Description

La présente invention concerne un mécanisme tournant d'un étui cosmétique, plus particulièrement d'un stylo de rouge à lèvres.The present invention relates to a rotating mechanism of a cosmetic case, more particularly of a lipstick pen.

Des mécanismes tournants sont divulgués, par exemple, par les documents DE 10 2010 031803 A1 et FR 2 198713 A1 .Rotating mechanisms are disclosed, for example, by documents DE 10 2010 031 803 A1 and FR 2 198713 A1 .

De manière commune, tel que divulgué par les documents FR 2 955 469 et US 5 597 252 , un mécanisme tournant comprend un curseur muni d'ergots enchâssés dans une gaine intérieure équipée de deux lumières longitudinales, qui est elle-même enchâssée dans une enveloppe extérieure comprenant deux rainures hélicoïdales. Les ergots du curseur traversent les lumières de la gaine intérieure et se prolongent dans les rainures hélicoïdales de l'enveloppe extérieure. Le mécanisme tournant étant solidaire par l'enveloppe extérieure à un conditionnement inférieur. Le curseur, équipé d'un raisin d'un produit cosmétique, tel qu'un bâton de rouge à lèvres ou de crème labiale, subit un mouvement de translation axiale, par la rotation de l'ensemble formé par l'enveloppe spiralée et le conditionnement inférieur. Un capot de fermeture vient s'emmancher sur l'extrémité supérieure du mécanisme tournant, en correspondance du conditionnement inférieur, afin de fermer hermétiquement l'étui cosmétique ainsi constitué.Commonly, as disclosed by the documents FR 2 955 469 and US 5,597,252 , a rotating mechanism comprises a slider provided with lugs embedded in an inner sheath equipped with two longitudinal slots, which is itself embedded in an outer casing comprising two helical grooves. The slider tabs pass through the slots in the inner liner and extend into the helical grooves in the outer casing. The rotating mechanism being secured by the outer casing to a lower packaging. The cursor, equipped with a grape of a cosmetic product, such as a stick of lipstick or lip cream, undergoes an axial translational movement, by the rotation of the assembly formed by the spiral casing and the lower packaging. A closing cap fits over the upper end of the rotating mechanism, in correspondence with the lower packaging, in order to hermetically close the cosmetic case thus formed.

Un raisin de rouge à lèvres ou de crème labiale, est en général coulé par le fond de l'étui cosmétique ou moulé préalablement et monté dans le curseur.A grape of lipstick or lip cream is generally poured from the bottom of the cosmetic case or molded beforehand and mounted in the slider.

Le conditionnement inférieur et le mécanisme ont en général une collaboration qui nécessite un montage particulier, qui ne peut être réalisé par le conditionneur final du raisin. A cet effet, le mécanisme tournant est pré-assemblé au conditionnement inférieur par le distributeur du mécanisme.The lower packaging and the mechanism generally have a collaboration that requires special assembly, which cannot be achieved by the final conditioner of the grape. For this purpose, the rotating mechanism is pre-assembled to the lower packaging by the distributor of the mechanism.

Le conditionnement inférieur comporte un orifice de remplissage, tel que divulgué par le document US 5 597 252 , qui après coulage du raisin est obturé par un couvercle approprié. Cependant, une erreur de placement ou de coulage du raisin, rend inutilisable le mécanisme et le conditionnement inférieur, qui doivent être jetés.The lower packaging has a filling orifice, as disclosed by the document US 5,597,252 , which after pouring the grapes is closed by a suitable cover. However, an error in placing or pouring the grapes, renders the mechanism and the lower packaging unusable, which must be discarded.

L'extrémité supérieure du mécanisme tournant du document FR 2 955 469 , au contact des lèvres de l'utilisateur, par laquelle sort le raisin d'un produit cosmétique, est biseautée, et portée par une pièce agencée au centre du mécanisme. Cette pièce est la gaine intérieure dans laquelle est mû le curseur. Le profilé cylindrique de la gaine intérieure n'est pas constant, à savoir constitué de deux parties cylindriques ayant deux diamètres différents. Dans le cas d'une gaine intérieure en matériau métallique, l'extrémité supérieure de ces mécanismes tournants, comporte donc des parties à vif, qui peuvent irritées les lèvres de l'utilisateur. Ces parties à vif ne peuvent être arrondies par un procédé d'emboutissage.The upper end of the document turning mechanism FR 2 955 469 , in contact with the user's lips, through which the grape leaves a cosmetic product, is bevelled, and carried by a part arranged in the center of the mechanism. This part is the inner sheath in which the cursor is moved. The cylindrical profile of the inner sheath is not constant, namely consisting of two cylindrical parts having two different diameters. In the case of an inner sheath made of metallic material, the upper end of these rotating mechanisms therefore comprises live parts, which can irritate the user's lips. These raw parts cannot be rounded by a stamping process.

La présente invention propose ainsi un perfectionnement d'un mécanisme tournant d'un étui cosmétique, permettant de pallier aux inconvénients précités.The present invention thus proposes an improvement of a rotating mechanism of a cosmetic case, making it possible to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks.

A cet effet, on prévoit selon l'invention un mécanisme tournant d'un étui cosmétique, tel que défini dans la revendication 1.To this end, according to the invention there is provided a rotating mechanism of a cosmetic case, as defined in claim 1.

Ainsi le mécanisme tournant d'un étui cosmétique, selon l'invention, comprend un curseur équipé de deux ergots qui traversent chacun une embrasure hélicoïdale d'une enveloppe spiralée emmanchée sur le curseur, tandis que les ergots se prolongent chacun dans une lumière longitudinale agencée dans une chemise extérieure emmanchée sur l'enveloppe spiralée.Thus the rotating mechanism of a cosmetic case, according to the invention, comprises a slider equipped with two lugs which each pass through a helical embrasure of a spiral casing fitted on the slider, while the lugs each extend into a longitudinal slot arranged in an outer jacket fitted onto the spiral envelope.

Ajoutons que l'enveloppe spiralée comprend un corps de pièce cylindrique dans lequel sont agencées les deux embrasures hélicoïdales, tandis que le corps de pièce cylindrique est prolongé par une couronne.Let us add that the spiral casing comprises a cylindrical part body in which the two helical embrasures are arranged, while the cylindrical part body is extended by a crown.

Notons que la chemise extérieure comprend une nervure intérieure périphérique qui vient s'emboîter dans une rainure périphérique agencée dans l'enveloppe spiralée.Note that the outer jacket includes a peripheral inner rib which fits into a peripheral groove arranged in the spiral casing.

Précisons que la rainure périphérique est localisée en dessous des extrémités inférieures des embrasures hélicoïdales agencées dans le corps de pièce cylindrique de l'enveloppe spiralée.Note that the peripheral groove is located below the lower ends of the helical embrasures arranged in the body of the cylindrical part of the spiral casing.

Selon un mode de réalisation, les ergots sont mobiles au moins transversalement.According to one embodiment, the lugs are movable at least transversely.

Selon une caractéristique, l'extrémité inférieure du corps de pièce cylindrique de l'enveloppe spiralée comprend au moins une lamelle flexible s'étendant vers l'extérieur.According to one characteristic, the lower end of the body of the cylindrical part of the spiral casing comprises at least one flexible strip extending outwardly.

Selon l'invention, le curseur est composé en deux parties, à savoir une extrémité supérieure comprenant un berceau destiné à recevoir un produit cosmétique, et une partie cylindrique allongée dans laquelle sont agencés les ergots à son extrémité inférieure.According to the invention, the slider is made up of two parts, namely an upper end comprising a cradle intended to receive a cosmetic product, and an elongated cylindrical part in which the lugs are arranged at its lower end.

Selon le mode de réalisation précédent, le diamètre extérieur de la partie cylindrique allongée est sensiblement égal au diamètre intérieur de l'enveloppe spiralée, tandis que le diamètre extérieur du berceau est sensiblement égal au diamètre intérieur de la chemise extérieure.According to the previous embodiment, the outer diameter of the elongated cylindrical part is substantially equal to the inner diameter of the spiral casing, while the outer diameter of the cradle is substantially equal to the inner diameter of the outer jacket.

Selon une caractéristique supplémentaire, la partie supérieure de la couronne comprend une butée périphérique limitant le débattement de l'emmanchement de la chemise extérieure.According to an additional characteristic, the upper part of the crown comprises a peripheral stop limiting the movement of the fitting of the outer sleeve.

Selon l'invention, le mécanisme tournant est constitué de trois corps de pièce, à savoir du curseur, de l'enveloppe spiralée et de la chemise extérieure.According to the invention, the rotating mechanism consists of three part bodies, namely the slider, the spiral casing and the outer jacket.

Selon un mode d'exécution, l'enveloppe spiralée comprend une rainure supérieure assemblée à une nervure supérieure agencée dans la chemise extérieure.According to one embodiment, the spiral casing comprises an upper groove assembled with an upper rib arranged in the outer jacket.

Le mécanisme tournant (1) est composé d'un curseur (2), d'une enveloppe spiralée (3) et d'une chemise extérieure (4).Thus, the rotating mechanism (1), according to the invention, is adapted to a lipstick pen and comprises three part bodies, mounted nested one inside the other. The rotating mechanism (1) is composed of a slider (2), a spiral casing (3) and an outer jacket (4).

Il est entendu par chemise extérieure (4), le corps de pièce au contact au moins d'un conditionnement supérieur, tel qu'un capot de fermeture amovible, tel qu'explicité plus en détail dans la suite de la description.The term “outer jacket (4)” is understood to mean the part body in contact with at least one upper packaging, such as a removable closure cover, as explained in more detail in the remainder of the description.

Le curseur (2) et l'enveloppe spiralée (3) sont préférentiellement en matériau synthétique, tandis que la chemise extérieure (4) est préférentiellement en matériau métallique.The slider (2) and the spiral casing (3) are preferably made of synthetic material, while the outer jacket (4) is preferably made of metallic material.

Dans la suite de la description, il est entendu que le mécanisme tournant (1) est en position d'utilisation, à savoir l'extrémité supérieure du mécanisme tournant (1) dirigée vers le haut, tel qu'illustré aux figures 1 à 13.In the remainder of the description, it is understood that the rotating mechanism (1) is in the position of use, namely the upper end of the rotating mechanism (1) directed upwards, as illustrated in figures 1 to 13 .

Il est également entendu qu'une position axiale correspond à une position longitudinale dirigée de haut en bas, et on entend par une position transversale, une position perpendiculaire à l'axe passant par l'extrémité supérieure et l'extrémité inférieure du mécanisme tournant (1).It is also understood that an axial position corresponds to a longitudinal position directed from top to bottom, and by a transverse position is meant a position perpendicular to the axis passing through the upper end and the lower end of the rotating mechanism ( 1).

A titre indicatif, on appelle un stylo de rouge à lèvre un étui cosmétique, qui a généralement un diamètre inférieur et une longueur plus importante, qu'un tube de rouge à lèvres ou de crème labiale classique. Le curseur a ainsi une longueur plus importante que celle d'un étui cosmétique classique.As an indication, a lipstick pen is called a cosmetic case, which generally has a smaller diameter and a greater length, than a tube of conventional lipstick or lip cream. The slider thus has a longer length than that of a conventional cosmetic case.

Ce mécanisme tournant (1) est associé à un conditionnement inférieur et un conditionnement supérieur, à savoir une embase à son extrémité inférieure, en correspondance, d'un capot de fermeture amovible qui vient s'emmancher sur l'extrémité supérieure libre du mécanisme tournant (1) et vient en position fermée se positionner autour de la chemise extérieure (4) pour fermer complètement l'étui cosmétique de manière hermétique, mais il pourrait en être autrement, le capot de fermeture vient s'emmancher indirectement autour de la chemise extérieure (4), via une nervure annulaire agencée en périphérie inférieure de cette dernière.This rotating mechanism (1) is associated with a lower packaging and an upper packaging, namely a base at its lower end, in correspondence with a removable closing cover which fits onto the free upper end of the rotating mechanism. (1) and comes in the closed position and is positioned around the outer jacket (4) to completely close the cosmetic case in an airtight manner, but it could be otherwise, the closure cap comes to fit indirectly around the outer jacket (4), via an annular rib arranged on the lower periphery of the latter.

Ces trois corps de pièce ont des profils généraux cylindriques, adaptés de telle sorte que le curseur (2) soit enchâssé dans l'enveloppe spiralée (3), tandis que la chemise extérieure (4) est emmanchée sur cette dernière.These three part bodies have general cylindrical profiles, adapted so that the cursor (2) is embedded in the spiral casing (3), while the outer jacket (4) is fitted onto the latter.

De manière commune, le curseur (2) comprend deux ergots (5) agencés en opposition qui viennent collaborer chacun avec une embrasure hélicoïdale (6) de l'enveloppe spiralée (3), tandis qu'ils se prolongent chacun dans une lumière longitudinale (7) agencée dans la chemise extérieure (4), telle qu'explicité plus en détail dans la suite de la description.Commonly, the slider (2) comprises two lugs (5) arranged in opposition which each collaborate with a helical embrasure (6) of the spiral casing (3), while they each extend into a longitudinal slot ( 7) arranged in the outer jacket (4), as explained in more detail in the remainder of the description.

Un curseur (2) se présente à son extrémité supérieure, par un berceau (13), également appelé cupule, destiné à recevoir un produit cosmétique, qui est prolongé par une partie cylindrique allongée (14), de plus faible diamètre, sur laquelle sont agencés les ergots (5) sensiblement à son extrémité inférieure.A slider (2) is presented at its upper end, by a cradle (13), also called a cup, intended to receive a cosmetic product, which is extended by an elongated cylindrical part (14), of smaller diameter, on which the lugs (5) are arranged substantially at its lower end.

Le berceau (13) est par exemple équipé d'ailettes agencées radialement par rapport à la paroi verticale du berceau (13). Ces ailettes contribuent au maintien en position du raisin.The cradle (13) is for example equipped with fins arranged radially with respect to the vertical wall of the cradle (13). These fins help keep the grape in position.

Le diamètre extérieur du berceau (13) correspond sensiblement au diamètre intérieur de la chemise extérieure (4), tandis que le diamètre extérieur de la partie cylindrique allongée (14), correspond sensiblement au diamètre intérieur de l'enveloppe spiralée (3), tels qu'illustrés aux figures 3 et 4.The outer diameter of the cradle (13) substantially corresponds to the inner diameter of the outer jacket (4), while the outer diameter of the elongated cylindrical part (14) substantially corresponds to the inner diameter of the spiral casing (3), such as as illustrated in figures 3 and 4 .

On a compris que le diamètre extérieur de l'enveloppe spiralée (3) correspond au diamètre intérieur de la chemise extérieure (4) et qui est donc sensiblement égal au diamètre extérieur du berceau (13).It has been understood that the outer diameter of the spiral casing (3) corresponds to the inner diameter of the outer jacket (4) and which is therefore substantially equal to the outer diameter of the cradle (13).

Notons que les ergots (5) du curseur (2) sont portés par des pattes flexibles. Les ergots (5) sont ainsi flexibles au moins transversalement, à savoir qu'ils sont engagés dans les embrasures hélicoïdales (6) de l'enveloppe spiralée (3), tandis qu'ils sont rentrés en force dans les lumières longitudinales (7) de la chemise extérieure (4).Note that the lugs (5) of the slider (2) are carried by flexible tabs. The pins (5) are thus flexible at least transversely, namely that they are engaged in the helical embrasures (6) of the spiral casing (3), while they are forced into the longitudinal slots (7) of the outer jacket (4).

Précisons que ces ergots (5), tels qu'illustrés aux figures 5, 6, 12 et 13 se présentent par des saillies latérales, par rapport au corps de la partie cylindrique allongée (14). Les pattes flexibles sont maintenues à la paroi du curseur (2) par leurs parties hautes, tandis que des découpes latérales et une découpe inférieure bordent les pattes flexibles, apportant aux ergots (5) une flexibilité au moins transversale, à savoir une flexibilité au moins radiale.It should be noted that these pins (5), as illustrated in figures 5, 6 , 12 and 13 are presented by side projections, relative to the body of the elongated cylindrical part (14). The flexible tabs are held to the wall of the slider (2) by their upper parts, while side cutouts and a lower cutout border the flexible tabs, giving the tabs (5) at least transverse flexibility, namely at least flexibility. radial.

Ajoutons que l'enveloppe spiralée (3) comprend deux embrasures hélicoïdales (6) débouchant vers son extrémité supérieure, dans la paroi cylindrique de son corps de pièce (8).Let us add that the spiral casing (3) comprises two helical embrasures (6) opening towards its upper end, in the cylindrical wall of its part body (8).

Ainsi, les embrasures hélicoïdales (6) de l'enveloppe spiralée (3) apporte une certaine flexibilité longitudinale à cette dernière, ce qui, en fin de course du curseur (2), en fin de vie du produit cosmétique, engendre un effet ressort du curseur (2) par la flexibilité de l'enveloppe spiralée (3).Thus, the helical embrasures (6) of the spiral casing (3) provide a certain longitudinal flexibility to the latter, which, at the end of the stroke of the slider (2), at the end of the life of the cosmetic product, generates a spring effect of the cursor (2) by the flexibility of the spiral envelope (3).

Pour pallier à cet inconvénient, selon un mode d'exécution de l'invention, l'enveloppe spiralée (3) est équipée d'une rainure supérieure (17) avantageusement périphérique, plus précisément partiellement périphérique, à son extrémité supérieure, plus précisément aux extrémités supérieures des embrasures hélicoïdales (6), telle qu'illustrée à la figure 14.To overcome this drawback, according to one embodiment of the invention, the spiral casing (3) is equipped with an upper groove (17) advantageously peripheral, more precisely partially peripheral, at its upper end, more precisely at the upper ends of the helical embrasures (6), as shown in figure 14 .

Il est entendu par une rainure supérieure (17) partiellement périphérique, une rainure périphérique dans laquelle sont agencées les ouvertures supérieures débouchant des embrasures hélicoïdales (6).It is understood by an upper groove (17) partially peripheral, a peripheral groove in which are arranged the upper openings emerging from the helical embrasures (6).

En correspondance de cette rainure supérieure (17), une nervure supérieure (18) préférentiellement périphérique est agencée dans la chemise extérieure (4), de manière à ce qu'elle fasse saillie à l'intérieur du profilé de la chemise extérieure (4).In correspondence with this upper groove (17), an upper rib (18) preferably peripheral is arranged in the outer jacket (4), so that it protrudes inside the profile of the outer jacket (4) .

Selon le mode de réalisation illustré à la figure 15, la nervure supérieure (18) est périphérique, à savoir faisant saillie sur l'intégralité du périmètre intérieur du profilé de la chemise extérieure (4).According to the embodiment illustrated in figure 15 , the upper rib (18) is peripheral, namely protruding over the entire inner perimeter of the profile of the outer jacket (4).

Il est entendu que la nervure supérieure (18) est localisée au-dessus des lumières longitudinales (7), telle qu'illustrée à la figure 15.It is understood that the upper rib (18) is located above the longitudinal slots (7), as illustrated on figure 15 .

Précisons que l'assemblage de la nervure supérieure (18) et de la rainure supérieure (17) permet de solidariser en translation longitudinale l'enveloppe spiralée (3) à la chemise extérieure (4), supprimant l'effet ressort du curseur (2) en fin de course, lors de l'application du produit cosmétique en fin de vie.It should be noted that the assembly of the upper rib (18) and the upper groove (17) enables the spiral casing (3) to be joined in longitudinal translation to the outer jacket (4), eliminating the spring effect of the slider (2). ) at the end of the stroke, when applying the cosmetic product at the end of its life.

Notons que la partie inférieure du corps de pièce cylindrique (8) de l'enveloppe spiralée (3), en dessous des extrémités inférieures des embrasures hélicoïdales (6), comprend une rainure périphérique (11), qui vient engager une nervure périphérique intérieure (10) agencée dans la partie inférieure de la paroi intérieure de la chemise extérieure (4), telle qu'illustrée à la figure 2 et telle qu'explicité plus en détail dans la suite de la description.Note that the lower part of the body of the cylindrical part (8) of the spiral casing (3), below the lower ends of the helical embrasures (6), comprises a peripheral groove (11), which engages an internal peripheral rib ( 10) arranged in the lower part of the inner wall of the outer jacket (4), as illustrated in figure 2 and as explained in more detail in the remainder of the description.

La coopération de cette rainure périphérique (11) avec la nervure périphérique intérieure (10) de la chemise extérieure (4), permet non seulement de maintenir ces deux corps de pièce en position, mais également de participer à la rotation de ces deux pièces l'une par rapport à l'autre.The cooperation of this peripheral groove (11) with the inner peripheral rib (10) of the outer jacket (4) not only allows these two part bodies to be held in position, but also to participate in the rotation of these two parts. 'one in relation to the other.

Selon une caractéristique, la partie inférieure du corps de pièce cylindrique (8) de l'enveloppe spiralée (3), en dessous des extrémités inférieures des embrasures hélicoïdales (6), avantageusement également en dessous de la rainure périphérique (11), comprend au moins une lamelle flexible (12), avantageusement plusieurs lamelles flexibles (12), préférentiellement quatre lamelles flexibles (12), réparties de manière régulière le long de la circonférence de l'enveloppe spiralée (3).According to one feature, the lower part of the body of the cylindrical part (8) of the spiral casing (3), below the lower ends of the helical embrasures (6), advantageously also below the peripheral groove (11), comprises at the minus one flexible strip (12), advantageously several flexible strips (12), preferably four flexible strips (12), distributed evenly along the circumference of the spiral casing (3).

Selon le mode de réalisation illustré, la rainure périphérique (11) est plus précisément séquentiellement périphérique, à savoir qu'elle comprend des portions de rainures périphériques concentriques, dans lesquelles viennent s'intercaler les extrémités des lamelles flexibles (12).According to the illustrated embodiment, the peripheral groove (11) is more precisely sequentially peripheral, namely that it comprises portions of concentric peripheral grooves, in which the ends of the flexible strips (12) are inserted.

Une lamelle flexible (12) s'étend sensiblement vers l'extérieur au-delà du profil général de l'enveloppe spiralée (3) et se présente selon le mode de réalisation illustré par au moins une saillie latérale, maintenue au corps de pièce cylindrique (8) par son extrémité inférieure, tandis qu'elle se détache en partie du corps de pièce cylindrique (8) par des découpes latérales et une découpe supérieure.A flexible strip (12) extends substantially outwardly beyond the general profile of the spiral casing (3) and is presented according to the embodiment illustrated by at least one lateral projection, held on the body of the cylindrical part. (8) by its lower end, while it is partially detached from the cylindrical part body (8) by side cutouts and an upper cutout.

Selon la caractéristique précédente, lors de l'emmanchement de la chemise extérieure (4) sur l'enveloppe spiralée (3), au moins une lamelle flexible (12) est au contact de la paroi intérieure de la chemise extérieure (4), et vient se compresser légèrement vers l'intérieur.According to the preceding characteristic, when the outer sleeve (4) is fitted onto the spiral casing (3), at least one flexible strip (12) is in contact with the inner wall of the outer sleeve (4), and compress slightly inward.

Précisons que ces lamelles flexibles (12), absorbent le jeu radial entre la chemise extérieure (4) et l'enveloppe spiralée (3), contrôlent le couple et ralentissent ainsi la rotation de l'ensemble formée par l'enveloppe spiralée (3) et la chemise extérieure (4), apportant un confort d'utilisation.Note that these flexible strips (12) absorb the radial play between the outer jacket (4) and the spiral casing (3), control the torque and thus slow down the rotation of the assembly formed by the spiral casing (3) and the outer jacket (4), providing ease of use.

Selon le mode de réalisation illustré, le corps de pièce cylindrique (8) de l'enveloppe spiralée (3) est prolongé vers son extrémité inférieure par une couronne (9).According to the illustrated embodiment, the cylindrical part body (8) of the spiral casing (3) is extended towards its lower end by a crown (9).

Ajoutons que selon le mode de réalisation illustré, l'enveloppe spiralée (3) et la couronne (9) font partie intégrante d'un même corps de pièce.Let us add that according to the illustrated embodiment, the spiral casing (3) and the crown (9) form an integral part of the same part body.

Notons que la partie supérieure de la couronne (9) comprend une butée périphérique (15), localisée en dessous de la rainure périphérique (11). Cette butée périphérique (15) a le rôle majeur de limiter le débattement vers le bas, lors de l'emmanchement de la chemise extérieure (4) sur l'enveloppe spiralée (3), et lors de l'assemblage de la rainure périphérique (11) avec la nervure périphérique intérieure (10).Note that the upper part of the crown (9) comprises a peripheral stop (15), located below the peripheral groove (11). This peripheral stop (15) has the major role of limiting the downward movement, when fitting the outer sleeve (4) onto the spiral casing (3), and during assembly of the peripheral groove ( 11) with the inner peripheral rib (10).

Précisons que la butée périphérique (15) n'est pas en contact avec l'extrémité inférieure de la chemise extérieure (4), en position assemblée.Note that the peripheral stop (15) is not in contact with the lower end of the outer jacket (4), in the assembled position.

Selon une caractéristique complémentaire, la surface extérieure de la couronne (9) présente des cannelures (16) équidistantes et régulièrement réparties. La couronne (9) venant s'emboîter dans un conditionnement inférieur, à savoir une embase, telle qu'explicité précédemment, les cannelures (16) contribuent au maintien sous pression de la couronne (9) dans l'embase.According to an additional characteristic, the outer surface of the crown (9) has splines (16) equidistant and regularly distributed. The crown (9) being fitted into a lower packaging, namely a base, as explained previously, the splines (16) contribute to maintaining the crown (9) under pressure in the base.

Tel qu'explicité précédemment, la chemise extérieure (4) comprend deux lumières longitudinales (7) agencées en opposition, dans sa paroi cylindrique, dans lesquelles viennent s'emboîter les ergots (5) du curseur (2).As explained previously, the outer jacket (4) comprises two longitudinal slots (7) arranged in opposition, in its cylindrical wall, in which the lugs (5) of the slider (2) fit.

Lors du maintien par l'utilisateur de la chemise extérieure (4), l'enveloppe spiralée (3), permet d'entraîner le curseur (2) en translation axiale, lors de la rotation axiale de l'ensemble formé par la couronne (9) et l'enveloppe spiralée (3).When the user maintains the outer jacket (4), the spiral casing (3) makes it possible to drive the cursor (2) in axial translation, during the axial rotation of the assembly formed by the crown ( 9) and the spiral envelope (3).

Les lumières longitudinales (7) ont une longueur correspondant à la hauteur du corps de pièce cylindrique (8) de l'enveloppe spiralée (3), tandis que le corps de la partie cylindrique allongée (14) du curseur (2) a une longueur sensiblement égale à celle du corps de pièce cylindrique (8) de l'enveloppe spiralée (3).The longitudinal slots (7) have a length corresponding to the height of the cylindrical part body (8) of the spiral casing (3), while the body of the elongated cylindrical part (14) of the slider (2) has a length substantially equal to that of the body of the cylindrical part (8) of the spiral casing (3).

Précisons que les extrémités des lumières longitudinales (7) coïncident sensiblement avec celles des embrasures hélicoïdales (6).Note that the ends of the longitudinal slots (7) coincide substantially with those of the helical embrasures (6).

Ainsi de par la structure particulière du mécanisme tournant (1) selon l'invention, la hauteur du corps de pièce cylindrique (8) de l'enveloppe spiralée (3) est sensiblement égale, voire supérieure, à la moitié de celle de la chemise extérieure (4).Thus, by the particular structure of the rotating mechanism (1) according to the invention, the height of the body of the cylindrical part (8) of the spiral casing (3) is substantially equal to, or even greater than, half that of the liner. exterior (4).

Selon le mode de réalisation illustré à la figure 6, la structure particulière du curseur (2) permet un remplissage de ce dernier, par coulage d'un bâton de rouge à lèvre par la partie inférieure du curseur (2), qui comprend un orifice approprié.According to the embodiment illustrated in figure 6 , the particular structure of the slider (2) allows filling of the latter, by pouring a stick of lipstick through the lower part of the slider (2), which includes a suitable orifice.

Cette particularité permet de couler le bâton de rouge à lèvres préalablement à l'assemblage du conditionnement inférieur, à savoir de l'embase. Cette particularité à l'avantage, lors d'erreur de remplissage de ne pas jeter le conditionnement inférieur avec le mécanisme tournant (1).This feature makes it possible to pour the stick of lipstick prior to the assembly of the lower packaging, namely the base. This feature has the advantage, in the event of a filling error, of not throwing out the lower packaging with the rotating mechanism (1).

Selon une caractéristique complémentaire, le conditionnement inférieur, à savoir l'embase, ne comprend avantageusement pas d'orifice de remplissage, obturé par un opercule approprié, améliorant l'esthétique de l'étui cosmétique.According to an additional characteristic, the lower packaging, namely the base, advantageously does not include a filling orifice, closed by an appropriate cover, improving the aesthetics of the cosmetic case.

Selon le mode de réalisation illustré aux figures 12 et 13, la structure particulière du curseur (2) permet l'insertion d'un bâton de rouge à lèvres par piquage, à savoir un positionnement du raisin par l'extrémité supérieure du curseur, qui vient se loger dans un logement comprenant une paroi de fond qui comprend des orifices d'évacuation d'air.According to the embodiment illustrated in figures 12 and 13 , the particular structure of the slider (2) allows the insertion of a stick of lipstick by stitching, namely a positioning of the grape by the upper end of the slider, which is housed in a housing comprising a bottom wall which includes air exhaust ports.

Selon le mode de réalisation précédent, la paroi de fond du logement destiné à recevoir le raisin, est localisée dans la partie supérieure de la partie cylindrique allongée (14) du curseur (2).According to the previous embodiment, the bottom wall of the housing intended to receive the grapes, is located in the upper part of the elongated cylindrical part (14) of the slider (2).

Notons que selon le mode de réalisation illustré, les extrémités supérieures du curseur (2) et de la chemise extérieure (4) sont biseautées, mais il pourrait en être autrement, l'extrémité supérieure du curseur (2) est biseautée, voire les extrémités supérieures du curseur (2) et de la chemise extérieure (4), sont droites.Note that according to the illustrated embodiment, the upper ends of the slider (2) and of the outer jacket (4) are bevelled, but it could be otherwise, the upper end of the slider (2) is bevelled, or even the ends of the slider (2) and of the outer jacket (4) are straight.

En outre, la forme cylindrique sensiblement régulière de la chemise extérieure (4), à savoir ayant sensiblement un diamètre constant, permet d'arrondir l'extrémité supérieure de cette dernière par un procédé d'emboutissage, et d'obtenir ainsi une extrémité supérieure de la chemise extérieure (4) lisse au toucher, évitant toute présence de zone à vif, notamment dans le cas d'une extrémité biseautée.In addition, the substantially regular cylindrical shape of the outer jacket (4), namely having substantially a constant diameter, makes it possible to round the upper end of the latter by a stamping process, and thus to obtain an upper end. of the outer jacket (4) smooth to the touch, avoiding any presence of a raw area, in particular in the case of a bevelled end.
