Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a container for contents. Background Technology

[0002] Cosmetic materials can be classified according to their function into basic cosmetics, makeup cosmetics, hair cosmetics, perfumes, and medicated cosmetics, and according to their state into creams, powders, and liquids, and are stored in containers appropriate to each state.

[0003] Among these containers for storing liquid contents, there exists a type where the liquid contents naturally flow out through the opening due to gravity when the user tilts the container. This type of container includes: a container portion for storing the liquid contents; an opening located at the top of the container portion for discharging the liquid contents outwards; and a lid for opening and closing the opening.

[0004] However, with respect to existing containers that discharge contents by tilting the container, when the container is upright after discharging the contents by tilting it, there is a problem that liquid contents may accumulate at the top of the opening or flow out along the outside of the opening, causing container contamination.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need for a contents container that can prevent the accumulation of liquid contents at the opening and solve the problem of leakage along the outside of the opening. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem that the invention aims to solve

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a content container for solving the aforementioned problem.

[0008] The technical problems of this invention are not limited to those mentioned above, and those skilled in the art will clearly understand other technical problems not mentioned from the following description.

[0009] means for solving problems

[0010] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a content container is provided. The content container may include: a container portion for receiving content and having a spout formed on its upper side; a shoulder portion connected to the upper side of the container portion and having a communicating space on its inner side for the content to move; a lifting portion connected to the inner side of the shoulder portion, the lifting portion being able to rise and fall relative to the shoulder portion by rotation, and having at least one communicating hole for the content to move; a rotating portion connected to the outer side of the shoulder portion and having a discharge hole formed on its upper side for discharging content supplied from the communicating hole, and a rotational operation of the rotating portion enabling the lifting portion to rotate; and a cover portion connected to the upper side of the lifting portion, the cover portion rising and falling between a first position that is in close contact with the rotating portion and seals the discharge hole and a second position that is spaced apart from the rotating portion and opens the discharge hole as the lifting portion rises and falls.

[0011] Furthermore, when the contents container is tilted while the lid is in the second position, the contents can pass through the discharge hole and be discharged into the space between the lid and the rotating part.

[0012] Furthermore, the lifting part may include at least one lifting protrusion, which protrudes from the side of the lifting part. The shoulder may include a first guide part, which is disposed on the upper side of the mouth and has at least one guide groove for inserting the lifting protrusion. When the rotating part rotates, the lifting part can rotate and rise simultaneously as the lifting protrusion moves along the guide groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the rotating part may include a second guide part, which is disposed outside the first guide part and has formed at least one vertical groove for inserting the lifting protrusion. When the rotating part rotates, as the lifting protrusion moves along the vertical groove, the rotating part and the lifting part can rotate simultaneously and the lifting part can move up and down relative to the rotating part.

[0014] Furthermore, the shoulder may also include a connecting tube, which runs vertically through the shoulder and forms the connecting space on its inner side. The lifting part is placed on the upper side of the connecting tube. The lifting part may also include a guide protrusion, which protrudes downward from the placement part of the connecting tube by a predetermined length. The connecting hole may be arranged on the outer side of the guide protrusion, and the contents are guided by the guide protrusion to move to the connecting hole.

[0015] Furthermore, the lifting part may also include a connecting protrusion that protrudes upward from the placement part and connects with the cover part.

[0016] Furthermore, the shoulder may also include a sealing wall, which is spaced apart from the outside of the connecting pipe. The lifting part may also include a soft first sealing tube, which extends downward from the periphery of the placement part and increases in diameter towards the lower side, thereby closely abutting at least one area of ​​the inner side of the sealing wall.

[0017] Furthermore, the lifting part may also include a first blocking part, which extends downward from the placement part on the outside of the guide protrusion, and when the cover is in the first position, it is in close contact with the inner side of the connecting tube, and when the cover is in the second position, it is separated from the connecting tube, and the at least one connecting hole may be formed between the first sealing tube and the first blocking part.

[0018] Furthermore, the upper surface of the shoulder may include: at least one limiting flange that contacts at least one rotation limiting protrusion formed in the rotating portion and limits the rotation radius of the rotating portion; and at least one retaining protrusion that is spaced apart from the limiting flange and, when the rotation limiting protrusion is in contact with the limiting flange, serves to retain the configuration of the rotation limiting protrusion.

[0019] Furthermore, the rotating part may also include a discharge pipe disposed on the upper side of the lifting part and extending vertically through it, with the discharge hole formed on its inner side. The lifting part may also include a soft second sealing pipe that extends upward from around the placement part placed on the shoulder and increases in diameter towards the upper side, thereby closely adhering to at least one area on the inner side of the discharge pipe.

[0020] Furthermore, the cover may include a second blocking portion extending from the upper surface to the lower side, and when the cover is in the first position, it is in close contact with the inner side of the discharge pipe, and when the cover is in the second position, it is separated from the discharge pipe.

[0021] Furthermore, the upper surface of the rotating part can be a curved shape in which the height and surface area increase as it moves outward.

[0022] Furthermore, an edge portion may be formed around the rotating part, the edge portion having a predetermined inclination with the upper surface of the rotating part and extending outward to prevent the contents from flowing out along the outer peripheral surface of the rotating part.

[0023] Furthermore, the contents container may also include a blocking plug that is combined with the mouthpiece to prevent the contents from flowing into the shoulder and is removed upon first use of the contents container.

[0024] Invention Effects

[0025] According to the present invention, the cover can be raised or lowered and the contents can be adjusted for discharge by simply rotating the cover, thereby preventing the accumulation of liquid contents in the opening and solving the problem of liquid contents flowing out along the outside of the opening.

[0026] Furthermore, according to the present invention, when the lid is raised or lowered, the shoulder, the lifting part, and the rotating part, which are internal structures of the contents container, remain in close contact with each other, thereby preventing the contents from leaking from the inside of the contents container even when the lid is raised or lowered.

[0027] Furthermore, according to the present invention, the upper surface of the lid can be made in a curved shape to allow the contents to be naturally discharged to the outside.

[0028] Furthermore, according to the present invention, an edge portion with a predetermined inclination can be formed around the upper surface of the rotating part to prevent the contents from flowing out onto the outer surface of the container, thereby providing a clean user experience.

[0029] Furthermore, according to the present invention, a guide protrusion protrudes from the lower side of the lifting part, and the guide protrusion guides the contents flowing from the shoulder into the lifting part to move to the connecting hole, thereby forming a more natural fluid flow.

Figure 2 This is an exploded perspective view of the contents container according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of the contents container according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 This is a perspective view of the rotating part according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 This is a perspective view of the lifting section according to an embodiment of the present invention. For ease of explanation, Figure 3 The lower part of the container section is omitted.

[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 5The contents container 1000 of an embodiment of the present invention may include: a container part 100; a shoulder part 200; a lifting part 300; a rotating part 400; and a cover part 500.

[0043] The container 100 can hold the contents. The contents can be liquid, gel, or powder cosmetic materials. For example, the contents may include lotions, milk lotions, moisturizing lotions, nourishing lotions, emollients, skin softeners, toners, astringents, massage creams, nourishing creams, moisturizing creams, whitening serums, brightening creams, UV blockers, sunscreens, sun milk, BB creams, base creams, foundations, CC creams, concealers, blushes, shading powders, eyeshadows, eyebrow powders, eye creams, and primers. However, it is not limited to these and may also include other dosage forms or types of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and quasi-drugs.

[0044] In one embodiment, a spout 110 may be formed on the upper side of the container portion 100. The spout 110 may have an open upper surface to allow contents to be discharged from or flow into the interior of the container portion 100 through the spout 110. For example, the spout 110 may be combined with a shoulder portion 200, and contents discharged upward through the spout 110 may flow into the shoulder portion 200. A threaded engagement portion for detachably engaging with the shoulder portion 200 may be formed on the outer peripheral surface of the spout 110.

[0045] The shoulder 200 can guide the lifting and lowering of the lifting section 300 and can adjust whether the contents are discharged to the outside. For example, the shoulder 200 can be combined with the spout 110 of the container section 100 and has a communicating space inside for the movement of the contents. At this time, when the lifting section 300 is in the lowered state, the inflow of contents from the container section 100 to the shoulder 200 can be blocked, and when the lifting section 300 is in the raised state, the inflow of contents from the container section 100 to the shoulder 200 can be allowed.

[0046] In an embodiment, the shoulder 200 may include a connecting pipe 210, a sealing wall 220, a first guide portion 230, and / or a pressurizing portion 240.

[0047] The connecting tube 210 can extend vertically and form a connecting space on its inner side, and can be disposed on the upper side of the mouthpiece 110. In addition, a lifting part 300 can be placed on the upper side of the connecting tube 210. In this case, the lifting part 300 can adjust whether the contents are discharged by being in close contact with or separated from the end of the connecting tube 210.

[0048] The sealing wall 220 can be tightly fitted against the lifting part 300 (especially the first sealing tube 331), and can ensure that the contents always move only inside the shoulder 200 and the lifting part 300 and prevent leakage to the outside. In addition, even when the lifting part 300 is raised or lowered, the sealing wall 220 can be kept tightly fitted against the lifting part 300 (especially the first sealing tube 331). For example, the sealing wall 220 can be disposed on the upper side of the mouth 110, and more specifically, it can be disposed on the upper side of the mouth 110 and the outer side of the connecting tube 210.

[0049] The first guide portion 230 can guide the lifting and lowering of the lifting portion 300. For this purpose, at least one guide groove 231 can be formed in the first guide portion 230, and the lifting protrusion 320 of the lifting portion 300 can be inserted into the guide groove 231. As the lifting protrusion 320 moves along the guide groove 231, the lifting portion 300 can rotate and rise and fall simultaneously. For example, the first guide portion 230 can be disposed on the upper side of the mouth portion 110, and more specifically, it can be disposed on the upper side of the mouth portion 110 and on the outside of the connecting tube 210 (and the sealing wall 220).

[0050] The pressurizing part 240 protrudes downward from the shoulder 200. When the shoulder 200 is engaged with the mouth part 110, the pressurizing part 240 can apply pressure to the container part 100. As a result, the seal between the shoulder 200 and the container part 100 is strengthened, and the contents are prevented from flowing out along the engagement area between the container part 100 and the shoulder 200.

[0051] In an embodiment, the shoulder 200 can be coupled to the mouth 110 via the container coupling 250, and can be rotatably coupled to the rotating part 400 via the rotating coupling 260. For example, the container coupling 250 can be formed along the outer side of the mouth 110 and coupled to the mouth 110 by a threaded connection, and the rotating coupling 260 can be disposed on the outer side of the container coupling 250 and coupled to the rotating part 400 by a snap-fit ​​connection. However, the coupling method of the present invention is not limited to this. According to the embodiment, the container coupling 250 and / or the rotating coupling 260 can be coupled by various known methods such as threaded connection, snap-fit ​​connection, hook connection, snap-fit ​​connection, and hook connection.

[0052] In an embodiment, the upper surface of the shoulder 200 (in particular, the upper surface of the shoulder 200 located between the container joint 250 and the rotation joint 260) may include: at least one limiting flange 270, which engages with at least one rotation limiting protrusion 430 formed on the rotation portion 400 and limits the rotation radius of the rotation portion 400; and at least one retaining protrusion 280, which is spaced apart from the limiting flange 270 and serves to retain the configuration of the rotation limiting protrusion 430 when the rotation limiting protrusion 430 is engaged with the limiting flange 270.

[0053] In this embodiment, with the rotation limiting protrusion 430 in contact with the limiting flange 270, when the rotating part 400 is rotated in a specific direction (specifically, the direction in which the rotation limiting protrusion 430 moves toward the limiting flange 270), the rotation limiting protrusion 430 and the limiting flange 270 can move together, thereby allowing the rotating part 400 and the shoulder 200 to rotate synchronously. When the rotating part 400 and the shoulder 200 rotate synchronously, the shoulder 200 (and the lifting part 300, the rotating part 400, and the cover part 500 directly / indirectly coupled to the shoulder 200) can be separated from or coupled to the container part 100.

[0054] In one embodiment, the rotation-limiting protrusion 430 may extend beyond the retaining protrusion 280, but this requires applying a force greater than a predetermined magnitude to the rotating portion 400. In other words, when a force less than a predetermined magnitude is applied to the rotating portion 400, the retaining protrusion 280 can restrict the movement of the rotation-limiting protrusion 430.

[0055] In the embodiment, when the rotating part 400 rotates, at least one of the retaining protrusions 280 undergoes elastic deformation and moves downward, so that the rotating part 400 can be rotated even if a small force is applied to it.

[0056] In an embodiment, the limiting flange 270 may include: a first limiting flange 271; and a second limiting flange 272, spaced apart from the first limiting flange 271 by a predetermined distance. The first limiting flange 271 may engage with one side of the rotation limiting protrusion 430 and block the movement of the rotation limiting protrusion 430 toward the first limiting flange 271, thereby limiting rotation of the rotating portion 400 in one direction. Furthermore, the second limiting flange 272 may engage with the other side of the rotation limiting protrusion 430 and restrict movement of the rotation limiting protrusion 430 toward the second limiting flange 272, thereby limiting rotation of the rotating portion 400 in the other direction.

[0057] In one embodiment, with the shoulder 200 engaged with the container portion 100 and the rotation limiting protrusion 430 in contact with the second limiting flange 272, when the rotating portion 400 is rotated in the other direction, the rotating portion 400 can rotate synchronously with the shoulder 200, and the shoulder 200 can separate from the container portion 100. Conversely, with the shoulder 200 separated from the container portion 100 and the rotation limiting protrusion 430 in contact with the first limiting flange 271, when the rotating portion 400 is rotated in the first direction, the rotating portion 400 can rotate synchronously with the shoulder 200, and the shoulder 200 can engage with the container portion 100.

[0058] In an embodiment, the retaining protrusion 280 may include: a first retaining protrusion 281 spaced at a predetermined distance from the first limiting flange 271; and a second retaining protrusion 282 spaced at a predetermined distance from the second limiting flange 272. When one side of the rotation limiting protrusion 430 is in contact with the first limiting flange 271, the first retaining protrusion 281 can retain the position of the rotation limiting protrusion 430 by being disposed on the other side of the rotation limiting protrusion 430. When the other side of the rotation limiting protrusion 430 is in contact with the second limiting flange 272, the second retaining protrusion 282 can retain the position of the rotation limiting protrusion 430 by being disposed on one side of the rotation limiting protrusion 430.

[0059] In this embodiment, when the rotating part 400 rotates, the first retaining protrusion 281 can elastically deform and move downward, while the second retaining protrusion 282 may not elastically deform when the rotating part 400 rotates. This is achieved by differentiating the force applied to the rotating part 400 to raise the cover 500 from the first position to the second position (i.e., the force required for the rotation-limiting protrusion 430 to pass over the first retaining protrusion 281) and the force applied to the rotating part 400 to separate the shoulder 200 from the container part 100 (i.e., the force required for the rotation-limiting protrusion 430 to pass over the second retaining protrusion 282), so that the user can intuitively grasp the degree of operation of the rotating part 400.

[0060] The lifting unit 300 can adjust whether the contents are discharged to the outside while lifting. For example, the lifting unit 300 can be combined with the inner side of the shoulder 200, and can be rotated by the rotation of the rotating unit 400 and lifted relative to the shoulder 200.

[0061] In an embodiment, the lifting part 300 may include a placement part 310, a lifting protrusion 320, a sealing tube 330, a guide protrusion 340, a first blocking part 350 and / or a connecting protrusion 360.

[0062] The placement part 310 can be placed on the upper side of the connecting tube 210 of the shoulder 200. When the placement part 310 is placed on the connecting tube 210, it can block the discharge of contents; when the placement part 310 is separated from the connecting tube 210, it can allow the discharge of contents.

[0063] The placement part 310 may be formed with at least one communication hole 311 for moving the contents. In other words, the contents flowing from the container part 100 to the lifting part 300 through the mouth part 110 and / or the communication tube 210 can be discharged to the upper side of the lifting part 300 through the communication hole 311.

[0064] A lifting protrusion 320 may be formed protruding from the side of the lifting portion 300. The lifting protrusion 320 may be inserted into a guide groove 231 formed on the first guide portion 230 of the shoulder portion 200 and / or a vertical groove 421 formed on the second guide portion 420 of the rotating portion 400. This is to ensure that the lifting portion 300 rotates synchronously with the rotating portion 400 when the rotating portion 400 is rotated, and to achieve lifting relative to the shoulder portion 200 when the lifting portion 300 rotates. For example, the lifting protrusion 320 may protrude outward from the placement portion 310.

[0065] The sealing tube 330 can be tightly fitted against the shoulder 200 (especially the sealing wall 220) and / or the rotating part 400 (especially the discharge tube 410), ensuring that the contents always move only inside the shoulder 200, the lifting part 300, and the rotating part 400 without flowing out. At this time, at least a portion of the sealing tube 330 can be formed of a soft material capable of elastic deformation, thereby maintaining tight contact with the sealing wall 220 and / or the discharge tube 410 even when the lifting part 300 rises or falls. For example, at least a portion of the sealing tube 330 can be formed of polyethylene (PE), but is not limited thereto; various soft materials can be used.

[0066] In an embodiment, the sealing tube 330 may include: a first sealing tube 331 extending downward from the periphery of the placement portion 310; and a second sealing tube 332. The first sealing tube 331 may be in close contact with at least one region of the inner side of the sealing wall 220 and its diameter increases towards the lower side, thereby effectively achieving close contact with the sealing wall 220. Similarly, the second sealing tube 332 may be in close contact with at least one region of the inner side of the discharge tube 410 and its diameter increases towards the upper side, thereby effectively achieving close contact with the discharge tube 410.

[0067] The guide protrusion 340 can protrude downward from the placement portion 310. At this time, the connecting hole 311 can be positioned outside the guide protrusion 340, and the contents can be guided by the guide protrusion 340 to move to the connecting hole 311. In other words, the contents passing through the connecting tube 210 can collide with the guide protrusion 340 and be distributed to the connecting hole 311 side, thereby making the movement of the contents smooth and the fluid flow natural.

[0068] In this embodiment, the guide protrusion 340 protrudes from the placement portion 310 by a predetermined length, so that even when the lifting portion 300 is in maximum lifting position, the guide protrusion 340 can still be positioned inside the connecting tube 210. Since the guide protrusion 340 is positioned inside the connecting tube 210 even when the lifting portion 300 is in maximum lifting position, the guide protrusion 340 can always guide the contents to move to the connecting hole 311 regardless of the lifting portion 300's lifting position.

[0069] When the lifting part 300 descends (i.e., when the cover 500 is in the first position), the first blocking part 350 can block the movement of the contents from the shoulder 200 to the lifting part 300. When the lifting part 300 rises (i.e., when the cover 500 is in the second position), the contents can be allowed to move from the shoulder 200 to the lifting part 300. For this purpose, for example, the first blocking part 350 can extend downward from the placement part 310 on the outside of the guide protrusion 340. When the lifting part 300 descends (i.e., when the cover 500 is in the first position), the first blocking part 350 can be in close contact with the inner side of the connecting tube 210. When the lifting part 300 rises (i.e., when the cover 500 is in the second position), the first blocking part 350 can be separated from the connecting tube 210.

[0070] In one embodiment, at least one connecting hole 311 may be formed between the sealing tube 330 and the first blocking portion 350. Thus, when the placement portion 310 is placed in the connecting tube 210, the contents cannot flow into the connecting hole 311 through the first blocking portion 350, while when the placement portion 310 is separated from the connecting tube 210, the contents can flow into the connecting hole 311.

[0071] The engaging protrusion 360 can protrude upwards toward the placement portion 310 and engage with the cover portion 500 (especially the engaging tube 510). For example, at least one engaging protrusion is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the engaging protrusion 360, and as the engaging protrusion 360 engages with the inner side of the engaging tube 510, the lifting portion 300 can engage with the cover portion 500. However, it is not limited to this, and the engagement of the lifting portion 300 with the cover portion 500 can be achieved using various known engagement structures.

[0072] The rotating part 400 can be coupled to the outer side of the shoulder 200, and the lifting part 300 can be rotated simultaneously during the rotation operation. Thus, the lifting part 300 can be raised and lowered inside the shoulder 200. Furthermore, a discharge hole 411 for discharging contents supplied from the connecting hole 311 can be formed on the upper side of the rotating part 400.

[0073] In an embodiment, the rotating part 400 may include a discharge pipe 410, a second guide part 420, and / or a rotation limiting protrusion 430.

[0074] The discharge pipe 410 can be disposed on the upper side of the lifting part 300, and is vertically continuous with a discharge hole 411 formed on its inner side. The contents flowing into the lifting part 300 can be discharged to the outside through the discharge pipe 410.

[0075] In this embodiment, the discharge pipe 410 can be tightly fitted with the second sealing pipe 332 of the lifting part 300, ensuring that the contents always move only inside the lifting part 300 and the rotating part 400 without flowing out to the outside. Furthermore, even when the lifting part 300 is moving up and down, the discharge pipe 410 and the second sealing pipe 332 can remain tightly fitted.

[0076] When the rotating part 400 rotates, the second guide part 420 can cause the lifting part 300 to rotate synchronously with the rotating part 400. For this purpose, at least one vertical groove 421 is formed on the second guide part 420, in which the lifting protrusion 320 of the lifting part 300 can be inserted. When the rotating part 400 rotates, the lifting protrusion 320 can rotate synchronously with the vertical groove 421, and the lifting protrusion 320 can move up and down along the vertical groove 421. For example, the second guide part 420 can be disposed outside the first guide part 230 such that it extends downward from the upper surface of the rotating part 400, but it is not limited to this; the second guide part 420 can also be disposed within the first guide part 230.

[0077] The rotation limiting protrusion 430 may, for example, protrude outward and / or downward from one side of the second guide portion 420. The rotation limiting protrusion 430 may engage with the limiting flange 270 of the shoulder portion 200 and limit the rotation radius of the rotating portion 400, and may engage with the retaining protrusion 280 and retain its configuration.

[0078] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the rotating part 400 may have a curved shape in which the height and surface area increase towards the outer side. Therefore, the contents discharged through the discharge pipe 410 can flow smoothly to the outside along the curved surface of the upper surface of the rotating part 400.

[0079] In one embodiment, an edge portion 440 may be formed around the upper surface of the rotating portion 400. The edge portion 440 may extend outward from the upper surface of the rotating portion 400 and may be formed with a predetermined inclination in the upward direction. Additionally, according to another embodiment, at least one segmental flange may be formed on the inner side of the edge portion 400. This edge portion 440 can prevent contents from flowing out along the outer peripheral surface of the rotating portion 400 during the discharge of contents. For example, during the process of the contents moving along the upper surface of the rotating portion 400 and being discharged to the outside, if the discharge of contents is interrupted when the user changes the tilt angle of the contents container 1000, the contents will not stick to the outer surface of the contents container 1000 due to the outwardly protruding upward edge portion 400, thus providing a clean user experience.

[0080] The cover 500 can be combined with the upper side of the lifting part 300. As the lifting part 300 moves up and down, the cover can move between a first position where it is in close contact with the rotating part 400 and seals the discharge hole 411, and a second position where it is separated from the rotating part 400 and opens the discharge hole 411. When the contents container 1000 is tilted while the lifting part 300 is in the second position, the contents can pass through the discharge hole 411 and be discharged into the space between the cover 500 and the rotating part 400.

[0081] In an embodiment, the cover portion 500 may include a connecting tube 510 and / or a second blocking portion 520.

[0082] The connecting tube 510 protrudes downward from the cover portion 500 and has a through space formed on its inner side for inserting the connecting protrusion 360. At this time, at least one engaging groove can be formed on the inner side of the connecting protrusion 360, allowing the lifting portion 300 to engage with the inner side of the connecting tube 510. However, this is not a limitation; the engagement of the lifting portion 300 and the cover portion 500 can be achieved using various known engagement structures.

[0083] When the cover 500 is in the first position, the second blocking portion 520 can block the discharge of contents from the discharge tube 410, while when the cover 500 is in the second position, the discharge of contents from the discharge tube 410 can be allowed. For this purpose, for example, the second blocking portion 520 can extend downward from the upper surface of the cover 500 on the outside of the connecting tube 510, and when the cover 500 is in the first position, it can be in close contact with the inner surface of the discharge tube 410, while when the cover 500 is in the second position, it can be separated from the discharge tube 410.

[0084] In one embodiment, the lower surface of the cover 500 may be formed with a shape corresponding to the upper surface of the rotating part 400. This enhances the sealing performance.

[0085] According to an embodiment, the contents container 1000 may further include a blocking plug 600, which is combined with the mouth 110 to block the flow of contents into the shoulder 200 and is removed when the contents container 1000 is used for the first time.

[0086] In this embodiment, upon first use of the contents container 1000, the user can rotate the rotating part 400 to engage the rotation-restricting protrusion 430 with the restricting flange 270 (especially the second restricting flange 272), and then continue rotating the rotating part 400 in the same direction, thereby separating the shoulder 200 from the container part 100 and removing the blocking plug 600 from the mouth part 100. The user can then use the contents container 1000 after reattaching the shoulder 200 to the container part 100 with the blocking plug 600 removed.

[0087] Figures 6 to 8 This illustrates the schematic operation of the contents container according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, Figure 7 (a) is a cross-sectional view of the contents container 1000 when the lid 500 is in the first position. Figure 7 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the contents container 1000 when the lid 500 is in the second position. Additionally, Figure 8 (a) is a perspective view of the contents container 1000 when the lid 500 is in the first position, which is a perspective view of the interior of the rotating part 400. Figure 8 Figure (b) is a perspective view of the contents container 1000 when the lid 500 is in the second position, showing the interior of the rotating part 400. Figure 9 shows the contents container 1000 tilted when the lid 500 is in the second position. For ease of explanation, in... Figure 7 The lower part of the container section 100 is omitted in Figure 9.

[0088] First, refer to Figure 7 When the rotating part 400 is rotated, the vertical groove 421 of the rotating part 400 rotates. At this time, the lifting protrusion 320 rotates together with the vertical groove 421, and the lifting part 300 rotates synchronously with the rotating part 400. The lifting protrusion 320 rotates and moves along the guide groove 231, thus rotating and lifting. In other words, when the rotating part 400 is rotated, the lifting part 300 lifts and lowers inside the shoulder 200. When the lifting part 300 lifts and lowers, the cover 500, which is connected to the lifting part 300, also lifts and lowers together with the lifting part 300. Therefore, the cover 500 lifts and lowers between a first position close to the rotating part 400 and a second position separated from the rotating part 400.

[0089] When the cover 500 is in the first position, the first blocking part 350 is in close contact with the inner side of the connecting pipe 210, and as the second blocking part 520 is in close contact with the inner side of the discharge pipe 410, the movement of the contents into the connecting hole 311 and the discharge into the outside of the discharge hole 411 are blocked. When the cover 500 rises to the second position by rotating the rotating part 400, the contents are allowed to be discharged to the outside because the first blocking part 350 is separated from the connecting pipe 210 and the second blocking part 520 is separated from the discharge pipe 410. At this time, regardless of the raising and lowering of the cover 500, the sealing pipe 330 is always in close contact with the inner side of the sealing wall 220 and the discharge pipe 410, so the contents always only move inside the sealing wall 220, the sealing pipe 330 and the discharge pipe 410, and the outflow of the contents is blocked.

[0090] Reference Figure 8 When the cover portion 500 is in the first position, the rotation limiting protrusion 430 is located between the first limiting flange 271 and the first retaining protrusion 281. In this case, since one side of the rotation limiting protrusion 430 is in contact with the first limiting flange 271, movement toward the first limiting flange 271 is blocked, thereby limiting the rotation of the rotating portion 400 in the first direction. At this time, when the rotating portion 400 is rotated in a second direction different from the first direction, the rotation limiting protrusion 430 can pass over the first retaining protrusion 281, but this requires applying a force greater than a predetermined magnitude to the rotating portion 400. When a force less than a predetermined magnitude is applied to the rotating portion 400, the first retaining protrusion 281 maintains the position of the rotation limiting protrusion 430.

[0091] Then, as the rotating part 400 continues to rotate in the second direction, the rotation limiting protrusion 430 can move to the second retaining protrusion 281. At this time, as the rotating part 400 continues to rotate in the second direction, the rotation limiting protrusion 430 can pass over the second retaining protrusion 282, but this requires applying a force greater than a predetermined magnitude to the rotating part 400. When a force less than a predetermined magnitude is applied to the rotating part 400, the second retaining protrusion 282 restricts the movement of the rotation limiting protrusion 430. With the application of a force greater than a predetermined magnitude, when the rotating part 400 further rotates in the second direction and moves the cover part 500 to the second position, the rotation limiting protrusion 430 is located between the second limiting flange 272 and the second retaining protrusion 282. Since the other side of the rotation limiting protrusion 430, which is different from the first side, is in contact with the second limiting flange 272, movement toward the second limiting flange 272 is blocked, thereby restricting the rotation of the rotating part 400 in the second direction.

[0092] And, although Figure 8 Not shown, but when the rotating part 400 is further rotated in the second direction, the rotation limiting protrusion 430 moves together with the second limiting flange 272, and the rotating part 400 rotates synchronously with the shoulder 200, so the shoulder 200, the lifting part 300, the rotating part 400 and the cover 500 are separated from the container part 100.

[0093] Referring to Figure 9, when the contents container 1000 is tilted with the lid 500 moved to the second position, the contents can be discharged to the outside along the connecting pipe 210, the connecting hole 311, and the discharge pipe 410. At this time, the guide protrusion 340 of the lifting part 300 guides the contents to flow towards the connecting hole 311.
