Abstract

A rotary advancing container includes: a cylindrical front barrel; a cylindrical rear barrel arranged in a rear of the front barrel so as to be rotatable relative to the front barrel; a holding member inserted inside the front barrel or the rear barrel to support a stick-like member; and a threaded rod that is screwed into an interior part of the rear barrel. The stick-like member having a non-circular shape is moved in an axial direction relative to the front barrel by rotating the front barrel relative to the rear barrel, a front end of the threaded rod is formed in approximately the same shape with the rod-like member, and, a rear side portion of the threaded rod has a non-circular shape and is formed with a thread.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A rotary advancing container comprising:
a cylindrical front barrel;
a cylindrical rear barrel arranged in a rear of the front barrel so as to be rotatable relative to the front barrel;
a holding member inserted inside the front barrel or the rear barrel to support a stick-shaped member; and,
a threaded rod that is screwed into an interior part of the rear barrel, wherein
the stick-shaped member having a non-circular shape is moved in an axial direction relative to the front barrel by rotating the front barrel relative to the rear barrel,
a front end of the threaded rod is formed in approximately the same shape with the stick-shaped member,
a rear side portion of the threaded rod has a non-circular shape and is formed with a thread,
the holding member is configured to move the stick-shaped member forward when the threaded rod is actuated forward, and,
the threaded rod is formed with a lightening hole in an interior of the rear end while the height of a rear part of the thread is lower than the height of a front part of the thread.

2. The rotary advancing container according to claim 1 , wherein the thread of the threaded rod has an approximately circular section with a flat part formed thereon.

3. The rotary advancing container according to claim 1 , wherein the front barrel has a core loading part of an interior space, into which the stick-shaped member is loaded while an opening at a front end of the core loading part is formed so as to have a greater cross-section than that at a rear end of the core loading part.

4. The rotary advancing container according to claim 1 , wherein the front barrel has a core loading part of an interior space, into which the stick-shaped member is loaded and a material is loaded into the core loading part to form the stick-shaped member in a state where the threaded rod and the holding member are retracted rearwards.

5. The rotary advancing container according to claim 1 , wherein the holding member is configured to seal against an inner surface formed by the front barrel.

6. The rotary advancing container according to claim 1 , wherein the threaded rod is configured to urge the holding member only in the forward direction, such that when the threaded rod is actuated rearward the threaded rod does not urge the holding member rearward.

7. The rotary advancing container according to claim 1 , wherein the lightening hole is configured to allow the rear end of the threaded rod to flex inward, when the threaded rod is at its limit of advancement, such that the cylindrical rear barrel rotates idly relative to the threaded rod.
