<p>An elevator/threaded shaft dispensing package (1) for a solid stick-form product (51) and a refill cartridge (50) therefor. The package has a refill cartridge designed to telescope into a reusable base (10). The base is tubular and has a threaded shaft (15) axially oriented therein through a central aperture (14) at its bottom (13) where it is connected to a hand wheel (16). The cartridge holds the product in its tubular body (52) which preferably has a non-circular cross section. A push plate (60) is disposed in the bottom of the cartridge and the top of the cartridge preferably has a downwardly extending annular collar (70) on its exterior. The package has a telescoping elevator system (30) disposed therein comprising a platform (32) which abuts against the push plate and an internally threaded neck (31) below said platform. The internally threaded neck receives the threaded shaft in threaded telescoping relation. When the hand wheel is turned in a predetermined direction the elevator system advances towards the top, pushing the product in the cartridge up and out of the package so the consumer can have access. The package is provided with a means to reset the elevator to its lowermost position when it is in its uppermost position without manually rotating the hand wheel. The cartridge can be provided with a means to seal its top and bottom so it can be sold as a separate unit.</p> |
