Abstract

The present invention relates to a device ( 10 ″) for supporting a cosmetic article, of the type comprising a casing ( 12 ) that defines an internal cavity ( 22 ) and a body ( 14 ) for receiving a cosmetic article ( 16 ), the body ( 14 ) being able to be moved from a storage position in the casing to a position for extracting the body ( 14 ) from the casing, the device also comprising an intermediate member ( 52 ) that can be moved together with the body ( 14 ) between the storage position and the extraction position, the intermediate member comprising, on the one hand, a cap ( 72 ) defining a housing for receiving a portion of the body ( 14 ) and, on the other hand, a head ( 70 ) bearing at least one element of the releasable retaining assembly, the device ( 10 ″) being characterized in that the cap is freely rotatable about the longitudinal axis (A-A′) relative to the head of the intermediate member.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A device for supporting a cosmetic article, of the type comprising:
a casing that defines an internal cavity;
a body for receiving a cosmetic article, the body being able to be moved in a first direction along a longitudinal axis relative to the casing from a storage position of the body in the casing in which the body is positioned at least partly in the internal cavity to a position for extracting the body from the casing, and in a second direction opposite to the first direction along the longitudinal axis from the extraction position to the storage position by pushing on the body;
a pushing member, which is movably mounted relative to the casing in the first direction along the longitudinal axis from a rest configuration to a configuration for moving the body to the extraction position thereof;
an assembly for retaining the body in the storage position thereof, the retaining assembly being able to be released by moving the pushing member from the rest configuration thereof to the configuration thereof for moving the body;
an intermediate member that can be moved together with the body between the storage position and the extraction position, the intermediate member being retained in the casing in the extraction position, the body being movable relative to the intermediate member in the extraction position to a position completely extracted from the casing, the intermediate member comprising:
a cap defining a housing for receiving a portion of the body, and
a head bearing at least one element of the releasable retaining assembly,
the device being characterized in that the cap is freely rotatable about the longitudinal axis relative to the head of the intermediate member.

2. The device according to claim 1 , characterized in that it comprises a member for elastic urging of the pushing member towards the rest configuration thereof.

3. The device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the pushing member is brought back to the rest position thereof by pushing on the body to the storage position thereof.

4. The device according to claim 1 , characterized in that, in the storage position, the body is completely contained in the internal cavity.

5. The device according to claim 1 , characterized in that it comprises a member for elastic urging of the body towards the extraction position thereof, the retaining assembly retaining the body in the storage position thereof against the member for elastic urging of the body when the pushing member occupies the rest configuration thereof.

6. The device according to claim 5 , characterized in that the member for elastic urging of the body and the member for elastic urging of the pushing member are formed by a common elastic urging member, mechanically stacked between the pushing member and the body.

7. The device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the portion of the body received in the cap is fixed in rotation about the longitudinal axis relative to said cap.

8. Device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the head is mounted freely in rotation about a corresponding pin of the cap.

9. The device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the receiving body comprises a receiving tube and a base for extracting the cosmetic product from the receiving tube, the cosmetic product being in stick or block form.
