A transversal side (11A) of the unit (11) flushes an annular end (12B) of the unit (12) in the minimum withdrawal configuration. The side (11A) is in a projection relative to the end (12B), at a distance greater than the axial sinking course of the device (16) in the maximum withdrawal configuration.

Description

L'invention concerne un conteneur pour produit cosmétique liquide, solide, pâteux ou pulvérulent comportant un élément d'application qui est engagé, en dehors des périodes d'application du produit, dans un élément tubulaire de stockage ; elle s'applique notamment, mais non exclusivement, aux étuis de rouge à lèvres et aux flacons de mascara, ainsi qu'aux flacons de gloss, aux boîtiers de fond de teint, de fond à paupières ou à joues, voire aux flacons de vernis à ongles.The invention relates to a container for a liquid, solid, pasty or powdery cosmetic product comprising an applicator element which is engaged, outside the periods of application of the product, in a tubular storage element; it applies in particular, but not exclusively, to lipstick cases and mascara bottles, as well as to gloss bottles, foundation boxes, eyeshadow or cheek cases, or even to nail polish bottles nail.

Les conteneurs de rouge à lèvres comportent classiquement un élément d'application comportant un support portant un bâton de rouge à lèvres, un corps tubulaire (de section circulaire ou non) dans lequel le support peut se déplacer axialement, à volonté, en sorte de faire sortir le bâton ou au contraire de l'escamoter dans le corps tubulaire, ainsi qu'un élément tubulaire de stockage formé d'un capot ou capuchon coopérant avec le corps tubulaire pour enfermer et protéger le bâton lorsque l'utilisatrice n'en a pas besoin.The lipstick containers conventionally comprise an applicator element comprising a support carrying a stick of lipstick, a tubular body (of circular section or not) in which the support can move axially, at will, so as to make pulling out the stick or retracting it into the tubular body, and a tubular storage element formed by a hood or cap cooperating with the tubular body to enclose and protect the stick when the user does not have one need.

Diverses structures ont été proposées pour de tels conteneurs à rouge à lèvres, que l'on peut distinguer selon que la commande en mouvement du support est commandée directement ou indirectement.Various structures have been proposed for such lipstick containers, which can be distinguished according to whether the moving control of the support is controlled directly or indirectly.

Dans la catégorie des conteneurs à rouge à lèvres à commande directe du support, on peut mentionner ceux qui comportent un ressort comprimé entre le fond du corps tubulaire et le fond du support en sorte de solliciter en permanence le support vers l'extérieur du corps tubulaire, ce qui oblige à maîtriser l'effet de ce ressort. On peut citer à ce propos le document US - A - 2 486 960 qui décrit un support maintenu à friction dans un corps elliptique dont la force de serrage est réduite lors de chaque fermeture du capot, ce qui permet au ressort de faire avancer le support vers la sortie du corps tubulaire. On peut aussi citer le document FR - A - 1 011 995 , dans lequel le mouvement de translation du support est commandé par action directe sur une saillie latérale de ce support traversant une rainure ménagée dans la paroi du corps tubulaire, et sur laquelle le capot agit, dans le sens d'une rétraction à l'intérieur du corps tubulaire, lors de l'action de vissage de ce capot.In the category of lipstick containers with direct control of the support, mention may be made of those comprising a compressed spring between the bottom of the tubular body and the bottom of the support so as to permanently urge the support towards the outside of the tubular body , which forces to control the effect of this spring. In this regard, the document US - A - 2,486,960 which describes a support held in friction in a body elliptical whose clamping force is reduced during each closing of the cover, allowing the spring to advance the support towards the outlet of the tubular body. We can also mention the document FR - A - 1,011,995 , in which the translation movement of the support is controlled by direct action on a lateral projection of this support passing through a groove formed in the wall of the tubular body, and on which the cover acts, in the direction of a retraction inside. of the tubular body, during the action of screwing this cover.

En variante, la commande directe par action sur une saillie latérale est réalisée sans intervention d'un ressort, ainsi que l'enseigne notamment le document US - A - 3 954 114 (dans lequel un couvercle doit être ouvert en synchronisme avec la translation du bâton), ou le document US - A - 4182945 .Alternatively, the direct control action on a side projection is performed without intervention of a spring, as well as the sign including the document US - A - 3,954,114 (in which a lid must be open in synchronism with the translation of the stick), or the document US - A - 4182945 .

Au lieu d'une saillie latérale solidaire du support, le document US - A - 3 989 392 propose une molette d'axe fixe, accessible de l'extérieur au travers d'une ouverture dans la paroi du corps, et coopérant avec une crémaillère solidaire du support.Instead of a lateral projection secured to the support, the document US - A - 3,989,392 proposes a fixed axis wheel, accessible from the outside through an opening in the wall of the body, and cooperating with a rack secured to the support.

Ces solutions avec une saillie latérale qui se déplace longitudinalement ou une molette ont notamment comme inconvénient qu'elles n'offrent aucune protection contre une manoeuvre intempestive, par exemple du fait de l'accrochage de la saillie ou de la molette à un quelconque objet adjacent à l'intérieur d'un sac ou d'une poche.These solutions with a longitudinal protrusion that moves longitudinally or a wheel have the particular disadvantage that they offer no protection against inadvertent operation, for example because of the attachment of the projection or the wheel to any adjacent object inside a bag or pocket.

Un autre principe de commande directe du mouvement du bâton est décrit dans le document US - A - 4 621 935 , dans lequel la sortie du bâton est commandée par appui direct sur le fond du support du bâton, au travers d'un trou ménagé au fond du corps tubulaire, ce qui impose que celui-ci soit de grande section, pour éviter que l'utilisatrice n'ait à utiliser un outil en fin de vie du bâton. On peut noter que rien n'est prévu pour commander la rétraction du bâton dans le corps tubulaire de sorte que le bâton vient en permanence en saillie vis-à-vis de celui-ci ; par ailleurs, l'ouverture du fond du corps tubulaire présente le double inconvénient de ne pas être particulièrement esthétique et de constituer un piège à poussière et autres déchets.Another principle of direct control of the movement of the stick is described in the document US - A - 4,621,935 , in which the output of the stick is controlled by direct support on the bottom of the support of the stick, through a hole in the bottom of the tubular body, which requires that it is of large section, to prevent the user has to use a tool at the end of the stick's life. It may be noted that nothing is provided to control the retraction of the stick in the tubular body so that the stick permanently protrudes from it; Moreover, opening the bottom of the tubular body has the double disadvantage of not being particularly aesthetic and to constitute a trap for dust and other waste.

Dans le cas, plus fréquent actuellement, d'une commande indirecte du mouvement du bâton, le corps tubulaire, parfois appelé cartouche, comporte une paroi et une base mobile dont la rotation vis-à-vis de la paroi commande, grâce à des nervures de guidage appropriées, le mouvement de translation axiale du support et du bâton à l'intérieur de cette paroi. Pour en faciliter la manipulation par l'utilisatrice, cette base est en pratique élargie par rapport à la paroi et c'est contre la tranche annulaire reliant cette base à la paroi que vient buter la tranche libre du capot lorsque ce dernier est engagé en position de fermeture, coiffant ce corps tubulaire.In the more current case of indirect control of the movement of the stick, the tubular body, sometimes called a cartridge, comprises a wall and a movable base whose rotation with respect to the wall controls, thanks to ribs of appropriate guidance, the axial translation movement of the support and the stick inside this wall. To facilitate handling by the user, this base is in practice widened with respect to the wall and it is against the annular edge connecting the base to the wall that abuts the free edge of the cover when the latter is engaged in position closure, styling this tubular body.

On peut à cet égard se référer, notamment, aux documents GB - 834 486 ou US - A - 3 515 493 , voire, plus récemment, le document EP - A 1 293 146 .In this respect reference may be made in particular to documents GB - 834,486 or US - A - 3,515,493 , or, more recently, the document EP - A 1,293,146 .

De manière générale, les conteneurs à commande indirecte impliquent que la base élargie du corps tubulaire reste à l'extérieur du capot, de manière à rester accessible à l'utilisatrice, ce qui laisse subsister le risque qu'il y ait une séparation intempestive entre le capot et cette base. Pour éviter ce risque et assurer une fermeture efficace du capot sur le corps tubulaire, il est classique de prévoir un verrouillage de ce capot, soit par vissage, soit par un effet de clipsage ; mais l'ouverture du conteneur exige alors des mouvements combinés de l'utilisatrice. Dans le cas du document GB - 834 486 précité, on peut noter que celui-ci fait intervenir un capot complètement fermé par un couvercle dont la mise en place empêche que le corps tubulaire ne vienne en saillie sous l'action d'un ressort de compression ; le corps tubulaire est complètement masqué par le capot et son couvercle, ce qui le protège vis-à-vis de toute action extérieure, mais le risque d'une manoeuvre intempestive subsiste puisque le couvercle peut s'ouvrir par erreur.In general, the indirect control containers imply that the enlarged base of the tubular body remains outside the hood, so as to remain accessible to the user, which leaves the risk of an inadvertent separation between the hood and this base. To avoid this risk and ensure effective closure of the cover on the tubular body, it is conventional to provide a locking of this cover, either by screwing or by a clipping effect; but the opening of the container then requires combined movements of the user. In the case of the document GB - 834,486 mentioned above, it involves a hood completely closed by a cover whose establishment prevents the tubular body comes protruding under the action of a compression spring; the tubular body is completely hidden by the cover and its cover, which protects it vis-à-vis any external action, but the risk of inadvertent operation remains since the cover can open by mistake.

Une manière de définir ce en quoi différent les flacons à mascara vis-à-vis des étuis à rouge à lèvres consiste à dire que, alors que, dans le cas des étuis à rouge à lèvres le produit à appliquer, solide, est contenu dans l'élément applicateur, le produit à appliquer, dans le cas des flacons à mascara, est liquide et contenu dans l'élément tubulaire dans lequel pénètre l'élément applicateur en configuration hors service. Plus précisément, l'élément tubulaire comporte classiquement un essoreur qui retient l'excès de produit qui est prélevé par l'applicateur lors de sa plongée dans le produit liquide.One way of defining what makes mascara bottles different from lipstick cases is to say that, while in the case of lipstick cases the product to be applied, solid, is contained in the applicator element, the product to be applied, in the case of mascara bottles, is liquid and contained in the tubular element into which the applicator element enters in the out-of-service configuration. More specifically, the tubular element typically comprises a wiper that retains the excess product that is removed by the applicator during its dive into the liquid product.

Dans les flacons à mascara, l'élément applicateur comporte en pratique un capuchon sur lequel l'utilisatrice agit pour manipuler l'extrémité d'application de mascara. Par ailleurs, le fait que le mascara est liquide implique qu'une étanchéité efficace doit être réalisée en dehors des périodes d'application de mascara, lorsque le capuchon est engagé sur le col du flacon ; cette étanchéité est en pratique obtenue par une fermeture par vissage ou par clipsage du capuchon sur le col du flacon. Il en découle que le capuchon est un élément qui forme une partie substantielle de la surface extérieure d'un flacon à mascara en configuration fermée, et que des mouvements combinés ou des efforts significatifs peuvent devoir être effectués pour ouvrir le flacon avant une action d'application de mascara.In mascara bottles, the applicator element includes in practice a cap on which the user acts to manipulate the mascara application end. Furthermore, the fact that mascara is liquid means that effective sealing must be performed outside mascara application periods, when the cap is engaged on the neck of the bottle; this sealing is in practice obtained by a closure by screwing or clipping of the cap on the neck of the bottle. As a result, the cap is an element that forms a substantial part of the outer surface of a closed-set mascara bottle, and that combined movements or significant efforts may have to be made to open the bottle prior to an action. application of mascara.

D'autres configurations de flacons à mascara sont connues, par exemple par les documents GB - A - 2 132 883 ou US - A - 6 371 129 , dans lesquels l'applicateur est monté de manière escamotable dans l'élément tubulaire, en baignant complètement dans le produit, et soumis à l'action d'un ressort tendant à faire sortir l'extrémité d'application hors de cet élément tubulaire, ce qui présente notamment des inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus à propos des étuis à rouge à lèvres actionnés par ressort.Other configurations of mascara bottles are known, for example from the documents GB - A - 2 132 883 or US - A - 6,371,129,129 , in which the applicator is retractably mounted in the tubular element, completely immersed in the product, and subjected to the action of a spring tending to push the applicator end out of this tubular element, which has, in particular, the drawbacks mentioned above with regard to spring-operated lipstick cases.

L'analyse d'autres conteneurs connus pour produit cosmétique, tels que les gloss, les fonds de teint, les fards à paupière ou à joues, voire les vernis à ongles, conduit à identifier des inconvénients de même nature.The analysis of other known containers for cosmetic product, such as gloss, foundations, eyeshadows or cheeks, even nail polish, leads to identify disadvantages of the same nature.

L'invention a pour objet un conteneur pour un produit cosmétique solide, liquide, pâteux ou pulvérulent, comportant un élément d'application et un élément tubulaire de stockage adapté à recevoir cet élément d'application, qui soit à la fois simple et fiable d'usage sans risque significatif d'ouverture intempestive, tout en permettant une esthétique très épurée, et sans conduire à un encombrement rédhibitoire.The subject of the invention is a container for a solid, liquid, pasty or powdery cosmetic product, comprising an application element and a tubular storage element adapted to receive this application element, which is both simple and reliable. use without significant risk of inadvertent opening, while allowing a very refined aesthetic, and without leading to a crippling obstruction.

L'invention propose à cet effet un conteneur pour un produit cosmétique solide, liquide, pâteux ou pulvérulent, comportant, d'une part, un élément d'application de ce produit comportant une face transversale et, d'autre part, un élément tubulaire de stockage allongé selon une direction longitudinale et muni d'un fond et d'une extrémité annulaire, l'élément d'application étant monté dans l'élément tubulaire de stockage, cet élément d'application étant engagé à friction dans l'élément tubulaire de stockage, en appui contre une pièce mobile montée coulissante dans cet élément tubulaire et reliée à celui-ci par un dispositif élastiquement compressible, caractérisé en ce que ce dispositif élastiquement compressible est à deux configurations axiales de recul par rapport à une configuration axiale d'enfoncement, cette configuration axiale d'enfoncement correspondant à une configuration de l'élément d'application dans laquelle il est enfoncé vers ledit fond par poussée sur ladite face transversale et ces deux configurations axiales de recul étant stables et définissant respectivement une première configuration de l'élément d'application dans laquelle sa face transversale affleure l'extrémité annulaire de l'élément tubulaire et une seconde configuration dans laquelle cette face transversale est en saillie par rapport à cette extrémité annulaire de l'élément tubulaire, sur une distance donnée qui est sensiblement supérieure à la course axiale d'enfoncement du dispositif élastiquement compressible entre la première configuration axiale de recul et la configuration axiale d'enfoncement, le dispositif élastiquement compressible passant de l'une à l'autre des configurations axiales de recul par enfoncement de l'élément d'application jusqu'à amener ce dispositif élastiquement compressible à sa configuration axiale d'enfoncement, en ce que le dispositif élastiquement compressible comporte un ressort interposé axialement entre une première portée solidaire d'une piste de guidage fermée en forme de coeur, globalement située dans un plan parallèle à l'axe de l'élément tubulaire et une seconde portée solidaire d'un doigt suiveur transversal, destiné à suivre cette piste de guidage lors des mouvements relatifs entre ces portées, cette piste de guidage et ce doigt étant disposés axialement entre la pièce mobile et le fond de l'élément tubulaire de stockage dans le volume du ressort.The invention proposes for this purpose a container for a solid, liquid, pasty or powdery cosmetic product, comprising, on the one hand, an application element of this product comprising a transverse face and, on the other hand, on the other hand, a tubular storage element elongated in a longitudinal direction and provided with a bottom and an annular end, the applicator element being mounted in the tubular storage element, this application element being engaged in friction in the tubular storage element, bearing against a movable part slidably mounted in this tubular element and connected thereto by an elastically compressible device, characterized in that this elastically compressible device is in two axial recoil configurations with respect to an axial driving configuration, this axial driving configuration corresponding to a configuration of the application element in which it is pushed towards said bottom by pushing on said transverse face and these two axial recoil configurations being stable and respectively defining a first configuration of the application element in which its transverse face e is flush with the annular end of the tubular element and a second configuration in which this transverse surface is projecting with respect to this annular end of the tubular element, over a given distance which is substantially greater than the axial recess stroke. of the elastically compressible device between the first axial recoil configuration and the axial driving configuration, the elastically compressible device passing from one to the other axial recoil configurations by depressing the application element to bring this device elastically compressible to its axial insertion configuration, in that the elastically compressible device comprises a spring interposed axially between a first bearing integral with a closed guide track in the form of a core, generally located in a plane parallel to the axis of the tubular element and a second bearing secured to a follower pin t ransversal, intended to follow this guide track during relative movements between these bearings, this guide track and this finger being disposed axially between the movable part and the bottom of the tubular storage element in the volume of the spring.

On appréciera que le fait de prévoir que l'élément d'application puisse s'escamoter complètement dans l'élément tubulaire de stockage empêche toute extraction intempestive de cet élément par accrochage par un quelconque objet adjacent dans un sac à main ou dans une poche. Quant au risque d'enfoncement accidentel de l'élément d'application dans l'élément tubulaire, il est en pratique très faible ; en outre, si un tel enfoncement intempestif intervenait, le fait que l'élément d'application vienne en saillie en raison de la venue du dispositif élastiquement compressible en sa configuration de recul maximal ne suffit en aucune manière à faire apparaître un risque significatif d'extraction intempestive par un objet adjacent. Une protection efficace est ainsi obtenue contre les risques d'extraction de l'élément d'application hors de l'élément tubulaire de stockage. Pourtant cette extraction, lorsque l'utilisatrice la souhaite, est facile à obtenir puisqu'il suffit d'une légère poussée sur la tranche pour amener l'élément d'application en sa configuration en saillie à partir de laquelle l'extraction, par préhension de la base de l'élément d'application, est aisé ; il n'y a pas de mouvement nécessitant un effort significatif, comme avec une fermeture avec clipsage, ni de rotation.It will be appreciated that providing that the applicator element can retract completely into the tubular storage element prevents inadvertent extraction of this element by snagging by a any adjacent object in a purse or pocket. As for the risk of accidental depression of the applicator element in the tubular element, it is in practice very weak; in addition, if such an inadvertent depression occurs, the fact that the applicator element protrudes due to the coming of the elastically compressible device in its maximum recoil configuration is not sufficient in any way to reveal a significant risk of untimely extraction by an adjacent object. Effective protection is thus obtained against the risk of extraction of the application element out of the tubular storage element. However, this extraction, when the user wishes, is easy to obtain since it is sufficient for a slight thrust on the wafer to bring the application element into its projecting configuration from which the extraction by gripping from the base of the application element, is easy; there is no movement requiring significant effort, as with a clipping closure, or rotation.

Par ailleurs, dans la mesure où l'élément d'application est complètement escamoté dans l'élément tubulaire de stockage, l'apparence du conteneur n'est plus déterminée que par l'élément tubulaire (seule la face transversale libre de l'élément tubulaire est visible, sous réserve notamment que le conteneur ne soit pas posé sur une table ou autre support) et il est en particulier possible de lui donner un aspect très épuré, sans la moindre ligne de rupture le long de sa paroi latérale, ce qui donne une grande latitude pour décider de l'esthétique du conteneur, ce qui peut se révéler un argument de vente tout à fait significatif dans le domaine des cosmétiques.Moreover, insofar as the applicator element is completely retracted into the tubular storage element, the appearance of the container is determined only by the tubular element (only the free transverse face of the element tubular is visible, provided in particular that the container is not placed on a table or other support) and it is in particular possible to give it a very clean appearance, without the slightest line of rupture along its side wall, which gives a great deal of latitude to decide on the aesthetics of the container, which can be a very significant selling point in the field of cosmetics.

Pourtant, un tel escamotage pouvait sembler a priori incompatible avec le besoin de pouvoir extraire facilement l'élément d'application, lorsque cela est souhaité, par des gestes simples. Par ailleurs, il pouvait paraître paradoxal de commencer l'extraction d'un tel élément d'application par un mouvement d'enfoncement. En fait, on connaît déjà des dispositifs élastiquement compressibles à deux configurations axiales de recul, dans des domaines très éloignés de celui des cosmétiques et en-dehors de toute notion de montage affleurant notamment dans celui des stylos à bille rétractable, mais il y a alors le plus souvent une retenue mécanique interdisant l'échappement du pion sur lequel on agit à l'arrière de tels stylos à bille, ce qui pouvait dissuader l'homme de métier de s'intéresser à de tels mécanismes ; en outre, à supposer qu'il ait admis de s'y intéresser, il aurait très vraisemblablement estimé qu'un tel dispositif ne présentait pas, en l'absence d'une telle retenue mécanique, une fiabilité compatible avec les exigences de fiabilité, de solidité et de stabilité que l'on rencontre dans le domaine des cosmétiques. Au surplus, le souci habituel de tirer un parti maximum du volume disponible aurait conduit à dissuader l'homme de métier à s'intéresser à un tel dispositif qui implique de réduire la part utile du volume du conteneur pour loger un tel dispositif élastiquement compressible ; il est toutefois apparu qu'un tel dispositif pouvait être réalisé, sous la pièce mobile ou autour de celle-ci, dans un volume raisonnable par rapport à l'encombrement d'un conteneur de produit cosmétique et que la perte de volume utile pour loger un tel dispositif était tout à fait acceptable compte tenu des avantages obtenus en contrepartie, des points de vue sécurité, discrétion et fiabilité (voir supra, notamment).However, such a retraction could seem a priori incompatible with the need to be able to easily extract the application element, when desired, by simple gestures. Moreover, it could seem paradoxical to begin the extraction of such an application element by a driving movement. In fact, we already know elastically compressible devices with two axial recoil configurations, in areas far removed from that of cosmetics and apart from any notion of flush mounting including that of retractable ballpoint pens, but there is then usually a mechanical restraint prohibiting the escape of the pin on which one acts in the back of such ball pens, which could dissuade the skilled person to take an interest in such mechanisms; moreover, supposing that he admitted to be interested in it, he would very probably have considered that such a device did not present, in the absence of such mechanical restraint, reliability compatible with the requirements of reliability, strength and stability that we encounter in the field of cosmetics. Moreover, the usual concern to make maximum use of the available volume would have deterred the skilled person to be interested in such a device that involves reducing the useful part of the volume of the container to accommodate such an elastically compressible device; however, it has been found that such a device could be produced, under the moving part or around it, in a reasonable volume compared to the bulk of a container of cosmetic product and that the loss of volume useful for housing such a device was quite acceptable account the advantages obtained in return, from the points of view of security, discretion and reliability (see above, in particular).

Les figures 1 à 9 représentent un conteneur conforme à l'invention, du type à rouge à lèvres. Ce conteneur, noté 10 dans son ensemble, comporte un élément d'application 11 et un élément tubulaire de stockage 12 allongé selon une direction longitudinale et adapté à recevoir cet élément d'application.The Figures 1 to 9 represent a container according to the invention, of the lipstick type. This container, noted as a whole, comprises an applicator element 11 and a tubular storage element 12 elongate in a longitudinal direction and adapted to receive this application element.

Cet élément d'application comporte une face transversale arrière 11 A dont la section est la section maximale de cet élément 11, et l'élément tubulaire 12 comporte un fond 12A et une extrémité annulaire 12B.This applicator element comprises a rear transverse face 11A whose section is the maximum section of this element 11, and the tubular element 12 comprises a bottom 12A and an annular end 12B.

Plus précisément, cet élément d'application comporte ici, de façon connue en soi, une base 13 tournante et un tube 14 contenant un bâton à rouge à lèvres monté sur un support (non représenté) adapté à coulisser en sorte de faire sortir ou au contraire rentrer ce bâton, en fonction de la position angulaire de la base ; c'est la face arrière de cette base qui constitue la face transversale précitée. Le tube avec son support et le bâton qui y est engagé est couramment appelé cartouche de rouge à lèvres.More specifically, this applicator element here comprises, in a manner known per se, a rotating base 13 and a tube 14 containing a lipstick stick mounted on a support (not shown) adapted to slide out or out contrary to return this stick, according to the angular position of the base; it is the rear face of this base which constitutes the aforementioned transverse face. The tube with its support and the stick which is engaged there is commonly called cartridge of lipstick.

Un fourreau 15 est monté coulissant dans cet élément tubulaire de stockage et l'élément d'application 11 est adapté à être engagé à friction dans ce fourreau. Ce fourreau a avantageusement un fond 15A de manière à assurer une protection du fond de l'élément tubulaire vis-à-vis de ce qui peut venir à l'intérieur du fourreau.A sheath 15 is slidably mounted in this tubular storage element and the applicator element 11 is adapted to be frictionally engaged in this sheath. This sheath advantageously has a bottom 15A so as to provide protection of the bottom of the tubular element vis-à-vis that which can come inside the sheath.

De manière préférée, l'élément d'application, ici la base, comporte une portée annulaire 11 B adaptée à venir en regard d'un bord libre 15B du fourreau.Preferably, the application element, here the base, comprises an annular surface 11 B adapted to come opposite a free edge 15B of the sleeve.

De manière avantageuse, cet élément d'application vient en appui contre le fond du fourreau, par son extrémité avant.Advantageously, this applicator element abuts against the bottom of the sheath, by its front end.

Cet élément tubulaire 12 constitue vis-à-vis du fourreau un capot de protection et définit l'habillage du conteneur.This tubular element 12 constitutes vis-à-vis the sheath a protective cover and defines the packaging of the container.

Entre ce fourreau et le fond de l'élément tubulaire est disposé un dispositif 16 élastiquement compressible à deux configurations axiales de recul.Between this sheath and the bottom of the tubular element is disposed an elastically compressible device 16 with two axial recoil configurations.

Celui-ci comporte un ressort 17 interposé axialement entre une première portée 18 solidaire d'une piste 19 de guidage fermée ici en forme de coeur, globalement située dans un plan parallèle à l'axe de l'élément tubulaire et une seconde portée 20 reliée à un doigt suiveur 21 transversal, destiné à suivre cette piste de guidage lors des mouvements relatifs entre ces portées.This comprises a spring 17 interposed axially between a first bearing surface 18 integral with a guide track 19 closed here in the shape of a core, generally situated in a plane parallel to the axis of the tubular element and a second bearing surface 20 connected to it. to a transverse follower finger 21, intended to follow this guide track during relative movements between these litters.

Dans l'exemple considéré ici, la première portée est solidaire du fond de l'élément tubulaire tandis que la seconde portée est solidaire du fond du fourreau.In the example considered here, the first scope is secured to the bottom of the tubular element while the second scope is secured to the bottom of the sleeve.

La piste de guidage 19 est ici une rainure formant une boucle fermée et une plaque 22 longe le doigt en sorte de l'empêcher de sortir de cette rainure.The guide track 19 is here a groove forming a closed loop and a plate 22 runs along the finger so as to prevent it from coming out of this groove.

Ce doigt est monté à l'extrémité d'une tige 23 présentant un degré de liberté en flexion parallèlement au plan contenant la piste, permettant ainsi au doigt de suivre les sinuosités de la piste.This finger is mounted at the end of a rod 23 having a degree of freedom in flexion parallel to the plane containing the track, thus allowing the finger to follow the sinuosities of the track.

La forme en coeur de la piste de guidage est inversée, en sorte de présenter des portions anguleuses 19A et 19B (voir la figure 4) qui pointent vers l'extérieur de l'élément tubulaire. La distance axiale H entre ces portions anguleuses détermine l'écart axial entre les positions de recul du dispositif.The heart shape of the guide track is reversed, so as to present angular portions 19A and 19B (see FIG. figure 4 ) which point outwardly of the tubular element. The axial distance H between these angular portions determines the axial distance between the recoil positions of the device.

Pour passer d'une portion anguleuse à l'autre, le doigt doit franchir l'une des portions bombées 19C et 19D et on comprend aisément qu'en conséquence le niveau axial de ces portions bombées définit la profondeur d'enfoncement du doigt qui doit être atteinte pour passer d'une position de recul à l'autre.To pass from one angular portion to another, the finger must cross one of the curved portions 19C and 19D and it is easily understood that therefore the axial level of these curved portions defines the depth of depression of the finger which must to be reached to move from one recoil position to another.

On peut noter que la course d'enfoncement h nécessaire pour passer de la position de recul minimal (celle correspondant au creux du coeur) à l'autre position est très inférieure à la distance axiale entre ces positions de recul.It can be noted that the driving stroke h required to pass from the minimum recoil position (that corresponding to the hollow of the heart) to the other position is much lower than the axial distance between these recoil positions.

La coopération entre l'élément d'application et le fourreau est telle que, lorsque le doigt est dans sa configuration de recul minimum (correspondant à la position stable la plus enfoncée de ce fourreau - voir la figure 5) la face transversale de l'élément d'application affleure le bord de l'extrémité annulaire de l'élément tubulaire. Par contre, la distance entre les portions anguleuses de la piste en forme de coeur détermine la distance dont cet élément d'application vient en saillie lorsque le fourreau vient dans sa position stable la plus écartée du fond de l'élément tubulaire (voir la figure 4).The cooperation between the applicator element and the sheath is such that, when the finger is in its minimum recoil configuration (corresponding to the most recessed stable position of this sheath - see FIG. figure 5 the transverse face of the applicator element is flush with the edge of the annular end of the tubular element. On the other hand, the distance between the angular portions of the core-shaped track determines the distance from which this applicator element protrudes when the sheath comes into its stable position furthest away from the bottom of the tubular element (see FIG. figure 4 ).

Il est à la portée de l'homme de métier de définir le détail de la géométrie de la piste et du doigt. En particulier, il est à sa portée de prévoir une inclinaison de l'axe du coeur pour garantir que lors d'un enfoncement du fourreau et du franchissement d'une portion bombée, le doigt suit la piste vers l'autre position de recul au lieu de revenir vers la position de recul qu'il vient de quitter. Une autre manière de garantir ce bon parcours de la piste est de prévoir à l'emplacement des portions bombées des décrochements en profondeur de la rainure formant la piste, interdisant un retour.It is within the abilities of those skilled in the art to define the detail of the geometry of the track and the finger. In particular, it is within its scope to provide an inclination of the axis of the heart to ensure that during a depression of the sheath and crossing a convex portion, the finger follows the track to the other recoil position at instead of returning to the recoil position he has just left. Another way of guaranteeing this good run of the track is to provide at the site of the curved portions of the recesses in depth of the groove forming the track, prohibiting a return.

On observe qu'en configuration de fermeture (le dispositif axialement compressible est en position de recul minimum), à la figure 6, le conteneur a une surface extérieure définie par l'élément tubulaire de stockage, sauf en ce qui concerne la face transversale arrière de l'élément d'application.It can be observed that in the closed configuration (the axially compressible device is in a minimum recoil position), at the figure 6 the container has an outer surface defined by the tubular storage element, except for the rear transverse face of the applicator element.

Un léger mouvement d'enfoncement (figure 7), correspondant à la distance h précitée, suffit à faire passer le dispositif axialement compressible de sa position de recul minimum à sa position de recul maximum (figure 8) dans laquelle l'élément d'application est en saillie d'une distance égale à la distance H précitée bien supérieure à la course d'enfoncement. Il suffit alors à l'utilisatrice de saisir avec deux doigts la partie ainsi en saillie pour extraire l'élément d'application hors de l'élément tubulaire de stockage (figure 9).A slight movement of depression ( figure 7 ), corresponding to the above-mentioned distance h, is sufficient to move the axially compressible device from its minimum retracted position to its maximum retracted position ( figure 8 ) in which the applicator element protrudes by a distance equal to the aforementioned distance H much greater than the driving stroke. It is then sufficient for the user to grasp with two fingers the part thus projecting to extract the applicator element out of the tubular storage element ( figure 9 ).

Dans les exemples qui précèdent, la section générale de conteneur est globalement carrée avec des coins arrondis, mais il faut bien comprendre que le fait que l'invention ne mette en oeuvre que des mouvements de translation permet une grande variété de forme pour la section du conteneur, depuis une section circulaire, comme cela est représenté par le conteneur 50 des figures 10 et 11, jusqu'à une forme plus complexe, comme cela est représenté par le conteneur 70 des figures 12 et 13, avec une forme assimilable à un trèfle, en passant par des formes intermédiaires telles que des formes elliptiques, polygonales, etc.In the preceding examples, the general container section is generally square with rounded corners, but it should be understood that the fact that the invention implements only translation movements allows a wide variety of shapes for the section of the container. container, from a circular section, as represented by the container 50 of Figures 10 and 11 to a more complex shape, as represented by the container 70 of Figures 12 and 13 , with a form similar to a clover, passing through intermediate shapes such as elliptical shapes, polygonal, etc.

On appréciera que l'invention propose un système discret en raison de l'escamotage de l'élément d'application dans l'habillage de l'élément tubulaire de stockage, et de la possibilité d'obtenir une forme extérieure ne présentant aucun ligne de rupture ou de joint. Ce système est en outre facile à utiliser puisqu'il n'implique, en plus des mouvements nécessaires pour l'extraction et la manoeuvre de l'élément d'application des conteneurs connus, qu'un effort modéré de poussée, sur une faible course. Enfin ce système apporte une sécurité optimale puisque, dans la position de recul minimum, le produit est protégé tout en empêchant une extraction intempestive (il n'y a aucune saillie, aspérité ou aucun épaulement accessible pouvant être accroché par un objet adjacent). L'étanchéité est pourtant conservée dans le cas d'un produit liquide ou pâteux tel qu'un mascara ou un gloss.It will be appreciated that the invention proposes a discrete system because of the retraction of the applicator element in the dressing of the tubular storage element, and the possibility of obtaining an external shape having no line of rupture or seal. This system is also easy to use since it does not only involve the movements necessary for extraction and maneuvering of the application element known containers, a moderate thrust, on a short stroke. Finally, this system provides optimum security since, in the minimum recoil position, the product is protected while preventing inadvertent extraction (there is no projection, asperity or no accessible shoulder that can be hung by an adjacent object). Sealing is however preserved in the case of a liquid or pasty product such as a mascara or a gloss.

Des fonctions additionnelles peuvent être obtenues par simple adaptation de l'élément tubulaire de stockage, par exemple de protection contre les variations de température, contre les chocs, contre l'humidité, etc.Additional functions can be obtained by simple adaptation of the tubular storage element, for example protection against temperature variations, against shocks, against humidity, etc.

On comprend que les enseignements précités s'appliquent à une grande variété de produits :

  • des gloss, qui posent des problèmes analogues aux mascaras,
  • des vernis à ongles (il n'y a pas besoin d'essoreur),
  • des produits pulvérulents tels que fond de teint ou fard à joues ou à paupières.
It is understood that the aforementioned teachings apply to a wide variety of products:
  • glosses, which pose problems similar to mascaras,
  • nail polish (there is no need for a wiper),
  • powdery products such as foundation or blush or eye shadow.
