Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a content container with a multi-applicator, and more particularly, to a content container with a multi-applicator that allows one type of content to be applied in various ways depending on the application site, area, and the like.

Background Art

[0002] Gel-type or cream-type cosmetic containers whose content is liquid yet volatile are configured as containers with narrow outlets in order to minimize the volatilization of moisture or volatile solvents as much as possible. An applicator for applying the content to the body is disposed at the outlet of such a container, and the applicator is formed with a small discharge port to implement a mechanism for discharging the content.

[0003] In general, such a container is limited to having only a single applicator, so that a user can only apply the content in a single manner. Accordingly, there is a problem that selectable options for the user are restricted even when a more appropriate application method is required according to the type of content, application site, and intended use.

[0004] In particular, in the case of makeup cosmetics, the application area varies depending on the application sites such as the eye area, lips, and cheeks, and since the area differs according to the application site, it may be difficult to create a desired makeup look with only a single makeup technique.

[0005] For example, in the case of lips, the bending rate of the application region is large, so the region that is applied in close contact and the region that is applied to the boundary line with the lips to define the lip line are different from each other. Therefore, there is a problem that the makeup desired by the user cannot be easily performed if the applicability, spreadability (extensibility, ease of spreading), and conformability to the skin are constant without change.

[0037] The container body 100 can be formed in a cylindrical tubular shape, and its lower end may be sealed by crimping and melting a straight line. A spout 110 into which the contents can be moved may be formed at the upper end of the container body 100. The outer diameter of the spout 110 may be smaller than that of the lower end of the container body 100, and a male screw thread 120 for connection with the second applicator 300, which will be described later, may be formed on its outer surface. The container body 100 may also be made of an elastic flexible material, specifically, the material of the container body 100 may be polypropylene (PP), but various other materials can also be used. When pressure is applied to such a container body 100, the internal pressure increases and the contents inside can be discharged into the spout 110.

[0038] The first applicator 200 has the function of applying the contents contained in the container body 100 to the body, and may be formed at the upper end of the spout 110 of the container body 100.

[0039] Depending on the embodiment, the first applicator 200 may be integrally formed from the same material as the container body 100.

[0040] Depending on the embodiment, the first applicator 200 may be manufactured as a separate component from the container body 100 and attached to the container body 100. The first applicator 200 may be attached to the container body 100 so as to be detachable.

[0041] Depending on the embodiment, a first application portion 210 may be formed at the upper end of the first applicator 200. Furthermore, a discharge port 220 may be formed in the first application portion 210 through which the contents of the container body 100 are discharged.

[0042] Depending on the embodiment, the first coating portion 210 may be formed in a circular planar shape, an elliptical shape, or have an inclined surface. The shape of the first coating portion 210 is not limited thereto and can be formed in a variety of shapes.

[0043] The second applicator 300 has the function of applying the contents contained in the container body 100 to the body, and may be fastened to the other end of the container body 100 so as to be detachable by the first fastening method.

[0044] As the first fastening method, a screw fastening method or a snap-on fastening method can be used, and the present invention is not limited thereto in any way; any fastening method commonly used in the industry can be used.

[0045] Depending on the embodiment, the first fastening method may be a method in which the female thread 310 and the male thread 120 are joined to each other by rotation. For this purpose, the male thread 120 may be formed on the outer circumferential surface of the container body 100, and the female thread 310 that fastens to the male thread may be formed on the inner circumferential surface of the second applicator 300.

[0046] The second applicator 300 may be formed in a cylindrical shape, and its lower end may be open.

[0047] A spherical second coating portion 320 may be formed at the upper end of the second applicator 300. However, the shape of the second coating portion 320 is not limited thereto and may be formed into various shapes such as a square, triangle, or ellipse, or it may be formed into a flat surface without protrusion.

[0048] A nozzle 330 may be formed at the upper end of the second applicator 300, which is connected to the discharge port 220 of the first applicator 200 and discharges the contents of the container body 100. The nozzle 330 is provided as a cylindrical tubular projection and is insertable into the discharge port 220 when the second applicator 300 is fastened to the container body 100.

[0049] The outer circumferential surface of the second applicator 300 may have sawtooth-shaped projections 340 which will be connected to the lid member 400 described later. The sawtooth-shaped projections 340 may be formed in the shape of long vertical rods and may be arranged at regular intervals along the outer circumferential surface of the second applicator 300. The shape and number of the sawtooth-shaped projections 340 can be changed as appropriate and are not limited to the shape and number shown in the drawing. Such sawtooth-shaped projections 340 may be connected to the lid member 400 described later so that the lid member 400 rotates together with them.

[0050] The cover member 400 encloses and protects the second applicator 300, and may be connected to the second applicator 300 by a second fastening method.

[0051] As a second fastening method, a screw fastening method or a snap-on fastening method can be used, and the present invention is not limited thereto in any way; any fastening method commonly used in the industry can be used.

[0052] Depending on the embodiment, the second fastening method may be a snap-on fastening method in which the cover member 400 is pressed along the outer circumferential surface of the second applicator 300 and fastened.

[0053] Furthermore, the lid member 400 rotates together with the second applicator 300, but it may also rotate relative to the first applicator 200.

[0054] Depending on the embodiment, the lid member 400 may be formed in a cylindrical shape with an open lower end and a spherical upper end. Furthermore, coupling protrusions 410 that engage with the sawtooth-shaped protrusions 340 may be formed on the inner circumferential surface of the lid member 400. The coupling protrusions 410 may be formed in multiple vertically elongated rod shapes and arranged spaced apart from each other along the inner circumferential surface of the lid member 400. Such coupling protrusions 410 can be fitted between the sawtooth-shaped protrusions 340 to allow the second applicator 300 and the lid member 400 to rotate together.

[0055] Depending on the embodiment, a first inclined portion 341 may be formed at the upper end of the sawtooth projection 340, and a second inclined portion 411 may be formed at the lower end of the connecting projection 410, which contacts the first inclined portion 341 and guides the connecting projection 410 to fit into the sawtooth projection 340. The second inclined portion 411 can slide along the first inclined portion 341 when the cover member 400 is attached to the second applicator 300, guiding the connecting projection 410 to fit between the sawtooth projections 340.

[0056] Depending on the embodiment, the lid member 400 and the second applicator 300 are formed in corresponding shapes so that they can interlock and rotate together. For example, if the lid member 400 and the second applicator 300 are not circular but square or elliptical in shape, they can rotate together in a tightly fitted state. Depending on the embodiment, a sealing projection 420 that fits into the nozzle 330 may be provided on the inside of the lid member 400. The sealing projection 420 protrudes downward from the upper inside end of the lid member 400 and, when attached to the second applicator 300, fits into the upper end of the nozzle 330 to seal the nozzle 330. Such a sealing projection 420 can have the effect of preventing the contents from leaking out of the nozzle 330 unintentionally.

[0057] Depending on the embodiment, the contents container may further include a contact member 500 that comes into contact with the application area on the upper part of the second applicator 300.

[0058] The contact member 500 is attached to the second application portion 320 and can directly contact the body to apply the contents. The contact member 500 may be formed in a hemispherical shell shape that encloses the second application portion 320, and may be made of a silicone material or a mixture of polypropylene (PP) and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). The contact member 500 may also be flocked. When the contact member 500 is flocked, the surface becomes even softer, minimizing irritation when applying the contents, and the contents spread evenly (stretch) so that they are applied evenly to the body.

[0059] Figure 5 is a procedure diagram showing the usage state of a contents container with a multi-applicator according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, Figures 5(a) and (b) show the process of the first applicator 200 being exposed, and Figures 5(c) and (d) show the process of the second applicator 300 being exposed.

[0060] As shown in Figures 5(a) and 5(b), when the lid member 400 is rotated by screw using the first fastening method, the second applicator 300 rotates along with it, and the female threads 310 of the second applicator 300 rise along the male threads 120, detaching it from the container body 100 and exposing the first applicator 200. The first application portion 210 of the first applicator 200 is formed in a flat or inclined shape, making it usable when applying the contents to a narrow area.

[0061] As shown in Figures 5(c) and 5(d), when the lid member 400 is pulled upward in a snap-on manner using the second fastening method, the lid member 400 is removed from the second applicator 300, exposing the second applicator 300. The second application portion 320 of the second applicator 300 can apply the contents to the body via the contact member 500 and is formed in a spherical shape so that it can be used when applying to a large area.

[0062] In this way, by selectively exposing the first applicator 200 and the second applicator 300 depending on the fastening method, the same contents can be applied in various ways, thereby expanding the range of use and increasing user satisfaction.

[0063] Figure 6 is a perspective view of the first applicator 200 of a contents container with a multi-applicator according to yet another embodiment of the present invention, where, as shown in Figure 6, the first applicator 200 is formed in a shape in which the diameter gradually narrows as it moves upward, and the first application portion 210 may be formed in the shape of a circular plane on the top surface. When the first application portion 210 is formed in the shape of a circular plane, it can be used when applying to an even smaller area and can be used for concealer, foundation, and blush applications.

[0064] Depending on the circumstances, the first applicator 200 may be formed separately from the container body 100. Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view of a contents container with a multi-applicator according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 7, when the first applicator 200 is separated from the container body 100, a coupling portion 250 that fits into the spout 110 is formed at the lower end of the first applicator 200, and a stopper 260 may be provided protruding from the outer circumferential surface of the upper end of the coupling portion 250 so as to catch on the upper end of the spout 110. Also, when the first applicator 200 is separated from the container body 100, the first applicator 200 may be made from a different material than the container body 100, for example, a silicone material.

[0065] In the contents container with a multi-applicator according to the embodiment of the present invention having the above configuration, the first applicator 200 and the second applicator 300 can be selectively used depending on the fastening method.

[0066] The optimal embodiments have been disclosed in the drawings and specification.
