Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un capot muni d'un taille-crayon pour crayon notamment cosmétique, et à un crayon notamment cosmétique équipé d'un tel capot.The present invention relates to a hood provided with a pencil sharpener especially cosmetic, and a particular cosmetic pencil equipped with such a cover.

Les crayons, et en particulier les crayons cosmétiques destinés au maquillage, doivent être taillés régulièrement afin d'obtenir la finesse de trait requise.The pencils, and in particular cosmetic pencils for make-up, must be trimmed regularly to obtain the required line fineness.

Le recours à un taille-crayon classique, indépendant du crayon lui-même, s'est avéré peu pratique à l'usage : il est en effet très facile d'égarer un objet de petite taille tel qu'un taille-crayon, et en tout cas difficile de le retrouver parmi d'autres objets situés par exemple au fond d'un sac à main.The use of a conventional pencil sharpener, independent of the pencil itself, has proved inconvenient to use: it is indeed very easy to misplace a small object such as a sharpener, and in any case difficult to find it among other objects located for example at the bottom of a handbag.

Pour cette raison, on a vu se développer ces dernières années des capots pour crayons cosmétiques intégrant des tailles-crayons. De tels capots remplissent deux fonctions, à savoir celle de protection de la pointe du crayon et celle de la taille de cette pointe. Avec de tels capots, le problème de la perte du taille-crayon est supprimé.For this reason, we have seen developing in recent years caps for cosmetic pencils incorporating pencil sharpeners. Such covers fulfill two functions, namely that of protection of the tip of the pen and that of the size of this tip. With such hoods, the problem of losing the sharpener is removed.

Selon une première variante, le taille-crayon est disposé dans une partie du capot située à l'opposé de la partie dans laquelle le crayon est destiné à venir se loger.According to a first variant, the pencil sharpener is disposed in a part of the cover located opposite the part in which the pencil is intended to be housed.

Dans une telle variante, l'encombrement du capot est important, ce qui n'est pas satisfaisant notamment du point de vue esthétique. En outre, un tel capot est complexe à fabriquer.In such a variant, the bulk of the hood is important, which is not satisfactory especially from the aesthetic point of view. In addition, such a hood is complex to manufacture.

Selon une deuxième variante, le taille-crayon est disposé au fond de la partie dans laquelle le crayon est destiné à venir se loger.According to a second variant, the pencil sharpener is arranged at the bottom of the part in which the pencil is intended to be housed.

Bien que très avantageux, les capots selon cette deuxième variante présentent certains inconvénients.Although very advantageous, the covers according to this second variant have certain disadvantages.

En particulier, on a pu constater que la mise rotation du crayon à l'intérieur du capot en vue de sa taille nécessitait un certain effort, du fait que ce capot comprend des moyens de frottement sur le crayon, aptes à assurer la tenue du capot sur le crayon en situation de rangement.In particular, it was found that the setting of the pencil inside the bonnet in view of its size required some effort, because the cover comprises friction means on the pencil, able to ensure the hood on the pencil in storage situation.

Un tel effort n'est certes pas insurmontable, mais il serait préférable qu'il n'existe pratiquement pas, de manière à constituer un agrément supplémentaire pour les utilisatrices.Such an effort is certainly not insurmountable, but it would be preferable that it practically does not exist, so as to constitute an additional approval for the users.

Un exemple de capot selon cette seconde variante est par exemple décrit dans le document US-A-2 636 476 . Ce document décrit notamment un crayon comportant une mine, le crayon présentant une ouverture de laquelle fait saillie l'extrémité de la mine, grâce à un mécanisme à ressort compris dans le crayon. Le document US-A-2 636 476 décrit également un manchon dans l'ouverture du crayon, présentant un partie biseautée, équipée d'une lame, ce manchon étant monté libre en rotation dans le crayon. Une tête, constituant un corps de capot, est emmanchée autour de l'ouverture accueillant le manchon. Une bague du type ressort plat est placée entre la tête et l'ouverture du crayon maintenant le manchon. Cette bague vise à freiner la rotation de la tête autour du crayon. Enfin, la document US-A-2 636 476 décrit un capuchon de fermeture qui vient s'emboîter autour de la tête.An example of a hood according to this second variant is for example described in the document US-A-2,636,476 . This document describes in particular a pencil having a mine, the pencil having an opening from which protrudes the end of the mine, through a spring mechanism included in the pencil. The document US-A-2,636,476 also discloses a sleeve in the opening of the pencil, having a beveled portion, equipped with a blade, this sleeve being rotatably mounted in the pencil. A head constituting a hood body is fitted around the opening accommodating the sleeve. A flat spring type ring is placed between the head and the opening of the pencil holding the sleeve. This ring aims to slow the rotation of the head around the pencil. Finally, the document US-A-2,636,476 describes a closure cap that fits around the head.

Parallèlement, on connaît du document US-A-2 979 029 un crayon dont le corps comporte une mine dont l'extrémité fait saillie d'une ouverture ménagée à l'extrémité du crayon. Un mécanisme à ressort et à vis assure que l'extrémité de la mine fasse toujours saillie de l'ouverture. Le document US-A-2 979 029 décrit également un capot qui comporte un taille crayon (monté sur le corps du crayon), et un capuchon qui vient se positionner sur le taille crayon. Le document US-A-2 979 029 décrit un ressort plat qui empêche la rotation non intentionnelle de la mine dans le crayon. Ce ressort plat est monté dans le crayon.At the same time, we know of the document US-A-2,979,029 a pencil whose body has a mine whose end protrudes from an opening at the end of the pencil. A spring and screw mechanism ensures that the end of the mine always protrudes from the opening. The document US-A-2,979,029 also discloses a hood that has a pencil size (mounted on the body of the pencil), and a cap that is positioned on the pencil. The document US-A-2,979,029 describes a flat spring that prevents the unintentional rotation of the mine in the pencil. This flat spring is mounted in the pencil.

Enfin, on connaît du document US-A-3 183 894 un taille crayon qui comporte un corps dans lequel est disposé un réservoir dont l'extrémité comporte des lames aptes à tailler une mine de crayon.Finally, we know of the document US-A-3,183,894 a pencil size which comprises a body in which is disposed a tank whose end has blades adapted to cut a pencil lead.

La présente invention a pour but de supprimer notamment cet inconvénient.The present invention aims to remove this particular disadvantage.

On atteint ce but de l'invention avec un capot pour crayon notamment cosmétique, du type comprenant :

  • un corps muni d'un taille-crayon, adapté pour s'emboîter sur l'une des extrémités dudit crayon,
  • un capuchon, adapté pour s'emboîter fixement sur ledit corps, et
  • des moyens pour restreindre les mouvements dudit crayon par rapport audit corps, ces moyens étant solidaires dudit capuchon.
This object of the invention is achieved with a pencil cap, especially a cosmetic cap, of the type comprising:
  • a body provided with a sharpener, adapted to fit on one end of said pencil,
  • a cap, adapted to fit securely on said body, and
  • means for restricting the movements of said pencil relative to said body, these means being integral with said cap.

Grâce au fait que les moyens pour restreindre les mouvements du crayon par rapport au corps du capot sont solidaires du capuchon, il suffit d'enlever le capuchon pour obtenir une totale liberté de mouvement du crayon par rapport au corps du capot, et en particulier pour permettre la mise en rotation sans effort de celui-ci par rapport à celui-là lors de la taille.Thanks to the fact that the means for restricting the movements of the pencil with respect to the body of the cap are integral with the cap, it suffices to remove the cap to obtain complete freedom of movement of the pencil with respect to the body of the cap, and in particular for allow the rotation without effort of it in relation to the one during the size.

Suivant une autre caractéristique optionnelle de l'invention, lesdits moyens de restriction comprennent des moyens pour maintenir la pointe, et surtout la mine, dudit crayon à une distance prédéterminée de la lame du taille-crayon.According to another optional feature of the invention, said restriction means comprise means for maintaining the tip, and especially the lead, of said pencil at a predetermined distance from the sharpener blade.

Le fait de maintenir la pointe du crayon, et surtout sa mine, à une distance prédéterminée de la lame du taille-crayon du corps de capot permet d'éviter que lorsque l'on rebouche le crayon avec son capot, la lame du taille-crayon ne puisse former des entailles sur la pointe du crayon, et en particulier sur la mine, au risque de nuire à l'esthétique du crayon et d'en fragiliser la mine.Maintaining the tip of the pencil, and especially its lead, at a predetermined distance from the blade of the pencil sharpener of the bonnet body makes it possible to avoid that when the pencil with its bonnet is re-opened, the blade of the pencil pencil can not form notches on the tip of the pencil, and in particular on the mine, at the risk of damaging the aesthetics of the pencil and weaken the mine.

Suivant d'autres caractéristiques optionnelles de l'invention :

  • lesdits moyens de restriction comprennent une nervure formée à l'intérieur dudit capuchon, apte à former une butée pour ledit crayon,
  • ledit corps est transparent, et ladite butée est positionnée de manière que l'on puisse voir ladite mine à travers ledit corps, le taille-crayon demeurant quant à lui caché par le capuchon qui peut être opaque,
  • lesdits moyens de restriction comprennent au moins une patte élastique solidaire dudit capot, adaptée pour s'appuyer contre ledit crayon. Cette patte élastique peut être galbée ou droite, elle peut être située à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur du corps de crayon, et elle peut être plus ou moins rigide ;
  • ledit corps comporte une rainure sur sa face intérieure, et ladite patte est conformée pour se loger à l'intérieur de ladite rainure lorsque ledit capuchon est emboîté sur ledit corps,
  • ladite patte et ledit corps comprennent des moyens mutuels de clipsage, débrayables uniquement lorsque ladite patte est libre de s'écarter de ladite rainure, c'est-à-dire lorsque ledit crayon est sorti dudit capot,
  • ledit corps et ledit capuchon sont conformés pour qu'en position d'emboîtement, leurs parois extérieures soient situées dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre,
  • la face intérieure dudit corps comporte une pluralité de nervures aptes à améliorer la tenue dudit corps sur ledit crayon.
According to other optional features of the invention:
  • said restriction means comprise a rib formed inside said cap, able to form a stop for said pencil,
  • said body is transparent, and said stop is positioned so that one can see said mine through said body, the sharpener remaining hidden by the cap which can be opaque,
  • said restriction means comprise at least one elastic tab integral with said cover, adapted to bear against said pencil. This elastic tab can be curved or straight, it can be located inside or outside the pen body, and it can be more or less rigid;
  • said body has a groove on its inner face, and said tab is shaped to fit within said groove when said cap is fitted on said body,
  • said tab and said body comprise mutual means of clipping, disengageable only when said tab is free to move away from said groove, that is to say when said pencil is removed from said cover,
  • said body and said cap are shaped so that in nesting position, their outer walls are located in the extension of one another,
  • the inner face of said body has a plurality of ribs adapted to improve the holding of said body on said pencil.

La présente invention se rapporte également à un crayon notamment cosmétique équipé d'un capot conforme à ce qui précède.The present invention also relates to a particular cosmetic pencil equipped with a cover according to the foregoing.

On se reporte à présente aux figures 1 à 3, sur lesquelles on voit que le capot selon l'invention comprend d'une part un corps de capot 1 et d'autre part un capuchon 3.We are referring here to Figures 1 to 3 , on which it can be seen that the hood according to the invention comprises on the one hand a hood body 1 and on the other hand a hood 3.

Le corps de capot 1 comporte une base creuse sensiblement cylindrique 5 surmontée d'un taille-crayon 7.The hood body 1 comprises a substantially cylindrical hollow base 5 surmounted by a sharpener 7.

La base 5 comporte, sur sa face intérieure, une rainure 9 surmontée d'un ergot 11 puis d'une encoche longitudinale 13. Le taille-crayon 7 comporte, comme cela est connu en soi, une lame de préférence métallique 15 disposée de manière inclinée par rapport à l'axe A du corps 1.The base 5 comprises, on its inner face, a groove 9 surmounted by a lug 11 and then a longitudinal notch 13. The sharpener 7 comprises, as is known per se, a preferably metal blade 15 disposed in a manner inclined relative to the axis A of the body 1.

La base 5 et le taille-crayon 7 forment de préférence une seule pièce obtenue par exemple par moulage de matière plastique.The base 5 and the pencil sharpener 7 preferably form a single piece obtained for example by molding plastic material.

La lame 15 peut être soit prise dans cette matière plastique, soit fixée par tout moyen approprié tel qu'une vis.The blade 15 can be either caught in this plastic material or fixed by any suitable means such as a screw.

On notera également que, de préférence, comme cela est visible notamment sur la figure 2, le diamètre extérieur du taille-crayon 7 est de préférence inférieur à celui de la base 5.It will also be noted that, preferably, as is visible in particular on the figure 2 the outside diameter of the sharpener 7 is preferably smaller than that of the base 5.

On se reporte à présent à la figure 3 sur laquelle on voit que le capuchon du capot selon l'invention comporte d'une part une coiffe 17 sensiblement cylindrique, et d'autre part au moins une patte 19 solidaire de cette coiffe.We are now going back to figure 3 on which it can be seen that the cap of the hood according to the invention comprises on the one hand a substantially cylindrical cap 17, and on the other hand at least one tab 19 integral with this cap.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 3, la patte 19 est galbée vers l'intérieur du capuchon 3, c'est-à-dire en direction de l'axe A' de ce capuchon.As can be seen on the figure 3 , the tab 19 is curved towards the inside of the cap 3, that is to say in the direction of the axis A 'of this cap.

Dans la zone de liaison avec la coiffe 17, la patte 19 comporte un renfoncement 21.In the zone of connection with the cap 17, the tab 19 comprises a recess 21.

La patte 19 est surmontée d'une nervure 23 s'étendant sur la face intérieure de la coiffe 17.The tab 19 is surmounted by a rib 23 extending on the inner face of the cap 17.

A son extrémité 25 la plus proche de la patte 19, la nervure 23 s'estompe progressivement en biseau pour rejoindre la face interne de la coiffe 17.At its end 25 closest to the tab 19, the rib 23 gradually fades bevel to join the inner face of the cap 17.

L'angle formé par le biseau 25 par rapport à l'axe A' du capuchon 3 est de préférence sensiblement égal à l'angle formé par la lame 15 par rapport à l'axe A du corps 1.The angle formed by the bevel 25 with respect to the axis A 'of the cap 3 is preferably substantially equal to the angle formed by the blade 15 with respect to the axis A of the body 1.

Dans une autre variante possible et non représentée, la nervure 23 et le biseau 25 pourraient être disposés sur la face interne de la coiffe 17 à tout autre endroit que dans le prolongement de la patte 19.In another possible variant and not shown, the rib 23 and the bevel 25 could be arranged on the inner face of the cap 17 at any other place than in the extension of the tab 19.

Le corps de capot 1 et le capuchon 3 sont formés de préférence chacun d'une seule pièce obtenue par moulage d'une matière plastique.The hood body 1 and the cap 3 are preferably each formed of a single piece obtained by molding a plastic material.

Les matières plastiques formant le corps de capot 1 et le capuchon 3 peuvent être identiques (couleur, texture) ou différentes.The plastics forming the hood body 1 and the cap 3 may be identical (color, texture) or different.

La matière plastique formant le capuchon 3 est choisie de manière que la patte 19 soit élastique, c'est-à-dire qu'elle revienne, après sollicitation, dans sa position initiale représentée aux figures 3 et 4.The plastic forming the cap 3 is chosen so that the tab 19 is elastic, that is to say that it returns, after stress, in its initial position shown in FIG. figures 3 and 4 .

Des matières plastiques qui peuvent convenir pour le corps de capot 1 et le capuchon 3 sont par exemple les matières désignées couramment sous les appellations POM ou ABS, ou bien encore du polycarbonate ou toute autre matière plastique ayant les propriétés requises.Plastics which may be suitable for the hood body 1 and the cap 3 are, for example, the materials commonly known under the names POM or ABS, or else polycarbonate or any other plastic material having the required properties.

Dans d'autres variantes possibles, le corps 1 et le capuchon 3 du capot selon l'invention pourraient présenter toute autre forme que la forme cylindrique susmentionnée, telle qu'une forme à section ovale, rectangle, triangulaire par exemple.In other possible variants, the body 1 and the cap 3 of the hood according to the invention could have any shape other than the aforementioned cylindrical shape, such as a shape with oval section, rectangle, triangular for example.

En se reportant aux figures 4 et 5, on peut voir la manière dont le corps 1 coopère avec le capuchon 3 lorsque ces deux organes sont emboîtés l'un dans l'autre.Referring to Figures 4 and 5 it can be seen how the body 1 cooperates with the cap 3 when these two members are nested one inside the other.

Le taille-crayon 7 se trouve logé à l'intérieur de la coiffe 17 du capuchon 3.The sharpener 7 is housed inside the cap 17 of the cap 3.

La patte 19 rentre à l'intérieur de la base cylindrique 5 par l'encoche 13 et vient se positionner à l'intérieur de la rainure 9, de manière que son galbe soit protubérant par rapport à la face intérieure de la base 5.The tab 19 enters inside the cylindrical base 5 by the notch 13 and is positioned inside the groove 9, so that its curve is protruding relative to the inner face of the base 5.

La nervure 23, ainsi que la partie biseautée 25 de cette nervure, font également saillie par rapport à la face intérieure de la base 5.The rib 23, as well as the beveled portion 25 of this rib, also project relative to the inner face of the base 5.

On notera également que le renfoncement 21 de la patte 19 coopère avec l'ergot 11 formé sur la face intérieure de la base 5.Note also that the recess 21 of the tab 19 cooperates with the lug 11 formed on the inner face of the base 5.

On notera encore que le diamètre extérieur de la coiffe 17 est de préférence choisi sensiblement égal à celui de la base 5.It will also be noted that the outside diameter of the cap 17 is preferably chosen to be substantially equal to that of the base 5.

On peut voir sur les figures 6 et 7 la manière dont le capot selon l'invention, résultant de l'emboîtement du capuchon 3 sur le corps 1, coopère avec l'extrémité d'un crayon notamment cosmétique 27 sur lequel il est emboîté.We can see on Figures 6 and 7 the way in which the cover according to the invention, resulting from the engagement of the cap 3 on the body 1, cooperates with the end of a particular cosmetic rod 27 on which it is fitted.

Cette extrémité comporte une pointe conique 29, résultant de la taille du crayon.This end has a conical tip 29, resulting from the size of the pencil.

Cette pointe conique comprend elle-même une partie 30 en bois ou en matière synthétique, désignée par le terme « chanfrein » dans ce qui suit, ainsi que la mine 31.This conical tip itself comprises a part 30 of wood or synthetic material, referred to by the term "chamfer" in the following, as well as the mine 31.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 6, la partie biseautée 25 de la nervure 23 vient en appui sur le chanfrein 30 de la pointe 29 du crayon 27.As can be seen on the figure 6 , the tapered portion 25 of the rib 23 abuts on the chamfer 30 of the tip 29 of the rod 27.

La distance axiale séparant la partie biseautée 25 de la lame 15 est telle que la pointe 29, et surtout la mine 31, du crayon 27 demeurent séparées d'une distance prédéterminée de cette lame.The axial distance separating the beveled portion 25 of the blade 15 is such that the tip 29, and especially the lead 31, of the rod 27 remain separated by a predetermined distance from this blade.

On remarquera également que la partie galbée de la patte 19 vient en appui contre le crayon 27.It will also be noted that the curved portion of the tab 19 bears against the pencil 27.

Le mode d'utilisation et des avantages du capot selon l'invention résultent directement de la description qui précède.The mode of use and advantages of the hood according to the invention result directly from the foregoing description.

En situation de rangement, c'est-à-dire lorsque que l'on ne souhaite pas utiliser le crayon 27, on emboîte sur la pointe 29 de ce crayon le capot C formé de l'assemblage du capuchon 3 et du corps 1.In a storage situation, that is to say when one does not wish to use the pencil 27, the tip 29 of this pencil is engaged with the cover C formed by the assembly of the cap 3 and the body 1.

Ce capot permet ainsi de protéger la pointe 29, et notamment la mine 31 du crayon cosmétique 27 en dehors de ces périodes d'utilisation.This cover thus protects the tip 29, and in particular the lead 31 of the cosmetic pencil 27 outside these periods of use.

Lorsque l'on souhaite se maquiller, on extrait le crayon 27 de son capot C.When one wants to apply make-up, one extracts the pencil 27 from its cover C.

Un léger effort de traction est suffisant pour vaincre le frottement de la patte 19 sur le crayon 27, cette patte exerçant en effet, du fait de son élasticité, un effort d'appui sur le crayon 27.A slight tensile force is sufficient to overcome the friction of the tab 19 on the pencil 27, this tab exerting indeed, because of its elasticity, a pressing force on the pencil 27.

On notera que lors de l'extraction du crayon 27 de son capot, la capuchon 3 et le corps 1 demeurent solidaires l'un de l'autre grâce à l'effet de clipsage résultant de la coopération de l'ergot 11 formé sur le corps 5 avec le renfoncement 21 formé sur la patte 19It will be noted that during the extraction of the pencil 27 from its cap, the cap 3 and the body 1 remain secured to each other thanks to the clipping effect resulting from the cooperation of the lug 11 formed on the body 5 with the recess 21 formed on the leg 19

Une fois que l'on a terminé d'utiliser le crayon 27, on peut à nouveau recouvrir sa pointe 29 au moyen du capot, en exerçant à nouveau un léger effort permettant de vaincre le frottement qui est réalisé par la patte 19.Once one has finished using the pencil 27, one can again cover its tip 29 by means of the cover, exerting again a slight force to overcome the friction that is achieved by the leg 19.

On notera que la course du crayon 27 à l'intérieur du capot est limitée par la partie biseautée 25 de la nervure 23, le chanfrein 30 du crayon venant en effet buter contre cette partie biseautée.Note that the stroke of the pencil 27 inside the cover is limited by the beveled portion 25 of the rib 23, the chamfer 30 of the pencil in fact abut against this beveled portion.

Ce faisant, la pointe 29 du crayon 27, et surtout la mine 31, demeurent éloignées d'une distance prédéterminée de la lame 15 du taille-crayon, évitant ainsi que cette lame ne vienne entailler la pointe 29, et surtout la mine 31, ce qui pourrait nuire à l'esthétique du crayon et fragiliser cette mine.In doing so, the point 29 of the pencil 27, and especially the pencil 31, remain at a predetermined distance from the blade 15 of the pencil sharpener, thus preventing this blade from notching the tip 29, and especially the puck 31, which could damage the aesthetics of the pencil and weaken this mine.

Lorsque l'on souhaite tailler la pointe 29 du crayon, on commence comme précédemment à extraire le crayon 27 du capot C.When one wishes to cut the point 29 of the pencil, one begins as before to extract the pencil 27 from the cover C.

Ceci étant fait, on exerce une légère traction sur le corps 1 et le capuchon 3 de manière à vaincre l'effort de retenue résultant de la coopération de l'ergot 11 avec le renfoncement 21, et à séparer ainsi le capuchon 3 du corps 1.This being done, a slight pull is exerted on the body 1 and the cap 3 so as to overcome the retaining force resulting from the cooperation of the lug 11 with the recess 21, and thus to separate the cap 3 from the body 1 .

On peut alors faire pénétrer le crayon 27 dans le corps 1 jusqu'au moment où sa pointe 29, et en particulier sa mine 31, viennent au contact de la lame 15.The rod 27 can then be penetrated into the body 1 until its point 29, and in particular its lead 31, comes into contact with the blade 15.

On peut alors faire tourner le crayon 27 par rapport au corps 1, de manière à tailler la pointe 29.The rod 27 can then be rotated relative to the body 1, so as to cut the tip 29.

Les copeaux résultant de cette taille sortent du taille-crayon 7 par l'orifice 33 réservé à cet effet, comme cela est connu en soi.The chips resulting from this size come out of the sharpener 7 through the hole 33 reserved for this purpose, as is known per se.

Une fois que la taille du crayon 27 est terminée, on le sort du corps 1, et on vient replacer le capuchon 3 sur le corps 1.Once the size of the pencil 27 is completed, it is removed from the body 1, and it comes to replace the cap 3 on the body 1.

Si nécessaire, on peut utiliser la pointe de la patte 19 pour extraire des copeaux qui seraient restés coincés dans le taille-crayon.If necessary, the tip of the tab 19 can be used to extract chips that would have remained stuck in the sharpener.

On notera que, de manière avantageuse, lorsque le crayon 27 se trouve à l'intérieur du capot C, comme cela est représenté sur les figures 6 et 7, il empêche l'écartement de la patte 19 par rapport à la face interne de la base 5, ce qui a pour effet d'empêcher l'ergot 11 de s'échapper du renfoncement 21.Note that, advantageously, when the pencil 27 is inside the cover C, as shown on the Figures 6 and 7 it prevents the tab 19 from moving away from the inner face of the base 5, which has the effect of preventing the lug 11 from escaping from the recess 21.

Ainsi, lorsque le capot C recouvre l'extrémité du crayon 27, on obtient un verrouillage du capuchon 3 sur le corps 1.Thus, when the cover C covers the end of the pencil 27, a locking of the cap 3 is obtained on the body 1.

Comme on peut le comprendre à la lumière de ce qui précède, la patte 19 permet de restreindre le coulissement du crayon 27 à l'intérieur du corps de capot 1, et la partie biseautée 25 de la nervure 23 forme une butée empêchant que la pointe 29, et surtout la mine 31, n'atteignent la lame 15 du taille-crayon 7.As can be understood in light of the foregoing, the tab 19 restricts the sliding of the pencil 27 inside the hood body 1, and the bevelled portion 25 of the rib 23 forms a stop preventing the tip 29, and especially the mine 31, do not reach the blade 15 of the sharpener 7.

Cette patte 19 et cette partie biseautée 25, qui constituent des moyens pour restreindre les mouvements du crayon 27 par rapport au corps 1 de capot, sont solidaires du capuchon 17.This tab 19 and this beveled portion 25, which constitute means for restricting the movements of the rod 27 relative to the body 1 of the hood, are integral with the cap 17.

Ceci a pour conséquence que ces moyens de restriction ne sont actifs que lorsque le capuchon 3 est emboîté sur le corps 1 de capot.This has the consequence that these restriction means are active only when the cap 3 is fitted on the body 1 hood.

Ainsi, en particulier, lorsque l'on a séparé le capuchon 3 du corps 1 en vue de tailler le crayon 27, on peut noter qu'il n'y a plus de patte 19 exerçant un effort de frottement sur le crayon 27.Thus, in particular, when the cap 3 has been separated from the body 1 in order to cut the pencil 27, it may be noted that there is no longer any tab 19 exerting a frictional force on the pencil 27.

Ceci permet donc de mettre en rotation le crayon 27 par rapport au taille-crayon 7 sans aucun effort excessif, et sans frottement susceptible de rayer le crayon, contrairement à la situation de la technique antérieure.This therefore makes it possible to rotate the pencil 27 relative to the pencil sharpener 7 without any excessive effort, and without friction likely to scratch the pencil, unlike the situation of the prior art.

On notera par ailleurs que l'élasticité de la patte 19 permet d'adapter le capot 1 sur des crayons 27 présentant des diamètres pouvant varier légèrement autour d'une valeur moyenne.Note also that the elasticity of the tab 19 makes it possible to adapt the cover 1 on rods 27 having diameters that may vary slightly around a mean value.

Ces variations peuvent provenir des tolérances dimensionnelles inhérentes au processus de fabrication d'un crayon donné, ou bien de l'utilisation de différents crayons de diamètres voisins avec un même capot.These variations can come from the dimensional tolerances inherent to the process of manufacturing a given pencil, or from the use of different pencils of neighboring diameters with the same cover.

On notera que lorsque les diamètres extérieurs de la base 5 et de la coiffe 17 sont choisis sensiblement égaux, les parois extérieures de cette base et de cette coiffe sont situées dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre, ce qui confère un aspect esthétique particulièrement satisfaisant au capot selon l'invention.Note that when the outer diameters of the base 5 and the cap 17 are chosen substantially equal, the outer walls of this base and this cap are located in the extension of one another, which gives an aesthetic appearance particularly satisfactory hood according to the invention.

Bien entendu, la présente invention n'est nullement limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et représenté, fourni à titre d'exemple illustratif et non limitatif.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown, provided by way of illustrative and non-limiting example.

C'est ainsi par exemple que l'on pourrait envisager un variante représentée à la figure 8, dans laquelle la patte 19 du capuchon 17 s'étendrait non pas à l'intérieur du corps 1 de capot, mais à l'extérieur de celui-ci, dans une rainure réservée à cet effet, cette patte comportant alors à son extrémité un ergot 34 apte à traverser la paroi de la base 5 pour exercer un effort de frottement sur le crayon 27.For example, one could consider a variant represented in figure 8 , in which the tab 19 of the cap 17 extends not inside the body 1 hood, but outside thereof, in a groove reserved for this purpose, this tab then having at its end a lug 34 adapted to traverse the wall of the base 5 to exert a frictional force on the pencil 27.

On notera également que l'on pourrait prévoir, en sus ou à la place des moyens de clipsage 11, 21, des bossages 35 et des creux 37 (voir figures 1, 2, 3, 4 et 6) complémentaires formés respectivement à l'intérieur du capuchon 3 et sur le corps 1 (ou inversement), permettant de maintenir ce capuchon et ce corps solidaires l'un de l'autre notamment pendant les opérations de transport et de stockage préalables au montage du capot sur un crayon.It should also be noted that, in addition to or instead of clipping means 11, 21, bosses 35 and recesses 37 (see FIG. Figures 1, 2, 3 , 4 and 6 ) complementary formed respectively inside the cap 3 and on the body 1 (or vice versa), to maintain this cap and this body integral with each other especially during transport and storage operations prior to assembly of the hood on a pencil.

On notera également que l'on pourrait prévoir une pluralité de pattes 19 en appui élastique contre le crayon 27, ces pattes pouvant être réparties de manière quelconque (c'est-à-dire régulièrement ou irrégulièrement) autour du capuchon 3.Note also that one could provide a plurality of tabs 19 in elastic support against the rod 27, these tabs can be distributed in any manner (that is to say regularly or irregularly) around the cap 3.

On pourrait également envisager la variante représentée aux figures 9 et 10, dans laquelle la nervure 23 s'étend plus bas que dans les modes de réalisation précédents, grâce à quoi la pointe, et surtout la mine 31 du crayon 27 est maintenue plus basse à l'intérieur du corps de capot 1.We could also consider the variant represented in Figures 9 and 10 , in which the rib 23 extends lower than in the previous embodiments, whereby the tip, and especially the lead 31 of the rod 27 is kept lower inside the hood body 1.

Ainsi, si ce corps de capot est fabriqué dans un matériau transparent, la mine 31 du crayon 27 peut être rendue visible de l'extérieur, ce qui offre une commodité et un agrément supplémentaires pour l'utilisatrice, la lame du taille-crayon restant quant à elle cachée par le capuchon opaque.Thus, if this bonnet body is made of a transparent material, the pencil lead 27 can be made visible from the outside, which provides additional convenience and enjoyment for the user, with the sharpener blade remaining as for it hidden by the opaque hood.

On notera également que l'on peut prévoir que la lame 19 soit sensiblement droite, comme cela est représenté sur les figures 9 et 10, auquel cas elle peut être sensiblement plus rigide que si elle était galbée (comme c'était le cas dans les modes de réalisation présentés précédemment).Note also that it can be provided that the blade 19 is substantially straight, as shown on the Figures 9 and 10 in which case it may be substantially stiffer than if it were curved (as was the case in the embodiments presented above).

On notera également que l'on peut prévoir de placer des nervures 41 sur la face intérieure du corps de capot 1, de manière à améliorer la tenue de ce corps sur le crayon 27.It will also be noted that it is possible to place ribs 41 on the inside face of the hood body 1, so as to improve the resistance of this body to the rod 27.

Ces nervures sont particulièrement visibles sur les figures 9 et 11.These ribs are particularly visible on Figures 9 and 11 .

On peut par exemple prévoir deux telles nervures, disposées chacune à environ 120° par rapport à la nervure 23.For example, two such ribs may be provided, each disposed at about 120 ° to the rib 23.

Dans la variante représentée aux figures 12 à 15, l'extrémité libre de la patte 19 comporte un cran 43 coopérant avec un épaulement 45 formé dans la rainure 9.In the variant shown in Figures 12 to 15 , the free end of the lug 19 comprises a notch 43 cooperating with a shoulder 45 formed in the groove 9.

Dans cette variante, comme dans celle des figures 2 à 7, il est nécessaire d'extraire le crayon 27 pour pouvoir séparer le capuchon 3 du corps 1. Lorsqu'on tire sur le capuchon 3 alors que le crayon 27 est encore en place à l'intérieur du corps 1, le corps 1 vient d'un seul bloc avec le capuchon 3, du fait du blocage réalisé par le cran 43.In this variant, as in that of Figures 2 to 7 , it is necessary to extract the pencil 27 to separate the cap 3 of the body 1. When pulling on the cap 3 while the pencil 27 is still in place inside the body 1, the body 1 comes from a single block with the cap 3, because of the blocking made by the notch 43.

On notera que la présence d'une rainure 9 sur la face intérieure du corps 1 est facultative, et que l'épaulement 45 pourrait être formé directement dans la paroi intérieure du corps 1.It will be noted that the presence of a groove 9 on the inner face of the body 1 is optional, and that the shoulder 45 could be formed directly in the inner wall of the body 1.

Dans la variante représentée aux figures 16 à 19, le corps 1 et le capuchon 3 présentent une section ovale, et la patte 19 vient se positionner à l'intérieur d'une rainure 9 formée de préférence dans la partie la plus épaisse du corps 1.In the variant shown in Figures 16 to 19 , the body 1 and the cap 3 have an oval section, and the tab 19 is positioned inside a groove 9 formed preferably in the thickest part of the body 1.

On notera bien entendu que le capot selon l'invention peut être vendu soit seul, afin d'être adapté ultérieurement sur un ou plusieurs crayons, soit avec un crayon dont il recouvre déjà l'extrémité.Note of course that the hood according to the invention can be sold either alone, in order to be adapted later on one or more rods, or with a pencil whose end is already covered.

On notera également que le capot selon l'invention peut servir à n'importe quel type de crayon, qu'il soit cosmétique ou non.Note also that the hood according to the invention can be used for any type of pencil, whether cosmetic or not.
