Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of the invention patent application filed on August 29, 2024, with national application number 202422110285.6 and invention title "Content Container and Cosmetics". Technical Field
[0002] This utility model relates to a container for contents. Background Technology
[0003] Generally speaking, people have a desire to beautify themselves through makeup. Therefore, people feel satisfied by applying makeup in various ways to their skin, lips, nails, hair, and other parts of their body.
[0004] For lips, commonly used makeup methods include making the lips stand out on the face or melting away the lip keratin to create smooth and firm lips. In these cases, people use lip masks, lipsticks, lip glosses, lip balms, lip tints, etc. to make their lips look more attractive.
[0005] Lip masks can be made in various forms; one example is a container-type lip mask. Container-type lip masks have the following structure: when the knob is rotated, the piston rises, dispensing the cosmetic contained inside.
[0006] This type of container lip mask can be used in the following ways: the sprayed portion can be applied directly to the lips to transfer the cosmetic to the lips, or the sprayed cosmetic can be transferred to the hand or other tool and then transferred to the lips.
[0007] However, the lip film used in the container-type structure has a relatively complex structure to facilitate the rotation of the knob and the rise of the piston, thus posing a risk of leakage depending on the viscosity or hardness of the dosage form. Furthermore, there is a need to improve the feel of the knob operation. Utility Model Content

[0072] Reference Figures 1 to 19 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the contents container 1 is composed of multiple structures and is manufactured by assembling these multiple structures. It adopts an assembly structure and a sealing structure that can prevent the contents from leaking to the outside after the manufacturing process is completed.
[0073] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the contents container 1 includes a cover portion 10, a storage portion 20, a spray portion 30, an operation portion 40, a shaft portion 50, and a pressurizing portion 60. The following description illustrates an example where the contents container 1 of this embodiment is cylindrical, but it can undoubtedly be implemented in various shapes such as polygons.
[0074] The cover 10 is attached to the upper side of the nozzle 31, thereby sealing the upper part of the storage section 20. A cover protrusion 11 may be provided inside the cover 10. The cover protrusion 11 is inserted into the nozzle 31 located on the upper part of the nozzle 30, thereby sealing the storage section 20 containing the contents.
[0075] The cover 10 is formed as a cylinder with an open lower part and a sealed upper part. The lower surface of the upper part has a cover protrusion 11 that protrudes downwards to seal the nozzle 31 of the ejector 30. At this time, as... Figure 19 As shown, the cover protrusion 11 can be partially inserted into the nozzle 31. That is, the cover protrusion 11 can have a relatively small height relative to the depth of the nozzle 31.
[0076] Furthermore, the cap protrusion 11 can be configured to be hollow. The outer periphery of the cap protrusion 11 engages with the inner periphery of the nozzle 31, thereby preventing leakage of the contents. For this purpose, the cap protrusion 11 is sized to fit completely against the nozzle 31. In this case, if the cap protrusion 11 has a shape that is filled internally, then when the cover 10 is attached to the nozzle 30, the cap protrusion 11 causes the internal pressure of the storage section 20 to rise.
[0077] In this state, if the user subsequently removes the cover 10, the contents may leak due to residual pressure. Therefore, in this embodiment, the cover protrusion 11 has a height less than the depth of the nozzle 31, thereby minimizing the increase in internal pressure of the storage compartment 20. Furthermore, the cover protrusion 11 has a hollow shape, so that even if the cover protrusion 11 is inserted into the nozzle 31, the internal space of the cover protrusion 11 can be used to relieve the increase in internal pressure of the storage compartment 20.
[0078] The inner circumferential surface of the cover portion 10 may be formed with snap-fit protrusions 12. The snap-fit protrusions 12 can be used to connect the cover portion 10 to the auxiliary coupling portion 26 described later. Multiple snap-fit protrusions 12 may be formed, which can be assembled with outer protrusions 261 formed on the upper edge of the auxiliary coupling portion 26. The multiple snap-fit protrusions 12 may be arranged radially, and the outer protrusions 261 may be formed in a ring shape so as not to restrict the direction of connection of the cover portion 10 to the auxiliary coupling portion 26.
[0079] Undoubtedly, the opposite can also be achieved, with a snap-fit protrusion provided in the auxiliary joint 26 and an inner protrusion formed in the cover 10 that engages with the snap-fit protrusion 12. In addition, various connection structures can be employed.
[0080] The storage section 20 contains the contents. The storage section 20 may be open at the top and have a hole (not shown) formed at the bottom for inserting the shaft section 50. The upper part of the storage section 20 may be combined with the ejector section 30 and the cover section 10.
[0081] The ejector section 30 and the storage section 20 can be combined in a manner that restricts relative rotation. That is, the ejector section 30 and the storage section 20 are combined in such a way that they cannot rotate relative to each other, thus allowing them to rotate as a single unit. Conversely, the operating section 40 is configured to rotate relative to the storage section 20. Therefore, if the user grasps the ejector section 30 and rotates the operating section 40, the relative rotation of the operating section 40 relative to the storage section 20 can be achieved.
[0082] The storage section 20 may include a serrated protrusion 21, a frame 22, a support protrusion 23, a sound bar 24, a recessed portion 25, and an auxiliary connecting portion 26. Each component is described in detail below.
[0083] In the storage section 20, a frame 22 may be provided in a manner that protrudes from the outer side wall. The frame 22 may be annular. The storage section 20 and the ejection section 30 can be connected by the engagement of the frame 22 (Rim) of the storage section 20 with the annular groove 32 of the ejection section 30.
[0084] The ejector portion 30 may have an annular groove 32 at a position corresponding to the frame 22 when it is attached to one side of the storage portion 20. For example... Figure 16 As shown, the annular groove 32 engages with the frame 22, thereby enabling the ejector 30 to maintain its connection with the storage section 20.
[0085] Furthermore, the storage section 20 and the ejection section 30 can be connected by the engagement of the serrated protrusion 21 of the storage section 20 and the fixing protrusion 33 of the ejection section 30. The connection between the frame 22 and the annular groove 32 is used to prevent the ejection section 30 from disengaging from the storage section 20, without restricting the relative rotation of the ejection section 30 relative to the storage section 20. It should be noted that the connection between the serrated protrusion 21 and the fixing protrusion 33 can be provided to restrict the relative rotation of the ejection section 30 relative to the storage section 20.
[0086] The serrated protrusions 21 can be formed along the circumferential direction on the outer sidewall of the storage section 20. The serrated protrusions 21 can be in the shape of vertical unit serrations having a predetermined height arranged at certain intervals along the periphery of the sidewall of the storage section 20. The unit serrations can be arranged at intervals smaller than the size of each unit serration or at intervals similar to the size of the unit serrations, and fixed protrusions 33 can be formed in the ejection section 30 corresponding to the intervals between multiple unit serrations.
[0087] Furthermore, five to ten (preferably eight or nine) serrations can be provided at a certain interval between two adjacent protrusions and recesses 25. In this case, serrated protrusions 21 are arranged separately from the protrusions and recesses 25 along the circumferential direction of the storage section 20, with a first interval between them. The first interval can be set to be a certain interval greater than the arrangement of multiple serrations.
[0088] The reason for arranging five or more serrated units to form the serrated protrusions 21 is that, compared to arranging the serrated protrusions 21 separately, the structure can be strengthened and the rigidity improved. That is, according to this embodiment, in the serrated protrusions 21, the interval between the serrated units is made smaller, thereby ensuring sufficient connection force between the storage section 20 and the ejection section 30, and ensuring stable integral rotation of the ejection section 30 and the storage section 20.
[0089] On the outer side of the sidewall of the storage section 20, the serrated protrusion 21 may be provided on the lower side of the frame 22. In this case, when the lower end of the ejector 30 is attached to the storage section 20, it passes through the frame 22 and then through the serrated protrusion 21.
[0090] In order to prevent the fixing protrusion 33 in the ejection section 30 that engages with the serrated protrusion 21 from getting stuck on the frame 22 of the storage section 20, the ejection section 30 can be formed such that the inner diameter of the lower part with the fixing protrusion 33 is relatively larger than the inner diameter of the upper part with the annular groove 32.
[0091] Therefore, when the ejector 30 is attached to the storage unit 20, the fixing protrusion 33 located on the lower part of the ejector 30 can pass through the frame 22 of the storage unit 20 and engage with the serrated protrusion 21 of the storage unit 20 without being disturbed by the frame 22 of the storage unit 20.
[0092] The plurality of fixed protrusions 33 provided on the ejection section 30 can be arranged along the inner peripheral surface of the ejection section 30. That is, the fixed protrusions 33 of the ejection section 30 can be formed in a serrated shape, corresponding to the serrated protrusions 21 of the storage section 20.
[0093] Storage section 20 may also include support protrusion 23. For example... Figure 18As shown, the support protrusion 23 can be used to house the auxiliary connecting part 26. For reference, the auxiliary connecting part 26 can also be interpreted as constituting part of the storage part 20. For ease of explanation, the part of the storage part 20 other than the auxiliary connecting part 26 can be referred to as the storage body 20a.
[0094] The support protrusion 23 may be formed in the lower part of the storage body 20a as a bar parallel to the outer peripheral surface. Multiple support protrusions 23 may be provided, capable of supporting the lower edge of the auxiliary connecting portion 26. That is, the support protrusion 23 can restrict the downward movement of the auxiliary connecting portion 26 relative to the storage body 20a.
[0095] A sound bar 24 may be provided at the lower part of the storage unit 20. The sound bar 24, located at the lower end of the storage unit 20, can cooperate with the sound protrusion 44 provided on the operation unit 40 to generate sound when the operation unit 40 is rotated. Therefore, the user can experience an improved operating feel based on the clicking noise generated when the sound bar 24 passes over the sound protrusion 44 as the operation unit 40 is rotated. Furthermore, through the engagement of the sound bar 24 and the sound protrusion 44, the user can adjust the rotation angle of the operation unit 40 to a certain angle.
[0096] At least one sound bar 24 may be provided along the lower edge of the storage section 20. Multiple sound bars 24 of the storage section 20 may be provided radially, and may be configured to include arms 241 and hook-up protrusions 242, etc. Arms 241 may extend cantileveredly from the lower end of the storage section 20. As an example, arms 241 may extend horizontally. That is, arms 241 may extend in a cantilevered manner. The letter-shaped connector is attached to the lower end of the storage section 20.
[0097] The storage section 20, in its lower portion where the sound bar 24 is located, may have an upwardly recessed inlet end 202 that accommodates at least a portion of the arm 241. The bottom portion of the lower end of the storage section 20 may have a partially cut and through-hole shape to form the inlet end 202. It should be noted that even though the bottom of the storage section 20 is through-holeed to form the inlet end 202, the contents stored in the upper part of the pressurized section 60 will not leak through the inlet end 202 due to the structure where the periphery of the pressurized section 60 and the inner wall of the storage section 20 are sealed to each other.
[0098] The inlet end 202 is configured to accommodate the free end portion of the arm 241 that has a hook protrusion 242, thus creating ample space for the arm 241 to deform upwards. When the storage section 20 rotates and the sound bar 24 passes the sound protrusion 44, the arm 241 of the sound bar 24 can deform upwards toward the inlet end 202.
[0099] The hook-up protrusion 242 can protrude downward from the arm 241. The hook-up protrusion 242 can be configured to protrude downward from the end of the arm 241 and include a sloping surface and a vertical surface. The hook-up protrusion 242 can have a curved sloping surface along the rotation direction of the sound bar 24 and a vertical surface formed at the point where the sloping surface terminates. The sloping surface and the vertical surface of the hook-up protrusion 242 can cooperate with the plurality of sound protrusions 44 provided on the operating part 40 to generate a clicking noise.
[0100] The storage section 20 is provided with a concave-convex portion 25. The concave-convex portion 25 is formed at a certain interval on the inner peripheral surface of the storage section 20, which suppresses the rotation of the pressurizing portion 60 provided inside the storage section 20, thereby enabling the pressurizing portion 60 to rise or fall.
[0101] The sidewall of the storage section 20 is continuously recessed inward along the height direction, thereby forming a concave-convex portion 25. That is, as the sidewall is recessed inward, the concave-convex portion 25 can have a shape that protrudes from the inner surface of the sidewall and is recessed from the outer surface of the sidewall.
[0102] The protrusion 25 can have a curved shape that bulges inward. In this case, the pressurizing portion 60 can have a recessed, curved groove 61 on its periphery that engages with the protrusion 25. To suppress rotation of the pressurizing portion 60, the storage portion 20 needs to engage with the pressurizing portion 60 via the protrusion structure; however, in this embodiment, the protrusion structure is formed into a curved shape, thereby minimizing leakage of the contents between the storage portion 20 and the pressurizing portion 60.
[0103] like Figure 15 As shown, the raised surface of the protrusion 25 can be configured as an arc with an angle of less than 180 degrees (preferably less than 150 degrees). That is, the curved surface of the protrusion 25 is an arc smaller than a semicircle, and can have a relatively gently rising shape. The two ends of the curved surface of the protrusion 25 can be connected to the sidewall of the storage section 20 at an angle of more than 120 degrees. For reference, to aid understanding, Figure 15 The raised curved surface of the protrusion 25 and the groove 610 of the pressure part 60 appear to be separate, but they are actually tightly attached to prevent leakage of contents.
[0104] The height of the protrusion 25 determines the lifting range of the pressurizing section 60. The upper end of the protrusion 25 determines the point at which the pressurizing section 60 rises to its maximum extent. The protrusion 25 may have its upper end positioned above the frame 22. It should be noted that the protrusion 25 has a shape that is recessed on the outer surface of the sidewall of the storage section 20, so the upper end of the protrusion 25 can be filled by the frame 22 to prevent leakage of contents along the protrusion 25. That is, the frame 22 may be configured to fill the upper part of the protrusion 25 on the outer sidewall.
[0105] Furthermore, in a similar manner, the protrusion 25 can be formed with a protruding end 251. The protruding end 251 is located on the outer side of the sidewall and can have a shape that cuts off the protrusion 25 in the height direction. Even if the contents leak into the lower part of the portion of the outer surface of the sidewall that is recessed due to the protrusion 25, the contents are blocked by the protruding end 251, which can prevent upward leakage.
[0106] As an example, if the contents leak between the storage section 20 and the operating section 40, the contents may flow into the lower portion through the concave curved surface of the uneven portion 25 provided on the side of the storage section 20. Specifically, when the shaft 50 rotates, due to the rotational force of the stud 52, a phase change occurs in the contents, and the contents with enhanced fluidity may flow out along the gap between the stud 52 and the pressurizing section 60. At this time, the leaked contents rise along the outer peripheral surface of the storage section 20, thus potentially causing leakage.
[0107] At this point, if the contents leak upwards along the concave curved surface of the protrusion 25, there is a problem that it will leak to the outside through the gap between the ejector portion 30 and the storage portion 20. However, according to this embodiment, in the concave curved surface portion of the protrusion 25, a protruding end 251 can be filled at at least one location along the vertical direction. The protruding end 251 cuts through the concave curved surface of the protrusion 25, thereby preventing the contents from leaking along the concave curved surface of the protrusion 25.
[0108] The protruding end 251 can be formed in a shape that is continuous with the outer surface of the storage section 20, but it can also be formed to protrude more than the side of the storage section 20, similar to the frame 22.
[0109] To ensure the lifting range of the pressurizing section 60, the protrusions 25 on the side wall of the storage section 20 are formed to have sufficient height, so that the serrated protrusions 21 of the storage section 20 can be arranged in the height direction at the same position as at least a portion of the protrusions 25. In this case, the serrated protrusions 21 can be provided among multiple protrusions 25.
[0110] The auxiliary coupling portion 26 is provided on the outside of the storage body 20a and can be configured to rotate relative to the storage body 20a. The auxiliary coupling portion 26 may include an outer protrusion 261, a first coupling groove 262, a first coupling protrusion 263, and an inner protrusion 264.
[0111] The outer protrusion 261 may be provided on the upper edge of the auxiliary connecting portion 26. The outer protrusion 261 may be assembled with a plurality of snap-fit protrusions 12 provided on the cover portion 10. It should be noted that even if the outer protrusion 261 of the auxiliary connecting portion 26 is engaged with the snap-fit protrusions 12 of the cover portion 10, relative rotation of the cover portion 10 with reference to the auxiliary connecting portion 26 is still allowed.
[0112] The first mating groove 262 can be configured as an annular recess on the outer peripheral surface of the auxiliary mating portion 26. For example... Figure 17 As shown, the first engagement groove 262 can be assembled with the second engagement protrusion 46 of the operating part 40. At least the first engagement groove 262 and the second engagement protrusion 46 can be configured as an annular shape.
[0113] The first engaging protrusion 263 is configured to protrude from the outer peripheral surface of the auxiliary engaging portion 26, and at least a portion of it can overlap and be disposed on the first engaging groove 262. Multiple first engaging protrusions 263 can be formed, which can be assembled with multiple second engaging grooves 47 provided in the operating portion 40.
[0114] In the operating part 40, the second engaging groove 47 can be configured to cut off the shape of the second engaging protrusion 46, which can limit the engagement angle between the first engaging protrusion 263 and the second engaging groove 47. That is, when the auxiliary engaging part 26 and the operating part 40 are connected to each other through the first engaging protrusion 263 and the second engaging groove 47, the relative rotation of the operating part 40 relative to the auxiliary engaging part 26 is restricted. Therefore, if the user rotates the operating part 40, the auxiliary engaging part 26 will also rotate. It should be noted that, as described above, the cover part 10 can rotate relative to the auxiliary engaging part 26.
[0115] The inner protrusion 264 can protrude from the inner peripheral surface of the auxiliary joint 26 in a manner that is close to the outer peripheral surface of the storage body 20a. The inner protrusion 264 is configured in a ring shape and can be used to achieve a seal between the auxiliary joint 26 and the storage body 20a.
[0116] like Figure 18 As shown, when the inner protrusion 264 of the auxiliary joint 26 is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the storage body 20a, it can prevent the contents from leaking to the outside through the gap between the inner peripheral surface of the auxiliary joint 26 and the outer peripheral surface of the storage body 20a.
[0117] In particular, the storage body 20a has a side wall with a protrusion 25, and a protruding end 251 is provided at a point in the height direction of the recessed curved surface portion of the protrusion 25. The inner protrusion 264 of the auxiliary joint 26 is provided at the same height as the protruding end 251, so that it can fit tightly against the protruding end 251. Thus, the protruding end 251 can effectively prevent leakage between the storage body 20a and the auxiliary joint 26.
[0118] Based on the auxiliary connecting portion 26, the cover portion 10 can be connected at the upper part, and the operating portion 40 can be connected at the lower part. When the outer protrusion 261 of the auxiliary connecting portion 26 and the snap-fit protrusion 12 of the cover portion 10 engage, the auxiliary connecting portion 26 and the cover portion 10 are connected in a rotatable manner. Conversely, when the first engaging protrusion 263 of the auxiliary connecting portion 26 and the second engaging groove 47 of the operating portion 40 engage, the auxiliary connecting portion 26 and the operating portion 40 are connected in a non-rotatable manner. Furthermore, the auxiliary connecting portion 26 is configured such that its relative rotation with respect to the storage body 20a is unrestricted.
[0119] When a user grips the cover 10 with strong pressure on the side and rotates the operating part 40, there is a risk of the contents being ejected if the auxiliary connecting part 26 rotates relative to the operating part 40. However, according to this embodiment, the operating part 40 and the auxiliary connecting part 26 are configured as a single rotating unit. Thus, when the user applies pressure to the side of the cover 10 or the like to suppress the rotation of the auxiliary connecting part 26, the rotation of the operating part 40, which is integrated with the auxiliary connecting part 26, is suppressed, thereby eliminating the risk of the contents being ejected.
[0120] In this embodiment, the operating part 40, the shaft part 50, and the auxiliary connecting part 26, which are integrated and rotate together, can be defined as the first group, and the ejection part 30, the storage body 20a, and the pressurizing part 60, which are integrated and rotate together, can be defined as the second group. The first group and the second group can rotate relative to each other. In this embodiment, there may be a situation where the second group rotates while the first group is stationary, or the first group rotates while the second group is stationary.
[0121] As an example, the situation where the first group is stationary and the second group is rotating could be a state where the user grasps the operating part 40 and rotates the ejection part 30 while the pressurizing part 60 and other components rotate. Conversely, the situation where the second group is stationary and the first group is rotating could be a state where the user grasps the ejection part 30 and rotates the operating part 40 while the shaft part 50 and other components rotate.
[0122] The ejection section 30 can be configured such that the lower part is open and the upper part covers the open upper part of the storage section 20. The ejection section 30 can be provided with an ejection port 31 for ejecting contents and can be assembled and fixed to the upper outer peripheral surface of the storage section 20.
[0123] The ejector portion 30 is attached to the storage portion 20 around the upper outer periphery of the storage portion 20 and in a manner that restricts relative rotation. The ejector portion 30 includes an ejector outlet 31, an annular groove 32, a fixing protrusion 33, and a sealing rib 34. The ejector outlet 31 may be located at the top to eject the contents contained in the storage portion 20 to the outside. The ejector outlet 31 can be sealed when the cover protrusion 11 of the cover portion 10 is inserted.
[0124] The annular groove 32 can be provided in a ring shape on the inner peripheral surface of the ejection section 30, and can be assembled with the frame 22 which is provided in a ring shape on the outer peripheral surface of the storage section 20. Alternatively, the annular groove 32 can be formed on the outer peripheral surface of the storage section 20, and the frame 22 can be formed on the inner peripheral surface of the ejection section 30.
[0125] The annular groove 32 of the ejector section 30 and the frame 22 of the storage section 20 are used to maintain their connection, not to restrict relative rotation. It should be noted that the relative rotation of the ejector section 30 relative to the storage section 20 is restricted, and this restriction is achieved by the fixing protrusion 33 described later.
[0126] The fixing protrusion 33 engages with the serrated protrusion 21 of the storage section 20, thereby limiting the relative rotation of the ejection section 30 relative to the storage section 20. The serrated protrusion 21 of the storage section 20 has a shape in which multiple unit serrations are arranged at certain intervals, and the fixing protrusion 33 can be inserted into the interval between adjacent multiple unit serrations. Therefore, by the fixing protrusion 33 of the ejection section 30 engaging with the serrated protrusion 21 of the storage section 20, the relative rotation of the ejection section 30 relative to the storage section 20 is limited.
[0127] Furthermore, the ejector portion 30 may have multiple fixing protrusions 33, and the fixing protrusions 33 may be arranged in a serrated shape. As shown in the figure, the fixing protrusions 33 are arranged at certain intervals on the entire inner circumferential surface of the ejector portion 30. In this case, the interval of the fixing protrusions 33 may correspond to the size of a unit serration.
[0128] like Figure 16 As shown, the ejection portion 30 can be formed such that the lower portion with the fixing protrusion 33 has a relatively larger inner diameter than the upper portion with the annular groove 32. As described above, this is to prevent the fixing protrusion 33 of the ejection portion 30 from being interfered with by the frame 22 of the storage portion 20, which engages with the annular groove 32 of the ejection portion 30.
[0129] 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 periphery of the upper end of the storage portion 20. The outer periphery of the upper end of the storage portion 20 is covered by the side wall of the ejection portion 30, while the inner periphery abuts against the sealing rib 34, so a double seal can be achieved between the storage portion 20 and the ejection portion 30.
[0130] The sealing rib 34 is ring-shaped and can fit snugly against the entire inner circumference of the upper end of the storage section 20. Furthermore, the outer circumference of the sealing rib 34 may be provided with a sealing protrusion 341 that abuts against the inner circumference of the upper end of the storage section 20. The sealing protrusion 341 blocks the gap between the sealing rib 34 and the upper end of the storage section 20, thereby preventing leakage of the contents.
[0131] To enhance the sealing between the ejection section 30 and the storage section 20, such as Figure 16As shown, a thickness reduction portion 201 may be formed at the upper end of the side wall of the storage section 20. The thickness reduction portion 201 is formed at the uppermost end of the side wall of the storage section 20, and the frame 22 provided on the side wall of the storage section 20 may be provided below the thickness reduction portion 201.
[0132] The thickness reduction section 201 is formed at the uppermost end of the sidewall of the storage section 20, and can have a shape with a relatively smaller thickness in the inward and outward directions compared to the lower side. As an example, the thickness reduction section 201 of the storage section 20 has a shape in which its thickness gradually decreases as it approaches the top, and the inner side surface of the ejection section 30 can have a corresponding shape. That is, the portion of the sidewall of the ejection section 30 facing the thickness reduction section 201 of the storage section 20 can have a shape in which its thickness gradually increases in the inward and outward directions as it approaches the top.
[0133] The operating unit 40 has a shape that is open at the top and sealed at the bottom, and can be configured to cover the lower part of the storage unit 20. Furthermore, the operating unit 40 is rotatably assembled to the lower side of the storage unit 20. By rotating the operating unit 40, the pressurizing unit 60 rises or falls, so the operating unit 40 can control the ejection of the contents.
[0134] To assemble the shaft portion 50, the operating portion 40 may include a central protrusion 41, a peripheral protrusion 42, and an annular protrusion 43. To house the storage portion 20, it may include an annular protrusion 43, a sound protrusion 44, and a placement protrusion 45. Furthermore, to connect with the auxiliary coupling portion 26, the operating portion 40 may include a second coupling protrusion 46 and a second coupling groove 47.
[0135] A central protrusion 41 is located at the center of the inner bottom surface of the operating part 40 and can engage with the shaft part 50. The central protrusion 41 protrudes upward from the bottom surface of the operating part 40 and can be inserted into the insertion port 521 of the shaft part 50. Thus, the centers of the operating part 40 and the shaft part 50 can be aligned.
[0136] Peripheral protrusions 42 are provided around the central protrusion 41. Multiple peripheral protrusions 42 may be radially arranged around the central protrusion 41. The peripheral protrusions 42 can engage with insertion grooves 511 provided on the shaft portion 50. Corresponding to the multiple peripheral protrusions 42 provided on the operating portion 40, the shaft portion 50 also has multiple insertion grooves 511, thereby restricting relative rotation of the shaft portion 50 relative to the operating portion 40 when the peripheral protrusions 42 engage with the insertion grooves 511.
[0137] An annular protrusion 43 is provided around the central protrusion 41 and can be formed to connect multiple peripheral protrusions 42. The annular protrusion 43 is shaped to connect the outer sides of the peripheral protrusions 42, so that the fixing plate 51 of the shaft portion 50 is placed on the inner side. Thus, the annular protrusion 43 can ensure that the shaft portion 50 rotates stably without shaking.
[0138] Furthermore, the annular protrusion 43 can stably guide the relative rotation of the storage section 20 relative to the operation section 40. Specifically, at least a portion of the sound bar 24 provided on the storage section 20, namely the hook protrusion 242, can face the outer side of the annular protrusion 43 in the inward and outward directions. Therefore, the storage section 20 rotates while the sound bar 24 is guided along the outer peripheral surface of the annular protrusion 43, so the annular protrusion 43 can suppress positional deviation and the like when the storage section 20 rotates.
[0139] That is, the annular protrusion 43 can align the center of the shaft portion 50 with the center of the operation portion 40 through its inner end, and can align the center of the storage portion 20 with the center of the operation portion 40 through its outer end. In this way, the centers of the storage portion 20, the operation portion 40 and the shaft portion 50 are aligned with each other, thus ensuring coaxiality.
[0140] The sound protrusion 44 can be provided around the periphery of the peripheral protrusion 42. In particular, the sound protrusion 44 is provided around the annular protrusion 43, and cooperates with the sound bar 24 provided in the storage section 20 to provide a click sensation when the operation section 40 and the storage section 20 rotate relative to each other.
[0141] Multiple sound protrusions 44 may be radially arranged around the annular protrusion 43. In order to provide a continuous click sensation when rotating the operating part 40, the multiple sound protrusions 44 are formed in a relatively larger number than the peripheral protrusions 42, and may be arranged in a serrated pattern.
[0142] The sound protrusion 44 can be formed into various shapes of the surface that abuts against the sound bar 24. The sound protrusion 44 may include an inclined surface with a curved shape along the relative rotation direction of the storage section 20 based on the operation section 40, and a vertical surface formed at the location where the inclined surface terminates. The inclined surface and vertical surface of the plurality of sound protrusions 44 can be formed to correspond to the inclined surface and vertical surface of the hook protrusion 242 of the storage section 20.
[0143] The storage unit 20 is provided with a sound bar 24 having an inclined surface and a vertical surface with a curved shape along the rotation direction, and the operation unit 40 is provided with a plurality of sound protrusions 44 having an inclined surface and a vertical surface with a curved shape along the rotation direction. Therefore, when the operation unit 40 is rotated relative to the storage unit 20, the inclined surface of the sound protrusion 44 rotates along the inclined surface of the sound bar 24, and the vertical surface of the sound protrusion 44 passes over the vertical surface of the sound bar 24 to generate sound. Furthermore, when the vertical surface of the sound protrusion 44 passes over the vertical surface of the sound bar 24, the two vertical surfaces face each other, which can prevent the operation unit 40 from rotating in the opposite direction.
[0144] The central protrusion 41, peripheral protrusion 42, and sound protrusion 44 are formed sequentially along a direction away from the center of the inner bottom surface of the operating section 40, and can be positioned to overlap each other in the height direction. This embodiment, through the configuration of these multiple protrusions, minimizes the height occupied by the structure used to realize functions such as placing the shaft 50 on the operating section 40 and providing a click sensation for relative rotation of the storage section 20. Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the space for storing contents within the overall height of the contents container 1 is maximized, thereby improving user satisfaction.
[0145] According to this embodiment, in order to place the shaft portion 50 on the operation portion 40, a peripheral protrusion 42 and an insertion groove 511 are provided, and in order to generate sound when the operation portion 40 rotates relative to the storage portion 20, a sound protrusion 44 and a sound strip 24 are provided. In this case, when the peripheral protrusion 42 and the insertion groove 511 are referred to as the first cooperating means, and the sound protrusion 44 and the sound strip 24 are referred to as the second cooperating means, the first cooperating means and the second cooperating means can be disposed between the lower end of the storage portion 20 and the bottom surface of the operation portion 40.
[0146] When the height required to set the first cooperative means is A, and the height required to set the second cooperative means is B, if the first and second cooperative means are configured at different heights, the portion of the operation unit 40 located below the storage unit 20 needs to have a height of A+B or more. In this case, the contents container 1 will definitely extend downwards from the storage unit 20 by a height of A+B.
[0147] However, according to this embodiment, by arranging the first cooperative means and the second cooperative means at the same height, the height of the portion of the operation unit 40 located below the storage unit 20 can be minimized to a height of level A or B.
[0148] Therefore, according to this embodiment, in the content container 1 having a stable rotation function of the shaft portion 50 and a sound-emitting function when the operation portion 40 rotates, the overall height of the content container 1 is avoided to be too large, while the storage volume of the content in the content container 1 is sufficiently ensured.
[0149] Multiple placement protrusions 45 are provided radially around the sound protrusion 44. The placement protrusions 45 can be formed in a number and position corresponding to the peripheral protrusions 42. It should be noted that the peripheral protrusions 42 have a shape that protrudes upward from the bottom surface of the operating part 40, while the placement protrusions 45 can have a shape that protrudes inward from the side wall of the operating part 40.
[0150] The lower end of the storage section 20 can engage with the inner side of a plurality of placement protrusions 45, thereby enabling the lower end of the storage section 20 to be centered relative to the operating section 40. Furthermore, the placement protrusions 45 and the lower end of the storage section 20 interfere with each other in the inward and outward directions, thereby separating the side wall of the storage section 20 from the inner side of the operating section 40, thus improving the ease of rotation operation of the operating section 40.
[0151] Furthermore, by providing the placement protrusion 45, the structural strength of the operating part 40 can be improved, and the operating part 40 can be effectively prevented from detaching from the storage part 20, etc.
[0152] The shaft portion 50 is assembled to the inner bottom of the operating portion 40. The shaft portion 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 operating portion 40. A plurality of insertion slots 511 can be formed radially around the periphery of the fixing plate 51. The insertion slots 511 of the fixing plate 51 can be formed in the same number and with the same shape as the peripheral protrusions 42 of the operating portion 40, so that they can engage with each other.
[0153] 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. Furthermore, when the fixing plate 51 engages with the peripheral protrusion 42 of the operating part 40 in the insertion groove 511, the outer periphery of the fixing plate 51 can be placed inside the annular protrusion 43 of the operating part 40. Therefore, the fixing plate 51 can be provided in an appropriate position at the bottom of the operating part 40.
[0154] The stud 52 has a shape that extends upward from the center of the fixing plate 51 and can be threaded (not shown in the figure). The thread of the stud 52 can be threadedly connected to the pressure part 60. When the stud 52 rotates, it inhibits the rotation of the pressure part 60, which can move up and down along the height direction of the stud 52.
[0155] The stud 52 can engage with the central protrusion 41 located on the inner bottom surface of the operating part 40. The stud 52 has an insertion port 521 at its base end for inserting the central protrusion 41. When the central protrusion 41 enters the insertion port 521, the coaxiality of the shaft part 50 and the operating part 40 can be ensured.
[0156] The stud 52 may have a hollow shaft shape, and may have a shape that blocks the upper end to prevent contents from entering and opens the lower end to form an insertion port 521.
[0157] The engagement of the insertion port 521 of the stud 52 with the central protrusion 41 of the operating part 40 is used to align the centers of the operating part 40 and the shaft part 50. Similarly, the engagement of the periphery of the fixing plate 51 with the annular protrusion 43 of the operating part 40 also serves to align the centers of the operating part 40 and the shaft part 50. It should be noted that the insertion groove 511 of the fixing plate 51 and the peripheral protrusion 42 of the operating part 40 can be used to suppress relative rotation between the shaft part 50 and the operating part 40. Undoubtedly, the shape of the insertion port 521, the central protrusion 41, the annular protrusion 43, etc., can also be formed as non-circular to ensure the integrated rotation function of the operating part 40 and the shaft part 50.
[0158] The stud 52 may have a rising limiting portion (not shown) at its end for disengaging from the pressurizing portion 60, thereby limiting the maximum rising position of the pressurizing portion 60. The rising limiting portion is formed without threads, thus limiting the maximum rising position of the pressurizing portion 60 to a location separate from the ejection portion 30. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the upper surface of the pressurizing portion 60 does not directly contact the ejection portion 30, thereby preventing unnecessary leakage of the contents.
[0159] The pressurizing unit 60 pushes the contents through the operation of the operating unit 40. The pressurizing unit 60 engages with the shaft 50 and rises when the operating unit 40 rotates relative to the storage unit 20, thereby pushing the contents.
[0160] The operating part 40 and the shaft part 50 rotate as a unit, while the pressurizing part 60 is formed inside the storage part 20 and cannot rotate. The operating part 40 rotates relative to the storage part 20, so when the operating part 40 rotates, the pressurizing part 60 is placed in a non-rotating manner.
[0161] For this purpose, the pressurizing part 60 may be formed with a groove 61 that engages with the protrusion 25 of the storage part 20. The sidewall of the storage part 20 is formed with the protrusion 25, and the pressurizing part 60 may have a groove 61 with a concave curved surface shape on its periphery that engages with the raised curved surface of the protrusion 25. The shape of the groove 61 may be formed to be similar to the shape described above for the protrusion 25.
[0162] When the shaft 50 rotates via the operating part 40, the groove 61 of the pressure part 60 engages with the protrusion 25 of the storage part 20, thus suppressing the rotation of the pressure part 60. In this case, the pressure part 60 can move up and down along the stud 52 of the shaft 50.
[0163] The inner surface of the pressurizing part 60 may be formed with a thread 62. The thread 62 of the pressurizing part 60 can engage with the thread of the stud 52. When the operating part 40 rotates and the stud 52 rotates, the pressurizing part 60 can move along the length direction of the stud 52 because the rotation of the storage part 20 is restricted.
[0164] A thread 62 that engages with the stud 52 can be formed on the lower side of the pressurizing section 60. Thus, even if the stud 52 has an upward limiting part, the pressurizing section 60 can still eject the contents in a manner that minimizes the amount of contents remaining. That is, the pressurizing section 60 can fully eject the contents contained in the storage section 20 without directly contacting the ejection section 30.
[0165] That is, after the user separates the cover 10 from the contents container 1 of this embodiment, the user rotates the operating part 40 while holding the operating part 40 and the ejection part 30. At this time, the rotation of the ejection part 30, the storage part 20 and the pressurizing part 60 is restricted, the operating part 40 and the shaft part 50 rotate together, and the pressurizing part 60 and the shaft part 50 rotate relative to each other while being engaged by a threaded connection, thereby rising and ejecting the contents.

Those skilled in the art should understand that various combinations, modifications, and applications not shown in the embodiments can be made without departing from the essential technical content of the embodiments.
