Definitions

  • the present invention disclosed herein relates to a cream-type cosmetic container, and more particularly, to a cream-type cosmetic container, which can easily discharge a highly viscous content without a separate pumping member by allowing a button part to downwardly move and then return to an original location and thus changing the internal pressure of the container body when a user pressurizes the button part, and thus can save the assembling time and the manufacturing cost.
  • cream-type cosmetic containers storing highly viscous cream are configured to interrupt a contact between air and the content contained in the cosmetic containers.
  • An exemplary vacuum-type cosmetic container is disclosed in Korean Utility Model No. 20-0311503 filed and owned by the present applicant.
  • This utility model discloses a dispenser container including a container part 10 storing contents, a dispenser 100 coupled to an upper end of the container part 10.
  • the dispenser 100 includes a cylinder 20 coupled to the upper end of the container part 10, a valve body 30 disposed at an intake hole 22 of the cylinder 20, a button 40 disposed at the cylinder 20 so as to perform repetitive pumping and including a tray part 42 extended so as to cover an upper part of the container part 10 at an upper end thereof, and a piston 50 disposed between an inner wall surface of the cylinder 20 and a lower end portion of the button 40.
  • the button has a slide hole 44 formed at a central portion thereof in a vertical direction
  • the valve body 30 has an upper end thereof upwardly extending and slidably inserted into the slide hole 44 of the button.
  • a cover member 60 is coupled to the upper end of the valve body 30 to cover the slide hole 44 of the button 40.
  • the dispenser 100 including the cylinder 20 having the intake hole 22 at the lower end thereof is coupled to the upper portion of the container part 10 to discharge contents stored in the container part 10. Accordingly, since this utility model has a structure in which pumping is performed through the dispenser 100 having a complicated structure, there is a limitation in that the assembling time and the manufacturing cost for installing the dispenser 100 increase.
  • US 5 000 355 A , US 3 361 305 A and JP 2 006 315 745 disclose dispensers with a lateral liquid outlet.
  • US 5,000,355 which is considered as being the closest prior of the invention discloses all features of claim 1 besides the vertically in-line location of the content inlet hole and the content outlet hole.
  • EP 0 810 160 A2 and EP 0 600 286 A2 disclose dispensers with a ring-like button-ring and a central outlet opening.
  • KR 10 2007 0014884 discloses a container with a central button.
  • the present invention provides a cream-type cosmetic container, which can easily discharge a highly viscous content without a separate pumping member by allowing a button part to downwardly move and then return to an original location and thus changing the internal pressure of the container body when a user pressurizes the button part, and thus can save the assembling time and the manufacturing cost.
  • the present invention also provides a cream-type cosmetic container, which can discharge a uniform amount of contents every pumping operation by suctioning and storing a uniform amount of contents in a space defined by a pumping guide cap and a content suctioning part through the content suctioning part, according to claim 1.
  • the pumping guide cap may further include: a coupling part coupled to the upper portion of the container body to fix the pumping guide cap to the container body.
  • the pumping guide cap may further include: a coupling part coupled to the upper portion of the container body to fix the pumping guide cap to the container body.
  • the cream-type cosmetic container may further include a closing cap coupled to the upper portion of the container body while covering the pumping guide cap.
  • the present invention can easily discharge a highly viscous content without a separate pumping member by allowing a button part to downwardly move and then return to an original location and thus changing the internal pressure of the container body when a user pressurizes the button part, and thus can save the assembling time and the manufacturing cost.
  • the present invention can discharge a uniform amount of contents every pumping operation by suctioning and storing a uniform amount of contents in a space defined by a pumping guide cap and a content suctioning part through the content suctioning part.
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view illustrating a configuration of a cream-type cosmetic container according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is an assembled perspective view illustrating a configuration of a cream-type cosmetic container according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

  • the pumping guide cap 200 may include a coupling part 210 coupled to the upper portion of the container body 100 so as to fix the pumping guide cap 200 to the upper portion of the container body 100.
  • the pumping guide cap 200 includes a button part 220 at one side of the upper end thereof.
  • the button part 220 may be elastically deformed according to a pressurization of a user, and may change a pressure of a space defined by the pumping guide cap 200 and the content suctioning part 300 described later to discharge contents out of the content suctioning part 300.
  • a user pressurizes the upper end portion of the button part 220, the whole of the top surface of the button part 220 may downwardly move.
  • the pressurization of a user is released, the whole of the top surface of the button part 220 may be restored to the original location, changing the pressure of the space defined by the content suctioning part 300 and the pumping guide cap 200 and thus guiding a pumping operation.
  • the button part 220 is formed of an elastic material so as to enable the elastic deformation according to the pressurization of a user.
  • the pumping guide cap 200 has a content outlet hole 230 at the other side of the upper end of the pumping guide cap 220 so as to discharge contents by the pumping operation according to the manipulation of the button part 220. Also, a first valve member 231 is disposed in the content outlet hole 230 to open/close the content outlet hole 230 according to whether or not the button part 220 is pressurized.
  • the content suctioning part 300 may be coupled to a lower portion of the pumping guide cap 200 inside the container body 100, and may suction a uniform amount of contents stored in the container body 100 due to the elastic deformation of the button part 220 of the pumping guide cap 200.
  • the content suctioning part 300 may be spaced from the pumping guide cap 200 thereover by a certain interval so as to suction and store contents stored in the container body 100.
  • the content suctioning part 300 has a content inlet hole 310 such that contents stored in the container body 100 flow into the content suctioning part 300. Also, a second valve member 311 is disposed in the content inlet hole 310 to open/close the content inlet hole 310 according to whether or not the button part 220 is pressurized.
  • the content suctioning part 300 may suction and store a uniform amount of contents contained in the container body 100, and may be guided so as to discharge a uniform amount of contents upon pumping operation according to the manipulation of the button part 220.
  • the closing cap 400 may be coupled to the upper portion of the container body 100 while covering the pumping guide cap 200.
  • the closing cap 400 may prevent a malfunction of the button part 220, and may protect the first valve member 231 from an external shock.
  • the closing cap may have a pressurization protrusion 410 formed on an upper end inside the closing cap 400 and pressurizing the upper end of the pumping guide cap 200 to prevent the pumping guide cap 200 from being separated from the container body 100.
