Definitions

  • the invention relates to a case for a stick of products. pasty, in particular cosmetic or pharmaceutical pastes, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to a method of assembling a such a case.
  • the present invention aims to provide a case of type indicated above, which has a structure allowing faster and easier mounting, both manually than automatically.
  • the case according to the invention is characterized in that the guide grooves open in the opening for passage of the stick and extend in the open end wall to a depth in the direction of the width, which is greater than the width in this direction, of that of said opening so that the ribbon may be introduced into the assembled housing after the bucket has been attached to the ribbon.
  • the method of assembling the case according to the invention is characterized in that first of all the housing as a whole and then introduces the ribbon into the housing through the opening of passage of the stick and the grooves open in said opening.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of the case for stick of pasty products according to the invention, before the introduction of the carrier bucket displacement tape stick.
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view in the state assembled, the bucket occupying its withdrawn position.
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of the case according the invention after assembly, the bucket occupying its position of use where the stick is out.
  • Figure 4 is a top view of the case according to the Figure 1, the two shells making up the case being separated.
  • Figure 5 is a view in the direction of arrow V of Figure 4, the two shells being in the assembled state.
  • Figure 6 is a view in the direction of arrow VI of Figure 4.
  • Figure 7 is a sectional view along line VII-VII in Figure 6.
  • Figure 8 is a sectional view along line VIII-VIII in Figure 6.
  • Figure 9 is a side view of the ribbon shown in Figure 1.
  • the case according to the invention essentially comprises a housing 1 composed of two parts 2, 3, each in the form of a shell, and a ribbon 4 which in the state introduced into the housing 1 constitutes the means of displacement of a bucket 5 suitable for receiving a stick of a pasty product cosmetic, pharmaceutical or the like.
  • This stick is indicated in 6.
  • the two parts 2 and 3 in the form of shells of the case 1 have a structure which is symmetrical with respect to in the middle plane P.
  • the ribbon 4 is made of a material flexible in its axial direction, perpendicularly to its width.
  • each shell 2 and 3 generally comprises a bottom wall 8, a side wall 9 and an upper wall 10.
  • the three walls extend substantially perpendicularly to each other and form a profile in the form of a U to delimit, when assembled to the other shell the internal space 11 in which the bucket 5 carrying the stick 6 is axially movable.
  • An extremity bearing the reference 13 of each shell is closed, while the other end indicated at 14 is pierced and has an opening in the shape of a half-ellipse 15. Consequently, in the assembled state, the case is closed at one end and has a shaped opening 16 an ellipse allowing the stick to exit 6.
  • the cut 17 of the upper wall 10 is cut 17 of a predetermined width and open towards the plane opening P of U.
  • the cut has a shape substantially rectangular.
  • the cutouts 17 of the two shells form a window 18 of rectangular shape in the upper wall of the case, which extends in the longitudinal direction of this last over most of the length and has a width occupying substantially half of the width of a case shell.
  • each shell comprises, below the cutout 17, at a predetermined distance from the remaining part of the upper wall 10, indicated at 20, a wall 21 which extends from the side wall 9, parallel to the wall part 20 up to the opening plane P of shell.
  • the walls 20 and 21 delimit between them a groove 22 for guiding a longitudinal edge of the ribbon 4, as will be explained later.
  • each shell has two walls 24, 25 which are parallel to each other and to the wall 8.
  • the two walls 24 and 25 extend from the side wall 9, the wall lower 24 substantially to the middle of the wall 8, the wall 25 being shorter.
  • the two walls define between them a groove 26 which constitutes also a lateral edge guide groove corresponding tape 4.
  • the upper surface 27 of the wall 24, which is free, constitutes a surface of ribbon support.
  • the guide groove 26 opens towards the outside in the end 14 of the hull and is open to the opening hole 15. Referring in Figure 5, we see that the guide groove 26 is relatively close to the bottom wall 8, but extends into the end wall 14 to a depth in the direction of the width, which is greater than the width in this direction, that of the hole 15.
  • the wall upper 21 is extended by a curved wall 28 of the same width 21, which joins the narrower lower wall 25.
  • Another curved wall 29 substantially parallel to the wall 28 and the same height as this extends from the appropriate transverse edge from cutout 17 to the lower guide wall 24.
  • the walls 28 and 29 delimit between them a curved profile slot 30 which communicates at its ends respectively with the guide grooves 22 and 26. As can be seen, then obtains at the end 13 a groove of continuous guidance.
  • the opening hole 15 extends obliquely by relative to the bottom wall 8 by forming with it a angle less than 90 °, advantageously around 60 ° in the example shown.
  • Parallel to this wall 32 which constitutes the outer wall extends inside a parallel wall 33 in extension of the wall 21, up to the bottom wall 8.
  • the opening hole 15 extends also through this wall 33.
  • the walls 32 and 33 are distant from each other so as to form around the opening 15 a groove 35 whose width is chosen such that it can constitute a guide groove for the corresponding longitudinal edge of the ribbon 4.
  • This groove 35 communicates at one end with the guide groove upper 22 and extends at the other end to the bottom wall 8 obliquely crossing the groove of guide 26.
  • the two shells 2 and 3 are advantageously made by plastic molding, which explains the presence of certain ribs such as those indicated in 37 and 38 and some walls of reinforcement such as the wall 39 arranged at the level of the curved inner wall 28 and delimiting at end level 13 internal space 11.
  • the end 13 is configured to make a grommet suspension or support 40.
  • the shell 3 has projecting elements 41 engaging in recessed portions 42 provided for in level of the opening plane P of the other shell 2.
  • Zone 45 which constitutes the means of closing off the opening 16 of the case, as shown in FIG. 2, has roughness elements on its underside 47 on an elliptical area, while zone 46 door on the underside of projecting elements 48 which extend perpendicular to the direction length of the ribbon and thus provide application of a pushing force without risk of slip of the fingers of a user of the case.
  • FIG. 9 shows that the profile of the projections 48 is adapted to the user's fingers, the projections being higher at the ends of the grip 46 than at its center.
  • the flexibility of the ribbon allows it follow the curves of the guideway.
  • the opening 16 of the housing is slightly larger than the dimensions of bucket 5 for allow the passage of it when inserting the ribbon.
  • the length of the ribbon 4 is chosen so that in each of the positions, the gripping area 46 is at the level from one end of the window 18 of the case. In the extreme position of withdrawal of the bucket, zone 45 is found in the front end ( Figure 2) while in the position of use, zone 45 is at the level of the other end.
  • the front zone 45 of the ribbon close the opening 16, the front edge of the ribbon down into the front guide groove 35 (figure 6), to the bottom wall 8, even crossing the grooves 26. It should also be noted that the width of the grip area 45 is slightly less than the window width 18.
  • the movement control means of the ribbon could be made as an element attached to the ribbon after its insertion in the housing, in any suitable known manner.
  • the width of the longitudinal window could to be weaker.
