  • the present invention is aimed at providing a holder of the above described type of the protecting moulding cap of which is adapted to be ejected under the effect of the first motion of the stick holding cup towards the open end of the holder, without it being necessary to effect the above-mentioned subsequent backwardly directed motion of said cup.
  • the holder according to the present invention which is characterized in that the open stick outlet end of the holder is provided at least one inner projection having an inner radius smaller than that of the tubular body of the inner sleeve, the protecting moulding cap having an outer radius slightly smaller than the inner radius of said inner projection, the open end of said cap which is placed upon the stick holding cup being provided with at least one outer projection having an outer radius slightly smaller than said inner radius of the inner sleeve body, said protecting moulding cap being constituted by at least two juxtaposed segments defined by at least two longitudinal slits provided in the wall of said cap, whereby said segments are separated from each other and fall off when upon the first outwardly directed motion of said stick holding cup said outer projection of the moulding cap engages the corresponding inner projection of said outlet end of the holder.
  • the user of the holder need not effect the above-mentioned slight backward motion of the stick holding cup when using the holder for the first time, with a view to ejecting the protecting moulding cap, after having moved said cup into its extreme position adjacent the holder outlet end. Furthermore, the construction according to the invention prevents the user from removing the moulding cap from the stick, such removal bringing along a risk of scratching or even breaking the stick of pasty material.
  • FIG. 1 shows a closed stick holder, in a longitudinal section.
  • FIG. 2 shows the stick holder of FIG. 1 during the process of moving a stick outwardly with a view to ejecting the protecting moulding cap.
  • FIG. 3 shows the upper portion of the holder at the time of the ejection of the moulding cap, the segments constituting the latter being separated, just prior to falling off from the holder, and
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line IVlV in FIG. 1.
  • the stick holder shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 essentially comprises two coaxial cylindrical sleeves l, 2, a cylindrical cup 3 movable within the inner sleeve 1 and adapted to support a stick 4 made of a pasty product which, in the example shown, is a lipstick; the holder further comprises a transparent moulding cap 5 protecting the above-mentioned stick.
  • Sleeve 1 is arranged within sleeve 2 and is capable of rotative motion relative to the latter.
  • the two sleeves are maintained in their relative position by two shoulders 6, 7 provided on the outer sleeve 2 and engaging the inner sleeve.
  • shoulder 7 has an extension which forms an actuating button 8 allowing the two sleeves which are mounted with a gentle frictional mutual engagement to be rotated relative to each other.
  • Stick holding cup 3 has at least one lug 11; in the embodiment shown said cup has two diametrically opposed lugs extending each through a longitudinal slot 13 provided in the wall of inner sleeve 1, and engaging each in a helical slot 14 provided in the wall of outer sleeve 2; due to this arrangement cup 3 is axially displaced when the two sleeves are rotated with respect to each other.
  • the stick outlet end of the holder which in the example shown is the open end of inner sleeve 1, is provided with an inner bead 17 having a diameter D1 smaller than the inner diameter D2 of the inner sleeve. Furthermore, the annular inner surface of this bead preferably has a substantial frusto-conical shape as indicated by angle a in FIG. 1.
  • the protective moulding cap 5 has an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter D1 of bead l7 and its open end which is mounted upon cup 3 has two projections l9, 19' in the shape of lugs the outer radius of which is slightly smaller than the inner radius D2 of inner sleeve 1.
  • the open end of the latter is telescopically mounted on a portion 22 of cup 3 having a reduced diameter.
  • the reduced diameter portion 22 has a diameter equal to inner diameter D3 of cap 5 which arrangement facilitates the ejection of said cap.
  • the open end of cap 5 also has an enlarged inner portion 23 having an axial length smaller than that of the reduced diameter portion 22 of cup 3.
  • Moulding cap is slit over its entire length so as to be divided into at least two juxtaposed segments.

  • edges of the end of each cap segment which is located adjacent cup 3 have a bevelled configuration as indicated by reference numeral 27'.
  • Holders of the type considered are often provided with a decorative metallic tube 31 over which a tubular cover (not shown) may be adapted to be removably teiescoped.
  • the bottom of actuating button 8 has a central opening 32 through which the matter constituting stick 26 is injected with a view to moulding said stick in situ within moulding cap 5 and cup 3 during the process of manufacturing the complete assembly of holder and stick.
  • the actuating button may be covered by a closing cap (not shown) which covers opening 32.
  • the holder Prior to the first utilization the holder has the aspect shown in FIG. 1 wherein a moulding cap 5 covers and protects the lipstick 26.
  • button 8 When using the holder for the first time button 8 is rotated relative the outer sleeve 2 which, in a manner known per se, causes cup 3 to be displaced in the direction of arrow f (FIG. 2) and consequently causes stick 4 and moulding cap 5 to be moved out of the holder.
  • each segment pivots in the direction of arrow fl (FIG. 3), about the edge formed by the open end of the portion of moulding cap 5 having the diameter D3.
  • the bevelled portions 27 eliminate any possible obstacle which might oppose the outwardly pivoting motion of the cap segments.
  • the number of the segments constituting the protecting moulding cap may be greater than 2; the projections of the segments constituting said cap may form a continuous collar-shaped portion, while the bead provided on the inner sleeve may be replaced by separate projections in a number equal to that of the segments and positioned in front of the respective locations of the medium portions of the latter at the time of the ejection of said segments.
  • the holder may be of the slide type comprising a single sleeve having at least one longitudinal slot through which extends a lug of the stick holding cup, the open end of such a holder comprising at least one restrained portion constituting a projection for causing the segments of the moulding cap to be ejected; also the segments constituting the moulding cap may be interlocked and/or hinged to each other so as to provide for a better seal during the moulding of the stick; the separation and ejection of such segments may be obtained by the cooperation of only of said segments with the projec tion provided at the holder open end.
