Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a content container. [Background technology]

[0002] As modern people become increasingly concerned about their appearance, various types of cosmetics have appeared, and among these various types of cosmetics, stick-type cosmetics such as lipsticks and sun balms are gradually gaining popularity. However, cosmetic containers for such stick-type cosmetics cannot be recycled after the contents are used up and are simply discarded, resulting in a waste of resources.

[0003] To solve these problems, refillable products have recently been released, which allow users to recycle cosmetic containers by simply refilling them with the contents. However, conventional refillable products require users to hold the cosmetic container in their hands, rotating it, pulling it, and other cumbersome operations, which makes them inconvenient to use when refilling. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a content container that solves the above problems.

[0005] The technical problems of the present invention are not limited to the technical problems mentioned above, and other technical problems not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] A content container according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided. The content container has a lifting section including a storage section at the top for storing the content; a lift guide portion that is disposed so as to surround at least a portion of the lift portion and guides the lift portion in elevation; a rotating part coupled to the lower side of the lifting guide part so as to rotate synchronously with the lifting guide part, and to which a user applies a rotating operation to raise and lower the lifting part; a holder portion having an upper end disposed outside the accommodation portion and a lower end disposed between the rotation portion and the lift guide portion so that the rotation portion can rotate relative to the holder portion; Including, The lower end of the lifting guide part is detachably connected to the rotating part, and when pressure is applied to a region of the lower end of the lifting guide part exposed to the outside of the rotating part, the lifting part, the lifting guide part and the holder part can be separated integrally from the rotating part. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the present invention, a region of the lower end of the lifting guide section is exposed to the outside of the rotating section, so that the lifting section, lifting guide section and holder section can be easily separated from the rotating section by simply applying pressure to the lifting guide section, thereby improving the convenience of the contents refilling operation.

[0008] Furthermore, according to the present invention, the structure for connecting to the rotating part in the refill container is not exposed to the outside, which improves the aesthetic appearance.

[0009] Furthermore, according to the present invention, when the lifting / lowering guide part and the rotating part are coupled, the lifting / lowering part can be raised and lowered by rotating the rotating part, and the refillable container is configured so that the first edge part of the lifting / lowering guide part is not exposed to the outside, thereby preventing unintended rotation of the lifting / lowering guide part and raising and lowering of the lifting / lowering part. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 6] 1A and 1B are diagrams illustrating a container set according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a content container is provided. The content container includes: a lifting unit including a storage unit for storing content at an upper portion; a lifting guide unit disposed to surround at least a portion of the lifting unit and guiding the lifting unit's elevation; a rotating unit coupled to the lower side of the lifting guide unit so as to rotate synchronously with the lifting guide unit and to which a user can apply a rotational operation to raise and lower the lifting unit; and a holder unit having an upper end disposed outside the storage unit and a lower end disposed between the rotating unit and the lifting guide unit so that the rotating unit can rotate relative to the lifting guide unit. The lower end of the lifting guide unit is detachably coupled to the rotating unit, and when pressure is applied to a region of the lower end of the lifting guide unit exposed outside the rotating unit, the lifting unit, the lifting guide unit, and the holder unit can be separated as a single unit from the rotating unit.

[0013] In addition, an open portion may be formed on the bottom surface of the rotating portion into which the lower end of the lifting guide portion is inserted, and the lower surface of the lifting guide portion may be exposed to the outside through the open portion so that pressure can be applied.

[0014] The lifting guide portion may also include a connecting portion that is inserted into the open portion of the rotating portion and at least a portion of which is exposed to the outside, and a first edge portion that protrudes outward from the outer peripheral surface of the lower end of the lifting guide portion and has at least a portion that extends downward to surround the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion at a distance.

[0015] In addition, at least one first locking protrusion may be formed on the outer surface of the connecting portion, and at least one second locking protrusion may be formed on the inner surface of the opening portion, and the first locking protrusion and the second locking protrusion may be fastened to each other, thereby connecting the rotating portion and the lifting guide portion so that they can rotate synchronously.

[0016] The first edge portion may include an upper wall protruding outward from the outer surface of the lower end of the lift-up guide portion, and a side wall extending downward along the periphery of the upper wall and surrounding the outer circumferential surface of the coupling portion. At least one vertical protrusion may be formed on the inner surface of the holder portion, and when pressure is applied to the coupling portion, the vertical protrusion may be pressed by the upper wall, thereby separating the lift-up guide portion and the holder portion from the rotating portion as a unit.

[0017] In addition, the rotating portion may have a second edge portion formed thereon that protrudes upward along the periphery of the open portion, and the second edge portion may be inserted into a space formed between the first edge portion and the connecting portion that is open downward.

[0018] Further, a third edge portion may be formed on the lower side of the holder portion, the third edge portion being formed in a shape corresponding to the outer peripheral surface of the first edge portion and being in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the first edge portion.

[0019] In addition, at least one first guide protrusion may be formed on the outer surface of the lifting section below the storage section, and at least one second guide protrusion may be formed on the inner surface of the lifting guide section, so that when the rotating section rotates, the first guide protrusion moves along the second guide protrusion, causing the lifting section to rise and fall.

[0020] In addition, a locking step may be formed on the outer surface of the lifting section, and the holder section may be formed with a limiting section having a through hole into which at least a part of the lifting section is inserted, so that when the lifting section rises and the locking step abuts the limiting section, further rise of the lifting section is restricted, thereby preventing the lifting section from coming off. [Example]

[0021] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Also, methods of constructing and using devices according to embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals or characters in the drawings represent parts or components that perform substantially the same functions. In the following description, for convenience, up, down, left, and right directions are based on the drawings, and the scope of the present invention is not necessarily limited to these directions.

[0022] Terms including ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" may be used to describe various components, but these components are not limited by these terms. These terms are used only to distinguish one component from another. For example, a first component can be designated as a second component, and similarly, a second component can be designated as the first component, without departing from the scope of the present invention. The term "and / or" includes a combination of multiple related items or any one item of multiple related items.

The singular expressions include the plural expressions unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In this specification, the terms "comprise" or "have" and the like specify the presence of features, numbers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof described in the specification, but should be understood not to preclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

[0024] Throughout this specification, when a part is said to be connected to another part, this includes not only direct connection but also indirect connection via an intervening structure. Furthermore, when a part is said to include a certain component, it does not mean that the other component is excluded, but that the part may further include the other component, unless otherwise specified.

[0025] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a content container according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a content container according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a content container according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0026] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the content container 1000 may include a lifting unit 100, a lifting guide unit 200, a rotating unit 300, and a holder unit 400.

[0027] The lifting unit 100 accommodates the contents and rises or falls in accordance with the rotation of the rotating unit 300, thereby exposing the contents to the outside of the holder unit 400 or accommodating them inside.

[0028] In an embodiment, the lifting unit 100 may include a receiving unit 110, a first guide protrusion 120, and / or a locking step 130.

[0029] The container 110 is disposed above the lifting unit 100 and can contain at least a portion of the contents. For example, the container 110 has an open top and a storage space formed therein, and the lower end of the contents can be inserted into the container 110. The contents may be solid or semi-solid cosmetics to be applied to the user's skin. For example, the contents may be lipstick, lip balm, sunscreen cream, sun balm, makeup base, or foundation. Furthermore, the contents may be solid or semi-solid medical contents. However, the contents are not limited thereto, and various compositions composed of solid or semi-solid forms, etc., and other forms and types of cosmetics may also be used.

[0030] In the embodiment, at least one first fixing protrusion 111 may be formed on the inner circumferential surface of the accommodating section 110. The first fixing protrusion 111 is inserted into the outer circumferential surface of the contents to prevent the contents from falling out. For this reason, the first fixing protrusion 111 may be formed to protrude inward from the inner circumferential surface of the accommodating section 110 and extend a predetermined length in the vertical direction.

[0031] In the embodiment, at least one second fixing protrusion 112 may be formed on the bottom surface of the accommodating portion 110. The second fixing protrusion 112 may be inserted into the bottom surface of the contents to prevent the contents from falling out. For example, the second fixing protrusion 112 may be formed to protrude upward from the bottom surface of the accommodating portion 110 by a predetermined length.

[0032] The first guide protrusion 120 can guide the lifting / lowering unit 100 to rise and fall when a rotation operation is applied to the rotating unit 300. For example, the first guide protrusion 120 can be formed on the lower side of the accommodation unit 110 and formed with a predetermined inclination along the outer surface of the lifting / lowering unit 100 from a lower point to an upper point. The first guide protrusion 120 can be movable along a part of the lifting / lowering guide unit 200 (particularly, the second guide protrusion 230). Therefore, when the lifting / lowering guide unit 200 rotates due to a rotation operation of the rotating unit 300, the first guide protrusion 120 can guide the lifting / lowering unit 100 to rise and fall by means of a part of the lifting / lowering guide unit 200 (particularly, the second guide protrusion 230).

[0033] The locking step 130 can limit the elevation height of the lifting unit 100. For example, the locking step 130 is protruded from the outer surface of the lifting unit 100, and when the lifting unit 100 rises to a predetermined height, an end of the locking step 130 abuts against a part of the holder unit 400 (particularly, the limiting portion 420), thereby preventing the lifting unit 100 from rising any further.

[0034] The lifting / lowering guide unit 200 may be disposed so as to surround at least a portion of the lifting / lowering unit 100, and may guide the lifting / lowering movement of the lifting / lowering unit 100. Specifically, the lifting / lowering guide unit 200 may be coupled to the rotating unit 300 so as to be synchronously rotatable, and when a rotation operation is applied to the rotating unit 300, the lifting / lowering guide unit 200 may transmit the rotational force of the rotating unit 300 to the lifting / lowering unit 100, causing the lifting / lowering unit 100 to lift / lower.

[0035] In an embodiment, the lower end of the lift-up guide unit 200 may be detachably coupled to the rotating unit 300. A region of the lower end of the lift-up guide unit 200 (e.g., a side surface, a bottom surface, etc. of the lift-up guide unit 200) may be exposed to the outside of the rotating unit 300, and when pressure is applied to the exposed region of the lift-up guide unit 200, the lift-up unit 100, the lift-up guide unit 200, and the holder unit 400 may be separated as a unit from the rotating unit 300. In this way, when the contents contained in the lift-up unit 100 are used up, the lift-up unit 100 can be easily separated from the rotating unit 300, and then the combination of the lift-up unit 100, the lift-up guide unit 200, and the holder unit 400 containing new contents can be coupled to the rotating unit 300.

[0036] In an embodiment, the lift guide part 200 may include a coupling part 210 , a first edge part 220 and / or a second guide protrusion 230 .

[0037] The connecting part 210 may be detachably connected to the rotating part 300. At least a portion of the connecting part 210 may be exposed to the outside of the rotating part 300 so that an external force can be applied by a user. Thus, the lifting / lowering part 100, the lifting / lowering guide part 200, and the holder part 400 can be separated from the rotating part 300 by simply applying pressure to the connecting part 210.

[0038] In the embodiment, at least one first locking protrusion 211 may be formed on the outer surface of the coupling part 210. The first locking protrusion 211 allows the rotation of the rotation part 300 and the lifting guide part 200 in synchronization when a rotation operation is applied to the rotation part 300. For example, the first locking protrusion 211 may be formed to protrude outward from the outer surface of the coupling part 210 and extend a predetermined length in the vertical direction. The first locking protrusion 211 may be engaged with a part of the rotation part 300 (particularly, the second locking protrusion 311). As a result, when the rotation part 300 rotates, the lifting guide part 200 can rotate together with the rotation part 300 due to the first locking protrusion 211 engaged with a part of the rotation part 300 (particularly, the second locking protrusion 311).

[0039] The first edge portion 220 may serve to prevent at least a portion of the outer appearance of the coupling portion 210 from being exposed to the outside. Specifically, in a refillable container (refillable container) including the lifting / lowering portion 100, the lifting / lowering guide portion 200, and the holder portion 400 containing new contents, a portion of the configuration of the lifting / lowering guide portion 200 (e.g., the coupling portion 210) for coupling to the rotating portion 300 may be hidden from view from the outside. This may improve the aesthetic appearance of the refillable container. For this reason, the first edge portion 220 may be formed to protrude outward from the outer peripheral surface of the lower end of the lifting / lowering guide portion 200 and extend at least partially downward to surround the outer peripheral surface of the coupling portion 210 at a distance. However, this shape of the first edge portion 220 is merely exemplary, and the first edge portion 220 may include any type of structure for achieving the functions of the present invention.

[0040] In an embodiment, the first edge 220 may include a top wall 221 and a side wall 222 .

[0041] The upper wall 221 can transmit an external force applied to the coupling part 210 to the holder part 400. For example, the upper wall 221 may be formed to protrude outward from the outer surface of the lower end of the lift-down guide part 200. When an external force from a user is applied to the coupling part 210, the upper wall 221 may pressurize a part of the holder part 400 (particularly, the vertical protrusion 410), so that the lift-down guide part 200 and the holder part 400 may be separated from the rotating part 300 as a unit.

[0042] The side wall 222 can hide at least a part of the appearance of the coupling portion 210. For this reason, the side wall 222 may be formed so as to extend downward along the periphery of the upper wall 221 and surround the outer circumferential surface of the coupling portion 210.

[0043] In addition, the side wall 222 can be in close contact with the holder part 400 to increase the supporting force of the lift guide part 200 and the holder part 400. For example, the side wall 222 can be formed in a shape that corresponds to the inner peripheral surface of a part of the holder part 400 (particularly, the third edge part 430) whose outer peripheral surface abuts against the first edge part 220, and can be in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the holder part 400.

[0044] The second guide protrusion 230 can guide the lifting / lowering unit 100 to rise and fall when a rotation operation is applied to the rotating unit 300. For example, the second guide protrusion 230 can be formed on the inner surface of the lifting / lowering guide unit 200 to correspond to the first guide protrusion 120. When the rotating unit 300 and the lifting / lowering guide unit 200 rotate synchronously through a rotation operation by the user, the second guide protrusion 230 rotates, and the first guide protrusion 120 moves along the second guide protrusion 230, thereby lifting and lowering the lifting / lowering unit 100.

[0045] The rotating unit 300 can receive a rotation operation from a user to raise and lower the lifting unit 100. For example, the rotating unit 300 is coupled to the underside of the lifting guide unit 200 so as to rotate synchronously with the lifting guide unit 200, and when a user applies a rotation operation, the lifting unit 100 can be raised and lowered by the lifting guide unit 200 which rotates together with the rotating unit 300.

[0046] In an embodiment, an opening 310 may be formed on the bottom surface of the rotating part 300. The lower end of the lift-down guide part 200 may be inserted into the opening 310. Specifically, the connecting part 210 may be inserted into the opening 310, and at least a portion of the connecting part 210 may be exposed to the outside through the opening 310. The lower surface of the lift-down guide part 200 (particularly the connecting part 210) may be exposed to the outside through the opening 310, so that pressure from the user can be applied to separate the lift-down guide part 200 from the rotating part 300.

[0047] In the embodiment, at least one second locking protrusion 311 may be formed on the inner surface of the open portion 310. The second locking protrusion 311 may enable the rotation unit 300 and the lifting guide unit 200 to rotate synchronously. For example, the second locking protrusion 311 may protrude inward from the inner surface of the open portion 310 and be formed to correspond to the first locking protrusion 211. When the coupling unit 210 is inserted into the open portion 310, the first locking protrusion 211 and the second locking protrusion 311 are coupled to each other, thereby allowing the rotation unit 300 and the lifting guide unit 200 to be coupled to each other so as to rotate synchronously.

[0048] A second edge 312 may be protruded from the bottom surface of the rotating part 300. The second edge 312 may increase the connecting force between the lift guide part 200 and the rotating part 300 when the connecting part 210 is inserted into the open part 310. For example, the second edge 312 may be protruded upward along the periphery of the open part 310, and the second edge 312 may be inserted into a space formed between the first edge 220 and the connecting part 210 and open downward.

[0049] The holder unit 400 may be arranged to surround the contents, the lifting / lowering unit 100, and / or the lifting / lowering guide unit 200. For example, the upper end of the holder unit 400 may be arranged outside the storage unit 110, and the lower end may be arranged between the lifting / lowering guide unit 200 and the rotating unit 300. Furthermore, since the holder unit 400 is arranged inside the rotating unit 300 so that the rotating unit 300 can rotate relative to the holder unit 400, the holder unit 400 is independent of the rotation operation of the rotating unit 300, and may be rotationally fixed without rotating even when the rotating unit 300 rotates.

[0050] In this embodiment, the upper portion of the holder unit 400 is open, so that the contents that rise along with the elevation of the lifting unit 100 can be exposed to the outside. For example, if an inclined surface is formed on the upper end of the contents so that the contents can be effectively applied to the skin, an inclined surface corresponding to the inclined surface of the contents may be formed on the open upper end of the holder unit 400.

[0051] In an embodiment, the holder portion 400 may include a vertical protrusion 410 , a limiting portion 420 and / or a third edge portion 430 .

[0052] The vertical protrusion 410 may transmit an external force applied to the coupling part 210. For example, the vertical protrusion 410 may be formed to protrude inward from the inner surface of the holder part 400 and to abut against a region of the first edge part 220. When an external force from a user is applied to the coupling part 210, the upper wall 221 may press the vertical protrusion 410, so that the lifting / lowering guide part 200 and the holder part 400 may be separated from the rotating part 300 as a single unit.

[0053] The limiting portion 420 can limit the elevation height of the lifting / lowering unit 100. For example, the limiting portion 420 may be provided to protrude inward from the inner peripheral surface of the holder unit 400, so that the lifting / lowering unit 100 rises and the locking step 130 abuts against the limiting portion 420. In this case, further elevation of the lifting / lowering unit 100 is limited, and the lifting / lowering unit 100 can be prevented from coming off.

[0054] In an embodiment, a through hole 421 may be formed in the limiting portion 420. At least a portion of the lifting / lowering portion 100 may be inserted into the through hole 421. For example, an upper region of the lifting / lowering portion 100 (e.g., the storage portion 110) may be disposed above the limiting portion 420, and a lower region of the lifting / lowering portion 100 may be disposed below the limiting portion 420 through the through hole 421.

[0055] Furthermore, when the accommodation unit 110 is disposed above the limiting unit 420, the lower surface of the accommodation unit 110 may abut against the upper surface of the limiting unit 420. In this case, when an external force from the user is applied to the coupling unit 210, the first edge 220 moves the holder unit 400 together with the lift-up guide unit 200, and the limiting unit 420 presses the lower surface of the accommodation unit 110, so that the lift-up unit 100 moves together with the holder unit 400. As a result, when pressure is applied to the coupling unit 210, the lift-up unit 100, the lift-up guide unit 200, and the holder unit 400 can be separated as a unit from the rotating unit 300.

[0056] In an embodiment, the through hole 421 may be formed in a non-circular shape, and correspondingly, a region of the lifting unit 100 that is inserted into the through hole 421 and moves up and down inside the through hole 421 may also be formed in a non-circular shape. As a result, even if the rotating unit 300 rotates, the lifting unit 100 does not rotate due to the holder unit 400 that is fixed to the rotation, and the lifting unit 100 can move up and down in the vertical direction by the lifting guide unit 200.

[0057] The third edge portion 430 may be in close contact with the lift guide portion 200 to increase the supporting force of the holder portion 400 and the lift guide portion 200. For example, the third edge portion 430 may be formed on the lower side of the holder portion 400 such that its inner circumferential surface corresponds to the outer circumferential surface of the first edge portion 220 (particularly, the side wall 222), and may be in close contact with the outer circumferential surface of the first edge portion 220.

[0058] In an embodiment, the content container 1000 may further include a lid. The lid may enclose the content and at least a portion of the holder part 400 and be detachably connected to the rotating part 300. The lid can expose the content to the outside or prevent contamination of the content by foreign matter by opening or sealing the upper end of the holder part 400.

[0059] 1 to 3 are merely exemplary, and various configurations may be applied depending on the embodiment to which the present invention is applied. For example, the positions of the first guide protrusion 120 and the second guide protrusion 230 may be reversed, or the positions of the first locking protrusion 211 and the second locking protrusion 311 may be reversed, and it is clear that the embodiment of the present invention can be modified in various ways, which will still provide the same effects as the present invention.

[0060] Fig. 4 is a diagram for explaining the operation of a content container according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, Fig. 4 shows the process in which the lifting unit, the lifting guide unit, and the holder unit are separated from the rotating unit, with Fig. 4(a) being a cross-sectional view of the content container before separation, and Fig. 4(b) being a cross-sectional view of the content container after separation.

[0061] 4, when pressure is applied to the lower surface of the coupling part 210 exposed to the outside through the opening 310 of the rotating part 300, the vertical protrusion 410 is pressed by the first edge part 220 (particularly the upper wall 221), allowing the holder part 400 to move together with the lifting / lowering guide part 200. In addition, the limiting part 420 presses the lower surface of the receiving part 110, allowing the lifting / lowering part 100 to move together with the holder part 400.

[0062] In this way, by applying pressure to one exposed area of the coupling part 210, the lifting part 100, the lifting guide part 200, and the holder part 400 can be separated as a unit from the rotating part 300, and a refill container containing new contents, including the lifting part, the lifting guide part, and the holder part, can be coupled to the rotating part 300. In other words, new contents can be easily refilled into a container 1000 whose contents have been used up.

[0063] The operation of the content container 1000 shown in FIG. 4 is an example, and various operation methods may be applied depending on the embodiment to which the present invention is applied.

[0064] Fig. 5 is a diagram for explaining the operation of a content container according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, Fig. 5 shows the process of the lifting unit and the contents contained therein rising and falling, with Fig. 5(a) being a cross-sectional view of the content container before the lifting unit rises, and Fig. 5(b) being a cross-sectional view of the content container after the lifting unit rises.

[0065] 5, when a user rotates the rotating unit 300, the first and second locking protrusions 211 and 311 are fastened to each other, so that the lifting / lowering guide unit 200 rotates together with the rotating unit 300. When the lifting / lowering guide unit 200 rotates, the second guide protrusion 230 rotates, and as a result, the first guide protrusion 120 moves along the second guide protrusion 230, allowing the lifting / lowering unit 100 to rise and fall.

[0066] In this case, a region of the lifting unit 100 that is inserted into the through-hole 421 and moves up and down from the inside of the through-hole 421 may also be formed in a non-circular shape in accordance with the non-circular shape of the through-hole 421. As a result, even if the rotating unit 300 rotates, the lifting unit 100 does not rotate due to the holder unit 400 that is fixed to the rotation, and the lifting unit 100 can move up and down in the vertical direction by the lifting guide unit 200.

[0067] Thereafter, when the lifting section 100 rises to a certain height, the locking step 130 abuts against the limiting section 420, thereby restricting further rise of the lifting section 100 and preventing the lifting section 100 from coming off.

[0068] The operation of the content container 1000 shown in FIG. 5 is an example, and various operation methods may be applied depending on the embodiment to which the present invention is applied.

[0069] FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a container set according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] 6, a container set 3000 may include a content container 1000 and at least one refill container 2000. In this case, the content container 1000 can be described in the same manner as the content container 1000 according to FIGS.

[0071] The refill container 2000 may include a lifting portion, a lifting guide portion 200′, a holder portion 400′, and a refill cap 500. In this case, the lifting portion, lifting guide portion 200′, and holder portion 400′ of the refill container 2000 are described in the same manner as the lifting portion 100, the lifting guide portion 200, and holder portion 400 of the content container 1000.

[0072] The refill cap 500 may surround at least a portion of the holder portion 400' and be detachably coupled to the holder portion 400'. The refill cap 500 seals the upper end of the holder portion 400', thereby preventing contamination of the contents by foreign matter, etc. When the contents of the content container 1000 are used up, the user can separate the lifting portion 100, the lifting guide portion 200, and the holder portion 400 from the rotating portion 300, and then couple the refill container 2000, from which the refill cap 500 has been separated, to the rotating portion 300 of the content container 1000.

[0073] In the embodiment, in the refill container 2000, the configuration of the lift guide part 200' (e.g., the coupling part 210) for coupling to the rotating part 300 of the content container 1000 can be made invisible from the outside, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance of the lift guide part 200.

[0074] In the embodiment, the first edge 220 of the refillable container 2000 can be prevented from being exposed to the outside of the holder part 400'. Because the first edge 220 is not exposed to the outside, unintended rotation of the first edge 220, i.e., rotation of the lifting guide part 200', can be prevented. As a result, the refillable container 2000 itself can prevent unintended lifting and lowering of the lifting part, and the lifting part can only be lifted and lowered after the lifting guide part 200' and the rotating part 300 of the content container 1000 are coupled together.

[0075] The container set 3000 according to FIG. 6 is an example, and various configurations may be applied depending on the embodiment to which the present invention is applied.

[0076] As described above, the drawings and specification disclose the most suitable embodiment. Although specific terms are used herein, they are used merely for the purpose of describing the present invention and are not used to limit the meaning or the scope of the present invention as set forth in the claims. Therefore, a person skilled in the art would understand that various modifications and equivalent embodiments are possible. Therefore, the true technical scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the technical spirit of the claims. [Explanation of symbols]
