  • Patent number: 11377291
    Abstract: A sealed device (1) for protecting and dispensing pasty or creamy products (7), includes a reservoir (2) containing the product (7) and suitable for receiving, at the bottom end thereof, a longitudinally movable sealing plug (3). The reservoir (2) is longitudinally movable like a piston in a pump body (4) and it is forced into the closed position by a spring element (5) that cooperates in compression with a lateral outer projection (2e) of the reservoir (2) and with the top of the side wall (6b) of the base (6) attached to the pump body (4). The pump body (4) includes an elastically deformable upper membrane (4a) providing a pump function and also includes, on an upper lateral wall thereof (4c), a lateral opening (4e) for dispensing the product (7). The assembled reservoir (2) and pump body (4) form a system suitable for circulating the product (7) via a compression chamber (C) supplied from the reservoir (2) by at least one upper inlet orifice (2b).

  • Patent number: 9814294
    Abstract: An applicator device comprising a tubular base, a sleeve mounted rotating on the tubular base between a storage position and a use position, an end cover designed to close the sleeve, a maneuvering mechanism comprising first and second parts rotatably mounted relative to each other, and a cup carrying a stick of product, the first and second parts being driven in rotation respectively with the tubular base and the sleeve and being designed to move the cup axially when the sleeve rotates on the tubular base. The first and second parts of the maneuvering mechanism are mounted axially sliding respectively relative to the tubular base and to the sleeve, and are moved axially in the outlet direction of the stick of product when the sleeve is rotated towards the storage position from an intermediate angular position.

  • Publication number: 20060099024
    Abstract: A revolving case (1) comprises a base (2) mounted mobile in axial rotation relative to a tubular body (3). A slide (4) for receiving a product to be protected is movably mounted in the base, the base (2) comprises a guide (20) for driving the slide (4) in axial translation when the base (2) is axially rotated relative to the tubular body (3). The axial rotation of the base (2) relative to the tubular body (3) drives the slide (4) simultaneously in rotation and in axial translation relative to said tubular body (3). The height of the slide (4) and the height of the guide (20) are not greater than the external height of the base (2).

  • Patent number: 6513536
    Abstract: A rotary holder, particularly for a cosmetic product, which includes a base, a pivoting body pivotally mounted on the base, a cursor driven in longitudinal translation by rotational movement of the pivoting body, and a closing cap adapted to be affixed to the pivoting body due to complementary fixing mechanisms. The complementary fixing mechanisms facilitate connection between the cap and the pivoting body along a longitudinal axis of the holder, which prevents respective translation between the cap and the pivoting body, and which leaves the cap free to rotate with respect to the pivoting body about the longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 6190074
    Abstract: Turning case mechanism particularly for cosmetic products, composed of a pivoting body mounted in rotation on a main piece, formed by a traveler, base and hinge elements connecting the base to the traveler, between a lower articulation point with the base and an upper articulation point with the traveler; said traveler intended to be mobile between an open or upper position and a closed or lower position, characterized in that when the traveler is in the lower position, the hinge elements are arranged at least in part below the horizontal plane that contains the lower articulation point.

  • Patent number: 6109807
    Abstract: Lipstick refills in a plurality of colors are packaged in a cylindrical body (3), which is clear plastic along its upper half. The body defines one or more helical grooves (7) in a lower half which receive tips (6a, 6b) of a sliding unit (4) in which a stick of lipstick is received. A pointed hollow element (12) covers the stick of lipstick during transportation and sale, but is removed for use. The sliding unit defines one or more longitudinal grooves (5a, 5b) which slidingly receive longitudinally extending ribs (2a, 2b) of a base (1) when detents (8a) of the base snap into annular groove (9) of the body. As the body and base are rotated relative to each other, the interaction of the longitudinal ribs (2a, 2b) and the longitudinal groove (5a, 5b) cause the sliding unit to rotate relative to the body and follow along the spiral grooves extending and retracting the stick of lipstick.

  • Patent number: 5066204
    Abstract: A diaphragm pump intended to pump gases or highly-volatile liquids include a vibrating arm (6) acting on a diaphragm (5) placed into oscillation by a fixed electromagnet (7) fed with alternating or direct electric current. The vibrating arm (6) is composed of a single piece of plastic material, with an enlarged head (11) integrally molded with at least one permanent magnet (9) located opposite electromagnet (7). Opposite the head (11), the vibrating arm (6) has an elastically deformable part (12) attaching the arm to pump housing (1).

  • Patent number: 5039286
    Abstract: A centrifugal pump, intended for pumping liquids, includes a impeller (1) connected in rotation to a rotor (7) with a permanent magnet that is part of a synchronous motor. The rotor (7) which has an axial clearance (L) is accommodated in a cylindrical housing (10) that is part of the body (9) of stator (8) of the motor. To orient the drive direction (F) of rotor (7) on the starting of the pump, complementary configurations are provided on the front face of rotor (7) away from impeller (1) and at the bottom of housing (10). These configurations comprise helicoidal surfaces (14, 16) connected at their ends by notches (15, 17).
