Bottom-fillable lipstick or the like container

A bottom-fillable lipstick or the like container, comprising inner and outer elongate relatively rotatable tubular members extending between a lower base end and an upper dispensing end, said members having interengaging means retaining an axially overlapping relation of said members, said inner member having a tubular upper end which extends upwardly beyond the upper end of said outer member for manual actuating grasp and which defines the dispensing end of the container, an elongate tubular carrier member slidable within said inner tubular member and having radially outward cam-follower means at its lower end, said carrier member having internal pomade-supporting platform means near its upper end, cam formations including (a) an elongate slot in said inner tubular member and of longitudinal extent such that said carrier fully covers the upper end of said slot when said cam follower is at its lowermost position in said slot and (b) internal threads in said outer tubular member and engaged to said cam follower, said platform means and the base ends of said tubular members being open to an extent permitting removable insertion of a bottom-fill tube, whereby for the retracted position of said carrier member, the volume defined within the upper ends of said carrier member and of said inner tubular member can be bottom-filled with tube-extruded pomade without danger of pomade entry into said slot.
