Description

[Technical Field]

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

[0002] Refillable containers are usually provided in the form of a double container consisting of an inner container and an outer container. In the case of such double-container refillable containers, the contents are refilled by separating the exhausted inner container from the outer container and connecting new contents to the outer container.

[0003] However, in order to separate the inner container from the outer container while they are firmly joined, a cumbersome operation process is required to release the strong bond, such as rotating or pressurizing the inner or outer container.

[0004] By adjusting the strength of the connection between the inner container and the outer container to be weak, the cumbersome operation process for undoing the connection can be minimized, but in this case, the inner container can be easily detached from the outer container even when the user does not intend, and the seal of the inner container can be easily released, causing the contents to leak out. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a content container that solves the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] The technical problems of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned technical problems, 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]

[0007] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a content container comprising: an outer container having a first storage space formed therein; an inner container received in the first storage space and having a second storage space formed therein; a shoulder portion provided on the upper side of the outer container and having a communicating space formed therein through which the inner container is inserted; and a lid portion for opening and closing the communicating space, wherein a receiving portion protrudes along an inner periphery of the shoulder portion and a mounting portion protrudes along an outer periphery of the inner container, and when the mounting portion is mounted on an upper end of the receiving portion, the inner container is received in the first storage space of the outer container, and when the lid portion seals the communicating space, the inner container is fixed in place and the second storage space is sealed.

[0008] In addition, an inner support portion and an outer support portion protrude from the upper end of the shoulder portion, and an inner contact portion that adheres to the outside of the inner support portion and an outer contact portion that adheres to the inside of the outer support portion are formed at the lower end of the lid portion, so that when the lid portion descends to seal the communicating space, the airtight space formed between the inner contact portion and the outer contact portion is compressed by the descent of the inner contact portion and the outer contact portion, thereby strengthening the seal.

[0009] In addition, in the shoulder portion, at least one first locking portion is provided on the outside of the outer support portion, and at least one second locking portion corresponding to the first locking portion is provided on the inside of the lid portion, and the lid portion can seal the shoulder portion by combining the first locking portion and the second locking portion.

[0010] In addition, the shoulder portion may further include an outer frame portion that is connected to the outer container, an inner frame portion that is provided inside the outer frame portion and from which the receiving portion extends inward, and a connecting portion that connects the outer frame portion and the inner frame portion and has the inner support portion and the outer support portion formed at its upper end.

[0011] In addition, at least one pressure member can protrude from the lower end of the lid member, which presses the upper end of the base member downward when the lid member seals the communication space, thereby fixing and sealing the inner container.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner container has a downwardly bent portion that bends downward and extends from the outer end of the mounting portion, and the shoulder portion has an upwardly bent portion that bends upward and extends from the inner end of the receiving portion, so that when the inner container is placed on the shoulder portion, the inner surface of the downwardly bent portion can be supported by the outer surface of the upwardly bent portion.

[0013] The upward bent portions may be spaced apart along an inner circumference of the receiving portion, and openings may be formed between the upward bent portions.

[0014] Furthermore, if the second storage space is unsealed and leakage of the contents stored in the second storage space occurs, the contents will flow into the first storage space through the opening, thereby preventing the contents from leaking out.

[0015] Furthermore, when the mounting portion is mounted on the receiving portion, the air in the first housing space is discharged to the outside through the open portion, thereby eliminating the increase in internal pressure in the first housing space. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] According to the present invention, the inner container can be easily replaced by simply attaching or detaching the inner container to or from the shoulder part, and the refilling operation can be easily performed, but the inner container can be firmly fixed when the replacement is completed.

[0017] Furthermore, according to the present invention, when the lid seals the communication space, the inner container can be fixed to the first containing space, so that the inner container cannot easily be separated from the outer container.

[0018] Furthermore, according to the present invention, when the lid seals the communication space, the storage space inside the inner container is sealed, thereby preventing the contents from leaking out.

[0019] Furthermore, according to the present invention, the sealing can be gradually strengthened as the lid portion descends to seal the communication space.

[0020] Furthermore, according to the present invention, even if leakage of the contents occurs, the contents can be prevented from leaking to the outside by flowing into the storage space inside the outer container.

[0021] Furthermore, according to the present invention, when the inner container is placed on the outer container, the air in the storage space inside the outer container can be discharged to the outside, thereby eliminating the rise in internal pressure.

[0028] 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.

[0029] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the content container 1000 may include an outer container 100, an inner container 200, a shoulder portion 300, and a lid portion 400.

[0030] The outer container 100 may have a first receiving space s1 formed therein. The first receiving space s1 can receive the inner container 200. For example, the outer container 100 may be a cylindrical container with an open top so that the first receiving space s1 is formed therein, but this is merely an example, and various embodiments may be applied, such as the outer container 100 having an open side, or having both the top and bottom open.

[0031] The inner container 200 is accommodated in the first accommodation space s1, and a second accommodation space s2 may be formed therein. The second accommodation space s2 can accommodate contents. For example, the inner container 200 may be freely selected from various known container shapes, such as a bottle, jar, tube, or pouch, each of which has the second accommodation space s2 formed therein.

[0032] In an embodiment, the contents may be liquid, gel, or powder cosmetics. For example, the contents may include lotions, milk lotions, moisturizing lotions, nourishing lotions, skin lotions, skin softeners, skin toners, astringents, massage creams, nourishing creams, moisturizing creams, whitening serums, tone-up creams, sunscreens, sun creams, sun milk, BB creams, bases, foundations, CC creams, concealers, blushers, shading, eyeshadows, eyebrow creams, eye creams, primers, etc. However, the contents are not limited thereto, and other forms and types of cosmetics, medical contents, etc. may also be used.

[0033] In this embodiment, the contents may be impregnated into an impregnated member made of nonwoven fabric, sponge, etc., and then housed in the second housing space s2. However, this is merely an example, and various other embodiments are possible, such as the contents being directly housed in the second housing space s2 or housed in a decorative tray before being housed in the second housing space s2.

[0034] In an embodiment, at least one anti-detachment protrusion 210 may be provided on the inner upper end of the inner container 200. The anti-detachment protrusion 210 may determine the height of the impregnated member stacked in the second accommodating space s2 and may prevent the impregnated member from escaping outside the second accommodating space s2.

[0035] The shoulder portion 300 is provided on the upper side of the outer container 100, and a communication space c penetrating vertically may be formed inside the shoulder portion 300. The inner container 200 can be inserted or removed through the communication space c.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the inner container 200 is inserted into the communication space c and placed on the shoulder portion 300, the inner container 200 can be accommodated in the first accommodating space s1 while being spaced apart from the bottom surface of the outer container 100.

[0037] In an embodiment, the receiving portion 310 may be formed to protrude (inward) along the inner periphery of the shoulder portion 300, and the holding portion 220 may be formed to protrude (outward) along the outer periphery of the inner container 200. The holding portion 220 may be placed on the upper end of the receiving portion 310. When the holding portion 220 is placed on the upper end of the receiving portion 310, the inner container 200 may be accommodated in the first accommodation space s1 while being spaced apart from the bottom surface of the outer container 100. Furthermore, when the holding portion 220 is released from the upper end of the receiving portion 310, the inner container 200 may be separated from the outer container 100.

[0038] In an embodiment, the shoulder portion 300 may have an upwardly bent portion 320 that bends upward and extends from the inner end of the receiving portion 310, and the inner container 200 may have a downwardly bent portion 230 that bends downward and extends from the outer end of the mounting portion 220. When the inner container 200 is mounted on the shoulder portion 300 (i.e., when the receiving portion 310 is mounted on the mounting portion 220), the inner surface of the downwardly bent portion 230 is supported by the outer surface of the upwardly bent portion 320, allowing the inner container 200 to be mounted more stably and firmly.

[0039] In the embodiment, the upward bent portions 320 are formed along the inner circumference of the receiving portion 310, but the multiple upward bent portions 320 may be spaced apart from one another. Openings 330 may be formed between the multiple upward bent portions 320.

[0040] In the embodiment, the opening 330 can prevent the contents from leaking to the outside. For example, if the second storage space s2 is unsealed and the contents stored in the second storage space s2 leak, the contents can flow into the first storage space s1 through the opening 330. That is, the leaked contents can flow into the first storage space s1 and not leak to the outside.

[0041] Furthermore, the receiving portion 310 may have an inclined surface that slopes downward toward the opening 330. The leaked liquid may move toward the opening 330 along the inclined surface.

[0042] In the embodiment, the open portion 330 can eliminate an increase in internal pressure in the first accommodating space s1 when the inner container 200 is placed. For example, when the inner container 200 is placed on the shoulder portion 300 (i.e., when the placing portion 220 is placed on the receiving portion 310), air in the first accommodating space s1 is discharged to the outside through the open portion 330, thereby eliminating an increase in internal pressure in the first accommodating space s1. Furthermore, a fluid flow toward the open portion 330 is generated inside the first accommodating space s1, which can guide the insertion of the inner container 200 into the first accommodating space s1.

[0043] In an embodiment, the shoulder portion 300 may include an outer frame portion 340, an inner frame portion 350 provided inside the outer frame portion 340, and a connecting portion 360 connecting the outer frame portion 340 and the inner frame portion 350. For example, the outer frame portion 340 may be coupled to the outer container 100, and the receiving portion 310 may extend inward from the inner frame portion 350. For example, the outer side of the outer frame portion 340 may be provided with at least one screw thread and / or fitting protrusion, which may be threadedly and / or fittingly coupled to the outer container 100. Various coupling methods, such as, but not limited to, locking coupling, fitting coupling, and interlocking coupling, may be applied.

[0044] The cover 400 can open and close the communication space c of the shoulder part 300. Specifically, the cover 400 is rotatably connected to one side of the shoulder part 300 and can open or close the communication space c by rotating. For example, various coupling methods can be used to achieve the rotatable coupling, such as coupling the cover 400 and the shoulder part 300 by at least one hinge. In this case, the cover 400 can be locked and coupled to the shoulder part 300 in a state where the cover 400 is rotated to seal the shoulder part 300, thereby sealing the communication space c.

[0045] However, this is merely an example, and according to an embodiment, the cover 400 is detachably coupled to the shoulder 300, and the communication space c can be sealed or opened by coupling or separating the cover 400 to or from the shoulder 300. For example, various coupling methods can be applied to achieve the detachable coupling, such as screw coupling between the cover 400 and the shoulder 300 using at least one corresponding screw thread, or snap-fit ​​coupling using at least one corresponding snap-fit ​​protrusion.

[0046] In an embodiment, the shoulder portion 300 may be provided with at least one first locking portion 370, and the cover portion 400 may be provided with at least one second locking portion 410 corresponding to the first locking portion 370. The first locking portion 370 and the second locking portion 410 are coupled together to allow the cover portion 400 to seal the communication space c. For example, the first locking portion 370 may be provided on the outer side of a support portion (particularly, the outer support portion 390) in the shoulder portion 300, and the second locking portion 410 may be provided on the inner side of the cover portion 400.

[0047] In an embodiment, at least one support portion 380 may protrude from the upper end of the shoulder portion 300, particularly from the upper end of the connecting portion 360, and at least one contact portion 420 may be formed at the lower end of the cover portion 400 to be in close contact with the support portion 380. The contact portion 420 is in close contact with the support portion 380, which can assist and / or strengthen the sealing of the communication space c by the cover portion 400.

[0048] In the embodiment, the support portion 380 may include an inner support portion 381 and an outer support portion 382, ​​and the contact portion 420 may include an inner contact portion 421 and an outer contact portion 422. In this case, the inner contact portion 421 may be in close contact with the outside of the inner support portion 381, and the outer contact portion 422 may be in close contact with the outside of the outer support portion 382. Due to this close contact, an airtight space t may be formed between the inner contact portion 421 and the outer contact portion 422.

[0049] In the embodiment, when the cover 400 descends to seal the communication space c, the airtight space t is compressed, thereby strengthening the sealing of the communication space c by the cover 400. Specifically, as the inner contact portion 421 and the outer contact portion 422 descend, the airtight space t is compressed and sealed from the outside. When the airtight space t is compressed, the internal pressure of the airtight space t increases, and the increased internal pressure presses the inner contact portion 421 inward and the outer contact portion 422 outward. This pressurization strengthens the contact between the inner contact portion 421 and the inner support portion 381 and the contact between the outer contact portion 422 and the outer support portion 382, ​​thereby strengthening the sealing of the communication space c by the cover 400.

[0050] In the embodiment, when the lid part 400 seals the communicating space c, the inner container 200 is fixed to the first accommodation space s1 and the second accommodation space s2 is sealed. To achieve this, for example, at least one pressure member 430 may be protruded from the lower end of the lid part 400. The pressure member 430 applies downward pressure to the inner container 200, particularly the upper end of the stand part 220, when the lid part 400 seals the communicating space c, thereby fixing and sealing the inner container 200.

[0051] In an embodiment, a plurality of content containers 1000 may be stackable. To this end, for example, at least one region of the upper end of the lid 400 may be recessed to correspond to the shape of the lower end of the outer container 100. Accordingly, the lower end of the outer container 100 of the second content container may be inserted into the recessed region of the upper end of the lid 400 of the first content container, thereby allowing the second content container to be stacked on the upper end of the first content container.

[0052] The content container 1000 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is merely an example, and various configurations can be applied depending on the embodiment to which the present invention is applied.

[0053] FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the operation of joining inner containers according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0054] 4, the inner container 200 can be inserted into the first housing space s1 through the communication space c inside the shoulder portion 300. During the insertion of the inner container 200 into the first housing space s1, air inside the first housing space s1 is discharged to the outside through the opening 330, thereby eliminating the increase in internal pressure of the first housing space s1. In addition, a fluid flow toward the opening 330 is generated inside the first housing space s1, guiding the insertion of the inner container 200 into the first housing space s1.

[0055] When the inner container 200 is fully inserted into the first accommodating space s1, the inner container 200 rests on the shoulder portion 300 and can be accommodated in the first accommodating space s1 while being spaced apart from the bottom surface of the outer container 100. Specifically, the inner container 200 can be placed on the shoulder portion 300 by placing the base portion 220 on the receiving portion 310. At this time, the inner circumferential surface of the downward bent portion 230 on the outer side of the base portion 220 can be supported by the outer circumferential surface of the upward bent portion 320 on the inner side of the receiving portion 310.

[0056] The coupling operation of the inner container 200 shown in FIG. 4 is merely an example, and various methods may be applied depending on the embodiment to which the present invention is applied.

[0057] FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the sealing operation of the lid according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0058] 5, when the cover 400 descends to seal the communication space c, the inner and outer contact portions 421 and 422 descend, sealing the airtight space t formed between them and compressing it from the outside. When the airtight space t is compressed, the internal pressure of the airtight space t increases, and the increased internal pressure pressurizes the inner contact portion 421 inward and the outer contact portion 422 outward. This pressurization strengthens the contact between the inner contact portion 421 and the inner support portion 381 and the contact between the outer contact portion 422 and the outer support portion 382, ​​thereby enhancing the sealing of the communication space c by the cover 400.

[0059] When the cover 400 is completely lowered, the first locking portion 370 and the second locking portion 410 are coupled together, thereby sealing the communication space c.

[0060] The sealing operation of the cover 400 shown in FIG. 5 is an example, and various methods can be applied depending on the embodiment to which the present invention is applied.

[0061] FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating stacking of content containers according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0062] 6, the content container 1000 includes a first content container 1000-1 and a second content container 1000-2, and the second content container 1000-2 can be stacked on top of the first content container 1000-1. At least one area of ​​the top of the lid 400 of the first content container 1000-1 can be recessed to correspond to the shape of the bottom of the outer container 100 of the second content container 1000-2. The bottom of the outer container 1000 of the second content container 1000-2 is inserted into the recessed area of ​​the top of the lid 400 of the first content container 1000-1, allowing the second content container 1000-2 to be stacked on top of the first content container 1000-1. Using the same principle, multiple content containers 1000 can be stacked on top of the second content container 1000-2.

[0063] The stacking of the content container 1000 shown in FIG. 6 is an example, and various methods can be applied depending on the embodiment to which the present invention is applied.

[0064] FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a content container according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0065] 7, the content container 1000' may include an outer container 100, an inner container 200, a shoulder portion 300, a lid portion 400, and a cosmetic tool 500. Here, the outer container 100, the inner container 200, the shoulder portion 300, and the lid portion 400 can be described in the same manner as in FIGS. 1 to 5.

[0066] The cosmetic tool 500 is a tool for using the contents stored in the second storage space s2. For example, the cosmetic tool 500 can be selected from various makeup tools such as tweezers for pinching and removing the impregnated member, a spatula for applying the contents, and a pipette for sucking up the contents.

[0067] In an embodiment, the cosmetic tool 500 can be stored in the lower end of the cover 400. For this purpose, for example, at least one storage space for storing the cosmetic tool 500 may be formed in the lower end of the cover 400. The storage space may be formed by at least one storage protrusion protruding from the lower end of the cover 400, or by at least one region being recessed in the lower end of the cover 400.

[0068] The content container 1000' shown in FIG. 7 is merely an example, and various configurations may be applied depending on the embodiment to which the present invention is applied.

[0069] As described above, the drawings and specification disclose the best mode for carrying out the present invention. 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 described in the claims.
