Abstract: A mechanism core includes a cup-shaped member, a driving member, and a sleeve. The cup-shaped member is configured to accommodate rod-shaped material. The sleeve is sleeved on the driving member and is rotatable relative to the driving member, and the cup-shaped member is movable in an axial direction when the sleeve rotates relative to the driving member. An annular flange is formed on a radial inner surface of the sleeve, and the annular flange is configured to contact a radial outer surface of the driving member facing the sleeve, so that the annular flange is slidable relative to the radial outer surface of the driving member during rotation of the sleeve relative to the driving member. The mechanism core reduces a contact area of the sleeve and the driving member is reduced, and a friction force between the sleeve and the driving member during rotation.

Abstract: A disposable cartridge assembly for stick products, intended to be used in conjunction with a rotating base that unlocks the cartridge and raises and lowers the stick product freely, while a holding cup slides in a six-track spiral sleeve of the disposable cartridge. The disposable cartridge has a decorative shell fastened onto the spiral sleeve via an interference fit, for omitting any chemical adhesive. The rotating base is intended to remain connected to the cartridge assembly for the life of the stick product, but may be detached and reused with multiple cartridges, which can be sold individually for the purpose. These designs provide advantages of lower damage rate of transport, better product performance, higher cost efficiency and eco-friend manufacturing and using.
