Lipstick mechanism or the like with frictional braking
This lipstick mechanism comprising an inner tubular sleeve ( 1 ), an outer tubular sleeve ( 3 ), a stick-holder cup ( 2 ) arranged in the inner tubular sleeve ( 1 ). The inner sleeve comprises a cylindrical base ( 12 ) in the wall ( 21 ) in which are formed friction pads designed to be pressed elastically on a cylindrical bearing surface ( 7 ) linked to the outer sleeve ( 3 ), a thinned wall ( 23 ) completely surrounding the periphery of each pad ( 22 ).
1. Lipstick mechanism comprising an inner tubular sleeve ( 1 ) free to rotate inside an outer tubular sleeve ( 3 ), the sleeves being provided with two longitudinal slots ( 10 , 11 ) and two helical slots ( 5 ) to guide the studs ( 6 ) fitted on a stick-holder cup ( 2 ) located in the inner tubular sleeve ( 1 ) in translation, the inner sleeve being provided with a cylindrical base ( 12 ) in the wall ( 21 ) of which is formed elastic friction relief designed to be pressed elastically on a cylindrical bearing surface ( 7 ) linked to the outer sleeve ( 3 ), the relief being formed of pads ( 22 ) placed on a thinned part ( 23 ) of the wall ( 21 ) of the cylindrical base, characterized in that the thinned wall ( 23 ) completely surrounds the periphery of each pad.
2. Mechanism according to claim 1 , characterized in that each pad ( 22 ) has a small overthickness (e) with respect to the wall ( 21 ) of the cylindrical base.
3. Mechanism according to claim 2 , characterized in that the overthickness (e) of the pad ( 22 ) is of the order of a few hundredths of a millimeter.
4. Mechanism according to claims 1 , characterized in that the pads ( 22 ) are grouped in pairs.
5. Mechanism according to claim 4 , characterized in that there are two opposite pairs of pads ( 22 ).
6. Mechanism according to claim 1 , characterized in that the inner sleeve is made from an injected plastic material.
