ABSTRACT:
A tube container for dispensing solid crystal deodorant including a cylindrical tube for housing the solid crystal deodorant having an open end and a closed end. The closed end has an aperture for rotatably securing a threaded sleeve which is rigidly connected to a rotatable cylindrical base. A platform member for supporting and vertically displacing the crystal deodorant is contained in the cylindrical tube. The platform member is comprised of a disk and a threaded stem which extends downward from the disk portion of the platform member. The platform member also has a frictional projection extending upward from the disk which fits tightly into a hole in the bottom of the crystal deodorant. The cylindrical tube has an elongated slot disposed on its inside surface which engages with a notch disposed on the periphery of the disk of the platform member to prevent rotatational movement of the platform member. The cylindrical tube is closed at its open end by a cap. Vertical upward displacement of the crystal deodorant within the cylindrical tube is accomplished by rotating the cylindrical base clockwise relative to the cylindrical tube. This causes the threaded sleeve to rotate around the threaded stem of the platform member in the same clockwise direction which in turn causes the platform member to move upward. Vertical downward displacement of the crystal deodorant is accomplished by rotating the base in the counterclockwise direction.
