Abstract

A cup for a mechanism of a cosmetic stick includes an irremovable portion and a removable portion. The irremovable portion can be assembled with the mechanism. The removable portion is configured to receive a cosmetic stick and provided with a mounting threads coupled to the irremovable portion. The removable portion is nested inside the irremovable portion and includes a lower neck. The lower neck includes a lower transverse bottom provided with a through opening, and an internal face. The internal face is couplable with an intermediate part configured to be attached at a level of the lower neck of the removable portion.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A module of a cup for a mechanism of a cosmetic stick, the module being configured to receive a cosmetic stick, to form a removable portion of the cup and to be nested inside an irremovable portion of the cup, the module comprising at least one mounting means adapted to be coupled to the irremovable portion of the cup, and a lower neck having:
a lower transverse bottom provided with a through opening; and
an internal face provided with a first attachment means intended to cooperate with a second attachment means of an intermediate part configured to be attached at the level of the lower neck of the module.

2. A cup for a mechanism of a cosmetic stick, comprising an irremovable portion provided with at least one means of assembly with the mechanism, and a removable portion configured to receive a cosmetic stick and provided with at least one mounting means coupled to the irremovable portion for mounting the removable portion, the removable portion being nested inside the irremovable portion and comprising a lower neck having:
a lower transverse bottom provided with a through opening; and
an internal face provided with a first attachment means intended to cooperate with a second attachment means of an intermediate part configured to be attached at the level of the lower neck of the removable portion.

3. The cup according to claim 2 , wherein the first attachment means is a circular notch formed on the internal face of the removable portion, the second attachment means comprising at least one protrusion formed on an external face of a skirt of the intermediate part.

4. The cup according to claim 3 , wherein the irremovable portion comprises at least one mounting means for mounting the irremovable portion, wherein the at least one mounting means for mounting the irremovable portion cooperates with the at least one means for mounting the removable portion, wherein the at least one mounting means for mounting the irremovable portion comprises an internal thread formed on an internal face of the irremovable portion, and wherein the at least one mounting means for mounting the removable portion comprises a thread formed on an external face of the removable portion.

5. A refill for a mechanism of a cosmetic stick, comprising a cosmetic stick and a support carrying the cosmetic stick, the support being configured to form a removable portion of a cup of the mechanism, the support comprising a lower neck having:
a lower transverse bottom provided with a through opening,
an internal face provided with a first attachment means intended to cooperate with a second attachment means of an intermediate part configured to be attached at the level of the lower neck of the support.

6. The refill according to claim 5 , wherein the support comprises at least one mounting means configured to reversibly cooperate with at least one means for mounting an irremovable portion of the cup of the mechanism.

7. The refill according to claim 6 , further comprising a protective casing forming a housing intended to be in communication with a housing of the support, the housing of the protective casing and the housing of the support forming a volume of the cosmetic stick.

8. The refill according to claim 7 , further comprising a tool configured to allow a dismounting of the support mounted in the cosmetic stick mechanism.

9. The refill according to claim 8 , wherein the tool comprises at least one proximal coupling means configured to cooperate with at least one hooking means of the support mounted in the mechanism.

10. The refill according to claim 9 , wherein the protective casing has a distal segment provided with at least one distal coupling means cooperating with the at least one hooking means of the support so that the support is attached to the protective casing.

11. The refill according to claim 10 , wherein the distal segment of the protective casing is provided with at least one second distal coupling means cooperating with at least one second hooking means of the support.

12. The refill according to claim 11 , wherein the tool is located at a proximal end of the protective casing, opposite the support.

13. The refill according to claim 5 , wherein the intermediate part of the support is an elevator intended to hold the support in an upper position relative to a bottom of the mechanism.

14. The refill according to claim 5 , wherein the intermediate part of the support is a sealing plug.

15. A receptacle for cosmetic product comprising a cup according to claim 4 .

16. A receptacle for a cosmetic product comprising a refill according to claim 5 .
