Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 20, a method of using the cosmetic container 5 according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described.

When the user presses the inner container 14c of the container body 10c, the pressure inside the container body 10c is increased by the pumping operation of the discharge means 60c, and the internal pressure causes the container body 10c to contain the contents. The internal pressure of the cosmetics (COS) is transmitted to the sealing portion 292c of the flow control member 29c through the discharge port 27c, and the internal pressure causes the sealing portion 292c to open the discharge port 27c to provide an appropriate amount of cosmetics (COS). ) can be moved to the storage space (SP) in advance before use.

Next, when the user inverts the container body 10c in a state in which the inner container 14c of the container body 10c is not pressed and massages the ball member 21c in contact with the skin SK, the storage space SP The cosmetics COS stored in ) are discharged to the skin SK by rotation of the ball member 21c. Therefore, it is possible to apply the cosmetics (COS) simultaneously with the massage. At this time, since the internal pressure of the sealing part 292c of the flow control member 29c is released, the discharge port 27c is kept closed by the pressing part 293c, and as a result, the container body 10c is turned upside down. In spite of the state, the cosmetics (COS) accommodated in the container body (10c) does not flow into the storage space (SP).

Thereafter, even if the user stops the massage while the cosmetic product (COS) exists in the storage space (SP) and straightens the container body (10c), the sealing portion (292c) of the flow control member (29c) closes the outlet (27c). Since the condition is maintained, it is possible to prevent the remaining cosmetics (COS) in the storage space (SP) from flowing backward to the container body (10c). The cosmetics (COS) remaining in the storage space (SP) are used again by the user, or when the user determines that they are insufficient, the contents container 14c of the container body 10c is pressurized to refill the cosmetics in the storage space (SP). can be used after

Through this, in this embodiment, by providing the flow control member 29c at the outlet 27c, it is possible to prevent cosmetics discharged to the outside through the outlet 27c from flowing into the container body 10c, (10c) In addition to preventing contamination of cosmetics inside, the user can easily adjust the amount of discharge because the cosmetics are not discharged to the outside unless the user increases the pressure inside the container body 10c.

In addition, the flow control member 29c of this embodiment can be applied to various products as well as products such as the cosmetic container 5 having the above structure. For example, in the case of low-viscosity liquid formulation products, products to which existing ball applicators are applied have a simple structure in which contents are discharged while rolling, or a form in which the contents discharged by pumping are rolled into a ball in combination with a dispensing pump, or a soft container. Applied to various products such as squeeze type, it is possible to solve the problem that the amount of contents flowing out cannot be controlled in the case of a simple structure and continues to be discharged without stopping during rolling, and in the case of a dispense pump type, one-time pumping Quantitative discharge is possible, but it is possible to solve the problem of inconvenient use of a low-viscosity liquid formulation with strong flow in a form in which a predetermined amount is discharged to the outside of the ball at once, rather than the contents being discharged little by little naturally.

Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may include a combination of the above embodiment and known technology as a new embodiment.

Although the present invention has been described in detail through specific examples, this is for explaining the present invention in detail, the present invention is not limited thereto, and within the technical spirit of the present invention, by those skilled in the art It will be clear that the modification or improvement is possible.
