[0002] Various types of cosmetics are available on the market, and various types of cosmetic containers have appeared to safely store these cosmetics and make them easier for users to use.

[0003] The most important thing about such cosmetic containers is their airtightness and sealing performance, because if they are not stably sealed, the contents stored in the container may dry out, harden, or crack, which may cause problems such as changes in dosage form or a decrease in efficacy. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

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

[0005] The technical problems of the present invention are not limited to those 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 includes a container portion having a storage portion for storing the impregnated member; a fixing portion that is joined along the periphery of the container portion and prevents the impregnated member from coming off; a lid portion rotatably coupled to the container portion for opening and closing the container portion; may include: [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the present invention, a hook portion is formed on the lid portion so that the lid portion can rotate relative to the container portion, and a rotation axis is formed on the container portion, and then these are joined together, making assembly easy, and by not using a metal hinge pin, the hassle of removing the hinge pin when disposing of the container for recycling is eliminated.

[0008] Furthermore, according to the present invention, when the lid closes the container, the sealing effect can be improved by surface-to-surface sealing, in which the sealing protrusions provided along the periphery of the lid tightly contact the container.

[0009] Furthermore, according to the present invention, by forming a first air groove in the container, the internal pressure of the container is released when the lid is closed, and even when the lid is closed, oil from the contents is trapped and moisture is released to the outside, preventing the container from swelling. In particular, even when the container is made of a soft material, the first air groove can prevent the container from deforming.

[0010] Furthermore, according to the present invention, the lid portion is made of a hard material and the container portion is made of a soft material, so that the lid portion can be closed smoothly, resulting in not only an improved usability but also improved sealing performance.

[0011] Furthermore, according to the present invention, by forming a second air groove, the internal pressure of the container part is released when the fixing part provided with the sealing sheet is joined to the container part, thereby preventing the sealing sheet from swelling convexly or being separated from the fixing part.

[0026] 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, FIG. 3 is an exploded cross-sectional view of a content container according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a content container according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0027] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the content container 1000 may include a container portion 100, a fixing portion 200, and a lid portion 300.

[0028] The container 100 may have a storage section 110 for storing contents. The contents may be liquid, gel, or powder cosmetics. Examples of the contents include lotions, milk lotions, moisturizing lotions, nourishing lotions, skin lotions, skin softeners, skin toners, astringents, massage creams, nourishing creams, moisturizing creams, whitening essences, tone-up creams, sunscreens (UV blockers), sunscreen creams (sun creams), sunscreen milks (sun milks), BB creams, makeup bases (bases), foundations, CC creams, concealers, blushers, shading, eye shadows, eyebrow pencils, eye creams, primers, and the like. However, the present invention is not limited to these examples, and various contents requiring sealing, such as cosmetics in other dosage forms and types, pharmaceuticals, foods, various compounds, and compositions, may also be used. Depending on the embodiment, the contents may be directly filled into the storage section 110, or may be filled into the storage section 110 via an impregnated member, a dish, or the like.

[0029] In an embodiment, the container 100 may further include an inner wall 120 surrounding the receiving portion 110, an outer wall 130 spaced apart from the inner wall 120, and a bottom 140 supporting the inner wall 120 and the outer wall 130. Here, the space between the inner wall 120 and the outer wall 130 may be open upward and sealed downward by the bottom 140. In addition, a fixing portion 200 may be coupled to the inner wall 120, and a lid portion 300 may be coupled to the outer wall 130 while sealing the receiving portion 110. To this end, the inner wall 120 and / or the outer wall 130 may have protrusions and / or grooves for sealing.

[0030] In an embodiment, the open tops of the inner wall 120 and the outer wall 130 may be sealed by the fixing portion 200 and the lid portion 300. Therefore, the fixing portion 200 (particularly, the outer edge portion 212) and the lid portion 300 (particularly, the sealing protrusion 340) may be in close contact with each other.

[0031] In an embodiment, the outer wall 130 may be formed higher than the inner wall 120. That is, this is to prevent interference between the fixing part 200 coupled to the inner wall 120 and the cover part 300 coupled to the outer wall 130.

[0032] In an embodiment, the container 100 may further include a rotating shaft 150 and a support part 160. The rotating shaft 150 is formed on the outside of the container 100 (particularly, the outer wall 130), and the hook part 320 of the lid 300 is coupled to the rotating shaft 150, thereby enabling the lid 300 to rotate. In addition, the support part 160 may connect the rotating shaft 150 and the container 100 (particularly, the outer wall 130).

[0033] In the embodiment, the support portion 160 extends outward (particularly in the horizontal direction) from the outer wall 130, but may be formed so as to be bent upward in at least one region. By extending outward and bending upward, the rotation shaft 150 is spaced apart from the outer wall 130 in the horizontal and vertical directions, and a sufficient space for the rotation of the lid portion 300 can be secured.

[0034] In an embodiment, at least one first air groove 170 may be formed along the periphery of the outer wall 130. When the cover 300 is closed and the container 100 is sealed, the air inside the container 100 is discharged to the outside through the first air groove 170, thereby releasing the pressure inside the container 100.

[0035] In an embodiment, the outer wall 130 may have at least one sealing groove 180 formed along the periphery. When the lid 300 seals the container 100, the sealing protrusion 340 of the lid 300 can be inserted into the sealing groove 180. The sealing protrusion 340 and the sealing groove 180 can be tightly fitted to each other along the periphery of the outer wall 130 to maintain a tight seal.

[0036] In an embodiment, the first air groove 170 may be formed above the sealing groove 180. For example, the first air groove 170 may be formed above the sealing groove 180 at a distance, or at least a region of the sealing groove 180 may be formed to extend upward. This effectively relieves air compression (i.e., internal pressure) within the container 100 when sealing, allowing the lid 300 to easily and stably seal the container 100.

[0037] The fixing part 200 is joined along the periphery of the container part 100 (particularly the inner wall 120) and can prevent the impregnated member from coming off.

[0038] In an embodiment, the fixing part 200 may include a rim part 210 and a locking part 220. The rim part 210 may be formed along the periphery of the container part 100 to be coupled to the container part 100, and the locking part 220 may be formed to protrude inward from the upper end of the rim part 210 to prevent the impregnated member from coming off.

[0039] In an embodiment, the edge 210 may include an outer edge 212 and an inner edge 214. The inner wall 120 is inserted into the space between the outer edge 212 and the inner edge 214, and in particular, the outer edge 212 may be in close contact with the outer side of the inner wall 120, and the inner edge 214 may be in close contact with the inner side of the inner wall 120. In particular, the inner edge 214 and / or the locking portion 220 may pressurize or support at least one region of the impregnated member within the housing 110, thereby preventing the impregnated member from coming off.

[0040] According to an embodiment, the fixing part 200 may further include at least one second air groove 230 along its periphery. The fixing part 200 may include a sealing sheet. In this case, when the fixing part 200 is coupled to the container part 100, air inside the container part 100 is discharged through the second air groove 230, thereby relieving pressure inside the container part 100 and preventing deformation of the sealing sheet. For example, the second air groove 230 may be formed in the edge part 210, particularly the outer edge part 212. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

[0041] The lid 300 is rotatably coupled to the container 100 to open and close the container 100. Specifically, the lid 300 may include at least one of a lid body 310, a hook portion 320, a shielding portion 330, a sealing protrusion 340, and a handle portion 350.

[0042] In an embodiment, the cover body 310 can rotate to open or close the container 100, and can provide a space for forming and connecting the hook portion 320, the shielding portion 330, etc. According to an embodiment, at least one region of the top surface of the cover body 310 can be concave to form a storage space. The storage space can accommodate contents, an application member (e.g., a puff, a brush, etc.), etc. The contents accommodated in the cover body 310 can be the same as or different from the contents accommodated in the container 100.

[0043] In the embodiment, the hook portion 320 is a hook-shaped member formed on the outside of the lid portion 300 (particularly, the lid portion main body 310) with one area of the outside being open, and the hook portion 320 is coupled to the rotation axis 150 of the container portion 100 so that the lid portion 300 can rotate relative to the container portion 100.

[0044] In an embodiment, the shielding portion 330 may extend outside the lid 300 (particularly, the lid main body 310), and at least a portion thereof may have a flat plate shape. In this case, the hook portion 320 may extend from the bottom surface of the shielding portion 330. In particular, the hook portion 320 located at the lower end of the shielding portion 330 may have a size sufficient to shield the hook portion 320, the rotation shaft 150 of the container 100, and the like. This prevents the hook portion 320, etc. located below the shielding portion 330, from being exposed to the outside, and also prevents contamination such as foreign matter clogging the hook portion 320, the rotation shaft 150, and the like.

[0045] In an embodiment, the sealing protrusion 340 may be arranged along the periphery of the lid 300 (particularly, the lid body 310), or may extend downward. When the lid 300 closes the container 100, the sealing protrusion 340 can seal the container 100 by coming into close contact with the container 100 (particularly, the outer wall 130).

[0046] In the embodiment, the handle 350 is intended for a user to grip and may be formed to protrude from the outside of the lid 300 (particularly, the lid body 310). A user can easily open and close the container 100 by gripping the handle 350 and rotating the lid 300. To allow the lid 300 to be easily rotated, the handle 350 is preferably formed on the opposite side of the hook 320, but is not limited thereto.

[0047] In an embodiment, the container 100 and the cover 300 may be made of different materials. In particular, the container 100 may be made of a material that is relatively softer than the material of the cover 300, and the cover 300 may be made of a material that is relatively harder than the material of the container 100.

[0048] In an embodiment, the material of the container part 100 and / or the lid part 300 may include at least one of polypropylene (PP)-based resin, polyethylene (PE)-based resin, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE)-based resin, and thermoplastic rubber (TPR)-based resin, but the material of the container part 100 may be relatively softer than the material of the lid part 300, and the material of the lid part 300 may be relatively harder than the material of the container part 100.

[0049] In an embodiment, the material of the container part 100 may be relatively softer than the material of the lid part 300, and the material of the lid part 300 may be relatively harder than the material of the container part 100, and therefore the material of the lid part 300 may include a polypropylene-based resin, and the material of the container part 100 may include a polyethylene-based resin.

[0050] For example, polyethylene (PE) resins include low-density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), medium-density polyethylene (MDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), chlorinated polyethylene (CPE), and combinations thereof, while polypropylene (PP) resins include homopropylene (HOMO PP), block polypropylene (BLOCK PP), random polypropylene (RANDOM PP), terpolymer polypropylene (TER PP), and combinations thereof, but are not limited to these.

[0051] In an embodiment, the material of the container 100 may include at least two of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). For example, the material of the container 100 may include linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). For example, the material of the container 100 may include 1.5 to 4 parts by weight of polyethylene (LLDPE) and 7 to 8 parts by weight of high-density polyethylene (HDPE). In this case, the material has an appropriate balance of softness and hardness, improving the feel of use and sealing power. Meanwhile, the material of the lid 300 is harder than the container 100 and may include a polypropylene (PP)-based resin. However, the material is not limited to this.

[0052] In an embodiment, the content container 1000 may further include an impregnating member. The impregnating member may be disposed within the container portion 100 (particularly, the storage portion 110) and may be impregnated with the content. For this purpose, the impregnating member may be made of, for example, a porous material, and the content is impregnated into an impregnation space formed therein, and when external force is applied, the impregnated content can be discharged.

[0053] In an embodiment, the content container 1000 may further include a sealing sheet (not shown). The sealing sheet is for sealing the content contained in the container portion 100 and can be attached to the fixing portion 200 to cover the open area of the fixing portion 200. For example, the sealing sheet can be made of paper, film, etc., and in particular, adhesive or the like can be applied along the periphery and can be attached to the fixing portion 200, in particular the upper end surface of the locking portion 220. The sealing sheet can be removed when the content is used.

[0054] The content container 1000 shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is an example, and various configurations may be applied depending on the embodiment to which the present invention is applied.

[0055] FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a double container according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is an exploded view of the double container according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0056] 5 and 6, the dual container 2000 may include a content container 1000, an outer container portion 2100 and an outer lid portion 2200.

[0057] The outer container part 2100 has an accommodation space formed inside, and can accommodate the container part 100 of the content container 1000. For this reason, the accommodation space of the outer container part 2100 may have a shape corresponding to the outer shape of the container part 100, and may have fixing protrusions and / or grooves for coupling with the container part 100.

[0058] In an embodiment, when the container portion 100 of the content container 1000 is made of a soft material, the container portion 100 is housed within the relatively hard outer container portion 2100, thereby preventing deformation or shaking of the container portion 100.

[0059] In an embodiment, at least a portion of the upper end surface of the outer container portion 2100 may be formed in a concave shape. The hook portion 320, the shielding portion 330, the rotation axis 150, and the support portion 160 of the content container 1000 may be arranged in the concave region. In particular, the upper end surface of the outer container portion 2100 adjacent to the concave region is flat, and the shielding portion 330 having a flat plate shape is positioned contiguous with the flat upper end surface.

[0060] The outer lid part 2200 is rotatably connected to the outer container part 2100, thereby allowing the outer container part 2100 to be opened and closed. That is, the container part 100 of the content container 1000 can be primarily sealed by the lid part 300 and secondarily sealed by the outer lid part 2200.

[0061] For example, the outer lid part 2200 may be connected to one side of the outer container part 2100 by a hinge, and the outer lid part 2200 may open and close the outer container part 2100 by rotating the hinge.

[0062] Furthermore, the outer container part 2100 and the outer lid part 2200 may be formed with locking parts at positions corresponding to each other to maintain the outer lid part 2200 in a sealed state.

[0063] The double container 2000 shown in Figures 5 and 6 is an example and is based on an embodiment to which the present invention is applied, but is not limited thereto, and various configurations may be applied depending on the embodiment of the present invention.

[0064] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to specific examples and experimental examples. However, the following specific examples and experimental examples are merely illustrative of the present invention, and the content of the present invention is not limited to the following specific examples and experimental examples.

[0065] Content containers were manufactured using the materials for the container and lid shown in Table 1 below. In Example 1, the lid material included polypropylene, and the container material included polyethylene. In Comparative Example 1, both the lid and the container material included polypropylene. In Comparative Examples 2 and 3, the lid material included polyethylene, and the container material included polyethylene and polypropylene, respectively.

[0066] [Table 1]

[0067] In the case of the first embodiment, the lid can smoothly close the container, and in particular, the container and the lid can be tightly attached to each other, improving the sealing performance.

[0068] In contrast, in Comparative Example 1, both the lid and the container were hard, so the lid opened and closed the container with difficulty, significantly reducing the usability. In particular, the lid and the container did not easily fit together when closed, reducing the sealing performance.

[0069] In Comparative Example 2, both the lid and container parts were soft, so the lid could be opened and closed smoothly, but this made both the lid and container parts prone to deformation, resulting in the problem that the lid did not close properly and ended up bending.

[0070] In Comparative Example 3, the lid was made soft and the container was made hard, so the lid opened and closed smoothly but was prone to deformation. On the other hand, because the container was made hard, the lid did not close properly and did not seal tightly even when closed.

[0071] 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]
