Abstract:
An applicator holder device, comprising a holder having a longitudinal axis (X) and wherein there is mounted a pusher mechanism capable of coming to engage with drive means for selectively passing from a rest position inside the holder to an active position wherein the pusher mechanism is capable of driving an applicator capable of displacement in translation in an axial duct arranged in a head detachably mounted on the holder; and means for automatically producing the disengagement of the drive means from the pusher mechanism when the head is being removed from the holder, and for causing the pusher mechanism to pass from its active position to the rest position under the effect of an axial force exerted by restoring means; characterized in that the drive means have a resilience of which an axial component exerts on the pusher mechanism, when the pusher mechanism is engaged with the drive means, an axial restoring force in a direction opposed to the direction of the axial force exerted by said restoring means, in response to an axial pressure exerted on the pusher mechanism via the applicator.
