Abstract: A lipstick swivel mechanism has a brake function, by which push back of the lipstick when the lipstick is being pressed is effectively hindered. An additional protrusion and a corresponding beveled helical groove are provided on the inner body and the spiral of the dispenser. When the reaction force of applying the lipstick to the consumer's lips pushes the lipstick cup down the dispenser, this reaction force is transmitted to the protrusion and the beveled helical groove so as to increase the frictional force, which impedes the relative rotation of inner body and spiral, between them; thereby push back of the lipstick cup is obstructed. Besides, the beveled helical groove is specially designed so as to make such brake function effective across the entire travel of the lipstick cup.

Abstract: A cosmetic container for a cosmetic, such as lipstick, which permits the cosmetic to be extended and retracted for application and which permits a low swivel torque, which operates smoothly, and which substantially minimizes or prevents "push-back". The container includes a uniquely configured lug which cooperates with a helical channel of a tubular sleeve to prevent push-back which is defined as unwanted movement of the lipstick within the container caused by downward axial force which results when the lipstick is applied. According to one embodiment, the lug includes an end surface portion having a compound surface wherein one portion thereof is parallel to the longitudinal axis and another portion thereof is positioned at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis. The compound surface also includes a line of intersection defining the portions which is, itself, angularly positioned relative to a plane normal to the longitudinal axis.

End 6 of core casing (3) or (3a) can be withdrawn by reverse operation of the operating end (4a). A revolution-to-linear movement conversion arrangement for converting a revolutional movement of an operating end (4a) to a axial movement between a core casing (3) or (3a) and an outer sleeve (2) is provided. A retracting spring (5) between the outer sleeve (2) and the core casing (3) or (3a) and the operating end (4a) projecting out of a rear end of the outer sleeve (2) can be forcibly operated against the force of a retracting spring (5).

Abstract: A writing implement having a body formed by a pair of leaves each having a longitudinally extending bore therein, with the bores in the two leaves coaxial and the two leaves interengaged in the manner of a hinge, and a writing member, such as a pencil lead or ball-point pen with an ink reservoir, extending through the coaxial bores in the two members, the two leaves being relatively pivotable about the axis of the coaxial bores therein between a storage configuration in which the leaves lie substantially in the same plane and a writing configuration in which the planes of the two leaves are at an acute angle to one another. The writing member is preferably secured to an axially movable plunger in the coaxial bores, which plunger has grooves co-operating with projections from the leaves such that a writing tip of the writing member is caused to project from one end of the leaves upon movement of the leaves from the storage to the writing configuration.

Abstract: An improved, jam-resistant, relatively low cost pencil mechanism is provided which includes an annular resilient member disposed about the nose bushing of the mechanism for securely locking the bushing and lead guide connected thereto in place within the pencil barrel, while at the same time allowing the pencil tip and lead guide to be threadably interconnected without creating open thread discontinuities along the length of the lead path. The resilient member serves to take up any dimensional irregularities in the pencil mechanism components and allow full threaded interlocking of the pencil tip and lead guide so that no exposed threads are present along the lead path, which can cause jamming of the mechanism if the pencil lead becomes broken within the guide. In preferred forms, the resilient member is of annular, tapered configuration permitting telescopic positioning thereof within the pencil barrel without disruption or axial roll-up of the member.
