Package with applicator for dispensing liquid or viscous products

A package for dispensing a liquid or viscous product, said package comprising:

• a tubular main body having an axial opening at its upper end;
• a seal disposed within said main body that divides an upper portion of the main body from a lower portion of the main body,
• an axial aperture formed in the seal and providing communication between the upper and lower portions of the main body;
• an applicator positioned within said main body, with a portion of the applicator extending axially through said aperture;
• a tubular shell connected to said main body and mounted for rotation relative thereto, said tubular shell including an outer portion disposed externally of the main body and adapted to be grasped and rotated and an inner portion disposed internally of the main body, wherein said inner portion cooperates with the applicator for moving the applicator axially between a retracted and an extended position in response to rotation of the shell with respect to the main body.

• a tubular shell connected to said main body and mounted for rotation relative thereto, said tubular shell including an outer portion disposed externally of the main body and adapted to be grasped and rotated, an inner portion disposed internally of the main body, and a threaded component also disposed internally of the main body and fixedly connected to the inner portion, and
• an applicator mounted for axial movement within the main body between a retracted position and an extended position, the applicator having an applicator tip that is positioned within the reservoir when the applicator is in the retracted position and projects from said opening for application of the product when the applicator is in the extended position,
• wherein the threaded component of the tubular shell cooperates with the applicator for moving the applicator axially between the retracted and extended positions in response to rotation of the shell with respect to the main body.
