(57) A stick holder device for holding a stick of solid consumable material, such as cosmetics
material, e.g. lipstick.
To protect the stick held in a conventional device during placement and removal of
a cap, it is known to provide an axially movable cap in which the stick is seated
and a mechanism for retracting the stick into a base tube. However, such arrangements
are complex and somewhat unstable mechanically.
In the device of the invention a cover sleeve is axially movable relative to a handle
in which the stick will be fixedly held selectively to conceal or expose the stick.
The sleeve is itself manually engageable and can be manipulated as required for said
axial movement. The construction is simple and effective and provides firm and stable
mounting of the stick.
