Patent number: 10836205Abstract: A manual device extends in an axial direction and includes a housing having a first housing portion and a second housing portion. First and second heads are each axially movable between a use position and a stowed position. The first head is in the stowed position when the second head is in the use position, whereas the second head is in the stowed position when the first head is in the use position. The first head and the second head both are carried by a single carriage movable in the axial direction and arranged inside a barrel. A groove forming a cam track is formed by a first shoulder of the first housing portion and by a second shoulder of the barrel. A lug of the carriage cooperates with the groove.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2017Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: SOCIETE BICInventors: Franck Rolion, Samuel Malinverni, Arnaud Bez

Patent number: 10807405Abstract: A hand-held device includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is engaged at least in part with the second portion while being movable in translation in an axial direction relative to the second portion. The first portion presents a first distal end while the second portion presents a second distal end opposite from the first distal end in the axial direction. A blocking device is configured to prevent the first portion from moving in translation in the axial direction relative to the second portion only when, considered in the gravity direction, the first distal end is arranged above the second distal end. The blocking device includes a chamber and a ball or the equivalent housed in the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2017Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: SOCIETE BICInventors: Etienne Michenaud, Samuel Malinverni, Arnaud Bez
