A deodorant dispensing system is provided. The system includes a reusable deodorant case having a body and a dial rotatably coupled to the body. The body is structured to receive a replaceable deodorant cartridge containing an unused deodorant puck. Operation of the dial along a predetermined rotational direction causes the deodorant puck to dispense for application by a user, whereas operation of the dial along a rotational direction opposite to the predetermined rotational direction causes the deodorant puck to retract within the deodorant cartridge. Operation of the dial to retract the deodorant puck after the deodorant puck is full retract causes the dial to rotate freely with respect to the body without causing damage to internal components of the deodorant dispensing system.

A deodorant system includes a substantially hollow, elongated housing open at either one or two opposing ends. The housing includes a peripheral wall that has at least one slot therethrough, the peripheral wall preferably including a front wall, a rear wall, and two opposing side walls that each includes one of the slots. A piston is slidably retained within the housing and has a cartridge attachment mechanism on a first and optionally a second side thereof. An actuator projects through each slot of the housing and is selectively positionable along the slot to position the piston within the housing. An interchangeable deodorant cartridge has a rigid base with a cooperative cartridge attachment mechanism on a bottom side thereof for attaching to the cartridge attachment mechanism of either one or two sides of the piston. A top side of the rigid base is fixed with a deodorant material.

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.

An incremental advance dispenser includes a barrel which has a longitudinal axis, a muzzle end, and an opposite breach end. A shuttle is slidably connected to the barrel and movable with respect to the barrel along the longitudinal axis. A cup which carries a product is movable within the barrel along the longitudinal axis. The shuttle is positionable to an extended position toward the muzzle end of the barrel, and to a retracted position toward the breach end of the barrel. Movement of the shuttle to the extended position from the retracted position causes the cup to move an incremental distance toward the muzzle end of the barrel.

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 system for sample, trial, and/or full-sized products includes a container defining at least one cavity, a product disk, a cosmetic product, and an applicator. The product disk includes a first side, a second side, a body extending therebetween, and a disk release mechanism. At least a portion of the first side of the product disk is selectively positionable adjacent to the at least one cavity of the container. The cosmetic product is at least partially disposed on the first side of the product disk. The applicator has first end that includes an applicator retention region and an applicator release region. The product disk is insertably coupled with the applicator retention region.

A discardable cartridge (310) having a limited quantity of a lip balm that is loaded into a closable applicator container, such as a piece of jewelry or a wearable accessory. The cartridge includes a rigid or resilient upper base (312) having a convex or flat top surface (314) upon which the lip balm is associated, and a volume of lip balm attached to the top surface of the base. The flat or convex top surface allows wiping the balm onto the lips single-handedly. The top surface of the cartridge includes a plurality of integrally-attached bristles (330, 332), between which the lip balm is embedded, anchoring the lip balm to the cartridge. and providing the additional function of exfoliation.

A device to dispensing a compound has a movable support arranged in a device housing in order to act on the compound, and a rotary handle in order to move the support between a lower starting position and a maximum upper extended position of the support. The handle has a spindle which can be rotated about a longitudinal axis provided in the movement direction of the support. A spindle nut is additionally provided on the support. The spindle nut has a length in the direction of the longitudinal axis, the length being greater than the distance between the lower starting position and the maximum upper extended position in the movement direction of the support. According to another solution, a combination of the support, the spindle, and the compound can be inserted into the device housing from the top for connecting to the rotary handle.

A coupling seal of a container is provided. The coupling seal of a container includes a container with an interior reservoir. The interior reservoir is accessible via a rim about an aperture. The rim includes a number of protrusions. The protrusions are placed about the circumference of the rim so that a containment apparatus can mate with the rim. The containment apparatus includes a surface with a peripheral flange protruding therefrom. A number of arises are provided on the peripheral flange and are designed to mate with the protrusions of the rim. Rotation of the containment apparatus upon the rim causes the arises of the containment apparatus to mate with the protrusions of the rim, causing the container to seal.

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.
