Reusable dispenser and cartridge

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

• a housing defining a longitudinal axis;
• a base rotatably coupled to a proximal portion of the housing and configured to rotate about the longitudinal axis in a first direction and a second direction;
• and
• a telescope assembly including a proximal section and a distal section movable relative to the proximal section along the longitudinal axis defined by the housing between a collapsed condition and an extended condition, at least one of the proximal section or the distal section operably coupled to the base such that rotation of the base about the longitudinal axis causes corresponding rotation of the telescope assembly about the longitudinal axis, wherein:
• rotation of at least one of the proximal section or the distal section of the telescope assembly about the longitudinal axis causes the distal section to move relative to the proximal section along the longitudinal axis;
• and
• rotation of at least one of the proximal section of the distal section of the telescope assembly about the longitudinal axis causes the distal section to move relative to the proximal section along the longitudinal axis and rotate about the longitudinal axis.

• and
• a resilient member disposed between the base and the telescope assembly and configured to bias the telescope assembly to the extended condition.
