Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a content container. BACKGROUND
[0002] Generally, people have a desire to beautify themselves through makeup. Thus, people feel satisfied by making various ways of makeup to lips, nails, hair, and the like including skin.
[0003] As for the lips, widely used makeup methods have a method of highlighting the lips on the face or a method of creating smooth and tight lips by melting the cuticle of the lips, at which time people make makeup to the lips using lip film, lipstick, lip gloss, lip balm, lip color, and the like.
[0004] The lip film can be made in various forms, and as an example, a lip film made in a container type is used. The lip film of the container type has a structure in which, when a knob is rotated, a piston is raised and a cosmetic accommodated in the inside is sprayed.
[0005] Such a lip film of the container type can be used in a manner that the sprayed portion is attached to the lips, thereby directly transferring the cosmetic to the lips, or the sprayed cosmetic is transferred to the hands or other tools and then to the lips.
[0006] However, in order to rotate the knob and raise the piston, and the like, the lip film made in the container type is configured to have a relatively complex structure, and thus there is a risk of leakage.
[0007] In addition, depending on the viscosity or hardness of the dosage form, and the like, there is a possibility that the risk of leakage in the lip film of the container type increases. As an example, the risk of leakage in the lip film of an oil type, an oil dispersion type, an oil-in-water type, a water-in-oil type, an oil wax type, and the like is relatively high. Thus, it is necessary to adjust the viscosity or hardness of the lip film or the like to adjust the leakage. In addition, there is a necessity to improve the feeling of operation of the knob or the like. SUMMARY

[0063] and, Figure 16 is Figure 4 is an enlarged view of 'A' portion in FIG. 1, Figure 17 is Figure 4 is an enlarged view of 'B' portion in FIG. 1, Figure 18 is Figure 4 is an enlarged view of 'C' portion in FIG. 1, Figure 19 isFigure 4 An enlarged view of the middle 'D' portion.
[0064] Referring to Figures 1 to 19 The content container 1 according to an embodiment of the present application is composed of a plurality of structures, and is manufactured by assembling the plurality of structures, and adopts an assembly structure and a sealing structure, etc. that can prevent leakage of the content to the outside from the root cause after the manufacturing.
[0065] The content container 1 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a cover portion 10, a storage portion 20, an ejection portion 30, an operation portion 40, a shaft portion 50, and a pressurizing portion 60. Hereinafter, the content container 1 according to the embodiment will be described as an example of a cylindrical shape, but it is needless to say that various shapes such as a polygonal shape can be implemented.
[0066] The cover portion 10 is coupled to the upper side of the ejection port 31, and thus can seal the upper portion of the storage portion 20. The cover portion 10 can be provided with a cap protrusion 11. The cap protrusion 11 is inserted into the ejection port 31 provided at the upper portion of the ejection portion 30, and thus can seal the storage portion 20 in which the content is accommodated.
[0067] The cover portion 10 is formed in a cylindrical shape in which the lower portion is open and the upper portion is sealed, and the lower surface of the upper portion is provided with the cap protrusion 11 that seals the ejection port 31 of the ejection portion 30 in a manner of protruding toward the lower side. At this time, as shown in FIG. 1, the cap protrusion 11 can be partially inserted into the ejection port 31. That is, the cap protrusion 11 can have a relatively small height with respect to the depth of the ejection port 31. Figure 19
[0068] Also, the cap protrusion 11 can be formed in a hollow shape. The outer periphery of the cap protrusion 11 is engaged with the inner periphery of the ejection port 31, and thus can prevent leakage of the content, and for this reason, the cap protrusion 11 has a size that is completely fitted to the ejection port 31. In this case, if the cap protrusion 11 has a shape in which the inside is filled, the cap protrusion 11 increases the internal pressure of the storage portion 20 when the cover portion 10 is coupled to the ejection portion 30.
[0069] In this state, if the user separates the cover portion 10 thereafter, the content can be leaked due to the residual pressure. Therefore, the cap protrusion 11 according to the embodiment has a height that is smaller than the depth of the ejection port 31, and thus can minimize the increase in the internal pressure of the storage portion 20. Also, the cap protrusion 11 has a hollow shape, and thus even if the cap protrusion 11 is inserted into the ejection port 31, the increase in the internal pressure of the storage portion 20 can be released by the internal space of the cap protrusion 11.
[0070] The inner circumferential surface of the cover portion 10 can be formed with a snap protrusion 12. The snap protrusion 12 can be used to couple the cover portion 10 to the auxiliary coupling portion 26 described later. The snap protrusion 12 can be formed in plurality, and can be assembled with the outer side protrusion 261 formed at the upper edge of the auxiliary coupling portion 26. The plurality of snap protrusions 12 can be arranged radially, and the outer side protrusion 261 can be formed in a ring shape so as not to limit the direction in which the cover portion 10 is coupled to the auxiliary coupling portion 26.
[0071] Needless to say, it can also be contrary to this, and the snap protrusion can be provided at the auxiliary coupling portion 26, and the inner side protrusion engaging with the snap protrusion 12 can be formed at the cover portion 10. In addition to this, various coupling structures can be employed.
[0072] The storage portion 20 accommodates contents. The storage portion 20 can be shaped such that the upper portion is open and the lower portion is formed with a hole (not shown) for inserting the shaft portion 50. The upper portion of the storage portion 20 can be coupled to the ejection portion 30 and the cover portion 10.
[0073] The ejection portion 30 and the storage portion 20 can be coupled in a manner that limits relative rotation. That is, the ejection portion 30 and the storage portion 20 are coupled so as not to rotate with respect to each other, and thus can rotate as one. In contrast, the operation portion 40 is provided so as to be relatively rotatable with respect to the storage portion 20. Therefore, if the user grasps the ejection portion 30 and rotates the operation portion 40, relative rotation of the operation portion 40 with respect to the storage portion 20 can be achieved. Needless to say, the user can also grasp the operation portion 40 and rotate the ejection portion 30, and in this case, the relative rotation of the ejection portion 30 described above can be achieved.
[0074] The storage portion 20 can include a sawtooth protrusion 21, a rim 22, a support protrusion 23, an operation sense generation portion 24, a concave-convex portion 25, and an auxiliary coupling portion 26. Each of the components will be described in detail below.
[0075] In the storage portion 20, the rim 22 can be provided in a manner protruding from the outside of the side wall. The rim 22 can have a ring shape. The storage portion 20 and the ejection portion 30 can be coupled by the rim 22 of the storage portion 20 engaging with the ring-shaped groove 32 of the ejection portion 30.
[0076] The ejection portion 30 can have the ring-shaped groove 32 at a position corresponding to the rim 22 when coupled to the storage portion 20. As shown, Figure 16 The ring-shaped groove 32 engages with the rim 22, and thus the ejection portion 30 can be maintained in coupling with the storage portion 20.
[0077] Also, the storage portion 20 and the ejection portion 30 can be coupled by engagement of the sawtooth protrusions 21 of the storage portion 20 with the fixing protrusions 33 of the ejection portion 30. The coupling of the frame 22 with the annular groove 32 serves to prevent the ejection portion 30 from being detached from the storage portion 20, without restricting the relative rotation of the ejection portion 30 with respect to the storage portion 20. Note that the coupling of the sawtooth protrusions 21 with the fixing protrusions 33 can be provided in order to restrict the relative rotation of the ejection portion 30 with respect to the storage portion 20.
[0078] The sawtooth protrusions 21 can be formed along the circumferential direction outside the side wall of the storage portion 20. The sawtooth protrusions 21 can have a shape in which unit sawteeth of a predetermined height and perpendicularity are arranged at a certain interval along the periphery of the side wall of the storage portion 20. The unit sawteeth can be arranged at an interval smaller than the size of each unit sawtooth or an interval similar to the size of the unit sawtooth, and the fixing protrusions 33 can be formed in the ejection portion 30 in correspondence with the interval between the plurality of unit sawteeth.
[0079] Also, five to ten (preferably, eight or nine) unit sawteeth can be provided at a certain interval between adjacent two concave-convex portions 25. In this case, the sawtooth protrusions 21 are arranged apart from the concave-convex portions 25 by a first interval along the circumferential direction of the storage portion 20, and the first interval can be set to be greater than the certain interval of the arrangement of the plurality of unit sawteeth.
[0080] The reason why the sawtooth protrusions 21 are arranged with five or more unit sawteeth is that the rigidity can be strengthened and improved in structure compared to the case where the sawtooth protrusions 21 are arranged apart. That is, according to the present embodiment, the interval of the unit sawteeth is formed to be small in the sawtooth protrusions 21, so that the coupling force of the storage portion 20 and the ejection portion 30 can be sufficiently ensured, and the stable integrated rotation of the ejection portion 30 and the storage portion 20 can be secured.
[0081] The sawtooth protrusions 21 can be provided at the lower side of the frame 22 outside the side wall of the storage portion 20. In this case, the lower end of the ejection portion 30 passes through the sawtooth protrusions 21 after passing through the frame 22 when coupled to the storage portion 20.
[0082] In order to prevent the fixing protrusions 33 engaged with the sawtooth protrusions 21 in the ejection portion 30 from being caught in the frame 22 of the storage portion 20, the ejection portion 30 can be formed such that the inner diameter of the lower side portion provided with the fixing protrusions 33 is relatively larger than the inner diameter of the upper side portion provided with the annular groove 32.
[0083] Therefore, when the ejection portion 30 is coupled to the storage portion 20, the fixing protrusions 33 provided at the lower side portion of the ejection portion 30 can engage with the sawtooth protrusions 21 of the storage portion 20 after passing through the frame 22 without being interfered by the frame 22 of the storage portion 20.
[0084] The plurality of fixing protrusions 33 provided in the ejection portion 30 can be arranged along the inner circumferential surface of the ejection portion 30. That is, corresponding to the sawtooth protrusions 21 of the storage portion 20, the fixing protrusions 33 of the ejection portion 30 can be formed in a sawtooth shape.
[0085] The storage portion 20 can further include a support protrusion 23. As shown, Figure 18 The support protrusion 23 can be used to place the auxiliary coupling portion 26. As a reference, the auxiliary coupling portion 26 can also be explained as a part of the storage portion 20, and for the convenience of description, the part of the storage portion 20 other than the auxiliary coupling portion 26 can be referred to as a storage main body 20a.
[0086] The support protrusion 23 can be formed in a bar shape parallel to the outer circumferential surface at the lower portion of the storage main body 20a. The support protrusion 23 can be provided in a plurality, capable of supporting the lower end edge of the auxiliary coupling portion 26. That is, the support protrusion 23 can limit the downward movement of the auxiliary coupling portion 26 with respect to the storage main body 20a.
[0087] The lower portion of the storage portion 20 can be provided with an operation feeling generating portion 24. The operation feeling generating portion 24 is provided at the lower end in the storage portion 20, and when the operation portion 40 is relatively rotated, can cooperate with the concave-convex protrusion 44 provided in the operation portion 40 to impart an operation feeling related to the rotation angle and the lifting degree of the above-mentioned pressing portion 60. The above-mentioned operation feeling generating portion 24 can cooperate with the concave-convex protrusion 44 to provide the user with a stimulation such as an auditory stimulation and a tactile stimulation. As an example, the above-mentioned operation feeling generating portion 24 and the above-mentioned concave-convex protrusion 44, when the operation portion 40 is rotated, can generate an operation feeling when the operation feeling generating portion 24 passes the concave-convex protrusion 44, or can generate a touch feeling that the operation feeling generating portion 24 is hooked on the concave-convex protrusion 44. Therefore, the user can feel the rotation degree of the operation portion 40, the lifting degree of the pressing portion 60, etc. based on the click noise or the click feeling, and can feel the operation feeling when using. In addition, by the engagement of the operation feeling generating portion 24 and the concave-convex protrusion 44, the user can adjust the rotation angle of the operation portion 40 to a certain angle, can adjust the lifting degree of the pressing portion 60, and can control the ejection amount of the content.
[0088] The operation feeling generating portion 24 can be provided with at least one or more along the lower edge of the storage portion 20. The operation feeling generating portion 24 of the storage portion 20 can be provided in a plurality in a radial shape, and can be configured in a manner including an arm 241 and a hooking protrusion 242, etc. The arm 241 can extend in a cantilever shape from the lower end of the storage portion 20. As an example, the arm 241 can extend in a direction capable of having an elastic function (as an example, a direction including a horizontal component). That is, the arm 241 can be connected to the lower end of the storage portion 20 in a character shape. The arm 241 can be connected to the lower end of the storage portion 20 in a character shape.
[0089] The arm 241 can have elasticity. That is, the arm 241 is bent by an external force, and when the external force disappears, the arm 241 can return to a straight shape again by elastic force. One end of the arm 241 is fixed to the lower end of the storage portion 20, and when the hooking protrusion 242 formed at the other end is applied with an external force, the arm 241 is bent upward and deformed, and when the external force applied to the hooking protrusion 242 disappears, the arm 241 can return to the original shape.
[0090] The storage portion 20 can have an introduction end 202 recessed upward and accommodating at least a portion of the arm 241 in a portion where the operation sensation generating portion 24 is located in the lower end portion. The bottom portion in the lower end of the storage portion 20 can have a shape cut partially and penetrated, so that the introduction end 202 can be formed. Note that even if the bottom of the storage portion 20 is penetrated to form the introduction end 202, since the outer periphery of the pressurizing portion 60 and the inner side wall of the storage portion 20 are sealed from each other, the contents stored in the upper portion of the pressurizing portion 60 are not leaked through the introduction end 202.
[0091] The introduction end 202 is formed to accommodate the free end portion of the arm 241 in which the hooking protrusion 242 is provided, and can form a margin space in which the arm 241 is deformed upward. When the operation sensation generating portion 24 passes over the convexo-concave protrusion 44 while the storage portion 20 is rotated, the arm 241 of the operation sensation generating portion 24 can be deformed upward toward the inside of the introduction end 202.
[0092] The hooking protrusion 242 can protrude downward from the arm 241. The hooking protrusion 242 can be configured to protrude downward from the tip end of the arm 241 and have a shape including an inclined surface and a vertical surface. The hooking protrusion 242 can have an inclined surface in a curved surface shape along the rotation direction of the operation sensation generating portion 24 and a vertical surface formed at a point where the inclined surface ends. The inclined surface and the vertical surface of the hooking protrusion 242 can cooperate with the plurality of convexo-concave protrusions 44 provided in the operation portion 40 to generate an operation sensation.
[0093] The storage portion 20 is provided with a convexo-concave portion 25. The convexo-concave portion 25 is formed at an inner circumferential surface of the storage portion 20 at a certain interval, and suppresses the rotation of the pressurizing portion 60 provided inside the storage portion 20, so that the rising or lowering of the pressurizing portion 60 can be achieved.
[0094] The side wall of the storage portion 20 is recessed inward in the height direction continuously, so that the convexo-concave portion 25 can be formed. That is, as the side wall is recessed inward, the convexo-concave portion 25 can have a shape protruding at an inner surface of the side wall and recessed at an outer surface of the side wall.
[0095] The concave-convex portion 25 can have a curved surface shape that protrudes toward the inside. At this time, the pressing portion 60 can have a curved surface shape of a concave groove 61 that engages with the concave-convex portion 25 on the outside. In order to suppress the rotation of the pressing portion 60, the storage portion 20 needs to engage with the pressing portion 60 through the concave-convex structure, but in the present embodiment, the concave-convex structure is formed in a curved surface shape, thereby being able to minimize the leakage of the contents between the storage portion 20 and the pressing portion 60.
[0096] As Figure 15 As shown, the protruding surface of the concave-convex portion 25 can be configured to have an arc shape with an angle of 180 degrees or less (preferably, 150 degrees or less). That is, the curved surface of the concave-convex portion 25 is an arc shape smaller than a semicircle, can have a shape that protrudes relatively slowly, and both ends of the curved surface of the concave-convex portion 25 can be connected to the side wall of the storage portion 20 at an angle of 120 degrees or more. For reference, in order to help understanding, Figure 15 As shown, the protruding curved surface of the concave-convex portion 25 and the concave groove 610 of the pressing portion 60 appear to be separated, but in fact, they are in close contact to prevent the leakage of the contents.
[0097] The height of the concave-convex portion 25 can determine the lifting range of the pressing portion 60. The upper end of the concave-convex portion 25 can determine the point at which the pressing portion 60 is maximally lifted. The concave-convex portion 25 can have a height in which the upper end is located above the bezel 22. Note that the concave-convex portion 25 has a shape that is recessed on the outer surface of the side wall of the storage portion 20, so the upper end of the concave-convex portion 25 can be filled with the bezel 22 to prevent the contents from leaking along the concave-convex portion 25. That is, the bezel 22 can be configured to fill the shape of the upper portion of the concave-convex portion 25 on the outside of the side wall.
[0098] Also, in a similar manner, the concave-convex portion 25 can be formed with a protruding end 251. The protruding end 251 is provided on the outside of the side wall, can have a shape that cuts off the concave-convex portion 25 in the height direction. Even if the contents leak into the lower portion of the portion in which the concave-convex portion 25 is recessed in the outer surface of the side wall, the contents are blocked by the protruding end 251, and can be blocked from leaking upward.
[0099] As an example, if the contents leak from between the storage portion 20 and the operation portion 40, the contents can flow into the lower portion from the recessed curved surface of the concave-convex portion 25 provided on the side surface of the storage portion 20. Specifically, when the shaft portion 50 rotates, due to the rotational force of the stud 52, the phase of the contents changes, and the contents whose fluidity is enhanced can flow out along the gap between the stud 52 and the pressing portion 60. At this time, the leaked contents rise along the outer circumferential surface of the storage portion 20, and thus, the leakage can occur.
[0100] At this time, if the contents leak upward along the concave surface of the concave-convex portion 25, there is a problem that the contents leak to the outside through the gap between the spout portion 30 and the storage portion 20. However, according to the present embodiment, in the concave surface of the concave-convex portion 25, the protruding end 251 can be filled in at least one or more points in the up-and-down direction. The protruding end 251 cuts off the concave surface of the concave-convex portion 25, thereby being able to block the contents from leaking along the concave surface of the concave-convex portion 25.
[0101] The protruding end 251 can be formed in a shape in which the outer surface is continuous with the side surface of the storage portion 20, but can also be formed to protrude more than the side surface of the storage portion 20, similarly to the frame 22.
[0102] In order to secure the lifting range of the pressurizing portion 60, the concave-convex portion 25 is formed to have a sufficient height in the side wall of the storage portion 20, whereby the sawtooth protrusion 21 of the storage portion 20 can be disposed in the same position as at least a portion of the concave-convex portion 25 in the height direction. At this time, the sawtooth protrusion 21 can be disposed between a plurality of the concave-convex portions 25.
[0103] The auxiliary coupling portion 26 is provided outside the storage main body 20a and can be configured to be rotatable with respect to the storage main body 20a. The auxiliary coupling portion 26 can include an outside protrusion 261, a first coupling groove 262, a first coupling protrusion 263, and an inside protrusion 264.
[0104] The outside protrusion 261 can be provided at the upper edge of the auxiliary coupling portion 26. The outside protrusion 261 can be assembled with the plurality of the snap protrusions 12 provided in the cover portion 10. Note that even if the outside protrusion 261 of the auxiliary coupling portion 26 is coupled with the snap protrusion 12 of the cover portion 10, the relative rotation of the cover portion 10 with the auxiliary coupling portion 26 as a reference can be allowed.
[0105] The first coupling groove 262 can be configured to be annularly recessed in the outer circumferential surface of the auxiliary coupling portion 26. As Figure 17 illustrated, the first coupling groove 262 can be assembled with the second coupling protrusion 46 of the operation portion 40. At least the first coupling groove 262 among the first coupling groove 262 and the second coupling protrusion 46 can be configured to be annular.
[0106] The first coupling protrusion 263 is configured to protrude from the outer circumferential surface of the auxiliary coupling portion 26 and at least a portion thereof can be disposed in overlap with the first coupling groove 262. The first coupling protrusion 263 can be formed in a plurality and can be assembled with the plurality of the second coupling grooves 47 provided in the operation portion 40.
[0107] The second coupling groove 47 in the operation part 40 can be configured in a shape that cuts off the second coupling protrusion 46, and can limit the angle at which the first coupling protrusion 263 engages with the second coupling groove 47. That is, in a case where the auxiliary coupling part 26 and the operation part 40 are coupled to each other by the first coupling protrusion 263 and the second coupling groove 47, the relative rotation of the operation part 40 with respect to the auxiliary coupling part 26 is limited. Therefore, if the user rotates the operation part 40, the auxiliary coupling part 26 also rotates. Note that, as described above, the cover part 10 can be relatively rotated with respect to the auxiliary coupling part 26.
[0108] The inner protrusion 264 can be formed so as to protrude from the inner circumferential surface of the auxiliary coupling part 26 in a manner that abuts against the outer circumferential surface of the storage body 20a. The inner protrusion 264 is configured in a ring shape, and can be used to achieve sealing between the auxiliary coupling part 26 and the storage body 20a.
[0109] As Figure 18 As shown, when the inner protrusion 264 of the auxiliary coupling part 26 abuts against the outer circumferential surface of the storage body 20a, leakage of the contents to the outside through the space between the inner circumferential surface of the auxiliary coupling part 26 and the outer circumferential surface of the storage body 20a can be prevented.
[0110] In particular, in the storage body 20a, the side wall is provided with the concave-convex part 25, one point in the height direction of the curved surface portion that is recessed in the concave-convex part 25 is provided with the protruding end 251, and the inner protrusion 264 of the auxiliary coupling part 26 is provided at the same height as the protruding end 251, so as to abut against the protruding end 251. Thus, the protruding end 251 can effectively prevent leakage between the storage body 20a and the auxiliary coupling part 26.
[0111] With the auxiliary coupling part 26 as a reference, the cover part 10 can be coupled to the upper portion, and the operation part 40 can be coupled to the lower portion. At this time, once the outer protrusion 261 of the auxiliary coupling part 26 and the buckle protrusion 12 of the cover part 10 engage, the auxiliary coupling part 26 and the cover part 10 are coupled in a relatively rotatable manner, and conversely, once the first coupling protrusion 263 of the auxiliary coupling part 26 and the second coupling groove 47 of the operation part 40 engage, the auxiliary coupling part 26 and the operation part 40 can be coupled in a relatively non-rotatable manner. Moreover, the auxiliary coupling part 26 is configured so as to be relatively rotatable with respect to the storage body 20a.
[0112] When the user holds the cap 10 with a strong force on the side of the compression and rotates the operation portion 40, if the auxiliary coupling portion 26 relatively rotates with respect to the operation portion 40, there is a risk of ejecting the contents. However, according to the present embodiment, the operation portion 40 and the auxiliary coupling portion 26 are configured to integrally rotate, so that in a state where the user presses the side of the cap 10 or the like to the extent of suppressing the rotation of the auxiliary coupling portion 26, the rotation of the operation portion 40 which is integrated with the auxiliary coupling portion 26 is suppressed, so that the risk of ejecting the contents can be eliminated.
[0113] In the present embodiment, the operation portion 40, the shaft portion 50, and the auxiliary coupling portion 26 which are integrated to rotate can be defined as a first group, and the ejection portion 30, the storage main body 20a, and the compression portion 60 which are integrated to rotate can be defined as a second group. The first group and the second group can relatively rotate, and in the present embodiment, there can be a case where the second group rotates in a state where the first group is stationary, or a case where the first group rotates in a state where the second group is stationary, and the like.
[0114] As an example, the case where the first group is stationary and the second group rotates can be a state where the compression portion 60 or the like rotates when the user holds the operation portion 40 and rotates the ejection portion 30. Conversely, the case where the second group is stationary and the first group rotates can be a state where the shaft portion 50 or the like rotates when the user holds the ejection portion 30 and rotates the operation portion 40.
[0115] The ejection portion 30 can be configured in a shape in which the lower portion is open and the upper portion covers the open upper portion of the storage portion 20. The ejection portion 30 can be provided with an ejection port 31 which ejects the contents, and can be assembled so as to be fixed to the upper outer peripheral surface of the storage portion 20.
[0116] The ejection portion 30 is coupled to the storage portion 20 in a manner in which relative rotation is restricted around the upper end outer periphery of the storage portion 20. The ejection portion 30 includes the ejection port 31, an annular groove 32, a fixing protrusion 33, and a sealing rib 34. The ejection port 31 can be provided in the upper portion so as to eject the contents accommodated in the storage portion 20 to the outside. The ejection port 31 can be sealed when the cap 10 is inserted into the cover protrusion 11.
[0117] The annular groove 32 can be provided in the inner peripheral surface of the ejection portion 30 in a ring shape, and can be assembled with the frame 22 which is provided in the outer peripheral surface of the storage portion 20 in a ring shape. Of course, it is also possible to form the annular groove 32 in the outer peripheral surface of the storage portion 20 and form the frame 22 in the inner peripheral surface of the ejection portion 30.
[0118] The annular groove 32 of the ejection portion 30 and the frame 22 of the storage portion 20 are used to maintain a state in which they are coupled to each other, and are not used to restrict relative rotation. Note that the relative rotation of the ejection portion 30 with respect to the storage portion 20 is restricted, and this restriction is achieved by the fixing protrusion 33 described later.
[0119] The fixing protrusion 33 engages with the sawtooth protrusion 21 of the storage portion 20, thereby being able to restrict the relative rotation of the ejection portion 30 with respect to the storage portion 20. The sawtooth protrusion 21 of the storage portion 20 has a shape in which a plurality of unit sawteeth are arranged at a certain interval, and the fixing protrusion 33 can be inserted into the interval between the adjacent plurality of unit sawteeth. Therefore, by the fixing protrusion 33 of the ejection portion 30 engaging with the sawtooth protrusion 21 of the storage portion 20, the relative rotation of the ejection portion 30 with respect to the storage portion 20 is restricted.
[0120] Also, the fixing protrusion 33 in the ejection portion 30 can be provided in plurality, and the fixing protrusion 33 can also be arranged in a sawtooth shape. As illustrated, the fixing protrusion 33 is arranged at a certain interval on the entire inner circumferential surface of the ejection portion 30. At this time, the interval of the fixing protrusion 33 can correspond to the size of the unit sawteeth.
[0121] As Figure 16 As illustrated, the ejection portion 30 can be formed in a shape in which the lower side portion provided with the fixing protrusion 33 has a relatively larger inner diameter than the upper side portion provided with the annular groove 32. As described above, this is to avoid the fixing protrusion 33 of the ejection portion 30 being interfered with the frame 22 of the storage portion 20 engaging with the annular groove 32 of the ejection portion 30.
[0122] The sealing rib 34 can be configured to protrude downward from the lower surface of the upper wall of the ejection portion 30 and engage with the inner circumferential surface of the upper end of the storage portion 20. The outer circumferential surface of the upper end of the storage portion 20 is covered by the side wall of the ejection portion 30, and the inner circumferential surface is in contact with the sealing rib 34, so that double sealing between the storage portion 20 and the ejection portion 30 can be achieved.
[0123] The sealing rib 34 is configured in a ring shape, and can be in close contact with the entire inner circumferential surface of the upper end of the storage portion 20. Also, the outer circumferential surface of the sealing rib 34 can be provided with a sealing protrusion 341 in contact with the inner circumferential surface of the upper end of the storage portion 20. The sealing protrusion 341 blocks the interval between the sealing rib 34 and the upper end of the storage portion 20, thereby being able to block the leakage of the contents.
[0124] In order to strengthen the sealing coupling between the ejection portion 30 and the storage portion 20, as Figure 16 As illustrated, the upper end of the side wall of the storage portion 20 can be formed with a thickness reduction portion 201. The thickness reduction portion 201 is formed at the uppermost end of the side wall of the storage portion 20, and the frame 22 provided on the side wall of the storage portion 20 can be provided below the thickness reduction portion 201.
[0125] The thickness reduction portion 201 is formed at the uppermost end of the sidewall of the storage portion 20, and can have a shape in which the thickness in the inner-outer direction is relatively small on the upper side compared to the lower side. As an example, the thickness reduction portion 201 of the storage portion 20 has a shape in which the thickness gradually decreases as it approaches the upper side, and the inner side surface of the ejection portion 30 can have a shape corresponding thereto. That is, the portion of the sidewall of the ejection portion 30 that faces the thickness reduction portion 201 of the storage portion 20 can have a shape in which the thickness in the inner-outer direction gradually increases as it approaches the upper side.
[0126] The operation portion 40 has a shape in which the upper portion is open and the lower portion is sealed, and can be provided to cover the lower side of the storage portion 20. Also, the operation portion 40 is assembled to the lower side of the storage portion 20 in a rotatable manner. Through the rotational operation of the operation portion 40, the pressurization portion 60 is raised or lowered, so the operation portion 40 can control the ejection of the contents.
[0127] In order to assemble the shaft portion 50, the operation portion 40 can include a central protrusion 41, a peripheral protrusion 42, and a ring-shaped protrusion 43, and in order to place the storage portion 20, the operation portion 40 can include a ring-shaped protrusion 43, a concavo-convex protrusion 44, and a placement protrusion 45. Also, in order to be coupled with the auxiliary coupling portion 26, the operation portion 40 can include a second coupling protrusion 46 and a second coupling groove 47.
[0128] The central protrusion 41 is provided at the center of the inner side bottom surface of the operation portion 40, and can be engaged with the shaft portion 50. The central protrusion 41 protrudes upward from the bottom surface of the operation portion 40, and the central protrusion 41 of the operation portion 40 can be inserted into the insertion slot 511 of the shaft portion 50. Thereby, the centers of the operation portion 40 and the shaft portion 50 can be aligned.
[0129] The peripheral protrusion 42 is provided at the periphery of the central protrusion 41. The peripheral protrusion 42 can be provided in a plurality of numbers in a radial manner at the periphery of the central protrusion 41. The peripheral protrusion 42 can be engaged with the insertion slot 511 provided in the shaft portion 50. Corresponding to the plurality of peripheral protrusions 42 provided in the operation portion 40, the shaft portion 50 is also provided with a plurality of insertion slots 511, so that when the peripheral protrusion 42 is engaged with the insertion slot 511, the relative rotation of the shaft portion 50 with respect to the operation portion 40 can be restricted.
[0130] The ring-shaped protrusion 43 is provided at the periphery of the central protrusion 41, and can be formed to connect the plurality of peripheral protrusions 42. The ring-shaped protrusion 43 is formed in a shape that connects the outer sides of the peripheral protrusions 42, and the fixing plate 51 of the shaft portion 50 is placed at the inner side thereof. Thereby, the ring-shaped protrusion 43 can ensure that the shaft portion 50 stably rotates without shaking.
[0131] Further, the annular protrusion 43 can stably guide the relative rotation of the storage portion 20 with respect to the operation portion 40. Specifically, at least a portion of the operation-sensation-generating portion 24, i.e., the hooking protrusion 242, provided in the storage portion 20 can face the outer side of the annular protrusion 43 in the inner-outer direction. Thus, the storage portion 20 rotates in a state in which the operation-sensation-generating portion 24 is guided along the outer circumferential surface of the annular protrusion 43, so the annular protrusion 43 can suppress the occurrence of positional deviation or the like when the storage portion 20 rotates.
[0132] That is, the annular protrusion 43 can align the shaft portion 50 with the center of the operation portion 40 by the inner side end, and can align the storage portion 20 with the center of the operation portion 40 by the outer side end. Thus, the centers of the storage portion 20, the operation portion 40, and the shaft portion 50 are aligned with each other, and coaxiality can be ensured.
[0133] The concavo-convex protrusion 44 can be provided at the periphery of the peripheral protrusion 42. In particular, the concavo-convex protrusion 44 is provided at the periphery of the annular protrusion 43, and cooperates with the operation-sensation-generating portion 24 provided in the storage portion 20 to impart an operation sensation when the operation portion 40 and the storage portion 20 relatively rotate. The above-described operation sensation can be a sound or a click sensation generated when the above-described operation-sensation-generating portion 24 and the above-described concavo-convex protrusion 44 interact with each other. The above-described click sensation can be a feeling that a user can feel by operating the operation portion 40 or the storage portion 20 or the like. In detail, the above-described click sensation can be a vibration feeling transmitted to the user or a feeling that the resistance becomes small when the operation portion 40 is rotated, or the like.
[0134] The concavo-convex protrusion 44 can be provided in a plurality of numbers in a radial manner at the periphery of the annular protrusion 43. In order to impart a continuous operation sensation when the operation portion 40 is rotated, the plurality of concavo-convex protrusions 44 can be formed in a relatively large number than the peripheral protrusion 42, and can be arranged in a zigzag manner.
[0135] In addition, the concavo-convex protrusions 44 can be regularly arranged at the periphery of the annular protrusion 43. That is, the above-described concavo-convex protrusions 44 can be arranged at the same interval or the same angle.
[0136] At this time, when the above-described operation portion 40 is rotated between the adjacent concavo-convex protrusions 44, the distance by which the above-described pressurizing portion 60 moves up and down is constant, and the pitch of the stud 52 is also constant, so the amount of the content ejected through the above-described operation portion 40 can be kept constant.
[0137] According to the content container of one embodiment of the present application, by adjusting the pitch of the stud 52 and the arrangement angle of the concavo-convex protrusion 44, the ejection amount of the content can be adjusted. According to the content container of one embodiment of the present application, by adjusting the arrangement angle of the above-described concavo-convex protrusion 44, the ejection amount of the content when one click occurs in the above-described concavo-convex protrusion 44 can be adjusted. One click occurring in the above-described concavo-convex protrusion 44 can mean that the above-described concavo-convex protrusion 44 moves to the adjacent concavo-convex protrusion 44.
[0138] As an example, according to the content container of an embodiment of the present application, the pitch of the stud 52 is 0.1 to 5 mm, and the concave-convex protrusions 44 can be arranged at a certain angle apart from each other around the periphery of the annular protrusion 43. In detail, the concave-convex protrusions 44 can be arranged at 0 to 30 degrees apart from each other. When the concave-convex protrusions 44 move toward the adjacent concave-convex protrusions 44, 0.01 to 0.1 mL of the content can be ejected. That is, when the concave-convex protrusions 44 click once, 0.01 to 0.1 mL of the content can be ejected.
[0139] The concave-convex protrusions 44 can have various shapes of the surface that comes into contact with the operation-sense generating portion 24. The concave-convex protrusions 44 can include an inclined surface having a curved surface shape in the relative rotation direction of the storage portion 20 with the operation portion 40 as a reference, and a vertical surface formed at a point where the inclined surface ends. The inclined surface and the vertical surface of the plurality of concave-convex protrusions 44 can be formed to correspond to the inclined surface and the vertical surface of the hook protrusion 242 of the storage portion 20.
[0140] The storage portion 20 is provided with the operation-sense generating portion 24 having an inclined surface having a curved surface shape in the rotation direction and a vertical surface, and the operation portion 40 is provided with the plurality of concave-convex protrusions 44 having an inclined surface having a curved surface shape in the rotation direction and a vertical surface. Therefore, when the operation portion 40 is relatively rotated with the storage portion 20 as a reference, the inclined surface of the concave-convex protrusions 44 rotates along the inclined surface of the operation-sense generating portion 24, and the vertical surface of the concave-convex protrusions 44 clicks when it passes the vertical surface of the operation-sense generating portion 24. Also, when the vertical surface of the concave-convex protrusions 44 passes the vertical surface of the operation-sense generating portion 24, the two vertical surfaces face each other, and the reverse rotation of the operation portion 40 can be prevented.
[0141] The center protrusion 41, the periphery protrusion 42, and the concave-convex protrusion 44 are sequentially formed in a direction away from the center of the inner bottom surface of the operation portion 40, and can be provided at positions overlapping each other in the height direction. According to the present embodiment, by the arrangement of these plurality of protrusions, the minimization of the height occupied by the structure for achieving the function of placing the shaft portion 50 in the operation portion 40, imparting an operation sense to the relative rotation of the storage portion 20, and the like can be achieved. Also, according to the present embodiment, the space for storing the content in the overall height of the content container 1 is maximized, and thus the satisfaction of the user can be improved.
[0142] According to the present embodiment, in order to place the shaft portion 50 in the operation portion 40, the periphery protrusion 42 and the insertion groove 511 are provided, and in order to generate a click when the operation portion 40 is relatively rotated with respect to the storage portion 20, the concave-convex protrusion 44 and the operation-sense generating portion 24 are provided. At this time, when the periphery protrusion 42 and the insertion groove 511 are referred to as a first cooperative means, and the concave-convex protrusion 44 and the operation-sense generating portion 24 are referred to as a second cooperative means, the first cooperative means and the second cooperative means can be arranged between the lower end of the storage portion 20 and the bottom surface of the operation portion 40.
[0143] When the height required for setting the first cooperative means is A and the height required for setting the second cooperative means is B, if the first cooperative means and the second cooperative means are arranged at different heights, the portion of the operation section 40 located below the storage section 20 needs to have a height of A+B or more. In this case, the content container 1 certainly extends A+B in height below the storage section 20.
[0144] However, according to the present embodiment, the first cooperative means and the second cooperative means are arranged at the same height, thereby enabling the height of the portion of the operation section 40 located below the storage section 20 to be minimized to a height of A or B or less.
[0145] Therefore, according to the present embodiment, in the content container 1 having the stable rotation function of the shaft section 50 and the sound emitting function at the time of rotation of the operation section 40, the overall height of the content container 1 is prevented from being excessively large, while the storage volume of the content in the content container 1 is sufficiently ensured.
[0146] The placement protrusions 45 are provided in a plurality of numbers in a radial manner at the periphery of the concave-convex protrusions 44. The placement protrusions 45 can be formed in a number and position corresponding to those of the peripheral protrusions 42. Note that, while the peripheral protrusions 42 have a shape protruding upward from the bottom of the operation section 40, the placement protrusions 45 can have a shape protruding inward from the side wall of the operation section 40.
[0147] The lower end of the storage section 20 can be engaged with the inner sides of the plurality of placement protrusions 45, whereby the placement protrusions 45 can achieve the centering of the lower end of the storage section 20 with respect to the operation section 40. Also, the placement protrusions 45 interfere with the lower end of the storage section 20 in the inner-outer direction, whereby the side wall of the storage section 20 is separated from the inner side of the operation section 40, so the convenience of the rotation operation of the operation section 40 can be improved.
[0148] Also, by providing the placement protrusions 45, the structural strength of the operation section 40 can be improved, and the operation section 40 can be effectively prevented from being detached from the storage section 20 or the like.
[0149] The shaft section 50 is assembled to the inner bottom of the operation section 40. The shaft section 50 includes a fixing plate 51 and a stud 52. The fixing plate 51 is formed in a disc shape and can be placed on the inner bottom of the operation section 40. A plurality of insertion grooves 511 can be formed in a radial manner at the periphery of the fixing plate 51. The insertion grooves 511 of the fixing plate 51 can be formed in the same number and corresponding shape as the peripheral protrusions 42 of the operation section 40, whereby they can be engaged with each other.
[0150] The fixing plate 51 can be provided at the base end of the stud 52. The stud 52 can be provided at the center of the fixing plate 51. Also, when the fixing plate 51 is engaged with the peripheral protrusion 42 of the operation portion 40 at the insertion groove 511, the periphery of the fixing plate 51 can be positioned inside the annular protrusion 43 of the operation portion 40. Thus, the fixing plate 51 can be positioned at an appropriate position at the bottom of the operation portion 40.
[0151] The stud 52 has a shape extending upward from the center of the fixing plate 51, and can be formed with a thread (not shown). The thread of the stud 52 can be threadedly connected with the pressing portion 60, and when the stud 52 is rotated, the rotation of the pressing portion 60 can be inhibited, and the pressing portion 60 can be raised and lowered in the height direction of the stud 52.
[0152] The stud 52 can be engaged with the center protrusion 41 provided at the bottom surface inside of the operation portion 40. The stud 52 has an insertion port 521 at the base end for insertion of the center protrusion 41, and when the center protrusion 41 is inserted into the insertion port 521, the coaxiality of the shaft portion 50 and the operation portion 40 can be ensured.
[0153] The stud 52 can have a hollow shaft shape, and can have a shape in which the upper end is blocked to prevent entry of the contents and the lower end is opened to form the insertion port 521.
[0154] The engagement of the insertion port 521 of the stud 52 and the center protrusion 41 of the operation portion 40 serves to align the centers of the operation portion 40 and the shaft portion 50, and the engagement of the periphery of the fixing plate 51 and the annular protrusion 43 of the operation portion 40 also serves to align the centers of the operation portion 40 and the shaft portion 50. Note that the insertion groove 511 of the fixing plate 51 and the peripheral protrusion 42 of the operation portion 40 can serve to inhibit the relative rotation of the shaft portion 50 and the operation portion 40. Needless to say, the shapes of the insertion port 521 or the center protrusion 41, the annular protrusion 43, etc. can also be formed in a non-circular shape to ensure the integral rotation function of the operation portion 40 and the shaft portion 50.
[0155] The stud 52 can have a rising restriction portion (not shown) at the tip end for releasing the engagement with the pressing portion 60 to restrict the maximum rising position of the pressing portion 60. The rising restriction portion is formed in a shape without a thread, and can restrict the maximum rising position of the pressing portion 60 to a point apart from the ejection portion 30. Thus, according to the present embodiment, the upper surface of the pressing portion 60 does not directly contact the ejection portion 30, and thus the unnecessary leakage of the contents can be prevented.
[0156] The pressing portion 60 pushes the contents by the operation of the operation portion 40. The pressing portion 60 is engaged with the shaft portion 50, and is raised when the operation portion 40 is relatively rotated with respect to the storage portion 20, and thus can push the contents.
[0157] The operation portion 40 and the shaft portion 50 are integrally rotated, and the pressing portion 60 is formed so as not to be rotatable inside the storage portion 20. The operation portion 40 is relatively rotated with respect to the storage portion 20, and thus when the operation portion 40 is rotated, the pressing portion 60 is placed so as not to be rotated.
[0158] To this end, the pressing portion 60 can be formed with a groove 61 engaged with the concave-convex portion 25 of the storage portion 20. The side wall of the storage portion 20 is formed with the concave-convex portion 25, and the pressing portion 60 can have a concave curved surface-shaped groove 61 engaged with the convex curved surface of the concave-convex portion 25 on the periphery. The shape of the groove 61 can be formed similar to the shape explained in the concave-convex portion 25 described above.
[0159] When the shaft portion 50 is rotated by the operation portion 40, the groove 61 of the pressing portion 60 is engaged with the concave-convex portion 25 of the storage portion 20, and thus the rotation of the pressing portion 60 can be inhibited. In this case, the pressing portion 60 can be lifted along the stud 52 of the shaft portion 50.
[0160] The inner surface of the pressing portion 60 can be formed with a screw thread 62. The screw thread 62 of the pressing portion 60 can be engaged with the screw thread of the stud 52, and when the operation portion 40 is rotated so that the stud 52 is rotated, the pressing portion 60 can be moved along the length direction of the stud 52 because the storage portion 20 is restricted from being rotated. The screw thread 62 extends from the bottom of the pressing portion 60 toward the upward direction, and the plurality of screw threads 62 and the plurality of screw threads of the stud 52 can be firmly combined.
[0161] The screw thread 62 engaged with the stud 52 can be formed on the lower side of the pressing portion 60. Thus, even if the stud 52 is formed with the ascending restriction portion, the pressing portion 60 can eject the contents in a manner that the contents are left as little as possible. That is, the pressing portion 60 can sufficiently eject the contents accommodated in the storage portion 20 without being directly contacted with the ejection portion 30.
[0162] That is, the user rotates the operation portion 40 in a state of holding the operation portion 40 and the ejection portion 30 after separating the cover portion 10 from the contents container 1 of the present embodiment. At this time, the rotation of the ejection portion 30, the storage portion 20, and the pressing portion 60 is restricted, the operation portion 40 and the shaft portion 50 are integrally rotated, and the pressing portion 60 is relatively rotated while being engaged with the shaft portion 50 through the screw connection, and thus the contents are ascended and ejected.
[0163] The contents according to an embodiment of the present application can be accommodated in the contents container 1 described above. Referring to Figures 1 to 19According to an embodiment of the present invention, the content container 1 includes a storage portion 20 that stores a content; an ejection portion 30 that has an ejection port 31 and is coupled to an upper side of the storage portion 20, and is limited in relative rotation with respect to the storage portion 20; an operation portion 40 that is rotatably coupled to a lower side of the storage portion 20; a shaft portion 50 that is coupled to an inner bottom of the operation portion 40, and is limited in relative rotation with respect to the operation portion 40; and a pressurizing portion 60 that is engaged with the shaft portion 50, and is raised when the operation portion 40 is relatively rotated with respect to the storage portion 20, thereby pushing the content.
[0164] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the content container 1 includes a storage portion 20 that stores a content; an operation portion 40 that is rotatably coupled to a lower side of the storage portion 20; and a pressurizing portion 60 that pushes the content by operation of the operation portion 40. The content has a property that viscosity is lowered when the content is pressurized by the pressurizing portion 60, and the viscosity measured at 70°C is 1,000 Pa·s to 6,000 Pa·s. The hardness of the content measured at 25°C is 85 dyne / cm 2 to 500 dyne / cm 2 .
[0165] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the content container 1 includes a storage portion 20 that stores a content; an operation portion 40 that is rotatably coupled to a lower side of the storage portion 20; and a pressurizing portion 60 that pushes the content by operation of the operation portion 40. The content has a property that viscosity is lowered when the content is pressurized by the pressurizing portion 60, and the viscosity measured at 70°C is 1,000 Pa·s to 6,000 Pa·s. The hardness of the content measured at 25°C is 85 dyne / cm 2 to 500 dyne / cm 2 .
[0166] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the content container 1 includes a storage portion 20 that stores a content; an operation portion 40 that is rotatably coupled to a lower side of the storage portion 20; and a pressurizing portion 60 that pushes the content by operation of the operation portion 40. The content has a property that viscosity is lowered when the content is pressurized by the pressurizing portion 60, and the viscosity measured at 70°C is 1,000 Pa·s to 6,000 Pa·s. The hardness of the content measured at 25°C is 85 dyne / cm 2 to 500 dyne / cm 2 .
[0167] The storage portion 20 can include a concave-convex portion 25 formed by continuously recessing the side wall inward in the height direction to limit rotation of the pressurizing portion 60, and a protruding end 251 provided on the outside of the side wall and having a shape that cuts the concave-convex portion 25 in the height direction.
[0168] The concave-convex portion 25 can have a curved surface shape that bulges inward, and the pressurizing portion 60 can have a curved surface-shaped groove on the periphery that engages with the concave-convex portion 25.
[0169] The cover portion 10 can also include a cover protrusion 11 that is inserted into the discharge port 31, the cover protrusion 11 having a height that is partially inserted into the depth of the discharge port 31 and being hollow in shape.
[0170] The discharge portion 30 can include a seal rib 34 that surrounds the upper end periphery of the storage portion 20, is coupled to the storage portion 20 in a manner that limits relative rotation, and protrudes downward to engage with the upper end inner periphery of the storage portion 20.
[0171] The storage portion 20 can also include a frame 22 that is provided to protrude from the outside of the side wall, and the discharge portion 30 can include an annular groove 32 that engages with the frame 22 to maintain coupling with the storage portion 20.
[0172] The seal rib 34 can have a seal protrusion 341 on the periphery that abuts against the upper end inner periphery of the storage portion 20, and the seal protrusion 341 can block the gap between the seal rib 34 and the upper end of the storage portion 20 to prevent leakage of the contents.
[0173] The pressurizing portion 60 and the storage portion 20, the pressurizing portion 60 and the shaft portion 50, the shaft portion 50 and the storage portion 20, the storage portion 20 and the discharge portion 30, the cover portion 10 and the discharge port 31, and other coupling portions in the contents container 1 can be prone to leakage of the contents, and thus the contents container 1 according to an embodiment of the present application can improve the effect of preventing leakage of the contents by the protruding end 251 and other structures.
[0174] Note that even in this contents container 1, leakage of the contents can occur depending on the viscosity and other properties of the contents. That is, by adjusting the contents, the effect of preventing leakage of the contents container 1 can be further improved. In detail, contents having properties such as viscosity that indicate the effect of preventing leakage in the contents container 1 can be injected into the contents container 1. As a result, the contents and the contents container 1 can have a synergistic effect in terms of preventing leakage.
[0175] The contents will be described in detail below.
[0176] The above content can have a viscosity that prevents leakage within the content container 1. In particular, the above content can maintain a viscosity of a certain value or more even at a relatively high temperature. That is, the content can have a lower limit value of viscosity under certain temperature conditions.
[0177] To improve the viscosity of the above content, the above content contains a gelling agent. The gelling agent can convert the oil phase component into a gel phase or solidify the oil phase component. The above content can contain 3 to 20% by weight of the gelling agent with respect to the total weight of the content. Preferably, the above content can contain 5 to 15% by weight of the gelling agent with respect to the total weight of the content. Within the above range of the gelling agent, the viscosity and the hardness of the content can be maintained within a certain range. In addition, within the above range of the gelling agent, leakage of the content can be prevented. In addition, within the above range of the gelling agent, the content can exhibit excellent usability.
[0178] As for the above gelling agent, as long as it is a gelling agent that can convert the oil phase component into a gel phase or solidify the oil phase component, it is not particularly limited and can be used alone or in combination. The above gelling agent can be an oil phase thickening gelling agent. The above gelling agent can be a gelling agent that has excellent compatibility with oils such as hydrocarbons, esters, triglycerides, isoparaffins, etc.
[0179] The above gelling agent can include, for example, dextrin fatty acid ester, sucrose fatty acid ester, inulin fatty acid ester, etc. Depending on the acyl group of the above dextrin fatty acid ester, the gel strength of the content can also vary. Preferably, the above gelling agent can be dextrin fatty acid ester.
[0180] The above dextrin fatty acid ester can include dextrin palmitate, dextrin palmitate / ethylhexanoate, dextrin myristate, etc. Preferably, the above dextrin fatty acid ester can be dextrin palmitate.
[0181] The above dextrin palmitate has excellent compatibility with oils such as hydrocarbons, esters, triglycerides, isoparaffins, etc. In addition, compared to waxes, the above dextrin palmitate can maintain the structural viscosity of the content at high temperatures.
[0182] The viscosity required for the above-mentioned content when stored in the content container 1 and when discharged from the above-mentioned content container 1 for use can be different. When the above-mentioned content is stored, it is more advantageous to have a higher viscosity in order to prevent leakage, but in order to enable the above-mentioned content to be easily discharged along the ejection portion 30 and to be uniformly and widely pushed away at a site such as the skin, it is more advantageous for the above-mentioned content to have a relatively lower viscosity. Thus, it is preferable to adjust the viscosity according to the situation.
[0183] In order to adjust the viscosity according to the situation, the above-mentioned content has thixotropy. The above-mentioned thixotropy refers to the property in which the fluidity of a fluid changes due to external forces such as friction, shear stress, etc. The above-mentioned thixotropy can also be expressed as the property in which the viscosity of a fluid changes due to external forces. When the above-mentioned thixotropy is adjusted, the degree to which the viscosity or hardness of the content, etc. changes due to external forces can be adjusted.
[0184] The viscosity of the content is adjusted by thixotropy, which is desirable when the content is stored and used. As an example, when the content is stored in a container and no external force is applied to the content, it is preferable for the above-mentioned content to have a large viscosity in order to prevent the content from leaking to the outside of the container. In contrast, when the content is used with an external force applied to the container, it is preferable for the above-mentioned content to have a small viscosity so that the content is easily discharged and the above-mentioned content is easily applied to the skin, etc. In addition, if the viscosity is too large when the content is used, the user can feel a sticky, heavy usage feeling.
[0185] In order to adjust the thixotropy of the content, a thixotropic agent can be added to the content. The thixotropic agent can adjust the bonding between the particles contained in the content. In detail, the thixotropic agent can form a network structure between the particles (or molecules) contained in the content. Through the network structure, the content can have structural viscosity. The above-mentioned structural viscosity can have the effect of increasing the viscosity of the content before an external force is applied, and once an external force is applied, the above-mentioned network structure is broken by the external force and the viscosity of the content can decrease.
[0186] The above-mentioned content contains a thickening agent. The above-mentioned thickening agent can adjust the thixotropy of the above-mentioned content. That is, the above-mentioned thickening agent can achieve the effect of the thixotropic agent. Through the above-mentioned thickening agent, the above-mentioned content can have structural viscosity. It is preferable to use the above-mentioned thickening agent that can increase the structural viscosity of the above-mentioned content.
[0187] In order to be uniformly dispersed, the above-mentioned thickening agent can have a powder shape. The average size of the above-mentioned thickening agent particles can be 1 nm to 100 µm. The above-mentioned thickening agent can be dispersed in the content, inducing secondary bonding between the content particles, thereby enabling the content to have structural viscosity.
[0188] The above content can include 0.01 to 10% by weight of a thickening agent, relative to the total weight of the content. Preferably, the above content can include 0.1 to 5% by weight of a thickening agent, relative to the total weight of the content. Within the above range of the thickening agent, the viscosity and hardness of the content can be maintained within a certain range. In addition, within the above range of the thickening agent, leakage of the content can be prevented. In addition, within the above range of the thickening agent, the spreadability of the content does not decrease, and excellent usability and storage stability can be exhibited.
[0189] As for the above thickening agent, as long as it can impart thixotropy to the content, it is not particularly limited, and can be used alone or in a mixture. The above thickening agent can include, for example, one or more selected from the group consisting of silica silylate and hectorite-based thickening agents.
[0190] The above silica silylate can have a particle average size of 1 to 100 nm, and the above hectorite-based thickening agent can have a particle average size of 1 to 100 µm.
[0191] The above silica silylate can be a product in which -OH groups on the surface of silica are functionalized by reaction with a silyl group. The silica silylate can include silica dimethyl silylate or silica trimethyl silylate. Preferably, the above silica silylate can be silica dimethyl silylate. The above silica silylate can have hydrophobicity.
[0192] The above silica silylate can be generated by reaction of fumed silica. The above fumed silica has a large specific surface area, and thus has excellent oil absorption capacity and good thickening properties.
[0193] The hectorite-based thickening agent can include hectorite, disteardimonium hectorite, Quaternium-18 hectorite, and stearalkonium hectorite. Preferably, the above hectorite-based thickening agent can be disteardimonium hectorite. The above disteardimonium hectorite can improve the structural viscosity of the content while maintaining the spreadability of the content.
[0194] The above content can include an oil phase section composed of an oil phase component. The above oil phase section can impart smooth spreadability to the content, or enhance moisturizing power by blocking evaporation of moisture from the skin or the like, or enhance adhesion to the skin or the like.
[0195] The above oil phase section can include one or more selected from the group consisting of hydrogenated polyisobutene, pentaerythritol fatty acid ester, phytosteryl fatty acid ester, diisostearyl malate, and silicone oil.

Preferably, the pentaerythritol fatty acid ester can be dipentaerythritol hexahydroxystearate / hexastearate / hexarosinate. The above-mentioned pentaerythritol fatty acid ester is a commercially available product, for example, COSMOL 168M, COSMOL 168E, and COSMOL 168AR (all of which are manufactured by THE NISSHIN OILIO GROUP, LTD.), and the like.
[0201] The above-mentioned phytosteryl fatty acid ester can include, for example, phytosteryl oleate, dimer dilinoleic acid dimer dilinoleyl bis (behenyl / isostearyl / phytosteryl) ester (Dimer Dilinoleic Acid Dimer Dilinoleyl Bis (Behenyl / Isostearyl / Phytosteryl)), dimer dilinoleic acid (phytosteryl / isostearyl / cetyl / stearyl / behenyl) ester, and macadamia nut fatty acid phytosteryl ester (Macadamia Nut Fatty Acid Phytosteryl).

The above-mentioned phytosteryl fatty acid ester is a commercially available product, and can be PLANDOOL-G and PLANDOOL-H (all of which are manufactured by NIPPON FINE CHEMICAL CO., LTD.), and the like.
[0202] The above-mentioned content can include 50 to 89% by weight of an oil phase portion with respect to the total weight of the content. The above-mentioned oil phase portion can include 10 to 79% by weight of a binder with respect to the total weight of the content. Preferably, the above-mentioned oil phase portion can include 10 to 49% by weight of a binder with respect to the total weight of the content.
[0203] The oil phase part can contain 40 to 79% by weight of the emollient, relative to the total weight of the content. Within the range of the oil phase part, the content can be prevented from leaking. In addition, the content can exhibit excellent softness, usability, and adhesion.
[0204] To improve the stability of the content, the content can contain an emulsifier. The emulsifier can contain one or more selected from a silicon-based emulsifier, a stearate-based emulsifier, and a sorbitan ester-based emulsifier.
[0205] The silicon-based emulsifier can contain one or more selected from the group consisting of Cetyl PEG / PPG-10 / 1 Dimethicone, PEG-10 Dimethicone Lauryl PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, and Lauryl Polyglyceryl-3 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone.
[0206] The stearate-based emulsifier can be one or more selected from the group consisting of PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Triisostearate, and Polyoxyethylenediisostearate, but is not limited thereto.

[0208] Preferably, the emulsifier can be a sorbitan ester emulsifier. Preferably, the sorbitan ester emulsifier can include at least one of sorbitan olivate and sorbitan stearate.
[0209] The emulsifier can be included in an amount of 0.1 to 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the content. Preferably, the emulsifier can be included in an amount of 1 to 8% by weight, and more preferably, the emulsifier can be included in an amount of 2 to 7% by weight.
[0210] The content can include an aqueous phase part. The aqueous phase part can mean a part including a water phase component, i.e., purified water. The aqueous phase part can further include a polyol. For example, the polyol can be one or more selected from the group consisting of 1,2-hexanediol, glycerin, 1,3-butanediol, dipropylene glycol, and propylene glycol. The content can include the aqueous phase part in an amount of 5 to 30% by weight, based on the total weight of the content. Preferably, the content can include the aqueous phase part in an amount of 5 to 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the content.
[0211] The content according to an embodiment of the present application can further include, without limitation, a coloring agent, a pigment, a humectant, a surfactant, a fragrance, a filler, a preservative, a neutralizing agent, and the like.
[0212] The above content can have a solid form or a semi-solid form at room temperature. As an example, the semi-solid form can be a cream form, a gel form, or a paste form. The phase of the above content can be converted to a phase having excellent fluidity or the viscosity thereof can decrease when the content is subjected to an external force.
[0213] In addition, in order to prevent leakage, the viscosity of the above content can be maintained within a certain range. Accordingly, the viscosity of the above content can also be maintained within a certain range at a high temperature. The viscosity of the above content measured at 70°C can be 1,000 Pa-s to 6,000 Pa-s. Within the above viscosity range, leakage of the content can be prevented.
[0214] In addition, the above content can have thixotropy. For example, the viscosity of the above content can decrease when the content is pressurized by an external force. In this case, in order to prevent leakage, the viscosity of the above content can be maintained within a certain range when the content is pressurized.
[0215] The stud 52 of the shaft portion 50 is coupled to the screw thread 62 of the pressurizing portion 60, and the coupling length of the shaft portion 50 and the pressurizing portion 60 is longer than the coupling length between the storage portion 20 and the ejection portion 30. Accordingly, the possibility of leakage between the shaft portion 50 and the pressurizing portion 60 is lower than that between the storage portion 20 and the ejection portion 30.
[0216] According to the above content, within the above viscosity range, leakage of the content between the storage portion 20 and the ejection portion 30 can be prevented. In addition, according to the above content, within the above viscosity range, leakage of the content between the shaft portion 50 and the pressurizing portion 60 can be prevented. Preferably, according to the above content, within the above viscosity range, leakage of the content between the storage portion 20 and the ejection portion 30, which have a relatively high possibility of leakage, can be prevented.
[0217] The hardness of the above content can be maintained within a certain range. The hardness of the content measured at 25°C can be 85 dyne / cm 2 to 500 dyne / cm 2 The above hardness can be the hardness of the content before the content is ejected from the content container.
[0218] In the case of low hardness, the components of the content cannot be firmly coupled to each other, and components having poor compatibility in the content can be separated, which can cause oil bleeding.
[0219] However, the gelling agent in the above content forms a dense and fine mesh structure, and thus the components, such as the oil phase portion, contained in the above content can be fixed to the mesh structure. Accordingly, even if the content container is tilted, the content does not leak from between the storage portion 20 and the ejection portion 30, and thus can have excellent stability. The hardness of the above content can decrease when the content is ejected.
[0220] In detail, according to the above content, it is possible to prevent the content from leaking between the storage portion 20 and the ejection portion 30 within the above hardness range. In addition, according to the above content, it is possible to prevent the content from leaking between the shaft portion 50 and the pressurizing portion 60 within the above hardness range. Preferably, according to the above content, it is possible to prevent the content from leaking between the storage portion 20 and the ejection portion 30, which have relatively high leakage possibility, within the above hardness range.
[0221] The hardness of the above content after being ejected from the content container can be smaller than before being ejected. As an example, the hardness of the above content after being ejected from the content container can be 40 to 70% of the hardness before being ejected when measured at 25°C.
[0222] Hereinafter, the present application will be further specifically described through experimental examples. The technical scope of the present application is not limited to the following examples and comparative examples.

[0225] The content of Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Example 1 was prepared with the composition described in Table 1 below (unit: weight %).
[0226] Specifically, the content preparation method was as follows.
[0227] 1) The oil phase portion was heated to 85°C.
[0228] 2) The gelling agent, thickening agent, and emulsifier were added to the oil phase portion of 1) above, and the thickening agent was dispersed using a homogenizer at 5000 rpm for 10 minutes.
[0229] 3) The water phase portion was dissolved using a disperser while being mixed.
[0230] 4) The water phase portion mixture of 3) above was mixed with the oil phase portion mixture of 2) above, and an emulsified product was prepared using a homogenizer at 70°C and 5000 rpm for 10 minutes.
[0231] 4) After that, the emulsion was sufficiently stirred and degassed, and then naturally cooled.
[0232] [Table 1]
[0233] As shown in Table 2 below, the viscosity and hardness of the content according to the gelling agent and thickening agent in Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Example 1 above were measured, and the use sensation and the frequency of occurrence of leakage were confirmed.
[0234] - Specifically, for viscosity, the measurement was performed using a Brookfield DV2TLVTJ0 viscometer, with a plurality of spindles LV-04 spindle 64 mounted on the above viscometer, using a Model G laboratory stand (unit: Pa-s). After heating the contents to 80°C or more to sufficiently melt using a Microwave, 80 ml of the contents were added to a PYREX® Griffin Low Form 100 mL Beaker, Graduated, and adjusted to 70°C while slowly stirring, and sampling was performed. The speed adjustment of the Brookfield DV2TLVTJ10 viscometer was 30 rpm, and the End condition adjustment was one minute, and thus the viscosity was measured.
[0235] - For hardness, the measurement was performed using a FUDOH RHEO METER RTC-3005D of RHEOTECH Co., Ltd., with a spindle No. 3, 10 ø (unit: dyne / cm 2 ). After heating the contents to 80°C or more to sufficiently dissolve using a Microwave, 10 ml of the contents adjusted to 70°C were added to an aluminum square tray (X-1), and sampling was performed by storing in a 25°C constant-temperature chamber for one hour. Using the FUDOH RHEO METER RTC-3005D, the hardness was measured based on the force-time curve received when entering from the surface of the contents to a point of 2 mm. The spindle used when measuring the hardness was No. 3, 10 ø, the stage speed was 2.0 cm / min, and the maximum load was 5 N (peak hold: maximum stress maintained).
[0236] - For the use feeling, 20 women in their 20s to 40s were targeted, a reasonable amount (0.03 g) was applied to the lips, and the satisfaction degree with respect to the uniformity of application, non-stickiness, refreshing use feeling, and the like was evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria.
[0237] - Evaluation criteria: 4 to 5 points:, 3 to 4 points: o, 2 to 3 points:, 2 points or less: X
[0238] - For the frequency of occurrence of leakage, the contents container was filled with 15 ml of the contents and naturally cooled, and after a stabilization time of 16 hours or more, the contents container was maintained in an inverted state (lying down) in a constant-temperature chamber maintained at 50°C, and the evaluation was performed by repeatedly using the contents container every day.
[0239] Specifically, after taking out the content container from the 50°C thermostat, the content container was left at room temperature for one hour, and then the cap portion was opened to check the leakage state. After 0.15 g of the content was ejected and wiped, the content container was stored in the 50°C thermostat. The ejection and storage of the content were repeated for 21 days (three weeks), and the number of samples in which leakage occurred was evaluated among the total of five content container samples. Whether or not leakage occurred was checked at the lower end of the ejection portion close to the storage portion and at the upper end of the operation portion close to the auxiliary joining portion.
[0240] [Table 2]
[0241] According to Examples 1 to 4, the increase in the high-temperature viscosity was proportional to the content of the thickening agent. Thus, even under the condition of 50°C, which is higher than room temperature, the contents of Examples 1 to 4 did not leak from the container. In Comparative Example 3 and Comparative Example 1, leakage was prevented in Example 3 compared to Comparative Example 1 in which leakage occurred.
[0242] On the other hand, the contents of Examples 1 to 4 can have a solid form or a semi-solid form at room temperature. The contents of Examples 1 to 4 can have a hardness of a certain value or more at room temperature.
[0243] Due to thixotropy, the contents of Examples 1 to 4 can change their phase to a phase having excellent fluidity or decrease in viscosity when subjected to an external force or an increase in temperature. The fact that the contents of Examples 1 to 4 have a viscosity within a certain range at 70°C can prove that the contents have a viscosity within a certain range when used and pressurized. Thus, the contents do not leak from the content container even when pressurized during use.
[0244] In addition, the contents of Examples 1 to 4 have a hardness within a certain range, and thus the oil phase portion does not separate from the contents, and the contents can have excellent dosage form stability and storage stability.
[0245] Experimental Example 2: Evaluation of leakage stability and use feeling based on the components contained in the oil phase portion
[0246] The contents of Example 3, Example 5, Example 6, and Comparative Example 2 were prepared with the compositions described in Table 3 below (unit: weight %). Example 3, Example 5, Example 6, and Comparative Example 2 were prepared in the same manner as in Experimental Example 1 above.
[0247] [Table 3]
[0248] As shown in Table 4 below, the viscosity and hardness according to the content of the oil phase part in Example 3, Example 5, Example 6, and Comparative Example 2 described above were measured, and the use feeling was confirmed. In addition to measuring the frequency of occurrence of leakage for 14 days (two weeks), the viscosity measurement and the like were performed in the same manner as in Experimental Example 1 described above.
[0249] [Table 4]
[0250] Experimental Example 2 is an example in which an oil having a viscosity greater than that of the emollient is added to the oil phase part in order to reduce the risk of leakage of the content. Among them, Example 3 and Example 5 containing hydrogenated polyisobutylene and phytosteryl fatty acid ester have relatively large high-temperature viscosity and hardness compared to Comparative Example 2 containing diglycerol polyacyl adipate-2.
[0251] In Comparative Example 2, leakage of the content occurred three times, whereas no leakage occurred in Example 3 and Example 5 and Example 6 containing pentaerythritol fatty acid ester. It can be seen that the viscosity is increased by hydrogenated polyisobutylene and phytosteryl fatty acid ester and pentaerythritol fatty acid ester.
[0252] In addition, hydrogenated polyisobutylene and phytosteryl fatty acid ester and pentaerythritol fatty acid ester are combined with dextrin palmitate as a gelling agent, so that the hardness can be improved. By the improved hardness, the oil phase part is not separated in the content, and excellent formulation stability and storage stability can be obtained. Therefore, hydrogenated polyisobutylene and phytosteryl fatty acid ester and pentaerythritol fatty acid ester can improve the storage stability of the content.
[0253] Experimental Example 3: Evaluation of hardness change before and after ejection
[0254] [Table 5]
[0255] The hardness before and after ejection of Example 3 from the content container was confirmed. For the hardness after ejection of Example 3, immediately after ejection of Example 3 from the content container, the measurement was performed in the same manner as the method of measuring the hardness in the experiment described above, while the operation feeling generation part of the operation part and 1 to 3 concave-convex protrusions continuously interacted when rotating.
[0256] As shown in Table 5, the hardness of the content decreases when it is ejected, but the content described above can be stably stored in the content container and does not leak. In particular, even between the ejection part and the storage part of the content container, the content described above does not leak.
[0257] Experimental Example 4: Evaluation of the discharge amount of the content container
[0258] The discharge amount of the embodiment 3 when the operation portion in the content container is rotated by an angle equivalent to the angle between the adjacent concave-convex protrusions was evaluated. In the content container, the angle between the adjacent concave-convex protrusions was 18 degrees, and the pitch of the stud was 1.2 mm. At this time, when the operation portion was rotated between the adjacent concave-convex protrusions, 0.035 mL of the content was discharged. The amount of the content can be increased in proportion to the degree of rotation of the operation portion as described above.
[0259] When the operation portion is rotated between the adjacent concave-convex protrusions, the concave-convex protrusions collide with the operation-sensation-generating portion, and it is possible to emit a click sound or to generate a touch sensation of hooking. The concave-convex protrusions and the operation-sensation-generating portion can thus provide the operation sensation to the content container. In addition, a certain amount of the content is discharged when the operation sensation is generated, so the user can adjust the amount of the content only by feeling.
