Abstract
A cosmetic dispenser with an inner body rotatably engaged with a spiral member. An elevator cup retains a cosmetic pomade, and the spiral member has spiral formations along an inner surface thereof for engaging lugs of the elevator cup that pass through longitudinal tracks in the inner body. The inner body can have lateral and longitudinal bearing surfaces with the lateral bearing surface aligned longitudinally with a longitudinal axis of relative rotation of the spiral member and the inner body and the longitudinal bearing surface orthogonal thereto. Fingers can project inwardly from the inner body to be in slidable, frictional contact with both the longitudinal and lateral bearing surfaces so that the fingers are restrained laterally and longitudinally. The fingers can be inwardly angled establish an effective circumference with the fingers tangent thereto smaller than the circumference of the lateral bearing surface.
