Abstract: Pot comprising a body, a container, and a cover pivoted to the body, characterized in that the container (2, 32), closed by a movable wall (3, 33) insulating the substance from the exterior, communicates with the suction side of an incorporated measuring pump (12-17, 40, 39) which delivers the substance into an incorporated receptacle (15, 56) which is covered at rest by the cover (21, 34); and in that the reversible action of utilization, in a single movement engaging the cover, first of all clears the access to the receptacle and then actuates the pump.

Abstract: In a case equipped with a rotary mechanism for substances in stick form, the danger of accidental disengagement of the nipples of the sliding cup from the guide sleeves at the end of travel of the nipples is eliminated by inserting the edges of the walls of the slots of the inner sleeve within channels formed in the nipples.

Abstract: Device comprising a collar (10a) whose annular base, fixed to the inner member (4a), is extended by a plurality of lugs (9a) which are resiliently deformable radially and whose free ends come into frictional contact within a cylindrical bearing solidly attached to the outer member (6a).

Abstract: A single-use article for packaging fusible substances, in particular for sampling purposes, can be formed in one piece and has a tubular stem. One end of the stem terminates in a perforated dome which supports a thin layer of substance to be sampled and carries a removable cover.

Abstract: A packaging pot for marketing various products, comprising a container housed within a casing body covered by a casing lid which pivots about a horizontal articulation, with a resilient snap-action closure system releasable by manual action on an externally projecting lug. The container is clamped in a single-piece ring comprising a lower annular member which is integral with the container and a pivoting upper annular member which is joined to the lower annular member by means of a flexible hinge-strap, the two annular members being provided respectively with complementary snap-fastening elements, the top portion of the casing body being fastened around the lower annular member and the bottom portion of the casing lid being fastened around the upper annular member.

Abstract: A tubular casing which is designed to be stable in an upright position it has a bottom portion with an axial opening into which is forcibly fitted an axial spigot on a base member which engages the bottom portion. An annular ballast weight is fitted around the spigot and is held in place on it by the bottom portion; the ballast weight may have claws on its inside to engage the spigot, which can be of tapering form and has latching members to hold it in the opening.
