Abstract
An elevator cup for retaining a cosmetic pomade in relation to a cosmetic dispenser. An annular peripheral wall defines an inner volume for longitudinally receiving and retaining the cosmetic pomade, and a plurality of fins that project radially inward from the peripheral wall. The fins can be disposed in clusters comprising at least two fins angularly spaced by approximately forty degrees or less to establish a dovetail configuration. Clusters can have three fins, potentially with a center fin of a reduced radial dimension compared to outer fins. The clusters can be evenly spaced around the annular peripheral wall.
