Abstract: A dispenser for a product including a handle, and a slider disposed inside the handle. A cartridge receives product and a carrier is adapted to retain the product. A carrier pusher connects with the carrier. An actuator connects between the slider and the carrier pusher and is configured to advance the carrier pusher, the carrier, and the product. The actuator includes a pusher fork that extends from the slider to the carrier pusher. The pusher fork has a first set of teeth that are connected to a second set of teeth provided on the carrier pusher.

Abstract: A dispenser is disclosed for a solid or semi-solid product that includes an outer shell and a slider disposed inside the outer shell. The dispenser also includes an inner shell defining an opening and a carrier adapted to retain the product in the inner shell. The carrier includes carrier teeth that are engaged by an actuator connected between the slider and the carrier for advancing the carrier and the product. The actuator includes at least two drive arms that extend through the inner shell and into the carrier. The drive arms include drive teeth that are adapted to engage the carrier teeth. The carrier and product are replaceable, and the outer shell, the inner shell, and the actuator may be reused.
