A double cup pomade assembly for improving pomade retention is adaptable for use with both bottom filling and Lop filling machinery. A pomade retention cup having at least one pomade retention finger has a snap-fit geometry for anchoring it within an elevator cup. The elevator cup is provided with lugs for interaction with conventional extend-and-retract mechanism. One embodiment of the pomade retention cup is symmetrical, avoiding "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 into engagement with the pomade retention cup.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A pomade cup assembly for use with a pomade dispenser, said pomade cup assembly comprising:a pomade retention cup with a longitudinal axis, said pomade retention cup being tubular in shape, with an upper distal end and a lower proximal end of lesser diameter, having a downward facing exterior shoulder separating said ends located adjacent to said distal end, and having an upwardly and outwardly slanting exterior ramp projecting from said proximal end terminated by an upwardly facing ramp shoulder, and retention finger means extended within said pomade retention cup substantially preventing pomade molded therein from moving relative to the pomade retention cup;a tubular pomade elevator cup having a proximal lower end dimensioned for telescoping insertion of said pomade retention cup therein with clearances for said exterior ramp projecting therefrom, said proximal lower end of said elevator cup having an inwardly and downwardly slanting interior ramp projection terminated by a downwardly facing ramp shoulder adjacent to said proximal lower end, and having an upwardly facing interior ledge positioned between its proximal lower end and an overlying larger distal upper end of said elevator cup;said elevator cup being resiliently deformable permitting sliding telescoping insertion of said retention cup within said elevator cup, with resilient deformation of said ramp projections sliding on each other, said two ramp shoulders being positioned longitudinally in their respective cups at substantially the same height above their cups' proximal ends, and having their maximum radial widths selected for interfering snap fit engagement after said ramp projections slide past each other and this engagement brings the pomade retention cup's downwardly facing exterior shoulder into engagement with the upwardly facing interior ledge of the elevator cup;said pomade elevator cup having a lug for conventional pomade advance and retraction within said pomade dispenser, whereby said pomade retention cup may be used with top filling pomade machinery as well as with bottom filling pomade machinery.
