Abstract
The invention is directed to a topical product dispenser containing an element with a dispensible ingredient, such as a deodorant and/or antiperspirant. Prior dispensers use a screw feed with a number of parts, and the element is usually shaped with a flat surface. The improved dispenser uses fewer parts and provides an element shaped for use in an armpit. The dispenser includes a hollow, shallow circular first cylinder (16) forming a cavity for receiving a rotatable dispensible element (34) and a detachable lid for exposing the surface of the element. The solid element in the form of a second cylinder (34) is rotatably disposed in the first cylinder (16). A manually rotatable member (22) disposed in an opening in an end surface of the first cylinder (16) has an extension which penetrates and engages the second cylinder (34). The extension can contain prongs engaging opposed holes in the body of the first cylinder (16) for selective rotation of the second cylinder (34).
