Abstract

A dispensing package for a consumer care product is provided having a product chamber with an inner surface, a major axis and a minor axis. The dispensing package has a movable elevator platform having a coupling sleeve with a non-threaded section and a threaded section along an inner surface. The dispensing package also has a screw assembly with a spindle that supports threads; a seal extending around the circumference of the spindle; a threaded first portion coupled to the threaded section along the inner surface of the moveable elevator platform; and a non-threaded second portion. The seal frictionally engages with the non-threaded section of the coupling sleeve and the movable elevator platform advances along an axis from a first fill volume position to a second fill volume position.
