Abstract
The mechanism comprises an inner hollow sleeve (60) and an outer sleeve (62) rotatably mounted around the inner sleeve (60). The outer sleeve (62) delimits an helical track (105), the inner sleeve (60) delimiting an axial track (72) intersecting the helical track (105). The mechanism comprises a cup (64) for holding the stick (12). The cup (64) is able to be actuated from an initial configuration, in which its axial movement between a retracted inner position and a deployed outer position is prevented when the inner sleeve (60) is rotated relative to the outer sleeve (62), and a use configuration, in which relative rotation between the inner sleeve (60) and the outer sleeve (62) induces an axial movement of the cup (64) between its inner retracted position and its outer deployed position.
