Abstract: A rod-shaped content draw-out container includes a draw-out mechanism of a multi-stage joint structure including a shell cylinder, a relay cylinder provided inside a rotation operating cylinder rotatably coupled to a rear end of the shell cylinder. The relay cylinder is inhibited from rotating relative to the rotation operating cylinder but is allowed to advance and retreat axially. A push-out rod member is screwed to the relay cylinder by reversely threaded screws and is inhibited from rotating relative to the shell cylinder but allowed to advance and retreat axially. To prevent the rotation operating cylinder from improvidently rotating and to allow a user to easily recognize limits of operation, first stoppers formed on the relay cylinder and the push-out rod member engage each other at a positional change from a position just before the draw-in end to the draw-in end.

Abstract: A cartridge type feeding container has a rod-like cosmetic material in which the rod-like cosmetic material is neither damaged nor pulled apart even if a buffering external shock is applied to the container and the cartridge is not pulled apart from the container body or any load is applied in a direction in which the core chucks and the feeding mechanism and dismounted apart from each other even if a torque is further applied to exceed a maximum fed condition. These advantages are the result of an internal member made of flexible material and provided on a part of an inner circumferential surface thereof with a cutaway formed by combining a slit cut in a circumferential direction. The internal member and the container body form a container cover portion such that a shock, applied from the outside of the container cover portion, is buffered in the cutaway in the internal member and is prevented from being transmitted to the cartridge.

The sleeve has either two or else three equispaced longitudinal slots and the elevator cup has two or else three equispaced lugs passing through and projecting from the slots of the sleeve. The operating shell has two or else three internal spiral tracks respectively engaged by the lugs of the cup to propel the latter in response to relative turning between the shell and sleeve. The arrangement is such that the cup is advanced and retracted by balanced forces applied at uniformly spaced circumferential locations about the cup. The cup has resilient fingers that are forced inward by the sleeve, forming a collet which firmly holds the lipstick pomade. The sleeve has a lateral spur track which holds the cup captive in the sleeve.

Abstract: A writing instrument includes a tubular body, a guide sleeve, an outer sleeve, and a holder.

Abstract: The cosmetic container has parts that are interchangeable so that the barrel can be used to contain different fill weights. Different fill weights are used at different times such as during promotions to give about 10 to 25 percent more product. By the selection of different effective length of projections on the lower surface of the cosmetic holder and/or projections and the upper surface of the base portion of the container the distance of the cosmetic holder above the base portion at full retraction can be set to different levels. The effective length is the length that a projection maintains the base portion and cosmetic holder apart. Since the space between the cosmetic holder and the top of the barrel will be filled with product for all product amounts the cosmetic holder setting above the base portion will determine the fill amount. In the technique fewer parts need to be stocked for the differing fill levels.

Abstract: A cosmetic container having a coil-spring shaped holding portion, which is provided at the front end of a push rod, for holding a stick type cosmetic material. The rear end of a stick type cosmetic material is inserted into the center hollow-portion of the coil-spring holding portion. Ribs are optionally provided on the inner surface of the coil-spring holding portion for biting into a stick type cosmetic material to more securely hold the stick type cosmetic material. Even without these ribs, the spring-type holding portion holds a stick type cosmetic material elastically tight by making the inner diameter of the coil-spring smaller, because the coil-spring shaped holding portion holds a stick type cosmetic material elastically. If pressure is applied to a held stick type cosmetic material from the side, the coil-spring shaped holding portion bends and prevents damage to the held stick type cosmetic material.

Abstract: A lipstick swivel mechanism includes a cup having a cup body for holding a lipstick bullet; a nosepiece for containing the cup and guiding the movement of the cup; a spiral rotatably connected to the nosepiece, having helical guiding grooves formed on the inner surface thereof; and a screw received within the spiral and detachably connected to the cup. The screw has double helical protrusions, formed on the outer surface of the screw. The double helical protrusions are received in and guided by the helical guiding grooves inside the spiral so as to make the screw and the cup move upward or downward when the spiral is rotated. The problem of idling rotation of screw may be solved.

Abstract: The dispenser for lip-salve or similar ointment includes a tube, an elevator axially movable within the tube for expelling the ointment, and a screw rotatable within the cylinder and interacting with the elevator for moving the elevator within the tube. The internal threads on the elevator interact with the external threads on the screw when the screw is rotated.
