Reusable dispenser and cartridge

A reusable product dispenser for use with a deodorant refill cartridge, the reusable product dispenser comprising:

• a cylindrical housing defining a longitudinal axis and including a stop member;
• a base rotatably coupled to a proximal portion of the cylindrical housing, the base defining a slot and a spring holster and configured to rotate about the longitudinal axis in a first direction and a second direction;
• a telescope operably coupled to the base such that rotation of the base about the longitudinal axis causes corresponding rotation of the telescope about the longitudinal axis, the telescope including a flange disposed on a proximal portion of the telescope configured to prevent distal movement of the telescope when the flange engages the stop member of the cylindrical housing and a rib protruding from an inner wall of the telescope configured to slide along the slot of the base;
• and
• a spring having a proximal portion operably coupled to the spring holster of the base and a distal portion operably coupled to the telescope, the spring biased to distally advance the telescope along the longitudinal axis.

A deodorant refill cartridge for use with a reusable product dispenser, the deodorant refill cartridge comprising:

• a refill barrel defining a longitudinal axis and a cylindrical opening configured to retain a deodorant product therein, the refill barrel including a threaded inner wall and a latching mechanism for releasably coupling the refill barrel to a reusable product dispenser;
• a refill plunger disposed within the cylindrical opening of the refill barrel and including a threaded outer wall configured to mate with the threaded inner wall of the refill barrel, wherein rotation of the refill plunger about the longitudinal axis causes longitudinal translation of the refill plunger along the longitudinal axis;
• and
• a cap operably coupled to a distal portion of the refill barrel.
