Definitions

  • the open end of the dome has a counterbore to fit over the upper end of the carrier and is also provided with longitudinal slits that define between them flexible tongues of which at least part of the inside faces project inwards from the remainder of the counterbore but only to an extent not greater than the depth of the counterbore.
  • the invention relates to containers for paste-like materials in the form of sticks, such as make-up, lipstick, other cosmetics, pharmaceutical and vetinerary products and the like, of the kind comprising two coaxial sleeves which are capable of relative rotation, a stick-carrier or godet which is movable within the inner sleeve and which has at least one pin projecting through a slot in the inner sleeve to engage also in a slot in the outer sleeve, one of these slots extending longitudinally and the other helically, and a dome for protecting the stick, of substantially the same outside diameter as the stick-carrier or godet and fitting on one end of the stick-carrier.
  • the aim of the invention is to provide a container for lipstick and other paste-like materials of the kind in question which avoids the drawbacks of the arrangement described above.
  • the dome or ogive that protects the stick and fits on the stick carrier or godet has, on the one hand, a counterbore coaxial with the main bore of the dome but of larger diameter and, on the other hand, pairs of longitudinal slits defining between them spaced flexible tongues each of which has, over at least a part of its length, an internal longitudinal projection of which the thickness in a radial direction is not greater than the radial depth of the counterbore.
  • the very small projections which are present at the open end of the dome have no tendency to score the stick during ejection of the dome since their tips lie on a pitch circle of diameter which is at least equal to the interior diameter of the dome.
  • the ejection of the dome occurs in a direction which is truly coaxial with that of the stick as the dome is maintained at several evenly spaced points on its periphery in contact with the face of the end of the sleeve in question.
  • the corresponding end of the one of the said members has an inwardly directed flange or shoulder for ejecting the dome.
  • the dome when first used, the dome then emerges completely from the sleeves of the container and it is always automatically ejected.
  • the inner sleeve has a bore of which the diameter is substantially equal to that of the dome and terminates in a counterbore of slightly greater diameter corresponding substantially to the external diameter of the flexible tongues on the dome.
  • the diameter of the counterbore is very slightly greater or smaller than the external diameter of the dome, the latter can fall away freely when one retracts the stick carrier or equally well, it could be lightly frictionally retained within the container for subsequent easy removal by hand.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates in longitudinal section a first embodiment of a container according to the invention, the container being shown closed;
  • FIG. 2 is a section through the dome or ogive alone
  • FIG. 3 shows a detail from FIG. 1 to a larger scale
  • FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 illustrate successive phases in the ejection of the dome or ogive
  • FIG. 7 shows a detail from FIG. 1 to a larger scale
  • FIG. 8 is a longitudinal section through a second embodiment of a container according to the invention, the stick being shown projected;
  • FIG. 9 is an exploded view of the container of FIG. 8;
  • FIG. 10 is a section through the dome or ogive alone
  • FIG. 11 shows, to a larger scale, a partial section on the line XI-XI in FIG. 10;
  • FIG. 12 is a plan view to a larger scale of the stick carrier or godet alone.
  • FIG. 13 is a section on the line XIII-XIII in FIG. 12.
  • the container for paste-like materials in stick form for example lipsticks, which is shown as a whole in FIG. 1, comprises essentially a stick carrier or godet 1 serving as a carrier for a lipstick enclosed in a protective dome 3, commonly known as an ogive, an inner sleeve 4, an outer sleeve 5, a tubular metal casing 6 and usually a cover 7, the base of the inner sleeve 4 being often itself mounted, as in the case illustrated, on a base cap 8 of a diameter corresponding to that of the cover 7.
  • the stick carrier or godet l is provided with two radial pins, such as 12, diametrically opposed and extending through longitudinal slots 14 in the inner sleeve 4 to engage at the same time in two helical slots 16a, 17 formed in the inner cylindrical surface of the outer sleeve 5.
  • the inner sleeve 4 has an extension 23 forming a base cap by which it can be rotated with respect to the outer sleeve and thereby cause a corresponding axial sliding motion of the stick carrier or godet 1 within the sleeves.
  • the metal casing 6 fits onto the outer sleeve 5 with a certain amount of friction, preferably only slight so as not to distort the sleeve 5 and so as not to risk jamming the mechanism.
  • the casing 6 is also positively held on the outer sleeve 5 by means of a tongue 26 (see also FIG. 7) of which the point, projecting inwards, comes into engagement with part of the external surface of the outer sleeve 5 on a diameter slightly less than the bore of the casing.
  • the outer sleeve 5 comprises, for this purpose, a central part which, extending over a length L, has an outside diameter equal to the inside diameter of the tubular body 6 whereas the two parts which lie on each side of this central part are of slightly smaller diameter.
  • the tongue engaging against the sleeve at a portion of smaller diameter consequently does not produce local distortions of this sleeve such as might hinder smooth functioning of the mechanism.
  • the dome or ogive 3 for protecting the lipstick 3 has a number of features which are revealed clearly by FIG. 2.
  • the upper part of this dome is, at least in one diametral plane, of ogival shape as shown at 31.
  • the main part 32 of the dome is of cylindrical shape and its outside diameter is substantially equal to the inside diameter of the inner sleeve 4 so as to be able to slide easily inside the latter.
  • the adjacent part of the open end of the dome has, in the free condition, a diameter very slightly less than that of the main part of the dome so as to improve the functioning of the mechanism for ejecting the dome on first use.
  • the open end of the dome 3 has a counterbore 35 of which the axial length is not greater than the axial length of a reduced portion 36 on the upper end of the stick carrier or godet 1 onto which the domeis fitted.
  • This reduced portion 36 ends in a short frusto-conical portion 37.
  • each tongue 42 has a longitudinal inwardly extending projection 44 of which the thickness in a radial direction is equal, at the most, to the radial depth of the counterbore 35 and preferably is equal to the latter.
  • the inner faces of the projections 44 on the tongues simply form smooth cylindrical will downward continuations of the inner cylindrical surface of the dome above the counterbore 35.
  • the open end of the inner sleeve 4, through which the lipstick emerges, has an inwardly directed flange 47 (FIGS. 1 and 3) of which the inside diameter is slightly smaller than the diameter of the pitch circle on which lie the tips of the tongues 42, these tongues being lightly urged outwards by the radial pressure exercised by the frusto-conical end of the carrier or godet 1, exerted radially outwards against the inside faces of the projections 44 on the tongues.
  • inwardly directed flange 47 could instead be on the corresponding end of the metal casing 6, or equally well on the end of the outer sleeve, being suitably shaped to fit over the end of the inner sleeve.
  • the tongues 42 of the dome or ogive are lightly urged outwards by the frusto-conical part 37 of the corresponding end of the stick carrier or godet 1 onto which the dome fits.
  • this dome only bears in practice with the tips of its three tongues 42 lightly against the inside cylindrical surface of the inner sleeve 4.
  • the tips of the tongues lie clear of the portion 36 of the stick carrier or godet of a diameter a little less than the maximum diameter of the frusto-conical portion 37, in such a way that they can deflect slightly inwards so as to improve still further the smoothness of operation of the mechanism.
  • the three tongues 42 on the dome keep it fully in line with the lipstick during retraction of the latter so that the ogive is ejected without rubbing against the lipstick and consequently without scoring it.
  • FIGS. 8 to 13 is shown a second embodiment and the parts which correspond to those of the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 7 are identified by the same reference numerals increased by a hundred, for ease in understanding the description.
  • This container comprises a stick carrier or godet 101 for the lipstick 102 protected by a dome or ogive 103, an inner sleeve 104, an outer sleeve 105, a base cap or button 108, a cover screwthreaded to match a corresponding thread on the inner sleeve I04.
  • Pins 112-on the carrier or godet 101 engage longitudinal slots 1 14 in the inner sleeve and helical slots, such as 116, in the outer sleeve.
  • the two axial locating shoulders on the inner sleeve are indicated at 121 and 122.
  • the base cap 108 has on it keying splines 120 into which the corresponding end of the inner sleeve 104 is forced.
  • the sleeve 103 also has equally spaced tongues 142 each having an inwardly projecting boss or projection 144 (see also FIG. 11) and, in the example illustrated the reduced end of the cup or godet 101, on which is received the dome 103 for protecting the lipstick, has longitudinally extending external grooves 130 which do not break through into the inner face of the carrier but which confer on it a degree of elasticity.
  • the projections 144 are in the form of pips rather than smooth longitudinally extending faces, but the moulding presents no problems in view of the flexibility of the tongues 142 on which the pips are formed.
  • the radial height or thickness of the pips is not greater than, and is preferably equal to, the radial depth of the counterbore in which the tongues are formed.
  • the outer end of the inner sleeve 104 has a counterbore 140 defining an annular shoulder 140A. Two cases can be considered:
  • the inside diameter D of the counterbore 140 at the end of the inner sleeve 104 is greater than the diameter of the pitch circle on which lie the tips of the tongues 142 of the dome 103.
  • the user proceeds as indicated above with reference to the first embodiment and when the lipstick has been caused to project to its maximum extent the lower end of the dome 103 has come to a position opposite the counterbore 140 so that the tongues 142 of the dome, being expanded, no longer retain the dome, which can thus fall away as the container. is operated in the reverse direction.
  • the inside diameter D of the counterbore 140 of the inner sleeve is slightly less than the diameter of the pitch circle on which lie the tips of the tongues 142 of the protective dome.
  • the dome is held in place by the friction of these tongues against the wall of the counterbore 140 of the inner sleeve. It does not then fall away of its own accord but it can easily be grasped by the user and it is only necessary to overcome the very light frictional forces that hold the tongues 142 in the sleeve.
  • the dome or ogive could be ejected by it engaging against the end of theouter sleeve, appropriately shaped for this purpose, or against the end of the metal casing 6.
  • the tongue 26 helps the casing 6 to retain its axial position on the outer sleeve.
  • a container for paste-like materials in stick form comprising inner and outer sleeves of moulded plastics which are capable of relative rotation, a stick carrier movable within said inner sleeve and having thereon at least one pin projecting through a slot in said inner sleeve to engage also a slot in said outer sleeve, one of said slots extending longitudinally and the other helically, and a removable stick-protecting dome of substantially the same outside diameter as said stick carrier and having an open end by which it fits onto said stick carrier, said dome having a counterbore at said open end and longitudinal slits in the counterbored open end portion, defining between them spaced flexible tongues, the improvement which consists in the provision of a projection on the inside surface of each one of said tongues, each projection having a radial thickness not greater than the radial depth of said counterbore, said projections acting frictionally to engage said stick carrier at spaced points prior to removal of said dome from said container and acting to facilitate removal of said dome from said container.
  • said dome tits is of tapered shape.
