Description

cosmetic containers

This application is a divisional application of the international application with the Chinese national phase entry date of January 13, 2016, application number 201580001331.X, and invention name “Cosmetic Container”.

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a cosmetic container, and more particularly to a cosmetic container in which cosmetics are discharged through a plurality of discharge ports formed on a discharge plate, and a user rubs the cosmetics on the discharge plate with a powder puff before use.

Background Art

Generally, widely used solid cosmetics such as foundation or liquid cosmetics such as sunblock have the effects of protecting the skin, making the skin radiant, and improving wrinkles, etc. At this time, users can use a powder puff dipped in cosmetics and apply it on the skin.

In the case of a powder puff, it can be sold housed in a cosmetic container. Typically, the powder puff is housed inside the lid of the cosmetic container. Therefore, to apply cosmetics, the user opens the lid to pull out the powder puff, and then, while holding an elastic cord attached to the puff between their fingers, brings the puff into contact with the cosmetics, thereby applying a predetermined amount of cosmetics to the puff.

In this case, the user needs to bring the puff into direct contact with the cosmetics. Depending on the pressure applied by the user with the puff, more cosmetics than necessary may end up on the puff, potentially wasting the puff. Consequently, a method has recently been developed in which the cosmetics are impregnated in a sponge or the like. When the user presses the sponge with the puff, the liquid cosmetics that have penetrated the sponge are discharged and supplied to the puff.

However, similar to existing cosmetic containers, this conventional cosmetic container may cause more cosmetics than necessary to adhere to the puff depending on the pressure with which the user applies pressure to the sponge. Furthermore, if the user accidentally applies excessive pressure to the sponge, the cosmetics may adhere not only to the surface of the puff that directly contacts the skin but also to the surface adjacent to the user's fingers, causing significant inconvenience to the user.

Furthermore, conventionally, users dipped cosmetics impregnated with a sponge into a powder puff, brought the cosmetics into contact with their face and other skin to apply the cosmetics. Repeatedly pressing the powder puff against the impregnated sponge can cause serious contamination of the cosmetics due to viruses, mold, and bacteria present on the skin. Furthermore, contaminating microorganisms within the cosmetics can continue to grow until the cosmetics are used up, causing continued product contamination and ultimately leading to skin irritation, skin problems, skin allergies, and odor. When users experience these inconveniences, they tend to avoid using cosmetics, and products they use for beauty purposes can lead to personal hygiene and skin problems, leading to significant dissatisfaction.

In order to protect cosmetics from such microbial contamination and ensure their safe use, it is preferable to adopt a structure that minimizes contact between the contents and external contamination sources. In addition, it is necessary to use the amount used while maintaining the remaining amount of cosmetics in a safe and microbial-free storage state.

The solution and review of this problem is an issue that needs to be addressed seriously. Without such a fundamental solution, if cosmetics are recommended for beauty purposes, serious skin side effects may be experienced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following detailed description and preferred embodiments, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further clarify the objectives, specific advantages, and novel features of the present invention.

Furthermore, in describing the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known technology may obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 and 2 are perspective views of cosmetic containers according to first to ninth embodiments of the present invention. FIG1 shows a state where a cover 180 is attached, and FIG2 shows a state where the cover 180 is removed.

3 is an exploded perspective view of the cosmetic container according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the cosmetic container according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

1 to 4 , a cosmetic container 11 according to a first embodiment of the present invention includes a container body 110 , a pump 120 , a guide plate 130 , a mesh member 140 , a discharge plate 150 , a rim 160 , a housing 170 , and a cover 180 .

Cosmetics are stored in the container body 110. The cosmetics stored in the container body 110 can be discharged to the outside by a pump 120 described later. In this case, the cosmetics may include liquid cosmetics.

The container body 110 includes a lower body 112 and an upper body 111. The container body 110 can be sealed by combining the lower body 112 with the upper body 111. The container body 110 is divided into a lower part and an upper part to facilitate the storage of cosmetics in the container body 110.

Specifically, the lower body 112 has an internally concave shape. In order to store cosmetics, if cosmetics are first filled into the interior of the lower body 112 and the upper body 111 and the upper part of the lower body 112 are combined so that the upper body 111 covers the lower body 112, the cosmetics can be easily filled into the container body 110.

Of course, this embodiment is not limited to the container body 110 being formed of the lower body 112 and the upper body 111. An additional cosmetic supply opening (not shown) may be formed in the container body 110. After the cosmetics are received within the container body 110 through the opening, the opening is sealed, thereby allowing the container body 110 to be filled with cosmetics. In other words, this embodiment does not particularly limit the shape or structure of the container body 110; any shape of container body may be used as long as a space capable of receiving cosmetics is formed.

The container body 110 may be provided with a pump 120 , specifically, the pump 120 may be provided at the center of the upper portion of the container body 110 . Therefore, the cosmetics contained in the container body 110 may be discharged upward from the container body 110 by the pump 120 .

A pressure plate 113 may be formed inside the container body 110. This plate prevents damage to the container body 110 due to a decrease in internal pressure caused by a reduction in volume when the cosmetics contained in the container body 110 are discharged using the pump 120. Specifically, as the cosmetics are discharged, the pressure plate 113 descends, thereby maintaining a predetermined pressure within the space containing the cosmetics. To allow the pressure plate 113 to descend, an air inlet 114 may be formed in the upper portion of the container to allow air to flow in from the outside.

The pump 120 is mounted on the container body 110 and is used to discharge cosmetics to the outside. The pump 120 may be a vacuum pump that draws in liquid cosmetics contained within the container body 110 and discharges them toward the top of the container body 110, which is the exterior of the container body 110. The discharged cosmetics then pass through the guide plate 130, mesh member 140, and discharge plate 150 (described later) to be released to the outside, where they are accessible to the user's puff.

The pump 120 may include a cylinder 121, a piston 122, and a lifting member 123. The cylinder 121 is coupled to the central portion of the container body 110 with a hollow portion 1211 and may be integrally formed with the container body 110. A piston 122 and a piston ring 124 may be disposed within the cylinder 121. A first hole 1212 may be formed at the bottom of the cylinder 121 for the inflow of cosmetics.

The piston 122 is disposed within the cylinder 121 and moves up and down to discharge the cosmetics within the container body 110 to the outside/upper portion. A hollow 1221 may be formed within the piston 122 for the cosmetics to pass through, and a flange 1223 may be provided on the lower surface of the piston 122 to protrude outward. Furthermore, a second hole 1222 may be formed on the outer circumference of the piston 122 for the cosmetics to flow in.

A piston ring 124 is provided on the outer circumference of piston 122, sealing the space between piston 122 and cylinder 121. The outer side of piston ring 124 can contact cylinder 121, while the inner side of piston ring 124 can contact piston 122 or a lifting member 123 (described later). Piston ring 124 can move up and down using piston 122 and lifting member 123. Upward movement of piston ring 124 is achieved by flange 1223 and is restricted by lifting member 123. Downward movement of piston ring 124 is achieved by lifting member 123 and is restricted by flange 1223.

The lifting member 123 is coupled to the upper portion of the piston 122, and when it is lowered by an external force, it pressurizes the piston 122. The lifting member 123 can surround the upper portion of the piston 122 and be coupled to the piston 122, allowing the lifting member 123 to move up and down together with the piston 122. A piston ring 124 can be coupled to the lower side of the lifting member 123.

A piston ring 124 may be provided between the lifting member 123 and the cylinder 121. To further seal the pump 120, the pump 120 may further include a sealing member 125. The sealing member 125 surrounds the outside of the cylinder 121 and covers a portion of the upper portion of the cylinder 121. The sealing member 125 may be closely attached to the lower portion of the lifting member 123.

Furthermore, the pump 120 may further include an elastic member 126 to provide an upward elastic force to the lifting member 123 and the piston 122. The elastic member 126 may be a spring, and the upper end of the elastic member 126 may be in close contact with the lower surface of the lifting member 123, and the lower end of the elastic member 126 may be in close contact with the upper surface of the cylinder 121 or the sealing member 125, thereby pushing the lifting member 123 upward.

The following describes the operating principle of pump 120. First, when lifting member 123 descends, piston 122 also descends. However, piston ring 124 does not descend due to friction with the inner surface of cylinder 121. As a result, second hole 1222 formed in the outer circumferential surface of piston 122 detaches from piston ring 124, thereby communicating with the interior space of cylinder 121.

At this point, as lifting member 123 continues to descend, piston ring 124 is pressed down by lifting member 123, decreasing the volume of the interior of cylinder 121 and increasing the pressure therein. Consequently, the cosmetics in the increased pressure within cylinder 121 are discharged along the interior of piston 122 through second hole 1222 on the outer circumferential surface of piston 122, which communicates with the interior of cylinder 121. In this case, pump 120 may be equipped with a backflow prevention member 127 in first hole 1212, formed in the lower center portion of cylinder 121, to prevent backflow of the cosmetics.

On the contrary, when the lifting member 123 is lifted by the elastic member 126 , the piston ring 124 is stopped by friction with the inner surface of the cylinder 121 as when it is lowered, and is lifted by the flange 1223 of the piston 122 .

At this point, if piston ring 124 is in close contact with flange 1223 of piston 122, it closes second hole 1222 on the outer circumferential surface of piston 122. Furthermore, as piston ring 124 rises, the volume of the interior of cylinder 121 increases, placing the interior of cylinder 121 in a low-pressure state. Consequently, the cosmetics contained in container body 110 naturally flow into cylinder 121. By repeating this process, pump 120 can discharge the cosmetics contained in container body 110 to the outside.

Of course, the present embodiment does not limit the structure of the pump 120 to the above-described structure. In addition to the vacuum pump, the pump 120 can also be used in various ways. In other words, the pump 120 can use any structure as long as it can discharge the cosmetics in the container body 110.

In addition, in this embodiment, a sponge impregnated with liquid cosmetics may be used instead of the pump 120 as the discharge unit. The sponge is pressurized by a guide plate 130 and the like, and the cosmetics contained in the sponge are discharged to the outside through a discharge port 131 of the guide plate 130.

In this case, the sponge may be composed of at least one selected from the group consisting of polyamide, polyester, polyether, polyurethane, polyethylene, polystyrene, polyolefin, polyvinyl alcohol, polyamide, polyester, polypropylene, polyacrylic acid, polyvinyl chloride, epoxy resin, sponge, nylon, cotton, non-woven fabric, and the like.

The guide plate 130 is coupled to the upper portion of the pump 120 to guide the cosmetics discharged by the pump 120. The guide plate 130 can be disposed between the pump 120 and a net member 140 (described later) and coupled to the lifting member 123 of the pump 120. Lowering the guide plate 130 can lower the lifting member 123.

The guide plate 130 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 5 .

Figure 5 is a top view of the guide plate of the cosmetic container according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 5 , the guide plate 130 of the cosmetic container 11 according to the first embodiment of the present invention may have a discharge port 131 at a position corresponding to the outlet of the pump 120. The outlet of the pump 120 is the hollow portion 1221 of the piston 22, and the discharge port 131 may be located in the center of the guide plate 130.

The guide plate 130 may also include discharge channels 132, which are connected to the discharge port 131 and are formed radially with the discharge port 131 as the center. Cosmetics are discharged toward the discharge port 131 of the guide plate 130 through the internal cavity 1221 of the piston 122. However, the discharge port 151 may not be formed at a position corresponding to the discharge port 131 on the discharge plate 150 (described later). In other words, the upward movement of the cosmetics discharged upward through the discharge port 131 of the guide plate 130 is blocked by the discharge plate 150.

At this time, the cosmetics flow radially along the discharge passage 132 . The discharge port 131 is not connected to the outside in order to prevent the cosmetics from being discharged only in the center of the discharge plate 150 when the pump 120 is operating.

The discharge channels 132 can be formed in a plurality in a radial pattern. In the figure, eight are shown, but in the present invention, the number of the discharge channels 132 is not limited to 8. However, the discharge channels 132 can be formed in a radially symmetrical shape to uniformly discharge the cosmetics.

Furthermore, the guide plate 130 may also include an edge channel 133 formed around the discharge channel 132. Cosmetics are discharged by the pump 120 and flow through the discharge channel 132. If more cosmetics than necessary are discharged, the cosmetics may leak along the outer surface of the guide plate 130, potentially contaminating the container body 110 and other parts. Furthermore, the cosmetics may stain the hands of the user holding the container, causing discomfort. Therefore, in this embodiment, the edge channel 133 is formed around the discharge channel 132. If cosmetics overflow from the discharge channel 132, the edge channel 133 can block the cosmetics and prevent them from leaking.

In this case, the edge channel 133 may be separated from the discharge channel 132 so as not to communicate with the discharge channel 132. The discharge channel 132 may be radially shaped, and the edge channel 133 may be in a flower shape or a circular shape, etc., surrounding the radial discharge channel 132. That is, when viewed from above, the edge channel 133 may be convex outward in the portion where the discharge channel 132 is formed, and convex inward in the portion where the discharge channel 132 is not formed.

A sealing member 134 is placed in the edge channel 133. The sealing member 134 can be formed of a material such as rubber and, like the edge channel 133, can have a flower shape or a circular shape. Since the sealing member 134 is placed in the edge channel 133, even if cosmetics reach the edge channel 133, they are blocked by the sealing member 134 and may not be discharged outside the guide plate 130.

In this embodiment, the guide plate 130 may further include a circular auxiliary edge channel 138 (see FIG12 ) outside the edge channel 133. In this case, a circular sealing material 139 (see FIG12 ) may be provided in the circular auxiliary edge channel. The circular sealing material is made of a foamed material such as foam rubber or foamed urethane, and together with the sealing member 134, prevents cosmetic leakage. Therefore, in this embodiment, the sealing member 134 provided in the edge channel 133 can provide a first seal, and the sealing material provided in the auxiliary edge channel can provide a second seal. This double-sealed structure completely prevents cosmetics discharged from the pump 120 from leaking to the outside.

However, the guide plate 130 of the present invention can form a diffusion space, which can be used in place of or in conjunction with the discharge channel 132 to allow cosmetics to be discharged from the pump 120 without leaking into the discharge port 151 of the discharge plate 150. In this case, the diffusion space can be a disk-shaped space, for example, and can have various shapes that communicate with the discharge port 151. This allows cosmetics leaking from the outlet of the pump 120 to be appropriately distributed toward the discharge port 151. Therefore, by providing the diffusion space in place of the discharge channel 132, the guide plate 130 can function as a diffuser.

Mesh member 140 is positioned on the cosmetic discharge side of pump 120. At least a portion of mesh member 140 is formed. Mesh member 140 is positioned above pump 120, specifically, on the upper surface of the guide portion. Guide plate 130 may be formed with guide ribs 135 to accommodate mesh member 140, and mesh member 140 may be positioned within guide ribs 135 of guide plate 130.

The mesh member 140 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 6 .

Figure 6 is a top view of the mesh member of the cosmetic container according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 6, a recess 142 is formed on one side of the mesh member 140 of the cosmetic container 11 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and a protrusion 136 is formed inside the guide rib 135 of the guide plate 130. When the recess 142 and the protrusion 136 engage, the mesh member 140 can be positioned within the guide rib 135. Specifically, when the mesh member 140 is coupled to the guide member, the positioning angle of the mesh member 140 is limited by the recess 142 and the protrusion 136. Alternatively, the mesh member 140 can have a protrusion formed on the mesh member 140 and a recess on the guide plate 130 to limit the positioning angle of the mesh member 140.

Here, the placement angle of the mesh member 140 refers to a specific angle at which the mesh member 140 can be placed on the guide plate 130 , among the angles at which the mesh member 140 rotates, based on a line perpendicularly passing through the center of the mesh member 140 .

The positioning angle of the mesh member 140 is determined so that the radially shaped discharge passages 132 of the guide plate 130 correspond to the mesh portions 141 of the mesh member 140. Of course, if the mesh portions 141 of the mesh member 140 are circular and entirely encompass the discharge passages 132, the positioning angle of the mesh member 140 may not need to be determined. However, if the mesh portions 141 of the mesh member 140 are circular and still closely adhere to the edge passages 133, cosmetics may flow from the discharge passages 132 to the edge passages 133 along the mesh portions 141, thereby reducing sealing efficiency.

Therefore, the mesh portion 141 may entirely encompass the discharge channels 132 and have a shape and size that do not correspond to the edge channels 133. Specifically, for example, if the edge channels 133 are flower-shaped, the mesh portion 141 may be radial, requiring the use of the recesses 142 and protrusions 136 to define the placement angle of the mesh member 140. If the edge channels 133 are circular, the mesh portion 141 may be circular, eliminating the need to define the placement angle of the mesh member 140. However, even if the edge channels 133 are circular, if the mesh portion 141 is radial, it is necessary to align the mesh portion 141 with the discharge channels, thus requiring a definition of the placement angle of the mesh member 140. However, the placement angle of the mesh member 140 may be limited to multiple values depending on the number of discharge channels 132, and thus multiple recesses 142 and protrusions 136 may be provided.

As described above, mesh member 140 is formed with mesh portion 141, allowing liquid cosmetics discharged through guide plate 130 to pass through mesh portion 141. In this case, mesh member 140 prevents the cosmetics from splashing. Specifically, mesh portion 141 of mesh member 140 slightly impedes the movement of the cosmetics. Therefore, even when the user operates pump 120 to discharge the cosmetics, the cosmetics flow gently along discharge port 151 of discharge plate 150 without splashing. Mesh portion 141 of mesh member 140 can be made of fibers or blended yarns such as polyester, nylon, wool, and cotton. Furthermore, mesh portion 141 of mesh member 140 can be made of various materials, including iron, zinc, copper, alloys of these metals, and plated metals. Furthermore, the appropriate material can be selected based on the composition and viscosity of the contents, the intended use, and the stability of the product.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the pump 120 is used to pump out the cosmetics for use, and the mesh portion 141 of the net member 140 blocks the discharge of the cosmetics, thereby preventing the cosmetics from splashing outside and evenly supplying them to the discharge plate 150. As a result, this embodiment does not contaminate the space used in this embodiment, and can improve the convenience of the user.

However, in the present invention, mesh member 140 can be omitted depending on the viscosity of the cosmetic. Specifically, when the cosmetic has high viscosity, it is expected that no splashing will occur. Therefore, mesh member 140 can be omitted, and the cosmetic can be discharged externally through guide plate 130 and discharge plate 150. In this case, as described above, guide plate 130 can function as a diffusion unit to diffuse the cosmetic, allowing the cosmetic to be discharged toward discharge port 151 of discharge plate 150.

The discharge plate 150 is disposed on the upper surface of the mesh member 140 and is provided with a plurality of discharge ports 151. The discharge plate 150 can be formed from a rust-resistant metal material such as iron, stainless steel, copper, zinc, tin, or aluminum. Furthermore, it can be composed of an alloy of such materials or a plated metal material. In particular, when the discharge plate 150 is plated, preferably, chromium, copper, silver, or gold is used to impart corrosion resistance, antifouling properties, antibacterial properties, and an aesthetically pleasing appearance, thereby imparting a sense of luxury to the user and ensuring hygienic conditions. The discharge ports 151 can be provided at positions corresponding to the mesh portion 141 of the mesh member 140 or the discharge channel 132 of the guide plate 130.

At this time, the thickness of the discharge plate 150 can be 0.1 to 1 mm (preferably 0.2 to 0.3 mm), and the discharge plate 150 can be made of corrosion-resistant and rust-proof metal raw materials such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, etc., and can also be made of raw materials such as ceramics.

Specifically, the discharge plate 150 may be made of stainless steel, such as SUS304, which is a SUS300 series material having excellent corrosion resistance, acid resistance, and heat resistance. In particular, it may be made of 304J1 material to improve antibacterial properties and sanitation.

Of course, in this embodiment, the material of the discharge plate 150 is not limited thereto, and may be composed of at least one material selected from the group consisting of 301L, 304L, 304LN, 304N1, 305EG, 309S, 310S, 316, 316L, 316LN, 316Ti, 317L, 321, 347, 329J3L, and 329LD in the 304 series.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the discharge plate 150 formed of SUS300 series stainless steel can keep the upper surface of the discharge plate 150, on which the cosmetics discharged by the pump 120 are placed and continuously stained, clean and hygienic, and can effectively prevent corrosion.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the discharge plate 150 is made of metal so that the discharge plate 150 can generate heat effectively, thereby achieving a cooling effect to lower the temperature of the cosmetics.

As described above, in this embodiment, an impregnated sponge may be used instead of the pump 120 . In the case of using the impregnated sponge, the discharge plate 150 made of a metal material may be used to pressurize the impregnated sponge.

However, if the discharge plate 150 directly pressurizes the impregnated sponge, as the impregnated sponge and the discharge plate 150 continue to be in contact, the temperature of the discharge plate 150 and the temperature of the impregnated sponge are maintained in equilibrium. As a result, when the cosmetics are discharged from the impregnated sponge, the discharge plate 150 may not be used to cool the cosmetics. In addition, air may flow into the impregnated sponge through the discharge port 151 of the discharge plate 150, thereby contaminating the cosmetics contained in the impregnated sponge.

However, in this embodiment, even if an impregnated sponge is used, the guide plate 130 and the mesh member 140 are arranged between the discharge plate 150 and the impregnated sponge, thereby isolating the discharge plate 150 from the discharge unit of the impregnated sponge, etc., thereby preventing the above-mentioned disadvantages from occurring.

That is, in this embodiment, the discharge plate 150 is separated from the discharge unit that discharges the cosmetics, so that the discharge plate 150 can be kept at a temperature relatively lower than that of the cosmetics. When the cosmetics discharged through the discharge unit come into contact with the discharge plate 150, they are cooled, thereby providing the user with an extremely satisfying feeling.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, a vacuum pump 120 is utilized as the exhaust unit. Therefore, even if air flows through the discharge port 151 formed in the discharge plate 150, this air is prevented from being transferred to the cosmetics contained within the pump 120, thereby protecting the cosmetics from contamination. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the pump 120 is utilized, the remaining amount of cosmetics can be minimized to approximately 5% compared to when an impregnated sponge is used.

When cosmetics adhere to the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 and the user rubs the cosmetics onto it with a puff or the like, the powder contained in the cosmetics may wear the upper surface of the discharge plate 150. Therefore, in this embodiment, the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 is coated or plated with a specific substance. This prevents the durability of the discharge plate 150 from being degraded even when the user rubs the cosmetics onto the upper surface of the discharge plate 150.

In this case, the discharge plate 150 may be plated with a metal different from the metal constituting the discharge plate 150 , and chromium plating may be used as an example. Specifically, trivalent chromium plating or hexavalent chromium plating may be applied to the discharge plate 150 .

As described above, in this embodiment, the discharge plate 150 is formed of a metal material and chrome-plated on at least one side of the discharge plate 150, thereby ensuring hygienic, antimicrobial, and durable properties. Furthermore, cosmetics that have stained the discharge plate 150 can be easily wiped off, allowing for clean use and improving user convenience. This is because in this embodiment, the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 is not exposed to the outside, preventing the need for additional components.

The discharge passage 132 of the guide plate 130 is radially shaped, the mesh portion 141 of the net member 140 is in a form including the discharge passage 132 of the guide plate 130 , and the discharge port 151 may be radially shaped like the discharge passage 132 .

In this case, the radially shaped discharge ports 151 can have larger diameters as they move away from the center of the discharge plate 150. Cosmetics are discharged from the center by the pump 120, flowing along the discharge channel 132 of the guide plate 130. Therefore, the flow rate of cosmetics decreases as they move away from the center. Therefore, if the diameter of the discharge ports 151 is uniform, cosmetics can be unevenly distributed on the upper surface of the discharge plate 150, resulting in larger discharge ports 151 as they move away from the center.

As described above, the discharge port 151 does not need to be formed in the center portion of the discharge plate 150. This is because if the discharge port 151 is formed in the center portion of the discharge plate 150, when the guide plate 130 is strongly pressurized, the cosmetics may pass through the discharge port 131 of the guide plate 130, the mesh portion 141 of the net member 140, and the discharge port 151 of the discharge plate 150 at once, causing the cosmetics to splash.

The diameter of the discharge port 151 formed in the discharge plate 150 can be very small, ranging from 0.1 to 1 mm. The small diameter of the discharge port 151 allows the user to easily and precisely adjust the amount of cosmetics discharged from the pump 120 toward the upper portion of the discharge plate 150 and prevents foreign matter from entering through the discharge port 151.

Specifically, the discharge ports 151 can be arranged radially at 45-degree intervals with respect to the center of the discharge plate 150, and three discharge ports 151 can be arranged side by side in a predetermined direction away from the center of the discharge plate 150. In this case, the diameters of the three discharge ports 151 arranged side by side can be 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, and 0.5 mm in order of approach from the center of the discharge plate 150.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the discharge plate 150 having the discharge port 151 of the very small diameter as described above is provided in the vacuum pressure pump 120, thereby maximally blocking the contact between the cosmetics and the air, thereby fully preventing some of the ingredients contained in the cosmetics from volatilizing.

As described above, since the discharge port 151 has a very small diameter, it is difficult to accurately form the discharge port 151 when the discharge plate 150 is manufactured by injection molding. Therefore, in this embodiment, after the discharge plate 150 is manufactured, the discharge port 151 is etched to form the discharge port 151, thereby producing a 0.1 mm discharge port 151.

To align the discharge port 151 of the discharge plate 150 with the radial discharge passage 132 of the guide plate 130, a protrusion 137 may be formed on one side of the guide plate 130, and a coupling opening 152 may be formed in the discharge plate 150 to engage with the protrusion 137. Specifically, the discharge plate 150 can be positioned on the guide plate 130 by coupling the coupling opening 152 with the protrusion 137 of the guide plate 130. This is to restrict the placement angle of the discharge plate 150, as described above with respect to the mesh member 140. The details regarding this are replaced with those described above with respect to the recessed portion 142 and the protruding portion 136.

The edge portion 160 is coupled to the upper portion of the guide plate 130 and the container body 110. The edge portion 160 may include an inner edge portion 161 and an outer edge portion 162. The inner edge portion 161 surrounds the edge of the discharge plate 150 and couples to the guide plate 130, thereby securing the guide plate 130, the mesh member 140, and the discharge plate 150 in a press-fitted state. The inner edge portion 161 is then passed through, exposing the discharge plate 150 to the outside, allowing cosmetics discharged toward the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 to be exposed.

The inner edge portion 161 can be integrally formed with the discharge plate 150. This is because when the inner edge portion 161 descends, the discharge plate 150 descends with it. In this case, the material of the inner edge portion 161 can be the same as or similar to that of the discharge plate 150. For example, it can be made of a metal such as iron, stainless steel, copper, zinc, tin, aluminum, or alloys of these materials, or plated metal materials. Furthermore, similar to the discharge plate 150, the inner edge portion 161 can be plated with a metal such as chromium, copper, silver, or gold to enhance its aesthetics and durability.

The outer edge portion 162 can be disposed outside the inner edge portion 161 and coupled to the container body 110. However, the outer edge portion 162 is not fixed to the inner edge portion 161, but rather allows the inner edge portion 161 to be raised and lowered, and surrounds the outer side of the inner edge portion 161. To this end, inner serrations 611 are formed on the outer surface of the inner edge portion 161, and outer serrations 1621 corresponding to the inner serrations 1611 of the outer edge portion 162 are formed on the inner surface of the inner edge portion 161. Thus, the outer edge portion 162 can restrict the rotation of the inner edge portion 161 while allowing it to be raised and lowered.

In the side surface of the outer edge portion 162 , a hinge coupling portion of the cover 180 and a portion where the hook portion 172 is formed, which will be described later, may be in a recessed state to avoid interference between the structures during coupling.

The outer edge portion 62 is coupled to the housing 170 (described later), and the inner edge portion 161 can be raised and lowered relative to the outer edge portion 162, thereby operating the pump 120. Specifically, when a user applies pressure to the discharge plate 150 inside the inner edge portion 161 with a puff (not shown) while holding the housing 170, the inner edge portion 161 coupled to the discharge plate 150 descends inside the outer edge portion 162 coupled to the housing 170, and the guide plate 130 descends with it, activating the pump 120 and supplying cosmetics to the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 and the inner side of the inner edge portion 161. Therefore, the user can use a puff or the like to apply cosmetics exposed on the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 and apply them to the skin for use.

The housing 170 has a structure that surrounds the periphery of the container body 110. The housing 170 has a space for placing the container body 110. However, an opening 171 for exposing the container body 110 may be formed at the bottom of the housing 170. This allows the user to push the container body 110 upward through the opening 171 of the housing 170 to separate the container body 110, thereby allowing the container body 110 to be replaced.

The upper surface of the housing 170 can be covered in the order from the outer side toward the center by the outer edge portion 162, the inner edge portion 161, and the discharge plate 150. Therefore, the user cannot see the guide plate 130, the net member 140, the pump 120, etc. from the outside. Therefore, in this embodiment, the aesthetics can be improved, thereby increasing user satisfaction.

Housing 170 may include a hook portion 172. Hook portion 172 engages with lid 180 to block the opening of lid 180. Hook portion 172 may be integrally formed with a button 1721 and a buckle 1722. Specifically, when a user presses button 1721, buckle 1722 moves in a pressurized direction, thereby disengaging buckle 1722 from lid 180 to control the opening and closing of lid 180.

Cover 180 opens and closes one side (the upper side in this embodiment) of housing 170. One side of cover 180 can be hinged to housing 170, and cover 180 can be rotated about the center of the hinge to open the upper portion of housing 170. At this time, cover 180 can be secured to seal the upper portion of housing 170 using hook portion 172 as described above.

The cover 180 is hinged to the housing 170 , and a spring or the like is provided at the hinge portion so that the cover 180 can be automatically opened when the lock of the cover 180 is released by the hook portion 172 .

A mirror 181 may be provided on the inner side of the cover 180 . The user can open the cover 180 and pressurize the discharge plate 150 or the inner edge portion 161 while looking at the mirror 181 to discharge the cosmetics from the container body 110 for use.

As described above, in this embodiment, when cosmetics are discharged from the pump 120, the mesh member 140 restricts the movement of the cosmetics to prevent the cosmetics from being sprayed from the upper surface of the discharge plate 150, thereby allowing the user to use the cosmetics conveniently and cleanly.

FIG7 is an exploded perspective view of a cosmetic container according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG8 is a cross-sectional view of the cosmetic container according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

7 and 8 , the cosmetic container according to the second embodiment of the present invention may further include a button portion 190 .

Hereinafter, the structure of this embodiment will be described with emphasis on the parts that are different from those of the first embodiment. However, the structure of this embodiment and the structure of the first embodiment having the same reference numerals does not necessarily mean that they are the same structures.

To ensure space for the button portion 190 described later, the guide plate 130 may have a circular plate shape with one side cut away. In this case, the protrusion proposed in the first embodiment can be omitted. However, the discharge port 131 and discharge channel 132 formed on the upper portion of the guide plate 130 may be the same as those of the first embodiment.

The discharge plate 150 is similar to the guide plate 130 and is in the form of a circular plate with one side cut out, and omits the joint 152. However, since both the guide plate 130 and the discharge plate 150 are in the form of a circular plate with one side cut out, even without the protrusion or joint included in the first embodiment, smooth alignment can be achieved.

The edge portion 160 is coupled to the upper portion of the guide plate 130 and the container body 110. In this embodiment, the pump 120 can be operated using the button portion 190. Therefore, unlike the edge portion 160 of the first embodiment, the edge portion 160 of this embodiment can be formed as a single integral body. Since it is firmly fixed to the container body 110, it may not be raised or lowered.

A through-hole 163 may be formed in the edge portion 160 to expose one side of the button portion 190, described later, to the outside. As will be described later, the button portion 190 activates the pump 120 when the user presses the protrusion 193. Therefore, it is preferable that the protrusion 193 be exposed to the outside to allow the user to apply pressure. Therefore, the through-hole 163 provided in the edge portion 160 makes it easier for the user to access the button portion 190.

The button portion 190 is located above the pump 120 and operates the pump 120 by applying pressure. When the user applies pressure to the portion exposed through the through-hole 163 of the edge portion 160, the button portion 190 lowers the lifting member 123 of the pump 120, thereby discharging the cosmetics contained in the pump 120. The button portion 190 may include an auxiliary button 191 and a main button 192.

One end of the auxiliary button 191 is placed on the upper surface of the lifting component 123, and the other end of the auxiliary button 191 is tilted downward. The auxiliary button 191 is placed on the container body 110 (specifically, on the upper body 111) to provide elastic force to the main button 192 described later.

The main button 192 is positioned above the auxiliary button 191. A protrusion 193 is formed at one end of the main button 192, and a portion of the main button 192 is positioned on the upper surface of the lifting member 123. In this configuration, the portion of the upper surface of the lifting member 123 where the end of the auxiliary button 191 is positioned and the portion where the portion of the main button 192 is positioned are positioned opposite each other. This ensures that when the main button 192 and auxiliary button 191 are used to lower the lifting member 123, the lifting member 123 descends stably without tilting.

The protrusion 193 of the main button 192 can be exposed toward the through-hole 163 of the edge portion 160 and pressed by the user. When the user presses the protrusion 193, the portion of the main button 192 located above the lifting member 123 descends. The end of the auxiliary button 191 located above the lifting member 123, pressed by the main button 192, also descends. Thus, the main button 192 and the auxiliary button 191 can be used to lower the lifting member 123 and discharge cosmetics toward the discharge plate 150.

Of course, in this embodiment, instead of the button portion 190 described above, a button portion (not shown) may be provided that protrudes from the side of the container body 110 and, when pressed by a user, activates the pump 120. Furthermore, in this embodiment, various structures for activating the pump 120 may be employed, including, for example, a structure that activates the pump 120 by screw rotation.

As described above, this embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the edge portion 160 does not descend directly, but utilizes the button portion 190 to discharge the cosmetics toward the discharge plate 150. Therefore, in the first embodiment, when the user presses the discharge plate 150 with a puff or the like to discharge the cosmetics, the problem of the discharge port 151 being blocked by the puff, which may result in the inability to discharge the cosmetics smoothly, is compensated, and the cosmetics can be discharged more easily, thereby maximizing the user's satisfaction.

9 is a top view of a guide plate of a cosmetic container according to a third embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 10 is a top view of a net member of the cosmetic container according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figures 9 and 10 , the cosmetic container of the third embodiment of the present invention differs from the aforementioned embodiments in the discharge passage 132 of the guide plate 130 and the mesh portion 141 of the net member 140. The following description focuses on the structural differences between this embodiment and the first and second embodiments. However, the fact that the same reference numerals are used for the structure of this embodiment and the structure of the first and second embodiments does not necessarily mean that the structure is identical.

The guide plate 130 is coupled to the upper portion of the pump 120 to guide the cosmetics discharged by the pump 120. As described in the first embodiment, the guide plate 130 includes a discharge port 131, a discharge channel 132, and an edge channel 133. As the discharge channel 132 moves away from the discharge port 131, which is the center of the guide plate 130, the guide plate 130 has a narrowing or expanding configuration.

When cosmetics are discharged from the pump 120, the cosmetics pass through the discharge port 131 and move along the discharge channel 132 before being discharged to the outside through the discharge port 151 of the discharge plate 150. In order to discharge cosmetics from the discharge port 151 located away from the center of the discharge plate 150, it is necessary to fully fill the cosmetics at a point between the discharge port 131 and the discharge channel 132 (a point connected to the discharge port 151 located away from the center). As a result, the amount of cosmetics discharged from the discharge port 151 located away from the center may be insufficient.

Therefore, this embodiment has a configuration in which the discharge channel 132 becomes narrower as it moves away from the discharge port 131, thereby minimizing the amount of cosmetics remaining in the discharge channel 132. Even if the discharge port 151 of the discharge plate 150 is located away from the center of the discharge plate 150, a sufficient amount of cosmetics can be discharged.

Mesh member 140 is disposed on the cosmetic discharge side of pump 120. At least a portion of mesh member 140 is meshed. Specifically, cosmetics are discharged from mesh portion 141 within mesh member 140. This prevents splashing of cosmetics discharged from pump 120 when using low-viscosity cosmetics.

The mesh portion 141 has a shape corresponding to the discharge channel 132. Specifically, the mesh portion 141 is radially arranged to correspond to the discharge channel, and the mesh portion 141 may be narrowed or expanded (preferably narrowed) as it moves away from the center. This is to ensure that the mesh portion 141 fully covers the discharge channel 132, thereby preventing low-viscosity cosmetics from splashing.

As described above, the discharge passage 132 of the guide plate 130 of this embodiment is narrowed as it moves away from the discharge port 131 , so that a sufficient amount of cosmetics can be discharged from all the discharge ports 151 formed in the discharge plate 150 , thereby improving user satisfaction.

11 is a perspective view of a cosmetic container according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of the cosmetic container according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 13 is a perspective view of a locking portion of the cosmetic container according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figures 11 to 13 , the cosmetic container 11 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention further includes a locking portion 1100. The following description focuses on the structural differences between this embodiment and the first through third embodiments. However, the fact that the same reference numerals are used for the structure of this embodiment and the structure of the first through third embodiments does not necessarily mean that the structure is identical.

The locking portion 1100 restricts the discharge of cosmetics from the pump 120. A portion of the locking portion 1100 protrudes toward the exterior of the housing 170 so that it can be pressed by a user to restrict the operation of the pump 120 as needed.

The locking portion 1100 is included in this embodiment because when a user pressurizes the discharge plate 150 and discharges the cosmetics from the pump 120 to the upper surface of the discharge plate 150, and then uses a puff to evenly spread the cosmetics on the discharge plate 150, the discharge plate 150 may be pressurized while the user is rubbing the cosmetics with the puff, which may cause the cosmetics to be discharged unintentionally by the user.

Therefore, this embodiment has a locking portion 1100, so that after the user discharges the required amount of cosmetics onto the upper surface of the discharge plate 150, the locking portion 1100 is pressed to limit the discharge of the cosmetics, so that the user can use the powder puff to easily pick up the cosmetics discharged on the discharge plate 150 for use.

To this end, preferably, a locking portion 1100 is formed on the housing 170 that is held by the user. At least one locking portion 1100 is provided, and no matter which locking portion 1100 is activated, the discharge of the pump 120 can be successfully restricted. As an example, the locking portions 1100 can be respectively provided on the left and right sides of the hinged joint portion of the housing 170 and the cover 180.

Locking portion 1100 includes an elastic piece 1101, a protrusion 1102, and a locking protrusion 1103. Elastic piece 1101 protrudes from at least one side (preferably both sides) of locking portion 1100 by a predetermined length and exerts an elastic force. The elastic force of elastic piece 1101 acts on protrusion 1102, causing it to protrude outward from container body 110 when no external force is applied.

One end of the elastic sheet 1101 can be connected to the protrusion 1102 described later, and the other end of the elastic sheet 1101 can be in close contact with the outer surface of the container body 110. At this time, if the protrusion 1102 is pressed inward by the user, the other end of the elastic sheet 1101 slides along the outer surface of the container body 110, allowing the protrusion 1102 to be introduced.

The protrusion 1102 is exposed to the outside of the housing 170 and is pressed by the user. To this end, a through hole (not shown) corresponding to the shape of the protrusion 1102 may be formed in the housing 170.

The protrusion 1102 may have a curved shape so that the user can press it more conveniently and improve the appearance. A friction surface is formed on the outer surface of the protrusion 1102, thereby improving the convenience of the user.

The protrusion 1102 is subjected to the elastic force of the elastic sheet 1101 outward from the center of the pump 120. If pressed by a user, it moves toward the center of the pump 120. At this time, the locking portion 1100 can be locked as the locking protrusion 1103 and the protrusion 1102 move together.

The locking protrusion 1103 is provided on the protrusion 1102 to limit the descent of the discharge plate 150. Specifically, when the protrusion 1102 is pressed by the user, the locking protrusion 1103 can move from the outside to the inside with the center of the pump 120 as the reference, and the locking protrusion 1103 moving inward limits the descent of the discharge plate 150.

At this time, the upper surface of the locking protrusion 1103 is in close contact with the lower end of the inner edge portion 161, which is a descendable structure in the edge portion 160, to limit the descent of the inner edge portion 161. Thus, the descent of the discharge plate 150 can be limited to limit the discharge of cosmetics from the pump 120.

Of course, this embodiment can be used in combination with the button portion 190 described in the second embodiment. In this case, the locking portion 1100 can restrict the downward movement of the button portion 190, thereby preventing the operation of the pump 120. In this case, the locking protrusion 1103 of the locking portion 1100 is closely attached to the lower surface of the button portion 190 due to the introduction of the protrusion 1102, thereby restricting the operation of the button portion 190.

As described above, in this embodiment, after the cosmetics are discharged toward the discharge plate 150, the user can simply limit the operation of the pump 120 through the locking portion 1100, thereby preventing the cosmetics from being discharged toward the discharge plate 150 even if the user uses a powder puff to press and evenly spread the cosmetics, thereby preventing the cosmetics from being discharged and wasting, thereby greatly improving the user's satisfaction.

The cooling effect of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention is demonstrated and explained below using specific experimental data.

FIG. 14 is a graph showing user satisfaction with the cooling effect of the cosmetic container of the present invention, and FIG. 15 is a graph showing temperature changes of the cosmetic container of the present invention.

Table 1 below shows user satisfaction with the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention and conventional cosmetic containers after being left for one minute under specific temperature conditions. The satisfaction ratings were averaged from 50 users on a 5-point scale. The numerical values in Table 1 are graphically shown in Figure 14.

Table 1

Referring to Table 1 and FIG. 14 , the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention includes a discharge unit 120 formed of a pump (specifically, a vacuum pump) 120 or an impregnated sponge, and a discharge plate 150. Therefore, the embodiment can be divided into two types based on the type of discharge unit 120. Furthermore, conventional cosmetic containers can be divided into those that discharge cosmetics using a vacuum pump and those that discharge cosmetics using an impregnated sponge.

It can be seen that the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention, in the case of the embodiment comprising the vacuum pump 120 and the metal discharge plate 150 , has a higher user satisfaction when used after storage at various temperatures than other embodiments of the present invention or conventional cosmetic containers.

Furthermore, in the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention, in the case of the embodiment composed of the impregnated sponge and the metal discharge plate 150, user satisfaction after use after storage at various temperatures was superior to that of conventional cosmetic containers.

As described above, user satisfaction with the cooling effect of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention is higher than that of conventional cosmetic containers. This is because the metal discharge plate 150 effectively cools the cosmetics discharged from the vacuum pump 120 or the impregnated sponge. In contrast, conventional cosmetic containers consisting solely of a vacuum pump or an impregnated sponge are unable to achieve any cooling effect on the cosmetics, and thus, have been calculated to have low user satisfaction.

The cooling effect of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention can be specifically demonstrated by the following Table 2 and FIG. 15 .

Table 2

Table 2 shows the temperature of the container surface (the surface where the user applies cosmetics with a puff; in the case of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention, this refers to the top surface of the discharge plate 150; in the case of a conventional cosmetic container equipped with a vacuum pump, this refers to the discharge port of the vacuum pump; in the case of a conventional cosmetic container equipped with an impregnated sponge, this refers to the top surface of the impregnated sponge) measured over time after the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention and conventional cosmetic containers were stored at a specific temperature (50°C) for a specified time (each cosmetic container was placed in an incubator maintained at a specified temperature and stored until the incubator's temperature was fully transferred to the container; in this experiment, the storage was for 4 hours). The values in Table 2 were then plotted as a graph in Figure 15, showing the average value of three measurements for each example.

Referring to Table 2 and FIG. 15 , it can be confirmed that in the embodiment of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention using the vacuum pump 120 as the discharge unit 120, when observed at 15-second intervals after one minute from the time of placement at room temperature, the surface temperature drops sharply, and after 60 seconds, the surface cools to 27.5°C.

Alternatively, it was confirmed that in the embodiment of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention in which the impregnated sponge was used as the discharge unit 120, the surface temperature dropped sufficiently, and after 60 seconds, the surface cooled to 31.1 degrees.

However, conventional cosmetic containers do not include a structure that allows for a rapid temperature drop when exposed to room temperature after being stored at 50°C. Therefore, conventional cosmetic containers equipped with a vacuum pump maintain a temperature of 35°C or higher after 60 seconds, while conventional cosmetic containers equipped with an impregnated sponge maintain a temperature of approximately 40°C after 60 seconds.

Specifically, the experimental data presented above demonstrates that the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention, heated to 50°C within the metal discharge plate 150, experiences a sharp temperature drop upon exposure to a room temperature of 20°C. This provides a cooling effect on the cosmetics as they are discharged toward the upper surface of the discharge plate 150. Therefore, the cooling effect of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention is clearly demonstrated by these temperature measurement results and is even more pronounced when compared to conventional cosmetic containers. This suggests that the present invention can significantly improve user satisfaction.

However, the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention has a higher temperature reduction effect when a vacuum pump 120 is used as the discharge unit 120 than when an impregnated sponge is used as the discharge unit 120. This is because in the case of the vacuum pump 120, the contact area with the discharge plate 150 is small or almost non-existent, and when stored at 50 degrees, the heat absorbed in the cosmetics is not transferred to the discharge plate 150.

As described above, in the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention, the discharge plate 150 is formed of a metal material, so that rapid cooling can be achieved on the upper surface of the discharge plate 150. When the cosmetics are discharged, the heat in the cosmetics is released to the outside, thereby maximizing the user's satisfaction with the cooling sensation.

The antibacterial effect of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention is demonstrated and explained below using specific experimental data.

Figure 16 is a graph showing the bacterial growth rate of the cosmetic container of the present invention, and Figure 17 is a graph showing the contamination rate of a conventional impregnated sponge. Table 3 is a table showing the bacterial growth values of the cosmetic container of the present invention and conventional cosmetic containers. The values in Table 3 are plotted in Figure 16.

In the experiments shown in FIG16 and Table 3, preservative-free cosmetics were used. Experiments were conducted using the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention, with both the vacuum pump 120 and the impregnated sponge as the discharge unit 120. A conventional cosmetic container with an impregnated sponge was used as a control. For four weeks, users applied the cosmetics from the container using a powder puff.

In the experiment shown in FIG17 , a UV blocker (a product containing disodium phenylbenzimidazole sulfonate that fluoresces under UV light) was applied to the skin, and the cosmetics applied to the impregnated sponge were used as generally used for one to two weeks to confirm whether the UV blocker remained in the impregnated sponge using a UV light.

The cosmetic container 11 of the present invention includes a metal discharge plate 150. Therefore, even if a user applies cosmetics discharged from the discharge plate 150 to a puff, the user's skin keratin and other substances on the puff cannot be drawn into the discharge unit 120 beyond the discharge port 151 of the discharge plate 150. Therefore, as shown in Table 3 and FIG. 16 , when the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention is compared to a conventional cosmetic container without a discharge plate 150, bacterial growth is significantly reduced or absent.

The cosmetic container 11 of the present invention has a sufficiently small diameter (less than 11 mm) of the discharge port 151 of the discharge plate 150. Therefore, even though the discharge unit 120 communicates with the outside through the discharge port 151, nutrients such as keratin are effectively prevented from reaching bacteria. Furthermore, when the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention utilizes a vacuum pump 120, the discharge port 151 can be positioned offset from the outlet of the vacuum pump 120, completely blocking the supply of nutrients. Consequently, it was confirmed that bacterial growth did not occur when the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention utilized the vacuum pump 120.

In contrast, conventional cosmetic containers using an impregnated sponge have their entire upper surface exposed to the outside, and the puff is in direct contact with the impregnated sponge. Consequently, keratin and other substances adhering to the puff continuously feed bacteria into the impregnated sponge. Consequently, it has been shown that as cosmetics are expelled from the impregnated sponge using the puff, bacterial growth rapidly increases.

In particular, referring to Figure 17 , it can be clearly seen that as the user applies the cosmetics impregnated with the impregnated sponge using the puff, the UV blocker attached to the user's skin migrates toward the impregnated sponge. This indicates that the user's skin keratin is also attached to the impregnated sponge, demonstrating that bacterial growth can occur frequently in conventional cosmetic containers.

In contrast, the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention utilizes the discharge plate 150 to effectively prevent the powder puff from directly contacting the discharge unit 120. In particular, when the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention utilizes the vacuum pump 120, even if the user continues to apply cosmetics using the powder puff, structurally, keratin and the like are completely prevented from flowing into the cosmetics contained within the vacuum pump 120.

As described above, the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention is provided with a discharge plate 150 having a discharge port 151 with a small diameter, thereby preventing the powder puff from directly contacting the outlet of the discharge unit 120. When the user uses the powder puff to apply makeup, nutrients can be prevented from being supplied to bacteria remaining in the cosmetics through the powder puff, thereby completely preventing the cosmetics from being contaminated.

Table 4 below shows the bacterial survival values of the cosmetic container of the present invention. In this experiment, bacteria (Escherichia coli, Bacillus pyogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) or fungi (Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans) were inoculated into cosmetics (without preservatives) within the discharge unit 120 of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention, and the bacterial count was measured daily.

At this time, 1g of cosmetics was collected and diluted 10 times in neutralizing solution, applied to SDC medium, and cultured in a constant temperature bath at 37 degrees for more than 24 hours. The number of colonies (bacteria) was observed to indicate the number of bacteria. 1g of cosmetics was collected and diluted 10 times in neutralizing solution, applied to SDA medium, and cultured in a constant temperature bath at 30 degrees for more than 24 hours. The number of colonies (bacteria) was observed to indicate the number of fungi.

Table 4

The cosmetic container 11 of the present invention may be provided with a vacuum pump 120 or an impregnated sponge as the discharge unit 120. However, in the case of the vacuum pump 120, air intrusion may be prevented, whereas in the case of the impregnated sponge, air intrusion may be allowed to a certain extent.

Referring to Table 4, it can be confirmed that when the discharge unit 120 of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention is a vacuum pump 120, the number of bacteria and fungi both decreases sharply to less than 20 on the second day. This is because the vacuum pump 120 blocks the flow of air and other substances into the cosmetics contained within, thus preventing the bacteria from being supplied with nutrients necessary for survival.

In contrast, it was confirmed that when the discharge unit 120 of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention was an impregnated sponge, the number of bacteria and fungi was relatively large when compared with the case where the vacuum pump 120 was used.

That is, when considering the above experimental results, the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention utilizes the vacuum pump 120 as the discharge unit 120 instead of the impregnated sponge, thereby minimizing the survival of bacteria and innovatively preventing cosmetics from being contaminated.

The durability and hygienic properties of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention will be described below using specific experimental data.

FIG. 18 is a diagram showing wear of the discharge plate material of the cosmetic container according to the present invention.

The material of the discharge plate 150 of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention used in the experiment shown in FIG. 18 is SUS304 stainless steel metal, while the material of the discharge plate 150 used as the control group is general plastic.

As shown in Figure 18 , it was confirmed that when the upper surface of the discharge plate 150, which discharges cosmetics, was rubbed approximately 20 times with a powder puff, no scratches occurred at all on the metal discharge plate 150. However, it was clearly confirmed that many scratches occurred on the plastic plate after only 20 uses.

Specifically, the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention utilizes a metal, non-plastic discharge plate 150, effectively preventing wear and tear of the discharge plate 150 when cosmetics are rubbed onto its upper surface with a powder puff. Furthermore, the present invention minimizes scratches, ensuring both durability and hygiene, compared to conventional cosmetic containers 11, which can retain cosmetics on scratches, affecting their appearance and accelerating contamination.

The cosmetics used in the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention may contain inorganic pigments such as calcium carbonate ( _CaCO₃ ), titanium oxide ( _TiO₂ ), talc, natural minerals, or metal compounds as solid microparticles. Since the cosmetics contain inorganic pigments with strong hardness, there is a concern that the dispensing plate 150 may be abraded when the cosmetics are applied to the upper surface of the dispensing plate 150 using a puff. Therefore, the dispensing plate 150 of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention may have a Vickers hardness value of 120 to 200 HV. The Vickers hardness value is measured according to ASTM E92 and is the quantified area of the indentation produced when a diamond is pressed against the object being measured.

Therefore, in the present invention, the Vickers hardness of the discharge plate 150 is set to 120 HV or higher. This effectively prevents the discharge plate 150 from being scratched or worn by friction from the puff, even when using cosmetics containing hard inorganic pigments. Furthermore, in the present invention, the Vickers hardness of the discharge plate 150 is set to 200 HV or lower, optimizing the manufacturing components of the discharge plate 150 and facilitating processing and molding (such as etching to form the discharge port 151).

Furthermore, in the present invention, the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 is exposed to the outside, and the user can use a powder puff to apply the cosmetics discharged on the upper surface of the discharge plate 150, so that the surface that can be applied with the powder puff is separated from the discharge unit 120, and the surface in contact with the powder puff can be wiped at any time, thereby having the advantage of being able to maintain hygiene cleanly.

As shown in Table 5 below, 50 users evaluated the hygienic performance of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention, in which the discharge unit 120 comprises a vacuum pump 120 or an impregnated sponge, and a conventional cosmetic container consisting solely of a vacuum pump or an impregnated sponge, on a scale of 5. The results confirm that the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention received significantly better hygienic evaluations than conventional cosmetic containers. In particular, when compared to conventional cosmetic containers consisting solely of an impregnated sponge, the present invention maximizes hygienic performance due to the presence of the discharge plate 150.

Table 5

Therefore, in the present invention, the cosmetics discharged from the discharge unit 120 are placed on the upper surface of the discharge plate 150, and the cosmetics on the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 exposed to the outside can be wiped off. As a result, compared with conventional cosmetic containers, hygiene can be improved to prevent users from developing skin problems.

As shown in this way, user satisfaction with cooling and experimental data on surface temperature changes indicate that the present invention exhibits an outstanding cooling effect. Experimental data on bacterial growth and bacterial reproduction indicate that the present invention exhibits antibacterial properties. Experimental data on scratching and user satisfaction with hygiene indicate that the present invention exhibits both durability and hygienic properties. Therefore, the present invention maximizes overall user satisfaction through these multiple advantages.

The present invention may include a fifth embodiment in which the discharge plate 150 is formed of a non-metallic material instead of the metal material described above. In this case, the discharge plate 150 may be formed of at least one material selected from the group consisting of plastic, wood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), non-metallic minerals, paper, silicon, ceramics, rubber, and glass.

Alternatively, the discharge plate 150 may be formed of at least one material selected from the group consisting of polyurethane, polyethylene, polyester, polyether, polypropylene, polystyrene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), styrene acrylonitrile (SAN), acrylic, polyamide, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, and nylon.

In this case, the non-metallic discharge plate 150 can be regarded as being formed of a non-conductive material. The discharge plate 150 formed of a non-conductive material can prevent the occurrence of static electricity, etc., caused by friction between the powder puff and the discharge plate 150 when the user rubs the powder puff in the discharge plate 150 in order to apply the cosmetics exposed to the upper surface of the discharge plate 150.

Specifically, since the discharge plate 150 is made of a non-conductive material, it can suppress static electricity generated by friction with the puff used to massage the discharged cosmetics. However, the discharge plate 150 can be made of a non-metallic material, or a material with a higher hardness than the inorganic pigments that are solid particles contained in the cosmetics. In this case, even if the discharge plate 150 is made of plastic, the scratches shown in Figure 18 above may not occur.

19 and 20 are cross-sectional views of a discharge plate of a cosmetic container according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figures 19 and 20 , a fiber material 153 may be provided on at least a portion of at least one surface of a discharge plate 150 of a cosmetic container 11 according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention. The fiber material 153 may be provided on the upper surface,/or lower surface, and/or side surfaces of the discharge plate 150. For example, the fiber material 153 may be provided on at least a portion of the upper surface, including the central portion. The discharge plate 150 may be made of either metal or non-metal. In this embodiment, the material of the discharge plate 150 is not particularly limited.

The fiber material 153 can be provided on one side of the discharge plate 150 by ultrasonic welding, thermal compression bonding, or adhesive bonding. Alternatively, the fiber material 153 can be provided on one side of the discharge plate 150 by surrounding and covering the one side of the discharge plate 150. Alternatively, after the fiber material 153 is placed on the upper surface of the discharge plate 150, it can be attached to the discharge plate 150 by an additional frame (not shown) that presses and secures the fiber material 153 and the edge of the discharge plate 150. In this case, after preparing the fiber material 153 corresponding to the area of the discharge plate 150, the fiber material 153 can be attached to the discharge plate 150 by bonding or covering, which has the advantages of reducing preparation costs and allowing for uniform coating. Of course, this embodiment is not limited to the above-mentioned method of providing the fiber material 153 on the discharge plate 150.

The fiber material 153 provided on the discharge plate 150 can be formed of at least one material selected from the group consisting of natural fibers, artificial fibers, metal fibers, and glass fibers. Thus, in this embodiment, by providing the fiber material 153 on the side of the discharge plate 150 from which cosmetics are discharged (specifically, the upper surface), the user can feel a soft touch when rubbing the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 with a powder puff.

Therefore, the user can get the soft touch produced by the rubbing of the fiber material 153 and the powder puff while applying makeup, so that the user can get a sense of comfort and stability.

The natural fibers that can constitute the fiber material 153 include linen, silk, wool or cotton, the artificial fibers that can constitute the fiber material 153 include rayon fiber, acetate, nylon, polyester, polyester, acrylic, urethane, viscose fiber or Tencel, and the metal fibers that can constitute the fiber material 153 may include gold wire, silver wire or iron wire.

Alternatively, the fiber material 153 can be formed by flocking. Flocking is a process in which individual fibers 1531 are electrostatically implanted on the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 coated with an adhesive. In this process, the colors and arrangements of the individual fibers 1531 can be varied. In particular, the individual fibers 1531 can be tilted in a single direction as they move from one end attached to the discharge plate 150 toward the other end. In other words, the individual fibers 1531 comprising the fiber material 153 can all be arranged tilted in a parallel direction, as shown in FIG19 .

Alternatively, as shown in FIG20 , the individual fibers 1531 are formed so as to be inclined in a direction away from the center of the discharge plate 150 as they move toward the distal end from one end attached to the discharge plate 150. In other words, the individual fibers 1531 may be formed in a radially inclined direction, or conversely, the individual fibers 1531 may be formed in a direction inclined toward the center of the discharge plate 150.

At this time, in order to prevent cosmetics from remaining unnecessarily in the spaces between the individual fibers 1531 constituting the fiber material 153 , the fiber material 153 may be provided at a height relatively lower than the thickness of the discharge plate 150 .

As described above, in this embodiment, the fiber material 153 is formed on the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 by flocking processing, etc., so that the user can get a soft touch when applying cosmetics with the puff, thereby greatly improving the user's satisfaction.

21 and 22 are cross-sectional views of a discharge plate of a cosmetic container according to a seventh embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figures 21 and 22 , a film 154 may be provided on at least a portion of at least one surface of the discharge plate 150 of the cosmetic container 11 according to the seventh embodiment of the present invention. The film 154 may be provided on the upper surface,/or lower surface, and/or side surface of the discharge plate 150. For example, the film 154 may be provided on at least a portion of the upper surface, including the central portion. However, the surface provided with the film 154 may also be the surface from which cosmetics are discharged through the discharge port 151.

At this time, as described in the sixth embodiment, the discharge plate 150 can be formed of a metal material or a non-metal material. That is, the material of the discharge plate 150 is not particularly limited in this embodiment.

The film 154 can be a metal film, that is, the film 154 can be a metal foil. In this case, the material of the film 154 can be selected from a variety of materials such as gold, silver, copper, copper, chromium, holographic metal, etc.

The film 154 may be an adhesive film bonded to one side of the discharge plate 150. In this case, as shown in FIG22, the adhesive film may be stacked in a plurality of layers on one side of the discharge plate 150, with each layer being removable.

This allows the user to easily remove the film 154 if it becomes damaged by friction with the puff. Specifically, if the film 154 is laminated in multiple layers, the user can remove the films 154 one by one, depending on the duration of use, thus restoring the appearance to a new state. In this case, the laminated films 154 can have different colors, patterns, or other characteristics. In other words, each time the user removes the films 154, the condition of the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 may change.

Furthermore, when the film 154 is stacked in multiple layers, an identification factor indicating the number of layers may be provided on the film 154. In this case, the identification factor may be a character such as a number, or a color whose brightness or chromaticity increases or decreases in sequence.

The film 154 may be relatively thinner than the discharge plate 150. This is because if the film 154 is provided in a removable manner and the film 154 is thick, the user may feel a foreign texture when removing the film 154, causing inconvenience.

As an example, the thickness of the film 154 may be 1 to 50 microns, and specifically, the thickness of the film 154 may be less than 10 microns. Of course, the thickness of the film 154 is not limited as long as it is sufficiently thinner than the thickness of the discharge plate 150.

The present invention also includes an eighth embodiment in which at least a portion of at least one surface of the discharge plate 150 is coated with a coating. In this case, the coating can be applied to the upper and/or lower and/or side surfaces of the discharge plate 150. For example, the coating can be applied to at least a portion of the upper surface, including the center portion. However, the coated surface can also be the surface from which cosmetics are discharged through the discharge port 151. In this case, the discharge plate 150 can be made of either metal or non-metal.

The paint may include a solvent, and may further include at least one selected from the group consisting of ceramics, metals, plastics, glass, paper, rubber, and silicon as a residual component for coating the discharge plate 150 .

In this embodiment, as the paint containing a solvent is sprayed onto the discharge plate 150 and dried, the solvent is removed, so that ceramics and the like, which are residual components contained in the paint, are applied to one surface of the discharge plate.

Specifically, in this embodiment, after the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 is cleaned, it undergoes processes such as paint spraying, drying, ultraviolet (UV) coating, and UV curing, so that components such as ceramics contained in the paint can be applied to the upper surface of the discharge plate 150.

At this time, the paint can be applied on one side of the ejection plate 150 using at least one selected from the group consisting of matte coating, glossy coating, pearl coating, metal coating and holographic coating, or the paint can be applied on one side of the ejection plate 150 using at least one selected from the group consisting of rubber coating, embossed coating, photosensitive coating, thermosensitive coating and light-storing coating.

As described above, in this embodiment, a ceramic coating or the like is applied to the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 through a coating spraying and drying process, thereby enhancing the aesthetic appearance and allowing the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 to be given a variety of colors or patterns. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the ceramic coating improves oxidation resistance, chemical resistance, and abrasion resistance, thereby preventing cosmetic contamination and ensuring skin stability. It also prevents the coating from peeling off even after repeated friction with the puff.

23 is a cross-sectional view of a discharge plate of a cosmetic container according to a ninth embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 23 , the dispensing plate 150 of the cosmetic container 11 according to the ninth embodiment of the present invention can be formed from a metal or non-metal material. An outer plate or outer surface 155, deposited by vapor deposition or plating, can be provided on at least a portion of at least one side of the dispensing plate 150. The outer surface 155 can be provided on the top,/or bottom, and/or side surfaces of the dispensing plate 150. For example, the outer surface 155 can be provided on at least a portion of the top surface, including the central portion. However, the side provided with the outer surface 155 can also be the side from which cosmetics are discharged through the dispensing port 151.

In this case, the outer surface 155 may be plated with at least one material selected from the group consisting of gold, silver, copper, nickel, iron, chromium, aluminum, copper, zinc, and tin.

In this case, in this embodiment, the surface of the discharge plate 150 is coated with metal to give it a gorgeous and beautiful appearance, thereby increasing the added value of the cosmetic container 11. In this case, the outer surface 155 can be formed by at least one of electroplating, chemical plating, and hot-dip plating.

Alternatively, the outer surface 155 may be formed by solidifying a gaseous substance on one side of the discharge plate and then vapor-depositing the substance on the discharge plate. In this case, the outer surface 155 may be formed by vapor-depositing at least one material selected from the group consisting of gold, silver, copper, nickel, iron, chromium, aluminum, copper, zinc, and tin.

When the outer surface 155 is formed by evaporation, the outer surface 155 can be formed by evaporation using physical vapor deposition (PVD) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Physical vapor deposition is a method of using an electron beam, laser beam, or plasma to convert a solid substance into a gaseous state under a vacuum state, thereby condensing/crystallizing and attaching it to the upper surface of the ejection plate 150. Metals such as aluminum, gold, silver, and copper can be used as evaporation materials. In contrast, chemical vapor deposition is a method of causing the substance to be evaporated to move in a gaseous state and attach to the upper surface of the ejection plate 150 through a gas reaction.

Of course, in addition to the above two methods, in this embodiment, various well-known methods can be used to vapor-deposit materials such as metal on the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 to form the outer surface 155.

Therefore, in this embodiment, even if the discharge plate 150 is made of a non-metallic material, the outer surface 155 is formed of a metallic material, thereby ensuring the cooling effect proposed in the first embodiment and maximizing the user's satisfaction through the beautiful appearance.

In addition to the above-mentioned first to ninth embodiments, the present invention may include an embodiment composed of at least one combination selected from the first to ninth embodiments. In the sixth to ninth embodiments, when the fiber material 153, the film 154 or the external surface 155 is formed or one side of the coating discharge plate 150 is coated, a hole or flow path connected to the discharge port 151 is formed in the fiber material 153, the film 154, the external surface 155, etc. to prevent the discharge port 151 from being closed, thereby achieving smooth discharge of cosmetics.

Furthermore, in the sixth to ninth embodiments, the portion of the discharge plate 150 processed by fiber material, film, adhesive film, coating, plating, vapor deposition, etc. may be referred to as a discharge plate processed portion having a material different from that of the discharge plate 150 .

Furthermore, in the fifth embodiment, at least a portion of one surface of the discharge plate 150 may be made of a non-metallic material. In this case, the portion formed of the non-metallic material may be referred to as a discharge plate processed portion having a material different from that of the discharge plate 150 .

Figures 24 and 25 are perspective views of cosmetic containers according to the tenth to fourteenth embodiments of the present invention. Figure 24 shows a state where a cover 290 is attached, and Figure 25 shows a state where the cover 290 is removed.

26 is an exploded perspective view of a cosmetic container according to a tenth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 31 is a partial cross-sectional view of the cosmetic container according to the tenth embodiment of the present invention.

24 to 26 and 31 , a cosmetic container 21 according to a tenth embodiment of the present invention includes a discharge unit 210 , a discharge plate 220 , a diffuser 230 , a contact surface 240 , sealing materials 250 , 260 , an edge portion 270 , a housing 280 and a cover 290 .

The discharge unit 210 is used to discharge the cosmetics. The discharge unit 210 may be a vacuum pump 210 , which is used to first store the cosmetics inside and then discharge the stored cosmetics to the outlet 211 through the operation of a user.

When the discharge unit 210 is a vacuum pump 210, the discharge unit 210 can use a piston (not shown) that moves up and down in a cylinder (not shown) to discharge the cosmetics. The detailed structure of the vacuum pump 210 such as the cylinder and the piston is generally widely known, and its detailed description is omitted.

The cosmetics contained in the discharge unit 210 can be in various forms such as liquid or liquid mixed with solids, and can be a composition having multiple ingredients such as an emulsion or UV shielding agent. That is, the ingredients, state, and purpose of use of the cosmetics of the present invention are not particularly limited.

The discharge unit 210 discharges cosmetics through the outlet 211. The outlet 211 of the discharge unit 210 can be lifted by an additional elastic member (not shown). If the outlet 211 of the discharge unit 210 is pressurized downward by a discharge plate 220 (described later), etc., the cosmetics can be discharged to the outside through the outlet 211 according to the general principle of the vacuum pump 210.

The discharge unit 210 may have a predetermined size, and if the volume of the cosmetics stored therein decreases, the empty space may gradually expand. However, in order to prevent an empty space from forming in the portion where the cosmetics are located, a pressure plate (not shown) may be provided inside the discharge unit 210.

When cosmetics leak through the outlet 211 of the discharge unit 210 , the pressurizing plate may prevent the pressure inside the discharge unit 210 from being reduced, thereby preventing air from flowing from the outside into the inside of the discharge unit 210 .

As the cosmetics are discharged, the pressure plate rises or falls, thereby regulating the pressure of the space storing the cosmetics. At this time, in order to enable the pressure plate to rise and fall, an air inlet (not shown) may be formed on one side of the discharge unit 210 to allow air to flow in.

Specifically, if cosmetics leak from discharge unit 210, the pressure plate can be raised or lowered, thereby reducing the space between the cosmetics and outlet 211 according to the amount of cosmetics discharged. Thus, in this embodiment, the cosmetics stored in discharge unit 210 are kept away from air, thereby preventing contamination of the cosmetics.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, a sponge soaked in liquid cosmetics can be used as the discharge unit 210 instead of the vacuum pump 210. The sponge is pressurized by the diffuser 230 and can discharge the cosmetics contained therein into the diffusion space 231 of the diffuser 230.

When the sponge is pressurized, cosmetics are discharged upward from the entire upper surface. Therefore, in this embodiment, when a sponge is used as the discharge unit 210, a pressure plate (not shown) communicating with the diffusion space 231 of the diffuser 230 may be provided. The pressure plate is positioned to completely cover the upper surface of the sponge, pressurizing the sponge. This allows cosmetics discharged from the sponge to be supplied only to the diffusion space 231 of the diffuser 230, thereby preventing external leakage. Specifically, the edge of the pressure plate is sealed inside the housing 280 (described later), and a hole is formed in the portion of the pressure plate communicating with the diffuser 230, thereby ensuring smooth transfer of cosmetics discharged from the sponge to the discharge plate 220.

The sponge may be formed of at least one selected from the group consisting of polyamide, polyester, polyether, polyurethane, polyethylene, polystyrene, polyolefin, polyvinyl alcohol, polyamide, polyester, polypropylene, polyacrylic acid, polyvinyl chloride, epoxy resin, sponge, nylon, cotton, non-woven fabric, and the like.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the discharge unit 210 may be an elastically deformable bag. Specifically, the discharge unit 210 is configured in the form of a bag with a variable volume. When the cosmetics are discharged, the size of the discharge unit 210 naturally decreases. For example, the discharge unit 210 may be in the form of a balloon.

The discharge plate 220 has at least one discharge port 221, which is located on one side of the discharge unit 210 and is used to pass the cosmetics through. The discharge plate 220 can be formed from rust-resistant metal materials such as iron, stainless steel, copper, zinc, tin, and aluminum. Furthermore, the discharge plate 220 can be formed from alloys of these materials or plated metal materials. In particular, when plating the discharge plate 220, preferably, a material such as chromium, copper, silver, or gold is used to impart corrosion resistance, stain resistance, antibacterial properties, and a beautiful and aesthetically pleasing appearance, thereby creating a sense of luxury for the user, while also meeting hygiene requirements.

At this time, the thickness of the discharge plate 220 is 0.1 to 1 mm (preferably 0.2 to 0.3 mm). The discharge plate 220 can be formed of corrosion-resistant and rust-proof metal raw materials such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, etc., or can be formed of raw materials such as ceramics.

Specifically, the discharge plate 220 may be made of stainless steel, such as SUS304 in the SUS300 series, which has excellent corrosion resistance, acid resistance, and heat resistance. In particular, in order to improve antibacterial properties and sanitation, it may be formed of 304J1.

Of course, in this embodiment, the material of the discharge plate 220 is not limited thereto, and may be formed of at least one material selected from the group consisting of 301L, 304L, 304LN, 304N1, 305EG, 309S, 310S, 316, 316L, 316LN, 316Ti, 317L, 321, 347, 329J3L, and 329LD of the 304 series.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the discharge plate 220 formed of SUS300 series stainless steel is used to place the cosmetics discharged through the discharge unit 210, which can keep the upper surface of the discharge plate 220 that is continuously stained with cosmetics hygienically clean and effectively prevent corrosion.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, by using the metal discharge plate 220, the discharge plate 220 can effectively dissipate heat, thereby achieving a cooling effect that reduces the temperature of the cosmetics. This is explained in the above-mentioned other embodiment using tables and the like.

As described above, in this embodiment, an impregnated sponge may be used instead of the pump 210 . Although this will be described later, even when a sponge is used, the discharge plate 220 is disposed so as to be separated from the sponge by the diffuser 230 .

Therefore, the discharge plate 220 is not in constant contact with the sponge, and the cosmetics can be cooled by the discharge plate 220 even when the sponge is used as the discharge unit 210. Furthermore, the cosmetics are discharged through the diffuser 230, thereby preventing air from flowing into the sponge, thereby completely preventing the cosmetics from being contaminated.

Cosmetics may adhere to the upper surface of the dispensing plate 220. When a user rubs the cosmetics on the upper surface of the dispensing plate 220 with a powder puff or the like, the powder contained in the cosmetics may cause abrasion of the upper surface of the dispensing plate 220. Therefore, in this embodiment, the dispensing plate 220 is made of a material having a harder hardness than the pigment contained in the cosmetics, or the upper surface of the dispensing plate 220 is coated or plated with a specific substance. This prevents the durability of the dispensing plate 220 from being reduced even if the user rubs the cosmetics on the upper surface of the dispensing plate 220.

In this case, the discharge plate 220 may be plated with a metal different from the metal forming the discharge plate 220 , and for example, the plating may be chromium. Specifically, the discharge plate 220 may be plated with trivalent chromium or hexavalent chromium.

As described above, in this embodiment, the discharge plate 220 is formed of a metal material, and at least one side of the discharge plate 220 is plated with chrome. This ensures sanitation, antibacterial properties, and durability. Furthermore, cosmetics that have adhered to the discharge plate 220 can be easily removed, allowing for clean use and improving user convenience. This is because in this embodiment, by preventing the placement of additional components on the upper surface of the discharge plate 220, the upper surface of the discharge plate 220 is directly exposed to the outside.

The discharge plate 220 is provided with at least one discharge port 221 for discharging cosmetics. The discharge ports 221 can be arranged radially relative to the outlet 211 of the discharge unit 210. In this case, the diameter of the radially arranged discharge ports 221 can increase as they are further away from the center of the discharge plate 220. The cosmetics are discharged from the center by the discharge unit 210 and diffuse along the diffusion space 231. Therefore, the flow rate of the cosmetics decreases as they are further away from the center. Therefore, if the diameter of all discharge ports 221 is the same, the cosmetics may be unevenly distributed on the upper surface of the discharge plate 220. Therefore, it is preferred that the discharge ports 221 increase in diameter as they are further away from the center.

The discharge ports 221 may be arranged in a specific shape in addition to being arranged radially, for example, in various shapes such as a circle, a polygon, or a star, or only one discharge port 221 may be arranged.

The discharge port 221 may be arranged to be offset from the outlet 211 of the discharge unit 210. This is because if the cosmetics discharged from the discharge unit 210 are discharged directly to the discharge port 221 through the diffuser 230, the cosmetics with low viscosity may bounce up, which may cause inconvenience to the user.

The diameter of the discharge port 221 formed in the discharge plate 220 can be very small, ranging from 0.1 to 1 mm. The small diameter of the discharge port 221 allows the user to easily and precisely adjust the amount of cosmetics discharged from the discharge unit 210 toward the upper portion of the discharge plate 220, and also prevents foreign matter from entering the interior through the discharge port 221.

Specifically, the discharge ports 221 can be arranged radially at 45-degree intervals with respect to the center of the discharge plate 220. Three discharge ports 221 can be arranged side by side in a predetermined direction away from the center of the discharge plate 220. In this case, the diameters of the three discharge ports 221 arranged side by side can be 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, and 0.5 mm, in order of approach from the center of the discharge plate 220.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the discharge plate 220 having the discharge port 221 having a very small diameter as described above is used in the discharge unit 210 of the vacuum pump pressure type 210, thereby blocking the contact between the cosmetics and the air to the greatest extent possible, thereby fully preventing some of the ingredients contained in the cosmetics from volatilizing.

As described above, since the discharge port 221 has a very small diameter, it is difficult to accurately form the discharge port 221 when the discharge plate 220 is manufactured by injection molding. Therefore, in this embodiment, after the discharge plate 220 is manufactured, the discharge port 221 is shaped by etching, thereby achieving a discharge port 221 of 0.1 mm.

The discharge plate 220 can be made of the aforementioned metal material. However, in low temperatures, such as in winter, the cooling effect may cause inconvenience to the user. Therefore, to address this issue, the discharge plate 220 can be formed of at least one non-metallic material selected from the group consisting of plastic, wood, medium-density fiberboard, non-metallic minerals, paper, silicon, ceramics, rubber, and glass.

If the cosmetics contained in the cosmetic container 21 of this embodiment are cosmetics mainly used in summer, the discharge plate 220 can be formed of a metal material. If the cosmetics contained in the cosmetic container 21 are not cosmetics for summer, but cosmetics mainly used in winter, etc., the discharge plate 220 can be formed of a non-metallic material.

In the case where the discharge plate 220 is made of a non-metallic material, as an example, the discharge plate 220 can be formed of at least one material selected from the group consisting of polyurethane, polyethylene, polyester, polyether, polypropylene, polystyrene, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene plastic, styrene-acrylonitrile, acrylic, polyamide, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate and nylon.

In this case, the non-metallic discharge plate 220 can be considered to be formed of a non-conductive material. When a user rubs a powder puff against the discharge plate 220 to apply cosmetics exposed to the upper surface of the discharge plate 220, the discharge plate 220 formed of a non-conductive material can prevent static electricity, etc., caused by friction between the powder puff and the discharge plate 220. In other words, the discharge plate 220 formed of a non-conductive material can suppress the generation of static electricity caused by friction with the powder puff used to rub the discharged cosmetics.

As described above, the discharge plate 220 can be formed of a metal material or a non-metal material, and one side of the upper surface of the discharge plate 220 can be provided with a fiber material by flocking, a thin film by coating, or an outer surface by vapor deposition.

Furthermore, the processing of one side of the discharge plate 220 can be varied to enhance user satisfaction. Specifically, the present invention is not limited to the material of the discharge plate 220, nor to whether or not one side is processed, the processing method, or the raw materials used. Specifically, the discharge plate 220 of this embodiment can include the features of the discharge plate 150 described in the first through ninth embodiments.

A coupling opening 222 may be formed on one side of the discharge plate 220 . The coupling opening 222 may engage with the coupling protrusion 236 of the diffuser 230 . As the coupling opening 222 and the coupling protrusion 236 engage, the discharge plate 220 may be placed on the diffuser 230 .

The purpose of using the joint 222 and the joint protrusion 236 is to limit the placement angle of the discharge plate 220. In other words, in order to connect the discharge port 221 formed in the discharge plate 220 with the diffusion space 231 formed in the diffuser 230, the angle at which the discharge plate 220 needs to be placed may be limited, which is a structural limitation.

Of course, it is also possible to provide the discharge plate 220 with the engaging protrusion 236 and form the engaging opening 222 in the diffuser 230, as opposed to the above. Furthermore, various known structures can be used to restrict the placement angle of the discharge plate 220. However, even if the placement angle of the discharge plate 220 is changed, if no cosmetics are discharged, that is, if the discharge opening 221 of the discharge plate 220 is arranged in a circular shape and the diffuser space 231 is also circular, the engaging opening 222 and engaging protrusion 236 structures described above can be omitted.

The diffuser 230 includes a diffusion space 231, located between the discharge plate 220 and the discharge unit 210. This diffusion space 231 is used to transfer cosmetics discharged from the discharge unit 210 to the discharge outlet 221. The diffuser 230 is configured to separate the discharge plate 220 from the discharge unit 210, allowing cosmetics discharged from a single outlet 211 to be transferred to the multiple discharge outlets 221. To this end, the diffusion space 231 and the outlet 211 of the discharge unit 210 are connected via a communication port 232.

The diffusion section 230 can evenly transfer the cosmetics discharged from the outlet 211 of the discharge unit 210 to the discharge outlet 221. At this time, the further the discharge outlet 221 is from the outlet 211 of the discharge unit 210, the larger the size can be. Therefore, sufficient cosmetics can be discharged to each discharge outlet 221 through the diffusion space 231.

Furthermore, the diffusion space 231 has a narrower vertical width toward the outside, so that the cosmetics can be smoothly delivered to the discharge port 221 disposed on the outside. That is, the diffusion space 231 may have an inclined shape that becomes higher toward the outside.

Cosmetics are stored in the discharge unit 210 and, except for the outlet 211, are isolated from the outside world, minimizing contamination. Furthermore, cosmetics discharged onto the upper surface of the discharge plate 220 come into contact with air, potentially causing contamination. However, since cosmetics can be used by the user for a short period of time, contamination caused by prolonged exposure is avoided. However, cosmetics stored in the diffusion space 231 of the diffuser 230 may pose this problem. This is because cosmetics stored in the diffusion space 231 are more likely to come into contact with air than cosmetics stored in the discharge unit 210.

However, in this embodiment, the cosmetics remaining in the diffusion part 230 are minimized, thereby preventing the cosmetics from being contaminated. To this end, the diffusion part 230 may be provided with a contact surface 240 described later in a portion other than the diffusion space 231.

The diffuser 230 can be in surface contact with the discharge plate 220 via the contact surface 240. In this case, the surface contact portion is the upper surface of the diffuser 230, which can be the outer portion of the diffusion space 231. This is to isolate only the diffusion space 231 from the discharge plate 220, while keeping the remaining portion in close contact with the discharge plate 220, thereby preventing cosmetics from leaking outside the diffusion space 231.

In this case, the cosmetics remain only in the diffusion space 231, and no cosmetics remain on the upper surface of the diffusion portion 230, thereby minimizing the amount of cosmetics remaining. Therefore, in this embodiment, the user's satisfaction can be greatly improved.

The contact surface 240 is in close contact with the discharge plate 220. The contact surface 240 is provided on the upper surface of the diffuser 230, in close contact with the lower surface of the discharge plate 220, thereby maintaining close contact between the diffuser 230 and the discharge plate 220. To this end, a space for accommodating the contact surface 240 may be formed on the upper surface of the diffuser 230. In this case, the space referred to is the space between the diffusion space 231 and the lower surface of the discharge plate 220.

In order to prevent the contact surface 240 from being pushed outward and to maintain the position of the contact surface 240, an edge protrusion 233 may be provided on the diffuser 230. The edge protrusion 233 is located on the upper surface of the diffuser 230 and protrudes from the edge of the contact surface 240 in the form of at least one arc or ring, and surrounds the edge of the contact surface 240.

The contact surface 240 is located outside the diffusion space 231. The contact surface 240 tightly contacts the discharge plate 220 and the diffuser 230, isolating only the diffusion space 231 from the discharge plate 220 while allowing cosmetics to flow in. Specifically, the contact surface 240 is located outside the diffusion space 231 and tightly contacts the diffuser 230 and the discharge plate 220 in the area other than the diffusion space 231, completely preventing cosmetics from leaking.

The contact surface 240 may be formed as a thin plate and integrally formed with the diffuser 230 on one side of the diffuser 230 . However, the contact surface 240 may be thinner than the diffuser 230 and relatively thicker than the discharge plate 220 .

To ensure secure contact between the diffuser 230 and the discharge plate 220, the contact surface 240 can be formed from a material with high friction. For example, the contact surface 240 can be formed from a variety of materials, such as fiber or foamed resin. In this case, the contact surface 240 can be formed from a different material than the diffuser 230. In this case, the contact surface 240 can be formed on the diffuser 230 via dual injection molding.

The close contact surface 240 can be made of a foamed resin or the like, but in this case, the size of the foamed cells may be small enough not to allow the cosmetics to flow in. This is because if the cosmetics are impregnated into the close contact surface 240 , the close contact surface 240 cannot be used to seal the surface smoothly.

The contact surface 240 can be integrally formed with the diffuser 230, or can be separately provided and placed on the upper surface of the diffuser 230. That is, the contact surface 240 and the diffuser 230 can be manufactured together or separately. When manufactured separately, the contact surface 240 can be bonded to the diffuser 230 using a known adhesive or various known bonding structures.

The contact surface 240 is disposed outside the diffusion space 231, and closely contacts the outer side of the diffusion space 231 with the discharge plate 220. To prevent the diffusion space 231 from being covered, the contact surface 240 may have a configuration that penetrates the portion corresponding to the diffusion space 231. In this case, the diffusion port 241 may be referred to as a through portion formed in the contact surface 240, and may communicate with the diffusion space 231.

Alternatively, the contact surface 240 may have a shape that penetrates the portion corresponding to the discharge port 221 of the discharge plate 220. In this case, the diffuser 241 may have a shape similar to or different from the diffusion space 231. However, preferably, the diffuser 241 is provided in a shape that at least does not block the discharge port 221.

The sealing material 250 is disposed outside the diffusion space 231 to prevent cosmetics from leaking. The diffusion portion 230 may have a sealing groove 234 for receiving the sealing material 250 . The sealing groove 234 may have a shape surrounding the diffusion space 231 .

For example, the sealing groove 234 of the diffuser 230 may be in a flower shape or a ring shape, and the shape of the sealing material 250 may be determined according to the shape of the sealing groove 234. In this case, the sealing material 250 may be an integral structure, or may be at least one separable structure.

The sealing material 250 may be formed of a pressure-bondable material such as rubber. The sealing groove 234 having the sealing material 250 corresponds to the outer side of the diffusion space 231 . A contact surface 240 may be disposed on the upper portion of the sealing material 250 .

Therefore, the sealing material 250 can be pressed against the contact surface 240, thereby playing a dual role in preventing cosmetic leakage together with the contact surface 240. In particular, the sealing material 250 is relatively taller than the sealing groove 234. Therefore, the sealing material 250 placed in the sealing groove 234 can push the contact surface 240 upward, thereby more firmly maintaining the contact between the contact surface 240 and the discharge plate 220.

Sealing material 260 is disposed on the outside of the contact surface 240. While the aforementioned sealing material 250 is disposed below the contact surface 240, sealing material 260 is disposed on the outside of the contact surface 240, achieving double contact. That is, sealing material 250 achieves double contact from top to bottom, while sealing material 260 achieves double contact from inside to outside.

The sealing material 260 has the same or similar shape as the sealing material 250 described above and can be made of the same or similar material. However, compared to the sealing material 250 described above, the sealing material 260 can be formed with a wider width.

To accommodate the sealing material 260, a sealing groove 235 may be formed in the discharge plate 220. In this case, the sealing groove 235 may be located outside the aforementioned sealing groove 234. Furthermore, the sealing groove 234 is used to accommodate the sealing material 250 below the contact surface 240, while the sealing groove 235 is used to accommodate the sealing material 260 outside the contact surface 240. The sealing groove 235 may be located above the sealing groove 234. In this case, the height difference between the two sealing grooves 234 and 235 is ultimately determined by the thickness of the contact surface 240.

The edge portion 270 is coupled to the edge of the discharge plate 220 . The edge portion 270 has a structure that allows the discharge plate 220 to be raised and lowered based on a housing 280 described later. The edge portion 270 may include an inner edge portion 271 and an outer edge portion 272 .

The inner edge portion 271 surrounds the edge of the discharge plate 220 and is fixed to the discharge plate 220. The inner edge portion 271 is penetrated to expose the discharge plate 220 to the outside, thereby allowing the cosmetics discharged toward the upper surface of the discharge plate 220 to be exposed to the outside.

The inner edge portion 271 can be integrally formed with the discharge plate 220. This is because the discharge plate 220 is lowered when the inner edge portion 271 is lowered. In this case, the material of the inner edge portion 271 can be the same as or similar to that of the discharge plate 220. For example, it can be formed from a metal material such as iron, stainless steel, copper, zinc, tin, aluminum, or alloys or plated metals of these materials, or other non-metallic materials. Furthermore, to enhance aesthetics and durability, the inner edge portion 271 can be plated with a metal material such as chromium, copper, silver, or gold, similar to the discharge plate 220.

The inner edge portion 271 may have a shape in which the height gradually rises as it moves away from the edge of the discharge plate 220. This is to prevent the inner edge portion 271 from acting as a shoulder when the user rubs the discharge plate 220 with a puff, thereby preventing cosmetics from leaking out.

The outer edge portion 272 is disposed outside the inner edge portion 271 and can be coupled to the housing 280. However, the outer edge portion 272 is not fixed to the inner edge portion 271, allowing the inner edge portion 271 to be raised and lowered and surrounding the outer side of the inner edge portion 271. To this end, a protrusion 2711 is formed on the outer surface of the inner edge portion 271, and a groove 2721 corresponding to the protrusion 2711 of the inner edge portion 271 is formed on the inner surface of the outer edge portion 272. The outer edge portion 272 can restrict the rotation of the inner edge portion 271 while allowing it to be raised and lowered.

In the side surface of the outer edge portion 272 , a portion where a hook 2822 of a hook portion 282 described later is provided may be recessed or open in order to avoid interference between structures during coupling.

The outer edge portion 272 can be coupled to the housing 280, and the inner edge portion 271 can be raised or lowered relative to the outer edge portion 272 to activate the discharge unit 210. Specifically, when a user applies pressure to the discharge plate 220 inside the inner edge portion 271 using a puff (not shown) while holding the housing 280, the inner edge portion 271 coupled to the discharge plate 220 inside the outer edge portion 272 coupled to the housing 280 descends, activating the discharge unit 210 and allowing cosmetics to be supplied to the upper surface of the discharge plate 220 and inside the inner edge portion 271. Therefore, the user can use a puff or the like to apply the cosmetics exposed on the upper surface of the discharge plate 220 and apply them to the skin for use.

However, in this embodiment, a button structure (not shown) provided separately on the outside of the discharge plate 220 replaces the inner edge portion 271, enabling the discharge of cosmetics from the discharge unit 210. The button structure used in this case can be a well-known lever-type button structure that uses the outlet 211 of the pressure vacuum pump 210 to discharge the cosmetics. In this case, the inner edge portion 271 can be provided so that the inner side allows the discharge plate 220 to be raised and lowered.

The housing 280 has a structure that surrounds the periphery of the discharge unit 210. The housing 280 has a space for accommodating the discharge unit 210. However, an opening 281 for exposing the discharge unit 210 may be formed at the bottom of the housing 280. This allows a user to push the discharge unit 210 upward through the opening 281 of the housing 280 to detach the discharge unit 210, thereby allowing the discharge unit 210 to be replaced.

The upper surface of the housing 280 is sequentially covered with the outer edge portion 272, the inner edge portion 271, and the discharge plate 220 from the outer side toward the center. Therefore, the user cannot see the discharge unit 210 and the like from the outside. This improves the aesthetics of the embodiment and thus enhances user satisfaction.

Housing 280 may include a hook portion 282. Hook portion 282 engages with lid 290 to block the opening of lid 290. Hook portion 282 may be integrally formed of a button 2821 and a buckle 2822. Specifically, when a user presses button 2821, hook portion 282 moves buckle 2822 in a pressurizing direction, thereby disengaging buckle 2822 from lid 290 to control the opening and closing of lid 290.

Cover 290 opens and closes one side (the upper side in this embodiment) of housing 280. One side of cover 290 can be hinged to housing 280, and cover 290 can be rotated about the center of the hinge to open the upper portion of housing 280. Cover 290 can be secured to seal the upper portion of housing 280 using hook portion 282 as described above.

The cover 290 is hinged to the housing 280 , and a spring or the like is provided at the hinge portion so that the cover 290 can be automatically opened when the lock of the cover 290 is released by the hook portion 282 .

A mirror 291 may be provided on the inner side of the cover 290 , and the user can open the cover 290 and press the discharge plate 220 or the inner edge portion 271 while looking at the mirror 291 to discharge the cosmetics from the discharge unit 210 for use.

As described above, in this embodiment, the discharge plate 220 and the diffusion portion 230 are brought into close contact with each other in a surface manner, thereby preventing the cosmetics moving along the diffusion space 231 from leaking to the outside of the diffusion space 231. Therefore, the waste of cosmetics can be completely blocked, and the cosmetics are left only in the diffusion space 231, thereby minimizing the amount of residual cosmetics.

FIG27 is an exploded perspective view of a cosmetic container according to an eleventh embodiment of the present invention, and FIG32 is a partial cross-sectional view of the cosmetic container according to the eleventh embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, the eleventh embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 27 and FIG. 32 together with FIG. 24 and FIG. 25 .

24 to 25, 27 and 32, in the eleventh embodiment of the present invention, the upper surface of the diffuser 230 can replace the contact surface 240. That is, the diffuser 230 does not utilize the contact surface 240, but directly contacts the lower surface of the discharge plate 220 with its upper surface.

However, in this case, it is necessary to sufficiently ensure the friction and sealing force between one surface of the diffuser 230 and one surface of the discharge plate 220 . Therefore, post-processing for increasing the friction may be performed on the upper surface of the diffuser 230 .

In this case, post-processing can include flocking to form a fiber material, coating to increase surface roughness, and various other post-processing methods. Specifically, in the present invention, in order to increase the friction and sealing force on the upper surface of the diffuser 230, an unlimited number of post-processing methods can be applied to the upper surface of the diffuser 230.

Unlike the tenth embodiment in which the contact surface 240 and the upper surface of the diffuser 230 are bonded, structurally combined, or integrally formed, this embodiment uses the upper surface of the diffuser 230 itself as the contact surface 240, thereby eliminating one step in the manufacturing process and reducing manufacturing costs.

In this embodiment, by omitting this structure, the thickness from the lower surface of the discharge plate 220 to the lower surface of the diffuser 230 can be reduced, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the cosmetic container 21. However, by using the upper surface of the diffuser 230 as the contact surface 240, the sealing material 250 can be in contact with the contact surface 240 alone.

Specifically, if described from the inside to the outside based on the cross section, adhesion can be achieved in four layers: the contact surface 240, which is the upper surface of the diffuser 230; the sealing material 250; the contact surface 240, which is the upper surface of the diffuser 230 formed outside the sealing material 250; and another sealing material 260. However, in this embodiment, double adhesion is not achieved.

As described above, in this embodiment, the upper surface of the diffusion portion 230 is post-processed to allow the upper surface of the diffusion portion 230 to function as the close-fitting surface 240, thereby preventing cosmetics from leaking to the outside of the diffusion space 231 and further simplifying the structure to reduce manufacturing costs.

FIG28 is an exploded perspective view of a cosmetic container according to a twelfth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG33 is a partial cross-sectional view of the cosmetic container according to the twelfth embodiment of the present invention.

24 and 25 together with FIG. 28 and FIG. 33 , the cosmetic container 21 of the twelfth embodiment of the present invention can omit the sealing material 250 and the sealing groove 234 when compared with the tenth embodiment. This is because the sealing force by the contact surface 240 can be sufficiently ensured.

That is, in this embodiment, sealing is achieved using the contact surface 240. By omitting the sealing material 250 located below the contact surface 240, the structure can be reduced, simplified, and cost-effective. Aside from omitting the sealing material 250 and the sealing groove 234, the present embodiment is identical to the tenth embodiment, and therefore, description of the remaining structure will be omitted.

FIG29 is an exploded perspective view of a cosmetic container according to a thirteenth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG34 is a partial cross-sectional view of the cosmetic container according to the thirteenth embodiment of the present invention.

Referring back to Figures 24 and 25 together with Figures 29 and 34 , the cosmetic container 21 of the thirteenth embodiment of the present invention omits the sealing material 250 and the sealing groove 234 when compared with the eleventh embodiment. The omission of the sealing material 250 and the sealing groove 234 is the same as that described in the twelfth embodiment, and therefore, the related description is omitted. The remaining structure is the same as that described in the eleventh embodiment, and therefore, the detailed description is omitted.

FIG30 is an exploded perspective view of a cosmetic container according to a fourteenth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG35 is a partial cross-sectional view of the cosmetic container according to the fourteenth embodiment of the present invention.

24 and 25 together with FIG. 30 and FIG. 35 , when compared with the thirteenth embodiment, the cosmetic container 21 of the fourteenth embodiment of the present invention further omits the sealing material 260 provided on the outside.

That is, in this embodiment, the upper surface of the diffuser 230 forms a close contact surface 240, and the discharge plate 220 and the diffuser 230 are in surface contact through the close contact surface 240, thereby ensuring the sealing force. In addition, the sealing materials 250 and 260 are completely omitted to minimize the structure.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the sealing force of the contact surface 240 can prevent the leakage of cosmetics and achieve innovative reductions in manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the reduced weight and size can improve user satisfaction and portability.

However, omitting the sealing materials 250 and 260 may reduce the sealing strength. Therefore, in this embodiment, compared with the other embodiments described above, the post-processing of the upper surface of the diffuser 230 can be made different. Specifically, the post-processing can be performed in a direction that improves the sealing strength of the contact surface 240, which is the upper surface of the diffuser 230.

This also applies to the other embodiments described above. That is, to address the potential reduction in sealing force that may occur when the sealing materials 250 and 260 are omitted, the surface roughness or post-processing method of the contact surface 240, as well as the post-processing method of the upper surface of the diffuser 230 when the contact surface 240 is directly formed on the upper surface of the diffuser 230, can be applied differently according to each embodiment.

The present invention has been described in detail above through specific embodiments, but this is only used to specifically illustrate the present invention. The present invention is not limited thereto. It is obvious that within the technical concept of the present invention, ordinary technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs can make modifications and improvements.
