Abstract: A case for pasty cosmetic, pharmaceutical or like products comprising an outer casing co-operating with a coaxial inner casing in which is axially slidably mounted a cup carrying a lipstick so that the relative rotation of both casings results in an axial displacement of said cup, the inner casing being made fast to a base through the medium of a tube provided in the bottom wall of the base comprising cogging elements joined by ring portions which comprise on their outer faces ribs for co-operation with flutes formed on the inner surface of a skirt provided at the lower part of the inner casing, this device being applicable to the fastening of an inner casing upon a base within a lipstick case.

Abstract: The invention relates to a receptacle such as a perfume or cosmetic bottle, having a screw-threaded cap orientable relative to the receptacle. The receptacle has a screw neck (2) that has two symmetrical external screw threads (3, 4) each provided with an interruption (5) in the vicinity of the beginning of the thread (3, 4) and with a substantially axial abutment (6) in the vicinity of the end of the thread (3, 4). The cap has internally two symmetrical screw threads each comprising a catch (11) provided by one end of the thread and a substantially axial end (12) at the other end of the thread. The catch (11) is engageable in the interruption (5) and the abutment (6) and the thread end (12) are interengageable.
