Description

L'invention concerne un étui pour rouge à lèvres comprenant un corps dans lequel peut être monté un bâton de rouge à lèvres coulissant, inséré au centre d'un mécanisme élévateur par système rotatif comportant un cylindre métallique protecteur, et une coiffe montée clipsable sur une collerette de recentrage dudit corps.The invention relates to a lipstick case comprising a body in which a sliding lipstick stick can be mounted, inserted in the center of a lifting mechanism by a rotary system comprising a protective metal cylinder, and a cap mounted to be clipped onto a re-centering collar of said body.

Dans les étuis de rouge à lèvres de ce type, le bâton de rouge à lèvres est toujours exposé à l'air même quand il est rentré dans le corps. La présence de produits volatils dans le bâton de rouge à lèvres ou "raisin" produit par conséquent une dégradation de la qualité du produit dans le temps du fait de la fuite de ces produits volatils par la jonction non étanche entre la coiffe et le corps de l'étui. En effet, l'assemblage du corps et de la coiffe demande des jeux de fonctionnement pour donner une sensation de confort mais qui entraînent des passages d'air affectant la préservation de la qualité du produit.In lipstick cases of this type, the lipstick stick is always exposed to air even when it has entered the body. The presence of volatile products in the stick of lipstick or "grape" consequently produces a degradation of the quality of the product over time due to the leakage of these volatile products by the non-tight junction between the cap and the body of the case. Indeed, the assembly of the body and the cap requires operating games to give a feeling of comfort but which cause air passages affecting the preservation of the quality of the product.

Il est donc souhaitable de pouvoir réaliser une étanchéité parfaite lors de l'assemblage de la coiffe sur le corps, afin d'éviter d'avoir à incorporer des conservateurs dans le produit.It is therefore desirable to be able to achieve a perfect seal during the assembly of the cap on the body, in order to avoid having to incorporate preservatives in the product.

On a proposé (voir demande de brevet française non publiée n°93.10751) d'équiper la périphérie d'une collerette de recentrage d'une garniture d'étanchéité. Cette solution n'assure qu'une étanchéité pour la coiffe et cette étanchéité est en outre imparfaite parce que la garniture s'appuie sur une pièce en matière plastique, donc relativement imprécise.It has been proposed (see unpublished French patent application No. 93.10751) to equip the periphery of a recentering flange with a seal. This solution provides only a seal for the cap and this seal is also imperfect because the lining is supported on a plastic part, therefore relatively imprecise.

A cet effet, l'étui de rouge à lèvres selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que le corps de l'étui comporte au moins une garniture d'étanchéité inférieure et la coiffe de l'étui comporte au moins une garniture d'étanchéité supérieure, lesdites garnitures étant comprimées sur la paroi externe lisse du cylindre métallique renfermant le raisin.To this end, the lipstick case according to the invention is characterized in that the body of the case has at least one lower seal and the cover of the case has at least one seal upper, said linings being compressed on the smooth outer wall of the metal cylinder containing the grape.

De préférence, les garnitures d'étanchéité sont formées en un matériau synthétique souple à mémoire élastique.Preferably, the seals are formed from a flexible synthetic material with elastic memory.

La garniture d'étanchéité supérieure, par exemple sous forme d'une bague large, est fixée à la surface intérieure de la coiffe de l'étui par soudage ultrasonique. Lorsque la coiffe est assemblée sur le corps de l'étui, la garniture d'étanchéité supérieure se trouve comprimée contre la paroi externe lisse du cylindre métallique renfermant le raisin, assurant ainsi une étanchéité totale dans la coiffe.The upper seal, for example in the form of a wide ring, is fixed to the inner surface of the cover of the case by ultrasonic welding. When the cap is assembled on the body of the case, the upper seal is compressed against the smooth outer wall of the metal cylinder containing the grape, thus ensuring a total seal in the cap.

De préférence, la garniture d'étanchéité inférieure, présente dans le corps de l'étui, forme une seule pièce avec la collerette de recentrage. En effet, de manière avantageuse une garniture d'étanchéité sous forme de lèvre est située à la partie inférieure de la collerette de recentrage. Ainsi lors de l'assemblage de la collerette de recentrage sur le corps de l'étui contenant le cylindre métallique, la garniture d'étanchéité en forme de lèvre se trouve comprimée sur le cylindre métallique assurant une étanchéité totale dans le corps.Preferably, the lower seal, present in the body of the case, forms a single piece with the centering collar. Indeed, advantageously a seal in the form of a lip is located at the lower part of the refocusing flange. Thus during the assembly of the refocusing flange on the body of the case containing the metal cylinder, the lip-shaped seal is found compressed on the metal cylinder ensuring a total tightness in the body.

Selon une variante de réalisation de l'invention, la garniture d'étanchéité inférieure peut se présenter sous la forme d'une bague qui s'insère entre la base du corps et le cylindre métallique renfermant le raisin, ladite bague présentant une forme qui épouse la forme de la base du corps et dont les bords extérieurs s'étendent entre le corps de l'étui et le cylindre métallique.According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the lower seal may be in the form of a ring which is inserted between the base of the body and the metal cylinder containing the grape, said ring having a shape which matches the shape of the base of the body and the outer edges of which extend between the body of the case and the metal cylinder.

L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description suivante faite en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 représente une vue en coupe longitudinale d'un étui de tube de rouge à lèvres selon un exemple de réalisation préférée de l'invention,
  • la figure 2 représente une vue éclatée de l'étui de la figure 1, et
  • la figure 3 représente une vue en coupe longitudinale d'un étui de rouge à lèvres selon une variante de réalisation de l'invention.
The invention will be clearly understood on reading the following description made with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • FIG. 1 represents a view in longitudinal section of a lipstick tube case according to a preferred embodiment of the invention,
  • FIG. 2 represents an exploded view of the case of FIG. 1, and
  • Figure 3 shows a longitudinal sectional view of a lipstick case according to an alternative embodiment of the invention.

Les parties de gauche des figures 1 et 3 représentent l'invention et les parties de droite de ces mêmes figures représentent l'état de la technique.The left parts of Figures 1 and 3 represent the invention and the right parts of these same figures represent the state of the art.

L'étui, selon l'exemple de réalisation de l'invention représenté à la figure 1, comprend un corps 1 terminé à son extrémité supérieure par une collerette de recentrage 2, comportant un orifice central dans lequel est logé un cylindre métallique tournant 5 qui protège un bâton de rouge à lèvres, et une coiffe 6 fermant l'ensemble.The case, according to the embodiment of the invention shown in Figure 1, comprises a body 1 terminated at its upper end by a centering collar 2, comprising a central orifice in which is housed a rotating metal cylinder 5 which protects a stick of lipstick, and a cap 6 closing the assembly.

La coiffe 6 comporte une gorge périphérique interne 7 dans laquelle s'encliquètent des plots 8 prévus sur la partie de la collerette de recentrage 2 qui s'engage dans la coiffe 6.The cap 6 has an internal peripheral groove 7 into which studs 8 provided on the part of the centering collar 2 which engage in the cap 6 snap into place.

Une garniture d'étanchéité sous forme d'une bague 11 en un matériau synthétique souple à mémoire élastique est fixée dans la coiffe 6. Conformément à l'invention, ladite bague 11 est comprimée en A par la surface extérieure du cylindre métallique 5 qui s'engage dans la coiffe lors de l'assemblage de la coiffe 6 sur le corps 1 et plus exactement sur la collerette de recentrage 2. De préférence, la bague 11 est fixée sur la coiffe 6 par soudage ultrasonique.A seal in the form of a ring 11 of a flexible synthetic material with elastic memory is fixed in the cap 6. According to the invention, said ring 11 is compressed at A by the outer surface of the metal cylinder 5 which s 'engaged in the cap during assembly of the cap 6 on the body 1 and more exactly on the centering collar 2. Preferably, the ring 11 is fixed to the cap 6 by ultrasonic welding.

Une seconde garniture d'étanchéité 9, en matériau synthétique souple à mémoire élastique, est prévue dans le corps 1. Cette garniture d'étanchéité 9 forme une seule pièce avec la collerette de recentrage 2. Ladite garniture 9 se présente sous la forme d'une lèvre d'étanchéité sous la collerette 2 laquelle est assemblée par soudage ultrasonique sur le corps 1 de l'étui autour du cylindre métallique 5. Lors de l'assemblage de ces trois pièces, la garniture d'étanchéité 9 se trouve comprimée en B le long du cylindre métallique 5.A second seal 9, made of flexible synthetic material with elastic memory, is provided in the body 1. This seal 9 forms a single piece with the recentering collar 2. Said seal 9 is in the form of a sealing lip under the flange 2 which is assembled by ultrasonic welding on the body 1 of the case around the metal cylinder 5. During the assembly of these three parts, the sealing gasket 9 is compressed at B along the metal cylinder 5.

Il apparaît au vu de cet exemple de réalisation qu'on obtient à la fois une étanchéité dans la coiffe 6 de l'étui et dans son corps 1. On prévient de la sorte tous passages d'air lorsque l'étui est fermé, la compression du matériau synthétique souple à mémoire élastique contre la paroi lisse métallique du cylindre 5 créant une étanchéité parfaite.It appears in the light of this exemplary embodiment that a seal is obtained both in the cap 6 of the case and in its body 1. In this way, all air passages are prevented when the case is closed, compression of the flexible synthetic material with elastic memory against the smooth metal wall of the cylinder 5 creating a perfect seal.

Selon la variante de réalisation illustrée par la figure 3, une garniture d'étanchéité 12 présentant une forme adéquate est insérée entre la base 10 du corps 1 et le cylindre métallique protecteur 5, l'engagement dudit cylindre 5 dans le corps 1 comprimant la garniture 12 qui est en un matériau synthétique souple à mémoire élastique, contre la surface métallique extérieure du cylindre 5, assurant ainsi une parfaite étanchéité de la partie inférieure de l'étui dans la mesure où la collerette de recentrage 2 assemblée entre le corps 1 et le cylindre 5 comprime également contre le cylindre 5 métallique l'extrémité supérieure de la garniture 12.According to the variant embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, a seal 12 having an adequate shape is inserted between the base 10 of the body 1 and the protective metal cylinder 5, the engagement of said cylinder 5 in the body 1 compressing the lining 12 which is made of a flexible synthetic material with elastic memory, against the external metal surface of the cylinder 5, thus ensuring perfect sealing of the lower part of the case insofar as the refocusing flange 2 assembled between the body 1 and the cylinder 5 also compresses against the metal cylinder 5 the upper end of the lining 12.
