  • the upper right flange of the bridge 3 is extended and folded up at 26 and is formed with a small groove 21 which retains a pin 28 on the stick-holder at the bottom 5 of the case I when 29 is also provided for the passage of the pin 28 longitudinally away from the small groove 21.
  • the shifting tube 4 ( Figure 5), fast with the base 5, is provided with a longitudinal groove 30 terminating at its upper end in a right angle part 3! extending from the right to the left.
  • the buffer 24 which, as viewed from the outside and diametrically of the tube 4, is of V or inverted V shape, and thus is rigid with respect to the'tube 4.
  • the buffer 24 may be formed of two flaps 24 and 24 bent outwardly to meet each other as shown in Figure 13, thus forming the V.
  • the buffer 24 strikes through its lower part against the bottom 5'-of the case, and prevents the tube 4 from moving completely out of the cover l.
  • the shifting tube 4 contains the socket 6 in which the lip-stick is held; the said socket is provided at its lower end with the driving pin 28 which slides in the groove 30 of the shifting tube. Approximately in the upper third of the socket is a circular indentation 33 which holds the lip-stick fast.
  • the closing flap 1 shown in Figures 6 and 7 is curved in order to slide under the curved plane of the opening I2 and ends in its upper part in a half circumference 1' perfectly fitting the halfcylindrical surface of the case.
  • Its base is provided with a hinge 34 which substantially extends along a quarter of the length of the said base and lies immediately on the left of the axis.
  • the hinge 34 is pivotally connected with the corresponding hinge 35 which is also rolled up and is part of another piece 36 forming a link comprising a hook 31, a guide 38 and a spring 39 terminating in an end part shaped correspond- 4 ingly to the curvilinear part 22 of the guiding bridge 3.
  • the buffer 24 occupies the position shown in Figure 21 and in dotted lines at 24' in Figure 11, and rises along the right side of the web 23 of the guiding bridge 3. Furthermore, the pin'2B moves into the position indicated in dotted lines at 28 in Figure 11, and glides along the right leg l5 of the slide 2 which works'as a brake. Consequently the stickholder socket 6 cannot becomedisconnected from the shifting tube 4 and cause a wrong movement.
  • v 1 In .a lip-stick lease, a cover :having at mine end an opening for the passage -;of :the stick; a tube mounted to slide to an inner position within said covera'nd to an outer position in which it projects partially out of the vother end of the cover; ;a stick-holding socket .mounted 'to' rotate and. to.
