Description

[Technical Field]

The present invention relates to a vertically pressed compact container provided with a pouch container and, more particularly, to a vertically pressed compact container provided with a pouch container, in which: pouch frame is housed inside an outer container, a pouch container having an airless pump installed therein is installed inside the pouch frame, an inclined protruding portion is formed on the rear surface of the pouch frame, and a button on which a pressing protrusion for vertically pressing the inclined protruding portion is formed such that when the button is pressed vertically, the pouch frame moves horizontally to actuate the airless pump and can discharge a precise amount of cosmetics, thereby enabling one hand instead of both hands to be used to press the button vertically and easily discharge cosmetics.
In addition, a nozzle that is coupled to an end of the pump to discharge cosmetics is formed in a laid-down "U" shape in order to be able to prevent cosmetics from shooting upward and splattering.

[Background Art]

In general, a gel-type cosmetic material, which is filled in a cosmetic container such as a bottle, a barrel and the like, is used in such a manner that a user takes some cosmetics in his hands and applies the cosmetics to his skin with a puff or a hand.
However, because the conventional cosmetic container is required to separately prepare a stick or spoon for discharging the cosmetic material, it is inconvenient to carry the cosmetic container to discharge the cosmetic material.
To solve the above problems, there has been developed a tube container in which the cosmetic material is discharged by the pressure applied to the tube container so that the cosmetic material may be easily discharged without having a stick or a spoon for discharging the cosmetic material and the cosmetics may be conveniently carried.
However, according to the tube container of the related art, since the amount of the cosmetic material is differently discharged depending on the applied pressure, it is difficult to dispense a predetermined amount of the cosmetic material, so that the cosmetic material is wasted by the pressure more than necessary.
To solve the above problems, there has been disclosed a configuration in Korean Patent No. 10-1231786 , where an airless pump is operated by pushing the airless pump horizontally from the rear.
However, according to the related art described above, since the cosmetic material is dispensed by pushing a button in a state of holding the container in one hand, it is very inconvenient to use it.
In addition, according to the related art described above, since the nozzle is formed perpendicular to the container body, the cosmetic material rises and discharges to the outside of the container body when discharging the cosmetic material.
In addition, according to the related art described above, since a cosmetic tool used for taking a cosmetic material is placed on and kept in a compartment in which a discharge hole is formed, there is a problem in hygiene.
JPH0574414U relates to a two-part retractable compact container.

Hereinafter, a method of assembling the vertically pressed compact container provided with a pouch container configured as described above will be described.
To assemble the vertically pressed compact container provided with a pouch container according to the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the pouch frame (30) is first placed in the frame placing groove (16) of the outer container (10).
Then, when the pouch housing (41) of the pouch container (40) is coupled to the airless pump (50) after the cosmetic material is injected into the pouch container (40) and the sealing ring (59) is further formed, after the sealing ring (59) is fitted to the outer periphery of the cylinder (51), the airless pump (50) is coupled into the pump installing hole (42) of the pouch container (40).
Then, one side end of the nozzle (80) is coupled to the airless pump (50) and the opposite side end is coupled to the discharge outlet (67) of the discharge plate (60).
Then, the cosmetic cover (92) of the transparent material is hinge-coupled to the upper portion of the discharge plate (30) and the button guide (61) is coupled to the front surface of the discharge plate (30). After the discharge plate guide (62) is coupled to the rear surface of the discharge plate (30), the button (70) is inserted into the lower side of the button guide (61).
Last, as described above, the discharge plate (30) assembled with the pouch container (40) and the button (70) is coupled to the upper portion of the container body (10). The pouch container (40) is installed into the pouch mounting groove (32) and the nozzle (80) is inserted into the nozzle through hole (171) of the outer container (10), so that the assembly of the vertically pressed compact container provided with a pouch container according to the present invention is completed.
Hereinafter, the use of the compact container provided with a pouch container assembled as described above will be described as follows.
To use the compact container provided with a pouch container according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, when the button formed on one side of the discharge plate (60) is pushed after the outer container lid (20) is first opened from the outer container (10), the pressing protrusion (71) formed on the lower side of the button (70) vertically presses the inclined protrusion part (31) of the pouch frame (30) contained inside the outer container (10) and at the same time, the pouch frame (30) and the pouch container (40) installed inside the pouch frame (30) are pushed to move forward.
When the pouch container (40) moves forward, since the fixing member (56) of the airless pump (50) installed on the end of the pouch container (40) and the piston (54) are fixed by the fixing protrusion piece (17) of the outer container (10) while the piston ring (55) is tightly closed to the inner side surface of the cylinder (51) and together moved forward together, a gap is generated between the piston (54) and the piston ring (55) so that a discharge passage for the cosmetic material is generated.
Thereafter, when the cylinder (51) further moves forward, while the volume inside the cylinder (51) is reduced, the check valve (52) closes the content suction hole (58) by the discharge pressure in the cylinder (51). Then, after the cosmetic material contained in the cylinder (51) is output through the gap between the piston (54) and the piston ring (55) and passes through the inside of the piston (54), the cosmetic material is discharge to the discharge outlet (67) of the discharge plate (60) vita the nozzle (80).
As shown in FIG. 6, when the pressure on the button (70) is released, the sealing member (53) moves backward by the elasticity of the elastic member (57) elastically supporting the sealing member (53) and the cylinder (51) and the pouch container (40) coupled to the sealing member (53) are also moved backward.
In this case, since the piston (54) is fixed by the fixing member (56) while the piston ring (55) is moved backward together with the cylinder (51) while being tightly closed to the inner surface of the cylinder (51), the gap between the rings (55) and the piston ring (55) is closed, and accordingly, the volume inside the cylinder (51) becomes large, thereby generating a vacuum pressure.
Then, the check valve (52) opens the content suction hole (58) formed on the bottom surface of the cylinder (51) by the vacuum pressure generated from the inside of the cylinder. Thus, while the cosmetic material contained in the pouch container (40) is introduced into the cylinder (51) through the content suction hole (58), the soft pouch container (40) is crushed by the amount of the cosmetic material introduced into the cylinder (51).
When the cosmetic material contained in the pouch container (40) is exhausted and the pouch container (40) is refilled, the discharge plate (60) coupled to the button guide (61) and the soil release guide (62) is first separated from the outer container (10).
Then, after the airless pump (50) and the pouch container (40) are separated from the nozzle (80), a new airless pump (50) and a new pouch container (40) are coupled to the nozzle (80).
Last, as described above, when the discharge plate (60) to which the new pouch container (40) is coupled to the upper portion of the outer container (10), the refill of the vertically pressed compact container provided with a pouch container according to the present invention is completed.
As described above, the vertically pressed compact container provided with a pouch container described in this disclosure is an illustrative purpose only, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Thus, it should be understood that numerous other modifications and embodiments can be devised by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention without departing from the scope of the appended claims and they will fall within the scope of the present invention.
