Descripción detallada de las realizaciones preferidas de la invención Detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention

[0019] La presente invención se describirá a continuación según dos realizaciones preferidas de la invención, sin la limitación del alcance de la misma, dado que son posibles muchas otras realizaciones con dicho alcance. [0019] The present invention will be described below according to two preferred embodiments of the invention, without limiting the scope thereof, since many other embodiments are possible with said scope.

[0020] Las Figuras 1 a 8 representan diferentes vistas de una primera realización preferida de la invención de un kit de higiene según la presente invención, que presenta una carcasa (1) y dos utensilios (21, 22), en particular, dos utensilios de higiene. En el caso de esta realización, se trata de un cepillo para el peinado (21) y un cepillo de dientes (22), proporcionados de manera que se puedan operar entre una posición cerrada, donde se pueden recoger dentro de la carcasa (1), y una posición abierta donde se pueden usar, y viceversa. [0020] Figures 1 to 8 represent different views of a first preferred embodiment of the invention of a hygiene kit according to the present invention, which has a housing (1) and two utensils (21, 22), in particular two hygiene utensils. In the case of this embodiment, it is a hair-styling brush (21) and a toothbrush (22), provided so that they can be operated between a closed position, where they can be collected inside the housing (1), and an open position where they can be used, and vice versa.

[0021] El kit de higiene comprende una carcasa (1) configurada con una forma general de tipo mango, soporte de sujeción o similares, y que comprende dos partes de carcasa (11, 12), cada una configurada en forma de semienvoltura y adaptadas para que puedan retenerse mecánicamente entre sí y, por lo tanto, proporcionar un espacio interior. [0021] The hygiene kit comprises a housing (1) configured with a general shape of a handle, holding bracket or the like, and comprising two housing parts (11, 12), each configured in the form of a half-shell and adapted so that they can be mechanically retained relative to each other and, therefore, provide an interior space.

[0022] La carcasa (1) puede presentar una forma general de tipo rectangular cuando se observa desde arriba o desde abajo, con una primera extensión longitudinal que es mayor que una segunda extensión transversal. La carcasa (1) puede presentar además una tercera extensión que se extiende generalmente de forma ortogonal con respecto al plano definido por la extensión primera y segunda, y con una dimensión que es similar o menor que la segunda extensión transversal. [0022] The housing (1) may have a general rectangular shape when viewed from above or below, with a first longitudinal extension that is greater than a second transverse extension. The housing (1) may also have a third extension that extends generally orthogonally to the plane defined by the first and second extensions, and with a dimension that is similar to or smaller than the second transverse extension.

[0023] Dicha retención mecánica de las dos partes de la carcasa (11, 12) puede estar configurada para que pueda llevarse a cabo manualmente, sin requerir el uso de una herramienta, permitiendo así el acceso para la sustitución de los utensilios (21, 22). [0023] Said mechanical retention of the two parts of the housing (11, 12) can be configured so that it can be carried out manually, without requiring the use of a tool, thus allowing access for the replacement of the utensils (21, 22).

[0024] Los utensilios primero y segundo (21, 22) comprenden una parte de soporte (211, 221) adaptada para que pueda ser retenida en una parte de carcasa (1) para que pueda ser girada entre las posiciones cerrada y abierta, y viceversa, y una parte operativa (212, 222) adaptada para proporcionar el uso requerido en cada caso. [0024] The first and second utensils (21, 22) comprise a support part (211, 221) adapted to be retained in a housing part (1) so that it can be rotated between the closed and open positions, and vice versa, and an operating part (212, 222) adapted to provide the use required in each case.

[0025] Según un aspecto inventivo, dichos utensilios primero y segundo (21,22) se proporcionan de modo que puedan girarse alrededor de los respectivos ejes de giro (X1, X2) y, por lo tanto, operarse entre la posición abierta donde pueden usarse y la posición cerrada donde pueden recogerse en el espacio interior a través de las aberturas (111, 112) de la carcasa configuradas en lados opuestos de dicha parte de carcasa (11, 12). [0025] According to an inventive aspect, said first and second utensils (21, 22) are provided so that they can be rotated around respective rotation axes (X1, X2) and thus operated between the open position where they can be used and the closed position where they can be collected in the interior space through the housing openings (111, 112) configured on opposite sides of said housing part (11, 12).

[0026] El kit de higiene en este caso consiste en dos partes de carcasa (11, 12) y dos utensilios (21, 22), que no requieren ninguna pieza o componente adicional. [0026] The hygiene kit in this case consists of two housing parts (11, 12) and two utensils (21, 22), which do not require any additional parts or components.

[0027] Se proporciona ventajosamente una disposición más simple de operar y más ergonómica del kit de higiene, que solamente requiere la manipulación de un movimiento de abertura del utensilio (21, 22) y sin requerir además un movimiento de abertura y cierre de una carcasa (1). [0027] A simpler to operate and more ergonomic arrangement of the hygiene kit is advantageously provided, which only requires the manipulation of an opening movement of the utensil (21, 22) and without also requiring an opening and closing movement of a housing (1).

[0028] Por otra parte, se proporciona una disposición del kit de higiene de reducida complejidad constructiva, y con recogida sustancial de las partes operativas (212, 222), protegiéndolas de la exposición al ambiente exterior cuando se recogen en el interior de la carcasa (1). [0028] Furthermore, a hygiene kit arrangement is provided with reduced construction complexity, and with substantial collection of the operating parts (212, 222), protecting them from exposure to the outside environment when they are collected inside the housing (1).

[0029] Dichas aberturas de carcasa (111, 112) pueden estar configuradas con una forma ajustada a la forma de las partes operativas (212, 222) de cada uno de los utensilios. [0029] Said housing openings (111, 112) may be configured with a shape adjusted to the shape of the operating parts (212, 222) of each of the utensils.

[0030] Las partes de carcasa (11, 12) pueden estar configuradas para que, en caso de estar en posición cerrada, la superficie exterior de los utensilios (21, 22) ocupe la zona delimitada por las aberturas de la carcasa (111, 112) y se extienda de forma generalmente continua con la superficie exterior de las partes de carcasa (11, 12). [0030] The housing parts (11, 12) may be configured so that, when in the closed position, the outer surface of the utensils (21, 22) occupies the area delimited by the housing openings (111, 112) and extends generally continuously with the outer surface of the housing parts (11, 12).

[0031] Dichas aberturas de carcasa (111, 112, 121, 122) pueden configurarse con al menos uno de: forma diferente y dimensión diferente. [0031] Said housing openings (111, 112, 121, 122) may be configured with at least one of: different shape and different dimension.

[0032] Como se puede observar en particular en las Figuras 3 a 8, las partes de carcasa (11, 12) presentan dos primeras conexiones de carcasa (13) proporcionadas en regiones de esquina diametralmente de manera mutua opuestas de las mismas, y adaptadas para que puedan proporcionar un ajuste presurizado recíproco. [0032] As can be seen in particular in Figures 3 to 8, the housing parts (11, 12) have two first housing connections (13) provided in diametrically mutually opposite corner regions thereof, and adapted so that they can provide a reciprocal pressurized fit.

[0033] En particular, las conexiones de carcasa (13) están, en este caso, adaptadas para que puedan proporcionar un ensamblaje de las partes de carcasa (11, 12) por medio de un movimiento generalmente lineal de acoplamiento de ajuste de las mismas. [0033] In particular, the housing connections (13) are, in this case, adapted so that they can provide an assembly of the housing parts (11, 12) by means of a generally linear movement of coupling adjustment thereof.

[0034] Como puede observarse en la Figura 5, la región de borde de las partes de soporte (211,221) de los utensilios primero y segundo (21, 22) opuesta a las partes operativas (212, 222), presenta una parte de retención (213, 223) respectiva que presenta una parte configurada de modo que se puede girar entre las posiciones cerrada y abierta, y que rodea al menos parcialmente una parte similar a un anillo que puede funcionar como parte hembra en una conexión a una conexión de carcasa (13; 131, 132) proporcionada en la parte de carcasa (1). [0034] As can be seen in Figure 5, the edge region of the support parts (211,221) of the first and second utensils (21, 22) opposite the operating parts (212, 222), presents a respective retention part (213, 223) having a part configured so that it can be rotated between the closed and open positions, and which surrounds at least partially a ring-like part that can function as a female part in a connection to a housing connection (13; 131, 132) provided in the housing part (1).

[0035] Las partes de carcasa primera y segunda (11, 12) presentan primeras conexiones de carcasa (13; 131, 132) que comprenden una parte de retención mecánica recíproca (131) y una parte de soporte de utensilio (132) que se extiende de manera tubular preferentemente alrededor de la parte de retención mecánica (131). [0035] The first and second housing parts (11, 12) have first housing connections (13; 131, 132) comprising a reciprocal mechanical retention part (131) and a utensil support part (132) extending tubularly preferably around the mechanical retention part (131).

[0036] Como puede observarse mejor en los detalles de la Figura 6, la parte de retención mecánica (131) está configurada con una forma de gancho y se proporciona en una pieza que se extiende en la dirección hacia la otra parte de carcasa (11, 12) y está dispuesta en una posición recíprocamente simétrica en términos de ajuste con relación a un eje de acoplamiento central de referencia, de modo que las partes de retención mecánica (131) directamente opuestas de las partes de carcasa (11, 12) pueden acoplarse mecánicamente de manera recíproca bajo presión. [0036] As can be best seen in the details of Figure 6, the mechanical retention part (131) is configured with a hook shape and is provided in a piece extending in the direction toward the other housing part (11, 12) and is arranged in a reciprocally symmetrical position in terms of adjustment relative to a reference central coupling axis, so that the directly opposite mechanical retention parts (131) of the housing parts (11, 12) can be mechanically coupled reciprocally under pressure.

[0037] La parte de soporte (132) está configurada con una forma generalmente tubular y una dimensión complementaria, de modo que cuando la carcasa (1) está en la posición cerrada y, por lo tanto, de partes de carcasa (11, 12) mutuamente acopladas, las partes de soporte (132) proporcionan una superficie exterior circular dispuesta de manera centrada con relación a un eje de giro (X1, X2) y de modo que puede soportar una conexión de tipo de giro móvil de una parte de conexión (213, 223) de los utensilios primero y segundo (21, 22). [0037] The support part (132) is configured with a generally tubular shape and a complementary dimension, so that when the housing (1) is in the closed position and, therefore, of mutually coupled housing parts (11, 12), the support parts (132) provide a circular outer surface arranged centrally relative to an axis of rotation (X1, X2) and so that it can support a movable rotation type connection of a connection part (213, 223) of the first and second utensils (21, 22).

[0038] Las conexiones de carcasa (13; 131, 132) en este caso presentan una construcción y dimensión similares en ambas partes de carcasa (11, 12), que solamente difieren en la posición relativa de las partes componentes con respecto a un eje central de acoplamiento de referencia. [0038] The housing connections (13; 131, 132) in this case have a similar construction and dimension in both housing parts (11, 12), which only differ in the relative position of the component parts with respect to a reference coupling central axis.

[0039] Por otra parte, como se puede observar mejor en la Figura 4, las partes de soporte (132) presentan una primera región (132a) de forma generalmente tubular, con una superficie exterior circular en una extensión que corresponde a la amplitud del movimiento giratorio, por ejemplo, de aproximadamente 180°, y delimitada a ambos lados por segundas regiones (132b) adaptadas para que puedan acoplarse a los medios de retención proporcionados dentro de las partes de conexión de soporte (213, 223) de los utensilios (21, 22). En el caso de la realización representada, dichas segundas regiones (132b) están configuradas en forma de cavidades donde pueden acoplarse nodos duros (213a, 213b) proporcionados en posiciones correspondientes de límite del movimiento en la superficie interior de las partes de conexión de soporte (213, 223) de los utensilios primero y segundo (21, 22). [0039] Furthermore, as can be best seen in Figure 4, the support parts (132) have a first region (132a) of generally tubular shape, with a circular outer surface in an extension corresponding to the amplitude of the rotary movement, for example, of approximately 180°, and delimited on both sides by second regions (132b) adapted to be able to engage the retention means provided within the support connection parts (213, 223) of the utensils (21, 22). In the case of the embodiment shown, said second regions (132b) are configured in the form of cavities where hard nodes (213a, 213b) provided in corresponding movement limit positions on the inner surface of the support connection parts (213, 223) of the first and second utensils (21, 22) can be engaged.

[0040] Como se puede observar mejor en los detalles I, II y III de la Figura 6, las partes de conexión (213, 223) presentan nodos duros (213a, 213b) dispuestos en el lado opuesto de la superficie interior, adaptados para que puedan acoplarse mediante un ajuste en la región de las partes de conexión (132). [0040] As can be best seen in details I, II and III of Figure 6, the connecting parts (213, 223) have hard nodes (213a, 213b) arranged on the opposite side of the inner surface, adapted so that they can be coupled by means of a fit in the region of the connecting parts (132).

[0041] A continuación, se proporciona ventajosamente una retención mecánica de los utensilios (21, 22) en las respectivas posiciones abierta y cerrada, así como una percepción táctil por parte del usuario de que los utensilios (21, 22) están en estas posiciones. [0041] Advantageously, a mechanical retention of the utensils (21, 22) in the respective open and closed positions is then provided, as well as a tactile perception by the user that the utensils (21, 22) are in these positions.

[0042] Por otra parte, las partes de carcasa (11, 12) presentan partes respectivas de una pared divisora (14) que se extiende longitudinalmente de modo que divide los espacios interiores de recogida (A, B) para los utensilios de higiene (21, 22), separándolos así en el interior de la carcasa (1). Dichas partes de la pared divisora (14) pueden presentar medios de acoplamiento, por ejemplo, en forma de ranura (141) y muesca (142) a lo largo de la región superior respectiva, proporcionando con ello un refuerzo adicional de la conexión de retención de las partes de carcasa (11, 12) a lo largo de la extensión longitudinal de las mismas. [0042] Furthermore, the housing parts (11, 12) have respective parts of a dividing wall (14) extending longitudinally so as to divide the internal collection spaces (A, B) for the hygiene utensils (21, 22), thus separating them within the housing (1). Said dividing wall parts (14) may have coupling means, for example, in the form of a groove (141) and a notch (142) along the respective upper region, thereby providing additional reinforcement of the retention connection of the housing parts (11, 12) along the longitudinal extension thereof.

[0043] Las partes de carcasa primera y segunda (11, 12) presentan conexiones de carcasa (13; 131, 132) adaptadas para proporcionar un acoplamiento mecánico recíproco por medio de un movimiento de retención de una parte en la otra según al menos uno de: [0043] The first and second housing parts (11, 12) have housing connections (13; 131, 132) adapted to provide a reciprocal mechanical coupling by means of a retention movement of one part in the other according to at least one of:

- a lo largo de una dirección similar común a las esquinas de las partes de carcasa (11, 12), por lo que dicha dirección es preferentemente ortogonal con respecto a la cara superior de las partes de carcasa (11, 12) definida por la extensión de la carcasa primera y segunda (1); - along a similar direction common to the corners of the housing parts (11, 12), whereby said direction is preferably orthogonal with respect to the upper face of the housing parts (11, 12) defined by the extension of the first and second housing (1);

- a lo largo de una primera dirección en el caso de dos de las cuatro esquinas, y a lo largo de una segunda dirección en el caso de las otras dos esquinas, por lo que dichas direcciones primera y segunda son al menos aproximadamente ortogonales entre sí. - along a first direction in the case of two of the four corners, and along a second direction in the case of the other two corners, whereby said first and second directions are at least approximately orthogonal to each other.

[0044] Las partes de carcasa primera y segunda (11, 12) pueden proporcionarse en un material sintético y producirse como piezas individuales, preferentemente por medio de inyección en molde. [0044] The first and second housing parts (11, 12) can be provided in a synthetic material and produced as individual parts, preferably by means of injection moulding.

[0045] Las Figuras 9 a 18 representan una segunda realización preferida de la invención del kit de higiene según la presente invención, por lo que además de los utensilios primero y segundo (21, 22), se proporciona además un tercer utensilio de higiene personal (23), en este caso, en forma de una cuchilla de afeitar. [0045] Figures 9 to 18 represent a second preferred embodiment of the invention of the hygiene kit according to the present invention, whereby in addition to the first and second utensils (21, 22), a third personal hygiene utensil (23) is also provided, in this case, in the form of a razor blade.

[0046] Como se representa, la carcasa (1), en este caso, presenta además una forma generalmente rectangular cuando se observa desde la parte superior, manteniendo la dimensión relativa de la extensión primera y tercera, pero ahora con una segunda extensión de mayor dimensión relativa a las mismas. [0046] As shown, the housing (1), in this case, also has a generally rectangular shape when viewed from the top, maintaining the relative dimension of the first and third extension, but now with a second extension of greater dimension relative to them.

[0047] La carcasa (1) presenta además dos utensilios (21, 22) proporcionados para que puedan operarse de forma giratoria alrededor de los respectivos ejes de giro (X1, X2), entre las posiciones cerrada y abierta, y viceversa, sin que dicha manipulación requiera la abertura de la carcasa (1). En particular, los ejes de giro (X1), (X2) se proporcionan además de modo que dichos utensilios (21, 22) resulten con partes operativas respectivas orientadas hacia adentro cuando están en la posición cerrada. Sin embargo, en este caso, dichos ejes de giro (X1, X2) se proporcionan en regiones de esquina en un mismo lado de la carcasa (1), de modo que los utensilios primero y segundo (21, 22) se extienden en una misma dirección cuando están en una posición abierta. [0047] The housing (1) further features two implements (21, 22) provided so that they can be rotatably operated about respective rotation axes (X1, X2), between the closed and open positions, and vice versa, without such manipulation requiring the opening of the housing (1). In particular, the rotation axes (X1), (X2) are further provided so that said implements (21, 22) result with respective operating parts facing inwards when they are in the closed position. However, in this case, said rotation axes (X1, X2) are provided in corner regions on a same side of the housing (1), so that the first and second implements (21, 22) extend in a same direction when they are in an open position.

[0048] Por otra parte, la abertura lateral de carcasa (111, 112; 121, 122) también se proporciona en este caso para que los utensilios primero y segundo (21, 22) se puedan recoger en los respectivos espacios interiores (A, B) de la carcasa (1) con las respectivas partes operativas giradas cara a cara, en lugar de espalda con espalda. [0048] Furthermore, the lateral housing opening (111, 112; 121, 122) is also provided in this case so that the first and second utensils (21, 22) can be collected in the respective interior spaces (A, B) of the housing (1) with the respective operating parts turned face to face, instead of back to back.

[0049] En el caso de esta realización, dicha parte de carcasa (1) presenta además una tercera abertura de carcasa (113) dispuesta en un lado transversal de la carcasa (1) y adaptada para que proporcione la recogida de al menos parte de un tercer utensilio (23) en el espacio de recogida de la parte de carcasa (1) entre los espacios de recogida de dichos utensilios primero y segundo (21, 22).

[0050] La carcasa (1) presenta, en este caso, una doble pared interior (14) configurada para confinar los espacios de recogida de cada uno de los utensilios (21, 22, 23), en particular, extendiéndose a lo largo de la dirección longitudinal de la carcasa (1), y evitar así una eventual exposición cruzada a contaminantes o suciedad, según los respectivos usos de la higiene personal. [0050] The housing (1) has, in this case, a double inner wall (14) configured to confine the collection spaces of each of the utensils (21, 22, 23), in particular, extending along the longitudinal direction of the housing (1), and thus avoid any cross-exposure to contaminants or dirt, depending on the respective uses of personal hygiene.

[0051] Por otra parte, al menos una de las partes de carcasa primera y segunda (11, 12) presenta una abertura de manipulación (15) adaptada para permitir la manipulación de un tercer utensilio (23) hacia adelante y hacia atrás a lo largo de una extensión lineal en un espacio de recogida interior respectivo (C), entre una posición de recogida al menos parcial dentro de la carcasa (1) y una posición operativa donde se extiende fuera de la parte de carcasa (1). [0051] Furthermore, at least one of the first and second housing parts (11, 12) has a manipulation opening (15) adapted to allow the manipulation of a third utensil (23) back and forth along a linear extension in a respective inner collection space (C), between an at least partial collection position within the housing (1) and an operating position where it extends outside the housing part (1).

[0052] En el caso de esta realización, la carcasa (1) presenta además una tercera abertura de carcasa (113) adaptada para que proporcione la recogida de al menos parte de un tercer utensilio (23) en un tercer espacio interior (C) de la carcasa (1) proporcionado entre los espacios de recogida (A, B) de los utensilios primero y segundo (21,22). [0052] In the case of this embodiment, the housing (1) further has a third housing opening (113) adapted to provide collection of at least part of a third utensil (23) in a third interior space (C) of the housing (1) provided between the collection spaces (A, B) of the first and second utensils (21,22).

[0057] El mango de accionamiento (234) se acopla de manera móvil en la abertura de manipulación (15) para que pueda desplazarse hacia adelante y hacia atrás, y viceversa, a lo largo de la misma, y proporciona una retención del tercer utensilio (23) para que este último no pueda salir a través de la abertura de recogida (15) cuando se mueve a una posición abierta. [0057] The drive handle (234) is movably engaged in the handling opening (15) so that it can move back and forth, and vice versa, along it, and provides a retention of the third utensil (23) so that the latter cannot exit through the collection opening (15) when it is moved to an open position.

[0058] El tercer utensilio (23) presenta medios de acoplamiento móviles (235) proporcionados en el lado mutuamente opuesto de dicho mango de accionamiento (236), y que se acoplan con nodos duros (151, 152) proporcionados en el lado orientado hacia adentro de una parte de carcasa (11) en ambos lados en la proximidad de la abertura (15), en regiones límite de la trayectoria de movimiento lineal de accionamiento del tercer utensilio (23).

[0060] Por otra parte, en el caso de esta realización, el tercer utensilio (23) presenta medios de acoplamiento (236a, 236b) adaptados para que puedan acoplarse de manera móvil a lo largo de las muescas (236) proporcionadas en el lado directamente opuesto de las paredes interiores (141) de al menos una de las partes de carcasa (11, 12), y así proporcionar un desplazamiento lineal hacia adelante y hacia atrás, entre las posiciones recogida y extendida, y viceversa. [0060] Furthermore, in the case of this embodiment, the third utensil (23) presents coupling means (236a, 236b) adapted so that they can be movably coupled along the notches (236) provided on the directly opposite side of the inner walls (141) of at least one of the housing parts (11, 12), and thus provide a linear movement back and forth, between the retracted and extended positions, and vice versa.

[0061] El tercer utensilio (23) puede presentar además medios de retención (237) proporcionados en el borde libre opuesto a la parte operativa (231) y adaptados para que puedan retenerse en una parte del tercer espacio interior (C) de la carcasa (1). En el caso de esta realización, dichos medios de retención (237) se proporcionan en forma de un sujetador elástico de tipo resorte. [0061] The third utensil (23) may further have retaining means (237) provided on the free edge opposite the operating part (231) and adapted to be retainable in a part of the third inner space (C) of the housing (1). In the case of this embodiment, said retaining means (237) are provided in the form of a spring-type elastic fastener.

[0062] Las Figuras 15 a 18 representan una variante de retención del tercer utensilio (23). [0062] Figures 15 to 18 represent a variant of retention of the third utensil (23).

[0063] Las partes de carcasa (11, 12) en este caso presentan partes de conexión (13) adaptadas para proporcionar retención recíproca a lo largo de un movimiento en una sola dirección de aproximación y acoplamiento recíproco. En particular, más allá de dos primeras partes de conexión (131, 132) proporcionadas en regiones de esquina en un mismo lado de la carcasa (1), las partes de carcasa (11, 12) presentan dos segundas partes de conexión (133) proporcionadas en regiones de esquina diametralmente opuestas de la carcasa (1), en particular longitudinalmente opuestas, y configuradas, por ejemplo, como ganchos de acoplamiento por acoplamiento recíproco. [0063] The housing parts (11, 12) in this case have connection parts (13) adapted to provide reciprocal retention along a movement in a single direction of approach and reciprocal coupling. In particular, beyond two first connection parts (131, 132) provided in corner regions on a same side of the housing (1), the housing parts (11, 12) have two second connection parts (133) provided in diametrically opposite corner regions of the housing (1), in particular longitudinally opposite, and configured, for example, as reciprocal coupling hooks.

[0064] The third utensil (23) further comprises an operating handle (234) provided so as to protrude from said handling opening (15), as well as movable coupling means (235) provided on mutually opposite sides of said operating handle (236), and which engage with hard nodes (151, 152) of the housing part (11) having the handling opening (15).

[0065] Pero, en el caso de esta realización, el tercer utensilio (23) está configurado con una parte de soporte (232) de dimensión y forma al menos aproximadamente similar al tercer espacio de recogida (C), de modo que se puede recoger en el mismo y en forma de acoplamiento móvil a lo largo de la dirección longitudinal de la carcasa (1). Por otra parte, el tercer utensilio (23) presenta medios de acoplamiento móviles (no representados en el dibujo) asociados con el lado opuesto del tercer utensilio (23) y configurados de manera que se acoplan de manera móvil en las respectivas guías de deslizamiento (236) proporcionadas en las otras partes de la carcasa (12) y, con ello, proporcionen un deslizamiento del tercer utensilio (23) entre las posiciones cerrada y abierta, y viceversa. [0065] However, in the case of this embodiment, the third utensil (23) is configured with a support part (232) of dimension and shape at least approximately similar to the third collection space (C), so that it can be collected therein and in a movable coupling manner along the longitudinal direction of the housing (1). On the other hand, the third utensil (23) has movable coupling means (not shown in the drawing) associated with the opposite side of the third utensil (23) and configured so that they movably engage the respective sliding guides (236) provided in the other parts of the housing (12) and, thereby, provide a sliding of the third utensil (23) between the closed and open positions, and vice versa.

[0066] A continuación, se proporciona un tercer utensilio (23) con una forma más simple. [0066] A third utensil (23) is provided below with a simpler shape.

[0067] Por otra parte, se puede llevar a cabo una sustitución del tercer utensilio (23) de manera análoga al utensilio primero y segundo (21, 22), bastando con que el usuario retire una primera parte de carcasa (11), retire un utensilio viejo (21, 22, 23) y coloque uno nuevo, mediante un gesto similar en todos los casos, a lo largo de una dirección ortogonal a la dirección longitudinal de la carcasa (1). [0067] Furthermore, a replacement of the third utensil (23) can be carried out in a manner analogous to the first and second utensil (21, 22), the user only having to remove a first casing part (11), remove an old utensil (21, 22, 23) and place a new one, by means of a similar gesture in all cases, along a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the casing (1).

[0068] El tercer utensilio (23) puede proporcionarse de forma que pueda ser extraído de la carcasa (1) para su uso, y ser retenido de nuevo en el interior de la carcasa (1) tras dicho uso. [0068] The third utensil (23) may be provided so that it can be removed from the housing (1) for use, and be retained again within the housing (1) after such use.
