ABSTRACT:
A swivel-up type dispensing package is disclosed. The package includes a product chamber with an elevator therein to move the product axially. A feed screw and nut are associated with the elevator and relative rotary motion between the feed screw and nut serve to move the elevator axially. The package also includes a button adapted to be depressed by the user in a direction which is generally transverse to the axis of body of the dispensing package. The transverse movement of the button is converted to rotary input to either the feed screw or nut to cause one to rotate relative the other and thereby move the elevator. In the described embodiment the button has an integral pawl which during the transverse movement engages ratchet teeth affixed to a wheel mounted perpendicularly to the axis of the body, causing the wheel to rotate through an arc subtended by driven teeth. The wheel rotates relative to a non-rotatable feed screw threaded through the bore of the wheel, causing the feed screw to advance in an axial direction. Affixed to the top of the feed screw is an elevator which is congruent to a chamber holding the product. By axially moving the elevator into the charge of product, it is moved to the applicating position of the dispensing package. The dispensing package is well suited to contain and dispense cream or solid stick deodorants and antiperspirants.
