Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un ensemble de maquillage, plus particulièrement destiné au maquillage des cils au moyen d'un produit renforçateur de cils, encore appelé mascara, cet ensemble de maquillage permettant de prélever une quantité de produit de maquillage que l'utilisateur peut choisir, à chaque application, en fonction de ses besoins.The present invention relates to a make-up set, more particularly intended for making up the eyelashes by means of an eyelash enhancer product, also called mascara, this make-up set making it possible to remove an amount of make-up product that the user can choose, for each application, according to their needs.

Un applicateur de mascara conventionnel comporte un récipient contenant le mascara et un capuchon amovible qui est destiné à fermer le récipient et qui constitue une poignée permettant de manipuler une brosse portée par l'extrémité d'une tige solidaire du capuchon. En position de fermeture du récipient, la tige et la brosse, qui lui est associée, plongent dans le récipient. Lorsque l'on retire la tige du récipient, on prélève sur la brosse une certaine quantité de mascara, que l'on peut alors appliquer sur les cils.A conventional mascara applicator comprises a container containing the mascara and a removable cap which is intended to close the container and which constitutes a handle making it possible to handle a brush carried by the end of a rod secured to the cap. In the closed position of the container, the rod and the brush, which is associated with it, plunge into the container. When the rod is removed from the container, a certain amount of mascara is taken from the brush, which can then be applied to the eyelashes.

La brosse pénètre généralement à l'intérieur du récipient par un orifice sensiblement circulaire bordé par une lèvre simple dont le rôle est d'exercer une action d'essorage sur les poils de la brosse, dans le but d'éliminer l'excès de produit de maquillage prélevé par la brosse à l'intérieur du récipient. Le diamètre de cet orifice circulaire doit être inférieur au diamètre minimum de la brosse mesuré au sommet des poils, de façon que la lèvre souple qui borde l'orifice puisse exercer une action d'essorage de la brosse lors de l'extraction de cette dernière hors du récipient.The brush generally enters the interior of the container through a substantially circular orifice bordered by a simple lip whose role is to exert a wringing action on the bristles of the brush, in order to remove the excess product. makeup removed by the brush inside the container. The diameter of this circular orifice must be less than the minimum diameter of the brush measured at the top of the bristles, so that the flexible lip which borders the orifice can exert a wringing action of the brush during the extraction of the latter. out of the container.

On constate qu'avec cette structure classique de lèvre d'essorage, la quantité de mascara retenue par la brosse à chaque extraction de la tige hors du récipient est sensiblement toujours la même. Or, le fait que l'utilisateur ne puisse pas contrôler la quantité de mascara retenue à chaque fois par la brosse représente souvent une gêne pour lui. En effet, le maquillage des cils inférieurs nécessite, en règle générale, moins de mascara que celui des cils supérieurs; par ailleurs, la quantité de mascara appliquée lors d'une opération de maquillage dépend de la nature des cils à maquiller ainsi que du type de maquillage souhaité. Ainsi, d'une part, les cils à maquiller peuvent être plus ou moins longs, plus ou moins épais et plus ou moins rapprochés, et, d'autre part, l'utilisateur peut souhaiter obtenir un maquillage épais ou léger avec une séparation plus ou moins fine des cils.It can be seen that with this conventional structure of the wiping lip, the quantity of mascara retained by the brush on each extraction of the rod from the container is substantially always the same. However, the fact that the user cannot control the quantity of mascara retained each time by the brush often represents discomfort for him. In fact, the makeup of the lower eyelashes generally requires less mascara than that of the upper eyelashes; moreover, the quantity of mascara applied during a make-up operation depends on the nature of the eyelashes to be made up as well as on the type of make-up desired. Thus, on the one hand, the eyelashes to be made up can be more or less long, more or less thick and more or less close together, and, on the other hand, the user may wish to obtain a thick or light makeup with more separation. or less fine eyelashes.

Pour faciliter les gestes du maquillage des cils, on a donc recherché un moyen permettant à l'utilisateur de contrôler la quantité de mascara recueillie à chaque prélèvement, par exemple afin d'éviter à l'utilisateur désirant réaliser un maquillage léger ou un maquillage des cils du bas de l'oeil, de disposer d'une brosse trop chargée en mascara, ou encore à l'utilisateur souhaitant réaliser un maquillage épais ou un maquillage des cils supérieurs d'avoir à replonger constamment la tige porte-brosse dans le récipient.To facilitate the gestures of making up the eyelashes, we therefore sought a means allowing the user to control the quantity of mascara collected with each sample, for example in order to avoid the user wishing to make a light make-up or a make-up of the eyelashes at the bottom of the eye, to have a brush too loaded with mascara, or even for the user wishing to make a thick make-up or a make-up of the upper eyelashes to have to constantly plunge the brush-holding rod back into the container .

C'est ainsi qu'il a été proposé, par le brevet européen n° 0 002 301, de faire varier la superficie de la section transversale de l'orifice ménagé pour le passage de la brosse à travers l'organe d'essorage, ou, en variante, de remplacer un orifice par un autre ayant une superficie de section transversale différente. Ainsi, pour une section transversale maximale de cet orifice, on réalise un essorage faible, ce qui correspond à une brosse plus chargée en produit de maquillage, et, pour une section transversale minimale de cet orifice, on réalise un essorage fort, ce qui correspond à une brosse moins chargée en produit de maquillage.Thus it has been proposed, by European patent No. 0 002 301, to vary the area of the cross section of the orifice provided for the passage of the brush through the wiping member, or, alternatively, to replace one orifice with another having a different cross-sectional area. Thus, for a maximum cross section of this orifice, a low spin is produced, which corresponds to a brush more loaded with makeup product, and, for a minimum cross section of this orifice, a strong spin is produced, which corresponds to a brush less loaded with makeup product.

Différents modes de réalisation d'organes d'essorage adaptés pour assurer cette fonction sont indiqués dans le brevet européen précité. Toutefois, ces modes de réalisation font appel à des organes d'essorage assez compliqués qui nécessitent de modifier complètement la structure du récipient de mascara en vue de leur adaptation dans l'embouchure de celui-ci, et/ou à des organes d'essorage qui, étant, par définition, réalisés en un matériau souple pour leur permettre de jouer le rôle d'essoreur, et étant soumis à des mouvements de pivotement hélicoïdal, de torsion ou de pliage, pour obtenir un passage de sortie de brosse ayant une section droite de superficie variable, présentent le risque de s'abîmer très rapidement. De plus, pour certains modes de réalisation, le réglage de la quantité de mascara retenue par la brosse peut être estimé imparfait, ou encore la quantité recueillie sur la brosse pour une application peut ne pas être uniformément répartie à la périphérie de la brosse.Different embodiments of wiping members adapted to perform this function are indicated in the aforementioned European patent. However, these embodiments use fairly complicated wiping members which require completely modifying the structure of the mascara container with a view to their adaptation in the mouth thereof, and / or wiping members. which, by definition, being made of a flexible material to allow them to play the role of wringer, and being subjected to helical pivoting, twisting or folding movements, to obtain a brush exit passage having a cross section right of variable area, present the risk of being damaged very quickly. In addition, for certain embodiments, the adjustment of the quantity of mascara retained by the brush may be considered imperfect, or else the quantity collected on the brush for an application may not be uniformly distributed around the periphery of the brush.

La présente invention permet de remédier aux inconvénients précités. A cet effet, elle propose un organe d'essorage comportant une lèvre d'essorage simple, de forme annulaire, sur laquelle aucune contrainte ne s'exerce lorsque l'utilisateur est amené à modifier, en agissant sur un moyen de commande approprié, la section droite de l'orifice circulaire bordé par cette lèvre. La modification de cette section droite s'effectue par compression uniforme d'une bague relativement épaisse à laquelle est reliée la lèvre d'essorage à sa périphérie: il en résulte, d'une part, que le risque d'abîmer l'organe d'essorage lors des différentes manoeuvres permettant de modifier la section droite de l'orifice bordé par la lèvre, est nul, et, d'autre part, que cet orifice reste sensiblement circulaire quelle que soit la superficie choisie pour sa section droite. Ainsi, à l'avantage d'une structure simple, s'ajoute celui d'un fonctionnement donnant toute satisfaction. En outre, la forme générale de l'organe d'essorage selon la présente invention reste analogue à celle des organes d'essorage classiques, si bien que l'on peut réaliser des dispositifs de maquillage pour les cils présentant une structure d'ensemble ne différant pas d'une manière sensible de la structure classique de ces dispositifs.The present invention overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks. To this end, it offers a wiping member comprising a simple wiping lip, of annular shape, on which no constraint is exerted when the user has to modify, by acting on an appropriate control means, the cross section of the circular orifice bordered by this lip. The modification of this cross section is effected by uniform compression of a relatively thick ring to which the wiping lip is connected at its periphery: it follows, on the one hand, that the risk of damaging the organ d 'wringing during the various maneuvers making it possible to modify the cross section of the orifice bordered by the lip, is zero, and, on the other hand, that this orifice remains substantially circular whatever the surface chosen for its cross section. Thus, to the advantage of a simple structure, is added that of an operation giving all satisfaction. In addition, the general shape of the wiping member according to the present invention remains similar to that of conventional wiping members, so that it is possible to make makeup devices for the eyelashes having an overall structure. not differing appreciably from the conventional structure of these devices.

Conformément à un mode préféré de réalisation de la présente invention, le moyen de commande précité est constitué par une bague de réglage disposée à la base du récipient, le pivotement de cette bague - qui constitue un geste très simple pour l'utilisateur - faisant monter un réservoir dont la bordure supérieure vient comprimer l'organe d'essorage comme indiqué précédemment, cet organe ainsi que le réservoir étant logé dans un corps d'habillage dont la partie supérieure comporte, de la manière habituelle, des moyens de fixation du capuchon amovible doté de sa tige porte-brosse.In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the aforementioned control means consists of an adjustment ring disposed at the base of the container, the pivoting of this ring - which constitutes a very simple gesture for the user - raising a reservoir whose upper edge compresses the wiping member as indicated above, this member as well as the reservoir being housed in a covering body the upper part of which comprises, usual way, means for fixing the removable cap provided with its brush-holding rod.

On signalera, en outre, que le réglage du diamètre de l'orifice bordé par la lèvre d'essorage selon l'invention est extrêmement fiable, du fait notamment que l'on peut faire tourner la bague de réglage précitée sur un angle relativement important.It will also be noted that the adjustment of the diameter of the orifice bordered by the wiping lip according to the invention is extremely reliable, in particular because the above-mentioned adjustment ring can be rotated over a relatively large angle .

Enfin, l'ensemble selon la présente invention possède l'avantage complémentaire de pouvoir être fabriqué à partir d'éléments faciles à obtenir par moulage, faciles à monter, et ne posant pas de problème pour réaliser l'étanchéité requise.Finally, the assembly according to the present invention has the additional advantage of being able to be manufactured from elements that are easy to obtain by molding, easy to assemble, and not posing any problem in achieving the required seal.

La présente invention a donc pour objet le produit industriel nouveau que constitue un ensemble de maquillage, notamment pour les cils, comprenant un récipient renfermant un produit de maquillage fluide ou pâteux, un capuchon amovible s'assemblant sur le récipient, une tige solidaire du capuchon, disposée sensiblement selon son axe et faisant saillie par rapport audit capuchon, et une brosse portée par l'extrémité de la tige qui est opposée au capuchon, dans le prolongement de ladite tige, un organe d'essorage étant disposé à l'entrée du récipient dans lequel la brosse pénètre axialement par un passage délimité par la bordure intérieure d'une lèvre d'essorage réalisée en matériau élastique, la zone d'essorage définie par le passage précité ayant une section droite plus réduite que la section droite de la brosse à l'état de repos, caractérisé par le fait que la lèvre d'essorage est raccordée par sa périphérie à une bague réalisée en matériau élastique, bague qui présente une plus grande épaisseur que ladite lèvre et qui constitue avec elle l'organe d'essorage, ledit organe d'essorage étant susceptible de subir une déformation élastique conduisant à une variation de la section du passage destiné à la brosse sous l'action d'un moyen de commande qui fait varier la compression axiale de la bague précitée.The present invention therefore relates to the new industrial product that constitutes a make-up assembly, in particular for the eyelashes, comprising a container containing a fluid or pasty make-up product, a removable cap assembling on the container, a rod secured to the cap. , arranged substantially along its axis and projecting from said cap, and a brush carried by the end of the rod which is opposite to the cap, in the extension of said rod, a wiping member being disposed at the inlet of the container in which the brush penetrates axially by a passage delimited by the inner edge of a wiping lip made of elastic material, the wiping zone defined by the aforementioned passage having a cross section smaller than the cross section of the brush in the rest state, characterized in that the wiping lip is connected by its periphery to a ring made of elas material tick, ring which has a greater thickness than said lip and which constitutes with it the wiper member, said wiper member being liable to undergo an elastic deformation leading to a variation in the section of the passage intended for the brush under the action of a control means which varies the axial compression of the aforementioned ring.

On préfère que l'organe d'essorage soit constitué d'une pièce unique au voisinage du plan transversal médian de laquelle est disposée la lèvre d'essorage. Conformément à un mode particulier de réalisation de ladite lèvre d'essorage, celle-ci est raccordée au plan d'extrémité de la bague par des parois cintrées dont la concavité est tournée en direction de l'axe du passage prévu pour la brosse.It is preferred that the wiping member consists of a single piece in the vicinity of the median transverse plane of which the wiping lip is arranged. According to a particular embodiment of said wiping lip, it is connected to the end plane of the ring by curved walls whose concavity is turned towards the axis of the passage provided for the brush.

Selon des caractéristiques avantageuses, le récipient est constitué d'un élément mobile et d'un élément fixe, entre lesquels est interposée la bague de l'organe d'essorage, l'élément mobile étant susceptible d'une translation axiale par rapport à l'élément fixe et étant relié au moyen de commande; l'élément fixe du récipient est constitué d'un tube raccordé, à son extrémité opposée à celle coopérant avec le moyen de commande, à un goulot comportant des moyens complémentaires de moyens portés par le capuchon en vue de l'assembalage de ce dernier sur le goulot, le raccordement dudit tube et du goulot constituant un épaulement annulaire contre lequel l'organe d'essorage est en appui; l'élément mobile du récipient porte intérieurement, le long de sa bordure supérieure, une bague d'appui assurant l'étanchéité entre ledit élément mobile et l'organe d'essorage et répartissant la force de compression appliquée contre la bague dudit organe d'essorage; le passage délimité par la lèvre d'essorage, quand l'organe d'essorage est à l'état non contraint, présente une section droite du passage égale ou légèrement inférieure à celle de la portion de la tige porte-brosse, qui plonge dans le récipient; dans la position d'assemblage du capuchon sur le récipient, la tige de la brosse présente une section réduite dans sa région située dans le passage de l'organe d'essorage.According to advantageous characteristics, the container consists of a movable element and a fixed element, between which is interposed the ring of the wiping member, the movable element being capable of axial translation relative to the fixed element and being connected to the control means; the fixed element of the container consists of a tube connected, at its end opposite to that cooperating with the control means, to a neck comprising complementary means of means carried by the cap for the assembly of the latter on the neck, the connection of said tube and the neck constituting an annular shoulder against which the wiping member is supported; the movable element of the container internally carries, along its upper edge, a support ring ensuring the seal between said mobile element and the wiper member and distributing the compression force applied against the ring of said member spinning; the passage delimited by the wiping lip, when the wiping member is in the unstressed state, has a cross section of the passage equal to or slightly less than that of the portion of the brush-holding rod, which plunges into the recipient; in the assembly position of the cap on the container, the brush rod has a reduced section in its region located in the passage of the wiper member.

Dans une première variante de réalisation, l'élément mobile du récipient est constitué par un réservoir, dont la bordure supérieure exerce une force d'appui sur l'organe d'essorage; l'élément fixe du récipient est constitué par la paroi d'un corps d'habillage entourant le réservoir susmentionné; la base cylindrique du réservoir porte extérieurement un filetage coopérant avec un filetage complémentaire porté intérieurement par une bague de réglage, ladite bague de réglage constituant le moyen de commande et étant montée solidaire en translation du corps d'habillage.In a first alternative embodiment, the movable element of the container consists of a reservoir, the upper edge of which exerts a bearing force on the wiping member; the fixed element of the container consists of the wall of a covering body surrounding the aforementioned tank; the cylindrical base of the reservoir externally carries a thread cooperating with a complementary thread carried internally by an adjustment ring, said adjustment ring constituting the control means and being mounted integral in translation with the covering body.

Le corps d'habillage peut comporter, le long de sa bordure opposée à l'organe d'essorage, un bourrelet d'accrochage de la bague de réglage.The covering body may comprise, along its edge opposite the wiping member, a bead for attaching the adjustment ring.

Selon une deuxième variante de réalisation, l'élément mobile du récipient est constitué par un réservoir dont la bordure supérieure exerce une force d'appui sur l'organe d'essorage; l'élément fixe du récipient est constitué par la paroi d'un corps d'habillage entourant le réservoir; une bague de réglage constituant le moyen de commande coopère par un filetage avec le corps d'habillage, dans la zone du récipient qui est opposée à celle qui reçoit le capuchon, ladite bague de réglage venant en appui contre le fond du réservoir. De préférence, la bague de réglage constitue une cuvette cylindrique dont le fond porte, selon son axe et à l'intérieur de la cuvette, un filetage mâle en saillie, ledit filetage mâle coopérant avec un filetage femelle solidaire du corps d'habillage et disposé selon l'axe dudit corps, l'extrémité du filetage mâle venant en appui contre le fond du réservoir. Avantageusement, le filetage femelle du corps d'habillage est porté par le fond d'un manchon qui est fixé sur celle des extrémités du corps d'habillage, qui ne reçoit pas le capuchon, ladite extrémité étant ouverte.According to a second alternative embodiment, the movable element of the container consists of a reservoir, the upper edge of which exerts a bearing force on the wiping member; the fixed element of the container consists of the wall of a covering body surrounding the tank; an adjustment ring constituting the control means cooperates by threading with the covering body, in the zone of the container which is opposite to that which receives the cap, said adjustment ring coming to bear against the bottom of the tank. Preferably, the adjustment ring constitutes a cylindrical bowl, the bottom of which carries, along its axis and inside the bowl, a projecting male thread, said male thread cooperating with a female thread secured to the covering body and arranged along the axis of said body, the end of the male thread bearing against the bottom of the tank. Advantageously, the female thread of the covering body is carried by the bottom of a sleeve which is fixed on that of the ends of the covering body, which does not receive the cap, said end being open.

Par ailleurs, l'ensemble de maquillage selon la présente invention comporte avantageusement un moyen, indiquant le degré de la compression exercée sur l'organe d'essorage.Furthermore, the makeup assembly according to the present invention advantageously comprises means, indicating the degree of compression exerted on the wiping member.

Ainsi, dans le cas de la première variante précitée, on peut prévoir que la bague de réglage pénètre à l'intérieur du corps d'habillage par une paroi cylindrique comportant, sur sa face externe, une succession de repères, qui sont disposés radialement et qui apparaissent tour à tour devant une fenêtre du corps d'habillage lors du pivotement de ladite bague de réglage. Ces repères sont imprimés notamment par la technique connue du marquage à chaud.Thus, in the case of the first aforementioned variant, provision can be made for the adjustment ring penetrates inside the covering body by a cylindrical wall comprising, on its external face, a succession of marks, which are arranged radially and which appear in turn in front of a window of the covering body during the pivoting of said ring adjustment. These markers are printed in particular by the known technique of hot stamping.

On peut, toutefois, conformément à la présente invention, faire appel à des moyens de repérage moins coûteux que ceux utilisant la technique du marquage à chaud. Ainsi, dans le cas où le récipient de l'ensemble de maquillage selon la présente invention est constitué par un élément mobile et par un élément fixe, l'élément mobile étant relié à une bague de réglage qui constitue le moyen de commande, il est très intéressant que le moyen indiquant le degré de compression de l'organe d'essorage comporte:

  • - en premier lieu, un premier repère formé par une lumière pratiquée dans la paroi latérale de l'une des deux parties que constituent, d'une part, l'élément fixe, et, d'autre part, la bague de réglage, ladite lumière laissant apparaître un organe sous-jacent qui est d'une teinte différente de celle de la partie qui porte ledit premier repère;
  • - en second lieu, plusieurs seconds repères formé chacun par une lumière pratiquée dans la paroi latérale de celle des deux parties précitées qui ne porte pas le premier repère, ladite lumière laissant apparaître un organe sous-jacent qui est d'une teinte différente de celle de la partie qui porte lesdits seconds repères, chacun desdits seconds repères étant susceptible de venir au droit du premier repère pour une position donnée de la bague de réglage.
It is possible, however, in accordance with the present invention, to use locating means which are less costly than those using the hot stamping technique. Thus, in the case where the container of the make-up assembly according to the present invention is constituted by a mobile element and by a fixed element, the mobile element being connected to an adjustment ring which constitutes the control means, it is very interesting that the means indicating the degree of compression of the wiper member comprises:
  • - firstly, a first mark formed by a light formed in the side wall of one of the two parts which constitute, on the one hand, the fixed element, and, on the other hand, the adjustment ring, said light revealing an underlying organ which is of a different color from that of the part which bears said first mark;
  • - secondly, several second marks each formed by a light formed in the side wall of that of the two aforementioned parts which does not carry the first mark, said light revealing an underlying organ which is of a different shade from that of the part which carries said second marks, each of said second marks being capable of coming in line with the first mark for a given position of the adjusting ring.

Conformément à un mode de réalisation préféré, l'élément fixe comporte la lumière qui forme le premier repère, et la bague de réglage comporte les lumières qui forment les seconds repères.According to a preferred embodiment, the fixed element comprises the light which forms the first mark, and the adjustment ring comprises the lights which form the second marks.

De préférence, les lumières formant les seconds repères présentent des formes et/ou des tailles différentes. Il est souhaitable que les formes et/ou tailles des lumières formant les seconds repères soient associées à l'état de compression de l'organe d'essorage. Ainsi, les lumières formant les seconds repères peuvent présenter des formes circulaires, dont le diamètre est associé à la section So de l'organe d'essorage.Preferably, the lights forming the second marks have different shapes and / or sizes. It is desirable that the shapes and / or sizes of the lights forming the second marks are associated with the state of compression of the wiper member. Thus, the lights forming the second marks may have circular shapes, the diameter of which is associated with the section So of the wiper member.

Conformément à un mode de réalisation particulier de l'ensemble selon la présente invention, les axes des lumières formant les seconds repères sont disposés dans un même plan perpendiculaire à l'axe de la bague de réglage.According to a particular embodiment of the assembly according to the present invention, the axes of the lights forming the second marks are arranged in the same plane perpendicular to the axis of the adjustment ring.

On prévoira avantageusement que les lumières formant les seconds repères soient au nombre de trois.Advantageously, provision will be made for the lights forming the second marks to be three in number.

Dans le cas où l'élément mobile du récipient est constitué par un réservoir dont la bordure supérieure exerce une force d'appui sur l'organe d'essorage, l'élément fixe est constitué par la paroi d'un corps d'habillage entourant le réservoir, apte à recevoir le capuchon à l'une de ses extrémités, et portant, à son extrémité opposée, un manchon dont le fond comporte un filetage coopérant avec un filetage complémentaire qui est porté par le fond de la bague de réglage et dont l'extrémité libre est en appui contre le fond du réservoir, on prévoira avantageusement que le manchon présente une couleur différente de celle(s) de la bague de réglage et du corps d'habillage, et constitue l'organe sous-jacent formant, avec les lumières pratiquées respectivement dans le corps d'habillage et la bague, respectivement le premier et le seconds repères.In the case where the movable element of the container is constituted by a reservoir whose upper edge exerts a bearing force on the wiping member, the fixed element is constituted by the wall of a covering body surrounding the reservoir, capable of receiving the cap at one of its ends, and carrying, at its opposite end, a sleeve whose bottom has a thread cooperating with a complementary thread which is carried by the bottom of the adjustment ring and whose the free end bears against the bottom of the reservoir, provision will advantageously be made for the sleeve to have a color different from that (s) of the adjustment ring and of the covering body, and constitutes the underlying member forming, with the lights made respectively in the covering body and the ring, respectively the first and second marks.

Dans le cas précité et également dans le cas où c'est l'élément fixe qui comporte la lumière formant le premier repère, tandis que la bague de réglage comporte les lumières formant les seconds repères, on prévoira avantageusement que la lumière formant le premier repère soit constituée par une échancrure de la bordure du corps d'habillage opposée à celle qui reçoit le capuchon, le manchon portant une protubérance apte à venir se loger dans ladite échancrure.In the aforementioned case and also in the case where it is the fixed element which comprises the light forming the first mark, while the adjustment ring comprises the lights forming the second marks, it will advantageously be provided that the light forming the first mark is constituted by a notch in the edge of the covering body opposite to that which receives the cap, the sleeve carrying a protuberance capable of being accommodated in said notch.

Conformément à un mode particulier de réalisation de la présente invention, les parois latérales du corps d'habillage et de la bague de réglage se situent dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre.According to a particular embodiment of the present invention, the side walls of the covering body and of the adjustment ring are located in the extension of one another.

Si l'on se refere aux figures 1 à 4, on voit que l'on a désigné par 1, un ensemble de maquillage utilise pour l'application de mascara sur les cils. L'ensemble 1, en position fermée, tel qu'on peut le voir sur la figure 1, se présente sous la forme d'un bâtonnet qui résulte de l'assemblage d'un récipient cylindrique 2 et d'un capuchon cylindrique 3, de diamètre extérieur légèrement inférieur à celui du récipient 2.If we refer to Figures 1 to 4, we see that we have designated by 1, a set of makeup used for the application of mascara on the eyelashes. The assembly 1, in the closed position, as can be seen in FIG. 1, is in the form of a stick which results from the assembly of a cylindrical container 2 and a cylindrical cap 3, slightly smaller outside diameter than container 2.

Le récipient 2 est lui-même constitué par un corps d'habillage 4 à la base duquel s'assemble une bague 5 de réglage de l'intensité de l'essorage, le corps d'habillage 4 et la bague 5 définissant un espace interne dans lequel est logé un réservoir de mascara 6, surmonté par un organe d'essorage 7, avec interposition d'une bague d'appui 8.The container 2 is itself constituted by a covering body 4 at the base of which a ring 5 for adjusting the intensity of the spinning is assembled, the covering body 4 and the ring 5 defining an internal space in which is housed a mascara tank 6, surmounted by a wiper member 7, with the interposition of a support ring 8.

Le corps d'habillage 4, réalisé en une matière plastique comme le polypropylène, consiste en un élément tubulaire cylindrique ouvert à ses deux extrémités. Au voisinage de son extrémité supérieure, le corps d'habillage 4 comporte un épaulement annulaire 9 au-delà duquel il présente un diamètre plus faible, de manière à constituer un goulot 10 portant extérieurement un filetage 11. A son extrémité inférieure, la paroi interne du corps d'habillage 4 comporte un bourrelet d'accrochage 12 dont le rôle est indiqué plus loin. De plus, une échancrure ménageant une fenêtre 13, dont le rôle est également indiqué plus loin, est pratiquée le long du bord inférieur du corps 4. Cette fenêtre 13 est délimitée par deux bords opposés de même hauteur disposés à faible distance l'un de l'autre selon des génératrices du corps 4.The covering body 4, made of a plastic material such as polypropylene, consists of a cylindrical tubular element open at its two ends. Near its upper end, the covering body 4 has an annular shoulder 9 beyond which it has a smaller diameter, so as to constitute a neck 10 externally carrying a thread 11. At its lower end, the internal wall of the covering body 4 comprises a hooking bead 12 whose role is indicated below. In addition, a notch providing a window 13, the role of which is also indicated below, is formed along the lower edge of the body 4. This window 13 is delimited by two opposite edges of the same height arranged at a short distance one of the other according to generatrices of the body 4.

La bague de réglage 5, qui ferme le corps 4 à sa partie inférieure, est réalisée en une matière plastique comme un polystyrène résistant au choc; elle est constituée par un manchon cylindrique 14 raccordé à un fond 15. La paroi externe du manchon 14 présente, sensiblement à mi-hauteur, un décrochement annulaire radial 16, au-delà duquel il présente une épaisseur plus faible. La partie inférieure 14a, de plus grand diamètre externe, du manchon 14 présente une épaisseur supérieure à celle du fond 15; en outre, elle comporte extérieurement et sur la totalité de sa périphérie des stries axiales 17, et, intérieurement, un filetage 18. Quant à la partie supérieure 14b du manchon 14, elle se termine par un bord arrondi 19 et elle présente extérieurement une gorge annulaire 20 dont le bord inférieur se situe dans le même plan que celui du décrochement 16. De plus, dans la partie 14b du manchon 14, est formée une zone en creux 21 de faible épaisseur, délimitée par deux bords transversaux disposés selon des génératrices du manchon 14 et deux bords longitudinaux disposés dans des plans transversaux dudit manchon 14, le bord longitudinal inférieur étant voisin du bord supérieur de la gorge 20. La zone en creux 21 porte des inscriptions allant de 1 à 4 par exemple, disposées parallèlement aux bords longitudinaux de ladite zone 21, ces inscriptions figurant par exemple sur une feuille mince collée contre le fond de la zone 21.The adjustment ring 5, which closes the body 4 at its lower part, is made of a plastic material such as an impact-resistant polystyrene; it consists of a cylindrical sleeve 14 connected to a bottom 15. The external wall of the sleeve 14 has, substantially at mid-height, an annular radial recess 16, beyond which it has a smaller thickness. The lower part 14a, of larger external diameter, of the sleeve 14 has a thickness greater than that of the bottom 15; in addition, it has externally and over its entire periphery axial grooves 17, and, internally, a thread 18. As for the upper part 14b of the sleeve 14, it ends in a rounded edge 19 and it has externally a groove annular 20 whose lower edge is in the same plane as that of the recess 16. In addition, in the part 14b of the sleeve 14, is formed a hollow zone 21 of small thickness, delimited by two transverse edges arranged according to generatrices of the sleeve 14 and two longitudinal edges arranged in transverse planes of said sleeve 14, the lower longitudinal edge being close to the upper edge of the groove 20. The hollow area 21 carries inscriptions ranging from 1 to 4 for example, arranged parallel to the longitudinal edges of said zone 21, these inscriptions appearing for example on a thin sheet glued against the bottom of zone 21.

En position d'assemblage de l'ensemble 1, la bague de réglage 5 est introduite par la partie supérieure 14b de son manchon 14 dans le corps 4 dont le bourrelet 12 assure la retenue en translation par pénétration dans la gorge 20 dudit manchon 14, la bague 5 restant libre en rotation autour de l'axe de l'ensemble 1.In the assembly position of the assembly 1, the adjustment ring 5 is introduced through the upper part 14b of its sleeve 14 into the body 4, the bead 12 of which ensures retention in translation by penetration into the groove 20 of said sleeve 14, the ring 5 remaining free to rotate about the axis of the assembly 1.

Le corps 4 et la bague 5 délimitent un espace intérieur dans lequel se trouve logé le réservoir 6 réalisé en une matière plastique comme le polypropylène. Ce réservoir 6 se compose d'un fourreau tubulaire 22 réuni, à sa base, à un fond 23 et ouvert à sa partie supérieure. Entre sa bordure libre et le fond 23, le fourreau tubulaire 22 comporte successivement une partie cylindrique 22a dont le diamètre extérieur est légèrement inférieur au diamètre intérieur du corps 4, puis une partie cylindrique 22b de diamètre plus faible, et enfin, une partie cylindrique 22c de diamètre encore plus faible. Les parties 22a et 22b sont réunies par un décrochement annulaire 24 ménageant une portée externe annulaire 25 et présentant une paroi interne 26 de forme tronconique, s'évasant vers l'ouverture libre du réservoir 6. Quant aux parties 22b et 22c, elles sont réunies par un épaulement 27, de forme tronconique, s'évasant dans la même direction que la paroi 26. La partie 22c porte extérieurement un filetage 28 destiné à coopérer avec le filetage 18 du manchon 14 de la bague de réglage 5.The body 4 and the ring 5 define an interior space in which is housed the reservoir 6 made of a plastic material such as polypropylene. This reservoir 6 consists of a tubular sheath 22 joined, at its base, to a bottom 23 and open at its upper part. Between its free edge and the bottom 23, the tubular sheath 22 successively comprises a cylindrical part 22a whose external diameter is slightly less than the internal diameter of the body 4, then a cylindrical part 22b of smaller diameter, and finally, a cylindrical part 22c even smaller in diameter. The parts 22a and 22b are joined by an annular recess 24 providing an annular outer surface 25 and having an internal wall 26 of frustoconical shape, widening towards the free opening of the reservoir 6. As for the parts 22b and 22c, they are joined by a shoulder 27, of frustoconical shape, widening in the same direction as the wall 26. The part 22c externally carries a thread 28 intended to cooperate with the thread 18 of the sleeve 14 of the adjustment ring 5.

Au voisinage de sa bordure libre, la paroi interne de la partie 22a du réservoir 6 porte un bourrelet annulaire 29 (figure 4), au-dessus duquel elle présente un décrochement radial 30 vers l'extérieur.In the vicinity of its free border, the internal wall of the part 22a of the reservoir 6 carries an annular bead 29 (FIG. 4), above which it has a radial recess 30 towards the outside.

L'organe d'essorage 7 est réalisé en caoutchouc et il consiste en un élément cylindrique présentant un canal de traversée central 31 ayant la forme d'un diabolo qui présente une symétrie de révolution par rapport à l'axe dudit élément cylindrique, ainsi qu'un plan médian de symétrie perpendiculaire audit axe. Il est donc ainsi constitue, dans ce plan médian de symétrie, une lèvre d'essorage 32 dont la bordure intérieure définit un passage 32a ménagé pour la brosse de maquillage décrite plus loin, cette lèvre d'essorage 32 étant, à sa périphérie, raccordée à une bague 32b d'une épaisseur environ cinq fois plus grande que celle de la lèvre 32, lorsque l'organe d'essorage 7 est à l'état non contraint, comme montré sur la figure 1.The wiper member 7 is made of rubber and it consists of a cylindrical element having a central passage channel 31 having the shape of a diabolo which has a symmetry of revolution with respect to the axis of said cylindrical element, as well as 'a median plane of symmetry perpendicular to said axis. It is thus thus constitutes, in this median plane of symmetry, a wiping lip 32 whose inner edge defines a passage 32a formed for the makeup brush described below, this wiping lip 32 being, at its periphery, connected to a ring 32b about five times the thickness than that of the lip 32, when the wiping member 7 is in the unstressed state, as shown in FIG. 1.

En position d'assemblage, l'organe d'essorage 7 est en appui par sa paroi annulaire supérieure 33 contre la paroi interne de l'épaulement 9 du corps 4, le diamètre interne de cette paroi annulaire 33 étant légèrement inférieur au diamètre interne du goulot 10, et, par sa paroi annulaire inférieure 34, à la fois contre la face supérieure de la bague 8 et la bordure libre du réservoir 6.In the assembly position, the wiper member 7 is supported by its upper annular wall 33 against the internal wall of the shoulder 9 of the body 4, the internal diameter of this annular wall 33 being slightly less than the internal diameter of the neck 10, and, by its lower annular wall 34, both against the upper face of the ring 8 and the free edge of the reservoir 6.

La bague 8, réalisée en une matière plastique comme le polypropylène, comporte une paroi interne cylindrique à sa partie supérieure 35a si l'on considère la bague 8 dans sa position de montage, puis tronconique à sa partie inférieure 35b, s'évasant depuis la zone de jonction avec la partie cylindrique 35a, et une paroi externe cylindrique avec un décrochement radial 36, se situant sensiblement au niveau de la zone de jonction des parties 35a et 35b, et partageant la paroi externe en deux zones 37a et 37b, la zone inférieure 37b, de plus petit diamètre, portant une gorge annulaire 38 destinée à coopérer avec le bourrelet annulaire 29 du réservoir 6, le décrochement 36 étant, en position de montage, en appui contre le décrochement 30 dudit réservoir 6.The ring 8, made of a plastic material such as polypropylene, has a cylindrical internal wall at its upper part 35a if we consider the ring 8 in its mounting position, then frustoconical at its lower part 35b, flaring from the junction zone with the cylindrical part 35a, and a cylindrical external wall with a radial recess 36, lying substantially at the level of the junction zone of the parts 35a and 35b, and dividing the external wall into two zones 37a and 37b, the zone lower 37b, of smaller diameter, carrying an annular groove 38 intended to cooperate with the annular bead 29 of the reservoir 6, the step 36 being, in the mounting position, bearing against the step 30 of said tank 6.

Le capuchon 3 est réalisé en une matière plastique du type acrylonitrile-butadiène-styrène. Il est constitué par une jupe cylindrique 39 raccordée à un fond 40. A quelque distance de son bord libre, la jupe 39 comporte un décrochement interne 41 de sa paroi au-delà duquel elle présente une épaisseur plus faible. La partie terminale de plus faible épaisseur comporte un filetage interne 42 destiné à coopérer avec le filetage 11 du goulot 10 du récipient 2. En outre, la partie de la jupe 39 de plus grand diamètre porte intérieurement deux nervures axiales 43 diamétralement opposées.The cap 3 is made of a plastic material of the acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene type. It consists of a cylindrical skirt 39 connected to a bottom 40. At some distance from its free edge, the skirt 39 has an internal recess 41 of its wall beyond which it has a smaller thickness. The thinner end portion has an internal thread 42 intended to cooperate with the thread 11 of the neck 10 of the container 2. In addition, the part of the skirt 39 of larger diameter internally carries two diametrically opposite axial ribs 43.

Le capuchon 3 porte, disposée selon son axe, une tige 44 réalisée en une matière plastique comme le polypropylène et terminée par une brosse 45. La tige 44 fait saillie par rapport au capuchon 3. Elle se compose d'un élément principal cylindrique dont le diamètre extérieur, à partir du voisinage de son extrémité supérieure, augmente progressivement puis redevient constant. Sa paroi supérieure présente un évidement axial 46, de sorte que l'élément principal cylindrique est, à sa partie supérieure, réuni à une paroi tronconique 47 puis cylindrique 48. La tige 44 comporte, au niveau de la jonction entre les parois 47 et 48, une collerette annulaire externe 49 destinée à venir en appui contre le décrochement 41 de la paroi interne de la jupe 39, et portant, dirigée à l'opposé de la paroi 48, une lèvre 50, légèrement tronconique, s'évasant à partir de ladite collerette 49 et s'effilant en direction de son extrémité libre.The cap 3 carries, arranged along its axis, a rod 44 made of a plastic material such as polypropylene and terminated by a brush 45. The rod 44 projects relative to the cap 3. It consists of a main cylindrical element, the outer diameter, from the vicinity of its upper end, gradually increases and then becomes constant. Its upper wall has an axial recess 46, so that the main cylindrical element is, at its upper part, joined to a frustoconical wall 47 then cylindrical 48. The rod 44 comprises, at the junction between the walls 47 and 48 , an external annular flange 49 intended to come into abutment against the recess 41 of the internal wall of the skirt 39, and bearing, directed opposite the wall 48, a lip 50, slightly frustoconical, flaring from said flange 49 and tapering towards its free end.

Par ailleurs, la partie cylindrique 48 présente, diamétralement opposées, deux rainures axiales (non référencées) dans lesquelles viennent se loger les nervures 43 lors de l'assemblage de la tige 44 sur le capuchon 3.Furthermore, the cylindrical part 48 has, diametrically opposite, two axial grooves (not referenced) in which the ribs 43 are housed when the rod 44 is assembled on the cap 3.

L'élément principal de la tige 44 présente, en outre, un étranglement 51 de sa section sur une hauteur correspondant sensiblement à celle de l'organe d'essorage 7. En position d'assemblage, lorsque l'organe d'essorage 7 est à l'état non contraint (figure 1). la zone de l'étranglement 51 se situe sensiblement dans le canal de traversée 31 en forme de diabolo de l'organe d'essorage 7, et à l'état complètement comprimé, la lèvre d'essorage 32 se situe encore en vis-à-vis de la zone de l'étranglement 51. Par ailleurs, le diamètre de la tige 44, dans la zone de l'étranglement 51, est légèrement inférieur, à la limite égal, au diamètre de l'ouverture 32a délimitée par la lèvre d'essorage 32, lorsque l'organe d'essorage 7 se trouve dans un état de compression axiale maximale.The main element of the rod 44 also has a throttle 51 of its section over a height corresponding substantially to that of the wiper member 7. In the assembly position, when the wiper member 7 is in an unstressed state (Figure 1). the throttle zone 51 is located substantially in the diabolo-shaped passage channel 31 of the wiper member 7, and in the fully compressed state, the wiper lip 32 is still opposite -screw of the region of the constriction 51. Furthermore, the diameter of the rod 44, in the region of the constriction 51, is slightly less, at the equal limit, than the diameter of the opening 32a delimited by the lip wiper 32, when the wiper member 7 is in a state of maximum axial compression.

La brosse 45 est constituée par une âme 52 qui est disposée dans l'axe de la tige 44; l'âme 52 est formée en repliant un fil métallique sur lui-même, puis en tordant ce fil ainsi doublé de manière à bloquer autour de l'âme 52 une rangée hélicoïdale de soies radiales 53. Le diamètre extérieur de la brosse 45, à l'état de repos, est sensiblement constant sauf à son extrémité libre où il diminue progressivement. Cependant, le diamètre extérieur minimal de la brosse 45 est légèrement supérieur à celui de l'ouverture 32a délimitée par la lèvre d'essorage 32 déjà lorsque l'organe 7 est à l'état non contraint. Par ailleurs, le diamètre de la partie principale de la tige 44, sauf dans la zone de l'étranglement 51, est légèrement supérieur ou égal à celui de l'ouverture 32a délimitée par la bordure intérieure de la lèvre 32, déjà lorsque l'organe 7 n'est soumis à aucune contrainte.The brush 45 is constituted by a core 52 which is arranged in the axis of the rod 44; the core 52 is formed by folding a metal wire over itself, then by twisting this wire thus doubled so as to block around the core 52 a helical row of radial bristles 53. The outside diameter of the brush 45, the state of rest is substantially constant except at its free end where it gradually decreases. However, the minimum outside diameter of the brush 45 is slightly greater than that of the opening 32a delimited by the wiping lip 32 already when the member 7 is in the unstressed state. Furthermore, the diameter of the main part of the rod 44, except in the region of the constriction 51, is slightly greater than or equal to that of the opening 32a delimited by the inner edge of the lip 32, already when the organ 7 is not subject to any constraint.

Le montage de l'ensemble de maquillage 1 s'effectue comme suit:

  • On introduit l'organe d'essorage 7 dans le corps d'habillage 4 par son ouverture opposée au goulot 10 jusqu'à la mise en appui d'une face annulaire dudit organe 7 contre l'épaulement 9 du corps 4; on visse à fond la bague de réglage 5 sur la partie inférieure filetée 22c du réservoir 6, auquel on a fixé, par encliquetage du bourrelet 29 dans la gorge 38 la bague d'appui 8, dont la face annulaire supérieure vient se placer dans le même plan que la bordure libre du fourreau tubulaire 22; on introduit le sous-ensemble constitué par les bagues 5 et 8 et par le réservoir 6 dans le corps 4 par son ouverture opposée au goulot 10 et on le fait coulisser dans ledit corps 4 jusqu'à réaliser son accrochage par pénétration du bourrelet 12 dans la gorge 20. Dans cette position, la bague 8 et le bord supérieur du réservoir 6 se trouvent en simple appui étanche contre la paroi annulaire inférieure 34 de l'organe d'essorage 7, et le chiffre 1, figurant sur la zone en creux 21 de la partie supérieure 14b du manchon 14 de la bague 5 apparaît devant la fenêtre 13 du corps 4, ce qui signifie que l'organe d'essorage 7 est à l'état non contraint.
The assembly of the makeup assembly 1 is carried out as follows:
  • The wiper member 7 is introduced into the covering body 4 through its opening opposite the neck 10 until an annular face of said member 7 is pressed against the shoulder 9 of the body 4; the adjustment ring 5 is fully screwed onto the threaded lower part 22c of the reservoir 6, to which the support ring 8 has been fixed, by snapping on the bead 29 in the groove 38, the upper annular face of which is placed in same plane as the free edge of the tubular sheath 22; the subassembly consisting of the rings 5 and 8 and by the reservoir 6 is introduced into the body 4 by its opening opposite to the neck 10 and it is made to slide in the said body 4 until it engages by penetration of the bead 12 in the groove 20. In this position, the ring 8 and the upper edge of the reservoir 6 are in simple sealed abutment against the lower annular wall 34 of the wiping member 7, and the number 1, appearing in the recessed area 21 of the upper part 14b of the sleeve 14 of the ring 5 appears in front of the window 13 of the body 4, which means that the wiper member 7 is in the unstressed state.

Parallèlement, on introduit à force la tige 44 dans le capuchon 3 jusqu'à mise en appui de la collerette 49 contre le décrochement 41 de la jupe 39, les rainures pratiquées dans la paroi 48 terminant la tige 44 recevant chacune une nervure 43 du capuchon 3.At the same time, the rod 44 is forcibly introduced into the cap 3 until the flange 49 presses against the step 41 of the skirt 39, the grooves made in the wall 48 ending the rod 44 each receiving a rib 43 of the cap 3.

On remplit le récipient 2 que l'on vient de constituer par du mascara et on vient fixer le capuchon 3 et la tige 44 portant la brosse 45 qui lui est solidaire par vissage sur le goulot 10 du corps 4.The container 2 which has just been made up is filled with mascara and the cap 3 and the rod 44 carrying the brush 45 which is fixedly attached thereto are fixed by screwing onto the neck 10 of the body 4.

Cet ensemble de maquillage fonctionne de la façon suivante:This makeup set works as follows:

Lorsque la brosse 45 est extraite du réservoir 6 alors que la bague de réglage 5 n'a pas été manoeuvrée, la lèvre d'essorage 32 se trouve, comme on l'a indiqué plus haut, dans une position où elle assurera un essorage de force minimale, ce qui signifie que la quantité de mascara recueillie par la brosse 45 sera maximale. Si l'utilisateur désire se maquiller à l'aide d'une brosse moins chargée en mascara, il lui suffit de faire pivoter la bague de réglage 5, cette manoeuvre étant facilitée par la présence de stries 17 sur la paroi externe du manchon 14, et ayant pour résultat de faire monter verticalement le réservoir 6 dont la bordure supérieure et la bague 8 qui lui est associée compriment uniformément la bague périphérique 32b de l'organe d'essorage 7. Suivant l'ampleur que l'on a donné au mouvement de pivotement de la bague 5, apparaissent successivement, devant la fenêtre 13, les chiffres 2, 3 et 4, qui indiquent par conséquent le degré de la compression exercée sur la bague 32b et, de ce fait, la force croissante de l'essorage, la quantité de mascara qui pourra être recueillie sur la brosse 45 diminuant proportionnellement.When the brush 45 is extracted from the reservoir 6 while the adjustment ring 5 has not been operated, the wiping lip 32 is, as indicated above, in a position where it will ensure a wiping of minimum force, which means that the quantity of mascara collected by the brush 45 will be maximum. If the user wishes to apply makeup using a brush less loaded with mascara, it suffices to rotate the adjustment ring 5, this maneuver being facilitated by the presence of grooves 17 on the external wall of the sleeve 14, and having the result of causing the reservoir 6 to rise vertically, the upper edge and the ring 8 which is associated with it uniformly compress the peripheral ring 32b of the wiper member 7. Depending on the magnitude which has been given to the movement of pivoting of the ring 5, appear successively, in front of the window 13, the numbers 2, 3 and 4, which consequently indicate the degree of the compression exerted on the ring 32b and, consequently, the increasing force of the spin , the quantity of mascara which can be collected on the brush 45 decreasing proportionally.

Lors de la compression de l'organe 7, la concavité des parois cintrées délimitant, avec la lèvre 32, le canal de traversée 31 à travers l'organe 7, s'inverse, comme on peut le voir en comparant les figures 1 et 2, le diamètre de l'orifice 32a bordé par la lèvre 32 diminue, et la hauteur de la bordure intérieure de la lèvre 32 augmente, ladite lèvre 32 ne subissant toutefois aucun dommage. En outre, la compression s'exerçant sur la bague 32b, d'une épaisseur relativement importante, l' organe 7 dans son ensemble ne présente aucun risque d'être abîmé même après de nombreuses manoeuvres pour changer le diamètre de l'orifice 32a.During the compression of the member 7, the concavity of the curved walls delimiting, with the lip 32, the passage channel 31 through the member 7, is reversed, as can be seen by comparing Figures 1 and 2 , the diameter of the orifice 32a bordered by the lip 32 decreases, and the height of the inner edge of the lip 32 increases, said lip 32 however not suffering any damage. In addition, the compression being exerted on the ring 32b, of a relatively large thickness, the member 7 as a whole presents no risk of being damaged even after numerous operations to change the diameter of the orifice 32a.

La présence de la zone d'étranglement 51 sur la tige de la brosse 44 empêche que la lèvre 32 ne soit en contact avec cette tige 44, alors que le capuchon 3 est en place sur le récipient 2 et quel que soit l'état dans lequel se trouve l'organe 7. On a vu, par ailleurs, que le diamètre de la tige 44 était choisi pour que la partie de cette tige 44 qui plonge dans le mascara puisse subir également un essorage même dans le cas où l'organe d'essorage 7 n'est soumis à aucune contrainte.The presence of the throttling zone 51 on the rod of the brush 44 prevents the lip 32 from being in contact with this rod 44, while the cap 3 is in place on the container 2 and whatever the state in which is the member 7. We have seen, moreover, that the diameter of the rod 44 was chosen so that the part of this rod 44 which dips in the mascara can also undergo a wringing even in the case where the organ of spin 7 is not subject to any constraint.

Enfin, on peut facilement faire en sorte que l'ampleur de la rotation que l'on fait subir à la bague 5 soit importante et corresponde notamment à un tour complet environ: le réglage de la quantité de mascara que l'on peut alors recueillir sur la brosse est très faible. Dans ces conditions, on peut remplacer la zone en creux 21 par plusieurs zones distinctes portant chacune un chiffre indiquant le degré de compression de l'organe 7.Finally, it is easy to ensure that the magnitude of the rotation which the ring 5 is subjected to is significant and corresponds in particular to approximately one complete revolution: the adjustment of the quantity of mascara which can then be collected on the brush is very weak. Under these conditions, the hollow zone 21 can be replaced by several distinct zones, each carrying a number indicating the degree of compression of the member 7.

En se référant maintenant aux figures 5 et 6 relatives à un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'ensemble de maquillage selon l'invention, on voit que le récipient 102 est constitué, comme pour la première variante, par un corps d'habillage cylindrique 104 qui entoure un réservoir 106, le réservoir 106 étant susceptible de coulisser en translation à l'intérieur du corps d'habillage 104. Pour simplifier, les éléments analogues des premier et deuxième modes de réalisation ont été désignés, pour le deuxième mode de réalisation, par des numéros de référence augmentés de 100 par rapport aux références utilisées pour le premier mode de réalisation. La partie haute de l'ensemble de maquillage des figures 5 et 6 n'a pas été représentée, étant donné qu'elle est strictement identique à celle du premier mode de réalisation. Le réservoir 106 contient le produit de maquillage qui doit être distribué au moyen de la brosse 145 placée à l'extrémité de la tige 144 solidaire du capuchon vissé sur le corps d'habillage.Referring now to Figures 5 and 6 relating to a second embodiment of the makeup assembly according to the invention, it can be seen that the container 102 is constituted, as for the first variant, by a cylindrical covering body 104 which surrounds a reservoir 106, the reservoir 106 being capable of sliding in translation inside the covering body 104. For simplicity, the similar elements of the first and second embodiments have been designated, for the second embodiment, by reference numbers increased by 100 compared to the references used for the first embodiment. The upper part of the makeup assembly of Figures 5 and 6 has not been shown, since it is strictly identical to that of the first embodiment. The reservoir 106 contains the makeup product which must be dispensed by means of the brush 145 placed at the end of the rod 144 secured to the cap screwed onto the covering body.

L'extrémité-base du corps d'habillage 104, c'est-à-dire celle qui ne porte pas le capuchon de l'ensemble de maquillage, est une extrémité ouverte comportant intérieurement un jonc d'encliquetage 166. Dans cette extrémité ouverte du corps d'habillage 104 vient s'encliqueter l'extrémité libre d'un manchon 164 dont la partie supérieure ouverte comporte extérieurement une gorge d'encliquetage susceptible de recevoir le jonc d'encliquetage 166 pour assurer la solidari- sation du manchon 164 à la base du corps d'habillage 104. L'extrémité du manchon 164 qui est opposée à celle qui se fixe sur le corps d'habillage 104 comporte un fond 163 dans la zone centrale duquel est disposé un manchon qui porte intérieurement un filetage femelle 162. Le manchon 164 a la forme d'une cuvette cylindrique et reçoit intérieurement la partie basse du réservoir 106, ladite partie basse ayant un diamètre légèrement inférieur à celui du reste du réservoir 106 pour compenser l'épaisseur de la paroi latérale du manchon 164.The base end of the covering body 104, that is to say the one which does not carry the cap of the make-up assembly, is an open end internally comprising a snap ring 166. In this open end of the covering body 104 snaps into place the free end of a sleeve 164, the open upper part of which externally comprises a latching groove capable of receiving the latching rod 166 in order to secure the sleeve 164 to the base of the covering body 104. The end of the sleeve 164 which is opposite to that which is fixed on the covering body 104 has a bottom 163 in the central zone of which is disposed a sleeve which internally carries a female thread 162 The sleeve 164 has the shape of a cylindrical cup and internally receives the lower part of the tank 106, said lower part having a diameter slightly smaller than that of the rest of the tank 106 to compensate for the thickness. r of the side wall of the sleeve 164.

Sur le manchon 164 est disposée extérieurement une bague de réglage 105 qui constitue une cuvette cylindrique dont la paroi latérale est disposée dans le prolongement de la paroi latérale du corps d'habillage 104. La bague de réglage 105 comporte un fond 161 qui vient en vis-à-vis du fond 163 du manchon 164. Le fond 161 porte selon son axe une saillie cylindrique sur laquelle est pratiqué extérieurement un filetage mâle 160. L'extrémité du filetage mâle 160 qui est opposée à la zone de raccordement avec le fond 161 vient en appui contre le fond 123 du réservoir 106. Le filetage mâle 160 coopère avec le filetage femelle 162, de sorte que par vissage, la bague de réglage 105 peut se déplacer axialement par rapport au manchon 164 et donc par rapport au corps d'habillage 104. Au cours d'un tel déplacement, la bague de réglage 105 pousse le réservoir 106 à l'intérieur du corps d'habillage 104 en provoquant sa translation vers l'organe d'essorage et, par conséquent, la compression de la bague dudit organe d'essorage. Un mouvement de dévissage de la bague de réglage 105 entraîne le mouvement de translation inverse du réservoir 106 qui est maintenu en appui contre l'extrémité du filetage mâle 160 par l'effort élastique exercé sur lui par l'organe d'essorage. Pour éviter tout risque de désolidarisation de la bague de réglage 105 par rapport au manchon 164, on prévoit extérieurement sur le manchon 164 une nervure annulaire 167 qui est logée dans un lamage annulaire 168 ménagé à l'intérieur de la bague de réglage 105, sur la paroi latérale de celle-ci; la hauteur du lamage annulaire 168 est suffisante pour permettre la translation voulue de la bague de réglage 105 par rapport au manchon 164. Au moment de la mise en place de la bague de réglage 105 sur le manchon 164, la nervure annulaire 167 vient se positionner dans le lamage annulaire 168 par déformation élastique de la paroi latérale de la bague de réglage 105.On the sleeve 164 is disposed externally an adjustment ring 105 which constitutes a cylindrical cup whose side wall is arranged in the extension of the side wall of the covering body 104. The adjustment ring 105 has a bottom 161 which comes in screw -with respect to the bottom 163 of the sleeve 164. The bottom 161 carries along its axis a cylindrical projection on which an external thread 160 is made externally. The end of the male thread 160 which is opposite to the zone of connection with the bottom 161 bears against the bottom 123 of the tank 106. The male thread 160 cooperates with the female thread 162, so that by screwing, the adjusting ring 105 can move axially relative to the sleeve 164 and therefore relative to the body covering 104. During such a movement, the adjusting ring 105 pushes the reservoir 106 inside the covering body 104 by causing its translation towards the wiper member and, consequently, the compression of the ring of said wiper member. A movement of unscrewing the adjustment ring 105 causes the reverse translation movement of the reservoir 106 which is held in abutment against the end of the male thread 160 by the elastic force exerted on it by the wiping member. To avoid any risk of separation of the adjustment ring 105 from the sleeve 164, an annular rib 167 is provided externally on the sleeve 164 which is housed in an annular countersink 168 formed inside the adjustment ring 105, on the side wall thereof; the height of the annular countersink 168 is sufficient to allow the desired translation of the adjustment ring 105 relative to the sleeve 164. When the adjustment ring 105 is placed on the sleeve 164, the annular rib 167 is positioned in the annular countersink 168 by elastic deformation of the side wall of the adjustment ring 105.

Ce second mode de réalisation du moyen de commande permettant d'assurer la translation du réservoir par rapport au corps d'habillage et la compression de l'organe d'essorage présente l'avantage d'une grande simplicité de réalisation et de montage. Les avantages définis pour le premier mode de réalisation se retrouvent pour ce deuxième mode de réalisation.This second embodiment of the control means making it possible to ensure the translation of the reservoir with respect to the covering body and the compression of the wiping member has the advantage of great simplicity of construction and assembly. The advantages defined for the first embodiment are found for this second embodiment.

On peut associer à l'ensemble de maquillage qui vient d'être décrit des moyens de repérage permettant de visualiser le degré de compression de l'organe d'essorage. Les figures 7 et 8 montrent un ensemble analogue à celui des figures 5 et 6 comportant des moyens de repérage réalisés d'une manière particulièrement simple, ne faisant pas appel à la technique du marquage à chaud. Les éléments de l'ensemble des figures 7 et 8, analogues à ceux de l'ensemble des figures 5 et 6 ont été, en règle générale, désignés par des chiffres de référence supérieurs de 100 à ceux utilisés pour ce dernier ensemble.It is possible to associate with the makeup assembly which has just been described locating means making it possible to display the degree of compression of the wiping member. Figures 7 and 8 show an assembly similar to that of Figures 5 and 6 comprising locating means produced in a particularly simple manner, not using the hot stamping technique. The elements of the assembly of FIGS. 7 and 8, analogous to those of the assembly of FIGS. 5 and 6 have, as a general rule, been designated by reference numbers greater than 100 than those used for the latter assembly.

Le corps d'habillage 204 est identique au corps d'habillage 104, à ceci près que sa bordure inférieure comporte une échancrure en U 269, de faible hauteur et de faible largeur, dont le rôle est indiqué plus loin.The covering body 204 is identical to the covering body 104, except that its lower edge has a U-shaped notch 269, of small height and of small width, the role of which is indicated below.

Le manchon 264 a également une structure sensiblement identique à celle du manchon 164; cependant, conformément à ce troisième mode de réalisation, il doit nécessairement être d'une couleur différente de celle du corps 204. Le manchon 264, également réalisé en matière plastique, mais ayant une couleur différente de celle du corps d'habillage 204, est constitué par une jupe cylindrique 270 raccordée à un fond 263 présentant une ouverture centrale bordée par une jupe 271, également cylindrique, mais plus courte que la jupe périphérique 270, dirigée vers l'intérieur du manchon 264 et portant intérieurement un filetage femelle 262.The sleeve 264 also has a structure substantially identical to that of the sleeve 164; however, in accordance with this third embodiment, it must necessarily be of a color different from that of the body 204. The sleeve 264, also made of plastic, but having a color different from that of the covering body 204, is constituted by a cylindrical skirt 270 connected to a bottom 263 having a central opening bordered by a skirt 271, also cylindrical, but shorter than the peripheral skirt 270, directed towards the inside of the sleeve 264 and internally carrying a female thread 262.

La bordure libre intérieure 272 de la jupe cylindrique 270 est biseautée, de manière à faciliter le coulissement relatif entre le réservoir 206 et le manchon 264, lors du montage de l'ensemble de maquillage 201.The internal free edge 272 of the cylindrical skirt 270 is bevelled, so as to facilitate the relative sliding between the reservoir 206 and the sleeve 264, during assembly of the makeup assembly 201.

Par ailleurs, la jupe 270 porte extérieurement, au voisinage du fond 263 du manchon 264, une nervure annulaire 267. Entre cette nervure 267 et la bordure libre de la jupe 270, cette dernière présente successivement un décrochement vers l'extérieur, situé sensiblement à mi-hauteur de ladite jupe 270, de façon à ménager une portée annulaire 267a, puis une nervure annulaire 274, située sensiblement à mi-distance entre la portée 267a et la bordure libre de la jupe 270. Immédiatement au-dessus de la nervure 274, la jupe 270 présente une épaisseur sensiblement identique à celle qu'elle a dans sa partie inférieure, puis à partir d'un point situé au voisinage de la bordure libre, l'épaisseur de la jupe 270 augmente à nouveau, de manière à constituer un bourrelet annulaire 273, permettant l'accrochage du manchon 264 dans l'extrémité ouverte du corps 204, le bourrelet 273 venant alors se placer derrière un jonc périphérique d'encliquetage 212 que porte le corps d'habillage 204 à son extrémité inférieure.Furthermore, the skirt 270 carries externally, in the vicinity of the bottom 263 of the sleeve 264, an annular rib 267. Between this rib 267 and the free edge of the skirt 270, the latter successively presents a recess towards the outside, located substantially at mid-height of said skirt 270, so as to provide an annular bearing 267a, then an annular rib 274, located substantially midway between the bearing 267a and the free edge of the skirt 270. Immediately above the rib 274 , the skirt 270 has a thickness substantially identical to that which it has in its lower part, then from a point located in the vicinity of the free edge, the thickness of the skirt 270 increases again, so as to constitute an annular bead 273, allowing the coupling of the sleeve 264 in the open end of the body 204, the bead 273 then being placed behind a peripheral snap ring 212 that the body of ha billage 204 at its lower end.

La nervure annulaire 274 comporte, en direction de la bordure libre de la jupe 270, un appendice qui est disposé perpendiculairement à ladite nervure 274 et qui constitue un ergot 275 susceptible de venir se loger dans l'échancrure 269 de la bordure inférieure du corps d'habillage 204 en position d'assemblage de l'ensemble de maquillage 201.The annular rib 274 comprises, in the direction of the free edge of the skirt 270, an appendage which is arranged perpendicular to said rib 274 and which constitutes a lug 275 capable of being received in the notch 269 of the lower edge of the body d dressing 204 in the assembly position of the makeup assembly 201.

La bague de réglage 205, qui ferme l'ensemble 201 à sa partie inférieure, est également sensiblement identique à la bague 105; sa couleur doit toutefois être différente de celle du manchon 264; elle est constituée par une jupe cylindrique 276 raccordée à un fond 261 présentant un diamètre extérieur sensiblement égal à celui du corps d'habillage 204 et portant, selon son axe, une saillie cylindrique 277 sur laquelle est pratiqué extérieurement un filetage mâle 260. En position d'assemblage de l'ensemble de maquillage 201, le fond 261 de la bague de réglage 205 vient en vis-a-vis du fond 263 du manchon 264 et le filetage mâle 260 coopère avec le filetage femelle 262, la bordure libre de la saillie 277 venant en appui contre le fond 223 du réservoir 206 qui est décrit plus loin. Ainsi, par vissage, la bague de réglage 205 peut se déplacer axialement par rapport au manchon 264 et donc par rapport au corps d'habillage 204. Pour éviter tout risque de désolidarisation de la bague de réglage 205 par rapport au manchon 264, on prévoit un lamage annulaire 268 ménagé à l'intérieur de la jupe 276 de la bague 205. Ce lamage 268, dont la hauteur est suffisante pour permettre la translation voulue de la bague 205 par rapport au manchon 264, sert de logement à la nervure annulaire 267 du manchon 264.The adjustment ring 205, which closes the assembly 201 at its lower part, is also substantially identical to the ring 105; its color must however be different from that of the sleeve 264; it consists of a cylindrical skirt 276 connected to a bottom 261 having an outside diameter substantially equal to that of the covering body 204 and carrying, along its axis, a cylindrical projection 277 on which a male thread 260 is made externally. In position assembly of the make-up assembly 201, the bottom 261 of the adjustment ring 205 faces the bottom 263 of the sleeve 264 and the male thread 260 cooperates with the female thread 262, the free edge of the projection 277 coming to bear against the bottom 223 of the reservoir 206 which is described below. Thus, by screwing, the adjusting ring 205 can move axially relative to the sleeve 264 and therefore relative to the covering body 204. To avoid any risk of separation of the adjusting ring 205 from the sleeve 264, provision is made an annular counterbore 268 formed inside the skirt 276 of the ring 205. This counterbore 268, the height of which is sufficient to allow the desired translation of the ring 205 relative to the sleeve 264, serves as a housing for the annular rib 267 of sleeve 264.

Pour faciliter la manoeuvre de la bague de réglage 205, cette dernière présente extérieurement, sur environ les 2/3 de sa hauteur, à partir du fond 261, des stries axiales 278.To facilitate the operation of the adjustment ring 205, the latter has externally, over approximately 2/3 of its height, from the bottom 261, axial grooves 278.

Par ailleurs, au voisinage de la bordure libre de la jupe 276, dans la partie non striée de celle-ci et au-dessus du lamage 268, sont pratiquées trois ouvertures circulaires 279, 280 et 281 dont les centres sont disposés dans un même plan perpendiculaire à l'axe de la bague 205 et dont les diamètres vont en augmentant.Furthermore, in the vicinity of the free edge of the skirt 276, in the non-striated part of it Ci and above the counterbore 268, three circular openings 279, 280 and 281 are made, the centers of which are arranged in the same plane perpendicular to the axis of the ring 205 and the diameters of which are increasing.

Le corps d'habillage 204 et le manchon 264 délimitent un espace intérieur dans lequel se trouve logé le réservoir 206 identique au réservoir 106 et se composant d'un fourreau tubulaire 222 réuni, à sa base, à un fond 223 et ouvert à sa partie supérieure. Le fourreau tubulaire 222 comporte, entre sa bordure libre et le fond 223, une partie cylindrique 222a dont le diamètre extérieur est légèrement inférieur au diamètre intérieur du corps 204, puis, dans sa région inférieure, une partie cylindrique 222b de diamètre plus faible, de manière à pouvoir compenser l'épaisseur de la paroi latérale du manchon 264, les parties 222a et 222b étant réunies par un épaulement 222c de forme tronconique, s'évasant vers l'ouverture libre du réservoir 206.The covering body 204 and the sleeve 264 delimit an interior space in which is housed the reservoir 206 identical to the reservoir 106 and consisting of a tubular sheath 222 joined, at its base, to a bottom 223 and open to its part superior. The tubular sheath 222 comprises, between its free edge and the bottom 223, a cylindrical part 222a whose external diameter is slightly less than the internal diameter of the body 204, then, in its lower region, a cylindrical part 222b of smaller diameter, so as to be able to compensate for the thickness of the lateral wall of the sleeve 264, the parts 222a and 222b being joined by a shoulder 222c of frustoconical shape, widening towards the free opening of the reservoir 206.

Au voisinage de sa bordure libre, la paroi interne de la partie 222a du réservoir 206 comporte un bourrelet annulaire 229, au-dessus duquel elle présente un décrochement annulaire 230 vers l'extérieur.In the vicinity of its free edge, the internal wall of the part 222a of the reservoir 206 comprises an annular bead 229, above which it has an annular recess 230 towards the outside.

L'organe d'essorage 207, la bague 208, le capot 203, la tige 245 et la brosse 244 sont strictement identiques à ceux du premier mode de réalisation décrit. Leurs éléments portent des chiffres de référence supérieurs de 200 à ceux des éléments analogues de ce premier mode de réalisation.The wiper 207, the ring 208, the cover 203, the rod 245 and the brush 244 are strictly identical to those of the first embodiment described. Their elements bear reference numbers 200 greater than those of similar elements of this first embodiment.

Le montage de l'ensemble de maquillage 201 s'effectue comme celui de l'ensemble 101. Si le vissage est effectué à fond, comme c'est le cas représenté sur la figure 8, la nervure 267 est en appui contre la bordure du lamage 268 qui est voisine du fond 261 de la bague 205, et la bordure libre de cette dernière vient à proximité de la nervure 274 du manchon 264.The assembly of the makeup assembly 201 is carried out like that of the assembly 101. If the screwing is carried out thoroughly, as is the case shown in FIG. 8, the rib 267 is in abutment against the edge of the the counterbore 268 which is close to the bottom 261 of the ring 205, and the free edge of the latter comes close to the rib 274 of the sleeve 264.

Par ailleurs, lorsque la bague 205 est mise en place sur le manchon 264, on peut voir, à travers les orifices 279, 280 et 281, la couleur du manchon 264, qui, comme on l'a indiqué ci-dessus, est différente de celle de la bague 205. Sont ainsi constitués trois repères dont le rôle est décrit plus loin.Furthermore, when the ring 205 is placed on the sleeve 264, it can be seen, through the orifices 279, 280 and 281, the color of the sleeve 264, which, as indicated above, is different that of the ring 205. Three marks are thus formed, the role of which is described below.

Lorsque l'on introduit le sous-ensemble constitué par le manchon 264 et la bague de réglage 205 dans le corps 204 par son ouverture opposée au goulot 210 et qu'on le fait coulisser dans ledit corps 204 jusqu'à réaliser son accrochage par passage du bourrelet 273 du manchon 264 derrière le bourrelet 212 du corps 204, l'ergot 275 du manchon 264 apparaît dans l'échancrure 269 du corps 204. Comme le corps 204 et le manchon 264 sont de couleur différente, il est ainsi constitué un repère dont le rôle est également indiqué plus loin.When the subassembly consisting of the sleeve 264 and the adjustment ring 205 is introduced into the body 204 by its opening opposite to the neck 210 and it is made to slide in said body 204 until it is hooked by passage of the bead 273 of the sleeve 264 behind the bead 212 of the body 204, the lug 275 of the sleeve 264 appears in the notch 269 of the body 204. As the body 204 and the sleeve 264 are of different color, it is thus formed a reference whose role is also indicated below.

Si le manchon 264 est complètement vissé à l'intérieur de la bague 205, l'ergot 275 se situe au droit de t'orifice 279 de plus petit diamètre, et l'organe d'essorage 207 se trouve à l'état de compression axiale maximale, ce qui est le cas de la figure 8. En effet, la bague de réglage 205, a, dans cette position, par l'extrémité libre de la saillie 277, poussé complètement le réservoir 206 à l'intérieur du corps d'habillage 204 en provoquant sa translation vers l'organe d'essorage 207, et par conséquent la compression maximale de la bague 232 b dudft organe d'essorage 207.If the sleeve 264 is completely screwed inside the ring 205, the lug 275 is located at the right of the orifice 279 of smaller diameter, and the wiper member 207 is in the compression state maximum axial, which is the case in FIG. 8. Indeed, the adjustment ring 205, has, in this position, by the free end of the projection 277, completely pushed the reservoir 206 inside the body d 'covering 204 by causing it to translate towards the wiper member 207, and consequently the maximum compression of the ring 232 b dudft wiper member 207.

Un mouvement de dévissage de la bague de réglage 205 entraîne le mouvement de translation inverse du réservoir 206 qui reste constamment maintenu en appui contre l'extrémité libre de la saillie 277 par l'effort élastique exercé sur lui par l'organe d'essorage 207.A movement of unscrewing the adjustment ring 205 causes the reverse translation movement of the reservoir 206 which remains constantly pressed against the free end of the projection 277 by the elastic force exerted on it by the wiping member 207 .

Dans ce mouvement de dévissage, l'orifice 280 de diamètre moyen puis l'orifice 281 de plus grand diamètre viennent successivement en regard de l'ergot 275, ce qui indique que l'organe d'essorage 207 se trouve respectivement dans une position de compression axiale moyenne, puis dans une position de compression axiale minimale.In this unscrewing movement, the orifice 280 of average diameter then the orifice 281 of larger diameter come successively opposite the lug 275, which indicates that the wiper member 207 is respectively in a position of medium axial compression, then in a minimum axial compression position.

Ensuite, on remplit le récipient 202 que l'on vient de constituer par du mascara puis on vient fixer le capuchon 203, duquel on a rendu solidaire la tige 244 portant la brosse 245, par vissage sur le goulot 210 du corps 204.Then, the container 202 which has just been made up is filled with mascara and then the cap 203 is fixed, from which the rod 244 carrying the brush 245 has been made integral, by screwing onto the neck 210 of the body 204.

Cet ensemble de maquillage fonctionne de la façon suivante:This makeup set works as follows:

Lorsque la brosse 245 est extraite du réservoir 206 alors que la bague de réglage 205 se situe dans une position telle que t'orifice 281 se situe au droit de l'ergot 275, la lèvre d'essorage 232 se trouve dans une position où elle assurera un essorage de force minimale, ce qui signifie que la quantité de mascara recueillie par la brosse sera maximale. L'utilisateur associe donc l'idée d'une ouverture 281 de plus grand diamètre à une ouverture maximale de la lèvre d'essorage 232, donc à un maquillage avec une quantité importante de mascara.When the brush 245 is extracted from the reservoir 206 while the adjustment ring 205 is in a position such that the orifice 281 is located in line with the lug 275, the wiping lip 232 is in a position where it will ensure a minimal force spin, which means that the amount of mascara collected by the brush will be maximum. The user therefore associates the idea of an opening 281 of larger diameter with a maximum opening of the wiping lip 232, therefore with makeup with a large amount of mascara.

Si l'utilisateur désire se maquiller à l'aide d'une brosse moins chargée en mascara, il lui suffit de faire pivoter la bague de réglage 205, cette manoeuvre étant facilitée par la présence des stries 278 sur la paroi externe 276 de la bague 205, et ayant pour résultat de faire monter verticalement le réservoir 206 dont la bordure supérieure et la bague 208 qui lui est associée compriment uniformément la bague périphérique 232b de l'organe d'essorage 207. Suivant l'ampleur que l'on a donnée au mouvement de pivotement de la bague 205, apparaissent successivement, en face de l'ergot 275, l'orifice 280 de moyen diamètre, puis l'orifice 279 de petit diamètre, indiquant respectivement que la quantité de mascara qui pourra être recueillie sur la brosse 245 diminue proportionnellement, compte tenu de la force croissante de l'essorage.If the user wishes to apply makeup using a brush less loaded with mascara, it suffices to rotate the adjustment ring 205, this maneuver being facilitated by the presence of the grooves 278 on the outer wall 276 of the ring 205, and having the result of causing the reservoir 206 to rise vertically, the upper edge and the ring 208 associated therewith uniformly compress the peripheral ring 232b of the wiper member 207. According to the magnitude which has been given at the pivoting movement of the ring 205, appear successively, opposite the lug 275, the orifice 280 of medium diameter, then the orifice 279 of small diameter, respectively indicating that the quantity of mascara which can be collected on the brush 245 decreases proportionally, taking into account the increasing force of the spin.

Il est bien entendu que les modes de réalisation ci-dessus décrits ne sont aucunement limitatifs et pourront donner lieu à toutes modifications désirables, sans sortir pour cela du cadre de l'invention, tel qu'est défini dans les revendications.It is understood that the embodiments described above are in no way limiting and may give rise to any desirable modifications, without departing from the scope of the invention, as defined in the claims.
