Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container assembly for a cosmetic formula, and more particularly to a container assembly for a cosmetic formula which is used upon adding a natural material thereto.
  • the present invention also relates to a kit for forming such a container assembly.
  • the present invention further relates to a method for using such a kit.
  • the cosmetic formula is used upon adding a natural material such as petals, leaves or small pieces thereof, seeds, and the like.
  • a Natural material is provided in a state in which it is immersed in the cosmetic formula so that the active ingredient of the natural material mixes with the cosmetic formula.
  • the freshness of the mixture consisting of the cosmetic formula and the active ingredient of the natural material may be lost.
  • KR20140137270 discloses a container for a cosmetic formula having a two-layer structure. This container is divided into an upper portion and a lower portion with an anti-bacterial filter therebetween, and fruit or the like is accommodated in the lower portion.
  • KR20100010633 discloses a container including a small water-permeable bag which accommodates an herbal medicine or the like. This bag is disposed in the container through an opening formed in a lid of the container.
  • KR20130002203 discloses a dropper for a cosmetic formula.
  • a capsule included in the cosmetic formula is smashed by sliding a tube for discharging the cosmetic formula up and down.
  • CN282505 discloses a tea-filled bottle.
  • a cap of this bottle has, on the inside thereof, a compartment for accommodating tea leaves.
  • the tea leaves can be directly charged into water within the bottle when necessary.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a novel container assembly for a cosmetic formula and a kit for forming such a container assembly in order to alleviate or eliminate one or more defects of the prior art.
  • the present invention provides a container assembly as defined in claim 1.
  • the present invention further provides a kit for forming a container assembly for a cosmetic as defined in claim 9.
  • a "cosmetic formula” as used in the present specification is a general term for cosmetic formulas in a liquid or cream state.
  • a cosmetic formula mention may be made of, but not limited to, for example, a serum, a liquid foundation, a lotion, an emulsion, a liquid concealer, a hair care product, and the like.
  • a "natural material” as used in the present specification is a general term for a solid or semi-solid natural material, which includes an active ingredient or is believed to include an active ingredient.
  • a natural material mention may be made of, but not limited to, for example, petals, plant leaves or small pieces thereof, plant seeds, honeycomb, small pieces of plant roots, and the like.
  • any other raw material is also included in the meaning of "natural material”.
  • These natural materials can have any shape or size as long as they can be retained within the cage so that they do not exit to the outside thereof.
  • the natural material is disposed within the main body, which accommodates the cosmetic formula, in a state in which the natural material is accommodated within the cage having the above-described characteristic constitution. Therefore, satisfactory contact between the natural material and the cosmetic formula can be achieved without the natural material clumping together or settling at the bottom of the container. As a result, good infusion of the active ingredient and good homogeneity of the mixture of the active ingredient and the cosmetic formula can be realized. Further, by using the kit of the present invention, a user can immerse the natural material in the cosmetic formula for the first time at the time of using the cosmetic formula. Therefore, the problem of loss of freshness of the mixture of the cosmetic formula and the active ingredient of the natural material, such as when the natural material is left in an immersed state in the cosmetic formula over a long period of time, does not occur.
  • the cage includes a cylindrical inner wall portion which is fluid permeable, and a cylindrical outer wall portion which is disposed around the inner wall portion and is fluid permeable.
  • the natural material is accommodated within a space formed between the inner wall portion and the outer wall portion.
  • the container assembly may further include a dispensing device for dispensing the cosmetic formula accommodated within the main body.
  • the dispensing device may be a pump device including a tube for sucking up the cosmetic formula, and in this case, the tube extends through an inner space enclosed by the inner wall portion of the cage.
  • the dispensing device may be a dropping device including a tube for sucking up the cosmetic formula, and in this case, the tube extends through an inner space enclosed by the inner wall portion of the cage.
  • the main body of the container assembly may be constituted by a flexible material.
  • the opening of the main body is covered by a covering member having an outlet for discharging the cosmetic formula accommodated within the main body to the outside, and the cosmetic formula can flow to the outlet upon passing through the space of the cage in which the natural material is accommodated when the main body is squeezed.
  • the cage may include a cup-shaped casing which is fluid permeable, and a cup-shaped core which is disposed inside the casing and is fluid permeable.
  • the natural material is accommodated within a space formed between the casing and the core, and the cosmetic material flows to the outlet upon further passing through the inner space of the core when the main body is squeezed.
  • the casing and the core may both be substantially conical shaped.
  • the main body and the cage may be disposed coaxially so that a central axis line of the main body and a central axis line of the cage substantially coincide with each other.
  • the present invention also provides a kit for forming a container assembly for a cosmetic formula as defined in claim 10.
  • the present invention further provides a method for using this kit, comprising the following steps: accommodating the cartridge within the main body through the opening so that the cartridge extends within the main body and so that the natural material accommodated within the cartridge is immersed in the cosmetic formula; removing the cartridge from the main body after a predetermined time has elapsed since accommodating the cartridge within the main body; and engaging the dispensing device with the main body after the cartridge has been removed from the main body.
  • the user of the kit can arbitrarily adjust the time during which the natural material is immersed in the cosmetic formula. This allows users to adjust the concentration of an active ingredient to whatever the user likes. Furthermore, these aspects of the present invention are particularly advantageous when using a natural material that is not preferred to be immersed in the cosmetic formula over an extended period of time.
  • the cartridge comprises a tube for accommodating the natural material, and a cap for closing an opening present at a top end of the tube, and wherein the cap is configured to be able to detachably engage with the top end of the main body.

Therefore, at first, the dispensing device 420 is removed from the main body 400, and instead, the cartridge 410 is accommodated within the main body 400 through the opening 401 thereof as shown in FIG 13B . That is, the cartridge 410 is detachably engaged with the top end of the main body 400. As a result, the cartridge 410 extends within the main body 400 and the natural material M accommodated within the cartridge 410 is immersed in the cosmetic formula F. During this immersion, the active ingredients are extracted from the natural material M as shown in FIG 13C .
  • the cartridge 410 is removed from the main body 400 and thereafter, the dispensing device 420 is engaged with the main body 400 once again, as shown in FIG. 13D .
  • the container assembly 40 filled with the cosmetic formula F containing the active ingredient extracted from the natural material M is obtained.
  • the user of the kit can arbitrarily adjust the time during which the natural material M is immersed in the cosmetic formula F, it is possible for the user to adjust the concentration of the active ingredients to whatever the user likes.
