Definitions
- the present invention essentially relates to a device for closing a device for applying a more or less viscous liquid product, such as for example nail varnish.
- Applicator devices are already known which are provided with an applicator brush in contact with a product contained in a reservoir and which, in general, can be closed off by a plug, the mounting of which on the body of the device and the dismantling respectively control the deactivation or in the retracted position of the applicator brush and its commissioning or in the exit and use position.
- the plug directly actuates the applicator brush when the container is closed or opened in order to carry out its retraction or its commissioning, respectively.
- the assembly and disassembly of the cap can, in the long run, deteriorate the brush, or at the very least, alter its qualities of finesse.
- the object of the present invention is to remedy the above drawbacks in particular by proposing a closure device which does not, in any case, risk damaging the applicator brush on closing and the opening of the container and which, moreover, allows a secure and positive closure which prevents the accidental exit of the liquid contained in the reservoir and remaining in contact with the applicator brush.
- the subject of the invention is a device for closing a device for applying any more or less viscous liquid product which is equipped with an applicator brush in contact with the product contained in a reservoir and which can be closed by a plug, the mounting of which on the body of the device and the dismantling respectively control the deactivation or in the retracted position of the applicator brush and the commissioning or in the position of exit and use of this applicator brush, characterized in that that said plug, when closing the body, actuates a sheath or the like mounted movably in said body so as to retract in this sheath the applicator brush housed inside the sheath and mounted fixedly in the body and, at opening the body, actuates said sheath in the opposite direction to disengage the applicator brush from the sheath and thus allow its use after separation of the plug from the body of the device.
- the plug does not risk damaging the applicator brush, since it will act only on a movable sheath making it possible to completely hide the brush or else to put it in the position of use or out of the sheath.
- the stopper comprises a part cooperating by screwing with the movable sheath and a part cooperating by abutment with the body of the container, to produce, during the screwing, retraction in the sheath of the applicator brush which thus remains in intimate contact with the liquid product contained in the reservoir.
- the plug is internally provided with a spring with which is associated a ring which the brush can pass through and cooperating with an orifice forming a seat in the sheath, from the start of mounting or screwing the plug. on said sheath.
- the invention also relates to an applicator device which can be used with a closure device corresponding to one or the other of the above characteristics, and characterized in that the sheath is on the one hand mounted with leaktight sliding on a part of the reservoir to remain in permanent communication therewith and is on the other hand slidably mounted without rotation in the body.
- the spring surrounding a rod or the like housed in the sheath and connecting the valve to the body constantly urges the end of the sheath comprising the orifice forming a seat in abutment on said valve.
- the body of the device is associated with a push button provided with a leaf spring capable of cooperating with a shoulder of the sheath in order to actuate the latter in order to deliver liquid product to the applicator brush only when the cap is disconnected from the body.
- the body of the device may constitute a head which can be connected to the tank by any suitable means such as screwing.
- this body may form a single element comprising a reservoir surmounted by a tubular part comprising the sheath and all of its associated elements.
- the diameter of the above-mentioned tubular element is substantially equal to the diameter of the aforementioned orifice forming a seat which the brush can pass through, the diameter of which is very close to that of said orifice forming a seat.
- Figure 1 is an axial and partial sectional view (tank shown partially) of the applicator device shown in the ready-to-use position.
- Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 but on which the push button is actuated to deliver liquid product, such as nail polish, to the applicator brush.
- Figure 3 is a view similar to the previous figures, but showing the device at the start of obturation by means of a plug or cap according to the invention.
- Figure 4 is a view identical to Figure 3, but showing the plug or cap in the final closed position of the container.
- Figure 5 is an axial sectional view of an alternative cap.
- the cap 1 comprises two concentric tubular walls, namely an outer tubular wall or casing 4, and an inner tubular wall 5 having an external thread 5a or facing the wall 4.
- the movable sheath 3 also comprises two concentric tubular walls, namely on the one hand an external tubular wall 6 carrying an internal thread 6a and which can be inserted in the space between the tubular walls 4 and 5 of the cap 1 so that the thread 6a comes into engagement with the thread 5a, and on the other hand an internal tubular wall 7 capable of finding a place inside the plug 1 in a housing 8, this housing being defined by the wall internal and threaded tubular 5 of said plug, as can be seen in FIGS. 3 and 4.
- the sleeve 3 is mounted sliding without rotation in the body 2, and for this purpose, it comprises a lug or the like 8a cooperating with a groove or other similar means 29 provided on the internal periphery of the body 2.
- the sleeve 3 comprises a part d 'end 3a mounted in leaktight sliding on a tubular element 9 integral with the body 2 and extending in a way the tank R, so that the sheath 3 is in permanent communication with said tank.
- An elastic ring or the like has been shown at 10 tightly sealing the end portion 3a of the sleeve 3 while allowing said sleeve to slide along the extension tubular 9.
- the sheath 3 has an opposite end 3b provided with an orifice 11 forming a seat for a valve 12 equipped with an applicator brush 13 which can pass through the orifice 11.
- the part 12 forming a valve is housed inside the movable sheath 3 and is integral with the body 2 of the container by means of a rod or other similar means 14. It can be seen that this rod is fixed at 15 to part of the body 2 of the container and is located substantially on the axis of the tubular extension 9 and of the sleeve 3. Thus, the position of the valve 12 and therefore of the applicator brush 13 in the body 2 of the container is fixed, and this is, as we as will be seen below, the sheath 3 which moves relative to this valve during the screwing or unscrewing of the cap 1 to put the applicator brush 13 out of service or in service.
- a push button 17 projecting from said body and provided with a leaf spring 18, one end 18a of which is secured to the body 2 and the other end of which 18b can actuate the sheath 3 under the effect of 'A pressure applied to said push button 17, as will be explained in detail below.
- the tank R shown partially in the figures, can be connected removably or not, by any suitable means, to the body 2. Also, without departing from the scope of the invention, this tank R could be integral with the body 2, that is to say constitute a part of this body.
- the plug 1 is internally provided with a spring 19 which retains a ring 20 which can slide in the housing 8 previously mentioned and defined by the internal tubular and threaded wall 5 of the plug.
- the spring 16 biases the sheath 3 in the direction of the reservoir R, so that the orifice 11 is closed by the valve 12 carrying the applicator brush 13 which protrudes from said orifice.
- the end 18b of the leaf spring 18 of the push button 17 bears on the sheath 3, or more precisely on a shoulder 3c that this sheath forms at the lug 8a.
- the plug or cap 1 can be screwed by its internal tubular and threaded part 5 on the sheath 3, that is to say more precisely on the external tubular part and threaded 6 of this sheath.
- the external tubular part 4 of the cap 1 will bear on the end 2a of the body 2 of the device.
- the sleeve 3 will be attracted, by screwing, towards the inside of the cap 1, while the valve 12 will remain immobile, since it is fixed by the rod 14 on the body 2.
- cap 1 can in no case damage the applicator brush 13 which, in a way, will withdraw into the sheath 3 as the cap is screwed.
- a device for closing off an applicator device which avoids any possible damage to the applicator brush when the device is opened and closed, which provides security for the accidental delivery of product when the container is closed, and which prevents any drying out of the applicator brush when the device is closed since said brush will bathe in the liquid contained in the sheath in permanent communication with the reservoir.
- the material constituting the body of the container and the stopper may be any, that the cooperating forms of the stopper and of the sheath may be other than those shown, and that the means of actuation of the sheath by the push button could be other than a leaf spring. Also, the sheath cooperating with the plug could be connected to the tank in a manner other than that shown.
