Abstract: A pomade stick applicator having a swiveling pomade advancing and retracting mechanism has a two-part base-cap container and virtually air-tight sealing features. These include an interfering snap fit between the container base and the longitudinally slotted inner body, and a resiliently deformable annular seal between the lower end of the helical internal cam and the inner body. This annular seal is urged into telescoping deformed sealed engagement by the container cap applied by the user. The interior of the cap seals the upper end of the shell fixed to the cam, and also provides an inner skirt interferingly telescoped with the upper end of the inner body, prevening swiveling. These seals enclose the pomade stick, blocking the escape of volatiles.

Abstract: A pomade dispenser having an air-tight seal is disclosed. The pomade dispenser of the present invention includes a base having a resiliently deformable tapered sealing extension at an end of the base, a cap having an internal reverse taper, and cooperating features for holding the cap to the base. The deformable tapered sealing extension includes an extension sealing surface for contacting a cap sealing surface included on the internal reverse taper of the cap.

Abstract: A metal flexible finger ferrule is provided for holding a dispensing device to the top of a flanged opening of a container. The ferrule includes a plurality of flexible fingers shaped to fit ground the flange of the container and also shaped to frictionally engage a surrounding retaining collar.
