A system for refilling a stick product, such as lipstick or deodorant, in a propel-repel dispenser allows the reuse of the propel-repel mechanism. The stick product refill is shaped and dimensioned to be inserted into the open end of the dispenser and to attach to the receptacle that holds the stick product after the used product has been removed. Attachment of the refill to the stick receptacle is by an attachment component on the outer surface of an anchor cap enclosing the distal end of the refill and/or on the receptacle itself. Once secured to the receptacle, the refill can be advanced and retracted by the propel-repel mechanism so that it protrudes when in use and is withdrawn with the dispenser to protect it when not in use.

A lip balm container is disclosed, including a housing having a dial to rotate a gear to extend and retract a gear strip. The gear strip is in communication with a lip balm tube at least partially retained within the interior of the housing, wherein rotating the dial permits the extension and retraction of a lip balm disposed within the lip balm tube. A lid pivotally engaged, via a hinge, with the housing to enclose the lip balm within the housing.

A dispenser includes a dispenser housing having a formed end with sidewalls arising therefrom creating an aperture to gain access to an interior volume within. The aperture of the dispenser housing is exposed by removal of an enclosure apparatus which mates to the dispenser housing. Upon removal of the enclosure apparatus, a material is deposited within the dispenser housing aligned and coupled towards the formed end of the dispenser housing, allowing dispensation of material within the interior volume via the aperture.

A cap closes off the open upper end of the shell through a magnetic attachment. The cartridge assembly includes a product cartridge, threaded jackscrew and riser. The jackscrew includes lever and a knob that fits onto the lever, such that when the knob is rotated, the riser slides up and down within the cartridge to advance and retract the product. The cap, case and knob may have outer side surfaces that are flush, at least when the knob is at particular degrees of rotation. The product to be administered is a preferably a waxy or semi-solid such as a lip balm, deodorant or other cosmetic or personal hygiene or protective product.

A refillable repetitively reusable dispensing apparatus including a dispenser housing having a sidewall, a base and an open top end. A removable cap is placed on the open top end. The cap has a plurality of apertures located therein. The side wall has an aperture located therethrough. There is a movable dispenser base located within the housing, wherein the movable dispenser base creates a seal with the sidewall. A screw rod having a knob attached, wherein when the knob is turned the screw rod is rotated. The screw rod and the knob are rotatably attached within the dispenser housing such that the knob protrudes through the aperture. A scissor lift is attached to the screw rod at one pair of ends. The scissor lift is attached to the movable dispenser base at the second pair of ends.

Packaging and application device for a cosmetic product, kit and covering device This device (10) comprises a first part (12) and a covering (16) that can be moved between an engaged position and a free position. The displacement between the engaged position and the free position is made by translation of the covering (16) along the longitudinal axis (D) away from the first part (12) from the second end (26) of the first part (12), The first part (12) or the covering (16) comprises at least one flexible indexing tab (56), the covering (16) or the first part (12) comprising an indexing surface (38). The movement from the engaged position to the free position can be controlled by manually pulling the covering (16) relative to the first part (12) in translation along the longitudinal axis (D) and away from the first part (12), manually pulling disengages the flexible indexing tab (56) from the indexing surface (38).

A deodorant dispensing apparatus including a reusable product dispenser and a deodorant refill cartridge releasably coupled to the reusable product dispenser. The reusable product dispenser includes a cylindrical housing, a base, a telescope, and a spring. The base is rotatably coupled to the cylindrical housing and operably coupled to the telescope. The spring is operably coupled to a spring holster of the base and the telescope. The deodorant refill cartridge includes a refill barrel and refill plunger. The refill plunger is rotatably coupled to the refill barrel, which retains a deodorant product therein. The refill barrel includes a latching mechanism for releasably coupling the refill barrel to the reusable product dispenser.

A cartridge is provided with a cartridge outer tube having a through hole and a support member that supports a cosmetic and that is received in the cartridge outer tube so as to be movable in the axial direction; the support member has a rod shaft portion that is linked to a tip end of a push rod at a base end thereof and a support tube that is provided on a tip end of the rod shaft portion and that supports the cosmetic; the through hole has a tip-end storing hole that stores the cosmetic and a base-end sliding hole that is provided so as to communicate with the tip-end storing hole, the base-end sliding hole being configured such that a linking portion formed of the tip end of the push rod and the base end of the support member slides therein in a linkage unreleasable state; and the linking portion is moved out from the base-end sliding hole by a feeding mechanism and is moved in a linkage releasable region in the tip-end storing hole.
