Abstract
A cosmetic pencil for dispensing a soft cosmetic mass. The pencil has a hollow barrel in which a threaded push rod is held. A hollow sheath is filled with a cosmetic mass and threads are provided between the sheath and the push rod so that when the push rod is turned with respect to the sheath the sheath descends into the barrel and the cosmetic mass is exposed by the descending sheath. The relative turning may be either provided by turning the sheath while holding the barrel or turning an actuator at the base of the barrel while holding the barrel. Elongated notches are formed on the inner surface of the barrel and one or more pawls move in and out of the notches and permit the pencil and sheath to be turned in only one direction.
