TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a cosmetics container for preventing a flow of capsule cosmetics. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cosmetics container for preventing a flow of capsule cosmetics, the cosmetics container comprising: capsule cosmetics; a container body for containing the capsule cosmetics; flow prevention protrusions formed on the bottom surface in the container body to prevent a flow of the capsule cosmetics; and a mesh net mounted on the top of the container body so that a user can press and rub, at the same time, the mesh net with a puff to break the capsule cosmetics rubbed by the mesh net, thereby discharging and using a cosmetics material filled in the capsule.
In addition, the present invention relates to a cosmetics container for preventing a flow of capsule cosmetics, in which flow prevention protrusions are formed on a bottom surface of the cosmetics container to prevent the capsule cosmetics from moving around as a puff moves when the puff is rubbed to use the capsule cosmetics in the cosmetics container while a mesh net is pressed.
In addition, the present invention relates to a cosmetics container for preventing a flow of capsule cosmetics, in which a mesh net is mounted on the cosmetic container to prevent the capsule cosmetics from flowing out from the cosmetics container even when the capsule cosmetics are shaken in the cosmetics container as a user carries the capsule cosmetics.
In addition, the present invention relates to a cosmetics container for preventing a flow of capsule cosmetics, in which flow prevention protrusions for preventing the flow of the capsule cosmetics are radially formed on a bottom surface in a container body such that the flow of the capsule cosmetics is reduced even when a user rubs a mesh net with a puff in any directions to apply makeup using the cosmetics container.

BACKGROUND ART

Cosmetics refer to goods, which are used for a human body in order to add charming of the human body and change the appearance of the human body to be brighter, or to maintain or enhance skin or hair in a healthy state by making the human body clean and beautiful, and have a minor effect on the human body. Cosmetics may be substantially classified into solid type, liquid type and gel type.
As a representative example of solid type cosmetics, there are powdered cosmetics. As representative examples of liquid type cosmetics, there are liquid foundation and skin cosmetics. As representative examples of gel type cosmetics, there are a gel foundation, lotions, and cream cosmetics.
The powered cosmetics have a high covering power, but it is disadvantageous that they are lumped in corrective makeup. The liquid foundation has a good adhesion sensation, but its sustainability is weak.
Thus, in recent years, consumers who prefer a gel foundation that has a considerable durability and a good adhesion sensation when applied to the skin have been increased.
In general, a powder includes a container body for containing contents, a puff for stick powder thereon, and a mesh net mounted on an upper portion of the powder. The powder is taken and used with the puff by shaking the container body to allow the powder to be uniformly stuck on the puff through the mesh net.
As one example of the related art, a container body for containing powder has been disclosed in Korean Registered Utility Model No. 20-00227334. As shown in FIG. 1, the related art relates to a powder case for absorbing powder. In detail, the powder case is a powder container including a container body for containing powder, a puff for sticking the powder thereon, a container lid, and a mesh net mounted on an inlet of the container body.
The powder case for absorbing powder allows the powder contained in the container body to be uniformly stuck on the puff when the container body is shaken.
However, according to the related art described above, since the powder is put in the hands every time the user uses the powder, there is inconvenience in use that requires washing hands each time.
In addition, the powder is blown, so that the powder is stuck on not only the handle of the puff but also the bottom surface of the lid, and thus, the container body becomes dirty.
To solve the above problems, there have been disclosed portable cosmetics in Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1477583. As shown in FIG. 2, the related art relates to portable cosmetics having a mesh net. In detail, the portable cosmetics includes an inner container containing an impregnation member into which gel foundation is impregnated, and a mesh net mounted on an upper portion of the impregnation member.
The related art provides portable cosmetics having a mesh net, where gel foundation impregnated into the impregnation member in the inner container is upwardly exposed only when a user gently presses the mesh with a puff after opening a container lid to use it. In addition, since the gel foundation passing through the mesh net is used while being absorbed into the puff, the user may conveniently use an appropriate amount of foundation.
However, if the user fails to close the container lid after using the cosmetics, the gel foundation impregnated into the impregnation member is volatilized. Thus, the gel foundation impregnated into the impregnation member becomes hard so that it is difficult to use the gel foundation.
In addition, when a user carries a cosmetics container in which gel foundation is contained, the gel foundation shakes in the cosmetics container, so that the gel foundation flows out from the impregnation member, thereby contaminating the circumference of the cosmetics container.
In addition, according to the related art, when the gel foundation having various components is kept while being impregnated into the impregnation member, a chemical reaction occurs between the components, thereby deteriorating the effect of the foundation.
To solve the above problems, in recent years, cosmetics made in a capsule form have been developed. The capsule cosmetics refer to cosmetics which are formed in a bead-shaped thin film and filled with gel or liquid cosmetics, where the contents in the capsule are discharged when the thin film is broken to use it. The capsule cosmetics are also referred to as bead cosmetics.
According to the capsule cosmetics, since the capsule is filled with a cosmetic material and the surface is formed in a film type, the capsule cosmetics may prevent the capsule cosmetics from flowing out of the container even when the capsule cosmetics shake in the container while the user carries the capsule cosmetics.
In addition, even when capsule cosmetics having various components are kept in the capsule cosmetics container, since the capsule of the capsule cosmetics is filled with cosmetic materials and the surface is formed of a film, the chemical reaction is prevented from occurring between the capsule cosmetics.
In addition, even if the user fails to fully close the container lid after using the cosmetics, since the film of the capsule cosmetics prevents the cosmetics material filed therein from being volatilized, it is easy for a user to keep the cosmetic product in use.
Thus, there is a need to provide a container for packaging capsule cosmetics which enables the capsule cosmetics to be kept and easily used.

The capsule cosmetics refer to cosmetics which are formed in a bead-shaped thin film and filled with gel or liquid cosmetics, where the contents in the capsule are discharged when the thin film is broken to use it.
A capsule cosmetics containing space 12 is formed inside the container body 10, such that the capsule cosmetics are contained in the capsule cosmetics containing space 12.
An inlet part 14 is formed on an upper portion of the container body 10, and a screw thread is formed on an outer periphery of the inlet part 14 to be screw-coupled with the container lid 20.
The container lid 20 opens and closes the container body 10 while being coupled to the upper portion of the container body. The container lid 20 is formed with the screw thread on an inner periphery of the container lid 20 such that the container lid 20 is screw-coupled with the screw thread formed on the outer periphery of the inlet part 14 of the container body 10.
The mesh net 30 is formed on the upper end of the container body 10 such that the capsule cosmetics contained in the container body 10 are broken, thereby discharging the cosmetic materials filled in the capsule.
The mesh net 30 is mounted on the upper end of the container body 10 while adhering to a mesh net coupling member 50, where the mesh net coupling member 50 includes a mesh net adhesion ring 52, and a mesh net fixing part 54.
The mesh net adhesion ring 52 has a circular ring shape and adheres to a lower portion of the mesh net 30.
The mesh net fixing part 54 includes an adhesion part 542 adhering to the mesh net 30, an upper extension part 544 extending toward an upper portion of the adhesion part 542, and a horizontal extension part 546 extending toward an outside of the upper extension part 544.
An outer periphery of the upper extension part 544 is tightly closed to the inlet part 14 of the container body 10 and the horizontal extension part 546 is mounted on the upper end of the inlet part 14 of the container body 10.
Preferably, the mesh net 30 is preferably thermally bonded, ultrasonic bonded or high-frequency bonded between the mesh net adhesion ring 52 and the mesh net fixing part 54.
The flow prevention protrusion 40 protrudes from the bottom surface of the container body 10 such that the capsule cosmetics contained in the container body 10 is prevented from flowing.
As shown in type A of FIG. 8, the flow prevention protrusion 40 may include a radial protrusion 42 formed on the bottom surface of the container body 10.
The radial protrusion 42 protrudes from the bottom surface of the container body 10 in a triangular shape when viewed from above and an I-shaped groove 43 is formed between adjacent radial protrusions 42.
The radial protrusions 42 are spaced apart from the central portion of the bottom surface by a predetermined distance.
As shown in type B of FIG. 8, the flow prevention protrusion 40 may include a circular protrusion 44 formed on the bottom surface of the container body 10.
The circular protrusions 44 are spaced apart from the central portion of the bottom surface by a predetermined distance and protrude in a circular arc form. The circular protrusions 44 are concentrically arranged.
In addition, as shown in type C of FIG. 8, the flow prevention protrusion 40 may include a radial protrusion 42 and a circular protrusion 44 formed together on the bottom surface of the container body 10, where the circular protrusion 44 is formed on the central portion of the bottom surface and the radial protrusion 42 is formed outside the circular protrusion 44.
The radial projection 42 or the circular projection 44 of the flow prevention protrusion 40 may extend from the bottom surface to the inner surface of the container body 10 to prevent the flow of capsule cosmetics more effectively.
That is, as the capsule cosmetics are used while being contained in the cosmetic container and the capsule cosmetics are used up, a space is created inside the cosmetics container. Thus, when the user presses and rubs the mesh net 30 with a puff, the capsule cosmetics move in the space as the puff moves, so that it is inconvenient to use the capsule cosmetics.
Therefore, according to the cosmetics container far preventing a flow of capsule cosmetics of the present invention, the plurality of radial or circular protrusions 42 or 44 are formed on the bottom surface in the cosmetics container so that the capsule cosmetics are fitted into the groove between the radial or circular protrusions 42 or 44, thereby preventing the capsule cosmetics from flowing.
Preferably, a height h1 or h2 of the radial or circular protrusion 42 or 44 is in the range of 0.2 mm to 2.0 mm.
When the height h1 of the radial projection 42 and the height h2 of the circular protrusion 44 are less than 0.2 mm, the capsule cosmetics accommodated in the container body 10 may move over the radial or circular projection 42 or 44 to flow around. When the height h1 of the radial projection 42 and the height h2 of the circular protrusion 44 exceed 0.2 mm, the capsule cosmetics are inserted into the groove between the radial or circular protrusions 42 or 44, so that the capsule cosmetics may not be broken.
In addition, the groove is formed between the radial protrusions 42 and a width w1 of the groove is preferably in the range of 1.0 mm to 5.0 mm.
When the width w1 of the groove is less than 1.0 mm, the width w1 of the groove is smaller than the diameter of the capsule cosmetics, so that the capsule cosmetics do not enter the groove to move around. When the width w1 of the groove exceeds 5.0 mm, the width w1 of the groove is excessively larger than the diameter of the capsule cosmetics so that the capsule cosmetics flow freely in the groove.
In addition, the interval w2 between the concentric circles of the circular protrusions 44 is preferably in the range of 1.0 mm to 5.0 mm.
When the interval w2 between the concentric circles is less than 1.0 mm, the interval w2 between the concentric circles is less than the diameter of the capsule cosmetics, so that the capsule cosmetics are not inserted into the interval w2, thereby causing the capsule cosmetics to flow. When the interval w2 between the concentric circles exceeds 5.0 mm, the interval w2 between the concentric circles is excessively larger than the diameter of the capsule cosmetics, so that capsule cosmetics flow freely in the groove.
As shown in FIG. 9, an outer container 70 and an outer container lid 80 hinge-coupled with the outer container 70 to be opened or closed may be further formed on an outside of the container body 10.
That is, according to the cosmetics container for preventing a flow of capsule cosmetics of the present invention, the flow prevention protrusion 40 may be formed in a conventional compact container. The compact container may include an outer container 70, an outer container lid 80 hinge-coupled with the outer container to be opened or closed, a container body 10 containing capsule cosmetics, a container lid 20 hinge-coupled with the container body 10 to be opened or closed, and a flow prevention protrusion formed on a bottoms surface of the container body 10 to prevent the capsule cosmetics from flowing.
Hereinafter, methods of assembling and using the cosmetics container for preventing a flow of capsule cosmetics according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, to assemble the cosmetics container for preventing a flow of capsule cosmetics according to the present invention, the mesh net coupling member 50 adheres to the mesh net 30, where the mesh net 30 is thermally bonded, ultrasonic bonded or high-frequency bonded between the upper surface of the mesh net adhesion ring 52 and the adhesion part 542 of the mesh net fixing part 54.
Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the container body 10 formed with the flow prevention protrusion 40 on the inner bottom surface thereof is filled with the capsule cosmetics. The mesh net coupling member 50 bonded to the mesh net 30 is mounted on the upper portion of the container body 10, where the outer periphery of the upper extension part 544 of the mesh net fixing member 54 is tightly closed to the inner periphery of the container body 10 and the horizontal extension part 546 is placed on the upper end of the inlet part 14 of the container body 10.
Last, the container lid 20 is coupled to the upper portion of the container body 10, so that the assembly of the cosmetics container for preventing a flow of capsule cosmetics according to the present invention is completed.
According to the cosmetics container for preventing a flow of capsule cosmetics of the present invention, in a case that the flow prevention protrusion 40 is formed on the compact container, the container body 10 assembled as described above is installed in the outer container 70 hinge-coupled with the outer container lid 80.
To use the cosmetics container for preventing a flow of capsule cosmetics assembled as described above, when the upper surface of the mesh net 30 is rubbed from side to side with a cosmetic tool such as a puff while being pressed on the upper surface of the mesh net 30 after the container lid 20 is first separated from the container body 10 as shown in FIG. 7, the capsule cosmetics rubbed with the mesh net 30 are broken so that the cosmetic material filled in the capsule is discharged upwardly of the mesh net 30.
According to the cosmetics container for preventing a flow of capsule cosmetics of the present invention, when the flow prevention protrusion 40 is formed on the compact container, as shown in FIG. 9, the outer container lid 80 is first opened from the outer container 70 and the container lid 20 is opened from the container body 10. Then, when the upper surface of the mesh net 30 is rubbed from side to side with a cosmetic tool such as a puff while being pressed on the upper surface of the mesh net 30, the capsule cosmetics rubbed with the mesh net 30 are broken, so that the cosmetic material filled in the capsule is discharged upwardly of the mesh net 30.
As the capsule cosmetics are used so that the capsule cosmetics are used up, a space is created in the cosmetics container. Thus, even though the mesh net 30 is pressed, the capsule cosmetics flows in the space, so that the capsule cosmetics are not easily broken. According to the cosmetics container for preventing a flow of capsule cosmetics of the present invention, since the flow prevention protrusion 40 formed on the bottom surface in the container body 10, when a user applies makeup, even though the mesh net 30 is rubbed with a puff in any directions, the flow of the capsule cosmetics is small so that the capsule cosmetics are easily broken.
As described above, the cosmetics container for preventing a flow of capsule cosmetics 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.
