COSMETIC VESSEL WITH DROPPER
Technical Field
The present invention relates, in general, to cosmetic vessels for cosmetics prepared by mixing powder with toilet water and, more particularly, to a cosmetic vessel with a dropper, which allows a process of mixing powder with toilet water to be easily performed, and prevents unnecessary resource waste due to use of disposable components.
Background Art
Generally, various types of cosmetics, including toilet water, gel, face cream, powder, and others, have been used. As well known to people, recently, functional cosmetics prepared by mixing toilet water with powder have been increasingly used.
A conventional cosmetic vessel for cosmetics used after mixing toilet water with powder includes a water vessel, a powder vessel, and a cap equipped with a dropper. The water vessel has a predetermined capacity to hold toilet water therein, and is provided with an upper cap. The powder vessel is separately provided on an upper end of the water vessel, and stores the powder therein. The cap
with the dropper opens or closes the mouth of the water vessel when the powder has been mixed with the toilet water. The dropper is mounted to the center of the cap to allow a user to use the cosmetic by dipping the dropper into the cosmetic.
In the conventional cosmetic vessel constructed as described above, the upper cap of the water vessel is opened, and then the powder vessel is broken to mix the powder in the powder vessel with the toilet water in the water vessel. Thereafter, the cap with the dropper is coupled to the mouth of the water vessel to allow the user to use the cosmetic.
However, the conventional cosmetic vessel has a problem in that several components are separately provided and the powder vessel and the upper cap must be thrown away, thus wasting resources, and increasing manufacturing costs of the cosmetic vessel.
The conventional cosmetic vessel has another problem in that it is complicated to mix the powder with the toilet water. Further, while pouring the powder into the water vessel, loss of powder may occur. Therefore, the above- mentioned problems must be settled immediately.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a cosmetic vessel with a dropper according to the present invention includes a water vessel 10 having a predetermined capacity, a cap 20 having a powder reservoir 22, a closing plate 30 to close the powder reservoir, a dropper barrel 40, and a dropper bulb 50.
In this case, the water vessel 10 has a shape of a cylinder with a predetermined capacity to hold a predetermined amount of toilet water, with a mouth being provided at an upper end of the cylinder. The mouth of the water vessel 10 has a predetermined diameter to allow the powder reservoir 22 to be inserted into the mouth. An
external threaded part is provided on an outer circumferential surface of the mouth to engage with the cap 20 through a screw-type fastening method.
The cap 20 engages with the mouth of the water vessel 10 through the screw-type fastening method so as to prevent loss of the contents. An internal threaded part is provided on an inner circumferential surface of the cap 20.
Further, the powder reservoir 22 is integrally provided inside the internal threaded part, and stores a predetermined amount of powder to be mixed with the toilet water. That is, the powder reservoir 22 has a cylindrical shape with a predetermined diameter to fit inside the mouth of the water vessel 10, when the cap 20 engages with the water vessel 10 through the screw-type fastening method. In this case, an annular locking protrusion 24 is provided around a lower end of the powder reservoir 22 to be coupled to the closing plate 30.
A fitting hole 26 is bored in a center of the cap 20 so that the dropper barrel 40 passes through the cap 20. An outer circumference of the fitting hole 26 protrudes from the cap 20 by a predetermined height to more efficiently support the dropper barrel 40, and to allow the dropper bulb 50 to be firmly coupled to the cap 20.
The closing plate 30 is coupled to the lower end of the powder reservoir 22 to prevent the powder from escaping from the powder reservoir 22, and is dropped from the
powder reservoir 22 when the dropper barrel 40 is pushed. Further, an annular locking groove 32 is provided around an outside edge of the closing plate 30 to correspond to the locking protrusion 24 provided around the lower end of the powder reservoir 22, so that the locking protrusion 24 is fitted into the locking groove 32 through a force-fitting method.
Meanwhile, a fitting hole 34 is bored in a center of the closing plate 30 to be in close contact with a pushing step 44 provided around an upper portion of the dropper barrel 40, when the dropper barrel 40 is inserted into the fitting hole 34.
The dropper barrel 40 has a shape of a tube, which has a predetermined length and a smaller diameter at a lower end of the tube. The dropper barrel 40 is inserted into both the fitting holes 26 and 34 provided at the centers of the cap 20 and the closing plate 30 to be coupled to the cap 20 and the closing plate 30.
At this time, an upper end of the dropper barrel 40 is positioned above the fitting hole 26 of the cap 20 to be spaced apart from an upper end of the fitting hole 26 by a predetermined height D, with a stop ring 42 being provided around an outer circumference of the upper end of the dropper barrel 40. In order to drop the closing plate 30 from the powder reservoir 22, the dropper barrel 40 is pushed to be moved downward by a predetermined length D.
When the dropper barrel 40 has moved by the predetermined length D, the stop ring 42 comes into close contact with the upper end of the fitting hole 26, thus preventing the dropper barrel 40 from moving any more. Further, the pushing step 44 with an annular shape projects from the outer circumferential surface of the dropper barrel 40 at a position corresponding to the closing plate 30, so that the dropper barrel 40 is in close contact with an upper end of the fitting hole 34 of the closing plate 30. Thus, when the dropper barrel 40 is pushed so that the dropper barrel 40 moves by the predetermined height D, the pushing step 44 pushes the closing plate 30 to drop the closing plate 30 from the lower end of the powder reservoir 22. The dropper bulb 50 is made of soft rubber. By the pressure of air in a hollow portion of the dropper bulb 50, contents are drawn from the water vessel 10 or released out of the dropper barrel 40. In a detailed description, a lower end of the dropper bulb 50 is coupled to the fitting hole 26 of the cap 20, while the upper end of the dropper barrel 40 is received in the dropper bulb 50. In such a state, the dropper bulb 50 is compressed to push the dropper barrel 40, and then the contents are drawn into the dropper barrel 40 by compressing and expanding the dropper bulb 50. The contents drawn into the dropper barrel 40 are applied to skin, such as the back of a user's hand.
The cosmetic vessel with the dropper constructed as described above is operated as shown in FIG. 3.
At first, the cosmetic vessel with the dropper is provided as follows. That is, the powder is stored in the powder reservoir 22 provided inside the cap 20, and the closing plate 30 closes the lower end of the powder reservoir 22. Further, the dropper barrel 40 is inserted into the fitting holes 26 and 34 of the cap 20 and the closing plate 30 in such a way that the stop ring 42 provided around the upper end of the dropper barrel 40 is spaced apart from the upper end of the fitting hole 26 of the cap 20 by the predetermined height D. Further, a predetermined amount of toilet water is stored in the water vessel 10, and the dropper bulb 50 is coupled to a center of a top of the cap 20 while receiving the upper end of the dropper barrel 40 therein.
Such a cosmetic vessel with the dropper is more easily packed and distributed and marketed, compared to a conventional cosmetic vessel constructed so that a powder vessel and an upper cap are separately provided. Further, the cosmetic vessel with the dropper prevents an increase in manufacturing costs, and prevents productivity from being deteriorated, due to the powder vessel and the upper cap being separately provided. Next, in order to mix the powder with the toilet water, a user compresses an upper portion of the dropper
bulb 50 to push the upper end of the dropper barrel 40 housed in the dropper bulb 50. At this time, the dropper barrel 40 moves downward by the predetermined height D, and simultaneously, the pushing step 44 pushes the closing plate 30. Thus, the locking protrusion 24 provided around the lower end of the powder reservoir 22 disengages from the locking groove 32 provided around the outside edge of the closing plate 30. At this time, the powder stored in the powder reservoir 22 falls into the water vessel 10. In this case, the stop ring 42 provided around the upper end of the dropper barrel 40 comes into close contact with the upper end of the fitting hole 26, so that the dropper barrel 40 does not move any more.
After the powder is mixed with the toilet water, the cap 20 is opened to remove the closing plate 30 from the dropper barrel 40, thus ensuring smooth use of the cosmetic vessel.
As such, in the state where the powder reservoir 22 is housed in the water vessel 10, the dropper barrel is pushed. At this time, the closing plate 30 is dropped from the lower end of the powder reservoir 22, so that the powder is mixed with the toilet water. Thus, the cosmetic vessel of this invention is convenient to use, in addition to preventing loss of the powder. Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been disclosed for illustrative purposes,
those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
Industrial Applicability
As described above, the present invention provides a cosmetic vessel with a dropper, which is constructed so that a powder reservoir is housed in a water vessel, and a closing plate is easily dropped from the powder reservoir by pushing a dropper barrel, thus allowing the powder to be more easily mixed with toilet water, and preventing loss of the powder during the mixing process.
Further, the present invention simplifies construction of the cosmetic vessel, and reduces disposable components that are undesirably thrown away, thus preventing resource waste, enhancing productivity, and reducing manufacturing costs of the cosmetic vessel.
