Description
Tube de rouge à lèvres pouvant être manipulé d'une seule main. Lipstick tube that can be manipulated with one hand.
L'invention concerne le domaine de la cosmétique. Plus précisément, l'invention concerne les tubes ou bâtons de rouge à lèvres du type de ceux comprenant un raisin susceptible d'être extrait d'un tube pour être utilisé, puis rentré dans le tube pour y être protégé.The invention relates to the field of cosmetics. More specifically, the invention relates to tubes or sticks of lipstick of the type of those comprising a grape capable of being extracted from a tube to be used, then returned to the tube to be protected there.
On notera que l'invention concerne un tube de rouge à lèvres, mais peut également être appliquée à d'autres produits cosmétiques tel que par exemple les produits pour le soin des lèvres et du visage tels que les sticks labiaux et les sticks solaires. Le rouge à lèvres, tel qu'il se conçoit couramment, est constitué de deux pièces distinctes qui sont :It will be noted that the invention relates to a tube of lipstick, but can also be applied to other cosmetic products such as for example products for the care of the lips and the face such as lip sticks and sun sticks. Lipstick, as it is commonly understood, consists of two separate parts which are:
- une base comprenant le pied, le mécanisme et le raisin ;- a base including the base, the mechanism and the grape;
- un capot composé de une ou deux pièces.- a cover made up of one or two pieces.
Ce mécanisme est constitué du support du raisin conçu pour coopérer avec des moyens ménagés sur la paroi interne d'une enveloppe sensiblement cylindrique pour permettre de translater le raisin le long de l'enveloppe lors d'un mouvement de rotation de cette dernière.This mechanism consists of the support of the grape designed to cooperate with means provided on the internal wall of a substantially cylindrical envelope to allow the grape to be translated along the envelope during a rotational movement of the latter.
Le plus souvent, le support porte un ergot, ou similaire, susceptible de coulisser dans une rainure hélicoïdale ménagée sur la paroi interne de l'enveloppe, le mouvement de translation du raisin étant obtenu par une rotation de l'enveloppe tandis que le support du raisin est bloqué en rotation, ou inversement.Most often, the support carries a lug, or the like, capable of sliding in a helical groove formed on the internal wall of the envelope, the translational movement of the grape being obtained by a rotation of the envelope while the support of the grapes are blocked in rotation, or vice versa.
L'utilisation normale d'un rouge à lèvres consiste en un premier temps à retirer le capot, puis à actionner le mécanisme pour faire sortir le raisin de la longueur souhaitée permettant ainsi à l'utilisateur de se maquiller les lèvres.The normal use of a lipstick consists first of all in removing the cover, then in actuating the mechanism to bring out the grape of the desired length thus allowing the user to make up the lips.
L'opération terminée, il ne reste plus qu'à repositionner le capot sur le mécanisme.Once the operation is complete, all that remains is to reposition the cover on the mechanism.
Toute cette manipulation aura nécessité que l'utilisateur utilise en permanence ses deux mains tant pour ouvrir, pour fermer que pour faire monter et descendre le mécanisme. Les solutions classiques présentent plusieurs inconvénients.All this manipulation will have required that the user constantly uses both hands to open, to close and to raise and lower the mechanism. Conventional solutions have several drawbacks.
Tout d'abord, le capot étant complètement séparable du reste du tube, il n'est pas exclu que celui-ci soit égaré malencontreusement. Le raisin de rouge à lèvres n'est donc plus protégé correctement. Il peut en outre tâcher des objets avec lesquels il serait en contact, par exemple dans un sac à main.First of all, the cover being completely separable from the rest of the tube, it cannot be ruled out that the latter is inadvertently lost. The lipstick grape is therefore no longer properly protected. He can also touch objects with which he is in contact, for example in a handbag.
Par ailleurs, la manipulation à deux mains des tubes de rouge à lèvres de l'art antérieur peut s'avérer inconfortable dans de nombreuses circonstances. En effet, si une personne a déjà une main occupée, il devient difficile d'utiliser le tube. On sait en outre que l'opération de maquillage, même succincte, est réalisée par certaines personnes conduisant un véhicule automobile. Il apparaît évident que l'utilisation des tubes de rouge à lèvres classiques nécessitant l'usage des deux mains peut entraîner momentanément une perte de maîtrise du véhicule, et occasionner des situations périlleuses tant pour la personne elle-même que pour les véhicules environnants.Furthermore, two-handed handling of the prior art lipstick tubes can be uncomfortable in many circumstances. Indeed, if a person already has a busy hand, it becomes difficult to use the tube. We also know that the make-up operation, even a brief one, is carried out by certain people driving a motor vehicle. It is obvious that the use of conventional lipstick tubes requiring the use of both hands can temporarily cause loss of control of the vehicle, and cause dangerous situations both for the person himself and for the surrounding vehicles.
Une solution a été décrite dans la demande de brevet EP - 0 815 767 qui présente un tube de rouge à lèvres intégrant un obturateur dont la position est indexée au mouvement du raisin. Cet obturateur est placé à l'intérieur d'un étui qui intègre également le reste du mécanisme. Cette solution procure donc l'avantage de supprimer les inconvénients liés au fait que le capot est totalement séparable du reste du tube selon l'art antérieur.A solution has been described in patent application EP-0 815 767 which has a tube of lipstick incorporating a shutter whose position is indexed to the movement of the grapes. This shutter is placed inside a case which also integrates the rest of the mechanism. This solution therefore provides the advantage of eliminating the drawbacks linked to the fact that the cover is completely separable from the rest of the tube according to the prior art.
Toutefois, un tel tube de rouge à lèvres nécessite l'usage des deux mains pour être utilisé.However, such a lipstick tube requires the use of both hands to be used.
On notera que certaines personnes acquièrent avec le temps une certaine dextérité leur permettant de manipuler les tubes de rouge à lèvres d'une seule main, en faisant pivoter la partie avant avec les doigts tandis que la partie arrière est maintenue fixe au creux de la paume. Quoiqu'il en soit, l'utilisateur considère le plus souvent que l'usage des deux mains s'impose avec les tubes de rouge à lèvres traditionnels. L'invention a pour objectif de pallier les inconvénients de l'art antérieur. Plus précisément, l'invention a pour objectif de proposer un tube de rouge à lèvres dont la conception fait clairement apparaître à l'utilisateur qu'il peut manipuler un tel tube d'une seule main.Note that some people acquire over time a certain dexterity allowing them to manipulate the lipstick tubes with one hand, by pivoting the front part with the fingers while the rear part is held fixed in the palm . Anyway, the user most often considers that the use of both hands is essential with the tubes of traditional lipstick. The invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art. More specifically, the invention aims to provide a lipstick tube whose design clearly shows the user that he can handle such a tube with one hand.
L'invention a aussi pour objectif de fournir un tel tube de rouge à lèvres intégrant des moyens de protection du raisin qui soit indissociable du reste du tube.The invention also aims to provide such a lipstick tube incorporating grape protection means which is inseparable from the rest of the tube.
L'invention a également pour objectif de fournir un tel tube de rouge à lèvres qui soit fiable et sûr lors de son utilisation, en particulier en évitant toute détérioration du raisin lors de ses mouvements de sortie du tube ou de rentrée dans le tube.The invention also aims to provide such a lipstick tube which is reliable and safe during its use, in particular by avoiding any deterioration of the grape during its movements out of the tube or re-entry into the tube.
Ces objectifs ainsi que d'autres qui apparaîtront par la suite, sont atteints à l'aide d'un tube de rouge à lèvres, du type comprenant un raisin porté par un support susceptible de coopérer avec des moyens ménagés sur la paroi interne d'une enveloppe sensiblement cylindrique de façon à translater ledit raisin le long de ladite enveloppe lors d'un mouvement de rotation de cette dernière tandis que ledit support est bloqué en rotation par rapport à ladite enveloppe, ladite enveloppe étant intégré à un étui présentant un orifice à une de ses extrémités au travers duquel ledit raisin peut être extrait ou rétracté. Selon l'invention, ladite enveloppe est montée à rotation dans ledit étui, et en ce que ledit étui présente au moins une fenêtre au travers de laquelle ladite enveloppe peut être mue en rotation.These objectives, as well as others which will appear subsequently, are achieved using a lipstick tube, of the type comprising a grape carried by a support capable of cooperating with means provided on the internal wall of a substantially cylindrical envelope so as to translate said grape along said envelope during a rotational movement of the latter while said support is locked in rotation relative to said envelope, said envelope being integrated into a case having an orifice one of its ends through which said grape can be extracted or retracted. According to the invention, said envelope is rotatably mounted in said case, and in that said case has at least one window through which said envelope can be rotated.
On obtient de cette façon un tube de rouge à lèvres particulièrement simple et pratique d'utilisation, ne nécessitant qu'une seule main pour sortir puis rentrer le raisin dans le tube. II suffit en effet d'agir sur l'enveloppe au travers de la fenêtre de l'étui comme sur une molette pour imposer au raisin un mouvement de sortie ou de rentrée.In this way, a tube of lipstick is particularly simple and practical to use, requiring only one hand to take out and then bring the grapes into the tube. It suffices in fact to act on the envelope through the window of the case as on a wheel to impose on the grape an outward movement or reentry.
De plus, cette solution permet une pluralité de designs différents, ce qui est particulièrement recherché dans le domaine des accessoires de maquillage. Selon une solution préférée, le dispositif comprend un rideau mobile à l'intérieur de l'étui entre une position d'ouverture dudit orifice selon laquelle il présente un profil sensiblement plan et une position de fermeture dudit orifice selon laquelle il présente un profil courbé, ledit rideau étant couplé à des moyens susceptibles de coopérer avec ladite enveloppe pour déplacer ledit rideau lors d'une rotation de ladite enveloppe.In addition, this solution allows a plurality of different designs, which is particularly sought after in the field of makeup accessories. According to a preferred solution, the device comprises a movable curtain inside the case between an open position of said orifice according to which it has a substantially planar profile and a closed position of said orifice according to which it has a curved profile, said curtain being coupled to means capable of cooperating with said envelope to move said curtain during rotation of said envelope.
Le raisin est ainsi protégé par des moyens indissociables du reste du tube.The grapes are thus protected by means inseparable from the rest of the tube.
Un tel mécanisme s'avère dont tout à fait fiable et évite toute détérioration inopinée du raisin ou au maniement du dispositif. Selon un premier mode de réalisation, ledit rideau est monté sur un anneau entourant au moins partiellement ladite enveloppe, ledit anneau portant un ergot susceptible de circuler dans une gorge ménagée dans ladite enveloppe et conçue pour provoquer le déplacement du rideau entre ladite position d'ouverture et ladite position de fermeture lors de la rotation de ladite enveloppe. Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation préféré, ledit rideau est monté sur un anneau dont la paroi interne est filetée, ledit anneau étant monté sur une portion filetée de longueur prédéterminée ménagée sur ladite enveloppe, de telle sorte que l'anneau soit mobile en translation le long de ladite portion filetée lors de la rotation de ladite enveloppe. On notera que l'anneau portant le rideau, peut être placé sur l'enveloppe indifféremment sur la partie arrière ou la partie avant, ce qui permet de faire varier le cas échéant la position des fenêtres de l'étui.Such a mechanism turns out to be entirely reliable and prevents any unexpected deterioration of the grape or when the device is used. According to a first embodiment, said curtain is mounted on a ring at least partially surrounding said envelope, said ring carrying a lug capable of circulating in a groove formed in said envelope and designed to cause the displacement of the curtain between said open position and said closed position during the rotation of said envelope. According to a second preferred embodiment, said curtain is mounted on a ring whose internal wall is threaded, said ring being mounted on a threaded portion of predetermined length formed on said casing, so that the ring is movable in translation the along said threaded portion during the rotation of said envelope. It will be noted that the ring carrying the curtain can be placed on the envelope either on the rear part or the front part, which makes it possible to vary the position of the windows of the case if necessary.
Selon une solution avantageuse de l'un ou l'autre mode de réalisation, le dispositif comprend des moyens de synchronisation de la translation dudit rideau par rapport à la translation dudit raisin.According to an advantageous solution of one or the other embodiment, the device comprises means for synchronizing the translation of said curtain with respect to the translation of said grape.
Comme on le verra par la suite, le mécanisme assurant la mobilité du rideau est conçu pour protéger systématiquement le raisin quand celui-ci est rentré dans l'enveloppe et pour s'éclipser quand le raisin est dans une position partiellement ou totalement sortie de l'enveloppe. Dans ce cas, lesdits moyens de synchronisation sont avantageusement réalisés à l'aide dudit support qui comprend deux parties, l'une de ces parties, dite semi-mobile s'étendant dans le prolongement de ladite enveloppe et coaxialement à cette dernière. Préférentiellement, ladite partie semi-mobile et ladite enveloppe sont susceptibles d'être couplées de façon amovible à l'aide de moyens encliquetables. De tels moyens encliquetables permettent de signaler à l'utilisateur par une petite sonorité au moment où le raisin débute son mouvement de sortie ou de celui où le raisin est complètement rentré dans l'enveloppe. Avantageusement, ladite partie semi-mobile présente sur une portion de sa périphérie au moins une gorge radiale dans laquelle est susceptible de circuler une butée solidaire dudit étui.As will be seen below, the mechanism ensuring the mobility of the curtain is designed to systematically protect the grapes when the latter has returned to the envelope and to slip away when the grapes are in a position partially or completely removed from the 'envelope. In this case, said synchronization means are advantageously produced using said support which comprises two parts, one of these parts, called semi-mobile, extending in the extension of said envelope and coaxially with the latter. Preferably, said semi-mobile part and said envelope are capable of being removably coupled using snap-on means. Such snap-in means make it possible to signal the user by a small sound when the grape begins its outward movement or when the grape is completely returned to the envelope. Advantageously, said semi-mobile part has on a portion of its periphery at least one radial groove in which is able to circulate a stop integral with said case.
On créé de cette façon un retard entre la sortie du raisin et le mouvement du rideau vers une position d'ouverture de l'orifice de l'étui. On pourrait toutefois selon un autre mode de réalisation envisageable concevoir les moyens assurant la mobilité du rideau et ceux assurant la mobilité du raisin de façon à obtenir un décalage entre la position ouverte du rideau et la sortie du raisin à travers l'orifice de l'étui, par exemple avec des pas hélicoïdaux appropriés.This creates a delay between the exit of the grape and the movement of the curtain towards an open position of the orifice of the case. One could however, according to another possible embodiment, design the means ensuring the mobility of the curtain and those ensuring the mobility of the grape so as to obtain a offset between the open position of the curtain and the exit of the grape through the orifice of the case, for example with suitable helical steps.
La partie semi-mobile pourrait alors être toujours bloquée en rotation à l'intérieur de l'étui.The semi-mobile part could then still be locked in rotation inside the case.
Selon une solution préférée, ladite gorge radiale se prolonge de façon oblique par rapport à l'axe de ladite partie semi-mobile, de telle sorte qu'une rotation prédéterminée de ladite partie semi-mobile impose à celle-ci un mouvement de translation à l'intérieur dudit étui solidairement avec ladite enveloppe, ladite enveloppe étant mobile entre une position proche et une position écartée dudit orifice.According to a preferred solution, said radial groove is extended obliquely with respect to the axis of said semi-mobile part, so that a predetermined rotation of said semi-mobile part imposes a translational movement thereon. the interior of said case integrally with said envelope, said envelope being movable between a close position and a position spaced from said orifice.
Ce mouvement de l'enveloppe et les moyens pour son obtention peuvent toutefois ne pas être mis en œuvre à des fins de simplification.This movement of the envelope and the means for obtaining it may however not be implemented for the sake of simplification.
Selon une solution avantageuse, lesdits moyens encliquetables sont conçus pour : se désassembler à l'issue de ladite rotation prédéterminée lorsque celle-ci est préalable à un mouvement de sortie dudit raisin ; s'assembler à l'issue de la rentrée complète dudit raisin dans ladite enveloppe. D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description suivante de deux modes de réalisation préférentiels de l'invention, donnés à titre d'exemples illustratifs et non limitatifs, et des dessins parmi lesquels :According to an advantageous solution, said snap-on means are designed to: disassemble at the end of said predetermined rotation when this is prior to an exit movement of said grape; assemble at the end of the full re-entry of said grape into said envelope. Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear more clearly on reading the following description of two preferred embodiments of the invention, given by way of illustrative and nonlimiting examples, and of the drawings among which:

The casing 2 and the semi-mobile part 6 are rotatably mounted in the case 3, the cradles 33 forming means for guiding the casing 2 and the semi-mobile part 6 in rotation. inside the case 3.
On notera que l'enveloppe 2 et la partie semi-mobile 6 constituent, en dehors des modifications nécessaires à la mise en œuvre de l'invention qui vont être décrites, un tube de rouge à lèvres tout à fait classique selon lequel on sort le raisin en maintenant fixe la partie semi-mobile 6 tout en tournant l'enveloppe 2, ou inversement.It will be noted that the envelope 2 and the semi-mobile part 6 constitute, apart from the modifications necessary for the implementation of the invention which will be described, a completely conventional lipstick tube according to which the grapes while maintaining fixed the semi-mobile part 6 while turning the envelope 2, or vice versa.
Le rideau 5 est mobile à l'intérieur de l'étui 3 entre une position d'ouverture selon laquelle il présente un profil sensiblement plan (tel qu'illustré par les figures 1 et 9) et une position de fermeture selon laquelle il présente un profil courbé (tel qu'illustré par les figures 4 et 5).The curtain 5 is movable inside the case 3 between an open position according to which it has a substantially planar profile (as illustrated by Figures 1 and 9) and a closed position in which it has a curved profile (as illustrated in Figures 4 and 5).
Ce rideau peut être réalisé en tout matériau plastique semi-rigide.This curtain can be made of any semi-rigid plastic material.
Tel que cela apparaît clairement sur la figure 1, le rideau 5 est monté sur un anneau 51.As clearly shown in FIG. 1, the curtain 5 is mounted on a ring 51.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation, cet anneau 51 porte sur sa paroi interne un ergot 511 susceptible de circuler dans une gorge 21 ménagée dans l'enveloppe 2. En référence à la figure 3, la rainure 21 présente un pas sensiblement hélicoïdal qui permet de déplacer le rideau 5 (par l'intermédiaire de l'ergot 511 et de l'anneau 51) lors de la rotation de l'enveloppe 2.According to a first embodiment, this ring 51 carries on its internal wall a lug 511 capable of circulating in a groove 21 formed in the envelope 2. With reference to FIG. 3, the groove 21 has a substantially helical pitch which makes it possible to move the curtain 5 (via the lug 511 and the ring 51) during the rotation of the casing 2.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation illustré par les figures 6a, 6b, 6c et 7, l'anneau 52, sur lequel est monté le rideau 5, présente un filetage 521. Cet anneauAccording to another embodiment illustrated by FIGS. 6a, 6b, 6c and 7, the ring 52, on which the curtain 5 is mounted, has a thread 521. This ring
52 est destiné à être monté sur une portion filetée 22 de l'enveloppe 2, de telle sorte que le rideau 5 (par l'intermédiaire de l'anneau 52) soit mobile en translation le long de la portion filetée 22 lors de la rotation de l'enveloppe 2.52 is intended to be mounted on a threaded portion 22 of the casing 2, so that the curtain 5 (via the ring 52) is movable in translation along the threaded portion 22 during rotation of envelope 2.
Dans l'un ou l'autre des deux modes de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits, le dispositif comprend avantageusement des moyens de synchronisation par lesquels on s'assure que le raisin est translaté au travers de l'orifice de l'étui à un moment où le rideau 5 est en position d'ouverture de l'orifice. Pour cela, la partie semi-mobile présente une gorge radiale 61 dans laquelle est susceptible de circuler une butée 32 solidaire de l'étui.In either of the two embodiments which have just been described, the device advantageously comprises synchronization means by which it is ensured that the grapes are translated through the orifice of the case to a time when the curtain 5 is in the opening position of the orifice. For this, the semi-mobile part has a radial groove 61 in which is likely to circulate a stop 32 integral with the case.
De plus, des mouvements d'avancée et de recul de l'ensemble constitué par l'enveloppe 2 et la partie semi-mobile 6 à l'intérieur de l'étui 3 sont obtenus à l'aide de la gorge radiale 61 qui présente un prolongement 611 (tel qu'il apparaît clairement sur la figure 3) par rapport à l'axe de la partie semi-mobile.In addition, forward and backward movements of the assembly constituted by the casing 2 and the semi-mobile part 6 inside the case 3 are obtained using the radial groove 61 which has an extension 611 (as it clearly appears in FIG. 3) relative to the axis of the semi-mobile part.
Tel qu'illustré par la figure, un embout 63 aluminium ou chromé est monté à l'extrémité de l'enveloppe 2. Cet embout améliore l'esthétique du dispositif, en particulier lorsque l'enveloppe 2 se présente au travers de l'orifice de l'étui 3. On notera en outre que l'enveloppe 2 et la partie semi-mobile 6 sont susceptibles d'être couplées par des moyens encliquetables 22, 62 (figure 11).As illustrated in the figure, an aluminum or chrome-plated nozzle 63 is mounted at the end of the envelope 2. This nozzle improves the aesthetics of the device, in particular when the envelope 2 is presented through the orifice from the case 3. It will also be noted that the casing 2 and the semi-mobile part 6 are capable of being coupled by snap-on means 22, 62 (FIG. 11).
Le fonctionnement du dispositif selon l'invention et la décomposition des mouvements des différents éléments qui le composent vont maintenant être explicités.The operation of the device according to the invention and the breakdown of the movements of the various elements which compose it will now be explained.
Quand le consommateur commence à faire tourner l'enveloppe 6 au travers de la fenêtre 31, le rideau 5 (qui, en position fermée, obstrue le passage du rouge à lèvres) est translaté vers l'arrière (vers la droite sur la figure 4) permettant de libérer l'ouverture de l'étui 3 et donc le passage à venir du raisin. Lorsque la butée 32 circule dans la partie 611 de la rainure 61, l'ensemble constitué par l'enveloppe 2 et la partie semi-mobile 6 se déplace en translation, les deux parties étant cliquées entre elles. Le raisin, tournant en même temps que la partie semi-mobile arrière, n'a pas débuté son mouvement de translation dans l'enveloppe 2. Cette première manipulation se produit en une portion de cercle la plus courte possible, par exemple d'un quart de tour maximum.When the consumer begins to rotate the envelope 6 through the window 31, the curtain 5 (which, in the closed position, obstructs the passage of the lipstick) is translated backwards (to the right in FIG. 4 ) to free the opening of the case 3 and therefore the coming passage of the grapes. When the stop 32 circulates in the part 611 of the groove 61, the assembly constituted by the casing 2 and the semi-mobile part 6 moves in translation, the two parts being clicked together. The grape, turning at the same time as the rear semi-mobile part, has not started its translational movement in the envelope 2. This first manipulation occurs in the shortest possible portion of a circle, for example of a quarter turn maximum.
En continuant à tourner l'ensemble du mécanisme, il se produit deux effets.By continuing to rotate the entire mechanism, two effects are produced.
Le rideau 5 continue de reculer tandis qu'une petite partie de l'enveloppeThe curtain 5 continues to move back while a small part of the envelope
2 sort de l'étui. La partie semi-mobile 6, est alors bloquée en rotation, lorsque la butée 32 arrive à l'extrémité fermée de la portion 611 de la rainure 61, et se désolidarise (le déclippage produit alors une petite sonorité) de l'enveloppe 2, les moyens d'encliquetage 22 et 62 se désengageant l'un de l'autre.2 comes out of the case. The semi-mobile part 6 is then locked in rotation when the stop 32 arrives at the closed end of the portion 611 of the groove 61, and becomes detached (the unclipping then produces a small sound) from the casing 2, the latching means 22 and 62 disengaging from each other.
En continuant à tourner, le raisin sort du mécanisme (comme pour un rouge à lèvres normal) de la longueur souhaitée par l'utilisateur, la partie semi- mobile 6 étant toujours bloquée en rotation.By continuing to rotate, the grapes come out of the mechanism (as for a normal lipstick) of the length desired by the user, the semi-mobile part 6 being always locked in rotation.
Lors de la fermeture, c'est-à-dire quand l'utilisateur tourne en sens inverse l'enveloppe 2, le même processus se reproduit mais en sens inverse, le rouge à lèvres rentre dans le mécanisme, puis la partie sortie de l'enveloppe 2 rentre à son tour dans l'étui provoquant le reclippage de l'enveloppe 2 avec la partie semi- mobile 6, et enfin le rideau vient obstruer l'orifice (il est à noter que le rideau dans ses mouvements de va et vient est guidé par la ou les coques extérieures soit naturellement, soit par la présence d'un rail de guidage).When closing, that is to say when the user turns envelope 2 in the opposite direction, the same process is repeated but in the opposite direction, the lipstick enters the mechanism, then the output part of the envelope 2 in turn enters the case causing the envelope 2 to be reclipped with the semi-mobile part 6, and finally the curtain obstructs the orifice (it should be noted that the curtain in its back and forth movements is guided by the outer shell (s) either naturally, or by the presence of a guide rail).
On notera qu'à des fins de simplification du dispositif, les dispositions particulières à l'avancée et au recul de l'ensemble enveloppe/partie semi-mobile peuvent être retirées du tube et sont par conséquent tout à fait optionnelles. It will be noted that for the purpose of simplifying the device, the particular provisions for advancing and retreating of the envelope / semi-mobile part assembly can be removed from the tube and are therefore entirely optional.
