Abstract
A double cup pomade assembly is set forth for improving pomade retention that is adaptable for use with both bottom filling and top filling machinery. A pomade retention cup having at least one pomade retention finger and a snap-fit geometry for anchoring it within an elevator cup. The elevator cup is provided with lugs for interaction with convention extend and retract mechanism. One embodiment of the pomade retention cup is symmetrical eliminating improper insertion into a mold. Another embodiment of the pomade retention cup includes a flange at one end for preventing formula leakage during molding and providing an enlarged surface area to offset the forces generated when the elevator cup is pressed around the pomade retention cup.
