Abstract: A dispenser for stick type products such as cosmetics and the like which tend to shrink with age includes a novel cup or godet to prevent the stick from moving axially out of the cup. The interior wall of the cup includes a plurality of spaced axially disposed and radially inwardly projecting ribs of dove-tail cross-section. These ribs bite into the stick and function as dove-tail locks to prevent the outer surface of the stick from moving axially and rotationally with respect to the cup, even if stick shrinkage takes place. A screw type dispenser is also described as typical of the types of dispenser with which the cup may be used.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an Improved Mascara Applicator which is used to apply mascara to eyelashes. The Improved Mascara Applicator of the present invention incorporates a unique applicator design which contains a multiplicity of rows of closely spaced and evenly spaced applicator flukes which permits each eyelash to be evenly coated with mascara.
