Dispenser container for rod-like cosmetic

Abstract

A dispenser container for a rod-like cosmetic (1) comprises a cartridge body (A) accommodating the rod-like cosmetic (1) and including a holder cylinder (2) having a peripheral wall provided with engaging projections (3), and an inner body cylinder (4) in which the holder cylinder (2) is vertically movably arranged. The inner body cylinder (4) has a peripheral wall provided with guide slits (5) through which the engaging projections (3) extend, for guiding the holder cylinder (2) while preventing rotation relative to each other. The cartridge body (A) is inserted into a container main body (B) which includes a main body cylinder (14) and a sleeve (13) accommodated within the main body cylinder (14) so as to be rotatable and vertically movable within a predetermined range. The sleeve (13) has helical knurls (24) on its inner wall, which are engageable with the engaging projections (3) of the holder cylinder (2), and is arranged so that the upper end portion of the inner body cylinder (4) can be brought into abutment with the periphery of an opening (23) for the rod-like cosmetic (1) or with a stepped portion (40) on the inner wall in the upper portion of the sleeve (13). When the cartridge body (A) has been inserted into the container main body (B) and the base region (9) of the inner body cylinder (4) of the cartridge body (A) is detachably engaged within the main body cylinder (14) of the container main body (B), the sleeve (13) is pushed upwards to its upper limit position and retained in place so that the sleeve is rotatable but prevented from vertical movement.
