Abstract: The cartridge C and the case body 10 relatively rotate to rotate the extruding rod 13 by engaging the rotary driving hole 24a to the shaft 14. The extruding rod 13 moves back and forward against the exterior case 11 of the case body 10 along an axial direction of the extruding rod 13. The tip end of the shaft 14 of the extruding rod 13 pushes the core chuck 21 against the spring 25 in the cartridge body 20 by back and forward movement of the extruding rod 13. Therefore, a stick-type solid cosmetic 22 held by the core chuck is fed from the tip opening of the cartridge body 20. The extruding rod 13 has applied thereto slide resistance by an elastic ring 39 positioned in the case body 10 and through which this rod extends in friction relationship.

Abstract: A stick-shaped material propelling device is comprised of a first tubular body and a spiral shaft inserted in the first tubular body. The spiral shaft has a spiral groove on the circumference of spiral shaft and an integral guide portion at a rear portion of the spiral shaft.

Abstract: A cosmetic pencil for dispensing a soft cosmetic mass. A lower barrel holds an elongated push rod which has external threads which move outwardly of the lower barrel when it is turned with respect to a hollow sheath. The cosmetic mass is held in the hollow sheath and two flexible arms at the base of the hollow sheath contact the external threads on the push rod. In this way the push rod may be inserted radially between the flexible arms and need not be threaded in from the bottom of the flexible arms.

Abstract: A cosmetic pencil for dispensing a soft cosmetic mass having a push rod with an extended head. The cosmetic pencil has a barrel and a hollow sheath is rotatingly held by the barrel. A threaded push rod is keyed so that it turns with the barrel and the sheath has threads near the base of its inner end and as the sheath and barrel are turned with respect to each other the push rod moves outwardly out of the barrel and pushes the cosmetic mass out of the sheath. The head on the threaded push rod is enlarged and may be inserted downstream of the threaded portion of the sheath by a slot and a half thread which permits the widened portion of the push rod to be snapped in front of the threads so that it does not interfere with the threads. The threaded push rod may also have a separate piston snapped thereon. Also the sheath is provided with one way pawls which snap in and out of the grooves on the inside surface of the barrel indicating that the sheath and barrel are being turned with respect to one another.

Pressing the eraser into the barrel.

Abstract: A low-cost mechanical pencil employing an improved lead-driving mechanism in which there is cooperation between a low-cost, helical spring member through which moves a lead advance-retract member which is keyed to longitudinal grooves in the inner barrel wall. If the lead is subjected to excessive pressure during use, it is caused to partially retract into the tip by virtue of axial compression of the helical spring, thereby reducing the likelihood of lead breakage.
