A package is disclosed for a stick antiperspirant and/or deodorant product with the package comprising an imperforate elevator platform for carrying the product and slidably disposed within the bore of a tubular sleeve, a handwheel rotatably carried at one end of the sleeve or body and having an elevating screw fixed thereon for rotation with the handwheel and cooperating with a threaded stem depending from the elevating platform. The upper portion of the sleeve bore has lengthwise extending chordal flats provided thereon, the intermediate portion of the bore is a smooth, generally cylindrical sealing surface and its lower portion is unobstructed. The platform has a depending peripheral skirt the upper part of which has lugs to coact with the chordal flats to prevent relative rotation of the platform and sleeve and the lower port of which is adapted to form a seal with the intermediate portion of the sleeve bore when the platform is in its lowermost position.

Package for antiperspirant/deodorant

A collapsible co-dispensing tubular container for separately storing and co-dispensing two extrusible product components of substantially equal viscosity with substantially constant proportionation. The container may comprise a collapsible tubular body, a head fitment having two discharge ports which fitment is sealingly secured in one end of the collapsible body, and a longitudinally extending interior bulkhead disposed to partition the interior of the container into two compartments, one of which compartments is in fluid communication with one of the discharge ports, and the other of the compartments being in fluid communication with the other of the discharge ports. The improvement comprises a pressure responsive moveable septum disposed adjacent the head end of the container and which septum is in fluid communication with both of the compartments in the container. The pressure responsive moveable septum precipitates equalization of the pressures on the separately stored product components upon squeezing or otherwise collapsing the container which pressure equalization effects substantially constant proportionation of the product components as they are co-dispensed from the container.

Collapsible co-dispensing tubular container

A powder dispenser for gently issuing puffs of relatively low velocity air-entrained powdered material through a discharge port. The dispenser has means for substantially fluidizing a bed of powdered material contained therein with an upward pulse of relatively low velocity, substantially columnar air flow so that some of the powder in the bed of powdered material becomes entrained in and issued from the dispenser by relatively low velocity air. The dispenser may include a foraminous bulkhead which defines the bottom of a powder accommodating chamber, a plenum chamber subjacent the foraminous bulkhead, and means for pumping a volume of air into the plenum chamber so that a pulse of relatively low velocity air flows upward through the foramina of the bulkhead and the bed of powdered material disposed thereon.
