A REFILL CARTRIDGE FOR A STICK WHICH APPLIES PRODUCT BY RUBBING ONTO A SURFACE AND A METHOD FOR FILLING THE CARTRIDGE

摘要

The invention seeks to simplify the production and filling of a refill cartridge for a stick which applies product by rubbing onto a surface, comprising a tube-like element, which is designed to be tightly closed at both ends and of which one end is designed to fit tightly onto a tube element of the stick; a longitudinally displaceable plunger with a screwthreaded bore - into which a screwthreaded spindle of the adhesive stick projecting from the tube element is designed to be screwed - being non-rotat-ably guided in the tube-like element; and the tube-like element being filled with a product which bears against the plunger at one end and, in an extension of the screwthreaded bore, is formed throughout with a bore in which the screwthreaded spindle engages when the refill cartridge is fitted onto the stick This is achieved by the fact that the tube-like element (10) is releasably closed at its free end by a sealingly fitted cap-like closure element (17), the caplike closure element (17) being internally formed with a pin-like projection (18) which fills the bore (16) extending throughout the product (15).
