FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a configuration of a foam ejection container according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an assembled perspective view showing a configuration of a foam ejection container according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Sectional view showing the structure of a foam ejection container according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

1 to 3, a foam ejection container according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a container body 100, a support 200, a cylinder 300, a piston 400, and a button unit 500.

The contents stored in the container body 100 are made of foamable contents so that the container body 100 can be discharged in the form of a foam when the container body 100 is shaken And a nozzle 110 for discharging foamable contents by pressurization of the contents movement pipe 420 of the piston 400 is provided on the upper part of the container body 100. Since the structure of the nozzle 110 is well known in the art to which the present invention pertains, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The supporter 200 is positioned on the upper part of the container body 100 and fixes the cylinder 300. The support body 200 has a through hole 210 formed at the center thereof to allow the nozzle 110 to pass therethrough, And a seating groove 220 surrounding the through hole 210 is formed at an upper end thereof so that the lower end of the spring 600 can be seated.

The cylinder 300 is coupled to and fixed to the support 200 and a piston 400 is inserted into the cylinder 300 to form a space capable of moving up and down. In the present invention, The button inserting unit 310 is formed so that the button unit 500 can be inserted.

The button inserting portion 310 protrudes from the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder 300 so that the button portion 500 can be moved forward and backward in a state in which the button portion 500 is exposed to the outside of the cylinder 300, The button inserting unit 310 is provided to prevent the lower portion of the guide protrusion 510 and the lower portion of the button inserting unit 310 from interfering with each other during the movement of the guide protrusion 510 of the guide protrusion 510 in the inner direction of the cylinder 300. [ A protrusion insertion groove 311 is formed in a lower portion of the guide protrusion 510 to define a space through which the guide protrusion 510 can move.

A plurality of discharge holes 320 are formed at the upper end of the cylinder 300 so as to discharge the contents in the form of bubbles. The discharge holes 320 are formed in a shape of a plug, a letter, a character And can be formed in various shapes.

An opening / closing protrusion 330 for opening / closing the contents movement hole 430 of the piston 400 in the course of lifting / lowering the piston 400 depending on whether the button unit 500 is pressed or not is provided on the upper side of the cylinder 300, Closing projection 330 closes the contents movement hole 430 to block the contents from moving to the discharge hole 320 in a state where the piston 400 is lifted and the state in which the piston 400 descends The contents moving hole 430 is separated from the contents moving hole 430 and the contents moving hole 430 is opened so that the contents moving through the contents moving pipe 420 can move to the contents discharging hole 320.

The piston 400 is located on the upper side of the cylinder 300 and moves upward and downward depending on whether the button unit 500 is pressed or not and controls the movement of the contents. In the present invention, A button fitting hole 410 is formed to allow the guide protrusion 510 of the button unit 500 to be engaged and slidably moved.

The release preventing portion 520 of the guide protrusion 510 is hooked to the button fitting hole 410 to assemble the piston 400 and the button portion 500. When the button portion 500 is pressed, The guide protrusion 510 is configured to press the lower end of the button engagement hole 410 so that the button protrusion 510 is inserted into the button engagement hole 410 through the inclined surface 511 in the process of moving inward of the cylinder 300. [ 410, the piston 400 descends.

In the inside of the button fitting hole 410, a torsion preventing protrusion 411 is provided to guide the guide protrusion 510 to prevent the guide protrusion 510 from being shaken to the left or right during the sliding movement.

The contents moving pipe 420 communicates with the nozzle 110 in a state where the piston 400 descends inside the center portion of the piston 400. The contents moving pipe 420 moves the piston 400 downward It is possible to move the foam-like contents stored in the container body 100 upward through the nozzle 110 by pressing the nozzle 110 in the process of FIG.

In addition, a leakage preventing pipe (421) is formed at the lower part of the contents moving pipe (420) to cover the outer circumferential surface of the nozzle (110) and to prevent leakage of contents.

The contents movement hole 430 is formed at the upper end of the piston 400 so as to communicate with the contents movement pipe 420. When the piston 400 is lifted up, And is opened when the piston 400 is lowered to make it possible to move the contents moving through the contents moving tube 420 to the contents discharge hole 320. [

An insertion groove 440 is formed on the inner side of the piston 400 so that a spring 600 for upwardly moving the piston 400 can be inserted by an elastic force. When the piston 500 is released from pressure, an elastic force is applied upward to enable the piston 400 to rise.

The button unit 500 is coupled to the button inserting unit 310 and the button fitting hole 410 and moves inward of the cylinder 300 by the user's pressure and moves the piston 400 in a downward direction A button insertion portion 310 formed on both sides of the cylinder 300 and the piston 400, and a pair of button insertion holes 410.

A guide protrusion 510 coupled to the button inserting portion 310 and the button inserting hole 410 for guiding the piston 400 to move downward is provided in the button portion 500, A slant surface 511 for pressing the lower end of the button fitting hole 410 is formed on the lower surface of the guide protrusion 510 as the button unit 500 moves inward, The protrusion 510 is formed at an end of the protrusion 510 to prevent the button unit 500 from being detached from the piston 400 by being hooked to the button fitting hole 511. The protrusion 512 may be formed in the protrusion 510, The button unit 500 may be hooked to the button fitting hole 511 in the process of moving the button unit 500 in the outward direction of the cylinder 300 as the piston 400 rises by the elastic force of the spring 600, From being detached from the piston (400).

Hereinafter, the operation of the foam ejection container according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 4 is an operational state diagram of a foam ejection container according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. 4, when the piston 400 positioned in the cylinder 300 is initially raised, the contents movement hole 430 is closed by the opening / closing protrusion 330, and the nozzle 110 and the contents The moving pipes 420 are positioned apart from each other.

In this state, when the container body 100 is gripped and shaken, the foamed contents stored in the container body 100 are changed into foam. At this time, the pair of button parts 500 The piston 400 moves downward along the inclined surface 511 of the guide protrusion 510. When the piston 400 descends, the contents moving tube 420 moves along the inclined surface 511 of the nozzle 110 And the contents stored in the container body 100 are moved to the contents moving tube 420 through the nozzle 110 by the pressure of the nozzle 110 through the contents moving tube 420 as soon as the communication is established.

The upper space S formed by the piston 400 and the cylinder 300 through the contents movement hole 430 formed at the upper end of the contents movement tube 420 is moved to the lower side of the upper space S, The contents are ejected through the upper ejection holes 320 of the cylinder 300. At this time, the foam ejection is performed in various shapes according to the shape of the ejection holes 320.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to eject the contents in the form of a bubble by operating the button unit 500 simply by using the thumb and the index finger, and the shape of the upper discharge hole 320 of the cylinder 300 It is possible to improve the competitiveness of the product by inducing the interest of the users according to the visual effect as well as the ease of use through the simple operation method.
