In one embodiment, a container includes a housing assembly and an insert assembly. Each component of the housing assembly may designed to be reused, and each component of the insert assembly may be designed to be reused, recycled, or composted, depending on the materials employed for construction. Reusable components of the container may be constructed of non-reactive, durable materials that are not susceptible, or at least resistant, to rust and/or corrosion. Example materials for the reusable components include stainless steel, aluminum, carbon fiber, various types of polymers, and silicone. The container may be designed to allow simple and complete assembly and disassembly. The reusable parts may be cleaned, replaced, or repaired, as needed, and recyclable or compostable parts may be separated and cleaned in preparation for recycling or composting.

A dispensing-by-rotation liquid cosmetic container includes a pen body, a piston, a threaded rod and a threaded cylinder, which are coaxially arranged. A pen cap is sleeved on the front end of the pen body. A receiving space is provided inside the pen body. A bristle assembly is fixedly arranged at the front end of the receiving space. The pen cap is sleeved on the bristle assembly. The piston is provided in the receiving space. The piston is in an interference fit with the inner wall of the pen body and moves axially along the inner wall of the pen body, and the piston is fixedly connected to the threaded rod. The threaded rod is rotatably connected to the threaded cylinder by an internal thread. The threaded cylinder and the pen body are axially snap-fitted and rotate relative to each other in the circumferential direction.

A two-sided applicator assembly includes a first tube and a second tube. A first dispenser is rotatably coupled to the first tube and a second dispenser is rotatably coupled to the second tube. Moreover, the first dispenser is coupled to the second dispenser such that the first tube is directed in an opposite direction from the second tube. A first cylinder is movably coupled to the first dispenser and the first cylinder is comprised of a pliable material. The first cylinder is infused with a chemical lip balm for applying the chemical lip balm to lips. A second cylinder is movably coupled to the second dispenser and the second cylinder is comprised of a pliable material. The second cylinder is infused with a chemical sunscreen for applying the chemical sunscreen to skin.

A container for stick type content includes a housing, a manipulation portion coupled to a lower side of the housing to be relatively rotatable with the housing, a first lifting portion provided inside the housing and including an accommodation portion on top in which at least a part of content is accommodated, and a second lifting portion provided inside the first lifting portion and including a support portion disposed inside the accommodation portion to support the content from below. The first lifting portion and the second lifting portion move upward or downward according to rotation of the manipulation portion, and the first lifting portion and the second lifting portion move upward simultaneously and move the content upward when the manipulation portion rotates in one direction while the second lifting portion moves upward alone and moves the content further upward when the first lifting portion moves upward to a certain height.

A one-hand lipstick container includes a cylindrical main body extending in axial direction; a cover holder rotatably received on an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical main body via a first screw mechanism therebetween; a cover hinged to the cover holder to open and close an opening at an upper end of the one-hand lipstick container; a lipstick housing rotatably received on an inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical main body via a second screw mechanism therebetween, an intermediate member interposed radially between the cylindrical main body and the lipstick housing, the intermediate member including a head and a guide sleeve extending from the head, an upper case affixed to the intermediate member; a bottom case affixed to the cylindrical main body; and a cover guide attached to the head of the intermediate member, the cover guide including a cover guide groove along which the cover is guided.

A dispenser for a product in stick form includes a product stick carrier (210), an outer sleeve (206) and a product concealing sleeve (208). The product stick carrier (210) includes a product stick support (225). The outer sleeve (206) is a cylindrical tube disposed radially outwardly of the product stick carrier (210). The product stick carrier (210) is fixed relative to the outer sleeve (206). The product concealing sleeve (208) is a cylindrical tube disposed radially inwardly of the outer sleeve (206) and is retractable from a first, fully extended position relative to the outer sleeve (206) and product stick carrier (210) for concealing a product stick (204) supported by the product stick support (225) in use in order to expose the product stick (204). The product concealing sleeve (208) is disposed radially outwardly of the product stick carrier (210) between the product stick carrier (210) and the outer sleeve (206). Inter-engaging formations are associated with either the product concealing sleeve (208) and the outer sleeve (206) or the product stick carrier (210) and product concealing sleeve (208). The inter-engaging formations cooperate with one another to prevent advancement of the product concealing sleeve (208) relative to the outer sleeve (206) and product stick carrier (210) beyond a set point so as to define the first, fully extended position. The outer sleeve (206), product concealing sleeve (208) and product stick carrier (210) are each formed of a paper-based or card-based material.

A device for discharging a substance has a device housing equipped with a movable support in order to act on the substance, and a rotary handle for moving the support between a lower starting position and an upper extended position of the support. The rotary handle forms a spindle part together with a spindle. The spindle part passes through a housing base, and is locked to the housing base and is sealed. A locking protrusion engages into a locking recess of the spindle part, and a seal protrusion sealingly rests against a circumferential surface of the spindle part. The locking recess of the spindle part is formed axially below the circumferential surface which interacts with the seal protrusion. The seal protrusion is formed on a sleeve section of the device housing, and a sleeve section seal edge is sealingly surrounded by the spindle part in a U-shaped manner.
