2 and 3; Cosmetic containers according to the present invention can be used by discharging a small amount of the cosmetic liquid by applying a piston mechanism; A container body (100) in which a gel (GEL) or cream type cosmetic liquid (L) is contained and stored, a screw rod (200; SCREW ROD) disposed in the container body 100 so as to be idling, and the screw rod. Tube-shaped rubber-brush 300 is fitted in the longitudinal direction at the top of the 200 and screw rod 200 is disposed in the middle of the cylinder 110, gradually descending from the cosmetic liquid (L) screw rod ( 200) the piston unit 400 for discharging to the upper side, the rotary knob 500 for rotating the screw rod 200 from the outside, and the rubber-brush 300 disposed to be exposed from the container body 100 It is equipped with an over-cap 700 for protection. Hereinafter will be described in detail each component constituting the cosmetic container according to the present invention.

3 and 4; The container body 100 forms the outer shape of the cosmetic container, and the cosmetic liquid L is contained and stored therein, and the cylinder 110 having an open top is provided in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the piston unit 400 is brought into close contact with the wall of the cylinder 110, and the cosmetic liquid L is discharged by being delivered with a lowering pressure of the piston unit 400. And the upper portion of the container body 100 is provided with a cylindrical rotary support portion 120, which is to rotatably couple the rotary knob (500).

Screw rod 200 is coupled to the rotary support portion 120 of the container body 100 so that the upper end is rotatably fitted through the cylindrical rotating member 210, the lower end is disposed to extend to the bottom of the container body 100. Cylindrical rotating member 210 is for mounting the upper end of the screw rod 200 to the rotation support portion 120 of the container body 100 to be idling, integrally formed on the upper end of the screw rod 200 and rotated on the outer wall A plurality of engagement protrusions 211 for tooth engagement with the knob 500 are provided at regular intervals. The screw rod 200 is formed with a screw thread having a constant pitch along the outer periphery, the discharge passage 220 is formed in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the cosmetic liquid (L) is able to escape to the outside through the discharge flow path 220 of the screw rod 200.

In addition, the rubber-brush 300 is gradually reduced in diameter from the lower side to the upper side, and the discharge hole 310 is formed in the form of a soft tube in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, when the lower end of the rubber brush (300) is inserted into the upper end of the screw rod 200, the discharge passage 220 and the outlet 310 of the screw rod 200 is linked. In addition, the upper end of the rubber-brush 300 is made of an inclined surface 320, which is to facilitate the application of the cosmetic liquid (L) to be discharged. The rubber brush 300 is preferably composed of a silicon material that is harmless to the human body and has excellent elastic restoring force. In addition, the outward flange 330 is provided at the lower end of the rubber brush 300 so as to protrude in the circumferential direction and is in close contact with the rotary knob 500, which will be described in detail in the rotary knob 500 configuration.

And the piston unit 400 is to be mounted in the middle of the screw rod 200 by the screw coupling method, the screw rod 200 together with the rotating member 210 in the forward direction (see the direction of the arrow in Figs. 2 and 6). As it rotates, the cylinder body descends while being in close contact with the wall of the cylinder 110 of the body 100. To this end, the piston unit 400 is made of hard synthetic resin and the screw-hole 200 is a piston-body 410 is processed in the center portion so that the screw rod 200 is engaged with the piston-body 410 of the It is made to surround the bottom and side, the bottom of the through-hole 421 is perforated to penetrate the screw rod 200 and the outer wall is a soft contact member 420 in close contact with the wall surface of the cylinder 110 of the container body 100 Consists of The close contact member 420 constituting the piston unit 420 is preferably made of a silicon material excellent in adhesion to the wall surface of the cylinder (110). Therefore, when the screw rod 200 is idling in the forward direction (see the arrow direction in Figure 2) inside the container body 100, the piston unit 400 is lowered along the cylinder 110 wall surface of the container body 100 to the container The cosmetic liquid L stored in the main body 100 is discharged through the discharge passage 220 of the screw rod 200.

4 and 5; The rotary knob 500 (KNOB) is assembled to the rotary support portion 210 of the container body 100 to operate the screw rod 200 together with the rotary member 210, the upper end of the rubber-brush 300 The through hole 510 is perforated so that the upper end portion is exposed to the outside, and the wall surface has a cylindrical shape in which the upper and lower portions are opened through the synthetic resin so as to cover the rotation support part 120 of the container body 100 from the outside. The inner wall surface of the rotary knob 500 is engaged with the rotating member 210 to rotate the screw rod 200 from the outside. The coupling jaw 511 is stepped on the inner wall of the through hole 510 of the rotary knob 500 so that the outward flange 330 of the rubber brush 300 is caught and tightly coupled. Therefore, when the rotary knob 500 is assembled to the container body in the state where the rubber brush 300 is assembled at the upper end of the scroll rod 200, the outward flange 330 of the rubber brush 300 is a through hole 510. Close to the coupling jaw 511 of the inner wall to completely block the gap, thereby preventing the cosmetic liquid (L) leakage to the unnecessary place.

Meanwhile, in order to prevent the rotary knob 500 from falling out of the container body 100, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the wall 130 of the rotary support part 120 of the container body 100 is hung in the circumferential direction. ) Is provided to protrude, and the locking groove 520 to receive the engaging frame 130 is coupled to the bottom inner wall of the rotary knob 500 is provided in a concave shape. Therefore, when the rotary knob 500 is inserted into the container body 100 and coupled to the upper portion, the rotary knob 500 is engaged with the rotary member 210 and at the same time, the locking frame 130 in the locking groove 520 is unevenly coupled. To be combined. As a result, the rotary knob 500 may rotate the screw rod 200 in the forward and reverse directions together with the rotating member 210 without being separated from the upper portion of the container body 100.

4 and 6, the rotary knob 500 lowers the piston unit 400 between the lower end of the wall surface of the rotary knob 500 and the wall surface of the rotary support 120 of the container body 100. A click member 600 (CLICK) for properly rotating in the forward direction is provided. The click member 600 is for recognizing the degree of rotation by holding the rotary knob 500 through the hearing and the rotation load, two click teeth provided to protrude at intervals of 180 degrees on the lower inner wall of the rotary knob 500 ( 610 and one click protrusion 620 provided to protrude so as to engage with the click tooth 610 on the outer wall of the rotation support portion 120 of the container body 100. Two toothed teeth 610 are formed in the bottom inner wall of the rotary knob 500 with a substantially triangular cross-section at intervals of 180 degrees, so that each time the rotary knob 500 is rotated by 180 degrees, one of the click protrusions ( 620) and make a "click" sound.

Therefore, when the user applies a force to rotate the rotary knob 500, whenever the click tooth 610 goes over the click projection 620, the user can feel a slight load in the rotation operation while making a "click" sound. At this time, the lower end portion of the rotary knob 500 is required to have a slight elastic deformation in the radial direction, which is possible because the rotary knob 500 is made of a synthetic resin that can be elastically deformed. Although the 610 has been described as being configured in two at 180-degree intervals, but not limited to this, if three or more are configured at regular intervals, the operation of the rotary knob 500 can be further refined.

On the other hand, the over-cap 700 is to cover the top of the rotary knob 500 with the rubber-brush 300 after finishing the use of the cosmetic, as shown in Figure 3 and 4, the guide pin 710 on the ceiling ) Is provided to protrude downward. Therefore, when the over-cap 700 is covered, the guide pin 710 is inserted into the top of the outlet 310 of the rubber brush (300) to maintain the rubber brush (300) upright.

First, if the user wants to use cosmetics separate the over-cap 700 from the container body 100.

In this state, the container body 100 is held by one hand, and the rotary knob 500 is held by the other hand and rotated in a forward direction (see arrow R direction in FIG. 7). According to the forward rotation of the rotary knob 500, the screw rod 200 with the rotating member 210 is idling in the interior of the container body (100).

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, the piston unit 400 descends linearly along the thread of the screw rod 200 while being in close contact with the wall of the cylinder 110, thereby generating pressure in the cylinder 110. The cosmetic liquid L contained in the main body 100 exits to the rubber-brush 500 side through the discharge passage 220 of the screw rod 200 made of a hollow body.

That is, as the rotary knob 500 is rotated in the forward direction (arrow R direction), the cosmetic liquid L is discharged through the discharge passage 220 of the screw rod 200 and the discharge port 310 of the rubber brush 300. It is discharged to the inclined surface 320. Therefore, the user may directly apply the cosmetic liquid L on the inclined surface 320 of the rubber brush 300 to the lips and the like.

In addition, since the piston unit 400 in close contact with the wall of the cylinder 110 does not descend unless the rotary knob 500 is arbitrarily rotated, the cosmetic liquid L may leak even when the container body 100 is lifted upside down. Does not spill

Each time the rotary knob 500 is rotated 180 degrees or more, the click tooth 610 goes beyond the click protrusion 620 while making a "click" sound. Accordingly, the user can appropriately rotate the rotary knob 500 while listening to the "click" sound generated while the rotary knob 500 rotates, and prevents the cosmetic liquid L from being excessively leaked. . The click sound of the click tooth 610 as described above occurs even when the rotary knob 500 is operated in a reverse direction by 180 degrees or more. Therefore, when the rotary knob 500 is rotated by 1 to 2 clicks in the reverse direction after finishing use, a negative pressure is generated, and the cosmetic liquid L remaining in the outlet 310 of the rubber brush 300 is sucked, Further leakage of the cosmetic liquid (L) can be reliably prevented.

The present invention can be widely used in the field of cosmetic containers that can be used to discharge a small amount of the gel or cream-type cosmetic liquid contained in the container.
