Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a container for contents. Background Art

[0002] Generally, cosmetics are mainly classified into solid and powder forms or liquid forms, and different containers are used according to the form of cosmetics. In particular, solid cosmetics such as foundation or lipstick usually adopt a rotary extrusion type cosmetic container.

[0003] A traditional rotary extrusion type cosmetic container is usually configured such that after the lid is opened, a solid rod-shaped cosmetic can be raised or lowered to the outside of the container by rotating a rotating body provided at the lower part of the container. For example, when using a solid cosmetic such as lipstick, first open the lid of the container, and then rotate the rotating body in one direction to raise and lower the rod-shaped cosmetic so that it protrudes to the outside. After use, rotate the rotating body in the opposite direction to lower the rod-shaped cosmetic to accommodate it inside the container.

[0004] However, such rotary extrusion type cosmetics have the following limitations: when a user performs a rotation operation on them, it is difficult for the user to intuitively estimate the degree of rotation (or, rotation speed) of the rotating body. Summary of the Invention

[0033] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 , the content container 1000 may include a housing part 100, a lifting guide part 200, a lifting part 300, an upper cover 400, and a lower cover 500

[0034] The lifting part 300 is accommodated inside the housing part 100, and the housing part 100 can receive a rotational force from the user. For example, the user can apply a rotational force to the housing part 100 by holding the exposed lifting guide part 200 and the housing part 100, so that the housing part 100 and the lifting guide part 200 can rotate relative to each other

[0035] In an embodiment, the housing part 100 may include a housing main body 110 and a housing cover 120

[0036] The housing main body 110 may be configured in a tubular form with an open upper end and a lower end, and a part of the lifting part 300 and the lifting guide part 200 may be accommodated inside it. At least one first fastening protrusion 111 may be formed on the inner circumferential surface of the lower end of the housing main body 110. For example, the first fastening protrusion 111 extends in the length direction (or, up and down direction) of the housing main body 110 with a predetermined length, and a plurality of first fastening protrusions 111 may be arranged at intervals along the inner circumferential surface of the housing main body 110. Through such first fastening protrusions 111, the housing main body 110 and the driving part 320 of the lifting part 300 can be connected to rotate synchronously

[0037] In addition, a plurality of second fastening protrusions 112 and engaging protrusions 113 for rotatably connecting the housing cover 120 synchronously may be formed on the outer circumferential surface of the upper end of the housing main body 110. For example, the second fastening protrusions 112 extend in the length direction (or, up and down direction) of the housing main body 110 with a predetermined length, and a plurality of second fastening protrusions 112 may be arranged at intervals along at least one area of the outer circumferential surface of the upper end of the housing main body 110. In addition, the engaging protrusions 113 extend along the outer circumferential surface of the housing main body 110 and may be arranged below the second fastening protrusions 112

[0038] The housing cover 120 may be combined with the housing main body 110 in a manner that surrounds the upper end of the housing main body 110. At least one third fastening protrusion 121 and an engaging groove (not shown in the drawing reference) may be formed on the inner circumferential surface of the housing cover 120. For example, the third fastening protrusion 121 extends in the length direction (or, up and down direction) of the housing cover 120 with a predetermined length, and a plurality of third fastening protrusions 121 may be arranged at intervals along the inner circumferential surface of the housing cover 120. In addition, the engaging groove may be arranged below the third fastening protrusion 121

[0039] When the upper end of the housing main body 110 is inserted into the inside of the housing cover 120, the second fastening protrusion 112 engages with the third fastening protrusion 121, and the engaging protrusion 113 is inserted and engaged with the engaging groove, so that the housing cover 120 and the housing main body 110 can be rotatably coupled synchronously.

[0040] At least one insertion protrusion 122 may be formed on the outer circumferential surface of the housing cover 120, and the upper cover 400 is detachably coupled to the at least one insertion protrusion 122.

[0041] In addition, although the housing main body 110 and the housing cover 120 are illustrated as being separately formed and coupled to each other, this is merely an example, and according to an embodiment, the housing main body 110 and the housing cover 120 may be integrally formed.

[0042] The lifting guide part 200 guides the rising and falling of the content, and the content can be exposed to the outside for the user to use the content. A part of the upper end of the lifting guide part 200 (specifically, the lifting guide tube 210) is exposed to the upper side of the housing part 100, and a part of the lower end of the lifting guide part 200 (specifically, the lower support tube 220) is inserted into the inside of the housing part 100 and can be connected to the second gear part 340 described below.

[0043] The lifting guide part 200 may include a lifting guide tube 210 and a lower support tube 220.

[0044] The lifting guide tube 210 accommodates the content and the accommodating part 311 inside, and can guide the rising and falling of the content. An outlet 211 for exposing the content to the outside may be formed open at the upper end of the lifting guide tube 210. After the user rotates the housing part 100 to protrude the content outside the outlet 211, the user can apply the content to a desired part such as the lips.

[0045] The lower end of the lifting guide tube 210 is configured to have a larger inner diameter and outer diameter than other regions in order to accommodate the upper end of the lower support tube 220 inside. At least one cut part 212 for rotatably connecting the lower support tube 220 synchronously may be formed through the outer circumferential surface of the lower end of the lifting guide tube 210.

[0046] The lower support tube 220 is accommodated inside the housing part 100 and can be rotatably coupled to the lower side of the lifting guide tube 210. To this end, a coupling protrusion 221 corresponding to the cut part 212 of the lifting guide tube 210 may be formed on the outer circumferential surface of the upper end of the lower support tube 220. Specifically, when the upper end of the lower support tube 220 is inserted into the lower end of the lifting guide tube 210, the coupling protrusion 221 is accommodated inside the corresponding cut part 212, so that the lower support tube 220 and the lifting guide tube 210 can be rotatably connected synchronously.

[0047] The second gear part 340 may be rotatably connected to the inside of the lower support tube 220 in a synchronizable manner. For this purpose, at least one fourth fastening protrusion 222 may be formed on the inner circumferential surface of the upper end of the lower support tube 220. For example, the fourth fastening protrusion 222 is formed to extend in a predetermined length in the longitudinal direction (or, the vertical direction) of the lower support tube 220, and a plurality of fourth fastening protrusions 222 may be arranged at intervals along the inner circumferential surface of the lower support tube 220.

[0048] The lifting part 300 is disposed inside the housing part 100 to support or carry the content, and the content can be lifted or lowered by the rotation of the housing part 100.

[0049] The lifting part 300 may include a content holding part 310, a driving part 320, a first gear part 330, and a second gear part 340.

[0050] The content holding part 310 may carry the content inside the lifting guide part 200 by supporting the lower side of the content. The content is in a solid or semi-solid form applied to the user's skin or the like. For example, it may be a stick-shaped cosmetic, but is not limited thereto, and various contents such as drugs other than cosmetics may be applicable.

[0051] When the housing part 100 rotates, the content holding part 310 rotates relative to the driving part 320 and may be lifted or lowered together with the content.

[0052] For this purpose, a first lifting protrusion 312-1 and a second lifting protrusion 321 may be respectively formed on the outer circumferential surface of the content holding part 310 and the inner circumferential surface of the driving part 320 opposite thereto. For example, the first lifting protrusion 312-1 and the second lifting protrusion 321 may be formed to extend in a thread shape in a certain area of the outer circumferential surface of the content holding part 310 and the inner circumferential surface of the driving part 320. When the housing part 100 rotates, the first lifting protrusion 312-1 and the second lifting protrusion 321 rotate relative to each other in opposite directions, so that the content holding part 310 can be lifted or lowered.

[0053] The content holding part 310 may include a receiving part 311 and rod parts 312, 313.

[0054] The upper end of the receiving part 311 is open, and at least a part of the content may be received inside. For example, the lower end of the content is received and supported inside the receiving part 311, and the remaining area of the content may be received inside the lifting guide tube 210.

[0055] The rod parts 312, 313 extend downward from the lower end of the receiving part 311, and at least a part of them may be inserted into the inside of the driving part 320. A first lifting protrusion 312-1 may be formed on the outer circumferential surface of such rod parts 312, 313.

[0056] The horizontal cross-sections of the rod portions 312 and 313 may be non-circular. As described above, when the rod portions 312 and 313 with non-circular cross-sections are inserted into the through-holes 342 of the second gear portion 340 having a shape corresponding to their shape, the content holding portion 310 may be connected to the second gear portion 340 in a synchronously rotatable manner.

[0057] In an embodiment, the rod portions 312 and 313 may include a main body portion 312 and an insertion portion 313.

[0058] The main body portion 312 extends from the lower end of the accommodating portion 311 and may be integrally formed with the accommodating portion 311. An insertion space is formed inside the main body portion 312, and at least a part of the lower end and both side surfaces in one direction may be opened in a manner communicating with the insertion space. The first lifting protrusion 312-1 may be formed along the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 312.

[0059] The insertion portion 313 is formed in a rod shape corresponding to the insertion space of the main body portion 312 and may be inserted and coupled to the inside of the main body portion 312. The side surfaces of the insertion portion 313 may be exposed to the outside through the opened both side surfaces of the main body portion 312. At least one limiting protrusion 313-1 may be formed on the side surface of the insertion portion 313 exposed to the outside. Such a limiting protrusion 313-1 is received in the receiving groove 344 of the second gear portion 340, and may limit the rising height of the content holding portion 310 or prevent any separation of the content holding portion 310.

[0060] At this time, the assembly of the content holding portion 310 and the second gear portion 340 may be performed as follows: after inserting the main body portion 312 into the through-hole 342 of the second gear portion 340 from the upper side, the insertion portion 313 is coupled to the inside of the main body portion 312.

[0061] The upper part of the driving portion 320 is open to accommodate the rod portions 312 and 313 of the content holding portion 310 inside, and the content holding portion 310 can be lifted and lowered by relative rotation with the content holding portion 310. For this purpose, a second lifting protrusion 321 may be formed on the inner peripheral surface of the upper end of the driving portion 320.

[0062] A plurality of fifth fastening protrusions 322 may be formed on the outer peripheral surface of the lower end of the driving portion 320. Such fifth fastening protrusions 322 are engaged with the first fastening protrusions 111 of the housing portion 100, so that the driving portion 320 can be connected to the housing portion 100 in a synchronously rotatable manner.

[0063] A coupling protrusion (not shown in the drawing reference) for rotatably connecting the lifting guide portion 200 relatively may be formed on the outer peripheral surface of the lower end of the driving portion 320. For example, the coupling protrusion may be formed in a ring shape along the outer peripheral surface.

[0064] At least one vertical guide groove 323 may be formed on the outer peripheral surface of the upper end of the driving part 320. For example, the vertical guide groove 323 may extend vertically from the peripheral edge of the upper end of the driving part 320. Such a vertical guide groove 323 may guide the up and down movement of the upper support 331-1 of the first gear part 330.

[0065] The first gear part 330 may be arranged outside the driving part 320 in a manner that surrounds the outer peripheral surface of the driving part 320. For example, the first gear part 330 may be arranged above the lower flange of the driving part 320.

[0066] The first gear part 330 may include an elastic part 331 and at least one first engaging protrusion 332 formed at the upper end of the elastic part 331.

[0067] When the second gear part 340 presses downward, the elastic part 331 undergoes elastic deformation and recovery, so that the first engaging protrusion 332 can sequentially engage with different second engaging protrusions 343 of the second gear part 340. Thus, the content container 1000 can provide the user with a click feeling (such as rotational load and specific sound, etc.) generated by the rotation of the housing part 100.

[0068] In an embodiment, the elastic part 331 may include an upper support 331-1, a lower support 331-2, a deformation part 331-3, and a horizontal support 331-4.

[0069] The upper support 331-1 and the lower support 331-2 may respectively support the upper end and the lower end of the elastic part 331. While the upper support 331-1 descends under pressure and transmits the pressure to the deformation part 331-3, the lower support 331-2 does not move up and down due to elastic deformation, and can make the elastic force of the elastic part 331 face the upper support 331-1 by supporting the elastic part 331.

[0070] A cavity is formed inside the upper support 331-1 and the lower support 331-2, and the driving part 320 can be arranged inside the upper support 331-1 and the lower support 331-2. For example, the upper support 331-1 and the lower support 331-2 may have a circular ring shape.

[0071] In an embodiment, at least one vertical guide protrusion 331-11 may be formed on the inner peripheral surface of the upper support 331-1. The vertical guide protrusion 331-11 is inserted into the corresponding vertical guide groove 323 of the driving part 320 to move along the vertical guide groove 323 with the elastic deformation or recovery of the elastic part 331. Therefore, the up and down movement of the upper support 331-1 can be guided.

[0072] The deformation part 331-3 can connect the upper support body 331-1 and the lower support body 331-2. When pressure is applied to the elastic part (especially the upper support body 331-1), the deformation part 331-3 can generate elastic force (i.e., elastic compression) while undergoing buckling deformation. When the pressure on the elastic part 331 is released, the buckling deformation is released, and the deformation part 331-3 can return to its original state.

[0073] In an embodiment, a plurality of deformation parts 331-3 can be provided. Each deformation part 331-3 can include: a first deformation part 331-31 that extends obliquely downward from the upper support body 331-1; a second deformation part 331-32 that extends obliquely upward from the lower support body 331-2 in a symmetric manner to the first deformation part; and a connecting part 331-33 that connects the first deformation part 331-31 and the second deformation part 331-32 in a manner such that the first deformation part 331-31 and the second deformation part 331-32 are symmetrically arranged up and down with respect to each other.

[0074] At this time, the first deformation part 331-31 and the second deformation part 331-32 can include at least one inflection point where the inclination direction changes.

[0075] In an embodiment, the thickness of the connecting part 331-33 can be configured to be greater than the thicknesses of the first deformation part 331-31 and the second deformation part 331-32. For example, the thickness of the connecting part 331-33 can be configured to gradually increase from the first deformation part 331-31 and the second deformation part 331-32 located at both ends to the central region of the connecting part 331-33.

[0076] The horizontal support body 331-4 is disposed between the upper support body 331-1 and the lower support body 331-2 and can connect two adjacent deformation parts 331-3 to each other. In an embodiment, the horizontal support body 331-4 can connect the central regions of the connecting parts 331-33 of two adjacent deformation parts 331-3 to each other. At this time, two adjacent deformation parts 331-3 can be formed symmetrically with respect to each other with the horizontal support body 331-4 as the center.

[0077] In an embodiment, when downward pressure is applied to the first gear part 330 and / or the elastic part 331, the shape of the horizontal support body 331-4 can be fixed. The horizontal support body 331-4 can prevent the elastic part 331 from being distorted during the elastic deformation and recovery processes of the deformation part 331-3 through this shape fixation.

[0078] The first engaging protrusion 332 can be formed to protrude upward along the periphery of the upper support body 331-1. As the housing part 100 rotates, such first engaging protrusions 332 sequentially engage with different second engaging protrusions 343 of different second gear parts 340, thereby providing a rotational load and a specific sound to the user.

[0079] The upper end of the first engaging protrusion 332 is configured as a curved surface so as to easily pass over the end of the second engaging protrusion 343, and inclined surfaces can be formed on both sides. At this time, the inclined surfaces on both sides of the first engaging protrusion 332 can be arranged to have different inclination angles. Therefore, different rotational loads can be provided to the user corresponding to the rotational direction of the housing part 100.

[0080] The first gear part 330 can be made of a synthetic resin material (especially a soft plastic material). As described above, since the first gear part 330 is made of a plastic material, not only can the manufacturing of the first gear part 330 be made easy, but also the production cost can be reduced compared with the conventional metal spring. In addition, the problem of separation and disposal from other components is solved, and it has environmental friendliness.

[0081] According to the embodiment, the components of the first gear part 330 can have the same or different materials. In addition, according to the embodiment, the components of the first gear part 330 can be integrally formed by injection molding, or can be formed by assembling multiple components.

[0082] The second gear part 340 can be arranged above the first gear part 330 in a state of being synchronously rotatably connected to the inside of the lifting guide part 200. In order to be combined with the lifting guide part 200, at least one sixth fastening protrusion 341 that fastens to the fourth fastening protrusion 222 of the lifting guide part 200 can be formed along the outer peripheral surface at the lower end of the second gear part 340.

[0083] A through hole 342 can be formed in the center of the second gear part 340. The rod parts 312 and 313 of the content holding part 310 can pass through such a through hole 342 and be accommodated inside the driving part 320. At this time, the through hole 342 can be formed in a non-circular shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the rod parts 312 and 313.

[0084] At least one second engaging protrusion 343 can be formed to protrude downward along the lower end periphery of the second gear part 340. The second engaging protrusion 343 can have a shape corresponding to the first engaging protrusion 332 of the first gear part 330, and when no rotational force is applied to the housing part 100, the first engaging protrusion 332 can maintain a fully engaged state between the second engaging protrusions 343.

[0085] The lower end of the second engaging protrusion 343 can be configured as a curved surface, and inclined surfaces can be formed on both sides. At this time, the inclined surfaces on both sides can have different inclination angles corresponding to the first engaging protrusion 332.

[0086] At least one receiving groove 344 corresponding to the restricting protrusion 313-1 of the content holding portion 310 may be formed inside the second gear portion 340. For example, the receiving groove 344 may be formed by being recessed upward on both sides of the through hole 342.

[0087] The upper cover 400 may be detachably coupled to the upper end of the housing portion 100 (specifically, the housing cover 120) to shield the outlet 211 formed at the end of the lifting guide portion 200.

[0088] The lower cover 500 is coupled to the lower end of the housing portion 100 and may shield the lower end of the open housing portion 100. For example, the lower cover 500 may be configured to be inserted and engaged with the inner side of the lower end of the housing portion 100.

[0089] Figures 1 to 4 The content container 1000 shown in [Figure number] is exemplary, and various configurations may be applied according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0090] Figure 5 It is a diagram for explaining the operation of the content container according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0091] First, referring to Figure 5 (a) of [Figure number], before the user applies a rotational force to the content container 1000, the first gear portion 330 of the lifting portion 300 is supported by the elastic portion 331 so that the first engaging protrusion 332 maintains a fully engaged state between the second engaging protrusions 343 of the second gear portion 340.

[0092] When the user holds the lifting guide tube 210 and the housing portion 100 and applies a rotational force to the housing portion 100, the housing portion 100 rotates in one direction. Therefore, as shown in Figure 5 (b) of [Figure number], the driving portion 320 and the first gear portion 330 may also rotate synchronously in the same direction as the housing portion 100. At this time, the second gear portion 340 and the content holding portion 310 are connected to the lifting guide portion 200 and maintain a non-rotating and fixed state.

[0093] As the first gear portion 330 rotates, the inclined surface of the second engaging protrusion 343 presses down on the first engaging protrusion 332, causing the elastic portion 331 to elastically deform (i.e., elastically compress) so that the first engaging protrusion 332 can engage with the next adjacent second engaging protrusion 343. By engaging the first engaging protrusion 332 with different second engaging protrusions 343 in this way, a clicking sensation (rotational load and specific sound) according to the rotation of the housing portion 100 can be provided to the user.

[0094] At this time, during the compression and restoration of the elastic part 331, the upper support body 331-1 of the elastic part 331 is supported by the vertical guide protrusion 331-11, and at the same time, the horizontal support body 331-4 can prevent the deformation part 331-3 from being distorted.

[0095] If the driving part 320 continues to rotate relative to the content holding part 310, the content holding part 310 and the content rise, and the content can be exposed at the outlet of the lifting guide tube 210.

[0096] In addition, if the housing part 100 is rotated in the opposite direction, the content holding part 310 and the content descend. Through a similar operation method, the first engaging protrusion 332 engages with different second engaging protrusions 343 in the opposite direction in sequence, thereby providing a rotational load and a specific sound. At this time, by setting the inclination angles of the inclined surfaces on both sides of the first engaging protrusion 332 and the second engaging protrusion 343 differently, a rotational load different from that when the housing part 100 is rotated in the said one direction can be provided when the housing part 100 is rotated in the opposite direction.

[0097] Figure 5 The operation of the content container 1000 shown is exemplary, and various configurations can be applied according to the embodiments of the present invention.

Although specific terms are used herein, this is only for the purpose of explaining the present invention and is not used to limit the meaning or the scope of the present invention described in the claims. Therefore, those skilled in the art should understand that various deformations and equivalent other embodiments are possible.
