[0065] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0066] Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cosmetic container according to a first embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 yes Figure 1 An exploded perspective view of a cosmetic container. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of a cosmetic container, Figure 4a yes Figure 3 An enlarged cross-sectional view of the upper end portion of the cosmetic container, Figure 4b is a top view of the cover of the cosmetic container, Figure 5 It is a perspective view showing the lower surface of the cover and the upper surface of the ball holder.

[0067] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The cosmetic container 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a container body 10 , a coating unit 20 , and a conveying unit 30 .

[0068] The container body 10 is a structure having a space for storing cosmetics, and may be a hollow cylindrical shape. In addition, the container body 10 has an inlet 11 for discharging cosmetics at the upper end, and a thread structure for coupling with the transmission part 30 described later is formed on the outer side of the inlet 11. However, the coupling structure between the container body 10 and the transmission part 30 may be formed in various forms for achieving mutual coupling in addition to the thread.

[0069] Although not shown, the upper portion of the container body 10 is sealed or opened by a cap 40 described later. In this embodiment, the container body 10 is formed in a cylindrical shape as a whole, but the present invention is not limited thereto and can be formed in various shapes having a space for storing cosmetics.

[0070] The coating unit 20 includes a plurality of ball members 21, a cover 22, and a ball holder 25. Here, the coating unit 20 or a part of the coating unit 20 is detachably connected, so that it can be replaced with another coating unit or can be reconnected after cleaning.

[0071] The ball member 21 is rotatably provided on a cap 22 described later, and at least two ball members 21 are provided adjacent to each other. The ball member 21 rotates by a rolling motion of the user to provide cosmetics discharged from the container body 10 or massage the user's face.

[0072] The shape of the ball component 21 is spherical, elliptical or a combination of these shapes. The ball component 21 is provided with concave-convex or protrusions formed in various shapes on its surface. The ball component 21 is preferably made of silicon, metal or plastic material with appropriate hardness. The ball component 21 is respectively made of a single material or a combination of two or more materials. In the present invention, the structure and material of the ball component 21 are not particularly limited.

[0073] The cover 22 is in an open form, with a portion of the ball component 21 exposed to the outside, and supports the ball component 21 so that it does not fall out of the outside. The cover 22 is formed in a form with a gently curved corner so that it can perform a natural shaking action when it contacts the skin, and is formed of an opaque or transparent material.

[0074] The cover 22 also has an outer edge 23 protruding upward along the periphery of the ball member 21 to reduce resistance of the protruding ball member 21 during massage and prevent hair from being caught between the rotating ball member and the cover.

[0075] Specifically, Figure 4a As shown, the ball part 21 preferably protrudes from the upper surface of the cover 22 at a height of 20% to 40% of the diameter d of the ball part 21. When the protruding height of the ball part 21 is less than 20%, the shaking effect decreases, and when the protruding height of the ball part 21 is more than 40%, hair is caught.

[0076] More preferably, the protruding height of the ball component 21 is 25% to 35% of the diameter d of the ball component 21. When the protruding height of the ball component 21 is less than 25%, the contact area of ​​the ball component 21 is reduced, resulting in a reduced amount of cosmetic discharge, and when it is greater than 35%, the ball component 21 may be detached.

[0077] Furthermore, the edge portion 23 preferably protrudes from the upper surface of the cover 22 at a height of 7% to 14% of the diameter d of the ball component 21. When the protruding height h of the edge portion 23 is 7% or less, hair is more likely to be caught, and when it is 14% or more, the contact area of ​​the ball component 21 is reduced.

[0078] In addition, if Figure 4b As shown, the cap 22 has a vent hole AH between the ball member 21 and the edge portion 23, so that the internal air can be smoothly discharged when the container is pressurized, and the cosmetics can be easily discharged. At this time, the vent hole AH is provided in the area A between the plurality of ball members 21.

[0079] The ball holder 25 is provided inside the cap 22 to support the ball member 21. The ball holder 25 has a mounting portion 26 on the upper surface to which the ball member 21 is mounted and rotated, and a discharge port 27 to discharge the cosmetics delivered from the delivery portion 30 described later. The mounting portion 26 is formed into a curved surface shape corresponding to the ball member 21.

[0080] In this embodiment, the ball holder 25 is in close contact with the rear surface of the cover 22 at a predetermined interval, and the outer side surface of the ball holder 25 abuts against the side surface of the cover 22 to seal the rear surface of the cover 22 and the upper surface of the ball holder 25. In addition, the ball holder 25 is made of the same plastic or metal material as the cover 22, or an elastic material with a slight elasticity.

[0081] On the other hand, referring to Figure 5 The cover 22 has a plurality of ball parts 21 extending downwardly along the periphery of the ball parts 21 (in the Figure 5 The ball holder 25 has a sealing rib 221 protruding from the cover 22 (the upper part in the figure), and the ball holder 25 has a sealing groove 251 corresponding to the sealing rib 221. That is, a sealing structure is provided between the cover 22 and the ball holder 25, thereby preventing the leakage of cosmetics and preventing the remaining cosmetics from hardening or drying. However, the sealing structure of this embodiment is an example, and of course, various structures can be configured to seal the space between the cover 22 and the ball holder 25.

[0082] The conveying unit 30 is provided between the container body 10 and the application unit 20 to convey the cosmetics discharged from the container body 10 to the application unit 20. Specifically, the conveying unit 30 includes a lower support 31 and an opening and closing member 33.

[0083] The upper portion of the lower holder 31 is coupled to the cover 22, and the lower portion of the lower holder 31 is coupled to the opening and closing member 33 described later. In addition, the lower holder 31 includes a connecting portion 32 for transferring the cosmetics discharged from the container body 10 to the application portion 20. Specifically, the connecting portion 32 connects the second through hole H2 of the discharge plate 37 described later with the discharge port 27 of the ball holder 25.

[0084] The opening and closing member 33 is provided between the container body 10 and the lower holder 31 to open and close the flow path connecting the inlet 11 of the container body 10 and the communication portion 32 of the lower holder 31. The user operates the opening and closing member 33 to control the use of the cosmetic.

[0085] Specifically, the opening and closing member 33 includes a lower cover 35 , an upper cover 36 , and a discharge plate 37 .

[0086] The lower cover 35 covers the inlet 11 of the container body 10 and has a first through hole H1 for discharging cosmetics at a position corresponding to the inlet 11 of the container body 10. The lower cover 35 is detachably coupled in a form of surrounding the inlet 11 of the container body 10. For this purpose, a thread structure for coupling with the inlet 11 of the container body 10 is formed on the inner side surface of the lower cover 35. In addition, a sliding groove 351 is formed at the upper end of the outer side surface of the lower cover 35 to which the upper cover 36 described later can be rotatably coupled. A plurality of first through holes H1 are formed obliquely from the center of the upper surface of the lower cover 35 toward the outside.

[0087] One side of the upper cover 36 is rotatably coupled to the lower cover 35, and the other side is fixedly coupled to the lower bracket 31. The upper cover 36 is in the form of a donut with a hollow interior, surrounding a portion of the upper end of the lower cover 35 and a portion of the lower end of the lower bracket 31. Specifically, although not shown, a protrusion that moves along the sliding groove 351 of the lower cover 35 is formed on the inner side surface of the upper cover 36, and the upper cover 36 can rotate within a predetermined radius when the upper cover 36 is coupled to the lower cover 35. At this time, the upper cover 36 rotates together with the lower bracket 31 fixedly coupled to the upper portion.

[0088] The discharge plate 37 has a second through hole H2 at a position corresponding to the first through hole H1 of the lower cover 35, and is coupled to the lower end of the communication portion 32 of the lower bracket 31 to rotate together with the lower bracket 31 and the upper cover 36. The discharge plate 37 is a circular plate shape, and is inserted into the lower end of the communication portion 32 of the lower bracket 31 so as to face the upper surface where the first through hole H1 of the lower cover 35 is located, and is coupled. At this time, the discharge plate 37 has a coupling protrusion 371 coupled to the lower bracket 31. In addition, the second through hole H2 of the discharge plate 37 is formed at a position that is connected to the first through hole H1.

[0089] When the first through hole H1 of the lower cover 35 and the second through hole H2 of the discharge plate 37 overlap with each other as the upper cover 36 rotates, the flow path connecting the inlet 11 of the container body 10 and the connecting portion 32 of the lower holder 31 is opened to discharge the cosmetics. On the contrary, when the first through hole H1 and the second through hole H2 are offset from each other, the flow path of the conveying portion 30 is closed to block the discharge of the cosmetics.

[0090] The discharge plate 37 is made of a soft material such as rubber or silicon, and the lower cover 35 and the upper cover 36 are made of the same material or different materials as necessary.

[0091] In addition, in the present embodiment, the upper cover 36 and the discharge plate 37 are shown as being separately configured, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the upper cover 36 and the discharge plate 37 may be formed as an integrated type.

[0092] On the other hand, the lower cover 35 has a first directional key groove K1 on the side surface in a direction perpendicular to the rotation direction of the upper cover 36, and the upper cover 36 has a second directional key groove K2 on the side surface that is offset from or integrally connected to the first directional key groove K1 of the lower cover 35 by its own rotation. And, when the flow path of the conveying part 30 is closed, the first and second directional key grooves K1 and K2 are integrally connected to each other. Specifically, although not shown in the figure, when the first and second directional key grooves K1 and K2 are integrally connected, the cover 40 is closed, thereby preventing unnecessary waste of cosmetics.

[0093] Figure 6 is a perspective view of a cosmetic container according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 yes Figure 6 An exploded perspective view of a cosmetic container. Figure 8 yes Figure 6 A cross-sectional view of a cosmetic container, Fig. 9 is a front view showing another embodiment of the container body, Fig.10 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 It is a figure for demonstrating the usage method of the cosmetic container of the 2nd Example of this invention.

[0094] Reference Figures 6 to 8 The cosmetic container 2 of the second embodiment of the present invention includes an application portion 20a having a storage space SP for storing cosmetics discharged from the container body 10. Here, in the cosmetic container 2 of the second embodiment, the same reference numerals are used for the same structures as those of the cosmetic container 1 of the first embodiment, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0095] The application part 20a includes a dome-shaped cover 22a and a ball holder 25a whose bottom surface is separated from the inner side of the cover 22a, thereby providing a storage space SP between the cover 22a and the ball holder 25a for storing the cosmetics discharged from the container body 10. Thus, the user can use a certain amount of cosmetics stored in the storage space SP.

[0096] The ball holder 25a includes a mounting portion 26a that protrudes from the bottom surface toward the cover 22a side and supports the ball member 21. The ball holder 25a also includes a discharge port 27a that protrudes from the bottom surface toward the cover 22a side.

[0097] In this embodiment, the cover 22a is made of a transparent material to allow viewing of the interior of the storage space SP, and a plurality of capacity indication portions L1 and L2 are formed in a stepped shape on the side surface of the cover 22a.

[0098] Here, the volume indicator L1, L2 is set by a scale for measuring the contents or a recommended amount. For example, the appropriate amount of cosmetics may differ depending on the hair length or skin condition, and the user can confirm the amount of cosmetics stored in the storage space SP, and the user can use the appropriate amount of cosmetics to the desired degree.

[0099] Additionally, the cover 22a may be replaced with a cover 22b including massage protrusions 24 protruding upward. By providing the cover 22b with the massage protrusions 24 or replacing the cover 22a, the massage effect is enhanced and cleaning and management are facilitated.

[0100] On the other hand, the cover 40 is formed to surround the upper portion of the container body 10, preferably the conveying portion 30, and is detachably connected by various structures such as interference fit.

[0101] In addition, the cosmetic container 2 of the second embodiment further includes a suction tube 50, one end of which is connected to the conveying portion 30 and connected thereto, and the other end of which extends toward the bottom surface of the container body 10. The suction tube 50 serves as a flow path for moving the liquid cosmetics stored in the container body 10. In this embodiment, the suction tube 50 is illustrated as a vertical column, but the suction tube 50 may have various shapes. In addition, a suction tube holder 12 into which the suction tube 50 is inserted and connected may be added to the inlet 11 of the container body 10.

[0102] In addition, refer to Fig. 9The container body 10a may be a tube-like soft container that can change its shape by applying pressure, thereby facilitating the discharge of cosmetics.

[0103] Below, refer to Fig.10 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 , a method of using the cosmetic container 2 including the tube-like container body 10a will be described.

[0104] Reference Figures 10 to 12 , 'CLOSE' is displayed on one side of the side of the lower cover 35, and 'OPEN' is displayed on the other side. In addition, an indicator is displayed on one side of the side of the upper cover 36. Thus, the user can confirm whether to block the transfer of cosmetics by the bar where the indicator is located.

[0105] During storage, the indicator mark of the upper cover 36 is located at the "CLOSE" position of the lower cover 35. At this time, the first through hole H1 of the lower cover 35 and the second through hole H2 of the upper cover 36 are located at positions offset from each other. Therefore, the flow path of the conveying unit 30 is closed, and the conveyance of the cosmetic COS to the application unit 20 is blocked.

[0106] When the user rotates the upper cover 36 in a certain direction (eg, rightward) so that the indicator mark is at 'OPEN' of the lower cover 35, the first through hole H1 of the lower cover 35 overlaps with the second through hole H2 of the upper cover 36, and the flow path of the conveying unit 30 is opened.

[0107] When the user pressurizes the container body 10a, the cosmetics COS in the container body 10a is discharged to the storage space SP of the application unit 20 through the flow path of the conveying unit 30. At this time, the user checks the volume indication portions L1 and L2 provided on the side of the cover 22a and moves an appropriate amount of the cosmetics COS to the storage space SP before use.

[0108] Next, when the user turns the container body 10a upside down and massages the skin SK with the ball member 21 abutting against the skin SK, the cosmetics COS stored in the storage space SP is discharged to the skin SK by the rotation of the ball member 21. Therefore, the cosmetics COS is applied while massaging.

[0109] Meanwhile, when the user rotates the upper cover 36 so that the indicator is located at 'CLOSE' of the lower cover 35, the user can perform massage while stopping the transfer of the cosmetic COS. In this case, the user can use only the desired amount.

Fig.15 yes Fig.13 A cross-sectional view of a cosmetic container, Fig.16 It is a cross-sectional view of a cosmetic container according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.

[0111] Reference Figures 13 to 15 The cosmetic container 3 of the third embodiment of the present invention includes a discharge unit 60 coupled to one side of the container body 10b to discharge the cosmetics to the application portion 20a. In this case, the discharge unit 60 is used as the conveying portion 30 for conveying the cosmetics to the application portion 20a, and the lower support 31 and the opening and closing member 33 of the above-mentioned embodiment are not required.

[0112] The container body 10b includes an outer container 13 and an inner container 14 inserted into the outer container 13 and connected to a discharge unit 60 on the side where the cosmetics are discharged. The discharge unit 60 is provided at the center of the inner upper part of the inner container 14. The lower end of the inner container 14 is further extended than the lower end of the outer container 13 and is provided to protrude to the outside of the outer container 13. The inner container 14 is raised and lowered by external pressure to perform a suction operation of the discharge unit 60. The cosmetics stored in the container body 10b are discharged to the application portion 20a by the suction operation of the discharge unit 60.

[0113] The discharge unit 60 sucks up the cosmetics through the suction tube 50 and discharges the contents quantitatively. Although not specifically shown in the figure, the discharge unit 60 includes a pump body that is inserted into the inlet of the inner container 14 and is connected, one end of which is connected to the coating part 20a in a communicating manner, and the other end of which is connected to the lifting part of the pump body, and an elastic member that elastically supports the pump body and the lifting part. However, the structure of the discharge unit 60 is not limited to this, and of course, it can also be configured as various structures that discharge the contents to the outside.

[0114] In this way, the cosmetic container 3 of the present embodiment uses the discharge unit 60 to discharge the cosmetics in a quantitative manner, thereby more accurately adjusting the dosage.

[0115] On the other hand, referring to Fig.16 The discharge unit 60 of the cosmetic container 4 of the fourth embodiment of the present invention is constituted by an airless pump. In addition, a pressing plate 15 is provided inside the inner container 14 to reduce the volume of the inner container 14 as the cosmetics are discharged.

[0116] Specifically, the pressing plate 15 is located at the lower side of the inner container 14, and when the cosmetics are discharged through the discharge unit 60, it rises to maintain the space that decreases as the cosmetics are discharged. At this time, in order to achieve the rise of the pressing plate 15, an air inlet 16 is further provided at the lower part of the inner container 14 to allow air to flow in from the outside.

[0117] Fig.17These are cross-sectional views and plan views for explaining another embodiment of the cover in the first to fourth embodiments of the present invention.

[0118] As described above, the caps 22, 22a, 22b of the first to fourth embodiments of the present invention have an open form, so that a portion of at least two or more ball components 21 arranged adjacent to each other is exposed to the outside and can rotate, and the portion corresponding to the discharge port 27, 27a, that is, the portion of the caps 22, 22a, 22b between the two or more ball components 21 is sealed, so that the cosmetics discharged through the discharge port 27, 27a provided in the ball holder 25, 25a are directly guided to the ball component 21.

[0119] Reference Fig.17 The covers 22, 22a, 22b further include a door 28 for allowing the cosmetics to flow out to the outside. Fig.17 The figure shows a case where the cover 22 of the cosmetic container 1 of the first embodiment described above has a door 28, but this is only an example for explaining the present embodiment. Fig.17 The door 28 is described below. Fig.17 The reference numerals used in the first embodiment will be described together with the reference numerals used in the second to fourth embodiments.

[0120] The door 28 communicates with the discharge ports 27 and 27 a provided in the ball holders 25 and 25 a and is configured to penetrate the lids 22 and 22 a between the two or more ball members 21 .

[0121] That is, the door 28 provided on the cover 22c is different from the covers 22 and 22a of the first to fourth embodiments which are sealed in a manner that the cosmetics discharged through the discharge ports 27 and 27a are directly guided to the ball part 21. As a straight-discharge nozzle that is not only used for discharging liquid dosage forms but is also convenient for use in emulsion dosage forms, it can be used in various ways, such as allowing the cosmetics to flow out to the outside through the door 28 first, applying the flowing cosmetics directly to the skin or pouring them on the hands and using them on the desired part or using the ball part 21 for massage, etc.

[0122] Fig.18 This is a cross-sectional view for explaining another embodiment of the coating portion in the first to fourth embodiments of the present invention.

[0123] As described above, the application parts 20, 20a of the first to fourth embodiments of the present invention include the discharge ports 27, 27a for discharging cosmetics.

[0124] Reference Fig.18 The coating section 20, 20a further includes a flow control member (Flow control member; 29). Fig.18The figure shows a case where the discharge port 27a of the application portion 20a of the cosmetic container 2 of the second embodiment described above has a flow control member 29, but this is only an example for explaining this embodiment. Fig.18 The flow control component 29 is described, and the symbol is not limited to Fig.18 The reference numerals of the second embodiment shown are also used together with the reference numerals of the first, third and fourth embodiments.

[0125] The flow control member 29 can control the flow of the cosmetics contained in the container body 10, 10a, 10b, and can be provided at the discharge port 27, 27a. That is, the flow control member 29 can prevent the cosmetics discharged from the container body 10, 10a, 10b from flowing back into the container body 10, 10a, 10b.

[0126] The flow control member 29 keeps the discharge ports 27 and 27a closed. When the user increases the pressure inside the container body 10, 10a, 10b to use cosmetics, the discharge port 27a is opened to discharge the cosmetics to the outside. When the internal pressure is released, the discharge port 27a is automatically closed to control the cosmetics discharged to the outside to flow back to the container body 10, 10a, 10b or to control the cosmetics inside the container body 10, 10a, 10b to be discharged to the outside. Such a flow control member 29 has a similar or identical operating principle to a check valve.

[0127] Therefore, in this embodiment, the flow control component 29 is arranged at the discharge port 27, 27a, so that the cosmetics discharged to the outside through the discharge port 27, 27a can be prevented from flowing into the container body 10, 10a, 10b. This not only prevents the cosmetics inside the container body 10, 10a, 10b from being contaminated, but also as long as the user does not increase the pressure inside the container body 10, 10a, 10b, the cosmetics will not be discharged to the outside, so that the user can easily adjust the discharge amount.

[0128] Fig.19 is a cross-sectional view of a cosmetic container according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 20 It is a figure for demonstrating the usage method of the cosmetic container of the 5th Example of this invention.

[0129] Reference Fig.19 and Fig. 20 The cosmetic container 5 according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention includes a container body 10c, an application portion 20c, and a discharge unit 60c.

[0130] The container body 10c includes an outer container 13c and an inner container 14c inserted into the outer container 13c and coupled with a discharge unit 60c for discharging cosmetics. The inner container 14c is raised and lowered by external pressure to perform a suction operation of the discharge unit 60c.

[0131] The discharge unit 60c increases the pressure inside the container body 10c by a suction operation, and discharges the cosmetics stored in the container body 10c to the application portion 20c.

[0132] The outer container 13c of the container body 10c is divided into a lower part and an upper part. The lower part of the outer container 13c accommodates the inner container 14c and the discharge unit 60c. The upper part of the outer container 13c is formed with a storage space SP for temporarily storing the cosmetics discharged by the discharge unit 60c, and an inlet 11c for discharging the cosmetics is provided at the upper end. A threaded structure for coupling with the ball bracket 25c of the application part 20c is formed on the inner side surface of the inlet 11c.

[0133] The outer container 13c has a narrow neck shape between the lower and upper parts. That is, the lower part of the outer container 13c is cylindrical, the upper part is cup-shaped, and the boundary between the lower and upper parts is concave.

[0134] The neck portion of the outer container 13c is provided with a discharge port 27c of the coating portion 20c and a flow control component 29c.

[0135] The coating section 20c includes a ball component 21c, a ball holder 25c, a discharge port 27c, and a flow control component 29c.

[0136] The ball member 21c is rotatably mounted on the ball holder 25c, and rotates by the rolling action of the user, so that the cosmetics discharged from the container body 10c are massaged onto the user's face, etc. The shape and material of the ball member 21c are the same or similar to those described in the first embodiment, and the detailed description is omitted here.

[0137] The ball holder 25c is provided at the inlet 11c of the container body 10c. The ball holder 25c has a thread structure formed on the outer side surface of the lower portion thereof and is threadedly engaged with the inlet 11c of the container body 10c.

[0138] The entire cross-sectional shape of the ball holder 25c is formed to correspond to the shape of the inlet 11c of the container body 10c. The ball holder 25c has, for example, a cylindrical shape.

[0139] The ball holder 25c has a protrusion (not shown) protruding outward formed in the middle portion thereof so as to be in close contact with the end of the inlet 11c of the container body 10c.

[0140] The ball bracket 25c is formed with a thread structure on the outer side surface of the lower part based on the protrusion, and a groove (not shown) is formed on the outer side surface of the upper part for the cover 40c to be inserted and connected.

[0141] The ball holder 25c has an edge portion 23c at its upper end portion for holding the ball member 21c so as to prevent it from coming off.

[0142] The ball holder 25c has a mounting portion 26c on the inner side surface thereof. The mounting portion 26c plays a role of holding the edge portion 23c and the ball member 21c so as to rotate the ball member 21c.

[0143] The discharge port 27c is independently provided at the neck portion of the outer container 13c or is formed integrally with the outer container 13c. The discharge port 27c is connected to the discharge unit 60c to provide a passage for discharging the cosmetics discharged through the discharge unit 60c to the storage space SP for temporary storage.

[0144] The flow control member 29c is detachably provided at the neck portion of the container body 10c. The flow control member 29c controls the flow of the cosmetics stored in the container body 10c and is provided at the discharge port 27c. That is, the flow control member 29c controls the cosmetics discharged from the container body 10c to the outside and temporarily stored in the storage space SP to flow back to the inside of the container body 10c or the cosmetics in the container body 10c to be discharged to the outside.

[0145] The flow control component 29c includes a fixing portion 291c, a sealing portion 292c, and a pressurizing portion 293c.

[0146] The fixing part 291c is fixed to the upper end of the inlet of the discharge port 27c and the inner side surface of the outer container 13c of the container body 10c, and may be in a ring shape. The fixing part 291c can fix one side of the pressurizing part 293c.

[0147] The sealing part 292c can seal the discharge port 27c. The sealing part 292c keeps the discharge port 27c closed by the pressurizing part 293c, and then when the user increases the pressure inside the container body 10c to use the cosmetics, the discharge port 27c is opened, and when the pressure is released, the discharge port 27a is automatically closed by the pressurizing part 293c.

[0148] The sealing portion 292c is cup-shaped with its edge portion overlapping the upper end portion of the inlet of the discharge port 27c and its central portion recessed into the open portion of the discharge port 27c.

[0149] One side of the pressurizing part 293c is fixed to the fixing part 291c, and the other side is connected to the sealing part 292c. The pressurizing part 293c normally pressurizes the sealing part 292c to keep the discharge port 27c closed by the sealing part 292c. When a certain pressure or more, for example, a pressure greater than the pressure of the pressurizing part 293c on the sealing part 292c is applied to the sealing part 292c due to the increase in the pressure inside the container body 10c, the pressurizing part 293c is actuated to open the discharge port 27c by the sealing part 292c. The pressurizing part 293c is composed of an elastic component that provides elastic force by external pressure, but the present embodiment is not limited thereto, and may be composed of various components that are moved by external pressure.

[0150] The pressurizing part 293c has a passage for discharging the cosmetics stored in the container body 10c to the storage space SP when the sealing part 292c opens the discharge port 27c. Therefore, the pressurizing part 293c is formed of a plurality of rod members or a disk member having a plurality of holes.

[0151] Regarding the above-mentioned flow control component 29c, a structure including a fixed portion 291c, a sealing portion 292c, and a pressurizing portion 293c is described, but the operating principle of the flow control component 29c is to keep the discharge port 27c closed and then increase the pressure inside the container body 10c. Therefore, the operating principle of the flow control component 29c is similar to or the same as that of the check valve. The flow control component of this embodiment is not limited to the above-mentioned structure, and can be embodied in various forms using the operating principle of the check valve.

[0152] Below, refer to Fig. 20 , a method of using the cosmetic container 5 according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0153] When the user pressurizes the inner container 14c of the container body 10c, the pressure inside the container body 10c rises due to the suction action of the discharge unit 60c. The cosmetics COS stored in the container body 10c transmits the internal pressure to the sealed portion 292c of the flow control component 29c through the discharge port 27c according to the internal pressure. The sealed portion 292c opens the discharge port 27c due to the internal pressure, thereby allowing an appropriate amount of cosmetics COS to move to the storage space SP in advance before use.

[0154] Next, when the user inverts the container body 10c without applying pressure to the inner container 14c of the container body 10c and massages the skin SK by bringing the ball member 21c into contact with the skin SK, the cosmetics COS stored in the storage space SP is discharged to the skin SK by the rotation of the ball member 21c. Therefore, the cosmetics COS is applied while massaging. At this time, the sealing portion 292c of the flow control member 29c is in a state where the internal pressure is released, so the discharge port 27c is kept closed by the pressurizing portion 293c, so that even if the container body 10c is in an inverted state, the cosmetics COS stored in the container body 10c does not flow into the storage space SP.

[0155] After that, even if the user stops massaging and stands the container body 10c upright while the cosmetics COS is in the storage space SP, the sealing portion 292c of the flow control member 29c keeps the discharge port 27c closed, thereby preventing the cosmetics COS remaining in the storage space SP from flowing back into the container body 10c. The user can reuse the cosmetics COS remaining in the storage space SP or, if the user determines that the cosmetics are insufficient, pressurize the inner container 14c of the container body 10c to replenish the storage space SP with cosmetics for use.

[0156] Therefore, in this embodiment, the flow control component 29c is arranged at the discharge port 27c, so as to prevent the cosmetics discharged to the outside through the discharge port 27c from flowing into the container body 10c, and prevent the cosmetics inside the container body 10c from being contaminated. As long as the user does not increase the pressure inside the container body 10c, the cosmetics will not be discharged to the outside, so the user can easily adjust the discharge amount.

[0157] In addition, the flow control member 29c of this embodiment is applicable not only to products such as the cosmetic container 5 having the above-mentioned structure, but also to various products. For example, it is also applicable to various products such as a simple structure in which the contents are discharged by shaking the products that are applied by the conventional ball in low-viscosity liquid dosage forms, or a form in which the contents discharged by suction are shaken by the ball in combination with a dropper pump, or a form in which a soft container is squeezed for use, thereby solving the following problems: the problem that the amount of the contents flowing out cannot be controlled in the case of a simple structure and the discharge continues without stopping during the shaking period, and the problem that in the case of a dropper pump type, a quantitative discharge can be performed in one suction, but the contents are not discharged naturally little by little, but a predetermined amount of the contents are discharged to the outside of the ball at once, which is inconvenient to use in the case of a low-viscosity liquid dosage form with strong fluidity.

[0158] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the above-described embodiments and known technologies can be combined to form new embodiments.

[0159] The present invention has been described in detail above through specific embodiments, but this is only used to specifically illustrate the present invention. The present invention is not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art may modify or improve it within the technical concept of the present invention.

[0160] Simple modifications and changes of the present invention are all included in the scope of the present invention, and the specific protection scope of the present invention can be more clearly understood through the attached claims.
