Abstract:
A process for producing a stick-like implement, comprising:providing a first sleeve (10);providing a second sleeve (12) having an insertion section (14);inserting the insertion section into the first sleeve (10) such that the two sleeves (10, 12) rotate with respect to one another;providing an externally threaded element (16, 18);coupling the externally threaded element to the second sleeve (12) in a rotationally fixed but axially displaceable manner wherein the externally threaded element meshes with an internally threaded element (24, 28) which is unitary with the second sleeve (12) in a rotationally fixed manner, such that subsequent rotation of the two sleeves (10, 12) with respect to one another results in axial displacement of the externally threaded element (16, 18) in relation to the sleeves (10, 12);providing a filler element (22) which, upon axial displacement of the externally threaded element (16, 18) resulting from rotation of the two sleeves (10, 12) with respect to one another, is pushed out of an opening (42) in the second sleeve (12), wherein the second sleeve (12) and the internally threaded element (24, 28) are inserted into the first sleeve (10) as parts which are connected to one another, the connection of the second sleeve (12) to the internally threaded element (24, 28) being such that it is released when the sleeves (10, 12) are rotated with respect to one another; androtating the second sleeve relative to the externally threaded member whereby the internally threaded member is separated from the second sleeve for pushing the filler element out of the opening.
