A method for attaching a stick of lipstick to a dispenser, the stick comprising a distal end intended for the lips, the dispenser comprising a receptacle having an insertion opening adapted to fit with a proximal end of the stick, said method comprising:
- a moving step in which the insertion opening and the proximal end of the stick are brought adjacent to one another so that the insertion opening is substantially blocked, and
- a nesting step in which the stick is nested in the receptacle due to negative pressure created within the receptacle by a vacuum pump.
A method for assembling a lipstick dispenser, comprising a step of preassembling the receptacle with an actuation mechanism of the dispenser, a step of attaching the stick of lipstick according to one of the above claims, and after the attachment of the stick of lipstick, a step of assembling the actuation mechanism with a decorative shell.
A machine for attaching a stick of lipstick to a dispenser, the stick comprising a distal end intended for the lips, the dispenser comprising a receptacle having an insertion opening adapted to fit with a proximal end of the stick, said machine comprising:
- a moving mechanism for bringing the insertion opening and the proximal end of the stick adjacent to one another so that the insertion opening is substantially blocked, and
- a device for creating negative pressure inside the receptacle so that the stick is nested inside the receptacle, said device comprising a vacuum pump.
