Description

La présente invention concerne un étui pour bâtons de produits pâteux cosmétiques, pharmaceutiques ou analogues, du type décrit dans le préambule de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to a case for sticks of pasty cosmetic, pharmaceutical or similar products, of the type described in the preamble of claim 1.

Un étui de ce type est déjà connu par le document DE-U-8 528 786. Dans l'étui décrit dans ce document, l'extrémité libre de l'élément tubulaire de l'embase est pourvu d'ergots d'encliquetages faisant radialement saillie vers l'extérieur, pour assurer la retenue de la jupe de la douille interne entre ces ergots à l'épaulement pourvu sur la face périphérique de l'élément tubulaire et un lest placé dans le fond de cet embase. Lors de l'assemblage de l'étui, la jupe est emmanchée à force sur l'élément tubulaire de l'embase.A case of this type is already known from document DE-U-8 528 786. In the case described in this document, the free end of the tubular element of the base is provided with snap lugs making radially projecting outwards, to ensure the retention of the skirt of the internal sleeve between these lugs at the shoulder provided on the peripheral face of the tubular element and a ballast placed in the bottom of this base. During assembly of the case, the skirt is force fitted onto the tubular element of the base.

Le mode d'assemblage de cet étui connu présente les inconvénients majeurs que l'emmanchement à force de la jupe sur l'élément tubulaire occasionne des fortes contraintes radiales dans les parties à assembler. Par conséquent il existe un grand risque de formation de fissures dans la jupe et/ou l'élément tubulaire. D'autre part, ce mode ne permet pas l'obtention d'une qualité de blocage en rotation suffisante.The method of assembling this known case has the major drawbacks that the force fitting of the skirt onto the tubular element causes strong radial stresses in the parts to be assembled. Consequently, there is a great risk of cracks forming in the skirt and / or the tubular element. On the other hand, this mode does not allow obtaining a sufficient quality of rotation blocking.

La présente invention a pour but de proposer un étui du type considéré qui pâlit à l'inconvénient des étuis de l'état de la technique.The object of the present invention is to propose a case of the type considered which fades to the disadvantage of the cases of the state of the art.

Ce but est atteint grâce aux caractéristiques qui sont énoncées dans la partie caractérisante de la revendication 1. En effet, du fait que les ergots d'encliquetage sont prévus à l'extrémité de tenons axiaux qui, grâce à leur configuration, présentent une certaine souplesse, ces ergots peuvent s'effacer lors de l'emmanchement de la jupe de la douille interne sur l'élément tubulaire de l'embase ce qui exclut le risque d'une fissuration qui constitue l'inconvénient majeur de l'étui décrit dans le document DE-U-8 528 786. D'autre part, la solidarisation en rotation de la jupe et de l'élément tubulaire est assurée, d'une manière efficace, par des moyens complémentaires de solidarisation en rotation prévue sur la face interne et la face externe de la jupe et de l'élément tubulaire.This object is achieved thanks to the characteristics which are set out in the characterizing part of claim 1. Indeed, because the snap lugs are provided at the end of axial pins which, thanks to their configuration, have a certain flexibility , these pins can be erased when the skirt of the internal sleeve is fitted onto the tubular element of the base, which excludes the risk of cracking, which constitutes the major drawback of the case described in document DE-U-8 528 786. On the other hand, the connection in rotation of the skirt and the tubular element is provided, in an efficient manner, by complementary means for securing in rotation provided on the internal face and the external face of the skirt and of the tubular element.

Il est déjà connu par le document FR-A-2 161 340, de solidariser, dans un étui pour bâtons de produits pâteux cosmétiques ou pharmaceutiques, une embase et une douille interne à l'aide de portions cannelées sur des surfaces devant être solidarisées. Mais, dans cet étui connu, l'embase et la douille interne sont bloqués axialement par une collerette annulaire prévue à l'extrémité libre de la douille externe, par rapport à laquelle l'embase tourne, pour assurer le déplacement axial du bâton de produit pâteux la collerette s'engageant dans une rainure de l'embase, au-dessus de la partie cannelée de celle-ci. On peut considérer que dans ce cas, le problème de la fissuration est résolu du fait que la paroi de l'embase est rendue relativement souple, grâce à la dimunition de son épaisseur au niveau de la rainure annulaire et du fait que la collerette est prévue à l'extrémité libre une troisième pièce, c'est-à-dire de la douille externe. Or, l'utilisation des moyens de solidarisation en rotation, constitués par des parties cannelées selon ce document, dans l'étui décrit dans le document DE-U-8 528 786 ne résoudrait pas le problème de la fissuration du fait que les contraintes sont produites lors de l'emmanchement à force de la jupe sur l'élément tubulaire de l'embase en passant par les crochets qui ne peuvent s'effacer que difficilement puisqu'ils sont prévus directement à l'extrémité libre de l'élément tubulaire, aucun moyen assurant une certaine élasticité n'étant prévu.It is already known from document FR-A-2 161 340, to fasten, in a case for sticks of pasty cosmetic or pharmaceutical products, a base and an internal sleeve using grooved portions on surfaces to be fastened. However, in this known case, the base and the internal sleeve are blocked axially by an annular flange provided at the free end of the external sleeve, relative to which the base rotates, to ensure the axial displacement of the stick of product. pasty the collar engaging in a groove of the base, above the grooved part thereof. We can consider that in this case, the problem of cracking is solved because the wall of the base is made relatively flexible, thanks to the reduction of its thickness at the level of the annular groove and of the fact that the flange is provided. at the free end a third part, that is to say of the external sleeve. However, the use of means for securing in rotation, constituted by grooved parts according to this document, in the case described in document DE-U-8 528 786 would not solve the problem of cracking because the stresses are produced during the press fit of the skirt on the tubular element of the base by passing through the hooks which can only be easily erased since they are provided directly at the free end of the tubular element, no means ensuring a certain elasticity being provided.

Cette élasticité qui manquerait à un étui obtenu par combinaison des deux documents de l'état de la technique, est procurée dans le cas de l'invention par le fait que les ergots d'encliquetage se trouvent aux extrémités de tenons axiaux. Ceux-ci présentent une certaine souplesse qui assure l'effacement élastique des ergots d'encliquetage lors de l'emmanchement de la jupe sur l'élément tubulaire de l'embase. Ces tenons porteurs d'ergots d'encliquetage ne découlent pas de façon évidente de l'état de la technique, ce qui signifie que l'objet de la revendication principale est brevetable par rapport à cet état de la technique.This elasticity which would be lacking in a case obtained by combining the two documents of the state of the art, is provided in the case of the invention by the fact that the latching lugs are located at the ends of axial tenons. These have a certain flexibility which ensures the elastic erasure of the latching lugs when the skirt is fitted onto the tubular element of the base. These pins carrying latching pins do not clearly follow from the state of the art, which means that the subject-matter of the main claim is patentable in relation to this state of the art.

D'autres caractéristiques avantageuses de l'invention font les objets de revendications dépendantes.Other advantageous features of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.

L'invention se décrit plus en détail ci-après, en se référant aux dessins annexés, donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple et dans lesquels :

  • La figure 1 est une vue partielle, en perspective éclatée illustrant le mécanisme de fixation de la douille interne d'un étui de rouge à lèvres sur une embase.
  • La figure 2 est une vue en coupe axiale de l'étui de la figure précédente, en position fixée de la douille sur l'embase.
  • La figure 3 est une vue en coupe radiale suivant la ligne III-III de la figure 2.
The invention is described in more detail below, with reference to the accompanying drawings, given solely by way of example and in which:
  • Figure 1 is a partial exploded perspective view illustrating the mechanism for fixing the inner sleeve of a lipstick case on a base.
  • Figure 2 is an axial sectional view of the case of the previous figure, in the fixed position of the sleeve on the base.
  • FIG. 3 is a view in radial section along the line III-III of FIG. 2.

Sur les figures, on voit un étui E de bâton de rouge à lèvres, constitué de façon connue par un mécanisme incluant une douille externe 6, emprisonné dans un fourreau 7, sur la surface interne de laquelle a été ménagée une rainure hélicoïdale 11, ladite douille externe 6 étant emmanchée autour d'une douille interne 4 comportant un culot C sur laquelle la douille externe 6 prend appui. Cette douille interne 4 est pourvue de deux rainures longitudinales diamètralement opposées 12 destinées à recevoir deux tétons 9 également diamètralement opposés solidaires d'une cupule 8 supportant le bâton de rouge à lèvres et montée axialement coulissante à l'intérieur de la douille interne 4. Lesdites rainures longitudinales 12 comportent respectivement à leurs extrémités inférieure et supérieure des logements destinés à recevoir les mêmes tétons en fin de course de la cupule 8, tandis que cette cupule 8 est pourvue de nervures de renforcement 13 et d'éléments à fonction de frein 10.In the figures, we see a case E of lipstick stick, constituted in a known manner by a mechanism including an external sleeve 6, trapped in a sheath 7, on the internal surface of which has been formed a helical groove 11, said external sleeve 6 being fitted around an internal sleeve 4 having a base C on which the external sleeve 6 is supported. This internal sleeve 4 is provided with two diametrically opposite longitudinal grooves 12 intended to receive two nipples 9 also diametrically opposite, integral with a cup 8 supporting the lipstick stick and mounted axially sliding inside the internal sleeve 4. Said longitudinal grooves 12 respectively have at their lower and upper ends housings intended to receive the same pins at the end of travel of the cup 8, while this cup 8 is provided with reinforcing ribs 13 and elements with brake function 10.

Ce mécanisme est destiné à être fixé sur une embase de forme tubulaire 1 et comportant un fond 20 sur lequel est placé un lest 3 destiné à améliorer la stabilité de l'ensemble en position verticale.This mechanism is intended to be fixed on a base of tubular form 1 and comprising a bottom 20 on which is placed a ballast 3 intended to improve the stability of the assembly in the vertical position.

Afin de réaliser cette fixation, et comme ceci est plus particulièrement visible sur la figure 1, la douille interne 4 comporte dans sa paroi de fond une jupe 5 présentant une surface interne striée 19 alors que l'embase précitée 1 comporte un tube 2 formé par une première couronne 21 solidaire de la paroi de fond 20 de l'embase 1 et comportant sur sa partie supérieure des éléments d'encliquetage 14 en saillie vers la partie supérieure de l'ensemble, et reliés par des portions de couronne 17, lesdits éléments 14 et les portions de couronne 17 se situant dans le prolongement de la surface interne de la première couronne précitée 2. Cette première couronne 2 s'étend radialement au-delà des surfaces externes des éléments d'encliquetage 14, de manière à former une surface d'appui pour la douille interne 4. Ces éléments d'encliquetage 14 sont constitués par un tenon 16 dont la partie supérieure est formée par un ergot 15. Cet ergot 15 comporte une face plane supérieure 15a, une face 15b inclinée à 45° par rapport à cette face 15a, et une face inférieure bombée 15c raccordée à la surface externe du tenon 16 alors que ce tenon 16 s'étend légèrement radialement au-delà de la surface externe des portions de couronne 17 précitées.In order to achieve this attachment, and as is more particularly visible in FIG. 1, the internal sleeve 4 has in its bottom wall a skirt 5 having an internal striated surface 19 while the aforementioned base 1 comprises a tube 2 formed by a first crown 21 integral with the bottom wall 20 of the base 1 and comprising on its upper part snap-fastening elements 14 projecting towards the upper part of the assembly, and connected by portions of crown 17, said elements 14 and the crown portions 17 lying in the extension of the internal surface of the aforementioned first crown 2. This first crown 2 extends radially beyond the external surfaces of the latching elements 14, so as to form a surface support for the inner sleeve 4. These snap-fastening elements 14 consist of a lug 16, the upper part of which is formed by a lug 15. This lug 15 has a flat face su 15a, a face 15b inclined at 45 ° relative to this face 15a, and a curved lower face 15c connected to the external surface of the pin 16 while this pin 16 extends slightly radially beyond the external surface of the portions crown 17 above.

Ces portions de couronne de liaison des éléments d'encliquetage 14, s'étendent en hauteur jusqu'à environ la mi-hauteur de ces éléments d'encliquetage et comportent sur leur face externe des nervures 18 de forme sensiblement tétraédrique.These portions of the connecting ring of the snap-fastening elements 14 extend in height up to about half the height of these snap-on elements and have ribs 18 of substantially tetrahedral shape on their external face.

On notera que le tube 2 constitué par la première couronne 21, les éléments d'encliquetage 14 et les portions de couronne 17, sont réalisés dans un matériau élastiquement déformable.It will be noted that the tube 2 constituted by the first crown 21, the latching elements 14 and the crown portions 17 are made of an elastically deformable material.

En fonctionnement, et comme cela est plus particulièrement visible sur les figures 2 et 3, le mécanisme est fixé sur l'embase 1 par l'encliquetage de la douille interne 4 autour du tube 21 de l'embase 1 grâce à la contraction radiale vers l'intérieur des éléments d'encliquetage 14, lesquels de par leur forme, assurent un centrage automatique du mécanisme par rapport à l'embase 1, jusqu'à ce que la partie supérieure de la jupe 5 précitée soit amenée au niveau de la partie inférieure des ergots précités 15, entrainant le retour desdits ergots en position initiale, et que la partie inférieure de cette jupe 5 prenne appui sur ladite première couronne 2. Dans cette position, les nervures 18 des portions de couronne 17 coopèrent avec les stries 19 de la jupe 5 pour assurer un blocage satisfaisant de la rotation relative des deux pièces.In operation, and as is more particularly visible in FIGS. 2 and 3, the mechanism is fixed to the base 1 by the snap-fastening of the internal sleeve 4 around the tube 21 of the base 1 thanks to the radial contraction towards the interior of the latching elements 14, which by their shape, ensure automatic centering of the mechanism relative to the base 1, until the upper part of the aforementioned skirt 5 is brought to the level of the part lower of the aforementioned lugs 15, causing said lugs to return to the initial position, and for the lower part of this skirt 5 to bear on said first crown 2. In this position, the ribs 18 of the crown portions 17 cooperate with the ridges 19 of the skirt 5 to ensure satisfactory blocking of the relative rotation of the two parts.

On peut noter également que les décrochements formés par les éléments d'encliquetage 14 participent à ce blocage.It can also be noted that the recesses formed by the latching elements 14 participate in this blocking.

On notera que la souplesse de l'ensemble évite avantageusement les contraintes radiales subies par les pièces plastiques, dans le cas d'un emmanchement en force, dont il résulte une meilleure tenue dans le temps et l'élimination du risque de fissuration.It will be noted that the flexibility of the assembly advantageously avoids the radial stresses undergone by the plastic parts, in the case of a press fit, which results in better resistance over time and the elimination of the risk of cracking.

On a donc réalisé grâce à l'invention, un étui pour bâtons de produits pâteux, permettant une fixation précise et fiable de la douille interne sur l'embase.Thanks to the invention, a case for sticks of pasty products has therefore been produced, allowing precise and reliable fixing of the internal sleeve on the base.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est nullement limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et illustré qui n'a été donné qu'à titre d'exemple, mais peut comprendreOf course, the invention is in no way limited to the embodiment described and illustrated which has been given only by way of example, but may include
