Description

[Technical Field]

[Background Art]

Color cosmetics, which are used to beautifully adorn the skin of a user by making the appearance beautiful, are classified into a base makeup used for making a skin color uniform and covering a defect and a point makeup used for partially enhancing a three-dimensional effect of lips, eyes, or nails. The base makeup includes a makeup base, a foundation and a powder, and the point makeup includes a lipstick, an eye liner, and a mascara.
The foundation is classified into solid type foundation, liquid type foundation and gel type foundation according to a type of cosmetic contents. In case of the solid type foundation, although the solid-type foundation has a good cover effect, the makeup is united when the makeup is refreshed. In case of the liquid type foundation, although the liquid type foundation gives a good close contact feel, the persistency is weak. Thus, in recent years, the number of customers who prefer the gel type foundation, which has a considerable persistency and provides a good feeling when it is applied to the skin, has been increased.
Therefore, there is a need to develop a container for gel type foundation. Generally, the gel type foundation, which is filled into a glass container or a tube container, is used in such a manner that the user takes some foundation on user's hands for use or squeezes the foundation from the container and then, applies the foundation on the user's skin by using a puff or user's hands.
However, according to the related art, since the user gets cosmetics on user's hand whenever using the cosmetics, it is inconvenient to wash hands every time after use. In addition, as the hands coated with cosmetics are washed, the cosmetics are wasted.
To solve the above mentioned problems, as shown in FIG. 1, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2015-0087772 has been disclosed. The rubber ejection pad formed therein with a plurality of outlets is coupled to the container body, the rubber ejection pads is coupled to the tension cap formed therein with a tension protrusion, such that the tension protrusion presses a periphery of the rubber ejection pad to allow the rubber ejection pad to be tight, and the tension cap tightly couples the rubber ejection pad to a container body, thereby preventing the rubber ejection pad from being separated from the container body when a puff presses the rubber ejection pad, and allowing the rubber ejection pad to be pressed down to the bottom of the container body by the elasticity of the rubber ejection pad, such that the contents accommodated in the container body can be used without remaining.
However, the related art has a structure in which a rubber ejection pad is placed on an upper portion of the container body and a tension cap is fitted to an upper end of the rubber ejection pad. Accordingly, when the remaining contents accommodated in a lower portion of the container body, the rubber ejection pad is separated from the tension cap if the rubber ejection pad is strongly pressed, and the user has to combine the separated rubber ejection pads again.
