Description

La présente invention a trait à un ensemble de conditionnement et d'application d'un produit. L'invention est tout particulièrement adaptée pour le conditionnement et l'application des produits à viscosité relativement importante, tels qu'utilisés notamment dans le domaine de la cosmétique. A titre d'exemple non limitatifs, on peut citer les mascaras, les fonds de teint, les gels de coiffage, les ombres à paupières, les rouges à lèvres, etc..The present invention relates to a packaging and application unit of a product. The invention is particularly suitable for the packaging and application of relatively viscous products important, as used in particular in the field of cosmetics. AT By way of nonlimiting example, mention may be made of mascaras, foundations, styling gels, eye shadows, lipsticks, etc.

Traditionnellement, de tels produits sont conditionnés dans un réservoir formé d'un corps d'axe X, surmonté d'un col dont un bord libre délimite une ouverture située dans l'axe du réservoir. Un élément d'obturation obture de manière amovible ladite ouverture. L'élément d'obturation forme en outre un organe de préhension pour un applicateur solidaire d'une première extrémité d'un organe de liaison, la seconde extrémité de l'organe de liaison étant solidaire de l'élément d'obturation, ledit applicateur étant, en position fermée de l'élément d'obturation, situé à l'intérieur du réservoir de manière à prélever dudit produit.Traditionally, such products are packaged in a formed tank a body of axis X, surmounted by a collar of which a free edge delimits an opening located in the axis of the tank. A shutter element closes so removable said opening. The shutter element further forms a grip for an applicator secured to a first end of a member link, the second end of the link member being integral with the closure element, said applicator being, in the closed position of the element shutter, located inside the tank so as to withdraw said product.

Un des problèmes rencontrés dans ce type de conditionnement tient notamment au fait que, en raison de la viscosité relativement élevée de ces produits, une quantité non négligeable de produit reste accrochée aux parois internes du réservoir. L'applicateur centré dans le réservoir, ne peut prélever ce produit. De ce fait, une quantité substantielle de produit est inutilisable pour le consommateur. Ceci est bien sûr non satisfaisant. En outre, pour certaines applications, il peut être souhaitable, voire nécessaire, avant application, d'agiter le produit conditionné afin de l'homogénéiser. Une telle homogénéisation, notamment dans le cas de formules relativement visqueuses, ne peut être obtenue, simplement en secouant, même vivement, le dispositif.One of the problems encountered in this type of packaging is especially to the fact that due to the relatively high viscosity of these products, a significant amount of product remains attached to the walls internal parts of the tank. The applicator centered in the tank, can not withdraw this product. Therefore, a substantial amount of product is unusable for the consumer. This is of course unsatisfactory. In addition, for some applications, it may be desirable or even necessary before application, shake the packaged product in order to homogenize it. Such a homogenization, in particular in the case of relatively viscous formulas, cannot be obtained simply by shaking, even vigorously, the device.

Un certain nombre de solutions ont été proposées pour résoudre ces problèmes. Parmi celles-ci, on peut citer la solution décrite dans la demande de brevet EP-A-325 766. Selon ce document, un raclage des parois internes du réservoir est réalisé au moyen d'une pièce, sous forme d'une hélice, qui est entraínée en rotation lors du vissage/dévissage du bouchon servant à obturer le dispositif. Parmi les inconvénients inhérents à de tels dispositifs, on peut citer la complexité, la fragilité, et le coût de revient.A number of solutions have been proposed to resolve these problems. Among these, there may be mentioned the solution described in the application for Patent EP-A-325 766. According to this document, scraping of the internal walls of the tank is made by means of a part, in the form of a helix, which is rotated when screwing / unscrewing the plug used to seal the device. Among the drawbacks inherent in such devices, mention may be made complexity, fragility, and cost price.

Aussi, est-ce un des objets de l'invention que de fournir un ensemble de conditionnement et d'application d'un produit, notamment cosmétique, et qui résolve, en tout ou partie, les problèmes discutés précédemment en référence aux dispositifs conventionnels.It is therefore one of the objects of the invention to provide a set of packaging and application of a product, in particular a cosmetic product, which resolves, in whole or in part, the problems previously discussed with reference to conventional devices.

C'est en particulier un objet de l'invention que de fournir une solution simple, robuste, facile à utiliser, et efficace, aux problèmes du "colmatage" des parois internes du réservoir, et/ou de l'homogénéisation du produit conditionné.It is in particular an object of the invention to provide a simple solution, robust, easy to use, and effective, to the problems of "clogging" of the walls internal tank, and / or homogenization of the packaged product.

D'autres objets apparaítront de manière détaillée dans la description qui suit.Other objects will appear in detail in the description which follows.

Selon l'invention, ces objets sont atteints en réalisant un ensemble de conditionnement et d'application d'un produit, notamment cosmétique comprenant : un réservoir formé d'un corps d'axe X, surmonté d'un col dont un bord libre délimite une ouverture ; un élément d'obturation apte à obturer de manière amovible ladite ouverture, ledit élément d'obturation formant un organe de préhension pour un applicateur solidaire d'une première extrémité d'un organe de liaison, la seconde extrémité de l'organe de liaison étant solidaire de l'élément d'obturation, ledit applicateur étant, en position fermée de l'élément d'obturation, situé à l'intérieur du réservoir de manière à prélever dudit produit, caractérisé en ce que le col est d'axe Y, distinct de l'axe X du corps, et monté libre en rotation par rapport audit corps.According to the invention, these objects are achieved by producing a set of packaging and application of a product, in particular cosmetic comprising: a reservoir formed by an X-axis body, surmounted by a neck, one of which free edge delimits an opening; a shutter element capable of closing off said opening removably, said closure element forming a member grip for an applicator secured to a first end of a connecting member, the second end of the connecting member being integral with the closure element, said applicator being, in the closed position of the element shutter, located inside the tank so as to withdraw said product, characterized in that the neck is of axis Y, distinct from the axis X of the body, and mounted free to rotate relative to said body.

Ainsi, en faisant tourner le col du réservoir par rapport au corps, on provoque un mouvement de rotation de l'applicateur à l'intérieur du réservoir, de rayon sensiblement égal à la distance séparant les deux axes. En choisissant de manière appropriée la distance entre les deux axes, on peut soit provoquer un essuyage des parois internes du réservoir par l'applicateur, soit provoquer une simple agitation du contenu du réservoir, soit les deux. Le geste est simple. Le coût de revient de l'ensemble n'est pas augmenté de manière sensible, en faisant jouer à l'applicateur à la fois la fonction d'organe de prélèvement et d'application, et d'organe de raclage des parois et/ou d'homogénéisation du produit conditionné.Thus, by rotating the neck of the reservoir relative to the body, it causes a rotational movement of the applicator inside the reservoir, of radius substantially equal to the distance between the two axes. By choosing to appropriately the distance between the two axes we can either cause a wiping of the internal walls of the tank by the applicator, or cause a simple agitation of the contents of the tank, or both. The gesture is simple. The cost of the assembly is not increased significantly, in using the applicator both as a sampling device and for application, and for scraping walls and / or homogenizing the conditioned product.

Avantageusement, le col est solidaire d'une bague de montage, libre en rotation sur une ouverture formée par un bord libre du corps du réservoir.Advantageously, the neck is secured to a mounting ring, free in rotation on an opening formed by a free edge of the tank body.

Une telle bague de montage peut comporter autour de l'axe Y des moyens aptes à assurer l'essorage de l'applicateur, à l'intérieur du réservoir, lorsque l'applicateur est extrait du réservoir.Such a mounting ring may comprise around the axis Y means able to spin the applicator inside the tank when the applicator is removed from the reservoir.

Avantageusement, ladite bague de montage présente des reliefs, notamment des stries, aptes à favoriser la mise en rotation de la bague par rapport au corps. De telles stries peuvent être obtenues de moulage avec la bague.Advantageously, said mounting ring has reliefs, in particular streaks capable of promoting the rotation of the ring relative to the body. Such streaks can be obtained by molding with the ring.

De préférence, ledit col est monté par claquage sur le corps. Des moyens d'étanchéité appropriés, du type joint ou jupe d'étanchéité, peuvent être utilisés pour parfaire l'étanchéité du montage.Preferably, said collar is mounted by snapping onto the body. Means sealant, such as seal or skirt, can be used to perfect the sealing of the assembly.

Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, l'ensemble selon l'invention comporte des moyens formant butée angulaire, disposés entre le col et le corps, de manière à autoriser la rotation bidirectionnelle du col par rapport au corps sur seulement une portion angulaire donnée. De tels moyens peuvent comporter une dent de faible largeur, portée par la bague, et apte à venir en engagement avec une dent correspondante portée par le corps du réservoir au voisinage de son ouverture. Un tel mode de réalisation facilite la gestuelle d'utilisation de l'ensemble en permettant d'entraíner le col en rotation par rapport au corps du réservoir, et d'ouvrir/fermer le dispositif, par un seul et même geste. En réalité les deux actions sont sensiblement dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre. Aucune manipulation supplémentaire n'est requise pour obtenir l'action de raclage, et/ou d'homogénéisation de la formule.According to a preferred embodiment, the assembly according to the invention comprises means forming an angular stop, arranged between the neck and the body, so as to allow bidirectional rotation of the neck relative to the body on only a given angular portion. Such means can have a tooth of small width, carried by the ring, and able to come in engagement with a corresponding tooth carried by the tank body to the neighborhood of its opening. Such an embodiment facilitates gestures of use of the assembly allowing to train the neck in rotation by relation to the tank body, and to open / close the device, by one and same gesture. In reality the two actions are significantly in the extension of each other. No additional handling is required to obtain the scraping action, and / or homogenization of the formula.

Avantageusement, les moyens formant butée sont disposés de manière à autoriser une rotation bidirectionnelle du col par rapport au corps sur une portion angulaire d'environ 360°.Advantageously, the abutment means are arranged so as to allow a bidirectional rotation of the neck relative to the body on a angular portion of approximately 360 °.

De préférence encore, l'élément d'obturation est vissé sur le col, l'entraínement en rotation de l'élément d'obturation dans un premier sens, en vue de son dévissage, produisant d'abord la rotation du col par rapport au corps sur ladite portion angulaire puis, lorsque le col est en butée sur le corps, le dévissage de l'élément d'obturation, l'entraínement en rotation de l'élément d'obturation dans un second sens, opposé au premier, en vue du vissage de l'élément d'obturation, produisant le vissage de l'élément d'obturation sur le col et la rotation du col par rapport au corps sur ladite portion angulaire, jusqu'à ce que le col soit en butée angulaire par rapport au corps,.More preferably, the closure element is screwed onto the neck, the drive in rotation of the closure element in a first direction, in view of its unscrewing, first producing the rotation of the neck relative to the body on said angular portion then, when the neck is in abutment on the body, the unscrewing of the shutter element, the rotational drive of the shutter element in a second direction, opposite to the first, for the screwing of the element closure, producing the screwing of the closure element on the neck and the rotation of the neck relative to the body on said angular portion, until the neck is in angular abutment relative to the body ,.

Selon une forme possible de réalisation, l'axe Y est disposé par rapport à l'axe X de sorte que l'enveloppe latérale de l'applicateur soit proche de, voire sensiblement en contact avec, les parois internes du corps du réservoir.According to a possible embodiment, the Y axis is arranged relative to the axis X so that the side envelope of the applicator is close to, or even substantially in contact with the internal walls of the tank body.

L'applicateur peut être constitué d'une spatule, d'un pinceau, d'une brosse, d'un bloc de mousse, ou d'un feutre. De tels organes peuvent être floqués ou non, en fonction des caractéristiques d'application souhaitées.The applicator may consist of a spatula, a brush, a brush, a block of foam, or felt. Such organs may or may not be flocked, depending on the desired application characteristics.

Le produit peut être un produit cosmétique, notamment un mascara, un fond de teint, un fard à paupières, un gel de coiffage, un rouge à lèvres.The product can be a cosmetic product, in particular a mascara, a base of complexion, eyeshadow, styling gel, lipstick.

  • Figures 2A-2D illustrate a variant of the first embodiment of the packaging and application assembly according to the invention.

Dans la version illustrée aux figures 1A-1C, l'ensemble de conditionnement et d'application 1 comprend un réservoir 2 constitué d'un corps 3 de forme cylindrique de révolution, et d'axe X. Une première extrémité du corps est fermée par un fond 4. La seconde extrémité du corps 3 forme un bord libre 6 délimitant une ouverture 7. L'extrémité ouverte du corps 3 est en léger retrait par rapport au reste du corps, et présente une gorge 8 apte à recevoir par claquage, un bourrelet de claquage 9 formé sur la surface interne du bord libre d'une bague 10. La bague 10 présente une partie latérale 11 dont le diamètre extérieur est sensiblement égal au diamètre extérieur du corps 3. La bague 10 forme un col 12 relié à la partie latérale 11 par un épaulement transversal 13. En position montée de la bague de montage 10, l'axe Y du col 12 est décalé par rapport à l'axe X du réservoir 2. Dans cette position montée, la bague de montage 10 est immobile axialement par rapport au corps 2 et libre en rotation par rapport à ce dernier. Ainsi, le col 12 peut décrire un cercle ou une portion de cercle autour de l'axe X du réservoir 2In the version illustrated in FIGS. 1A-1C, the packaging assembly and application 1 comprises a reservoir 2 consisting of a body 3 of form cylindrical of revolution, and of axis X. A first end of the body is closed by a bottom 4. The second end of the body 3 forms a free edge 6 defining an opening 7. The open end of the body 3 is slightly recessed relative to the rest of the body, and has a groove 8 capable of receiving by breakdown, a breakdown bead 9 formed on the internal surface of the free edge of a ring 10. The ring 10 has a lateral part 11 whose diameter outside is substantially equal to the outside diameter of the body 3. The ring 10 forms a neck 12 connected to the lateral part 11 by a transverse shoulder 13. In the mounted position of the mounting ring 10, the Y axis of the neck 12 is offset relative to the axis X of the tank 2. In this assembled position, the ring mounting 10 is axially stationary relative to body 2 and free to rotate compared to the latter. Thus, the neck 12 can describe a circle or a portion of circle around the X axis of the tank 2

Une jupe d'étanchéité 14 assure une bonne étanchéité du montage de la bague 10 sur le réservoir 2. La surface extérieure du col 12 porte un filetage 15 apte à coopérer par vissage avec un filet correspondant 16 formé par une surface intérieure d'un capuchon 17 apte à obturer de manière amovible l'ouverture 18 délimitée par le col 12. Le capuchon est solidaire de la première extrémité 19 d'une tige 20 située sensiblement dans l'axe Y du col. La seconde extrémité 21 de la tige 20 est solidaire d'une extrémité d'un applicateur 22, telle qu'une brosse, du type de celles utilisées pour l'application de mascara sur les cils. L'applicateur 22 est situé sensiblement dans le prolongement de la tige 20. A sealing skirt 14 ensures good sealing of the mounting of the ring 10 on the tank 2. The outside surface of the neck 12 carries a thread 15 able to cooperate by screwing with a corresponding thread 16 formed by a inner surface of a cap 17 capable of removably closing off the opening 18 delimited by the neck 12. The cap is integral with the first end 19 of a rod 20 located substantially in the axis Y of the neck. The second end 21 of rod 20 is integral with one end of an applicator 22, such than a brush, of the type used for applying mascara to eyelashes. The applicator 22 is located substantially in the extension of the rod 20.

L'autre extrémité de l'applicateur 22 est libre et se situe sensiblement au voisinage du fond 4 du réservoir 2.The other end of the applicator 22 is free and is located substantially at the near the bottom 4 of the tank 2.

La bague de montage 10 forme tout autour de l'axe Y du col 12, une lèvre 25 formant un organe d'essorage de l'applicateur 22 lorsque ce dernier est extrait du réservoir 2, et éventuellement d'essuyage de la tige 20. Cette lèvre 25 peut être obtenue de moulage avec la bague 10, notamment par bi-injection de deux matériaux compatibles physico-chimiquement.The mounting ring 10 forms all around the axis Y of the neck 12, a lip 25 forming a wiper member of the applicator 22 when the latter is extracted of the reservoir 2, and possibly of wiping of the rod 20. This lip 25 can be obtained by molding with the ring 10, in particular by bi-injection of two physico-chemically compatible materials.

Pour utiliser l'ensemble de conditionnement et d'application selon l'invention, l'utilisatrice fait tourner la bague de montage 10 par rapport au corps 3. A cet effet des stries 26 sont ménagées sur la surface extérieure de la bague 10. L'utilisatrice peut faire parcourir à la bague de montage 10, autant de tours qu'elle le désire. Dans la pratique toutefois, un tour est suffisant. Cette rotation de la bague de montage 10 par rapport au corps 3 entraíne la tige 20 et l'applicateur à l'intérieur du réservoir 2 dans un mouvement de rotation autour de l'axe X, et dont le rayon est sensiblement égal à la distance entre les deux axes X et Y, lequel mouvement de rotation permet de faire balayer par l'applicateur la quasi-totalité de la section du réservoir, et permet en outre l'homogénéisation du produit. Après cela, tout en maintenant la bague 10 d'une main, elle dévisse de l'autre main le capuchon 17. Après dévissage complet, elle peut extraire l'applicateur 22, lequel est essoré en passant au travers de la lèvre 25. Comme dans les dispositifs conventionnels, le capuchon 17 fait office d'organe de préhension pour ledit applicateur. L'utilisatrice applique ensuite le produit de manière conventionnelle. Après application, elle remet l'applicateur dans le réservoir au travers de l'ouverture 18. Elle revisse le capuchon 17 d'une main tout en maintenant la bague de montage 10 de l'autre main.To use the packaging and application unit according to the invention, the user rotates the mounting ring 10 relative to the body 3. At this effect of the streaks 26 are formed on the outer surface of the ring 10. The user can make the mounting ring 10 travel as many turns she wants it. In practice, however, one turn is sufficient. This rotation of the mounting ring 10 relative to the body 3 drives the rod 20 and the applicator inside the reservoir 2 in a rotational movement around of the X axis, and whose radius is substantially equal to the distance between the two X and Y axes, which rotational movement allows to sweep by the applicator almost the entire section of the reservoir, and also allows homogenization of the product. After that, while holding the ring 10 of a hand, it unscrews the cap 17 with the other hand. After complete unscrewing, it can extract the applicator 22, which is wrung out by passing through the lip 25. As in conventional devices, the cap 17 acts gripping member for said applicator. The user then applies the produced in a conventional manner. After application, she puts the applicator back into the tank through the opening 18. It screwed the cap 17 back on hand while holding the mounting ring 10 with the other hand.

Ainsi monté dans l'ouverture 18 du col 12, décalée par rapport à l'axe X du réservoir 2, l'enveloppe latérale de l'applicateur se situe quasiment au contact des parois internes du corps 3. On évite ainsi que du produit reste accroché sur les parois de ce dernier. Comme il apparaít à la vue en coupe de la figure 1C, la mise en rotation de la bague de montage 10 par rapport au corps 3 permet à l'applicateur de balayer la quasi totalité de la section du réservoir 2, permettant ainsi d'utiliser sensiblement tout le produit qu'il contient, quelle que soit la viscosité du produit.Thus mounted in the opening 18 of the neck 12, offset from the axis X of the tank 2, the side casing of the applicator is almost in contact of the internal walls of the body 3. This prevents the product from hanging on the walls of the latter. As it appears in the sectional view of Figure 1C, the rotation of the mounting ring 10 relative to the body 3 allows the applicator to sweep almost the entire section of the reservoir 2, allowing thus to use substantially all the product it contains, whatever the viscosity of the product.

La variante décrite dans le mode de réalisation des figures 2A et 2D permet de simplifier la gestuelle d'utilisation par rapport au mode de réalisation précédent, tout en conservant les mêmes caractéristiques en termes de résultats et avantages.The variant described in the embodiment of FIGS. 2A and 2D makes it possible to simplify the gesture of use compared to the previous embodiment, while maintaining the same characteristics in terms of results and benefits.

A cet effet, le bord libre de la partie latérale 11 de la bague de montage 10 porte une butée 30 (sous forme d'une languette orientée vers le fond 4 du réservoir) apte à venir en engagement avec une butée correspondante 31 (sous forme d'une languette orientée à l'opposé du fond 4 du réservoir) et portée par le bord libre du corps 3 du réservoir 2. De la même manière que pour le mode de réalisation précédent, la bague de montage 10 est maintenue par claquage sur le corps 3 du réservoir 2. Les deux butées sont de faible largeur (de l'ordre de 3 à 5 mm) de manière à autoriser une rotation de la bague par rapport au corps 3, d'environ 360°. Selon cette variante, l'applicateur 22 est constitué d'un bloc de mousse de forme effilée, tel que pouvant être utilisé pour l'application d'un rouge à lèvres ou d'une ombre à paupières. Le dispositif selon cette variante est par ailleurs similaire en tout point au mode de réalisation précédent.For this purpose, the free edge of the lateral part 11 of the mounting ring 10 carries a stop 30 (in the form of a tongue oriented towards the bottom 4 of the tank) capable of coming into engagement with a corresponding stop 31 (in the form of a tongue oriented opposite the bottom 4 of the tank) and carried by the free edge of the body 3 of the tank 2. In the same way as for the previous embodiment, the mounting ring 10 is maintained by snapping on the body 3 of the tank 2. The two stops are weak width (of the order of 3 to 5 mm) so as to allow rotation of the ring relative to the body 3, of about 360 °. According to this variant, the applicator 22 consists of a tapered block of foam, such as may be used for the application of a lipstick or an eye shadow. The device according to this variant is also similar in all respects to the mode of previous achievement.

Pour utiliser l'ensemble selon ce mode de réalisation, l'utilisatrice saisit le capuchon 17 (tel que représenté dans la position illustrée à la figure 2A), et l'entraíne en rotation par rapport au corps 3 du réservoir. Le couple nécessaire au dévissage du capuchon est supérieur au couple nécessaire à la mise en rotation de la bague 10 par rapport au corps 3. Ainsi, elle entraíne dans un premier temps la bague 10 par rapport au corps 3, jusqu'à ce que la butée 30 vienne en engagement avec la butée 31 (d'un premier côté de la butée 31, figure 2B). Le mouvement de rotation de la bague 10 par rapport au corps entraíne également l'applicateur à l'intérieur du réservoir autour de l'axe X, ce qui produit l'action d'homogénéisation du produit et/ou de raclage des parois du réservoir 2. A ce moment, le couple appliqué au capuchon 17 provoque le dévissage de ce dernier (figure 2C). Après dévissage complet, l'utilisatrice extrait l'applicateur 22 du réservoir (figure 2D), lequel applicateur est essoré en passant au travers de la lèvre 25. Après utilisation, elle remet l'applicateur dans le réservoir et visse le capuchon 17 sur le col 12. Ce faisant, elle provoque un mouvement de rotation de la bague 10 par rapport au corps 3 dans le sens opposé à la première rotation. Une fois la butée 30 en engagement avec la butée 31 (de l'autre coté de la butée 31, figure 2A), l'utilisatrice peut terminer le vissage et assurer une fermeture étanche de l'ouverture 18. Ainsi, avec ce mode de réalisation, l'action de l'applicateur (pour racler les parois et/ou homogénéiser le produit) et l'ouverture du réservoir en vue d'extraire l'applicateur se font par un seul et même geste.To use the assembly according to this embodiment, the user enters the cap 17 (as shown in the position illustrated in FIG. 2A), and the drive in rotation relative to the body 3 of the tank. The necessary torque when the cap is unscrewed is greater than the torque required for setting rotation of the ring 10 relative to the body 3. Thus, it results in a first time the ring 10 relative to the body 3, until the stop 30 comes into engagement with the stop 31 (on a first side of the stop 31, Figure 2B). The rotational movement of the ring 10 relative to the body also drives the applicator inside the tank around the X axis, this which produces the product homogenization and / or scraping action on the walls of the tank 2. At this time, the torque applied to the cap 17 causes the unscrewing the latter (Figure 2C). After complete unscrewing, the user extracts the applicator 22 from the reservoir (FIG. 2D), which applicator is wrung out passing through the lip 25. After use, it puts the applicator back in the reservoir and screws the cap 17 onto the neck 12. In doing so, it causes a rotational movement of the ring 10 relative to the body 3 in the direction opposite the first rotation. Once the stop 30 has engaged with the stop 31 (on the other side of stop 31, Figure 2A), the user can finish the screwing and sealing the opening 18 tightly. Thus, with this embodiment, the action of the applicator (to scrape the walls and / or homogenize the product) and the opening of the tank in order to extract the applicator is done with a single gesture.

Dans la description détaillée qui précède, il a été fait référence à des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention. Il est évident que des variantes peuvent y être apportées sans s'écarter de l'esprit de l'invention telle que revendiquée ci-après.In the foregoing detailed description, reference has been made to modes of preferred embodiments of the invention. It is obvious that variants may exist there. be made without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed below.
