Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a container for contents.

Background Art

[0002] As modern people's interest in appearance has gradually increased, various types of cosmetics have emerged. As one of such various types of cosmetics, stick-shaped cosmetics such as lipsticks and lip balms have gradually come into the spotlight. However, in the case of a cosmetic container that houses such stick-shaped cosmetics, there is a problem that after the contents are used up, it cannot be recycled and is discarded as it is, resulting in a waste of resources.

[0003] In order to solve such problems, recently, refill products (refillable products) that can recycle cosmetic containers by refilling the contents have been put on the market. However, in conventional refill products (refillable products), there is a problem that the user has to directly hold the cosmetic container by hand and perform troublesome operation processes such as rotating or pulling it, lacking convenience in the operation during refilling.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a container for contents for solving 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 Problems

[0006] A container for contents according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided. The container for contents includes a lifting part including a housing part for housing the contents at an upper part, A lifting guide section is positioned to surround at least a portion of the lifting section and guides the lifting and lowering of the lifting section, A rotating part is coupled to the lower side of the lifting guide so as to rotate in sync with the lifting guide, and the user's rotational operation to raise and lower the lifting part is applied to the rotating part, A holder portion whose upper end is positioned outside the housing portion and whose lower end is positioned between the rotating portion and the lifting guide portion so that the rotating portion can rotate relative to it, Includes, The lower end of the lifting guide is detachably connected to the rotating part, and when pressure is applied to a region of the lower end of the lifting guide that is exposed to the outside of the rotating part, the lifting part, the lifting guide part, and the holder part can be integrally separated from the rotating part. An opening is formed on the bottom surface of the rotating part into which the lower end of the lifting guide part is inserted. The lower surface of the lifting guide part is exposed to the outside through the opening and the pressure is applied. The lifting guide part includes a coupling part that is inserted into the opening of the rotating part and at least a portion of which is exposed to the outside, and a first edge part that protrudes outward from the outer peripheral surface of the lower end of the lifting guide part and at least a portion of which extends downward and surrounds the outer peripheral surface of the coupling part at a distance. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the present invention, since a region of the lower end of the lifting guide is exposed to the outside of the rotating part, the lifting part, the lifting guide part, and the holder part can be easily separated from the rotating part by a simple pressurizing operation on the lifting guide part, thereby improving the convenience of refilling the contents.

[0008] Furthermore, according to the present invention, since the structure for connecting to the rotating part in the refillable container is not exposed to the outside, the aesthetic appearance can be improved.

[0009] Furthermore, according to the present invention, with the lifting guide section and the rotating section connected, the lifting section can be raised and lowered by the rotation of the rotating section. In the refillable container, the first edge of the lifting guide section is configured not to be exposed to the outside, thus preventing unintended rotation of the lifting guide section and raising and lowering of the lifting section. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0010] To better understand the drawings referenced in the detailed description of the present invention, a brief description of each drawing is provided.

[0011] [Figure 1]This is a perspective view of a contents container according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a disassembled perspective view of a contents container according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 3] This is a cross-sectional view of a contents container according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 4] This is a diagram illustrating the operation of a contents container according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 5] This is a diagram illustrating the operation of a contents container according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 6] This is a diagram illustrating a container set according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0012] An embodiment of the present invention provides a contents container. The contents container includes a lifting section with a storage section at the top for storing contents, a lifting guide section arranged to surround at least a portion of the lifting section and to guide the lifting of the lifting section, a rotating section coupled to the lower side of the lifting guide section so as to rotate synchronously with the lifting guide section and to which the user's rotational operation for raising and lowering the lifting section is applied, and a holder section whose upper end is located outside the storage section and whose lower end is located between the rotating section and the lifting guide section so as to allow the rotating section to rotate relative to it. The lower end of the lifting guide section is detachably coupled to the rotating section, and when a region of the lower end of the lifting guide section exposed to the outside of the rotating section is pressurized, the lifting section, the lifting guide section and the holder section can be integrally separated from the rotating section.

[0013] Furthermore, an opening may be formed on the bottom surface of the rotating part into which the lower end of the lifting guide part is inserted, so that the lower surface of the lifting guide part is exposed to the outside through the opening and pressurized.

[0014] Furthermore, the lifting guide portion may include a coupling portion that is inserted into the opening of the rotating portion and at least a part of it 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 at least a part of it extends downward, surrounding the outer peripheral surface of the coupling portion at a distance from it.

[0015] In addition, at least one first locking protrusion is formed on the outer surface of the coupling part, and at least one second locking protrusion is formed on the inner surface of the opening part. The rotation part and the lifting guide part may be coupled so as to be synchronously rotatable by fastening the first locking protrusion and the second locking protrusion to each other.

[0016] Further, the first edge portion may include an upper wall protruding outward from the outer lower surface of the lifting guide portion and a side wall extending downward along the periphery of the upper wall and surrounding the outer peripheral surface of the coupling portion. At least one vertical protrusion is formed on the inner surface of the holder portion. When the coupling portion is pressurized, the vertical protrusion is pressurized by the upper wall, so that the lifting guide portion and the holder portion may be integrally separated from the rotating portion.

[0017] In addition, a second edge portion protruding upward along the periphery of the opening portion is formed on the rotating portion, and the second edge portion may be inserted into a separation space formed open downward between the first edge portion and the coupling portion.

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

[0019] In addition, at least one first guide protrusion is formed on the outer surface of the lifting portion below the accommodating portion, and at least one second guide protrusion is formed on the inner surface of the lifting guide portion. When the rotating portion rotates, the lifting portion may be lifted by the first guide protrusion moving along the second guide protrusion.

[0020] In addition, a locking step is formed on the outer surface of the lifting portion, and a restricting portion having a through hole into which at least a part of the lifting portion is inserted is formed on the holder portion. When the lifting portion rises and the locking step abuts against the restricting portion, further rising of the lifting portion may be restricted to prevent the lifting portion from detaching.

Embodiment

[0021] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the contents shown in the attached drawings. Furthermore, the method of constructing and using an apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the contents shown in the attached drawings. The same reference numerals or symbols shown in each drawing represent parts or components that perform substantially the same function. In the following description, for convenience, the directions up, down, left, and right are based on the drawings, and the scope of the present invention is not necessarily limited to the corresponding 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 solely to distinguish one component from another. For example, without departing from the scope of the invention, the first component may be named the second component, and similarly, the second component may be named the first component. The terms "and / or" include a combination of multiple related items, or any one of multiple related items.

[0023] The terms used herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit and / or restrict the invention. Singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In this specification, terms such as “includes” or “having” should be understood to indicate the presence of features, figures, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof described in the specification, and not to preemptively exclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, figures, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

[0024] Throughout the specification, when a part is said to be linked to another part, this includes not only direct linkages but also indirect linkages with other components in between. Furthermore, when a part is said to contain a component, unless otherwise specified, this does not mean that other components are excluded, but rather that other components may be included.

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

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

[0027] The lifting section 100 houses the contents and rises or falls in accordance with the rotation of the rotating section 300, allowing the contents to be exposed to the outside or housed inside the holder section 400.

[0028] In the embodiment, the lifting section 100 may include a housing section 110, a first guide projection 120, and / or a locking step 130.

[0029] The storage section 110 is located above the lifting section 100 and can accommodate at least a portion of the contents. For example, the top of the storage section 110 is open, forming a storage space inside, and the lower end of the contents can be inserted into the inside of the storage section 110. The contents here may be solid or semi-solid cosmetics applied to the user's skin. For example, the contents may be lipstick, lip balm, sunscreen cream, sun balm, makeup base, or foundation. Alternatively, the contents may be solid or semi-solid medical contents. However, the contents are not limited to these, and various compositions consisting of solids or semi-solids are applicable, as are other dosage forms and types of cosmetics.

[0030] In the embodiment, at least one first fixing projection 111 may be formed on the inner circumferential surface of the housing portion 110. The first fixing projection 111 can be inserted into the outer circumferential surface of the contents to prevent the contents from coming out. For this reason, the first fixing projection 111 may be formed to protrude inward from the inner circumferential surface of the housing portion 110 and extend vertically for a predetermined length.

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

[0032] The first guide projection 120 can guide the lifting section 100 to move up and down when the rotating section 300 is rotated. For example, the first guide projection 120 may be formed on the lower side of the housing section 110 and have a predetermined inclination along the outer surface of the lifting section 100 from one lower point to one upper point. The first guide projection 120 may be movable along a part of the lifting guide section 200 (in particular, the second guide projection 230). Therefore, when the lifting guide section 200 rotates due to the rotation of the rotating section 300, the first guide projection 120 can guide the lifting section 100 up and down by a part of the lifting guide section 200 (in particular, the second guide projection 230).

[0033] The locking step 130 can limit the height to which the lifting section 100 can be raised. For example, the locking step 130 is provided protruding from the outer surface of the lifting section 100, and when the lifting section 100 rises to a predetermined height, the end of the locking step 130 comes into contact with a part of the holder section 400 (particularly the limiting section 420), thereby preventing the lifting section 100 from rising any further.

[0034] The lifting guide section 200 may be positioned to surround at least a portion of the lifting section 100 and guide the lifting and lowering of the lifting section 100. Specifically, the lifting guide section 200 may be coupled to the rotating section 300 so as to be synchronously rotatable, and when a rotational operation is applied to the rotating section 300, the lifting guide section 200 may transmit the rotational force of the rotating section 300 to the lifting section 100, causing the lifting section 100 to move up and down.

[0035] In this embodiment, the lower end of the lifting guide portion 200 may be detachably connected to the rotating portion 300. One area of ​​the lower end of the lifting guide portion 200 (for example, the side or bottom surface of the lifting guide portion 200) may be exposed to the outside of the rotating portion 300, and by applying pressure to the exposed area of ​​the lifting guide portion 200, the lifting portion 100, the lifting guide portion 200, and the holder portion 400 can be integrally separated from the rotating portion 300. This allows the lifting portion 100 to be easily separated from the rotating portion 300 when the contents contained in the lifting portion 100 are used up, and then the combination of the lifting portion 100, the lifting guide portion 200, and the holder portion 400 containing new contents can be connected to the rotating portion 300.

[0036] In the embodiment, the lifting guide portion 200 may include a connecting portion 210, a first edge portion 220, and / or a second guide projection 230.

[0037] The coupling portion 210 may be detachably coupled to the rotating portion 300. At least a portion of the coupling portion 210 may be exposed to the outside of the rotating portion 300 so that external force can be applied by the user. This allows the lifting portion 100, the lifting guide portion 200, and the holder portion 400 to be separated from the rotating portion 300 by a simple pressurizing operation on the coupling portion 210.

[0038] In the embodiment, at least one first locking projection 211 may be formed on the outer surface of the joint 210. The first locking projection 211 allows the rotating part 300 and the lifting guide part 200 to rotate synchronously when a rotational operation is applied to the rotating part 300. For example, the first locking projection 211 may be formed to protrude outward from the outer surface of the joint 210 and extend vertically for a predetermined length. The first locking projection 211 may be fastened to a part of the rotating part 300 (in particular, a second locking projection 311). As a result, when the rotating part 300 rotates, the lifting guide part 200 can rotate together with it due to the first locking projection 211 fastened to a part of the rotating part 300 (in particular, a second locking projection 311).

[0039] The first edge portion 220 can serve to prevent at least a portion of the appearance of the coupling portion 210 from being exposed to the outside. Specifically, in a refill container (refill container) including a lifting portion 100 containing new contents, a lifting guide portion 200, and a holder portion 400, a portion of the lifting guide portion 200 for coupling to the rotating portion 300 (for example, the coupling portion 210) can be made invisible from the outside. This can improve the aesthetic appearance of the refill container. For this reason, the first edge portion 220 may be formed to protrude outward from the lower outer peripheral surface of the lifting guide portion 200, with at least a portion extending downward to surround the outer peripheral surface of the coupling portion 210 at a distance. However, the shape of such a first edge portion 220 is exemplary, and the first edge portion 220 may include any form of structure for realizing the function of the present invention.

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

[0041] The upper wall 221 can transmit external forces applied to the joint 210 to the holder 400. For example, the upper wall 221 may be formed to protrude outward from the lower outer surface of the lifting guide 200. When external force is applied to the joint 210 by the user, the upper wall 221 may pressurize a part of the holder 400 (particularly the vertical projection 410) so that the lifting guide 200 and the holder 400 are integrally separated from the rotating part 300.

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

[0043] Furthermore, the side wall 222 can be in close contact with the holder portion 400 to increase the support force between the lifting guide portion 200 and the holder portion 400. For example, the side wall 222 can be formed in a shape that corresponds to the inner surface of a part of the holder portion 400 (particularly the third edge portion 430) whose outer surface abuts the first edge portion 220, thereby allowing it to be in close contact with the inner surface of the holder portion 400.

[0044] The second guide projection 230 can guide the raising and lowering of the lifting section 100 when a rotational operation is applied to the rotating section 300. For example, the second guide projection 230 may be formed on the inner surface of the lifting guide section 200 so as to correspond to the first guide projection 120. When the rotating section 300 and the lifting guide section 200 rotate synchronously due to the user's rotational operation, the second guide projection 230 rotates, and the lifting section 100 can be raised and lowered while the first guide projection 120 moves along the second guide projection 230.

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

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

[0047] In the embodiment, at least one second locking projection 311 may be formed on the inner surface of the opening 310. The second locking projection 311 may enable the rotating part 300 and the lifting guide part 200 to rotate synchronously. For example, the second locking projection 311 may protrude inward from the inner surface of the opening 310 and be formed to correspond to the first locking projection 211. When the coupling part 210 is inserted into the opening 310, the first locking projection 211 and the second locking projection 311 are fastened together, thereby enabling the rotating part 300 and the lifting guide part 200 to rotate synchronously.

[0048] A second edge portion 312 may be provided protruding from the bottom surface of the rotating portion 300. The second edge portion 312 may be provided so as to increase the coupling force between the lifting guide portion 200 and the rotating portion 300 when the connecting portion 210 is inserted into the opening portion 310. For example, the second edge portion 312 may protrude upward along the periphery of the opening portion 310 and be inserted into a separation space formed downwardly open between the first edge portion 220 and the connecting portion 210.

[0049] The holder portion 400 may be positioned to surround the contents, the lifting portion 100, and / or the lifting guide portion 200. For example, the upper end of the holder portion 400 may be positioned outside the housing portion 110, and the lower end may be positioned between the lifting guide portion 200 and the rotating portion 300. Furthermore, since the rotating portion 300 is positioned inside the rotating portion 300 so that it can rotate relative to the holder portion 400, the holder portion 400 is independent of the rotation operation of the rotating portion 300, and the holder portion 400 may remain fixed in rotation even when the rotating portion 300 rotates.

[0050] In this embodiment, since the upper part of the holder portion 400 is open, the contents that rise along with the lifting portion 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 portion 400.

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

[0052] The vertical projection 410 can transmit external forces applied to the coupling portion 210. For example, the vertical projection 410 may project inward from the inner surface of the holder portion 400 and be formed to abut against a region of the first edge portion 220. When an external force is applied to the coupling portion 210 by the user, the upper wall 221 may pressurize the vertical projection 410 so that the lifting guide portion 200 and the holder portion 400 are integrally separated from the rotating portion 300.

[0053] The limiting portion 420 can limit the height to which the lifting portion 100 can be raised. For example, the limiting portion 420 may be provided protruding inward from the inner circumferential surface of the holder portion 400, so that when the lifting portion 100 rises, the locking step 130 comes into contact with the limiting portion 420. In this case, further upward movement of the lifting portion 100 is restricted, and the lifting portion 100 can be prevented from detaching.

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

[0055] Furthermore, if the housing section 110 is positioned above the limiting section 420, the lower surface of the housing section 110 may contact the upper surface of the limiting section 420. In this case, when an external force is applied to the connecting section 210 by the user, the holder section 400 moves together with the lifting guide section 200 by the first edge section 220, and the limiting section 420 pressurizes the lower surface of the housing section 110, allowing the lifting section 100 to move together with the holder section 400. As a result, when the connecting section 210 is pressurized, the lifting section 100, the lifting guide section 200, and the holder section 400 can be separated integrally from the rotating section 300.

[0056] In this embodiment, the through-hole 421 may be formed in a non-circular shape, and correspondingly, a region of the lifting section 100, which 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 section 300 rotates, the lifting section 100 will not rotate due to the fixed holder section 400, and the lifting section 100 can move up and down vertically by the lifting guide section 200.

[0057] The third edge portion 430 can be in close contact with the lifting guide portion 200 to increase the support force of the holder portion 400 and the lifting guide portion 200. For example, the inner circumferential surface of the third edge portion 430 is formed on the lower side of the holder portion 400 in a shape corresponding to the outer circumferential surface of the first edge portion 220 (particularly the side wall 222), and can be in close contact with the outer circumferential surface of the first edge portion 220.

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

[0059] The contents container 1000 shown in Figures 1 to 3 is illustrative, and various configurations can be applied depending on the embodiment to which the present invention is applied. For example, the positions of the first guide projection 120 and the second guide projection 230 may be reversed, and the positions of the first locking projection 211 and the second locking projection 311 may be reversed. Embodiments of the present invention can be modified in various ways, and it is clear that the same effects as the present invention can be obtained in such cases.

[0060] Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating the operation of the contents container according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, Figure 4 shows the process of separating the lifting section, lifting guide section, and holder section from the rotating section. Figure 4(a) is a cross-sectional view of the contents container before separation, and Figure 4(b) is a cross-sectional view of the contents container after separation.

[0061] Referring to Figure 4, when the lower surface of the coupling portion 210, which is exposed to the outside through the opening 310 of the rotating portion 300, is pressurized by the vertical projection 410, which is pressed by the first edge portion 220 (particularly the upper wall 221), allowing the holder portion 400 to move together with the lifting guide portion 200. Also, when the restricting portion 420 pressurizes the lower surface of the housing portion 110, the lifting portion 100 can move together with the holder portion 400.

[0062] In this way, by pressurizing one exposed area of ​​the coupling portion 210, the lifting portion 100, the lifting guide portion 200, and the holder portion 400 can be integrally separated from the rotating portion 300, and a refill container including the lifting portion, lifting guide portion, and holder portion containing new contents can be connected to the rotating portion 300. In other words, new contents can be easily refilled into the container 1000 from which all the contents have been used.

[0063] The operation of the contents container 1000 shown in Figure 4 is illustrative, and various operating methods can be applied depending on the embodiment to which the present invention is applied.

[0064] Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating the operation of the contents container according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, Figure 5 shows the process of the lifting section and the contents contained therein moving up and down. Figure 5(a) is a cross-sectional view of the contents container before the lifting section rises, and Figure 5(b) is a cross-sectional view of the contents container after the lifting section rises.

[0065] Referring to Figure 5, when the user applies a rotational operation to the rotating part 300, the first locking projection 211 and the second locking projection 311 are fastened together, allowing the lifting guide part 200 to rotate together with the rotating part 300. When the lifting guide part 200 rotates, the second guide projection 230 rotates, and as a result, the lifting part 100 can move up and down while the first guide projection 120 moves along the second guide projection 230.

[0066] In this case, corresponding to the non-circular shape of the through hole 421, one region of the lifting section 100, which 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. As a result, even if the rotating section 300 rotates, the lifting section 100 will not rotate due to the fixed holder section 400, and the lifting section 100 can move up and down vertically by the lifting guide section 200.

[0067] Subsequently, when the lifting section 100 rises to a certain height, the locking step 130 comes into contact with the limiting section 420, thereby restricting the lifting section 100 from rising any further and preventing it from detaching.

[0068] The operation of the contents container 1000 shown in Figure 5 is illustrative, and various operating methods may be applied depending on the embodiment to which the present invention is applied.

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

[0070] Referring to Figure 6, the container set 3000 may include a contents container 1000 and at least one refill container 2000. In this case, the contents container 1000 can be described in the same way as the contents container 1000 shown in Figures 1 to 3.

[0071] The refill container 2000 may include a lifting section, a lifting guide section 200', a holder section 400', and a refill cap 500. In this case, the lifting section, lifting guide section 200', and holder section 400' of the refill container 2000 are described in the same way as the lifting section 100, lifting guide section 200, and holder section 400 of the contents 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 can prevent contamination of the contents by foreign matter by sealing the upper end of the holder portion 400'. When the contents of the contents 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 reattach the refill container 2000 from which the refill cap 500 has been separated to the rotating portion 300 of the contents container 1000.

[0073] In the embodiment, the configuration of the lifting guide section 200' for connecting to the rotating section 300 of the contents container 1000 (e.g., the connecting section 210) can be made invisible from the outside. This improves the aesthetic appearance of the lifting guide section 200.

[0074] In the embodiment, the first edge portion 220 of the refill container 2000 is made so as not to be exposed to the outside of the holder portion 400'. Since the first edge portion 220 is not exposed to the outside, unintended rotation of the first edge portion 220, i.e., rotation of the lifting guide portion 200', can be prevented. As a result, the refill container 2000 itself can prevent unintended lifting and lowering of the lifting portion, and the lifting portion can only be raised and lowered after the lifting guide portion 200' is coupled with the rotating portion 300 of the contents container 1000.

[0075] The container set 3000 shown in Figure 6 is illustrative, and various configurations may be applied depending on the embodiment to which the present invention is applied.

[0076] As described above, the most suitable embodiments have been disclosed in the drawings and specification. Certain terms have been used here solely for the purpose of illustrating the invention and not to limit its meaning or the scope of the invention as defined in the claims. Therefore, a person with ordinary skill in the art should understand that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible. Thus, the true technical scope of protection of the invention should be determined by the technical concept of the claims. [Explanation of symbols]
