摘要:
A dispenser for selectively extending and retracting a substantially stick-shaped object, comprising a substantially cylindrical body (1), a sleeve member (2) received in the cylindrical body (1) and having a closed end, the cylindrical body (1) and the sleeve member (2) being rotatable relative to each other, an axially movable member (4) inserted in the sleeve member (2), the movable member (4) including a substantially rod-like body (40) having first and second ends, and a receiver member mounted on the first end of the rod-like body (40), the rod-like body (40) having a first threaded portion formed around a periphery thereof, the rod-like body (40) extending through the closed end of the sleeve member to project into the cylindrical body (1); and a thread member (3) fixed in the cylindrical body (1), the thread member (3) having a second threaded portion, the second threaded portion of the thread member (3) being engaged with the first threaded portion of the movable member (4), so that when one of the cylindrical body (1) and the sleeve member (2) is rotated relative to the other of the cylindrical body (1) and the sleeve member (2), the movable member (4) is axially moved, to thereby selectively extend and retract the stick-shaped object having been supported by the receiver member (62), according to a rotational direction of the cylindrical body or the sleeve member.
