Abstract

The invention relates to a device for assembling a bottle ( 21 ) and an applicator ( 11 ), said device being intended to occupy a first position in which the bottle ( 21 ) and the applicator ( 11 ) are assembled, referred to as the assembled position, and a second position in which the bottle ( 21 ) and the applicator ( 11 ) are free, referred to as the use position, said device comprising a first component and a second component, said first component comprising a cam ( 12 ) and said second component comprising a cam track ( 22 ), said cam track ( 22 ) being open so as to allow said cam ( 12 ) to escape out of said cam track ( 22 ). The invention also relates to an applicator ( 11 ) comprising one of the components ( 12, 22 ) of said assembly device. The invention also relates to an assembly consisting of an applicator ( 11 ) and a bottle ( 21 ) comprising such an assembly device.

1 . A device for assembling a bottle and an applicator, said bottle being intended to receive a cosmetic product, said device being intended to occupy a first assembled position in which the bottle and the applicator are assembled, and a second use position in which the bottle and the applicator are free, said device comprising:
 a first component mounted fixedly with respect to either the bottle or the applicator, and   a second component mounted fixedly with respect to the applicator when the first component is mounted fixedly with respect to the bottle, or with respect to the bottle when the first component is mounted fixedly with respect to the applicator,   said first component comprising a cam and said second component comprising a cam track that is open so as to allow said cam to escape out of said cam track.   
     
     
         2 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said cam track extends on an annular path and has at least one escape portion situated at a top edge of said cam track and oriented in a direction transverse to said annular path. 
     
     
         3 . The device according to  claim 2 , wherein said top edge comprises locking portions alternating angularly with said escape portions. 
     
     
         4 . The device according to  claim 3 , wherein said cam track comprises a bottom edge in a sawtooth forming, with said top edge, portions guiding one of the escape portions towards one of the locking portions and portions guiding one of the locking portions towards one of the escape portions. 
     
     
         5 . An applicator for a bottle intended to receive a cosmetic product, the applicator comprising a component of an assembly device intended to occupy a first assembled position in which the bottle and the applicator are assembled, and a second use position in which the bottle and the applicator are free, the component being selected from the group consisting of:
 a first component mounted fixedly with respect to either the bottle or the applicator, and   a second component mounted fixedly with respect to the applicator when the first component is mounted fixedly with respect to the bottle, or with respect to the bottle when the first component is mounted fixedly with respect to the applicator,   said first component comprising a cam and said second component comprising a cam track that is open so as to allow said cam to escape out of said cam track.   
     
     
         6 . The applicator according to  claim 5 , further comprising a rod carrying an applicator end piece. 
     
     
         7 . The applicator according to  claim 6 , further comprising a gripping element able to move with respect to said rod. 
     
     
         8 . The applicator according to  claim 7 , in which said rod and said gripping element have, with respect to each other, a degree of freedom in rotation about a principal axis of said rod. 
     
     
         9 . The applicator according to  claim 8 , wherein said gripping element is situated in a vicinity of a proximal end of said rod. 
     
     
         10 . The applicator according to  claim 5 , wherein said rod has a sealing part adapted to close said bottle sealingly when the device is in the assembled position. 
     
     
         11 . The applicator according to  claim 10 , wherein said sealing part is a groove. 
     
     
         12 . The applicator according to  claim 10 , wherein said sealing part is situated at the component when the component is mounted fixedly to said applicator. 
     
     
         13 . An assembly consisting of an applicator and a bottle, comprising an assembly device said bottle being intended to receive a cosmetic product, said device being intended to occupy a first assembled position in which the bottle and the applicator are assembled, and a second use position in which the bottle and the applicator are free, said device comprising:
 a first component mounted fixedly with respect to either the bottle or the applicator, and   a second component mounted fixedly with respect to the applicator when the first component is mounted fixedly with respect to the bottle, or with respect to the bottle when the first component is mounted fixedly with respect to the applicator,   said first component comprising a cam and said second component comprising a cam track that is open so as to allow said cam to escape out of said cam track.   
     
     
         14 . The assembly according to  claim 13 , wherein said applicator is adapted able to move in translation along a principal axis of the bottle. 
     
     
         15 . The applicator according to  claim 11 , wherein said sealing part is situated at the component when the component is mounted fixedly to said applicator.
