Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cosmetic container, and more particularly to a compact container that includes a double mesh to prevent leakage of cosmetics in the form of powder, cream, gel, etc., contained therein. [Background technology]

[0002] Cosmetics such as foundation are usually provided in compact containers. Existing compact containers, also called "compacts," generally have a simple structure in which the contents (cosmetics) are housed in a lower case and an upper case is hinged to the lower case. A powder puff is often placed on top of the powder product, and a mirror is attached to the inside of the upper case.

[0003] The contents contained in compacts are provided in the form of powders, creams, gels, etc., and the storage space containing such contents is exposed through a relatively large opening, so it is important to prevent leakage of the contents during distribution of the compact and while the compact is being carried by the user. This issue becomes even more important when considering that the contents of compacts are typically cosmetics, which can cause significant contamination if they come into contact with surrounding objects.

[0004] To minimize spillage of the contents of a compact container outside the container while it is in use, a mesh is sometimes attached to the compact container to hide the opening to the contents storage space. The mesh can be made of a porous material, and the user presses the mesh with a puff to allow the contents underneath to adhere to the puff.

[0005] Meanwhile, to minimize leakage of the contents during the distribution process of compacts, a plastic film may be placed on or attached to the contents of the compact. After purchasing a compact, a user can remove the plastic film and access the contents inside the compact with a tool such as a puff. The plastic film may also have the seller's logo printed on it.

[0006] However, even if a compact container is equipped with a plastic film, leakage of the contents cannot be completely prevented. This is because the powders, creams, and gels contained in compact containers tend to easily penetrate the gaps between the components that make up the compact container. Impacts during distribution have been found to cause the contents of the compact container to leak through the gaps between the components for attaching the mesh and the container body and / or the gaps between the components for filling the contents into the storage space, resulting in the contents being deposited on the plastic film. If the contents are deposited on the plastic film, consumers' opinion of the product will inevitably be negatively affected, regardless of how high the quality of the contents or how well-known the product's trademark. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] Therefore, the present invention has been developed to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a compact container that can prevent leakage of contents during use and distribution without sacrificing convenience of use.

[0008] Other objects of the present invention will become clearer on the basis of the following examples. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, one embodiment of the compact container of the present invention comprises: a container body having an inner wall and a ledge, wherein the inner wall forms a storage space inside for storing contents, and the ledge extends inward from the upper part of the inner wall along the edge of an opening communicating with the storage space to form the opening inside; a mesh ring attached to the upper part of the container body; a use surface mesh made of a material having a large number of fine pores, the edge of which is fixed between the container body and the mesh ring, and the center of which is configured to cover the opening at the upper part of the ledge; and a filter mesh made of a material having a large number of fine pores, the edge of which is fixed to the container body, and the center of which is configured to cover the opening at the lower part of the ledge.

[0010] The compact case according to the present invention may have one or more of the following embodiments: For example, the mesh ring may include a flange having a lower surface facing the upper surface of the ledge, and an inner rim extending downward from the flange and having an inner peripheral surface facing the outer peripheral surface of the inner wall, and the edge of the use surface mesh may be fixed between the upper surface of the ledge and the lower surface of the flange, and between the outer peripheral surface of the inner wall and the inner peripheral surface of the inner rim.

[0011] A support portion protruding upward may be formed on the inside of the ledge, and the central portion of the use surface mesh may be supported by the support portion, and the upper surface of the central portion of the use surface mesh may be positioned at a height corresponding to the upper surface of the flange.

[0012] A fixing protrusion extending downward may be formed on the lower surface of the ledge, and the fixing protrusion may fix the filter mesh to the ledge.

[0013] The mesh ring may include an inner rim whose inner peripheral surface faces the outer peripheral surface of the inner wall; and an outer rim located outside the inner rim at a predetermined distance from the inner rim, and the container body may include an upper engagement rim located outside the inner wall at a predetermined distance from the inner wall, and the upper engagement rim may be fixed between the inner rim and the outer rim.

[0014] The compact container may further include a sealing tape attached to an upper portion of the mesh ring.

[0015] The compact container may further include a base cap coupled to the lower portion of the container body and defining the storage space therein. The base cap may include, for example, a base plate covering the lower portion of the storage space; a sealing protrusion extending upward from the base plate and configured to contact the inner peripheral surface of the inner wall with its outer circumferential surface; and a closing rim extending upward from the base plate and configured to contact the outer peripheral surface of the inner wall with its inner circumferential surface. Alternatively, the base cap may include a base plate covering the lower portion of the storage space; a receiving wall extending upward from the base plate and configured to contact the inner peripheral surface of the inner wall with its outer circumferential surface; and a closing rim extending upward from the base plate and configured to contact the outer peripheral surface of the inner wall with its inner circumferential surface. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] According to the means for solving the problems of the present invention as described above, various effects can be expected, including the following: However, the present invention is not established unless all of the following effects are achieved.

[0017] A compact container according to one embodiment of the present invention has a double mesh structure including a mesh on the application surface and a filter mesh, which prevents leakage of the contents from the application surface mesh during use and prevents leakage of the contents from the contact area between the component that secures the mesh on the application surface and the container body during distribution. This compact container structure effectively prevents the contents from being exposed without sacrificing convenience in use, allowing the compact container to maintain a clean and luxurious appearance. Furthermore, the compact container according to one embodiment of the present invention utilizes a method in which the contents are filled from the bottom and the base cap is attached, making it possible to utilize the double mesh structure and fill the contents without opening and closing the lid, thereby improving filling efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description with reference to the accompanying drawings, the same or corresponding components will be given the same reference numerals regardless of the drawing symbols, and duplicate descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0020] For ease of explanation, terms such as "inside," "outside," "upper," and "lower" are used in this specification. In the following description, "inside" refers to the side closer to the interior of the compact case 1000, and "outside" refers to the side farther from the interior of the compact case 1000. Meanwhile, "upper" refers to the direction in which the storage space 105 of the compact case 1000 is open, and "lower" refers to the opposite direction. Of course, when actually using the compact case 1000 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the upper direction referred to in this specification may not coincide with the actual upper direction.

[0021] Fig. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a compact case 1000 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 1(a) shows a state in which a lid member 200 is closed on a case body 100, Fig. 1(b) shows a state in which the lid member 200 is open and a sealing tape 60 is exposed, and Fig. 1(c) shows a state in which the sealing tape 60 has been removed. Figs. 2 and 3 are an exploded perspective view and a cross-sectional view, respectively, of the compact case 1000.

[0022] 1 to 3, a compact case 1000 according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a case body 100, a cover member 200, a mesh ring 300, an application surface mesh 420, a filter mesh 440, and a base cap 500. The compact case 1000 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 may be used by being attached to the inside of a separate lower case and upper case, or may be used in the state shown in FIG. 1 without any additional components.

[0023] The container body 100 forms an internal storage space 105 and can serve as a body to which other components can be coupled. Figure 4 is a cross-sectional perspective view showing the container body 100 in more detail. As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the container body 100 can broadly include an inner wall 110, a ledge 120, an upper engagement rim 140, an outer wall 160, and a lower engagement rim 180.

[0024] The inner wall 110 of the container body 100 may form a storage space 105 therein for storing contents (not shown). The inner diameter and length of the inner wall 110 in the vertical direction may be determined taking into consideration the size of the storage space 105, the flexibility of the use surface mesh 420 and the filter mesh 440, etc. In the example shown in the figure, the inner wall 110 of the container body 100 is shown as having a cylindrical shape, but the inner wall 110 and the container body 100 may be embodied in various shapes.

[0025] The ledge 120 can extend inward from the top of the inner wall 110. The ledge 120 can form an opening 125 therein that communicates with the storage space 105, and thus the ledge 120 can be formed along the edge of the opening 125.

[0026] A support portion 122 may be formed on the inner side of the ledge 120. The support portion 122 may be formed in a shape that protrudes upward from a portion corresponding to the inner side of the upper surface of the ledge 120. The support portion 122 may play a role in supporting a center portion 422 of the use surface mesh 420.

[0027] Meanwhile, fixing protrusions 124 may be formed on the lower surface of the ledge 120. The fixing protrusions 124 may have a shape that narrows downward so that their lower ends are sharp, and may be formed at predetermined intervals across the entire ledge 120. The fixing protrusions 124 can be used to secure the filter mesh 440.

[0028] The upper engagement rim 140 may be formed on the outer side of the inner wall 110 at a predetermined distance from the inner wall 110, and may extend upward from a first bridge 115 connected to the inner wall 110. The upper engagement rim 140 may be used to fix the mesh ring 300 to the container body 100, and for this purpose, protrusions and / or grooves for coupling may be formed on the inner and / or outer circumferential surfaces of the upper engagement rim 140. In the example shown in Figures 3 and 4, an engagement groove 142 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the upper engagement rim 140.

[0029] The outer wall 160 may be formed at a predetermined distance from the upper engagement rim 140 on the outside thereof, and may extend upward from a second bridge 165 connected to the upper engagement rim 140. Of course, the second bridge 165 may be the same member as the first bridge 115. The outer wall 160 forms the outermost exterior of the container body 100 and may cover the components of the container body 100 and the mesh ring 300 located inside thereof. A hinge portion 190 for connecting the lid member 200 may be formed at a specified position of the outer wall 160.

[0030] If the compact container 1000 shown in FIG. 1 includes a separate lower case (not shown), the container body 100 may be configured so that it is completely mounted inside the lower case and the outer wall 160 is not exposed to the outside, or at least a portion of the outer wall 160 and other components may form the appearance of the cosmetic container product together with the lower case.

[0031] The lower engagement rim 180 may be formed on the outer side of the inner wall 110 at a predetermined distance from the inner wall 110, and may extend downward from a first bridge 115 connected to the inner wall 110. The lower engagement rim 180 may be used to secure the base cap 500, and for this purpose, protrusions and / or grooves for coupling may be formed on the inner and / or outer circumferential surfaces of the lower engagement rim 180. In the example shown in Figures 3 and 4, a coupling protrusion 182 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the lower engagement rim 180.

[0032] 3 and 4, the upper portion of the inner peripheral surface of the lower engaging rim 180 may protrude further inward than the lower portion. Due to this shape, when the base cap 500 is coupled to the lower portion of the container body 100 and the upper end of the sealing rim 540 of the base cap 500 reaches the upper end of the lower engaging rim 180, the inner peripheral surface of the lower engaging rim 180, which protrudes further inward, can press the sealing rim 540 toward the inner wall 110. As a result, the lower engaging rim 180 and the inner wall 110 come into closer contact with each other, resulting in a more watertight seal. Furthermore, the lower engaging rim 180 further presses the lower end of the inner wall 110 toward the sealing protrusion 520, thereby improving the sealing performance between the inner wall 110 and the sealing protrusion 520.

[0033] The cover member 200 may be hingedly coupled to the container body 100 to cover the opening 125 leading to the receiving space 105. A hinge portion 290 may be formed in the cover member 200, and a hole through which a hinge pin (not shown) can pass may be formed in the hinge portion 290. The cover member 200 may be arranged such that the hole in the hinge portion 290 is aligned with the hole 195 in the hinge portion 190 of the container body 100, and when a hinge pin (not shown) is inserted through the holes in the hinge portions 190 and 290, the cover member 200 may be coupled to be rotatable around the hinge pin.

[0034] If necessary, the cover member 200 may be embodied in a structure in which a sealing ring 220 is coupled to the cover body 210. The sealing ring 220 may be coupled along the edge of the lower surface of the cover body 210, and when the cover member 200 is closed to hide the opening 125, it may be tightly coupled to the outer wall 160 of the container body 100 as shown in FIG.

[0035] On the other hand, the lower surface of the lid body 210 may have at least a partially flat shape. For example, as shown in Fig. 3, a portion of the lower surface of the lid body 210 may be located on the flange 320 of the mesh ring 300, and in that portion, both the lower surface of the lid body 210 and the upper surface of the flange 320 may have a flat shape.

[0036] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 , a sealing tape 60 may be provided between the lid member 200 and the container body 100. In one embodiment of the present invention, the sealing tape 60 may be sized to cover at least a portion of the flange 320 of the mesh ring 300 and the inner surface of the use-side mesh 420, and may be attached to the flange 320 of the mesh ring 300. The sealing tape 60 may be made of a transparent material or an opaque material with a logo or the like printed on it. The flat lower surface of the lid body 210 and the upper surface of the flange 320 may help secure the sealing tape 60 in a specified position. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the sealing tape 60 may be sized to correspond to the opening 125 and directly attached to the use-side mesh 420 exposed through the opening 125.

[0037] Compact case 1000 according to one embodiment of the present invention may be distributed with cover member 200 closed, as shown in FIG. 1(a). When a user who purchases compact case 1000 lifts cover member 200, sealing tape 60 covering opening 125 may be exposed, as shown in FIG. 1(b). The user may then separate sealing tape 60 to expose application surface mesh 420 exposed at opening 125, allowing the contents to be accessed with a tool such as a puff. A method of using compact case 1000 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail below.

[0038] 1 includes a separate upper case (not shown), the upper case can be coupled to the container body 100 or a separate lower case (not shown) so as to be covered over the lid member 200. That is, the top of the lid member 200 can form a recessed space for storing tools such as a puff (not shown), and the upper case can be covered over it to prevent the puff from being lost or contaminated. Of course, in some embodiments, the compact case 1000 may not include a separate upper case, in which case the lid member 200 can have a shape different from that shown in the drawings.

[0039] The mesh ring 300 can serve to connect the use surface mesh 420 to the container body 100. Figure 5 is a cross-sectional perspective view showing the mesh ring 300 in more detail. As shown in Figures 2, 3 and 5, the mesh ring 300 can broadly include a flange 320, an inner rim 330, and an outer rim 350.

[0040] The flange 320 is a portion formed such that its lower surface faces the ledge 120 of the container body 100. The flange 320 may have an overall flat shape, and may have a shape that surrounds the central portion 422 of the use-side mesh 420 exposed at the top of the container body 100 when the mesh ring 300 is coupled to the container body 100 together with the use-side mesh 420. As shown in FIG. 3 , the flange 320 may be located outside the portion of the ledge 120 where the support portion 122 is formed.

[0041] The inner rim 330 may extend downward from the flange 320. The inner rim 330 may be inserted between the inner wall 110 of the container body 100 and the upper engagement rim 140, with its inner circumferential surface facing the outer circumferential surface of the inner wall 110 of the container body 100 and its outer circumferential surface facing the inner circumferential surface of the upper engagement rim 140. Meanwhile, the upper engagement rim 140 of the container body 100 may be inserted between the inner rim 330 and the outer rim 350 of the mesh ring 300.

[0042] 3 and 5, the upper portion of the outer circumferential surface of the inner rim 330 can protrude further outward than the lower portion. With this shape, when the mesh ring 300 is coupled to the upper portion of the container body 100 and the upper end of the upper engaging rim 140 of the container body 100 reaches the top of the inner rim 330, the outer circumferential surface of the inner rim 330 that protrudes further outward presses the upper engaging rim 140 toward the outer rim 350, so that the upper engaging rim 140 is more firmly coupled to the outer rim 350.

[0043] Fixing protrusions 334 may be formed on the lower end of the inner rim 330. The fixing protrusions 334 may have a shape that narrows downward so that the lower end thereof is sharp, and may be formed at predetermined intervals across the entire inner rim 330. The fixing protrusions 334 may help to secure the use surface mesh 420.

[0044] The outer rim 350 may extend downwardly from the outer side of the inner rim 330 at a predetermined distance from the inner rim 330. The outer rim 350 may be configured to be inserted between the upper engagement rim 140 and the outer wall 160 of the container body 100, with its inner circumferential surface facing the outer circumferential surface of the upper engagement rim 140 and its outer circumferential surface facing the inner circumferential surface of the outer wall 160. As described above, the upper engagement rim 140 of the container body 100 may be inserted between the inner rim 330 and the outer rim 350 of the mesh ring 300. The outer rim 350 may be used to secure the mesh ring 300 to the container body 100, and for this purpose, the inner and / or outer circumferential surfaces of the outer rim 350 may have protrusions and / or grooves for coupling. In the example shown in Figures 3 and 5, an engagement protrusion 352 is formed on the inner surface of the outer rim 350, and the engagement protrusion 352 of the outer rim 350 can be inserted into the engagement groove 142 of the upper engagement rim 140 to connect the mesh ring 300 to the container body 100.

[0045] The mesh on the use surface 420 corresponds to the portion that covers the opening 125 that leads to the storage space 105 from above. The mesh on the use surface 420 may be made of a material with a large number of micropores. When a user wishes to use the contents of the compact case 1000, the user can press the mesh on the use surface 420 with a tool such as a puff, and the contents in the storage space 105 will stick to the puff through the micropores in the mesh on the use surface 420.

[0046] The use surface mesh 420 may include a central portion 422 and an edge portion 424. The central portion 422 corresponds to the portion of the use surface mesh 420 exposed through the opening 125 inside the mesh ring 300, and the edge portion 424 corresponds to the portion surrounding the central portion 422 and hidden by the container body 100 and the mesh ring 300. FIG. 2 illustrates the use surface mesh 420 as having a three-dimensional shape. The use surface mesh 420 may be manufactured, for example, as a metal mesh with micropores to provide a certain degree of structural strength. However, in one embodiment of the present invention, the use surface mesh 420 may be manufactured from a fiber material with limited structural strength and slight stretchability. In this case, the use surface mesh 420 may be manufactured in a flat circular shape, and may assume the three-dimensional shape shown in FIG. 2 upon contact with the container body 100 and the mesh ring 300. When the use surface mesh 420 is made of a material with a certain degree of structural strength, such as metal or synthetic resin, it is embodied in a mesh shape with micropores formed only in the center portion 422 of the use surface mesh 420, and it is also possible to omit micropores from the edge portion 424.

[0047] When the mesh ring 300 is coupled to the container body 100, the edge 424 of the use-side mesh 420 is coupled between the mesh ring 300 and the container body 100, and the use-side mesh 420 can be coupled at a specified position. For example, the use-side mesh 420 can first be positioned so that the edge 424 is aligned with a position corresponding to the lower end of the inner rim 330 of the mesh ring 300. The fixing protrusions 334 of the inner rim 330 have sharp lower ends, which can effectively fix the use-side mesh 420 with micropores formed therein. At this time, the use-side mesh 420 can be positioned in a slightly loose state without being tightly pulled.

[0048] When the mesh ring 300 is coupled to the container body 100 in this state, the inner rim 330 of the mesh ring 300 is inserted between the inner wall 110 and the upper engagement rim 140 of the container body 100, and the flange 320 of the mesh ring 300 rests on the ledge 120 of the container body 100, with the edge 424 of the use-side mesh 420 positioned therebetween and bent to conform to the shape of the contact portion between the mesh ring 300 and the container body 100. Thus, the edge 424 of the use-side mesh 420 can be primarily fixed by the fixing protrusions 334 and secondarily crimped and fixed between the inner rim 330 and the inner wall 110 and between the flange 320 and the ledge 120. Depending on the size of the use-side mesh 420, a portion of the edge 424 may be fixed between the inner rim 330 and the upper engagement rim 140, or between the upper engagement rim 140 and the outer rim 350.

[0049] As the use-side mesh 420 is bent along the shape of the contact area between the mesh ring 300 and the container body 100, the use-side mesh 420 is stretched as a whole, and the central portion 422 located at the opening 125 is tightly stretched and can have a flat shape. Meanwhile, the support portion 122 protruding upward from the ledge 120 of the container body 100 causes the central portion 422 of the use-side mesh 420 to be positioned higher inside the flange 320 than the edge portion 424, so that the central portion 422 of the use-side mesh 420 is on the same plane as or close to the upper surface of the flange 320 of the mesh ring 300, allowing for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance and more convenient use.

[0050] The filter mesh 440 corresponds to a portion that hides the opening 125 leading to the receiving space 105 from below. The filter mesh 440 may be made of a material with a large number of micropores. When a user wishes to use the contents of the compact case 1000, the user can press the use surface mesh 420 and the filter mesh 440 together with a tool such as a puff, and the contents in the receiving space 105 will adhere to the puff through the micropores of the filter mesh 440 and the use surface mesh 420.

[0051] The filter mesh 440 may also include a center portion and an edge portion. The center portion of the filter mesh 440 corresponds to the portion of the filter mesh 440 that is not hidden by the flange 320 of the mesh ring 300, and the edge portion of the filter mesh 440 corresponds to the portion surrounding the center portion and that is hidden by the flange 320. The filter mesh 440 may be made of the same material as the surface mesh 420, or may be made of a different material. The filter mesh 440 may be made of materials containing various fibers, metals, synthetic resins, polymers, etc.

[0052] The filter mesh 440 may have its edge attached to the lower surface of the ledge 120 of the container body 100. In addition, the fixing protrusions 124 formed on the lower surface of the ledge 120 have sharp lower ends, so that the filter mesh 440 having micropores can be effectively fixed.

[0053] The base cap 500 may be coupled to the lower part of the container body 100 to form the receiving space 105 at its upper part. That is, the base cap 500 may be coupled to the container body 100 to close the receiving space 105 from below. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional perspective view showing the base cap 500 in more detail. As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 6, the base cap 500 may broadly include a base plate 510, a sealing protrusion 520, a sealing rim 540, an engagement portion 580, and a flange 590.

[0054] The base plate 510 is a part that covers the lower part of the accommodating space 105, and is preferably formed with a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the lower engaging rim 180 of the container body 100. Of course, depending on the shape of the base cap 500, the base plate 510 may have a diameter equal to or larger than the inner diameter of the inner wall 100, or may have a diameter smaller than that.

[0055] The sealing protrusion 520 can be configured to protrude upward from the base plate 510 at a position corresponding to the inner wall 110 of the container body 100, with its outer circumferential surface contacting the inner circumferential surface of the inner wall 110. The sealing protrusion 520 can be in close contact with the inner wall 110 and help prevent the contents from leaking below the inner wall 110.

[0056] The sealing rim 540 may extend upward from the base plate 100 at a position spaced a predetermined distance from the sealing protrusion 520, and its inner circumferential surface may be configured to contact the outer circumferential surface of the inner wall 110. The sealing rim 540 may also be configured to fit tightly against the inner wall 110, helping to prevent contents from leaking below the inner wall 110.

[0057] 3 and 6, the lower portion of the inner circumferential surface of the sealing rim 540 may protrude further inward than the upper portion thereof. Due to this shape, when the base cap 500 is coupled to the lower portion of the container body 100 and the lower end of the inner wall 110 of the container body 100 reaches the lower portion of the sealing rim 540, the inner circumferential surface of the sealing rim 540 that protrudes further inward presses the lower end of the inner wall 110 toward the sealing protrusion 520, thereby making the contact portion between the inner wall 110 and the base cap 500 more watertight.

[0058] The engagement portion 580 may extend upward from the base plate 510 at a position corresponding to the lower engagement rim 180 of the container body 100, and its inner circumferential surface may be configured to contact the outer circumferential surface of the lower engagement rim 180. When the base cap 500 is coupled to the container body 100, the lower engagement rim 180 of the container body 100 may be inserted between the engagement portion 580 and the sealing rim 540. The engagement portion 580 may be used to secure the base cap 500 to the container body 100. To this end, a protrusion and / or a groove for coupling may be formed on the inner circumferential surface of the engagement portion 580. In the example shown in FIGS. 3 and 6 , an engagement groove 582 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the engagement portion 580. When the engagement protrusion 182 of the lower engagement rim 180 is inserted into the engagement groove 582 of the engagement portion 580, the base cap 500 may be coupled to the container body 100.

[0059] A flange 590 of the base cap 500 may extend outward from the upper end of the engagement portion 580. The flange 590 may be configured to contact the second bridge 165 of the container body 100. The flange 590 may increase the contact area between the container body 100 and the base cap 500, which may help prevent leakage of the contents in the storage space 105. Furthermore, if the compact case 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes a separate lower case (not shown), a portion of the lower case (not shown) may press the flange 590 of the base cap 500 upward to tightly contact the second bridge 165 of the container body 100.

[0060] In the illustrated example, the base cap 500 is coupled to the bottom of the container body 100 to form the internal storage space 105. Of course, in some embodiments of the present invention, the storage space 105 may be formed only by the container body 100, or a separate passage for injecting the contents may be provided. In this case, the base cap 500 may be omitted from the compact container 1000.

[0061] 7 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the base cap 500 is separated from the container body 100 in a compact container 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 7, the container body 100 is turned upside down so that the bottom surface faces upward, for example, in order to fill the contents into the receiving space 105. With the base cap 500 separated, cosmetics in the form of powder, cream, gel, etc. can be filled into the receiving space 105 as the contents. At this time, most of the contents are supported by the filter mesh 440 and do not move to the use surface mesh 420.

[0062] Once the contents (not shown) have been filled and the base cap 500 is attached, the compact case 1000 can be placed back in its original position with the lid member 200 facing upward. As described above, the configuration of the base cap 500 prevents leakage of the contents from the gap between the base cap 500 and the container body 100. Meanwhile, the filter mesh 440 prevents the contents from moving toward the mesh 420 on the use surface. The inner wall 110, ledge 120, upper engagement rim 140, and outer wall 160 of the container body 100 are configured to contact one another with the flange 320, inner rim 330, and outer rim 350 of the mesh ring 300, so that the contents do not leak from these areas either. In particular, the edge 424 of the use surface mesh 420 is inserted between the ledge 120 and the flange 320, and between the inner wall 110 and the inner rim 330, and when the contents come into contact with the edge 424 of the use surface mesh 420, the use surface mesh 420 can prevent the contents from moving and prevent the contents from leaking.

[0063] FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a compact case 1000 according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which the base cap 500 has been separated from the compact case 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0064] Compact case 1000 according to one embodiment of the present invention shown in Figures 8 and 9 has many features in common with compact case 1000 described in relation to Figures 1 to 7, and the following description will focus on the differences between compact case 1000 shown in Figures 8 and 9. Features described in relation to Figures 1 to 7 can be applied to the embodiment shown in Figures 8 and 9, and similarly, features described in relation to Figures 8 and 9 can be applied to the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 7. In describing the embodiment shown in Figures 8 and 9, some reference numbers will be used to refer to components corresponding to the components to which those reference numbers are applied in the embodiment described in relation to Figures 1 to 7.

[0065] Referring to FIG. 8, when the compact case 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the base cap 500, the base cap 500 may include a receiving wall 530.

[0066] The receiving wall 530 may be formed to a height corresponding to the height of the receiving space 105, and may be formed at a position corresponding to the inner wall 110 of the container body 100. When the base cap 500 includes the receiving wall 530, the receiving wall 530 may replace the sealing protrusion 520 described above. The receiving wall 530 may also be considered to be a form in which the sealing protrusion 520 is further extended upward by the height of the receiving space 105. As the receiving wall 530 extends upward, the base plate 510 of the base cap 500 and the receiving wall 530 may form a filling space 505 therein.

[0067] When the base cap 500 is coupled to the container body 100, the outer circumferential surface of the receiving wall 530 can contact the inner circumferential surface of the inner wall 110 of the container body 100. The receiving wall 530 fits tightly against the inner wall 110, which can help prevent leakage of the contents from the contact area between the container body 100 and the base cap 500.

[0068] Figure 9 is a cross-sectional view showing the state in which the base cap 500 has been separated from the compact container 1000 shown in Figure 8. Unlike the structure of Figure 7 in which the base cap 500 does not include the receiving wall 530, in Figure 9 the receiving wall 530 of the base cap 500 itself can accommodate the contents, eliminating the need to turn the compact container 1000 upside down. With the base cap 500 separated, cosmetics in the form of powder, cream, gel, etc. can be filled into the filling space 505 formed in the base cap 500 as the contents.

[0069] Once the contents (not shown) have been filled and the base cap 500 is attached, the contents in the filling space 505 can enter the storage space 105. Unlike the case of Figure 7, during the manufacturing process of the compact case 1000 and the process of filling the contents, the compact case 1000 can always position the use surface mesh 420 and the filter mesh 440 on top of the contents, significantly reducing the possibility of the contents leaking from the use surface mesh 420. In addition, the configuration of the base cap 500 prevents the contents from leaking from the gap between the base cap 500 and the container body 100, and the filter mesh 440 can prevent the contents from moving toward the use surface mesh 420.

[0070] When using compact case 1000 according to one embodiment of the present invention, a user can open cover member 200 to expose sealing tape 60. As described above, compact case 1000 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes mesh 420 on the use surface, which can prevent contents from leaking from the contact area between mesh ring 300, which secures mesh 420 on the use surface, and case body 100. Therefore, when a user who has purchased compact case 1000 opens cover member 200 for the first time, there will be no contents on the top surface of sealing tape 60, allowing compact case 1000 to maintain a clean and luxurious appearance.

[0071] To use the contents, the user can remove the sealing tape 60 and press the use surface mesh 420 with a tool such as a puff. The puff presses down the use surface mesh 420, and then presses down the filter mesh 440. Because both the use surface mesh 420 and the filter mesh 440 are made of porous materials, the puff comes into contact with the contents below the filter mesh 440, and the contents stick to the puff when used.

[0072] The compact case 1000 according to one embodiment of the present invention has a double mesh structure including a mesh on the use side 420 and a filter mesh 440. This double mesh structure prevents leakage of contents from the mesh on the use side 420 during use and also prevents leakage of contents from the contact area between the part securing the mesh on the use side 420 and the container body 100 during distribution. The structure of the compact case 1000 effectively prevents contents from being exposed without sacrificing ease of use, allowing the compact case 1000 to maintain a clean and luxurious appearance. Furthermore, the compact case 1000 according to one embodiment of the present invention utilizes a double mesh structure by filling the contents from the bottom and attaching the base cap 500, thereby enabling the contents to be filled without opening and closing the cover member 200, thereby improving filling efficiency.

[0073] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to one embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations of the present invention can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as set forth in the following claims.
