A product dispensing apparatus including a reusable product dispenser and a refill cartridge configured to releasably couple to the reusable product dispenser. The reusable product dispenser includes a housing defining a longitudinal axis, a base rotatably coupled to a proximal portion of the housing, and a telescope assembly. The base is configured to rotate about the longitudinal axis in a first direction and a second direction. The telescope assembly includes a proximal section and a distal section movable relative to the proximal section along the longitudinal axis defined by the housing between a collapsed condition and an extended condition. At least one of the proximal section or the distal section is operably coupled to the base such that rotation of the base about the longitudinal axis causes corresponding rotation of the telescope assembly about the longitudinal axis.

A rotating mechanism for a cosmetic case includes a slider (2) that is equipped with two studs, each of which crosses a helicoidal opening (6) of a spiral casing (3) that is pressed onto the slider (2). The studs each extend into a longitudinal port that is arranged inside an exterior sleeve (4) and that is pressed onto the spiral casing (3). The slider (2) includes two parts, namely an upper end including a cradle (13) designed to receive a cosmetic product, and an elongated cylindrical portion (14) in which the studs at its lower end are arranged.

A cosmetic container (1) for applying a lip balm (2). The cosmetic container includes a cap (14), an upper inner shell (19, 149) and a base (16). The base has a lower inner shell (3), a bottom through opening (23), a one piece support frame (30) for supporting the balm. The support frame includes a central hollow hub (36) having a multiplicity of radial through slits (500), and a multiplicity of radial walls (34) partitioning the inside of the lower inner shell (3) into sectors of space (18).

A refillable dispenser including a casing and a platform for receiving consumable material. A knob rotatably mounted at a bottom end of the dispenser is mechanically coupled to the platform such that rotating the knob moves the platform up or down within the dispenser. Gripping arms connected to the platform are configured to flex toward a longitudinal axis and engage the consumable material when the platform is away from a top travel position such that the consumable material is secured to the platform. The gripping arms are configured to flex away from the longitudinal axis and release the consumable material from the platform when the platform is at the top travel position.

An environmentally friendly lipstick case formed of PET includes a cap including an internal annular groove on a bottom; a rotation tube including internal spiral guide grooves; an ascending and descending tube including two opposite guide pins on an outer surface, and longitudinal ribs on an inner surface; a support tube including two opposite longitudinal tunnels on a surface, each longitudinal tunnel having an upper horizontal end and a lower horizontal end oriented in a direction opposite to that of the upper horizontal end, and an annular toothed member on a bottom of an inner surface; and a lower exterior casing including an annular shoulder on an outer surface of an upper portion, projections between the annular shoulder and an open top, and a protrusion on a blind bottom disposed in the toothed member. The guide pins are moveably disposed through the longitudinal tunnels into the guide grooves.

A method for forming a facial pad, the method including: (a) forming a water-impermeable film on one surface of a first sheet body that is flexible and elastic; (b) forming a water-impermeable film on one surface of a second sheet body that is flexible and elastic; (c) applying a creamed or gelled beauty material on a surface of the film formed in step (a); (d) after step (c), stacking the first sheet body and the second sheet body so as to sandwich the beauty material between the films formed in steps (a) and (b); and (e) cutting the first sheet body and the second sheet body which sandwich the beauty material in step (d) into a predetermined shape.

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 cosmetic container may include a base assembly including an open top and a closed bottom, and a cap configured to be removably coupled to the base assembly. The base assembly may include a helical slot on an inner surface. The cosmetic container may include a shell configured to fit within the base assembly, and a cup configured to fit within the shell. The cup may be configured to engage with the helical slot to move up and down within the cosmetic container. The cup may be configured for holding a cosmetic product stick. The base assembly, the shell, the cup and the cap may be formed from a same eco-friendly material.
