Description

L'invention concerne un système d'application d'un produit liquide pâteux sur une personne ou sur un objet.The invention relates to a system for applying a pasty liquid product to a person or an object.

En particulier, le système permet l'application d'un produit tel qu'un rouge à lèvres liquide (ou lip gloss en anglais) ou un produit de soin pour les lèvres. En effet, il existe une demande pour remplacer les rouges à lèvres en bâton qui sont appliqués par frottement, par des rouges à lèvres liquides à appliquer directement sur les lèvres.In particular, the system allows the application of a product such as a liquid lipstick (or lip gloss in English) or a care product for the lips. Indeed, there is a demand to replace the stick lipsticks that are applied by friction, with liquid lipsticks to be applied directly to the lips.

Pour appliquer un rouge à lèvres liquide, il est connu (voir le document US 2005/0089353 A1 ) d'utiliser un dispositif comprenant un récipient dans lequel le produit liquide pâteux est conditionné, l'application pouvant être réalisée soit par appui sur le récipient souple qui est alors équipé d'un applicateur, soit par immersion d'un pinceau d'application dans le récipient.To apply a liquid lipstick, it is known (see the document US 2005/0089353 A1 ) to use a device comprising a container in which the pasty liquid product is packaged, the application being able to be carried out either by pressing on the flexible container which is then equipped with an applicator, or by immersion of an application brush in the container.

Toutefois, de tels dispositifs présentent l'inconvénient d'une manipulation compliquée qui, de plus, s'éloigne de la gestuelle à laquelle les utilisatrices sont habituées pour appliquer un rouge à lèvres en bâton.However, such devices have the disadvantage of complicated handling which, moreover, away from the gesture to which users are accustomed to apply a stick lipstick.

On connaît par ailleurs des dispositifs de distribution de produit liquide pâteux utilisant un piston coulissant à l'intérieur d'une culasse définissant un volume de conditionnement du produit.Paste liquid product dispensing devices are also known using a piston sliding inside a cylinder head defining a volume of packaging of the product.

Toutefois, de tels dispositifs présentent l'inconvénient d'être relativement compliqués à réaliser, et donc de présenter un coût important.However, such devices have the disadvantage of being relatively complicated to achieve, and therefore to present a significant cost.

L'invention vise à perfectionner les dispositifs d'application d'un produit liquide pâteux selon l'art antérieur en proposant une gestuelle connue pour les rouges à lèvres en bâton, ledit dispositif étant en outre particulièrement simple à réaliser.The invention aims to improve the devices for applying a pasty liquid product according to the prior art by providing a known gesture for stick lipsticks, said device being furthermore particularly simple to produce.

A cet effet, l'invention propose un système d'application d'un produit liquide pâteux, comprenant un corps inférieur d'actionnement qui est monté en rotation manuelle sur un corps supérieur, et un applicateur solidaire dudit corps supérieur en étant pourvu d'un orifice de distribution du produit, ledit système comprenant en outre une poche souple dans laquelle le produit est conditionné, ladite poche étant logée dans les corps supérieur et inférieur en étant d'une part solidaire en rotation du corps inférieur et d'autre part solidaire de l'applicateur en étant en communication étanche avec l'orifice, de sorte à permettre la distribution du produit par torsion de la poche lors de l'actionnement en rotation du corps inférieur.For this purpose, the invention proposes a system for applying a pasty liquid product, comprising a lower actuating body which is mounted in rotation manually on an upper body, and an applicator secured to said upper body being provided with a product dispensing orifice, said system further comprising a flexible bag in which the product is packaged, said bag being housed in the upper and lower bodies being on the one hand integral in rotation of the lower body and on the other hand secured to the applicator by being in sealed communication with the orifice, so as to allow the product to be dispensed by twisting the pocket during actuation in rotation of the lower body.

En relation avec les figures, on décrit un système d'application d'un produit P liquide pâteux, tel qu'un rouge à lèvres liquide (ou lip gloss en anglais) ou un produit de soins pour les lèvres. Selon d'autres réalisations, le système selon l'invention permet l'application d'un produit liquide pâteux sur une autre zone d'une personne, notamment sur la peau, ou d'un autre type de produit notamment à usage cosmétique ou thérapeutique, ou encore l'application du produit sur un objet.In connection with the figures, there is described a system for applying a pasty liquid product P, such as a liquid lipstick (or lip gloss in English) or a care product for the lips. According to other embodiments, the system according to the invention allows the application of a pasty liquid product to another area of a person, especially on the skin, or another type of product, especially for cosmetic or therapeutic use, or the application of the product on an object.

Le système comprend un corps inférieur 1 d'actionnement qui est monté en rotation manuelle sur un corps supérieur 2, lesdits corps étant réalisés en matériau rigide notamment en plastique ou en métal. En particulier, le corps inférieur 1 est clipsé dans le corps supérieur 2 par l'intermédiaire d'une gorge 3 et d'un jonc 4 qui sont agencés pour permettre la rotation relative des deux corps 1, 2.The system comprises a lower actuating body 1 which is mounted in manual rotation on an upper body 2, said bodies being made of rigid material, in particular of plastic or metal. In particular, the lower body 1 is clipped into the upper body 2 via a groove 3 and a rod 4 which are arranged to allow the relative rotation of the two bodies 1, 2.

Le système comprend également un applicateur 5, également en matériau rigide ou en matériau semi-rigide, notamment transparent ou au moins translucide. L'applicateur 5 est solidaire du corps supérieur 2, ledit applicateur étant pourvu d'un orifice 6 de distribution du produit P. Dans les modes de réalisation représentés, l'applicateur 5 comprend une base qui est associée dans un logement 7 formé dans la paroi supérieure 8 du corps supérieur 2, et une partie saillante 9 pourvue de l'orifice 6 de distribution. Plus précisément, la base comprend une jupe 10 dont la périphérie est emmanchée de façon étanche dans le logement 7, et la partie saillante 9 s'étend au-delà de la paroi supérieure 8.The system also comprises an applicator 5, also of rigid material or of semi-rigid material, in particular transparent or at least translucent. The applicator 5 is integral with the upper body 2, said applicator being provided with a dispensing orifice 6 of the product P. In the embodiments shown, the applicator 5 comprises a base which is associated in a housing 7 formed in the upper wall 8 of the upper body 2, and a projecting portion 9 provided with the orifice 6 of distribution. More specifically, the base comprises a skirt 10 whose periphery is sealed in the housing 7, and the projecting portion 9 extends beyond the upper wall 8.

Par ailleurs, le système comprend un capot 11 de protection de la partie saillante 9 qui est monté sur le bord de la paroi supérieure 8, notamment en prévoyant la coopération d'un jonc 12 d'encliquetage du capot 11 sur ledit bord. Pour des raisons esthétiques, le capot 11 peut être prévu transparent ou au moins translucide afin de laisser apparent l'applicateur 5.Furthermore, the system comprises a cover 11 for protecting the projecting portion 9 which is mounted on the edge of the upper wall 8, in particular by providing for the cooperation of a snap ring 12 of the cover 11 on said edge. For aesthetic reasons, the cover 11 can be provided transparent or at least translucent so as to leave the applicator 5 visible.

En outre, l'orifice de distribution 6 est formé sur une zone biseautée 13 de la partie saillante 9 de l'applicateur 5, ladite zone étant agencée notamment plane pour faciliter l'application du produit P sur les lèvres. Par conséquent, l'applicateur 5 schématisé sur les figures présente sensiblement la forme d'un raisin de rouge à lèvres en bâton.In addition, the dispensing orifice 6 is formed on a bevelled zone 13 of the projecting portion 9 of the applicator 5, said zone being arranged in particular flat to facilitate the application of the product P on the lips. Therefore, the applicator 5 schematically in the figures is substantially in the form of a grape of stick lipstick.

L'orifice de distribution 6 peut présenter une géométrie adaptée à l'application envisagée, notamment une fente droite ou non, continue ou discontinue. En variante, une pluralité d'orifices 6 de distribution peut être prévue, notamment une pluralité de petits trous. En outre, la zone biseauté 13 peut être revêtue d'un flockage ou d'un textile afin d'adoucir le contact avec les lèvres et de favoriser la répartition du produit P lors de son application.The dispensing orifice 6 may have a geometry adapted to the intended application, in particular a straight or not slot, continuous or discontinuous. Alternatively, a plurality of dispensing orifices 6 may be provided, including a plurality of small holes. In addition, the beveled area 13 may be coated with a flocking or textile to soften the contact with the lips and promote the distribution of the product P during its application.

Le système comprend également une poche 14 souple et étanche, par exemple réalisée en matériau élastomérique, dans laquelle le produit P à appliquer est conditionné. Dans les modes de réalisation représentés sur les figures 1 à 4, la poche 14 est formée d'un manchon tubulaire comprenant une ouverture inférieure 14a et une ouverture supérieure 14b.The system also comprises a pocket 14 flexible and waterproof, for example made of elastomeric material, wherein the product P to be applied is packaged. In the embodiments shown in Figures 1 to 4 the pocket 14 is formed of a tubular sleeve comprising a lower opening 14a and an upper opening 14b.

La poche 14 est logée dans les corps inférieur 1 et supérieur 2 afin de la protéger. En outre, la poche 14 est d'une part solidaire en rotation du corps inférieur 1 et d'autre part solidaire de l'applicateur 5 en étant en communication étanche avec l'orifice 6. Ainsi, lors de l'actionnement en rotation du corps inférieur 1 dans un sens, celui-ci entraîne en rotation la poche souple 14 qui est solidaire par ailleurs de l'applicateur 5 fixe. Il en résulte donc une torsion de la poche souple 14 (figure 2), et donc une diminution du volume de conditionnement du produit P. Le produit P est alors mis en pression dans la poche 14, ladite pression induisant une distribution du produit P au travers de l'orifice 6.The pocket 14 is housed in the lower body 1 and upper 2 to protect it. In addition, the pocket 14 is integral in rotation with the lower body 1 and secondly secured to the applicator 5 while being in leaktight communication with the orifice 6. Thus, during the actuation in rotation of the lower body 1 in one direction, it rotates the flexible pouch 14 which is also secured to the fixed applicator 5. This results in a twisting of the flexible pouch 14 ( figure 2 ), and thus a decrease in the packaging volume of the product P. The product P is then pressurized in the bag 14, said pressure inducing a distribution of the product P through the orifice 6.

Sur la figure 5, l'épaisseur e de l'enveloppe de la poche souple 14 augmente depuis le corps inférieur 1 jusqu'à l'applicateur 5. Ainsi, la poche 14 est d'abord mise en torsion en partie inférieure, afin de mieux vider ladite poche au cours des torsions successives. En variante non représentée, d'autre moyens permettant de favoriser la torsion progressive de la poche 14 depuis son ouverture inférieure 14a jusqu'à son ouverture supérieure 14b peuvent être envisagés.On the figure 5 , the thickness e of the envelope of the flexible bag 14 increases from the lower body 1 to the applicator 5. Thus, the pocket 14 is first twisted in the lower part, to better empty said pocket during successive twists. In variant not shown, other means for promoting the progressive twisting of the pocket 14 since its lower opening 14a to its upper opening 14b can be envisaged.

Sur les figures 1 à 4, l'ouverture supérieure 14b est montée autour de la jupe 10 pour être interposée de façon étanche entre ladite jupe et le logement 7 lors de l'emmanchement.On the Figures 1 to 4 , the upper opening 14b is mounted around the skirt 10 to be interposed in a sealed manner between said skirt and the housing 7 during fitting.

En variante représentée sur la figure 5, au moins une partie de l'applicateur 5 peut être surmoulée par la poche souple 14, ladite poche pouvant être transparente ou au moins translucide. En particulier, sur cette figure, la surface extérieure de la partie saillante 9 est surmoulée, ainsi que la surface intérieure de la jupe 10. Dans ce cas, après le surmoulage, une fente 15 est réalisée dans la zone de la poche 14 qui est formée en regard de l'orifice de distribution 6.In a variant represented on the figure 5 at least a portion of the applicator 5 may be overmolded by the flexible pouch 14, said pouch may be transparent or at least translucent. In particular, in this figure, the outer surface of the projecting portion 9 is overmolded, as well as the inner surface of the skirt 10. In this case, after overmolding, a slot 15 is made in the area of the pocket 14 which is formed opposite the dispensing orifice 6.

Cette réalisation, outre l'aspect esthétique du recouvrement de la partie visible de l'applicateur 5 par la poche souple 14, présente notamment l'avantage de pouvoir améliorer le toucher de la zone biseautée 13 sur laquelle les lèvres sont destinées à venir en contact. En outre, le bord de la fente 15 peut former une lèvre d'étanchéité de l'orifice 6, ladite étanchéité étant rompue qu'en cas de mise en pression du produit P. Cette réalisation permet donc d'éviter, entre deux applications, les fuites de produit P au travers de l'orifice 6, ainsi que le séchage du produit P disposé à proximité de l'orifice 6.This embodiment, in addition to the aesthetic appearance of the covering of the visible part of the applicator 5 by the flexible bag 14, has the particular advantage of being able to improve the feel of the beveled area 13 on which the lips are intended to come into contact. . In addition, the edge of the slot 15 may form a sealing lip of the orifice 6, said sealing being broken in the case of pressurizing the product P. This embodiment thus makes it possible to avoid, between two applications, the leakage of product P through the orifice 6, as well as the drying of the product P disposed near the orifice 6.

Par ailleurs, le corps inférieur 1 comprend un alésage 16 sur lequel l'ouverture inférieure 14a de la poche 14 est montée, un moyen d'obturation inférieur de la poche souple 14 étant associé dans ledit alésage. Plus précisément, l'alésage 16 présente une paroi annulaire axiale contre laquelle la surface extérieure de l'ouverture 14a est disposée, le moyen d'obturation venant serrer de façon étanche ladite surface contre ladite paroi.Furthermore, the lower body 1 comprises a bore 16 on which the lower opening 14a of the pocket 14 is mounted, a lower closure means of the flexible bag 14 being associated in said bore. More specifically, the bore 16 has an axial annular wall against which the outer surface of the opening 14a is disposed, the sealing means sealingly sealing said surface against said wall.

Le moyen d'obturation représenté est formé d'une bille 17, par exemple en verre pour être transparente ou au moins translucide afin de laisser apparent au moins la teinte du produit P au travers d'elle, ladite bille étant montée dans l'alésage 16 postérieurement au conditionnement du produit P dans la poche 14. En variante non représentée, un bouchon d'obturation peut être utilisé, ou le moulage d'une cire d'obturation peut être formé dans l'alésage 16 après conditionnement du produit P.The sealing means shown is formed of a ball 17, for example glass to be transparent or at least translucent so as to leave at least the color of the product P visible through it, said ball being mounted in the bore 16 subsequent to the packaging of the product P in the pocket 14. As a variant not shown, a closure cap may be used, or the molding of a sealing wax may be formed in the bore 16 after conditioning the product P.

En relation avec les figures 6 à 8, on décrit ci-dessous un dispositif 18 de rotation anti-retour par l'intermédiaire duquel le corps inférieur 1 est monté sur le corps supérieure 2 afin d'empêcher la rotation dudit corps inférieur dans le sens S opposé à l'actionnement. En effet, la mise en pression du produit P s'entend dans les modes de réalisation décrits par des torsions cumulatives de la poche 14 dans un même sens au fur et à mesure des applications.In relation to Figures 6 to 8 , below is described a device 18 of anti-return rotation through which the lower body 1 is mounted on the upper body 2 to prevent the rotation of said lower body in the direction S opposite the actuation. Indeed, the pressurization of the product P is understood in the embodiments described by cumulative torsion of the pocket 14 in the same direction as and when the applications.

En outre, le dispositif 18 de rotation anti-retour peut comprendre des moyens agencés pour permettre un débattement angulaire de décompression dans le sens S opposé à l'actionnement. En effet, lors d'un actionnement, la distribution du produit P peut présenter une certaine inertie qui, en cas d'arrêt de l'actionnement, conduit à une distribution ultérieure du produit P. Pour limiter cette distribution non souhaitée, le débattement angulaire permet une légère détorsion de la poche 14 en fin d'actionnement, de sorte à stopper immédiatement la distribution. En outre, la dépression ainsi créée peut être agencée pour, en fin d'actionnement, aspirer le produit P depuis l'orifice 6 dans la poche 14.In addition, the anti-return rotation device 18 may comprise means arranged to allow an angular decompression travel in the direction S opposite the actuation. Indeed, during an actuation, the distribution of the product P may have a certain inertia which, in case of stopping the actuation, leads to a subsequent distribution of the product P. To limit this unwanted distribution, the angular movement allows a slight detorsion of the pocket 14 at the end of actuation, so as to immediately stop the distribution. In addition, the depression thus created can be arranged to, at the end of actuation, suck the product P from the orifice 6 into the pocket 14.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, les moyens de débattement angulaire comprennent un ergot 19 qui est engagé dans une lumière angulaire 20, la course de l'ergot 19 dans la lumière 20 définissant le débattement angulaire de décompression.In the embodiment shown, the angular deflection means comprise a lug 19 which is engaged in an angular slot 20, the stroke of the lug 19 in the slot 20 defining the angular displacement of decompression.

Plus précisément, le dispositif de rotation anti-retour comprend une bague de décompression 21 qui est interposé entre les corps supérieur 2 et inférieur 1, ledit dispositif comprenant, entre la bague 21 et un corps, une coopération entre un ergot 22 et des crans 23 d'anti-retour et, entre la bague 21 et l'autre corps, la coopération de l'ergot 19 avec la lumière 20 de décompression.More specifically, the non-return rotation device comprises a decompression ring 21 which is interposed between the upper body 2 and lower 1, said device comprising, between the ring 21 and a body, a cooperation between a lug 22 and notches 23 anti-return and, between the ring 21 and the other body, the cooperation of the lug 19 with the decompression light 20.

Sur les figures 6 et 7, les crans 23 d'anti-retour sont formés sur la paroi interne du corps supérieur 2 et l'ergot 22 est formé sur la paroi extérieure de la bague 21. En outre, la bague 21 présente, à l'opposé de l'ergot 22, la lumière 20 de décompression, l'ergot 19 étant formé sur la paroi externe du corps inférieur 1.On the Figures 6 and 7 , the notches 23 of non-return are formed on the inner wall of the upper body 2 and the lug 22 is formed on the outer wall of the ring 21. In addition, the ring 21 has, opposite the 22, the decompression light 20, the lug 19 being formed on the outer wall of the lower body 1.

Ainsi, en cas d'actionnement en rotation du corps inférieur 1, l'ergot se déplace dans la lumière 20 jusqu'à être en appui sur sa paroi avant (figure 7), ledit appui permettant ensuite d'entrainer l'ergot 22 opposé dans la succession de cran 23 anti-retour pour induire la torsion irréversible de la poche 14. Lors de l'arrêt de l'actionnement en rotation du corps inférieur 1, la position angulaire du corps supérieur 2 par rapport à la bague 21 est maintenue par l'engagement de l'ergot 22 dans un cran 23 anti-retour. Toutefois, l'effort exercé sur le corps inférieur 1 par la poche 14 souple tordue induit un déplacement en rotation dudit corps par rapport à la bague 21 dans le sens S opposé à l'actionnement, l'amplitude du déplacement étant définie par la course de l'ergot 19 dans la lumière 20. Il en résulte donc une légère détorsion de la poche souple 14.Thus, in case of actuation in rotation of the lower body 1, the lug moves in the lumen 20 until it bears on its front wall ( figure 7 ), said support then making it possible to drive the opposite lug 22 in the non-return notch succession 23 to induce the irreversible torsion of the pocket 14. When stopping the rotational actuation of the lower body 1, the angular position of the upper body 2 relative to the ring 21 is maintained by the engagement of the pin 22 in a notch 23 anti-return. However, the force exerted on the lower body 1 by the twisted flexible pocket 14 induces a rotational movement of said body relative to the ring 21 in the opposite direction S to the actuation, the amplitude of the displacement being defined by the race of the lug 19 in the light 20. This therefore results in a slight detorsion of the flexible bag 14.

Sur les figures 6 et 7, la bague 21 est interposée radialement entre les corps 1, 2 qui présentent une zone de recouvrement radial. Cette réalisation peut induire une augmentation du diamètre du système d'application. En variante représentée sur la figure 8, la bague 21 est interposée axialement entre les corps 1, 2 de sorte à éviter cette augmentation de diamètre. En outre, sur la figure 8, les crans 23 d'anti-retour son formés sur la bague 21 et l'ergot 22 est formé sur le corps supérieur 2.On the Figures 6 and 7 , the ring 21 is interposed radially between the bodies 1, 2 which have a radial overlap zone. This embodiment can induce an increase in the diameter of the application system. In a variant represented on the figure 8 , the ring 21 is interposed axially between the bodies 1, 2 so as to avoid this increase in diameter. In addition, on the figure 8 the non-return notches 23 are formed on the ring 21 and the lug 22 is formed on the upper body 2.

En relation avec les figures 3 et 4, on décrit ci-dessous un deuxième mode de réalisation d'un système d'application selon l'invention, les caractéristiques décrites ci-dessus pouvant être prévues dans cette réalisation.In relation to Figures 3 and 4 , a second embodiment of an application system according to the invention is described below, the characteristics described above being able to be provided in this embodiment.

En plus du premier mode de réalisation, le système comprend un corps extérieur 24 et une base 25 qui est montée en rotation manuelle sur ledit corps extérieur. Le corps supérieur 2 est monté en translation réversible dans le corps extérieur 24 entre une position rétractée (figure 3) dans laquelle l'applicateur 5 est logé dans le corps extérieur 24 et une position d'utilisation (figure 4) dans laquelle ledit applicateur est saillant dudit corps extérieur. En particulier, en position rétractée, l'extrémité supérieure de l'applicateur 5 est disposée affleurant de la paroi supérieure du corps extérieur 24.In addition to the first embodiment, the system comprises an outer body 24 and a base 25 which is mounted for manual rotation on said outer body. The upper body 2 is mounted in reversible translation in the body outside 24 between a retracted position ( figure 3 ) in which the applicator 5 is housed in the outer body 24 and a position of use ( figure 4 ) wherein said applicator is protruding from said outer body. In particular, in the retracted position, the upper end of the applicator 5 is arranged flush with the upper wall of the outer body 24.

En outre, le corps inférieur 1 est monté en translation dans la base 25 pour déplacer réversiblement le corps supérieur 2 entre ses deux positions par rotation de la base 25 respectivement dans un sens, et pour être entrainé en rotation par ladite base lorsque ledit applicateur est en position d'utilisation.In addition, the lower body 1 is mounted in translation in the base 25 to reversibly move the upper body 2 between its two positions by rotation of the base 25 respectively in one direction, and to be rotated by said base when said applicator is in position of use.

Ainsi, la gestuelle d'application du produit P liquide pâteux s'apparente d'autant plus à celle d'un rouge à lèvres en bâton, dans laquelle le raisin, comme l'applicateur 5 selon l'invention, est déplaçable réversiblement en translation par l'intermédiaire d'une base 25 actionnable manuellement en rotation. En outre, la disposition de l'applicateur 5 en position rétractée permet de garantir sa protection entre deux applications.Thus, the gesture of application of the pasty liquid product P is all the more similar to that of a stick lipstick, in which the grape, like the applicator 5 according to the invention, is reversibly displaceable in translation. via a base 25 manually operable in rotation. In addition, the arrangement of the applicator 5 in the retracted position makes it possible to guarantee its protection between two applications.

Dans le mode de réalisation décrit, la surface intérieure de la base 25 comprend une gorge en hélice 26, le corps inférieur 1 comprenant un ergot 27 extérieur qui est engagé dans ladite gorge sur la course de translation. En outre, l'ergot 27 peut venir en butée axiale en fin de gorge 26 lorsque l'applicateur 5 est en position d'utilisation, de sorte à permettre l'entrainement en rotation du corps inférieur 1 par l'intermédiaire de la base 25.In the embodiment described, the inner surface of the base 25 comprises a helical groove 26, the lower body 1 comprising an outer lug 27 which is engaged in said groove on the translational stroke. In addition, the lug 27 may come into axial abutment at the end of the groove 26 when the applicator 5 is in the position of use, so as to allow the rotational drive of the lower body 1 through the base 25. .

Par ailleurs, la surface interne du corps extérieur 24 comprend une cannelure axiale 28 dans laquelle un ergot extérieur 29 du corps supérieur 2 est guidé. L'ergot 29 peut être en butée axiale dans la cannelure 28 lorsque l'applicateur 5 est en position d'utilisation, de sorte à permettre l'entrainement en rotation du corps inférieur 1 par l'intermédiaire de la base 25. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, deux ensembles ergots 29 - cannelure 28 sont prévus de part et d'autre de l'axe de translation.Furthermore, the inner surface of the outer body 24 comprises an axial groove 28 in which an outer lug 29 of the upper body 2 is guided. The lug 29 may be in axial abutment in the groove 28 when the applicator 5 is in the use position, so as to allow the rotational drive of the lower body 1 through the base 25. In the embodiment shown, two sets of lugs 29 - groove 28 are provided on either side of the axis of translation.

En variante, éventuellement complémentaire de la mise en butée axiale d'au moins un ergot 27, 29, le corps supérieur 2, notamment la périphérie de la paroi 8, peut être en butée axiale en position d'utilisation dans le corps supérieur 24, notamment dans l'ouverture supérieure dudit corps, de sorte à permettre l'entrainement en rotation du corps inférieur 1 par l'intermédiaire de la base 25.As a variant, possibly complementary to the axial abutment of at least one lug 27, 29, the upper body 2, in particular the periphery of the wall 8, can be in axial abutment in the position of use in the upper body 24, in particular in the upper opening of said body, so as to allow the rotational drive of the lower body 1 through the base 25.

Ainsi, la rotation de la base 25 provoque successivement la montée de l'applicateur 5 puis la torsion de la poche 14. Après application, l'utilisatrice tourne la base 25 en sens inverse pour rétracter l'applicateur 5 dans le corps extérieur 24, la torsion de la poche 14 demeurant inchangée du fait de la présence du dispositif 18 de rotation anti-retour entre les corps inférieur 1 et supérieur 2.Thus, the rotation of the base 25 successively causes the rise of the applicator 5 and the torsion of the pocket 14. After application, the user rotates the base 25 in the opposite direction to retract the applicator 5 into the outer body 24, the torsion of the pocket 14 remaining unchanged due to the presence of the device 18 of rotation anti-return between the lower body 1 and upper 2.
