Description

Cosmetic container

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a cosmetic container capable of preventing a content from scattering during an opening process.

Background

Although there are various types of cosmetics, there are liquid (liquid) and solid (solid) and paste (cream) or gel (gel) types corresponding to intermediate forms of liquid and solid, as distinguished by their physical appearance. In addition, solid cosmetics may generally have a powder or stick shape. Since the powdered cosmetic contents are compressed to be produced and stored, a manner in which a user takes the contents with an application tool such as a puff (puff) is adopted.

Korean authorized utility model No. 0480113 discloses a cosmetic container containing powder as its content. In the cosmetic container disclosed in the above-mentioned prior art, when the container lid corresponding to the outer cover is opened, the lid capable of accommodating the puff is exposed. The cover is used to cover an upper portion of a content container containing content such as powder, and is rotatably coupled to the content container by a hinge. In addition, the user can use the powder puff by opening the lid by holding the powder puff and taking out the exposed contents.

The conventional cosmetic container as described above has a problem of unsanitary conditions due to scattering of powder corresponding to the content during the process of opening the cap. That is, the content container requires a sealing force due to the characteristics of the container for storing the powder, and therefore, the lid pulls the powder to the outside in the process of opening the lid, thereby causing a powder scattering phenomenon. This scattering of the powder contaminates the content container, and further causes a problem of contaminating the content.

Fig. 1 is a sectional view illustrating a cosmetic container 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2 is a sectional view illustrating a state in which an outer container 110 in fig. 1 is removed. Fig. 3 is a sectional view illustrating a state where the upper inner container 180 is separated from the lower inner container 190 in fig. 2, and fig. 4 is a sectional view illustrating an exploded state of the lid 142 and the upper inner container 180 in fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a sectional view illustrating an exploded state of the cover 140 and the sealing member 154.

Referring to fig. 1 to 5, a cosmetic container 100 of a first embodiment of the present invention includes an outer container 110 forming an outer body, and an inner container 140 received inside the outer container 110 and containing contents. In addition, the inner container 140 can be separately coupled to the inside of the outer container 110 and can be replaced.

The outer container 110 is comprised of an upper outer container 112 and a lower outer container 116. The upper outer container 112 and the lower outer container 116 may have cross-sectional shapes of various shapes such as a polygon of a circle, an ellipse, or a quadrangle. Further, the upper outer container 112 and the lower outer container 116 are rotatably coupled to each other by a hinge 114. Further, when the upper outer container 112 is opened, the puff 202 is exposed.

A mirror 113 is coupled to the inner surface of the upper outer container 112.

The lower outer container 116 is open at the upper portion and has an open region 118 of a predetermined diameter or size formed at the lower portion. The lower surface of the lower inner container 190 is exposed to the outside through the open region 118, and the user can separate the inner container 140 from the lower outer container 116 by pressing the exposed lower surface of the lower inner container 190 upward.

The lower outer container 116 has a circumferential surface 120 having a predetermined height. In addition, the seating projection 136 of the shoulder 128 is locked to the upper end portion of the circumferential surface 120.

The shoulder 128 joins inside the lower outer container 116 and can separately join the inner container 140 inside it. The shoulder 128 has a lower circumferential surface 130 and an upper circumferential surface 134 that are separated by a seating boss 132. Additionally, the upper circumferential surface 134 has a larger diameter than the lower circumferential surface 130. In addition, the coupling protrusion 194 of the lower inner container 190 is seated on the seating boss 132. In addition, a support circumferential surface 138 is formed outside the upper circumferential surface 134. The support circumferential surface 138 abuts against the inner circumferential surface of the lower inner container 190 so that the shoulder 128 can be firmly bonded to the lower inner container 190.

The inner container 140 corresponds to a container that is coupled to the inside of the outer container 110 and stores the contents. The inner container 140 is composed of an upper inner container 180, a lower inner container 190, a lid 142, and a sealing member 154.

The contents such as powder are stored in the lower inner container 190, and the upper inner container 180 is coupled to the upper portion of the lower inner container 190. The upper inner container 180 includes an open region 184 that allows the contents to be exposed to the outside. A lid 142 is rotatably coupled to an upper portion of the upper inner container 180, and a sealing member 154 for sealing the open region 184 is provided at a lower portion of the lid 142. The sealing member 154 is located at a lower portion of the cover 142 to function to close the open area 184.

The cover 142 is rotatably coupled to one side of the upper inner container 180 by the hinge 144 to function to close the upper inner container 180. Further, a sealing member 154 is coupled to a lower portion of the cover 142 to reinforce a sealing force. When the cover 142 is closed, the sealing member 154 located at the lower portion thereof is pressed downward, and thus the sealing member 154 is pressed to improve the sealing force.

The cover 142 includes a puff-receiving portion 146 having a predetermined depth. The bottom surface of the puff receiving part 146 may be formed flat, and the side surface may be formed in a circular arc shape, and the cross-sectional shape of the cap 142 may be the same as that of the upper inner container 180.

A seal insertion groove 148 is provided at an edge of the cover 142 corresponding to the outer periphery of the puff storage part 146. The seal insertion groove 148 has a ring shape, and may have a structure in which an upper surface is closed and a lower surface is opened. In addition, the first sealing member 156 may be coupled to the seal insertion groove 148 by press fitting. The width of the seal insertion groove 148 is formed to be the same as a whole around the cover 142, but may be formed to be partially different in width. For example, the seal insertion groove 148 may be formed such that the width thereof is minimized at a portion where the hinge 144 is formed.

At the lower surface of the cover 142, a sealing protrusion 150 protrudes downward. The sealing protrusion 150 may be pressed into the discharge hole 164 formed at the sealing member 154, and thus, may block the flow of air (the outside in the lower inner container 190 or the reverse direction thereof) through the discharge hole 164.

A sealing member 154 is coupled to a lower portion of the cover 142. The sealing member 154 functions to close the open area 184 of the upper inner container 180. The sealing member 154 includes a first sealing member 156 for coupling with the lid 142, and a second sealing member 162 coupled with the first sealing member 156 and abutting against the upper portion of the upper inner container 180.

The first sealing member 156 may be formed of a plastic material having a predetermined rigidity, or may be formed of the same material (e.g., rubber, silicon, or the like) as the second sealing member 162. The first seal member 156 may have a ring shape having a predetermined width, and a second seal member 162 may be integrally formed at a lower surface thereof by double injection molding or the like. In addition, the first sealing member 156 may be inserted and fixed into the seal insertion groove 148 formed at the cover 142.

The first seal member 156 includes a horizontal surface 158 and an inner vertical surface 160 vertically protruding downward from an inner end of the horizontal surface 158. With such internal vertical 160 and horizontal 158 surfaces, the first seal member 156 may haveIs provided with

A word shape.

The width of the first sealing member 156 may be formed such that the portion where the hinge 144 is formed is smaller than the other portion.

The second sealing member 162 is coupled to the lower surface of the first sealing member 156 to function to close the open area 184 of the upper inner container 180. The second sealing member 162 may have a planar shape (e.g., a circular shape) similar to the cap 142. The second sealing member 162 may be formed of a material having an excellent sealing force, such as rubber or silicon.

The second sealing member 162 is spaced apart from the cover 142 by a prescribed interval as illustrated in fig. 4 when no external force is applied, and thus the sealing protrusion 150 is separated from the discharge hole 164. Accordingly, when the downward pressurizing force applied to the second sealing member 162 is removed when the cover 142 is opened, the second sealing member 162 is elastically restored, and thus the discharge hole 164 may be separated from the sealing protrusion 150.

When an external force acts on the second sealing member 162 (i.e., when the cover 142 is closed and the second sealing member 162 is pressed downward as shown in fig. 1), the second sealing member 162 is pressed toward the cover 142 when it is contracted, and thus the sealing protrusion 150 is inserted into the discharge hole 164.

A discharge hole 164 is formed in the second sealing member 162. Air from the interior space 170 can flow into the lower inner container 190 through the discharge hole 164 or air from the lower inner container 190 can flow into the interior space 170. In this way, the discharge hole 164 corresponds to a passage through which air flowing into the lower inner container 190 or air flowing out of the lower inner container 190 is discharged to the outside.

The sealing protrusion 150 formed at the cover 142 may be inserted into the discharge hole 164. That is, when the cover 142 closes the upper inner container 180 (refer to fig. 1), the sealing protrusion 150 is inserted into the discharge hole 164 to close the discharge hole 164. In addition, when the cap 142 starts to be separated from the upper inner container 180 (i.e., when the user wants to use the contents, etc.), the sealing protrusion 150 is preferentially detached from the discharge hole 164 to open the discharge hole 164, and air flows into the inside of the lower inner container 190 through the opened discharge hole 164. Therefore, the vacuum state or the low pressure state in the lower inner container 190 is released, and the problem that the content is pulled and scattered when the lid 142 is further opened can be solved.

A discharge guide 166 protruding upward may be formed around the discharge hole 164. The discharge guide 166 may be formed such that an inner circumferential surface thereof is inclined, thereby facilitating the entry of the sealing protrusion 150. In this manner, the discharge guide 166 allows the sealing protrusion 150 to be easily inserted into the discharge hole 164.

The central portion of the second seal member 162 corresponds to a curved surface 168 formed to protrude upward. Thus, the curved surface 168 may not contact the mesh 204 located therebelow. In addition, an inner space 170 may be formed between an upper portion of the curved surface 168 and a lower portion of the cover 142. In addition, the curved surface 168 may be formed to have the same diameter as the open area 184 formed in the upper inner container 180.

The inner space 170 may have a structure communicating with or shielding the outside.

When the inner space 170 communicates with the outside, it may occur that air outside the cosmetic container 100 flows into the inside of the lower inner container 190 through the inner space 170 or vice versa. At this time, a groove (not shown) for communication with the outside may be formed in at least one of the first sealing member 156 or the seal insertion groove 148.

When the inner space 170 is not communicated with the outside, it is possible to prevent air outside the cosmetic container 100 from flowing into the inner space 170 and the inside of the lower inner container 190, and only air inside the inner space 170 is supplied to the lower inner container 190 through the discharge hole 164 or discharged from the lower inner container 190 to the inner space 170.

The second sealing member 162 may be formed to have the same sectional shape as the upper inner container 180, so that the second sealing member 162 may be closely attached to the upper surface of the upper inner container 180 to provide a strong sealing force.

Although the cosmetic container 100 of the present embodiment is illustrated as the first sealing member 156 and the second sealing member 162 which are separately formed of different materials and then coupled to each other, the cosmetic container of another embodiment of the present invention may be integrally formed with the sealing member 154.

The upper inner container 180 and the lower inner container 190 may be combined with each other to form a body of the inner container 140, in which contents such as powder and the like may be accommodated.

The upper inner container 180 is formed such that a central portion thereof is depressed at a predetermined height and is coupled to an upper portion of the lower inner container 190. In addition, the lid 142 is rotatably coupled to an upper portion of the upper inner container 180.

A receiving space 182 is formed in the center of the upper inner container 180, and the puff holder 146 of the cap 142 can be received in the receiving space 182. Further, the sealing member 154 is positioned at the lower portion of the puff storage portion 146.

A circular open area 184 may be formed at a lower surface of the receiving space 182. The contents contained in the lower inner container 190 can be exposed to the outside through the open region 184. In addition, the open region 184 may be closed by the second sealing member 162. In addition, the open area 184 may be covered by a mesh 204 incorporated in the lower portion of the upper interior container 180.

The upper inner container 180 may have an annular upper surface 178 (see fig. 4) at an upper portion thereof. The upper surface 178 corresponds to a horizontal surface, which is pressed downward when being engaged with the second sealing member 162 located at the upper portion thereof. In this manner, the upper surface 178 is pressed downward by the second sealing member 162, whereby the lower inner container 190 is sealed.

An inner surface 176 corresponding to an inclined curved surface is formed at an inner end of the upper surface 178. The inner side surface 176 has the same shape as a corresponding portion of the second sealing member 162 so that the second sealing member 162 can be abutted against the upper surface thereof. Additionally, the ends of the inner side 176 may extend to the open area 184.

A mesh-engaging circumferential surface 186 is formed at a lower portion of the upper surface 178 to project downward. The mesh-connected circumferential surface 186 corresponds to an annular circumferential surface having a predetermined height, and has an open structure at a lower portion thereof. The mesh 204 may be coupled to a lower end portion of the mesh coupling circumferential surface 186 (refer to fig. 4). At this time, the mesh 204 may be ultrasonically bonded to the lower end of the mesh bonding circumferential surface 186 in a state of being pulled tight.

The mesh bonding circumferential surface 186 may be inserted into a bonding groove 192 formed around the lower inner container 190. When the mesh coupling circumferential surface 186 is inserted into the coupling groove 192 in a state in which the mesh 204 is coupled, the mesh 204 is locked to the upper end portion of the lower inner container 190, as illustrated in fig. 1 and 2. At this time, the mesh 204 may be pulled more tightly during the extension, and the size of the fine discharge holes (not shown) formed in the mesh 204 may also be increased due to the extension of the mesh 204.

A shoulder joint circumferential surface 188 is formed around the mesh joint circumferential surface 186. The shoulder-engaging circumferential surface 188 has an annular shape like the mesh-engaging circumferential surface 186, and both may have the same center. In addition, a predetermined interval (no reference numeral) may be formed between the mesh coupling circumferential surface 186 and the shoulder coupling circumferential surface 188, and the coupling protrusion 194 of the lower inner container 190 may be inserted into the interval.

The shoulder engaging circumferential surface 188 may be formed shorter than the mesh engaging circumferential surface 186.

The lower inner container 190 corresponds to a container for containing contents (not shown), and the upper inner container 180, the sealing member 154, and the lid 142 are coupled to the upper portion thereof, respectively, to form the inner container 140 for containing and storing the contents.

The lower inner container 190 has a structure in which the lower surface is closed and the upper portion is opened. Since the upper end portion of the lower inner container 190 is inserted into a groove (no reference numeral) supported on the inner surface of the mesh bonding circumferential surface 186, the upper inner container 180 is bonded to the lower inner container 190, and the mesh 204 is pressed and stretched.

An annular coupling protrusion 194 is formed on the circumferential surface of the lower inner container 190. Since the coupling protrusions 194 are formed at a predetermined interval with respect to the circumferential surface of the lower inner container 190, a predetermined interval (no reference numeral) is formed between the coupling protrusions 194 and the circumferential surface of the lower inner container 190. In addition, a mesh bonding circumferential surface 186 may be inserted in the pitch.

The lower inner container 190 may have its lower surface exposed to the outside through the open region 118 of the lower outer container 116. Accordingly, a user may separate the inner container 140 including the lower inner container 190 from the shoulder 128 by pressing upwardly on the open lower surface of the lower inner container 190.

The user can open the upper outer container 112 in a state where the upper outer container 112 is closed as shown in fig. 1 to expose the puff 202 to the outside as shown in fig. 2. Then, the cover 142 may be opened after holding the puff 202. In the opening process of the cover 142, the sealing protrusion 150 may rise to open the discharge hole 164 before the sealing member 154 is released from contact with the upper inner container 180 or at an early stage of the release of the contact. When the discharge hole 164 is opened, air inside the inner space 170 or air outside the cosmetic container 100 may flow into the lower inner container 190 through the discharge hole 164.

By allowing air to flow into the lower inner container 190, the vacuum state inside the lower inner container 190 can be released. In this way, since the lid 142 is opened after the vacuum state of the lower inner container 190 is preferentially released, it is possible to solve the problem of the contents being scattered by the opened lid 142 pulling the contents.

The user may close the lid 142 to seal the contents after finishing using, and at this time, the air inside the lower container 190 may be discharged to the inner space 170 or the outside of the cosmetic container 100 through the discharge hole 164 during the closing of the lid 142. In addition, when the cover 142 is completely closed, the sealing protrusion 150 closes the discharge hole 164, and thus the sealing force may be maintained.

Fig. 6 is a sectional view illustrating a cosmetic container 200 according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 6, there is illustrated a state in which the cosmetic container 200 of the second embodiment is coupled to the shoulder coupling circumferential surface 188 by the downward extension of the outer vertical surface 161 corresponding to the circumferential surface of the first sealing member 156 in the sealing member 154. As such, by forming the outer vertical surface 161 to extend more downward than the cosmetic container 100 of the first embodiment, the cover 142 may be more stably coupled to the upper inner container 180.

Although the

cosmetic containers

100, 200 of the first and second embodiments are each exemplified as having the outer container 110, a cosmetic container of another embodiment of the present invention may be provided without the outer container and with only the inner container.
