Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a contents container equipped with multiple applicators, and more particularly to a contents container equipped with multiple applicators capable of applying the same contents in multiple ways depending on the application site or area. Background Technology

[0002] For cosmetic containers containing liquid and volatile substances, such as gels or creams, the container is designed with a narrow outlet to minimize the evaporation of water or volatile solvents. Such containers are configured with an applicator at the outlet for applying the contents to the body, and a small nozzle is formed on the applicator through which the contents are discharged.

[0003] Generally, such containers are equipped with only a single applicator, thus limiting the user to applying the contents using only one method. Consequently, even when a more suitable application method is required depending on the type of contents, the area of ​​application, or the intended use, the user's options remain limited.

[0004] Especially with color cosmetics, the application area varies depending on the application area, such as the eyes, lips, and cheeks. Since the area varies depending on the application area, it is difficult to achieve the desired makeup effect with a single applicator.

[0005] For example, in the case of the lips, because the curvature of the application area is greater, the area that is closely adhered to the application is different from the area that is applied to the lip boundary and defines the lip contour. As a result, when the application, blending and adherence remain constant without change, it is difficult for users to easily achieve the desired makeup effect.

Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of a contents container equipped with multiple applicators according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0057] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The contents container equipped with multiple applicators may include a container body 100, a first applicator 200, a second applicator 300, and a cap member 400.

[0058] The container body 100 is used to contain contents therein, wherein the contents may be a liquid, gel, or jelly-like cosmetic material. For example, the contents may include lip gloss, lip balm, lip repair, lotion, milk lotion, moisturizing lotion, nourishing lotion, skin lotion, skin softener, skin toner, astringent, massage cream, nourishing cream, moisturizing cream, whitening essence, tone-up cream, sunscreen, sun cream, sun milk, BB cream, makeup base, foundation, CC cream, concealer, blusher, shading, eyeshadow, eyebrow pencil, eye cream, and primer. However, it is not limited to this; it can also be applied to other dosage forms or types of cosmetic materials, medical contents, etc.

[0059] The container body 100 can be in the form of a cylindrical tube, with its lower end sealed by a straight-line press-fit weld. A main outlet 110 for the movement of contents can be formed at the upper end of the container body 100. The outer diameter of the main outlet 110 can be smaller than that of the lower end of the container body 100, and external threads 120 for engagement with the second applicator 300 (described later) can be formed on its outer circumferential surface. Furthermore, the container body 100 can be made of a flexible, elastic material. Specifically, the container body 100 can be made of polypropylene (PP), but various other materials can also be used. When subjected to pressure, the internal pressure of this container body 100 increases, thereby allowing the contents to be discharged through the main outlet 110.

[0060] The first applicator 200 functions to apply the contents contained in the container body 100 to the body, and may be formed at the upper end of the main outlet 110 of the container body 100.

[0061] According to an embodiment, the first applicator 200 may be integrally molded from the same material as the container body 100.

[0062] According to an embodiment, the first applicator 200 can also be manufactured as a separate component from the container body 100, and can be combined with the container body 100. The first applicator 200 can be detachably mounted to the container body 100.

[0063] According to an embodiment, a first applicator 210 may be formed at the upper end of the first applicator 200. Furthermore, an outlet 220 for discharging the contents of the container body 100 may be formed in the first applicator 210.

[0064] According to the embodiment, the first applicator 210 may be in the shape of a circular planar surface, an ellipse, or an inclined surface. The shape of the first applicator 210 is not limited to these and may be in various shapes.

[0065] The second applicator 300 functions to apply the contents contained in the container body 100 to the body, and can be detachably fastened to the other end of the container body 100 in a first fastening manner.

[0066] The first fastening method can be a threaded fastening method or a snap-on fastening method, but is not limited to these; any fastening method commonly used in the art can be used.

[0067] According to an embodiment, the first fastening method can be a rotational engagement of the internal thread 310 and the external thread 120. Therefore, an external thread 120 can be formed on the outer circumferential surface of the container body 100, and an internal thread 310 fastened to the external thread 120 can be formed on the inner circumferential surface of the second applicator 300.

[0068] The second applicator 300 can be cylindrical in shape, with its lower end open.

[0069] A second applicator 320 with a spherical shape can be formed at the upper end of the second applicator 300. However, the shape of the second applicator 320 is not limited to this, and it can also be in various shapes such as square, triangle, and ellipse, or it can be formed as a flat surface without protrusion.

[0070] A nozzle 330 may be formed at the upper end of the second applicator 300. The nozzle 330 is connected to the discharge port 220 of the first applicator 200 and is used to discharge the contents of the container body 100. The nozzle 330 may be formed in the shape of a cylindrical tube and may be inserted into the discharge port 220 when the second applicator 300 is fastened to the container body 100.

[0071] A serrated protrusion 340, which connects to the cap member 400 described later, may be formed on the outer peripheral surface of the second applicator 300. The serrated protrusion 340 may be in the form of a vertically extending rod and arranged at predetermined intervals along the outer peripheral surface of the second applicator 300. The shape and number of the serrated protrusion 340 may be appropriately varied and are not limited to the figures shown. Such a serrated protrusion 340 can be connected to the cap member 400 described later, allowing the cap member 400 to rotate together with the second applicator 300.

[0072] The cover member 400 is used to cover and protect the second applicator 300 and can be attached to the second applicator 300 by a second fastening method.

[0073] The second fastening method can be a threaded fastening method or a snap fastening method, but is not limited to these; it can be a fastening method commonly used in this field.

[0074] According to the embodiment, the second fastening method is a snap fastening method, which can be a method in which the cover member 400 is pressed into and fastened along the outer peripheral surface of the second applicator 300.

[0075] Furthermore, the cap member 400 can rotate together with the second applicator 300, but can rotate relative to the first applicator 200.

[0076] According to an embodiment, the cover member 400 may be a cylindrical shape with an open lower end and a spherical shape at the upper end. Furthermore, engaging protrusions 410 that engage with the serrated protrusions 340 may be formed on the inner circumferential surface of the cover member 400. The engaging protrusions 410 may be in the form of vertically extending rods, and are composed of multiple protrusions spaced apart from each other along the inner circumferential surface of the cover member 400. Such engaging protrusions 410 can be inserted into the serrated protrusions 340 in an engaging manner, thereby causing the second applicator 300 to rotate together with the cover member 400.

[0077] According to an embodiment, a first inclined portion 341 may be formed at the upper end of the serrated protrusion 340, and a second inclined portion 411 may be formed at the lower end of the connecting protrusion 410. The second inclined portion 411 contacts the first inclined portion 341 and is used to guide the connecting protrusion 410 into the serrated protrusion 340. The second inclined portion 411 can slide along the first inclined portion 341 when the cover member 400 is installed on the second applicator 300, thereby guiding the connecting protrusion 410 into the space between the serrated protrusions 340.

[0078] According to an embodiment, the cap member 400 and the second applicator 300 can be of corresponding shapes, allowing them to mesh and rotate together. For example, when the cap member 400 and the second applicator 300 are non-circular square or elliptical, they can rotate together in a tightly fitted state. According to an embodiment, a sealing protrusion 420 can be formed protruding from the inner side of the cap member 400, the sealing protrusion 420 being used to insert the nozzle 330. The sealing protrusion 420 protrudes downward from the upper inner side of the cap member 400, and when installed with the second applicator 300, it can be inserted into the upper end of the nozzle 330 and seal the nozzle 330. This sealing protrusion 420 provides the effect of preventing contents from arbitrarily overflowing from the nozzle 330.

[0079] According to an embodiment, the contents container may further include a contact member 500, which contacts the application area on the upper part of the second applicator 300.

[0080] The contact member 500 is mounted on the second application portion 320 and can directly contact the body to apply the contents. The contact member 500 can be formed as a hemispherical shell structure enclosing the second application portion 320, and can be made of silicone or a mixture of polypropylene (PP) and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). Furthermore, the contact member 500 can be flocked. When the contact member 500 is flocked, its surface is softer, thereby minimizing irritation when applying the contents and allowing the contents to spread evenly, thus providing a uniform application to the body.

[0081] Figure 5 This is a sequence diagram illustrating the usage states of a contents container equipped with multiple applicators according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, Figure 5 Parts (a) and (b) show the process of the first applicator 200 being exposed. Figure 5 Parts (c) and (d) show the process of the second applicator 300 being exposed.

[0082] like Figure 5 As shown in parts (a) and (b), when the cap member 400 is rotated threadedly according to the first fastening method, the second applicator 300 rotates together, and the internal thread 310 of the second applicator 300 separates from the container body 100 as it rises along the external thread 120, thereby exposing the first applicator 200. The first applicator portion 210 of the first applicator 200 is planar or inclined, thus allowing it to be used when applying contents to a small area.

[0083] like Figure 5 As shown in parts (c) and (d), when the cover member 400 is pulled upwards and pulled out according to the second fastening method using a snap-on mechanism, the cover member 400 separates from the second applicator 300, thereby exposing the second applicator 300. The second applicator 300, whose second applicator portion 320 is spherical in shape, can apply the contents to the body through the contact member 500, thus allowing it to be used when applying to a large area.

[0084] As described above, by selectively exposing the first applicator 200 and the second applicator 300 according to the fastening method, the same contents can be applied in multiple ways, thereby providing the effect of expanding the scope of use and improving user satisfaction.

[0085] Figure 6 This is a perspective view of a first applicator 200, which is equipped with a contents container having multiple applicators, according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 As shown, the first applicator 200 has a diameter that gradually decreases towards the upper side, and the first applicator portion 210 can be formed into a circular planar shape on the upper surface of the first applicator 200. When the first applicator portion 210 is formed into a circular planar shape, it can be used to apply to a smaller area and can be used as a concealer, foundation, or blush.

[0086] Depending on the circumstances, the first applicator 200 may be formed separately from the container body 100. Figure 7 This is a cross-sectional view of a contents container equipped with multiple applicators according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 As shown, when the first applicator 200 is separated from the container body 100, a connecting portion 250 for insertion into the main outlet 110 can be formed at the lower end of the first applicator 200, and a stop portion 260 can be formed on the upper outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion 250 to lock into the upper end of the main outlet 110. Furthermore, when the first applicator 200 is separated from the container body 100, the first applicator 200 can be made of a different material than the container body 100 (e.g., silicone).

[0087] The contents container equipped with multiple applicators according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is constructed with the above structure, allows selective use of the first applicator 200 and the second applicator 300 depending on the fastening method.

[0088] As described above, preferred embodiments are disclosed in the accompanying drawings and specification. Although specific terminology is used herein, it is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the meaning or scope of the invention as set forth in the claims. Therefore, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and other equivalent embodiments can be achieved.
