Abstract: A double cup pomade assembly for improving pomade retention is adaptable for use with both bottom filling and Lop filling machinery. A pomade retention cup having at least one pomade retention finger has a snap-fit geometry for anchoring it within an elevator cup. The elevator cup is provided with lugs for interaction with conventional extend-and-retract mechanism. One embodiment of the pomade retention cup is symmetrical, avoiding “improper” insertion into a mold. Another embodiment of the pomade retention cup includes a flange at one end for preventing formula leakage during molding and providing an enlarged surface area to offset the forces generated when the elevator cup is pressed into engagement with the pomade retention cup.

Abstract: A double cup pomade assembly is set forth for improving pomade retention that is adaptable for use with both bottom filling and top filling machinery. A pomade retention cup having at least one pomade retention finger and a snap-fit geometry for anchoring it within an elevator cup. The elevator cup is provided with lugs for interaction with convention extend and retract mechanism. One embodiment of the pomade retention cup is symmetrical eliminating improper insertion into a mold. Another embodiment of the pomade retention cup includes a flange at one end for preventing formula leakage during molding and providing an enlarged surface area to offset the forces generated when the elevator cup is pressed around the pomade retention cup.

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.

Abstract: An easily assembled, low cost, disposable pump is disclosed for use with household liquid product containers. The pump is designed to prevent leakage of the product regardless of container attitude and comprises hollow outer and inner cylinders, each having an end wall, the cylinders being nested in telescoped manner with their end walls in spaced adjacency to form an intake valve chamber and a superimposed product receiving and discharging pump chamber. Liquid inlet duct means is formed in the respective end walls of each cylinder for admission of fluid, and a plunger assembly including a hollow stem and a piston is slidably received in the inner cylinder for reciprocable pumping action therein. The hollow stem provides communication between the pumping face of the piston and atmosphere, via a check valve disposed in the stem. A second check valve is disposed in the valving chamber formed by the telescoped cylinders.
