    • Battery Receiving Portion
  • The battery receiving portion 13 is defined in front of the foundation-container receiving portion 12.
  • The battery receiving portion 13 has a rectangular shape, and serves to hold the fitted battery 13 a.
  • Connecting portions 130 are formed, respectively, on a center of a top and a center of a bottom of the battery receiving portion 13 to be connected to an electrode and a terminal of the battery 13 a.
  • The switch 9 is installed at a lower portion of a front of an exterior of the case 1, while the puff portion 3 is installed at an upper portion of the front of the exterior of the case 1.
    • Foundation Container
  • The foundation container 2 is installed in the foundation-container receiving portion 12 defined in the case 1, and the lower end of the foundation container 2 is fitted into the fitting portion 400.
  • The foundation container 2 includes an outer container 2 b, an inner container 2 a formed in the outer container 2 b to receive the foundation, a cylinder 25 positioned in the inner container 2 a to be secured thereto, a shoulder 23 protecting the cylinder 25, a piston 24 fitted into the cylinder 25 in such a way as to move up and down, a piston shaft 22 coupled at a lower end thereof to the piston 24 and fitted and supported at an upper end thereof in a support member 27, and a spring 26 provided between the piston shaft 22 and the shoulder 23 to impart an elastic force to the piston shaft 22.
  • The pumping operation of the foundation container 2 is performed as follows. If the support member 27 is pressed down, the piston shaft 22 and the piston 24 fitted into the support member 27 are simultaneously moved down, so that the internal pressure of the cylinder 25 is increased, and thus the foundation held in the cylinder 25 passes through the piston shaft 22 and then is discharged from the nozzle 20.
  • Since the structure and operation of pumping the foundation from the foundation container 2 are known to those skilled in the art, a detailed description thereof will be omitted herein.
  • A piston portion 211 is provided on a bottom of the inner container 2 a to push the foundation up.

  • When the foundation is used and thus the foundation of the inner container 2 a is reduced, the internal pressure of the container is different from the atmospheric pressure. As a consequence, the air path 212 is filled with the air introduced through the through holes 213 due to a pressure difference.
  • Therefore, even though the foundation held in the inner container 2 a is used, the foundation always remains close to the cylinder 25 disposed at an upper position due to the pressure difference, thus advantageously allowing all the foundation to be used exhaustively.

  • The recess 310 is a passage through which the foundation passing through a connecting pipe 6 moves to the puff 32 that will be described below in detail.
  • Connectors 71 and 72 are formed on the back of the puff plate 31.
  • The connectors 71 and 72 have a hollow cylindrical shape, and protrude from the rear surface of the puff plate 31.
  • The connectors 71 and 72 include a first connector 71, and a second connector 72 that is provided under the first connector 71.
  • The first connector 71 is connected to the actuating shaft 4 that will be described below in detail.
  • The second connector 72 is connected to a side of the connecting pipe 6.
  • The diameter of the second connector 72 is greater than that of the connecting pipe 6. Therefore, when the second connector 72 is connected to the connecting pipe 6, a silicon O-ring 8 is further installed in the second connector 72 to perform a fixing operation.
  • The puff 32 is integrally formed on the front of the puff plate 31, and has a rectangular or circular shape.
  • A through duct 35 is formed in a lower portion of the puff 32 to receive the discharged foundation.
  • An axis of the through duct 35 is eccentric from that of the second connector 72.
  • The through duct 35 is preferably disposed above the second connector 72.
  • Such a puff portion 3 is advantageous in that an excessive amount of foundation is not dispensed and, instead, a desirable amount of foundation is dispensed.
    • Connecting Pipe
  • The connecting pipe 6 has an “L” shape.
  • One side of the connecting pipe 6 is connected to the nozzle 20 of the foundation container 2, while the other side is connected to the second connector 72 of the puff portion 3.
  • The connecting pipe 6 preferably comprises a silicon tube to be flexibly moved when the puff portion 3 moves back and forth.
    • Actuating Shaft/Guide Groove
  • One side of the actuating shaft 4 is connected to the first connector 71 of the puff portion 3, while the other side is connected to the rotating shaft 50 of the motor 5.
  • An elongated hole 220 is formed in the actuating shaft 4 in a direction perpendicular to the actuating shaft 4.
  • The actuating shaft 4 is installed perpendicularly to the rotating shaft 50 of the motor 5 via an eccentric member 200.
  • The actuating shaft 4 oscillates the puff portion 3 back and forth by the motor 5 which is driven.
  • Since the actuating shaft 4 is perpendicular to the rotating shaft 50 of the motor 5, the actuating shaft may oscillate back and forth.
  • In order to guide an oscillating direction of the actuating shaft 4 when the actuating shaft 4 oscillates back and forth, the bushing 265 is installed.
  • Preferably, the bushing 265 is installed in the case 1, and restrains a circumference of the actuating shaft to prevent the removal of the actuating shaft 4, thus ensuring that the actuating shaft can be smoothly guided back and forth.
  • It is preferable that two bushings 265 be installed. Preferably, the bushings are installed, respectively, in front of and to the rear of an eccentric shaft 210 that will be described below.
    • Eccentric Shaft
  • The eccentric shaft 210 has on an upper portion thereof a U-shaped cavity to allow the rotating shaft 50 of the motor 5 to be inserted therein.
  • A lower portion of the eccentric shaft 210 engages with the elongated hole 220 of the actuating shaft 4.
  • When the motor 5 rotates, the eccentric shaft 210 moves through the elongated hole 220, thus causing the actuating shaft 4 to oscillate back and forth.
  • Hereinafter, the operation of this embodiment constructed as described above will be described.
  • The fitting portion 400 provided on the lower end of the case 1 is pressed.
  • The foundation container 2 is pumped to discharge the foundation. This foundation passes through the connecting pipe 6 and the recess 310, and then is discharged to the through duct 35 and dispensed onto the puff 32.
  • The switch 9 is turned on.
  • The motor 5 is driven. As the motor 5 rotates, the eccentric shaft 210 also rotates.
  • The eccentric shaft 210 rotates through the elongated hole 220.
  • The actuating shaft 4 moves back and forth.
  • The puff portion 3 moves back and forth.
  • Although the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
    • INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
  • As described above, the electric puff according to the present invention is particularly suitable for an electric puff that enables a user to conveniently apply makeup.
