Description

Cosmetic container

The present application is a divisional application of a patent application having a national application number of 201580001331.X (International application number: PCT/KR2015/001103), an application date of 2015, 2 months and 3 days, and an invention name of "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 in a discharge plate, a user rubs the cosmetics on the discharge plate with a puff and uses the cosmetics, and a fibrous material, a thin film, a vapor-deposited outer surface, a coating surface, and the like are formed on an upper surface of the discharge plate to improve the satisfaction of the user, prevent leakage of the cosmetics, and simplify an internal structure to reduce manufacturing costs.

Background

In general, solid cosmetics such as foundation liquid (foundation) and liquid cosmetics such as sun block (sun block) which are widely used have effects of protecting skin, shining skin, and improving wrinkles. In this case, the user may apply the cosmetic product to the skin after applying the cosmetic product to a puff (puff).

In the case of a puff, it can be sold in a state of being housed in a cosmetic container, and in general, there is a possibility that a puff or the like is housed inside a lid of the cosmetic container. Therefore, in order to use the cosmetic, a user can open the cap to draw out the puff and apply a predetermined amount of the cosmetic to the puff by bringing the puff into contact with the cosmetic while holding an elastic string or the like provided to the puff between the fingers.

In this case, since the user needs to bring the puff into direct contact with the cosmetic, the cosmetic sticks to the puff more than necessary according to the pressure of the user pressing the cosmetic with the puff, and the puff may be wasted. Therefore, recently, a method has been developed in which a cosmetic is immersed in a sponge or the like, and when a user presses the sponge with a puff, the liquid cosmetic that has permeated the sponge is discharged and supplied to the puff.

However, in the conventional cosmetic container, as in the conventional case, there is a possibility that the cosmetic sticks to the puff more than necessary depending on the pressure with which the user presses the sponge, and if the user presses the sponge with excessive pressure by mistake, the cosmetic sticks not only to the surface of the puff directly contacting the skin but also to the surface adjacent to the fingers of the user, thereby causing great inconvenience to the user.

In addition to this, in the conventional case, when a user applies a cosmetic product by applying the cosmetic product to a puff immersed in a sponge and then repeatedly pressing the puff against the sponge immersed in the cosmetic product, the cosmetic product may be contaminated seriously due to viruses, molds, bacteria, and the like existing in the skin. Also, microorganisms contaminating the cosmetics grow until the cosmetics are used up, thereby continuing the contamination of the products, eventually causing problems such as skin irritation, skin problems, skin allergy, and discoloration. In the case where the user experiences such inconvenience, the cosmetics are avoided, and the products used for beauty rather cause personal hygiene and skin problems, thus being very dissatisfied.

In order to protect the cosmetics from such contamination by microorganisms and to use them safely, it is preferable to adopt a structure that minimizes contact between the contents and an external contamination source, and to use the amount used, and for the remaining amount of cosmetics, the conditions of the storage state can be maintained safely and without contamination by microorganisms.

The solution and examination of this problem is a serious problem to be solved, and without this fundamental solution, if cosmetics are suggested for cosmetic use, severe skin side effects are experienced instead.

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

Fig. 1 and 2 are perspective views of cosmetic containers according to first to ninth embodiments of the present invention. Fig. 1 illustrates a state where the cover 180 is covered, and fig. 2 illustrates a state where the cover 180 is opened.

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

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

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

The container body 110 includes a lower body 112 and an upper body 111, and the container body 110 can be closed by combining the lower body 112 with the upper body 111. The reason why the container body 110 is divided into the lower portion and the upper portion is to easily store cosmetics in the container body 110.

Specifically, the lower body 112 is formed in a shape of an inner recess, and in order to store cosmetics, if cosmetics are first filled in the lower body 112 and the upper body 111 is coupled to the upper portion of the lower body 112 such that the lower body 112 is covered by the upper body 111, the container body 110 can be easily filled with cosmetics.

Of course, the present embodiment is not limited to the case body 110 formed by the lower body 112 and the upper body 111, and the case body 110 may be filled with cosmetics by forming an additional opening/closing port (not shown) for supplying cosmetics in the case body 110, and sealing the opening/closing port after the cosmetics are contained in the case body 110 through the opening/closing port. That is, the embodiment is not particularly limited to the form, structure, etc. of the container body 110, and any form of container body may be used as long as a space capable of storing cosmetics is formed.

The container body 110 may be provided with a pump 120, and particularly, the pump 120 may be provided at the upper center of the container body 110. Therefore, the cosmetics contained in the container body 110 can be discharged to the upper side of the container body 110 by the pump 120.

A pressurizing plate 113 may be formed inside the container body 110. The pressurizing plate 113 prevents the container body 110 from being damaged due to a reduction in internal pressure caused by a reduction in volume of the container body 110 when the cosmetic contained in the container body 110 is discharged by the pump 120. That is, the pressure plate 113 is lowered as the cosmetics are discharged, so that the pressure of the space where the cosmetics are stored can be maintained in a predetermined manner. In this case, an air inlet 114 through which air can flow from the outside may be formed at the upper portion of the container so that the pressing plate 113 can be lowered.

The pump 120 is provided to the container body 110 to discharge the cosmetics to the outside. The pump 120 may be a vacuum pump that sucks in the liquid cosmetic contained in the container body 110 and discharges the sucked liquid cosmetic to the upper side of the container body 110, which is the outside of the container body 110. At this time, the discharged cosmetic may be exposed to the outside accessible to the puff of the user through the guide plate 130, the mesh member 140, and the discharge plate 150, which will be described later.

The pump 120 may include a cylinder 121, a piston 122, and a lifting member 123. The cylinder 121 is combined with the central portion of the container body 110 in a form of having a hollow 1211, and may be integrally manufactured with the container body 110. A piston 122 and a piston ring 124 may be provided inside the cylinder 121, and a first hole 1212 for inflow of cosmetics may be formed at a lower portion of the cylinder 121.

The piston 122 is provided inside the cylinder 121 and discharges the cosmetics in the container body 110 to the outside/upper part by moving up and down. A hollow 1221 for passing cosmetics may be formed inside the piston 122, and a flange 1223 protruding to the outside may be provided on a lower surface of the piston 122. Further, a second hole 1222 through which cosmetic can flow may be formed on an outer circumferential surface of the piston 122.

A piston ring 124 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the piston 122 to seal between the piston 122 and the cylinder 121. The piston ring 124 may contact the cylinder 121 on the outer side, the piston 122 or a lifting member 123 described later on the inner side, and the piston ring 124 may move up and down by the piston 122 and the lifting member 123. At this time, the upward movement of the piston ring 124 is restricted by the lifting member 123 using the flange 1223, and the downward movement of the piston ring 124 is restricted by the lifting member 123 using the flange 1223.

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

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

The pump 120 may further include an elastic member 126 to provide an upward elastic force to the elevating member 123 and the piston 122. The elastic member 126 may be a spring, an upper end of the elastic member 126 may be closely attached to a lower surface of the elevating member 123, and a lower end of the elastic member 126 may be closely attached to an upper surface of the cylinder 121 or the sealing member 125 to push the elevating member 123 upward.

The operation principle of the pump 120 will be described below. First, when the elevating member 123 moves down, the piston 122 moves down, but the piston ring 124 does not move down due to friction with the inner surface of the cylinder 121, and the second hole 1222 formed in the outer peripheral surface of the piston 122 is separated from the piston ring 124 and communicates with the inner space of the cylinder 121.

At this time, when the elevation member 123 continues to descend, the piston ring 124 is pressed by the elevation member 123 to descend, and the volume of the internal space of the cylinder 121 is reduced, thereby increasing the pressure of the internal space of the cylinder 121. Therefore, the cosmetics in the internal space of the cylinder 121, in which the pressure becomes high, are discharged along the inside of the piston 122 through the second hole 1222 of the outer circumferential surface of the piston 122 communicating with the internal space of the cylinder 121. In this case, in order to prevent the reverse flow of the cosmetics in the pump 120, the reverse flow preventing member 127 may be provided in the first hole 1212 formed at the central lower portion of the cylinder 121.

On the other hand, 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 and is lifted by the flange 1223 of the piston 122, as in the case of the descending.

At this time, when the piston ring 124 is in close contact with the flange 1223 of the piston 122, the second hole 1222 on the outer peripheral surface of the piston 122 is closed. When the piston ring 124 rises, the volume of the internal space of the cylinder 121 increases, and the internal space of the cylinder 121 is in a low-pressure state. Therefore, the cosmetics contained in the container body 110 naturally flow into the cylinder 121. By repeating such processes, the pump 120 can discharge the cosmetics contained in the container body 110 to the outside.

Of course, the present embodiment does not limit the structure of the pump 120 in the manner as described above, and the pump 120 may be used in various manners other than the vacuum pump. That is, any structure of the pump 120 may be used as long as it can discharge the cosmetics in the container body 110.

Also, in the present embodiment, instead of using the pump 120 as the discharging unit, a sponge impregnated with the liquid cosmetic may be used. The sponge is pressurized by a guide plate 130, etc., described later, 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 combined with an upper portion of the pump 120 to guide the cosmetics discharged by the pump 120. The guide plate 130 may be disposed between the pump 120 and a net member 140, which will be described later, and coupled to the elevating member 123 of the pump 120, and the lowering of the guide plate 130 may realize the lowering of the elevating member 123.

The guide panel 130 is explained in detail with reference to fig. 5.

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

The guide plate 130 may further include a discharge passage 132, and the discharge passage 132 communicates with the discharge port 131 and is formed radially with the discharge port 131 as a center. The cosmetic is discharged to the discharge port 131 of the guide plate 130 through the hollow 1221 in the piston 122, but the discharge port 151 may not be formed at a position corresponding to the discharge port 131 of the discharge plate 150 described later. That is, the discharge plate 150 blocks the upward movement of the cosmetic discharged upward through the discharge port 131 of the guide plate 130.

At this time, the cosmetics flow radially along the discharge passage 132, and thus the discharge port 131 does not communicate with the outside, in order to prevent the cosmetics from being discharged concentratedly only at the center of the discharge plate 150 when the pump 120 is operated.

The discharge passages 132 may be formed in plural in a radial shape, 8 are shown in the drawing, but the number of the discharge passages 132 is not limited to 8 in the present invention. However, the discharge passage 132 may be radially symmetrical to uniformly discharge the cosmetics.

Also, the guide plate 130 may further include an edge channel 133 formed at the periphery of the discharge channel 132. The cosmetics are discharged by the pump 120 and flow along the discharge passage 132, and if more cosmetics than necessary are discharged, the cosmetics leak along the outer side surface of the guide plate 130, and the container body 110 and the like may be contaminated, and the cosmetics may be caught on the hand of the user who holds the present invention, thereby giving a feeling of discomfort to the user. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the edge channel 133 is formed at the periphery of the discharge channel 132, and when the cosmetic overflows from the discharge channel 132, the edge channel 133 may be blocked to prevent the cosmetic from leaking to the outside.

At this time, the edge channel 133 may be spaced apart from the discharge channel 132 so as not to communicate with the discharge channel 132, the discharge channel 132 may be formed in a radial shape, the edge channel 133 may be formed in a flower shape, a circular shape, or the like surrounding the radial discharge channel 132. That is, the edge channel 133 may have a shape that protrudes outward at a portion where the discharge channel 132 is formed and protrudes inward at a portion where the discharge channel 132 is not formed, when viewed from above.

A sealing member 134 is placed in the rim channel 133. The sealing member 134 may be formed of a material such as rubber, may have a flower shape, a circular shape, or the like, similar to the edge channel 133, and since the sealing member 134 is disposed in the edge channel 133, even if the cosmetic reaches the edge channel 133, the cosmetic may not be discharged to the outside of the guide plate 130 because the cosmetic is blocked by the sealing member 134.

The guide plate 130 of the present embodiment may further include a circular auxiliary edge channel 138 (see fig. 12) outside the edge channel 133, and in this case, a circular sealing material 139 (see fig. 12) may be provided in the circular auxiliary edge channel. The circular sealing member is made of a foaming material such as foamed rubber or foamed urethane, so that leakage of the cosmetics can be prevented together with the sealing member 134. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the sealing may be performed by the sealing member 134 provided to the rim channel 133 for the first time, and the sealing may be performed by the sealing material provided to the auxiliary rim channel for the second time, so that the leakage of the cosmetics discharged from the pump 120 to the outside may be completely blocked by the double sealing structure.

However, the guide plate 130 of the present invention may form a diffusion space for discharging the cosmetics from the pump 120 without leaking to the discharge port 151 of the discharge plate 150 instead of the discharge passage 132 or together with the discharge passage 132. In this case, the diffusion space may be a space in a disk shape or the like, and may have various shapes communicating with the discharge port 151, so that the cosmetic leaking from the outlet of the pump 120 can be appropriately dispensed to the discharge port 151. Therefore, the guide plate 130 has a diffusion space instead of the discharge passage 132, and thus can be used as a diffusion portion.

The net member 140 is provided on the side of the pump 120 from which the cosmetic is discharged, and at least a part of the net member 140 has a mesh shape. The mesh member 140 is provided at an upper portion of the pump 120, and in particular, may be placed on an upper surface of the guide portion. At this time, the guide panel 130 may be formed with guide ribs 135 for placing the mesh member 140, and the mesh member 140 may be placed in the guide ribs 135 of the guide panel 130.

The mesh member 140 is explained in detail with reference to fig. 6.

Fig. 6 is a plan view of a net member of the cosmetic container according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 6, a depression 142 is formed at one side of the net member 140 of the cosmetic container 11 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and a protrusion 136 is formed at the inner side of the guide rib 135 of the guide plate 130, and the net member 140 can be placed in the guide rib 135 when the depression 142 is engaged with the protrusion 136. That is, when the mesh member 140 is combined with the guide member, the placement angle of the mesh member 140 may be limited by the recess 142 and the protrusion 136. Of course, on the contrary, a protrusion may be formed at the mesh part 140 and a depression may be formed at the guide panel 130, thereby limiting the placing angle of the mesh part 140.

At this time, the placing angle of the mesh member 140 means a specific angle at which the mesh member 140 can be placed on the guide panel 130, from among angles at which the mesh member 140 rotates, with reference to a line vertically passing through the center of the mesh member 140.

The angle at which the mesh member 140 is placed is defined so that the discharge channels 132 of the radial guide plates 130 correspond to the mesh parts 141 of the mesh member 140. Of course, in the case where the mesh part 141 of the net member 140 has a circular shape including all the discharge paths 132, there is a possibility that the angle of the placement of the net member 140 is not necessarily limited, but in the case where the mesh part 141 of the net member 140 has a circular shape and is also closely attached to the rim path 133, the cosmetic may be transferred from the discharge paths 132 to the rim path 133 along the mesh part 141, thereby lowering the sealing efficiency.

Accordingly, the mesh part 141 may include the discharge channels 132 entirely, having a shape and size not corresponding to the rim channels 133. That is, as a specific example, in the case where the edge channel 133 has a flower shape, the mesh portion 141 may have a radial shape, and it is necessary to define the placement angle of the net member 140 by the concave portion 142 and the convex portion 136, and in the case where the edge channel 133 has a circular shape, the mesh portion 141 may have a circular shape, and it is not necessary to define the placement angle of the net member 140. However, even if the rim channel 133 is circular, if the mesh portion 141 is in a radial form, the mesh portion 141 needs to be aligned with the discharge channel, and thus the angle at which the net member 140 is placed needs to be limited. However, the placement angle of the mesh member 140 may be limited to a plurality according to the number of the discharge passages 132, and thus the recess 142 and the protrusion 136 may be provided in a plurality.

As described above, the mesh part 141 is formed at the mesh member 140, so that the liquid cosmetic discharged through the guide plate 130 can pass through the mesh part 141, in which case the mesh member 140 can prevent the cosmetic from being scattered. That is, the mesh portion 141 of the net member 140 may slightly block the movement of the cosmetic, and thus the cosmetic may flow gently along the discharge port 151 of the discharge plate 150 without being scattered even if the user operates the pump 120 to discharge the cosmetic to the outside. In this case, the mesh part 141 of the net member 140 may use a fiber or a blended yarn of polyester, nylon, wool, cotton, or the like, and the mesh part 141 of the net member 140 may be made of various materials such as iron, zinc, copper, or an alloy of such metals, and a plated metal. In addition, an appropriate material can be selected in consideration of the content components, viscosity, use, product stability, and the like.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the cosmetics are pumped by the pump 120 and used, and the mesh portion 141 of the mesh member 140 interferes with the discharge of the cosmetics, so that the cosmetics discharged to the outside are prevented from being scattered and uniformly supplied to the discharge plate 150. Therefore, the embodiment can not pollute the space used by the embodiment and can improve the convenience of users.

However, in the present invention, the mesh member 140 may be omitted according to the viscosity of the cosmetic. That is, since it is predicted that splashing will not occur when the cosmetic has a high viscosity, the mesh member 140 is omitted, and the cosmetic can be discharged to the outside through the guide plate 130 and the discharge plate 150. In this case, as described above, the guide plate 130 functions as a diffusing portion that diffuses the cosmetic product so that the cosmetic product can be discharged to the discharge port 151 of the discharge plate 150.

The discharge plate 150 is provided on the upper surface of the mesh member 140, and the discharge plate 150 is provided with a plurality of discharge ports 151. The discharge plate 150 may be made of a metal material such as rustproof iron, stainless steel, copper, zinc, tin, or aluminum, and may be made of an alloy of such a material or a plated metal material. In particular, when the discharge plate 150 is plated, it is preferable to use a material such as chrome, copper, silver, or gold, which is capable of giving a high-grade feeling to a user and satisfying hygienic properties by imparting corrosion resistance, stain resistance, antibacterial performance, and beauty, and to provide the discharge port 151 at a position corresponding to the mesh part 141 of the mesh member 140 or the discharge path 132 of the guide plate 130.

In this case, the thickness of the discharge plate 150 may be 0.1 to 1mm (preferably 0.2mm to 0.3mm), and the discharge plate 150 may be made of a metal material having high corrosion resistance and being stainless, such as aluminum, an aluminum alloy, or stainless steel, or may be made of a material such as ceramic.

Specifically, the discharge plate 150 may be made of SUS304 of SUS300 series, which is excellent in corrosion resistance, acid resistance, and heat resistance, as stainless steel, and may be formed of 304J1 material for the purpose of improving antibacterial properties and hygienic properties.

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

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the use of the discharge plate 150 formed of SUS300 series stainless steel can maintain the sanitation of the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 on which the cosmetics discharged by the pump 120 are placed and on which the cosmetics are continuously smeared cleanly, and can effectively prevent corrosion and the like.

In the present embodiment, the discharge plate 150 made of a metal material can effectively generate heat, and a cooling effect of reducing the temperature of the cosmetic can be achieved.

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

However, if the discharge plate 150 directly presses the impregnated sponge, the temperature of the discharge plate 150 and the temperature of the impregnated sponge are balanced as the impregnated sponge and the discharge plate 150 are continuously in contact with each other, and thus, when the cosmetic is discharged from the impregnated sponge, there is a possibility that the cosmetic cannot be cooled by the discharge plate 150, and air may flow into the impregnated sponge through the discharge port 151 of the discharge plate 150, thereby contaminating the cosmetic contained in the impregnated sponge.

However, in the present embodiment, even if the impregnated sponge is used, the guide plate 130, the mesh member 140, and the like are disposed between the discharge plate 150 and the impregnated sponge, so that the discharge plate 150 can be separated from the discharge means of the impregnated sponge and the like to prevent the occurrence of the above-described disadvantages.

That is, in the present embodiment, the discharge plate 150 is spaced apart from the discharge unit that discharges the cosmetic, so that the discharge plate 150 can be maintained at a relatively lower temperature than the temperature of the cosmetic, and thus the cosmetic discharged through the discharge unit is cooled when it comes into contact with the discharge plate 150, thereby providing a user with an extreme sense of satisfaction.

In addition, in the present embodiment, since the vacuum pump 120 is used as the discharge unit, even if air flows in through the discharge port 151 formed in the discharge plate 150, the air is prevented from being transferred to the cosmetic contained in the pump 120, and the cosmetic can be protected from contamination. Also, in the present embodiment, in the case of using the pump 120, when compared with the case of using the impregnated sponge, the use margin can be minimized to about 5%.

The cosmetic sticks to the upper surface of the discharge plate 150, and when a user rubs the cosmetic stuck to the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 with a puff or the like, the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 may be worn due to powder or the like contained in the cosmetic. Therefore, in the present embodiment, by coating the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 or plating with a specific material, the durability of the discharge plate 150 can be prevented from being lowered even if a user rubs the cosmetic on 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 chrome plating may be performed, for example. Specifically, trivalent chromium plating or hexavalent chromium plating may be applied to the discharge plate 150.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the discharge plate 150 is formed of a metal material, and chrome plating is performed on at least one surface of the discharge plate 150, so that all of the hygiene, antibacterial properties, and durability can be ensured, and the cosmetics applied to the discharge plate 150 can be easily wiped, so that the cosmetics can be used cleanly, and the convenience of the user can be improved. This is because, in the present embodiment, the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 is directly exposed to the outside by preventing an additional member from being placed on the upper surface of the discharge plate 150.

The discharge channels 132 of the guide plate 130 are formed radially, the mesh part 141 of the mesh member 140 is formed to include the discharge channels 132 of the guide plate 130, and the discharge ports 151 may be formed radially like the discharge channels 132.

In this case, the radial discharge ports 151 may have a larger diameter as they are farther from the center of the discharge plate 150. The cosmetics are discharged from the center by the pump 120 to flow along the discharge passage 132 of the guide plate 130, and thus the flow rate of the cosmetics is relatively reduced as it goes farther from the center. Therefore, if the diameters of the discharge ports 151 are all the same, the cosmetic may be unevenly distributed on the upper surface of the discharge plate 150, and thus the discharge ports 151 become larger as they are farther from the center.

As described above, the discharge port 151 may not be formed in the central 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 cosmetic may penetrate through the discharge port 131 of the guide plate 130 and the mesh portion 141 of the mesh member 140 at a time, and may be scattered through the discharge port 151 of the discharge plate 150.

The diameter of the discharge port 151 formed in the discharge plate 150 may be 0.1 to 1mm, which is very small. The reason for reducing the diameter of the discharge port 151 is to allow a user to easily and finely adjust the amount of cosmetic discharged to the upper portion of the discharge plate 150 by the pump 120, and to prevent foreign substances from flowing into the inside through the discharge port 151.

Specifically, the discharge ports 151 may be radially spaced at 45-degree intervals with respect to the center of the discharge plate 150, and 3 discharge ports may be provided in parallel in a predetermined direction away from the center of the discharge plate 150. In this case, the diameters of the 3 ejection openings 151 arranged side by side may be 0.3mm, 0.4mm, and 0.5mm in order of approaching from the center of the ejection plate 150.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, since the discharge plate 150 having the discharge port 151 with a very small diameter as described above is provided in the pump 120 of the vacuum pump type, the contact of the cosmetic with the air is blocked to the maximum extent, and thus, the volatilization of a part of the components contained in the cosmetic can be sufficiently prevented.

Since the discharge opening 151 has a very small diameter, it is difficult to accurately produce the discharge opening 151 when the discharge plate 150 is produced by injection molding. Therefore, in the present embodiment, after the discharge plate 150 is manufactured, the discharge opening 151 is formed by Etching (Etching), thereby manufacturing the discharge opening 151 having a thickness of 0.1 mm.

In order to allow the discharge port 151 of the discharge plate 150 to correspond to the discharge passage 132 of the radial guide plate 130, a protrusion 137 may be formed on one side of the guide plate 130, and a coupling port 152 to which the protrusion 137 is coupled may be formed in the discharge plate 150. That is, the discharge plate 150 can be placed on the guide plate 130 by engaging the engaging holes 152 with the protrusions 137 of the guide plate 130, so that the placement angle of the discharge plate 150 is restricted as described above with respect to the mesh member 140. For the details related thereto, the contents explained in the above-mentioned recessed portion 142 and protruding portion 136 portions are replaced.

The rim 160 is combined with the upper portion of the guide panel 130 and the container body 110. The edge portion 160 may include a medial edge portion 161 and a lateral edge portion 162. The inner edge 161 is coupled to the guide plate 130 so as to surround the edge of the discharge plate 150, and can be fixed in a state where the guide plate 130, the mesh member 140, and the discharge plate 150 are pressed against each other. At this time, the inside of the inner edge 161 can expose the discharge plate 150 to the outside in a penetrating manner, and the cosmetic discharged to the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 can be exposed to the outside.

The inboard edge 161 may be integrally formed with the ejection plate 150. This is because the ejection plate 150 is lowered together with the lowering of the inner edge 161. In this case, the material of the inner edge 161 may be the same as or similar to the material of the discharge plate 150, and may be made of a metal material such as iron, stainless steel, copper, zinc, tin, or aluminum, an alloy of such a material, or a plated metal material, for example. The inner edge 161 may be plated with a metal material such as chromium, copper, silver, or gold, similarly to the discharge plate 150, in order to improve the appearance, durability, and the like.

The outer edge portion 162 may be disposed outside the inner edge portion 161 and coupled to the container body 110. However, the outer edge 162 is not fixed to the inner edge 161, and allows the inner edge 161 to be lifted up and down, and surrounds the outer side of the inner edge 161. For this, the inner serrations 611 are formed on the outer surface of the inner edge 161, and the outer serrations 1621 corresponding to the inner serrations 1611 of the outer edge 162 are formed on the inner surface of the inner edge 161, so that the outer edge 162 can restrict the rotation of the inner edge 161 and allow the ascending and descending.

In the side surface of the outer edge 162, a hinge coupling portion of the cover 180 and a portion where the hook portion 172 is formed may be recessed to avoid interference between the structures when coupling.

The outer edge 62 is coupled to a housing 170, which will be described later, and the inner edge 161 can be lifted and lowered with respect to the outer edge 162, thereby operating the pump 120. That is, when the user presses the discharge plate 150 inside the inner edge portion 161 with a powder puff (not shown) or the like while holding the casing 170, the inner edge portion 161 coupled to the discharge plate 150 is lowered inside the outer edge portion 162 coupled to the casing 170, and the guide plate 130 is lowered together with the lowering of the pump 120, so that the cosmetic can be supplied to the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 and the inside of the inner edge portion 161. Therefore, the user can apply the cosmetic exposed to the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 to the skin by applying the cosmetic to the skin with a puff or the like.

The housing 170 has a structure surrounding the periphery of the container body 110. The case 170 has a space for placing the container body 110, however, an opening portion 171 for exposing the container body 110 may be formed under the case 170. This is because, when the user pushes the container body 110 upward through the opening 171 of the housing 170, the user separates the container body 110 and the like to replace the container body 110.

The upper surface of the housing 170 may be covered with the outer edge 162, the inner edge 161, and the ejection plate 150 in this order from the outside toward the center. Therefore, the user cannot observe the guide plate 130 or the net member 140, the pump 120, etc. from the outside, and thus in the present embodiment, the aesthetic appearance can be improved to improve the satisfaction of the user.

The housing 170 may include a hook portion 172. The hook 172 is coupled to the cover 180 to block the opening of the cover 180, and the hook 172 may be integrally formed with a button 1721 and a catch 1722. That is, in the hook portion 172, when the user presses the button 1721, the catch 1722 also moves in the pressing direction, and the catch 1722 is released from the cover 180 to control the opening and closing of the cover 180.

The cover 180 opens and closes one side (upper side in the present embodiment) of the housing 170. One side of the cover 180 may be hinge-coupled to the housing 170, and the cover 180 may be rotated with reference to the center of the hinge to open the upper portion of the housing 170. At this time, the cover 180 may be fixed in a state of sealing the upper portion of the housing 170 by the hook 172 as described above.

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

A mirror 81 may be provided inside the cover 180, and a user may open the cover 180 and use the cosmetic by pressing the discharge plate 150 or the inner edge 161 while looking at the mirror 81 to discharge the cosmetic from the container body 110.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the cosmetics are discharged from the pump 120, the movement of the cosmetics is restricted by the net member 140 to prevent the cosmetics from being ejected from the upper surface of the ejection plate 150, so that the user can use the cosmetics conveniently and cleanly.

Fig. 7 is an exploded perspective view of a cosmetic container according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 8 is a sectional view of the cosmetic container according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

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

Hereinafter, the structure of the present embodiment will be described with emphasis on the portions different from the first embodiment. However, the structure of the present embodiment and the structure of the first embodiment cannot be said to have the same reference numerals and certainly means the same structure.

In order to secure a space where the button part 190 described later is located, the guide plate 130 may have a disk shape with one side cut, and in this case, the projection proposed in the first embodiment may be omitted. However, the discharge port 131 and the discharge passage 132, etc., formed at the upper portion of the guide plate 130 may be the same as the first embodiment.

The discharge plate 150 has a circular plate shape with one side cut, and the coupling port 152 is omitted, as in the guide plate 130. However, since both the guide plate 130 and the discharge plate 150 have a disk shape with one side cut, the alignment can be smoothly performed without providing the projection or the coupling opening included in the first embodiment.

The rim 160 is combined with the upper portion of the guide panel 130 and the container body 110. In the present embodiment, since the pump 120 can be operated by the button 190, the rim 160 of the present embodiment may be formed as an integral single body unlike the rim 160 of the first embodiment, and may not be lifted or lowered because it is firmly fixed to the container body 110.

The edge portion 160 may be formed with a through hole 163 for exposing one side of a button portion 190, which will be described later, to the outside. As will be described later, the push button 190 operates the pump 120 as the projection 193 is pressed by the user, and therefore, the projection 193 is preferably exposed to the outside to allow the user to apply pressure. Therefore, the edge portion 160 is provided with the through hole 63, so that the user can easily use the button portion 190.

The button 190 is provided above the pump 120, and operates the pump 120 by pressurization. When the portion exposed through the through hole 163 of the rim 160 is pressurized by a user, the button 190 lowers the lifting member 123 of the pump 120 to discharge the cosmetics contained in the pump 120 to the outside, and the button 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 elevation member 123, the other end of the auxiliary button 191 is inclined downward, and the auxiliary button 191 is placed on the container body 110 (specifically, on the upper body 111) to provide an elastic force to a main button 192, which will be described later.

The main button 192 is placed on the upper portion of the auxiliary button 191, a protrusion 193 is formed at one end of the main button 192, and a part of the main button 192 is placed on the upper surface of the elevating member 123. At this time, in the upper surface of the elevating member 123, a portion where one end of the auxiliary button 191 is placed and a portion where a portion of the main button 192 is placed may be located at diametrically opposite positions. This is to stably lower the elevation member 123 without tilting when the elevation member 123 is lowered by the main button 192 and the auxiliary button 191.

The protrusion 193 of the main button 192 is exposed to the through hole 163 of the rim 160 and can be pressed by a user. When the user presses the protrusion 193, a portion of the main button 192 positioned on the upper surface of the elevating member 123 moves down, and one end of the auxiliary button 191 pressed by the main button 192 positioned on the upper surface of the elevating member 123 moves down. Therefore, the lifting member 123 can be lowered by the main button 192 and the auxiliary button 191 to discharge the cosmetics to the discharge plate 150.

Of course, in this embodiment, instead of the push button 190, a push button (not shown) may be provided which protrudes to the side of the container main body 110 and activates the pump 120 when pressurized by the user. In the present embodiment, various configurations for operating the pump 120 are possible, and for example, a configuration for operating the pump 120 by a screw rotation method may be included.

As described above, in the present embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the rim portion 160 does not directly descend, but the cosmetics are discharged to the discharge plate 150 by the push button portion 190, so that in the first embodiment, when the user presses the discharge plate 150 with a puff or the like to discharge the cosmetics, there is a possibility that the discharge port 151 is blocked by the puff, thereby making up for a problem that the cosmetics cannot be smoothly discharged, and the cosmetics can be more easily discharged, thereby maximizing the satisfaction of the user.

Fig. 9 is a plan view of a guide plate of a cosmetic container according to a third embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 10 is a plan view of a mesh member of the cosmetic container according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 9 and 10, when the cosmetic container according to the third embodiment of the present invention is compared with the above-described embodiments, the discharge path 132 of the guide plate 130 and the mesh part 141 of the mesh member 140 are different. Hereinafter, the structure of the present embodiment, which is different from the first and second embodiments, will be described with emphasis on the following. However, the reference numerals of the structure of the present embodiment and the structure of the first and second embodiments are not the same and certainly mean the same structure.

The guide plate 130 is combined with an upper portion of the pump 120, thereby guiding the cosmetics discharged by the pump 120. As described in the first embodiment, the guide plate 130 has the discharge port 131, the discharge passage 132, and the edge passage 133, and the discharge passage 132 is more distant from the discharge port 131, which is the center of the guide plate 130, and the guide plate 130 has a shape of being reduced or expanded.

When the cosmetic is discharged from the pump 120, the cosmetic moves along the discharge path 132 through the discharge port 131 and is then discharged to the outside through the discharge port 151 of the discharge plate 150, and in order to discharge the cosmetic from the discharge port 151 located at a position away from the center of the discharge plate 150, it is necessary to sufficiently fill the cosmetic at one point from the discharge port 131 to the discharge path 132 (a point communicating with the discharge port 151 located at a position away from the center), and there is a possibility that the discharge amount of the cosmetic in the discharge port 151 located at a position away from the center is insufficient.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the discharge channel 132 is reduced as it is farther from the discharge port 131, so that the remaining amount of the cosmetic in the discharge channel 132 is minimized, and a sufficient amount of the cosmetic can be discharged even when the discharge port 151 of the discharge plate 150 is located at a position farther from the center of the discharge plate 150.

The net member 140 is provided on the side of the pump 120 from which the cosmetic is discharged, and at least a part of the net member 140 has a mesh shape. That is, since the cosmetic is discharged to the outside through the mesh part 141 in the net member 140, the cosmetic discharged from the pump 120 can be prevented from scattering when the cosmetic having a low viscosity is used in this embodiment.

The mesh portion 141 has a shape corresponding to the discharge passage 132. That is, the mesh portions 141 are radially formed so as to correspond to the discharge passages, and the mesh portions 141 may be formed so as to be reduced or expanded (preferably reduced) as they are farther from the center. This is to allow the mesh portion 141 to sufficiently cover the discharge passage 132, thereby preventing the low-viscosity cosmetics from being scattered.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the discharge path 132 of the guide plate 130 is reduced as it is separated from the discharge port 131, and a sufficient amount of cosmetic is discharged from all the discharge ports 151 formed in the discharge plate 150, thereby improving the satisfaction of the user.

Fig. 11 is a perspective view of a cosmetic container according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, fig. 12 is a 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 part of the cosmetic container according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 11 to 13, the cosmetic container 11 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention further includes a locking part 1100. Hereinafter, the structure of the present embodiment, which is different from the first to third embodiments, will be described with emphasis on the following. However, the structure of the present embodiment cannot be said to have the same reference numerals as those of the first to third embodiments and certainly means the same structure.

The locking part 1100 limits discharge of the cosmetics of the pump 120. A portion of the locking portion 1100 protrudes toward the exterior face of the housing 170 so as to be pressurized by a user as needed to limit the operation of the pump 120.

The lock portion 1100 is included in the present embodiment because, when the user presses the discharge plate 150 and discharges the cosmetic from the pump 120 to the upper surface of the discharge plate 150, and then the cosmetic is spread evenly on the discharge plate 150 by the puff, the user presses the discharge plate 150 while rubbing the cosmetic with the puff, and there is a possibility that the user may unintentionally cause the discharge of the cosmetic.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, since the lock 1100 is provided, the user can easily stick the cosmetic discharged from the discharge plate 150 with the puff after discharging a desired amount of the cosmetic to the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 and then press the lock 1100 to restrict the discharge of the cosmetic.

For this, it is preferable that the locking part 1100 is formed at the housing 170 held by a user, and at least one locking part 1100 is provided, so that the discharge of the pump 120 can be smoothly restricted regardless of which locking part 1100 is operated. As an example, the locking parts 1100 may be provided at the left and right of the hinge coupling part of the housing 170 and the cover 180, respectively.

The lock portion 1100 includes an elastic piece 1101, a protrusion 1102, and a lock protrusion 1103. The elastic piece 1101 protrudes to at least one side (preferably, both sides) of the lock portion 1100 by a predetermined length and has elastic force. The elastic force of the elastic piece 1101 acts on the protrusion 1102, and when no external force is applied, the protrusion 1102 can be protruded to the outside of the container main body 110.

One end of the elastic sheet 1101 may be connected to a protrusion 1102 described later, and the other end of the elastic sheet 1101 may be closely attached to the outer surface of the container body 110. At this time, when the user presses the protrusion 1102 inward, the other end of the elastic sheet 1101 slides along the outer surface of the container main body 110, and the protrusion 1102 is allowed to be drawn in.

The protrusion 1102 is exposed to the outside of the housing 170 and is pressed by a user. For this purpose, 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 surface shape so that a user can easily press the protrusion to improve the appearance, and a friction surface may be formed on an outer surface of the protrusion 1102 to improve the convenience of the user.

The projection 1102 receives the elastic force of the elastic sheet 1101 in the outward direction with respect to the center of the pump 120, and moves in the center direction of the pump 120 when pressed by a user. At this time, the locking portion 1100 may achieve locking as the locking protrusion 1103 moves together with the protrusion 1102.

The locking protrusion 1103 is provided on the protrusion 1102 to restrict the discharge plate 150 from descending. Specifically, when the projection 1102 is pressed by the user, the locking projection 1103 can move from the outside to the inside with reference to the center of the pump 120, and the locking projection 1103 moving to the inside regulates the lowering of the discharge plate 150.

At this time, the upper surface of the lock projection 1103 is in close contact with the lower end of the inner rim 161, which is a structure of the rim 160 that can be lowered, to restrict the lowering of the inner rim 161, thereby restricting the lowering of the discharge plate 150 and restricting the discharge of the cosmetic from the pump 120.

Of course, this embodiment can be used in combination with the button part 190 described in the above second embodiment, and in this case, the locking part 1100 can restrict the lowering of the button part 190 to prevent the operation of the pump 120. At this time, lock projection 1103 of lock portion 1100 is brought into close contact with the lower surface of push button portion 190 by lead-in projection 1102, and operation of push button portion 190 can be restricted.

As described above, in the present embodiment, after the cosmetics are discharged to the discharge plate 150, the user can easily restrict the operation of the pump 120 by the locking portion 1100, and thus even if the user presses the cosmetics discharged to the discharge plate 150 with the puff and spreads them uniformly, the discharge of the cosmetics is prevented, so that the waste of the cosmetics is prevented, and the satisfaction of the user can be greatly improved.

Hereinafter, the cooling effect of the cosmetic container 11 according to the present invention will be demonstrated and described using specific experimental data.

Fig. 14 is a graph showing user satisfaction with respect to the cooling effect of the cosmetic container of the present invention, and fig. 15 is a graph showing a temperature change of the cosmetic container of the present invention.

The following table 1 shows the satisfaction of the user when the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention and the conventional cosmetic container were left to stand for 1 minute under a specific temperature condition, and the scale was 5 points, which was obtained by averaging the satisfaction investigated by 50 users. The numerical values of table 1 are graphed and shown in fig. 14.

TABLE 1

Referring to table 1 and fig. 14, the cosmetic container 11 according to the present invention includes a discharge unit 120 formed of a pump (specifically, a vacuum pump) 120 or a dipping sponge, and a discharge plate 150, and thus the embodiment can be classified into two types according to the kind of the discharge unit 120. Further, conventional cosmetic containers can be classified into a case where cosmetics are discharged by a vacuum pump and a case where cosmetics are discharged by an impregnated sponge.

In the case of the embodiment including the vacuum pump 120 and the metal discharge plate 150, the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention is more satisfactory to the user than the other embodiments of the present invention and the conventional cosmetic container when stored at each temperature and used.

In the case of the embodiment including the impregnated sponge and the metal discharge plate 150, the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention is more satisfactory to the user than the conventional cosmetic container when stored at each temperature and used.

As described above, the user satisfaction of the cool feeling effect of the cosmetic container 11 according to the present invention is higher than that of the conventional cosmetic container because the cosmetic discharged from the vacuum pump 120 or the impregnated sponge is effectively cooled by the discharge plate 150 made of a metal material. In contrast, the conventional cosmetic container, which is composed of only a vacuum pump or an impregnated sponge, cannot produce the effect of cooling the cosmetics at all, and thus it is calculated that the user satisfaction is low.

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

	0	15	30	45	60	(1 second)
							Vacuum pump + metal spitting plate	45.8	40	38.1	31	27.5	Temperature of
Impregnated sponge and metal spitting plate	46.4	43	41.3	35	31.1	Temperature of
							Vacuum pump	47	45	42.6	38.5	35.2	Temperature of
Impregnated sponge	47.4	46.5	43.7	41.7	39.6	Temperature of

Table 2 shows the temperatures of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention and the conventional cosmetic container stored for a predetermined time under the condition of a specific temperature (50 degrees) (each cosmetic container is placed in a thermostat of a predetermined maintenance temperature and stored until the temperature of the thermostat is completely transferred to the container, and in this experiment, the containers are stored for 4 hours), and after the containers are left to stand at a normal temperature (20 degrees) for 1 minute, the surface of the container (which means the surface to which a user applies a cosmetic with a puff, in the case of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention, the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 is measured by time, in the case of the conventional cosmetic container provided with a vacuum pump, the discharge port portion of the vacuum pump, and in the case of the conventional cosmetic container provided with an impregnated sponge, the upper surface of the impregnated sponge). The average value was represented by measuring 3 pieces for each example, and the numerical values in table 2 were plotted and shown in fig. 15.

Referring to table 2 and fig. 15, it was confirmed that in the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention, when the vacuum pump 120 was used as the discharge unit 120 in the example, the surface temperature sharply decreased when observed at 15 second intervals from the time when 1 minute passed after standing at normal temperature, and the surface cooled to 27.5 degrees after 60 seconds passed.

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

However, since the conventional cosmetic container does not include a structure that can realize a rapid temperature drop when exposed to a room temperature condition after being stored at 50 degrees, the conventional cosmetic container having the vacuum pump is maintained at 35 degrees or more after 60 seconds, and the conventional cosmetic container having the impregnated sponge is maintained at about 40 degrees after 60 seconds.

That is, when the above experimental data is observed, the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention is heated to 50 degrees in the discharge plate 150 made of a metal material, and when exposed to a room temperature of 20 degrees, a temperature drop occurs rapidly, and when the cosmetic is discharged to the upper surface of the discharge plate 150, a cool effect can be imparted to the cosmetic. Therefore, it is understood that the cooling effect of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention is clearly shown by the temperature measurement result, and is more remarkable when compared with the conventional cosmetic container, so that the present invention can greatly improve the satisfaction of users.

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

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, and when the cosmetic is discharged, heat in the cosmetic is released to the outside, so that satisfaction of the user with a cooling feeling can be maximized.

Hereinafter, the antibacterial effect of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention will be demonstrated and described using specific experimental data.

Fig. 16 is a graph showing the degree of bacterial growth of the cosmetic container of the present invention, fig. 17 is a graph showing the degree of staining of a conventional impregnated sponge, and table 3 is a table showing the bacterial growth values of the cosmetic container of the present invention and the conventional cosmetic container. The values in table 3 are plotted in fig. 16.

In the case of the experiments in fig. 16 and table 3, cosmetics to which no preservative was added were used, and in the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention, experiments were performed in a manner divided into a case where the discharge unit 120 was the vacuum pump 120 and a case where the discharge unit 120 was the impregnated sponge, and experiments were performed using a conventional cosmetic container having the impregnated sponge as a control group. And, the user was allowed to stick the cosmetic in the cosmetic container with a puff for 4 weeks for application.

In the case of the experiment in fig. 17, the ultraviolet blocking agent (product containing disodium phenylbenzimidazole sulfonate that fluoresces in an ultraviolet lamp) was applied to the skin, and the cosmetic applied to the impregnated sponge was used for 1 to 2 weeks according to the general usage method, and it was confirmed by the ultraviolet lamp whether or not the ultraviolet blocking agent remained in the impregnated sponge.

TABLE 3

Structure of the product	1 week	2 weeks	3 weeks	4 weeks
					Vacuum pump + metal spitting plate	20	20	20	20
Impregnated sponge and metal spitting plate	20	10000	30000	100000
					Impregnated sponge	10000	700000	1000000	1000000

Since the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention includes the metal discharge plate 150, even if the user applies the cosmetic discharged from the discharge plate 150 with the powder puff, the horny substance or the like stuck to the skin of the user cannot be introduced into the discharge unit 120 except the discharge port 151 of the discharge plate 150. Therefore, as shown in table 3 and fig. 16, it was confirmed that when the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention was compared with a conventional cosmetic container not provided with the discharge plate 150, the occurrence of bacterial growth was relatively very small or did not occur at all.

In the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention, the diameter of the discharge port 151 of the discharge plate 150 is formed sufficiently small (within 11 mm), and therefore, even if the discharge unit 120 is structurally communicated with the outside through the discharge port 151, it is substantially difficult to supply nutrients such as cutin to bacteria. In addition, in the case where the vacuum pump 120 is used for the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention, the discharge port 151 can be disposed so as to be offset from the outlet of the vacuum pump 120, and therefore, the supply of nutrients can be completely blocked. Therefore, it was confirmed that in the case where the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention uses the vacuum pump 120, bacterial growth did not occur at all.

In contrast, in the conventional cosmetic container using the impregnated sponge, the entire upper surface of the impregnated sponge is exposed to the outside, and the puff is in direct contact with the impregnated sponge, so that the keratin or the like attached to the puff is continuously supplied to the bacteria in the impregnated sponge. Therefore, it is known that bacteria rapidly increase in value as the cosmetic is discharged from the impregnated sponge by the puff.

In particular, referring to fig. 17, it was clearly confirmed that the ultraviolet blocking agent applied to the skin of the user moved to the impregnated sponge as the user used the cosmetic impregnated in the impregnated sponge with the puff. This means that the skin cutin of the user is also stuck to the impregnated sponge, and it is known that bacterial growth frequently occurs in the conventional cosmetic container.

In contrast, the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention may effectively block the puff from directly contacting the discharge unit 120 using the discharge plate 150. In particular, in the case where the vacuum pump 120 is used for the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention, even if a user continues to use the cosmetic with a puff, the keratin or the like cannot flow into the cosmetic contained in the vacuum pump 120 at all structurally.

As described above, the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention is provided with the discharge plate 150 having the discharge port 151 having a small diameter, thereby preventing the puff from directly contacting the outlet of the discharge unit 120, and preventing nutrients from being supplied to bacteria remaining in the cosmetic through the puff when a user uses the puff to make up, thereby completely blocking contamination of the cosmetic.

Table 4 below is a table showing the bacterial survival values of the cosmetic containers of the present invention. In this experiment, bacteria (e.coli, purulent bacillus, pseudomonas aeruginosa) or fungi (e.g., aspergillus niger, Candida albicans) were inoculated into the cosmetics (without preservative) in the discharge unit 120 of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention, and the number of bacteria was measured by day.

At this time, 1g of the cosmetic was collected and diluted 10 times in the neutralization solution, and then applied to the SDC medium, and cultured in a 37-degree thermostatic bath for 24 hours or more, and the number of bacterial colonies (number of bacteria) was observed to represent the number of bacteria, and 1g of the cosmetic was collected and diluted 10 times in the neutralization solution, and then applied to the SDA medium, cultured in a 30-degree thermostatic bath for 24 hours or more, and the number of bacterial colonies (number of bacteria) was observed to represent the number of bacteria.

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 can be prevented, and conversely, in the case of the impregnated sponge, air intrusion can be allowed to some extent.

Referring to table 4, it was confirmed that, when the discharge unit 120 of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention was the vacuum pump 120, both the bacteria and fungi were rapidly reduced to less than 20 the next day. This is because, in the case of the vacuum pump 120, since inflow of air or the like into the cosmetics contained therein is blocked, nutrients for survival cannot be supplied to bacteria at all.

On the contrary, in the case where the discharge unit 120 of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention is a dipping sponge, the number of bacteria is relatively large when comparing both bacteria and fungi with the case of using the vacuum pump 120.

That is, when considering the above experimental results, the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention uses the vacuum pump 120 as the discharge unit 120 instead of the dipping sponge, so that it is possible to minimize the existence of bacteria and to innovatively prevent the cosmetics from being contaminated.

Hereinafter, the durability and the hygienic property of the cosmetic container 11 according to the present invention will be described with reference to specific experimental data.

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

The discharge plate 150 of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention used in the experiment shown in fig. 18 was made of SUS304 stainless steel, and the discharge plate 150 used as the control was made of a general plastic.

As shown in fig. 18, it was confirmed that when the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 for discharging the cosmetic is rubbed with a puff about 20 times, no scratch is generated at all in the discharge plate 150 made of a metal material. However, it was clearly confirmed that many scratches were generated even when the plastic material was used only 20 times.

That is, in the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention, the discharge plate 150 is made of a non-plastic metal material, so that it is possible to effectively prevent the discharge plate 150 from being worn when the cosmetic is rubbed on the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 by the puff. Further, the present invention can suppress the occurrence of scratches, and thus can ensure hygiene along with durability when compared with a conventional cosmetic container 11 in which cosmetics remain on scratches, which affects the appearance and accelerates contamination.

At this time, the cosmetics used in the cosmetics container 11 of the present invention may contain calcium carbonate (CaCO)₃) Titanium oxide (TiO)₂) Since the cosmetic product includes an inorganic pigment having a strong hardness, there is a possibility that the discharge plate 150 may be worn when the cosmetic product is spread on the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 by a puff, such as Talc (Talc) or an inorganic pigment (inorganic pigment) as solid fine particles of natural minerals or metal compounds. Accordingly, the discharge plate 150 of the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention may have a Vickers Hardness (Vickers Hardness) value of 120HV to 200 HV. At this time, the vickers hardness value is a value measured by astm e92, and is obtained by quantifying the area of the depression when the measurement object is pressed with diamond.

Therefore, in the present invention, the vickers hardness value of the discharge plate 150 is set to 120HV or more, so that even when a cosmetic containing an inorganic pigment having a strong hardness is used, it is possible to effectively prevent the discharge plate 150 from being scratched or abraded when rubbing is caused by a puff. In the present invention, the vickers hardness of the discharge plate 150 is set to 200HV or less, so that the manufacturing components of the discharge plate 150 can be optimized, and the processing and molding (etching for forming the discharge port 151, etc.) can be easily performed.

Further, in the present invention, the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 is exposed to the outside, and the user can apply the cosmetic discharged on the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 by applying the cosmetic with a puff, so that the surface to which the cosmetic can be applied with the puff is spaced apart from the discharge unit 120, and the surface contacting the puff is wiped at any time, thereby providing an advantage of maintaining sanitation in a clean manner.

As shown in table 5 below, the hygiene perceived by 50 users during use was evaluated for the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention in which the discharge unit 120 was the vacuum pump 120 or the impregnated sponge and the conventional cosmetic container composed only of the vacuum pump or the impregnated sponge at a point of 5 full points, and as a result, it was confirmed that the cosmetic container 11 of the present invention was evaluated quite well in terms of hygiene when compared with the conventional cosmetic container. In particular, it is understood that the present invention can maximize the hygienic property by having the discharge plate 150 in comparison with the conventional cosmetic container composed of only the impregnated sponge.

TABLE 5

Therefore, in the present invention, the cosmetic discharged from the discharge unit 120 is placed on the upper surface of the discharge plate 150, and the cosmetic attached to the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 exposed to the outside can be wiped, so that it is possible to improve the hygiene and prevent the occurrence of skin problems for the user, compared to the conventional cosmetic container.

As described above, the outstanding cool feeling effect of the present invention can be found from experimental data such as satisfaction with a user who is cooling and surface temperature change, the antibacterial property can be found from experimental data such as the number of bacteria growing and the number of bacteria growing, and the sanitation along with the durability can be found from experimental data on whether or not scratches are generated and the satisfaction with a user who is sanitary. Therefore, the present invention has the effect of maximizing the overall satisfaction of the user through the various advantages as described above.

The present invention may include a fifth embodiment having the discharge plate 150 formed of a non-metal material instead of the metal material as described above. In this case, the discharge plate 150 may be formed of at least one material selected from the group consisting of plastic, tree, Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), nonmetallic mineral, paper, silicon, ceramic, rubber, and glass.

Alternatively, the ejection 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 discharge plate 150 made of a non-metallic material may be regarded as being made of a non-conductive material, and the discharge plate 150 made of a non-conductive material can prevent generation of static electricity or the like due to friction between the puff and the discharge plate 150 when a user rubs the puff on the discharge plate 150 in order to apply the cosmetic product exposed to the upper surface of the discharge plate 150.

That is, since the discharge plate 150 is formed of a non-conductive material, static electricity generated when rubbing with a puff for kneading the discharged cosmetic can be suppressed. However, the discharge plate 150 may be formed of a non-metallic material and may be formed of a material having a higher hardness than an inorganic pigment that is solid fine particles contained in the cosmetic. In this case, even if the discharge plate 150 is formed of a plastic material, the scratches shown in fig. 18 may not be generated.

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

Referring to fig. 19 and 20, a fibrous material 153 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 sixth embodiment of the present invention. The fibrous material 153 may be provided on the upper surface and/or the lower surface and/or the side surface of the discharge plate 150, and the fibrous material 153 may be provided on at least a part of the upper surface including the central portion, for example. In this case, the discharge plate 150 may be made of a metal or nonmetal, and in the present embodiment, the material of the discharge plate 150 is not particularly limited.

The fiber material 153 may be provided on one surface of the discharge plate 150 by ultrasonic welding, thermocompression bonding, or bonding with an adhesive, or the fiber material 153 may be provided on one surface of the discharge plate 150 so as to surround and cover one surface of the discharge plate 150, or the fiber material 153 may be bonded to the discharge plate 150 by an additional frame (not shown) that presses and fixes the fiber material 153 together with the edge of the discharge plate 150 after being placed on the upper surface of the discharge plate 150. In this case, the fiber material 153 corresponding to the area of the discharge plate 150 may be prepared, and then the fiber material 153 may be bonded to the discharge plate 150 by an adhesive method, a coating method, or the like, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost and achieving uniform coating. Of course, the present embodiment does not limit the manner in which the fiber material 153 is provided on the discharge plate 150 as described above.

The fiber material 153 provided in the discharge plate 150 may be formed of at least one material selected from the group consisting of natural fibers, artificial fibers, metal fibers, and glass fibers. As described above, in the present embodiment, by providing the fibrous material 153 on the face (specifically, the upper face) from which the cosmetic is discharged from the discharge plate 150, the user feels a soft touch when the user touches the upper face of the discharge plate 150 with a puff.

Therefore, the user can apply makeup while obtaining a soft touch feeling caused by rubbing the fibrous material 153 with the puff, and thus can obtain a comfortable feeling and a stable feeling.

The natural fibers that can form the fiber material 153 include hemp, silk, wool, or cotton, the artificial fibers that can form the fiber material 153 include rayon, acetate, nylon, polyester, acrylic, urethane, viscose, or tencel, and the metal fibers that can form the fiber material 153 include gold, silver, or iron.

Alternatively, the fibrous material 153 may be formed by flocking. Flocking is a processing method in which individual fibers 1531 are implanted on the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 to which an adhesive is applied by the principle of static electricity. At this time, the color or arrangement of the individual fibers 1531 may be variously formed. In particular, the individual fibers 1531 may be formed to be inclined in a single direction from one end attached to the discharge plate 150 to the tip. That is, all the individual fibers 1531 constituting the fiber material 153 may be provided obliquely in the parallel direction as shown in fig. 19.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 20, the individual fibers 1531 are formed to be inclined in a direction away from the center of the discharge plate 150 from the end attached to the discharge plate 150 to the tip. That is, the individual fibers 1531 may be formed radially, or the individual fibers 1531 may be formed obliquely toward the center of the discharge plate 150.

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

As described above, in the present embodiment, the fiber material 153 is formed on the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 by flocking or the like, so that when the user applies the cosmetic with the puff, a soft touch feeling can be obtained, and the satisfaction of the user can be greatly improved.

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

Referring to fig. 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 and/or the lower surface and/or the side surface of the discharge plate 150, and the film 154 may be provided on at least a part of the upper surface including the central portion, for example. However, the side on which the film 154 is provided may be the side from which the cosmetic is discharged through the discharge port 151.

In this case, as described in the sixth embodiment, the discharge plate 150 may 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 may be a metal film. That is, the thin film 154 may be a metal foil, and in this case, the material of the thin film 154 may be selected from a variety of materials such as gold, silver, copper, chromium, and a holographic metal.

The film 154 may be a sticking film that is stuck to one surface of the ejection plate 150. In this case, as shown in fig. 22, the adhesive film may be laminated on one surface of the discharge plate 150 in a plurality of layers, and each layer may be provided so as to be removable.

This is so that when the film 154 is damaged due to friction with the puff, a user can easily remove the damaged film 154. That is, when the film 154 is laminated into a plurality of layers, a user removes the films 154 one by one according to the use time, so that the appearance can be changed as new. In this case, the stacked films 154 may have colors, patterns, etc., different from each other. That is, the state of the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 may change each time the user removes the film 154.

When the film 154 is laminated in a plurality of layers, the film 154 may be provided with a recognition factor indicating the number of layers. In this case, the recognition factor may be a character such as a number, or may be a color in which the brightness, the chromaticity, and the like are sequentially increased or decreased.

The film 154 may have a thickness that is relatively thinner than the thickness of the ejection plate 150. This is because when the film 154 is removably provided, if the film 154 is thick, the user feels a different texture when removing the film 154, which is inconvenient.

For example, the thickness of the thin film 154 may be 1 to 50 micrometers, and specifically, the thickness of the thin film 154 may be 10 micrometers or less. Of course, the thickness of the film 154 may be sufficiently smaller than the thickness of the ejection plate 150, and is not limited numerically.

The present invention may further include an eighth embodiment in which at least a part of at least one surface of the ejection plate 150 is coated with a paint. In this case, the upper surface and/or the lower surface and/or the side surfaces of the discharge plate 150 may be coated, and may be formed on at least a part of the upper surface including the central portion. However, the application side may be a side from which the cosmetic is discharged through the discharge port 151. In this case, the ejection plate 150 may be made of a metal or a non-metal material.

The coating material may include a solvent, and may further include at least one selected from the group consisting of ceramic, metal, plastic, glass, paper, rubber, and silicon as a residual component for application to the ejection plate 150.

In the present embodiment, as the paint containing the solvent is sprayed and dried on the discharge plate 150, the solvent is removed, and ceramics or the like as a residual component contained in the paint is applied to one surface of the discharge plate.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, after the cleaning process of the upper surface of the discharge plate 150, the components such as ceramics included in the paint are applied to the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 through the processes such as paint spraying, drying, Ultraviolet (UV) coating, and ultraviolet curing.

In this case, the coating material may be applied to one surface of the discharge plate 150 by at least one selected from the group consisting of a matte coating, a glossy coating, a pearl coating, a metal coating, and a hologram coating, or the coating material may be applied to one surface of the discharge plate 150 by at least one selected from the group consisting of a rubber coating, an embossing coating, a photosensitive coating, a temperature sensitive coating, and a light storing coating.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the coating of ceramics or the like is performed on the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 through the paint spraying and drying process, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance and providing a plurality of colors or patterns to the upper surface of the discharge plate 150. In this example, the oxidation resistance, chemical resistance and abrasion resistance were improved by ceramic coating, and the prevention of contamination of the cosmetic and the skin stability were ensured, and even if rubbing with the puff was repeated several times, the coating could be prevented from peeling off.

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

Referring to fig. 23, the discharge plate 150 of the cosmetic container 11 according to the ninth embodiment of the present invention may be formed of a metal or non-metal material, and an outer plate or outer surface 155 formed by vapor deposition or plating may be provided on at least a part of at least one surface of the discharge plate 150. The outer surface 155 may be provided on the upper surface and/or the lower surface and/or the side surface of the ejection plate 150, and the outer surface 155 may be provided on at least a portion of the upper surface including the central portion. However, the side provided with the outer face 155 may be the side from which the cosmetic is discharged through the discharge port 151.

At this time, the outer face 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 the present embodiment, the surface of the discharge plate 150 is coated with metal to be finished to have a beautiful appearance, thereby increasing the added value of the cosmetic container 11. At this time, the outer face 155 may be formed by at least one of electroplating, electroless plating, and hot dip plating.

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

When the outer face 155 is formed by evaporation, the outer face 155 may be formed by physical Vapor Deposition (PV D) or Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). Physical vapor deposition is a method in which a solid substance is changed to a gas state by an electron beam, a laser beam, or plasma in a vacuum state, and the substance is condensed and crystallized on the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 to be deposited, and a metal such as aluminum, gold, silver, or copper can be used as a deposition substance. In contrast, the chemical vapor deposition is a method in which a substance to be deposited is moved in a gaseous state and is attached to the upper surface of the discharge plate 150 by a reaction of the gas.

Of course, in addition to the two types of methods described above, in the present embodiment, the outer surface 155 may be formed by depositing a material such as metal on the upper surface of the ejection plate 150 by a known method in various manners.

Thus, in the present embodiment, even if the discharge plate 150 made of a non-metal material is used, the outer surface 155 made of a metal material is formed, so that the user's satisfaction can be maximized by the beautiful appearance while ensuring the cool feeling effect and the like proposed in the first embodiment.

In addition to the first to ninth embodiments, the present invention may include an embodiment in which at least one selected from the first to ninth embodiments is combined, and in the sixth to ninth embodiments, when the fibrous material 153, the film 154, or the outer surface 155 or the surface of the coating discharge plate 150 is formed, a hole or a flow path communicating with the discharge port 151 is formed in the fibrous material 153, the film 154, the outer surface 155, or the like to prevent the discharge port 151 from being closed, thereby enabling smooth discharge of the cosmetic.

In the sixth to ninth embodiments, the portion of the discharge plate 150 processed by a fiber material, a film, a sticking film, coating, plating, vapor deposition, or the like may be referred to as a discharge plate processing portion having a material different from that of the discharge plate 150.

In the fifth embodiment, at least a part of one surface of the discharge plate 150 may be made of a non-metal material, and in this case, a part made of a non-metal material may be referred to as a discharge plate processing unit having a different material from the discharge plate 150.

Fig. 24 and 25 are perspective views of cosmetic containers according to tenth to fourteenth embodiments of the present invention. Fig. 24 shows a state where the cover 290 is closed, and fig. 25 shows a state where the cover 290 is opened.

Fig. 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 sectional view of the cosmetic container according to the tenth embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 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 diffusion portion 230, an adhesion surface 240, sealing materials 250 and 260, a rim 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, and the vacuum pump 210 is used to discharge the cosmetics contained therein to the outlet 211 by a user's operation or the like after the cosmetics are contained therein.

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

The cosmetic contained in the discharge unit 210 may be in various forms such as a liquid or a liquid mixed with a solid, and may be a composition having a plurality of components such as an emulsion or an ultraviolet blocking agent. That is, the ingredients, state, purpose of use, and the like of the cosmetic of the present invention are not particularly limited.

The discharge unit 210 discharges the cosmetics through the outlet 211, and at this time, the outlet 211 of the discharge unit 210 may be raised by an additionally provided elastic member (not shown). When the outlet 211 of the discharge unit 210 is pressurized downward by the discharge plate 220, etc., which will be described later, the cosmetics may 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 is reduced, the empty space may be gradually enlarged. However, the discharge unit 210 may be provided with a pressurizing plate (not shown) inside so as not to form an empty space in a portion where the cosmetics are placed.

When the 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 lowered, and thus may prevent air from flowing into the inside of the discharge unit 210 from the outside.

The pressure of the space in which the cosmetics are stored can be regulated by the pressure plate rising or falling as the cosmetics are discharged, and an air inlet (not shown) for allowing air to flow in may be formed at one side of the discharge unit 210 in order to allow the pressure plate to rise and fall.

That is, if the cosmetics leak from the discharge unit 210, the pressurizing plate may be raised or lowered, so that the space between the cosmetics and the outlet 211 may be reduced according to the discharge amount of the cosmetics. Thus, in the present embodiment, the cosmetics accommodated in the discharge unit 210 are placed in a state of not contacting the air, so that the cosmetics can be prevented from being contaminated.

In the present embodiment, a sponge soaked in the liquid cosmetic may be used as the discharge unit 210 instead of the vacuum pump 210. The sponge is pressurized by the diffuser 230, and the cosmetic contained therein can be discharged to the diffusion space 231 of the diffuser 230.

Since the cosmetic can be discharged upward from the entire upper surface when the sponge is pressurized, a pressurizing plate (not shown) communicating with the diffusing space 231 of the diffusing part 230 may be provided in the present embodiment when the sponge is used as the discharge unit 210. The pressurizing plate is provided to entirely cover the upper surface of the sponge to pressurize the sponge, and the cosmetic discharged from the sponge is supplied only to the diffusion space 231 of the diffusion part 230, thereby preventing the cosmetic from leaking to the outside. That is, the edge of the pressurizing plate is sealed inside the case 280, which will be described later, and a hole is formed in a portion of the pressurizing plate that communicates with the diffuser 230, so that the cosmetic discharged from the sponge can be smoothly transferred 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.

Also, in the present embodiment, the discharge unit 210 may be an elastically deformable bag. That is, the discharge unit 210 is provided in a bag shape that can change a volume, and the size of the discharge unit 210 can be naturally reduced when discharging the cosmetics. For example, the discharge unit 210 may be in the form of a balloon or the like.

The discharge plate 220 has at least one discharge port 221 provided at one side of the discharge unit 210 to pass through the cosmetic. The discharge plate 220 may be made of a metal material such as rust-proof iron, stainless steel, copper, zinc, tin, or aluminum, and the discharge plate 220 may be made of an alloy of such a material or a metal material plated with such a material. In particular, when plating the discharge plate 220, it is preferable to use a material that gives corrosion resistance, stain resistance, antibacterial performance, a beautiful feeling, and an aesthetic feeling to a user by giving it corrosion resistance, stain resistance, antibacterial performance, and a beautiful feeling, and that satisfies hygienic properties.

In this case, the thickness of the discharge plate 220 is 0.1 to 1mm (preferably 0.2mm to 0.3mm), and the discharge plate 220 may be formed of a metal material having high corrosion resistance and being stainless, such as aluminum, an aluminum alloy, or stainless steel, or may be formed of a material such as ceramic.

Specifically, the discharge plate 220 may be made of SUS304 of SUS300 series, which is excellent in corrosion resistance, acid resistance, and heat resistance, as stainless steel, and may be formed of 304J1 material for the purpose of improving antibacterial properties and hygienic properties.

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

Therefore, in the present embodiment, by using the discharge plate 220 formed of SUS300 series stainless steel, the cosmetics discharged through the discharge unit 210 are placed, the upper surface of the discharge plate 220 continuously stained with the cosmetics can be kept sanitary and clean, and corrosion and the like can be effectively prevented.

In the present embodiment, the discharge plate 220 is made of a metal material, so that the discharge plate 220 can efficiently dissipate heat, and a cooling effect of reducing the temperature of the cosmetic can be achieved. In the other embodiment described above, the description is given by a table or the like.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the pump 210 is replaced with an impregnated sponge, and although described below, even if a sponge is used, the discharge plate 220 is disposed so as to be spaced apart from the sponge by the diffuser portion 230.

Therefore, the discharge plate 220 does not continuously contact the sponge, and even if the sponge is used as the discharge unit 210, the cosmetic can be cooled by the discharge plate 220. Also, the cosmetics are discharged through the diffusion part 230, so that the inflow of air into the sponge can be prevented, thereby completely blocking the contamination of the cosmetics.

The cosmetic sticks to the upper surface of the discharge plate 220, and when a user rubs the cosmetic stuck to the upper surface of the discharge plate 220 with a puff or the like, there is a possibility that the upper surface of the discharge plate 220 is abraded by powder or the like contained in the cosmetic. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the discharge plate 220 is made of a material having a hardness higher than that of the pigment contained in the cosmetic, or the upper surface of the discharge plate 220 is coated, or the upper surface of the discharge plate 220 is plated with a specific material, so that the durability of the discharge plate 220 can be prevented from being lowered even if a user rubs the cosmetic on the upper surface of the discharge 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 the plating may be performed with chromium, for example. Specifically, trivalent chromium plating or hexavalent chromium plating may be applied to the discharge plate 220.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the discharge plate 220 is formed of a metal material, and chromium is plated on at least one surface of the discharge plate 220, so that hygiene, antibacterial properties, and durability can be secured, and cosmetics stuck on the discharge plate 220 can be easily removed, so that the cosmetic can be used cleanly, and convenience of a user can be improved. This is because, in the present embodiment, the upper surface of the discharge plate 220 is directly exposed to the outside by preventing an additional member from being placed on the upper surface of the discharge plate 220.

The discharge plate 220 is provided with at least one discharge port 221 for discharging the cosmetic, and the discharge ports 221 may be radially provided with respect to the outlet 211 of the discharge unit 210. In this case, the radially-arranged discharge ports 221 may have a larger diameter as they are farther from the center of the discharge plate 220. The cosmetics are discharged from the center by the discharge unit 210 and spread along the spreading space 231, and thus the flow rate of the cosmetics is relatively reduced as it goes away from the center. Therefore, if the diameters of the discharge ports 221 are all the same, the cosmetic may be unevenly distributed on the upper surface of the discharge plate 220, and therefore, the discharge ports 221 are preferably larger as they are farther from the center.

The discharge ports 221 may be arranged in a form having a specific shape, in addition to being arranged radially. For example, the discharge port 221 may be provided in various shapes such as a circle, a polygon, and a star shape.

The discharge port 221 may be arranged to be shifted from the outlet 211 of the discharge unit 210. This is because when the cosmetic discharged from the discharge unit 210 is discharged directly to the discharge port 221 via the diffuser portion 230, the cosmetic having a low viscosity may be bounced up and cause inconvenience to the user.

The diameter of the discharge port 221 formed in the discharge plate 220 may be as small as 0.1 to 1 mm. The reason why the diameter of the discharge port 221 is small is to allow a user to easily and finely adjust the amount of cosmetic discharged to the upper portion of the discharge plate 220 through the discharge unit 210, and to prevent foreign substances from flowing into the inside through the discharge port 221.

Specifically, the discharge ports 221 may be radially formed at 45-degree intervals with respect to the center of the discharge plate 220, and 3 discharge ports 221 may be provided in parallel in a predetermined direction away from the center of the discharge plate 220. In this case, the diameters of the 3 discharge ports 221 arranged side by side may be 0.3mm, 0.4mm, and 0.5mm in order of approaching from the center of the discharge plate 220.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, since the discharge plate 220 provided with the discharge port 221 having a very small diameter as described above is used in the discharge unit 210 of the vacuum pump 210, the contact of the cosmetic with the air is blocked to the maximum extent, and thus, the volatilization of a part of the components contained in the cosmetic can be sufficiently prevented.

As described above, since the discharge port 221 has a very small diameter, it is difficult to accurately produce the discharge port 221 when the discharge plate 220 is produced by injection molding. Therefore, in the present embodiment, after the discharge plate 220 is manufactured, the discharge port 221 is formed by Etching (Etching), so that the discharge port 221 having a thickness of 0.1mm can be manufactured.

The spit plate 220 may be made of metal material as described above, however, in the low temperature environment in winter, the cooling effect may cause inconvenience to users. Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, the discharge plate 220 may be formed of at least one non-metallic material selected from the group consisting of plastic, tree, medium density fiberboard, non-metallic mineral, paper, silicon, ceramic, rubber, and glass.

The discharge plate 220 may be formed of a metal material if the cosmetics contained in the cosmetic container 21 of the present embodiment are cosmetics mainly used in summer, and the discharge plate 220 may be formed of a non-metal material if the cosmetics contained in the cosmetic container 21 are cosmetics mainly used in winter, etc., rather than cosmetics mainly used in summer.

In the case where the discharge plate 220 is a non-metallic material, the discharge plate 220 may 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, for example.

In this case, the discharge plate 220 made of a non-metallic material may be regarded as being made of a non-conductive material, and when a user rubs the puff on the discharge plate 220 in order to apply the cosmetic product exposed to the upper surface of the discharge plate 220, the discharge plate 220 made of a non-conductive material may prevent static electricity or the like due to friction between the puff and the discharge plate 220. That is, the discharge plate 220 is formed of a non-conductive material, so that it is possible to suppress generation of static electricity when rubbing against a puff for rubbing the discharged cosmetic.

The discharge plate 220 may be made of a metal or nonmetal material, and a fiber material may be provided on one surface of the upper surface of the discharge plate 220 by flocking, a film may be formed by coating, or an outer surface may be formed by vapor deposition.

In addition, the processing of one surface of the discharge plate 220 can be variously realized in a direction of improving the satisfaction of the user. That is, in the present invention, the material of the discharge plate 220, the presence or absence of processing of one surface, the processing method, the processing material, and the like are not limited. That is, the discharge plate 220 of the present embodiment may include the contents related to the discharge plate 150 described in the first to ninth embodiments and the like.

A coupling port 222 may be formed at one side of the discharge plate 220. At this time, the coupling port 222 may be engaged with the coupling protrusion 236 of the diffuser portion 230, and the discharge plate 220 may be placed on the diffuser portion 230 as the coupling port 222 is engaged with the coupling protrusion 236.

The engagement opening 222 and the engagement protrusion 236 are utilized to limit the angle at which the ejection plate 220 is positioned. That is, in order to communicate the discharge port 221 formed in the discharge plate 220 with the diffusion space 231 formed in the diffusion portion 230, there is a structural limitation in that the angle at which the discharge plate 220 needs to be placed is limited.

Of course, in addition to the above, the discharge plate 220 may be provided with the coupling projection 236, the diffusion portion 230 may be provided with the coupling port 222, and the angle of the discharge plate 220 may be regulated by various known structures. However, even if the angle at which the discharge plate 220 is placed is changed, if the discharge of the cosmetic is not performed, that is, if the discharge port 221 of the discharge plate 220 is arranged in a circular shape and the diffusion space 231 is also circular, the configuration of the coupling port 222 and the coupling protrusion 236 may be omitted.

The diffusion part 230 is provided with a diffusion space 231, and the diffusion space 231 is provided between the discharge plate 220 and the discharge unit 210, and is used for transferring the cosmetic discharged by the discharge unit 210 to the discharge port 221. The diffuser 230 is configured to separate the discharge plate 220 from the discharge unit 210, and is configured to deliver the cosmetic discharged from one outlet 211 to each of the plurality of discharge ports 221. For this, the diffusion space 231 and the outlet 211 of the discharge unit 210 may communicate with each other by means of the communication port 232.

The diffuser 230 can uniformly deliver the cosmetic discharged from the outlet 211 of the discharge unit 210 to the discharge port 221, and at this time, the discharge port 221 can be increased in size as it is farther from the outlet 211 of the discharge unit 210, so that sufficient cosmetic can be discharged to the respective discharge ports 221 through the diffusion space 231.

Further, since the vertical width of the diffusion space 231 is reduced as it goes to the outside, the cosmetic can be smoothly delivered to the discharge port 221 disposed at the outside. That is, the diffusion space 231 may be inclined to be higher upward as it goes outward.

Cosmetics are contained in the discharge unit 210, except for the outlet 211, to be isolated from the outside, thereby minimizing contamination. Further, since the cosmetic discharged to the upper surface of the discharge plate 220 comes into contact with air, there is a fear of occurrence of contamination, which can be used by a user in a short time, and there is no problem of contamination due to exposure for a long time. However, the cosmetic contained in the diffusion space 231 of the diffusion part 230 may have such a problem. This is because the cosmetic contained in the diffusion space 231 is more likely to come into contact with the air than the cosmetic contained in the discharge unit 210.

However, in the present embodiment, the cosmetics remaining in the diffusion portion 230 are minimized, so that the cosmetics can be prevented from being contaminated. For this purpose, the diffusion portion 230 may be provided with a contact surface 240, which will be described later, in a portion other than the diffusion space 231.

The diffuser portion 230 can be brought into close contact with the ejection plate 220 by the close contact surface 240 in a surface contact manner. In this case, the portion in surface contact may be an upper surface of the diffusion portion 230 and may be an outer portion of the diffusion space 231. This is to prevent cosmetic from leaking to the outside of the diffusion space 231 by separating only the diffusion space 231 from the discharge plate 220 and bringing the remaining part of the cosmetic into close contact with the discharge plate 220.

In this case, since the cosmetic remains only in the diffusion space 231, the cosmetic does not remain in the upper surface of the diffusion portion 230, and the like, and the remaining amount of the cosmetic can be minimized. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the use satisfaction of the user can be greatly improved.

The abutting surface 240 abuts against the ejection plate 220. The contact surface 240 is provided on the upper surface of the diffuser portion 230, and contacts the lower surface of the discharge plate 220, and contacts the diffuser portion 230 and the discharge plate 220. For this reason, a space for placing the close contact surface 240 may be formed on the upper surface of the diffuser portion 230. In this case, the space is a 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 define a position for holding the contact surface 240, the diffuser portion 230 may be provided with an edge protrusion 233. The edge projection 233 protrudes in the form of at least one arc or ring on the upper surface of the diffuser portion 230 at the edge of the contact surface 240, and surrounds the edge of the contact surface 240.

The close contact surface 240 is provided outside the diffusion space 231. The contact surface 240 allows the discharge plate 220 to be in contact with the diffuser 230, separates only the diffuser space 231 from the discharge plate 220, and allows the cosmetic to flow in. That is, the close contact surface 240 is provided outside the diffusion space 231, and the diffusion portion 230 is brought into close contact with the discharge plate 220 with respect to the remaining portion other than the diffusion space 231, thereby completely blocking the leakage of the cosmetic.

The contact surface 240 may be provided in a thin plate form, and may be provided integrally with the diffuser portion 230 on one surface of the diffuser portion 230. However, the close contact surface 240 may have a thickness thinner than the diffuser portion 230, and the close contact surface 240 may have a thickness relatively thicker than the ejection plate 220.

The contact surface 240 may be made of a material having a strong frictional force in order to firmly hold the diffusion portion 230 in contact with the ejection plate 220. For example, the contact surface 240 may be formed of a variety of materials such as a fiber material and a foamed resin. In this case, the close contact surface 240 may be formed of a material different from that of the diffuser portion 230, and in this case, the close contact surface 240 may be provided to the diffuser portion 230 by double injection.

The close-fitting surface 240 may be made of a foaming resin or the like, but in this case, the size of the foaming pores may be small so as not to allow the cosmetic to flow therein. This is because when the cosmetic is impregnated into the close contact surface 240, the close contact surface 240 cannot seal the cosmetic smoothly.

The abutting surface 240 may be integrally formed with the diffusing portion 230, or may be separately provided and placed on the upper surface of the diffusing portion 230. That is, contact surface 240 and diffuser portion 230 are manufactured together or separately, and when manufactured separately, contact surface 240 may be bonded to diffuser portion 230 with a known adhesive or may be fixed using a variety of known bonding structures.

The close contact surface 240 is provided outside the diffusion space 231 and makes the outside of the diffusion space 231 closely contact with the discharge plate 220, and in this case, the close contact surface 240 may have a form penetrating a portion corresponding to the diffusion space 231 in order to prevent the diffusion space 231 from being covered. In this case, the diffusion opening 241 may be referred to as a through portion formed in the close contact surface 240 and may communicate with the diffusion space 231.

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

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

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

The sealing member 250 may be made of a pressure-contact material such as rubber, and the sealing groove 234 having the sealing member 250 corresponds to the outside of the diffusion space 231, and the contact surface 240 may be disposed on the upper portion of the sealing member 250.

Therefore, the sealing member 250 can be pressed against the contact surface 240, and thus functions to prevent cosmetic leakage in a dual manner together with the contact surface 240. In particular, since the sealing member 250 has a height relatively higher than that of the sealing groove 234, the sealing member 250 placed in the sealing groove 234 pushes the contact surface 240, and thus the contact surface 240 and the discharge plate 220 can be more firmly held in contact with each other.

The sealing member 260 is disposed outside the contact surface 240. The sealing member 250 is provided at a lower portion of the contact surface 240, and the sealing member 260 is provided outside the contact surface 240, thereby achieving double contact. That is, the sealing member 250 is attached to the sealing member 250 in a vertically double manner, and the sealing member 260 is attached to the sealing member in an internally and externally double manner.

The sealing material 260 has the same/similar shape as the sealing material 250 described above, and may be made of the same/similar material. However, the sealing material 260 can be configured to have a wider width than the sealing material 250 described above.

In order to place the sealing member 260, a sealing groove 235 may be formed in the discharge plate 220, and in this case, the sealing groove 235 may be disposed outside the sealing groove 234. The seal groove 234 is used to provide the seal material 250 at the lower portion of the close contact surface 240, the seal groove 235 is used to provide the seal material 260 at the outer side of the close contact surface 240, and the seal groove 235 may be located at a position higher than the seal groove 234. The difference in height between the two sealing grooves 234, 235 is ultimately determined by the thickness of the contact surface 240.

The rim portion 270 engages the rim of the ejection plate 220. The brim 270 has a structure that enables the discharge plate 220 to be raised and lowered with reference to a case 280, which will be described later, and the brim 270 may include an inner brim 271 and an outer brim 272.

The inner rim portion 271 may surround the edge of the ejection plate 220 and be fixed to the ejection plate 220. At this time, the inside of the inner edge 271 is penetrated to expose the discharge plate 220 to the outside, and the cosmetic discharged to the upper surface of the discharge plate 220 is exposed to the outside.

The inner edge portion 271 may be integrally formed with the ejection plate 220. This is because the discharge plate 220 is configured to be lowered together with the lowering of the inner peripheral portion 271. In this case, the material of the inner edge 271 may be the same as or similar to that of the discharge plate 220, and may be formed of, for example, a metal material such as iron, stainless steel, copper, zinc, tin, or aluminum, an alloy of these materials, a plated metal material, or another non-metal material. The inner edge 271 may be plated with a metal material such as chromium, copper, silver, or gold, similar to the discharge plate 220, for the purpose of enhancing the appearance and durability.

The inner edge 271 may have a shape in which the height gradually increases as the distance from the edge of the ejection plate 220 increases. This is to prevent the inner edge 271 from functioning as a shoulder and prevent the cosmetic from leaking to the outside when the user touches the discharge plate 220 with the puff.

The outer edge portion 272 is disposed outside the inner edge portion 271 and is engageable with the housing 280. However, the outer edge portion 272 is not fixed to the inner edge portion 271, allows the inner edge portion 271 to be lifted up and down, and can surround the outer side of the inner edge portion 271. For this, a protrusion 2711 is formed on the outer surface of the inner edge 271, a groove 2721 corresponding to the protrusion 2711 of the inner edge 271 is formed on the inner surface of the outer edge 272, and the outer edge 272 can restrict the rotation of the inner edge 271 and allow the ascending and descending.

The portion of the outer edge 272 on which the catch 2822 of the hook 282, which will be described later, is provided, may be recessed or opened to avoid interference between the structures when the portions are coupled.

The outer edge 272 may be coupled to the housing 280, and the inner edge 271 may be moved up and down with respect to the outer edge 272 to operate the discharge unit 210. That is, when the user presses the discharge plate 220 inside the inner rim 271 with a powder puff (not shown) or the like while holding the casing 280, the inner rim 271 coupled to the discharge plate 220 is lowered inside the outer rim 272 coupled to the casing 280, and the discharge unit 210 is operated, so that the cosmetic can be supplied to the upper surface of the discharge plate 220 and the inside of the inner rim 271. Therefore, the user can apply the cosmetic exposed to the upper surface of the discharge plate 220 with a puff or the like and apply the cosmetic to the skin.

However, in the present embodiment, the discharge of the cosmetic by the discharge unit 210 is realized by a button structure (not shown) separately provided on the outer side of the discharge plate 220 instead of the inner edge portion 271. The button structure used in this case may be a well-known lever-type button structure for discharging the cosmetic through the outlet 211 of the pressure vacuum pump 210. In this case, the inner edge portion 271 may be provided to allow the elevation of the ejection plate 220 on the inner side.

The housing 280 has a structure surrounding the periphery of the discharge unit 210. The case 280 has a space for placing the discharge unit 210, however, an opening portion 281 for exposing the discharge unit 210 may be formed below the case 280. This is because, when the user pushes the discharge unit 210 upward through the opening portion 281 of the housing 280, the discharge unit 210 is separated from the housing 210, and the discharge unit 210 can be replaced.

The upper surface of the casing 280 may be covered with the outer edge 272, the inner edge 271, and the ejection plate 220 in this order from the outside toward the center. Therefore, the user cannot observe the discharge unit 210 and the like from the outside, and thus in the present embodiment, the beauty can be improved to improve the satisfaction of the user.

The housing 280 may include a hook portion 282. The hook part 282 is coupled to the cover 290 to block the opening of the cover 290, and the hook part 282 may be integrally formed of a button 2821 and a catch 2822. That is, in the hook portion 282, when the user presses the button 2821, the catch 2822 also moves in the pressing direction, and the catch 2822 is released from the cover 290, whereby the opening and closing of the cover 290 can be controlled.

The cover 290 opens and closes one side (upper side in the present embodiment) of the housing 280. One side of the cover 290 may be hinge-coupled to the housing 280, and the cover 290 may be rotated with reference to the center of the hinge to open the upper portion of the housing 280. At this time, the cover 290 can be fixed in a state of sealing the upper portion of the case 280 by the hook 282 as described above.

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

A mirror 291 may be provided inside the cover 290, and a user may open the cover 290 and use the cosmetic by pressing the discharge plate 220 or the inner edge 271 while looking at the mirror 291 to discharge the cosmetic from the discharge unit 210.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the discharge plate 220 is brought into close contact with the diffusion portion 230 in a planar manner, and the cosmetic moving along the diffusion space 231 is prevented from leaking to the outside of the diffusion space 231, so that the waste of the cosmetic is completely prevented, and the cosmetic remains only in the diffusion space 231, thereby minimizing the remaining amount of the cosmetic.

Fig. 27 is an exploded perspective view of a cosmetic container according to an eleventh embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 32 is a partial sectional view of the cosmetic container according to the eleventh embodiment of the present invention.

An eleventh embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to fig. 27 and 32 together with fig. 24 and 25.

Referring to fig. 24 to 25, 27, and 32, in the eleventh embodiment of the present invention, the abutting surface 240 may be replaced by an upper surface of the diffuser portion 230. That is, the diffuser portion 230 directly contacts the upper surface of the discharge plate 220 with the lower surface thereof without using the contact surface 240.

However, in this case, since it is necessary to sufficiently secure the frictional force and the sealing force between the one surface of the diffusing portion 230 and the one surface of the ejection plate 220, a post-process for increasing the frictional force can be performed on the upper surface of the diffusing portion 230.

In this case, post-processing may be flocking for forming a fiber material, coating for improving surface roughness, or the like, and various post-processing may be realized. That is, in the present invention, in order to increase the frictional force and the sealing force against the upper surface of the diffuser portion 230, the upper surface of the diffuser portion 230 may be subjected to the post-processing without limitation.

Unlike the tenth embodiment in which the contact surface 240 is bonded to, structurally coupled to, or integrally formed with the upper surface of the diffuser portion 230, the present embodiment allows one step in the manufacturing process to be reduced by allowing the upper surface of the diffuser portion 230 itself to function as the contact surface 240. Thus, manufacturing costs can be reduced.

In this case, the present embodiment can reduce the thickness from the lower surface of the discharge plate 220 to the lower surface of the diffuser portion 230 by omitting the structure, thereby reducing the total thickness of the cosmetic container 21. However, by setting the upper surface of diffusion portion 230 as contact surface 240, sealing material 250 can be brought into contact with contact surface 240 alone.

That is, when the cross section is described as a direction from the inside to the outside, the contact surface 240 as the upper surface of the diffusion portion 230, the sealing material 250, the contact surface 240 as the upper surface of the diffusion portion 230 formed outside the sealing material 250, and the other sealing material 260 can be brought into contact with each other in four layers. However, in the present embodiment, double upper and lower contact is not achieved.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the upper surface of diffusing portion 230 is post-processed to function as close contact surface 240, so that cosmetic is prevented from leaking to the outside of diffusing space 231, and the structure is further simplified to reduce the manufacturing cost.

Fig. 28 is an exploded perspective view of a cosmetic container according to a twelfth embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 33 is a partial sectional view of the cosmetic container according to the twelfth embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 24 and 25 again together with fig. 28 and 33, the sealing member 250 and the sealing groove 234 of the cosmetic container 21 according to the twelfth embodiment of the present invention may be omitted when compared with the tenth embodiment. This is because the sealing force by the contact surface 240 can be sufficiently ensured.

That is, in the present embodiment, the sealing by the close contact surface 240 is realized, and the sealing member 250 positioned below the close contact surface 240 is omitted, so that the structure can be reduced, the structure can be simplified, and the cost can be reduced. Except that the seal material 250 and the seal groove 234 are omitted, the description of the remaining structure is omitted as in the tenth embodiment.

Fig. 29 is an exploded perspective view of a cosmetic container according to a thirteenth embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 34 is a partial sectional view of the cosmetic container according to the thirteenth embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 24 and 25 again together with fig. 29 and 34, the sealing member 250 and the sealing groove 234 are omitted from the cosmetic container 21 according to the thirteenth embodiment of the present invention, as compared with the eleventh embodiment. The contents of the seal member 250 and the seal groove 234 are omitted as in the twelfth embodiment described above, and therefore, the description thereof is omitted, and the remaining structure is the same as that in the eleventh embodiment, and therefore, the detailed description thereof is omitted.

Fig. 30 is an exploded perspective view of a cosmetic container according to a fourteenth embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 35 is a partial sectional view of the cosmetic container according to the fourteenth embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 24 and 25 again together with fig. 30 and 35, the sealing member 260 provided on the outside of the cosmetic container 21 according to the fourteenth embodiment of the present invention is omitted when compared with the thirteenth embodiment.

That is, in the present embodiment, the abutting surface 240 is formed on the upper surface of the diffuser 230, and the ejection plate 220 is in surface contact with the diffuser 230 by the abutting surface 240, thereby securing the sealing force, and the sealing materials 250 and 260 are omitted entirely to minimize the configuration.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, there is an effect that leakage of the cosmetic can be prevented by the sealing force by the close contact surface 240, and the manufacturing cost can be innovatively reduced. Further, the user satisfaction and portability can be improved by weight reduction, size reduction, and the like.

However, if the sealing materials 250 and 260 are omitted, there is a possibility that the sealing force is reduced, and in this embodiment, the post-processing of the upper surface of the diffusion portion 230 may be different when compared with the other embodiments described above. That is, the post-processing can be performed in a direction to increase the sealing force of the contact surface 240 as the upper surface of the diffusion portion 230.

The same applies to the other embodiments described above. That is, in the case where sealing materials 250 and 260 are omitted, a surface roughness or a post-processing method with respect to contact surface 240, a post-processing method with respect to an upper surface of diffusion portion 230 when contact surface 240 is directly formed on an upper surface of diffusion portion 230, or the like may be applied differently for each embodiment.

The present invention has been described in detail with reference to the specific embodiments, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is apparent that modifications and improvements thereof can be made by those skilled in the art within the technical spirit of the present invention.

The present invention includes not only the above-described embodiments but also all combinations of the embodiments or combinations of one or more embodiments and known techniques. In this case, the description of the structure included in one embodiment may be replaced with the description of the related structure included in one or more other embodiments.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but may be modified within the scope of the present invention.
