A lipstick cup for securing a lipstick cylinder or bullet, suitable for a soft lipstick formula, having a cylindrical body with a base and a sidewall having axially-arranged ribs distributed substantially evenly around the inner circumference of the sidewall near the base, that extending radially inwardly from the sidewall, and a plurality of shallow undercut structures distributed substantially evenly around the circumference of the sidewall, disposed circumferentially between the pairs of adjacent ribs, and tapering inwardly from the inner surface of the sidewall toward the base to provide an undersurface. The plurality of ribs displace and compress a portion of the material of the lipstick composition circumferentially toward and between the undersurface of the shallow undercut structures, and the base, for preventing the product from being dislodged from the cup.

The invention relates to a cap for cosmetic container, particularly for a cosmetic stick. Said cap (10, 20) is capable of receiving the cosmetic and is driven by a mechanism, referred to as an actuating mechanism (30), for actuating said container. The cap (10, 20) comprises two parts: a first part, referred to as a bottom cap (20), configured such as to engage with the actuating mechanism; and a second part, referred to as a top cap (10) capable of receiving the cosmetic. The bottom cap (20) and top cap (10) are separable from one another, the securing and/or separation of said two parts (10, 20) being achieved by resiliently deforming one portion of one of said two parts (10, 20) by means of the other of said two parts (10, 20). The invention also relates to a cosmetic container, particularly for a cosmetic stick and including the above-mentioned cap.

The present invention provides a cosmetic container comprising a body, and a rotating holder and a lifting holder which are disposed within the body, wherein the rotating holder is fixed inside the body, a gear partly protruding out of the rotating holder and the body is disposed within the rotating holder, and the lifting holder comprises a rack bar and a support holder for holding cosmetics, wherein the support holder is connected to an end of the rack bar closer to an opening part of the body, and the rack bar is vertically inserted in the rotating holder and is engaged with the gear. The cosmetic container has simple overall structure, and is capable of extending and retracting quickly and is convenient to use.

A packaged cosmetic stick product comprising a cosmetic stick composition mounted on an axially immobile retaining member, the retaining member being reversibly connected to a holder enabling the cosmetic stick product to be held in the human hand, wherein the retaining member comprises arcuate bridge structures separated by holes, the bridge structures arcing into the cosmetic stick composition and being embedded therein.

A refill is removably mountable on an actuation base and configured to receive a cosmetic product. The refill includes grooves and/or ribs configured to cooperate respectively with all or part of ribs and/or grooves of the actuation base so as to allow the refill to be mounted on the actuation base to allow an entry and/or an exit of the cosmetic product. To that end, the grooves and/or ribs of the refill extend longitudinally over a part of the height of an internal skirt toward a first end of the refill.

A device for applying a cosmetic product includes a cup comprising at least one lug; a guide comprising a slot passed through by an associated lug of the cup, the slot comprising an upper edge; a sheath comprising internally a helical groove for receiving the lug of the cup; and the lug (32) having an upper flattened area. The upper edge of the slot is inclined with respect to a radial plane.

A refillable lipstick is provided. In one implementation, a high-quality permanent lipstick dispenser incorporates a screw-type catch or a magnetic catch that enables replacement of the lipstick within the dispenser. Lipstick refills may be installed and removed from the dispenser with an extractor. In an implementation, the dispenser includes a sleeve that is arranged to extend and retract within the dispenser, to provide access to the lipstick for removal and/or installation.

A packaged deodorant stick product comprising a deodorant stick composition, a retaining member and a holder, the deodorant stick composition being mounted on the retaining member and the retaining member comprises one of a bayonet element and a socket and the holder comprises the other of the bayonet element and the socket, wherein the bayonet element is lockably receivable within the socket such that the retaining member is removably connectable to the holder.

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 refillable lipstick is provided. In one implementation, a high-quality permanent lipstick dispenser incorporates a screw-type catch or a magnetic catch that enables replacement of the lipstick within the dispenser. Lipstick refills may be installed and removed from the dispenser with an extractor. In an implementation, the dispenser includes a sleeve that is arranged to extend and retract within the dispenser, to provide access to the lipstick for removal and/or installation.
