Cosmetic container

Abstract

The present invention relates to a cosmetic container, wherein a proper amount of a liquid cosmetic is dispensed to a brush and then used by opening an outlet through separation of an outer cap and subsequent rise of a lift cap when a user applies make-up by dispensing the liquid cosmetic contained in the cosmetic container and the outflow of the liquid cosmetic is shut off by closing the outlet through coupling of the outer cap and subsequent lowering of the lift cap after the use of the liquid cosmetic.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0013]Another object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic container, which is constructed such that a lid unit with a brush and an opening / closing means integrally formed therewith is separated from or engaged with a container body, whereby a cosmetic product can be conveniently and rapidly manufactured only through a process of filling the container body with a liquid cosmetic and engaging the lid unit with the container body.

[0014]According to an aspect of the present invention for achieving the objects, there is provided a cosmetic container comprising: a container body that has a mouth formed at a side thereof and a receiving portion filled with a liquid cosmetic through the mouth; a lower cap that is threadly engaged with the mouth of the container body, has a space of a predetermined depth at the center thereof and an opening hole at a side of a lower end of the space to provide an outflow passage for the liquid cosmetic and is formed with an opening / closing protrusion protruding from the center of the lower end of the space; a lift cap that is supported on and coupled to the lower cap by means of a spring such that the lift cap can be raised and lowered, is inserted into the space such that the opening / closing protrusion of the lower cap can escape or be inserted into a lower end of an axial tube formed at the center of the lift cap when the lift cap is raised or lowered to open or close the outflow passage, and has a brush formed at an upper portion of the axial tube; and an outer cap that is threadly engaged with an upper portion of the lower cap to protect the brush when the lift cap is lowered and fixed.

[0017]Ratchet gears may be formed on an outer periphery of a lower portion of the mouth of the container body and an inner periphery of a lower portion of the lower cap, respectively, to prevent the lower cap threadly engaged with the mouth of the container body from being loosened from the engaged state.

Problems solved by technology

Such a conventional cosmetic container has no opening / closing means for properly regulating the amount of liquid cosmetic flowing to the brush and shutting off the supply of the liquid cosmetic when it is not in use.

Therefore, there is inconvenience in that the cosmetic container should be carefully stored such that the liquid cosmetic cannot flow out through the brush.

Further, there are problems in that the liquid applicator 100 is complicated in view of its structure due to a number of parts, and a manufacturing process is complicated due to the assembly of the reservoir 120 with a plurality of parts after the reservoir 120 is filled with a liquid cosmetic.
