Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims the benefit of Korean Application No. 20-2013-0008640, filed on Oct. 21, 2013 with the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a foundation container provided with a rubber discharge pad, and more specifically, to a foundation container provided with a rubber discharge pad, which is capable of using the contents contained in a content container without any residual contents, by pressing the rubber discharge pad down to a lower part of the content container due to the elasticity of the rubber discharge pad, and controlling a discharging amount of the contents according to force of pressing the rubber discharge pad since the rubber discharge pad is coupled to an upper end of the content container such that the contents contained in the content container are discharged through discharge holes of the rubber discharge pad.

BACKGROUND ART

In general, a container according to the related art contains powder-type contents, which are used by using a puff.
However, when the powder-type contents are used, the contents are scattered in use so that the adhesion is deteriorated when the contents are coated on a face.
To solve the problem, gel-type foundation has been developed and the frequency of using it has been gradually increased because of the convenience for use.
In general, gel-type contents are manufactured by mixing mutually different materials having mutually different specific gravity, and the cosmetic materials may be classified into water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion type cosmetic material and oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion type cosmetic material obtained by mixing water-based material and oil-based material such as an emulsifying agent including a surface active agent.
The water-in-oil emulsion type cosmetic material has a larger quantity of oil than that of water and is oily so that the absorption of skin is slow. Although the touch feeling of the water-in-oil emulsion type cosmetic material is heavy, the persistence is longer than that of the oil-in-water emulsion type cosmetic material. The oil-in-water emulsion type cosmetic material has a larger quantity of water than that of oil and is little oily so that the absorption of skin is fast. Although the touch feeling of the water-in-oil emulsion type cosmetic material is flash and light, the persistence is low.
Therefore, the cosmetics requiring persistence are manufactured by using the W/O emulsion type cosmetic material to increase water resistance against sweat and water.
Although the touch feeling of the W/O emulsion type cosmetic material is heavy and sticky, the defects may be compensated by reducing the viscosity of content. However, when the water-in-oil product having low viscosity remains for a long time in circulation, the aqueous material of internal phase and the oil materials of external phase may be separated from each other. In this case, a user shakes a container to mix the separated aqueous and oil materials with each other for use, but it is inconvenient to shake the container for use.
To solve the problems, applicant of the present invention has developed a compact container disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1159877, where low-viscosity water-in-oil contents are impregnated into an impregnation member contained in the compact container.
In a gel-type content impregnated compact container, the gel-type contents are uniformly impregnated into the gel-type content impregnation member contained in an inner container in initial use.
However, as a customer uses the gel-type contents of the impregnation member after sticking the gel-type contents on a puff, the gel-type contents placed at an upper part of the impregnation member is used up and in addition, the gel-type contents moves from the upper part to a lower part. Thus, even though the gel-type contents remains below, when the puff makes contact with the upper surface of the impregnation member, the gel-type contents are not sufficiently stuck on the puff, so that it is very difficult to use the compact.
In addition, since the impregnated contents into the impregnation member are directly taken with a puff for use, it is difficult to control the discharge of contents.

EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 2

Measurement of feeling according to number of discharge holes of rubber discharge pad
To measure the feeling of customers using the rubber discharge pad according to the number of discharge holes 61 of the rubber discharge pad 60, after the diameter of the discharge hole of the rubber discharge pad 60 is fixed to 0.05 mm, foundation containers having rubber discharge pads 60 with various numbers of discharge holes 61 were provided to the customers and the feeling of customers was measured.

(1.0: Very bad, 2.0: Bad, 3.0: Normal, 4.0: Good, 5.0: Very good)

As the result of measuring the feeling of customers, when the diameter of the discharge hole 61 is less than 0.01 mm, due to the surface tension, the content particles are not smoothly discharged so that the feeling of customers was bad. When the diameter of the discharge hole 61 exceeds 1.0 mm, the contents are excessively discharged, so that the feeling of customers was bad and the rubber discharge pad 60 does not control a discharge amount of contents.
In addition, when the number of discharge holes 61 is less than 50, the contents are not smoothly discharged so that the feeling of customers was bad. When the number of discharge holes 61 exceeds 200, the contents are excessively discharged, so that the feeling of customers was bad and the rubber discharge pad 60 does not control a discharge amount of contents.
That is, since the contents are discharged through the discharge holes 61 of the rubber discharge pad 60, when the diameter is formed in the range of 0.01 mm to 1.0 mm and the number of holes is 50 to 200, the feeling of customers was good and the discharge amount of contents was suitably controllable.
The latch part 62 is formed on an end of the rubber discharge pad 60 and is coupled to the latch protrusion 52 of the content container 50, such that the rubber discharge pad 60 may be fixedly coupled to the upper end of the content container 50.
Hereinafter, a method of assembling a foundation container provided with a rubber discharge pad according to an embodiment and a state of using it will be described in detail as follows.
According to the foundation container including the container body 10 and the container cover 20, the inner container 30 is coupled to the inside of the container body 10. The inner container 30 is hinge coupled to the inner container cover 40.
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4, the rubber discharge pad 60 is coupled to the upper end of the content container 50 so that the rubber discharge pad 60 is assembled as shown in FIG. 5. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the content container 50 is fitted into the container body 10 from the lower part of the container body 10, so that the assembly of the foundation container provided with a rubber discharge pad is completed.
To use the contents of the foundation container provided with a rubber discharge pad assembled according to the above method, the rubber discharge pad 60 is pressed with a puff.
When the rubber discharge pad 60 is pushed, the rubber discharge pad 60 is pressed down to the lower part of the content container 50 due to the elasticity of the rubber discharge pad 60, so that the contents contained in the content container 50 may be discharged upward without any residual contents.
In addition, since the rubber discharge pad 60 is coupled to the upper end of the content container 50 to discharge the contents contained in the content container 50 through the discharge holes 61 of the rubber discharge pad 60, a discharging amount of the contents may be controlled according to force of pressing the rubber discharge pad 60 so that the contents are prevented from being wasted.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the impregnation member 70 may further included in the content container 50. When the low-viscosity water-in-oil product having low viscosity remains for a long time in circulation, the aqueous material of internal phase and the oil materials of external phase may be separated from each other. However, when the contents are impregnated to the impregnation member 70, since the contents are contained in a small cell of the impregnation member, the aqueous material and the oil materials of the contents are not separated from each other.
As described above, the foundation container provided with a rubber discharge pad 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 spirit and scope of the present invention and they will fall within the scope of the present invention.
