Claim:
1. A packaging container for elongated objects, said packaging container comprising: an outer sleeve that defines an inner surface, said outer sleeve including at least one threaded section on the inner surface, said threaded section having an inlet end and an outlet end, said threaded section having at least one thread having a pitch such that said thread is oriented obliquely to the longitudinal axis of said outer sleeve, said threaded section further including at least one horizontal annular groove on the inner surface of said outer sleeve and that is oriented in the circumferential direction, said horizontal annular groove being disposed at least one of said inlet end and said outlet end of the threaded section; an inner sleeve that defines an outer surface, said inner sleeve being positioned inside said outer sleeve such that at least a portion of the outer surface of said inner sleeve opposes at least a portion of the inner surface of said outer sleeve, the outer surface of said inner sleeve having at least one threaded strip that includes teeth having a pitch such that said teeth are oriented obliquely to the longitudinal axis of said inner sleeve, the pitch of the teeth of said inner sleeve corresponding to the pitch of the threads of said threaded section, such that when said threaded strip is brought into threaded engagement with said at least one threaded section, said inner sleeve is continuously displaceable along the longitudinal axis of said packaging container with respect to said outer sleeve by rotation of said outer sleeve with respect to said inner sleeve; and at least one sliding strip that interrupts at least one threaded section on the inside surface of the outer sleeve to define a breach in the threaded section, said sliding strip being longitudinally oriented in the longitudinal dimension of said packaging container, said sliding strip having a width that is greater than the width of the threaded strip on the inner sleeve, each of said horizontal annular grooves being interrupted in the region of the sliding strip and cooperating with a thread of said threaded section to define a turn brake that locks movement of said outer sleeve with respect to said inner sleeve.
