[0075] <Combination structure and operation of lower container assembly (10)>

[0076] The coupling structure and operation of the lower container assembly (10) are described as follows.

[0077] At least one part of the rotating member (300) is located within the first pipe section (130). The first support rib section (330) of the rotating member (300) is located and supported on the upper end of the first pipe section (130), and the second support rib section (340) of the rotating member (300) can be located and supported under a support step section (134) formed on the inner surface of the first pipe section (130). Thus, the upper and lower positions of the rotating member (300) can be maintained.

[0078] The dial member (400) is coupled to the bottom of the rotating member (300) and the bottom of the first pipe section (130). At this time, the bottom of the rotating body of the rotating member (300) is inserted into the inner dial section (420), and the first meshing section (350) provided at the bottom of the rotating member (300) and the second meshing section (422) provided at the inner circumference of the inner dial section (420) mesh with each other. Additionally, the bottom of the first pipe section (130) is inserted between the inner dial section (420) and the outer dial section (410), and the second position maintaining section (414) provided at the inner circumference of the outer dial section (410) and the first position maintaining section (136) provided at the bottom of the first pipe section (130) can be engaged with each other. The dial member (400) can maintain its position without detaching from the bottom of the first pipe member (130) by means of engagement between the first position maintaining member (136) and the second position maintaining member (414). Additionally, the dial member (400) can rotate around the bottom of the first pipe member (130). Rotation of the dial member (400) can be easily achieved by the operation three-dimensional part (412) provided on the outer circumference of the outer dial member (410). Furthermore, since the first engagement part (350) of the rotating member (300) and the second engagement part (422) of the dial member (400) are engaged with each other, when the dial member (400) rotates, the rotating member (300) can rotate integrally with the dial member (400).

[0079] A tray member (200) can be mounted within the container space (112) of the container member (100). At this time, the tray body part (210) can be located within the container space (112). The center rod part (230) can be located within the second pipe part (140). The screw rod part (220) can be located within the first pipe part (130) and the third pipe part (150). At this time, the first screw rod part (220-1) can be located within the first pipe part (130), and the second screw rod part (220-2) can be located within the third pipe part (150). However, the opposite is also possible. That is, the left-right directionality can be ignored during the mounting process of the tray member (200). Hereinafter, it is described that the first screw rod part (220-1) is located within the first pipe part (130).

[0080] The screw rod portion (220) located within the first pipe portion (130) may be located within the through portion (312) of the rotating member (300). That is, the rotating body portion (310) of the rotating member (300) may be located between the screw rod portion (220) and the first pipe portion (130). At this time, the first screw portion (222) provided on the outer circumference of the screw rod portion (220) may be engaged with the second screw portion (320) provided on the inner circumference of the rotating member (300).

[0081] The above dial member (400) and rotation member (300) can constitute a tray operation module (V) capable of displacing the tray member (200) in the up and down direction. Accordingly, the tray operation module (V) according to the embodiment can be located off-center of the lower container assembly (10). According to the embodiment, the dial member (400) of the tray operation module (V) can be located at the lower corner portion of the lower container assembly (10).

[0082] As a result of having the above-described coupling structure, when the dial member (400) rotates, the rotating member (300) rotates integrally with the dial member (400), and the rotation of the rotating member (300) can be realized as an upward and downward displacement of the tray member (200).

[0083] That is, when the dial member (400) is rotated as shown by arrow R in Fig. 6 (a), the tray member (200) can be displaced in the up and down direction as shown by arrow Q. Accordingly, the contents fixedly supported on the tray member (200) can be raised to be exposed onto the lower container assembly (10), or the contents can be lowered to be inserted into the lower container assembly (10).

[0085] <Combination structure and operation of the upper container assembly (20)>

[0086] The coupling structure and operation of the upper container assembly (20) are described as follows.

[0087] An inner cap member (800) may be coupled to the lower part of a button member (700). Specifically, an inner cap side portion (820) may be fitted and fixed within a button space portion (730). The button member (700) and the inner cap member (800) may form an overcap button module (C) by being coupled to each other. At this time, the inner cap bottom portion (830) may be located further inward than the button side portion (720) of the button member (700) and may extend further downward.

[0088] The overcap button module (C) can be inserted into the overcap member (600). Specifically, the overcap button module (C) can be inserted into the upper part of the overcap space (612) of the overcap member (600). At this time, the overcap rib portion (614) can be positioned between the first button projection (712) provided on the outer periphery of the button top portion (710) of the button member (700) and the second button projection (722) provided on the lower outer periphery of the button side portion (720). Accordingly, the overcap button module (C) can move in the up and down direction as indicated by arrow P in FIG. 6 (b) without deviating from the overcap member (600) within the upper part of the overcap space (612).

[0090] <Combination and separation of the lower container assembly (10) and the upper container assembly (20)>

[0091] The connection and separation of the lower container assembly (10) and the upper container assembly (20) are described as follows.

[0092] As shown in FIG. 1 (c), the lower container assembly (10) can be inserted into the upper container assembly (20) from the lower direction of the upper container assembly (20). The contents contained in the lower container assembly (10) can be covered by the upper container assembly (20).

[0093] As illustrated in FIG. 6(b), when the upper container assembly (20) and the lower container assembly (10) are combined, a guide space is formed between the inner cap bottom portion (830) of the inner cap member (800) and the over cap body portion (610), which is a gap space open downwardly, and the upper portion of the container body portion (110) can be inserted into the guide space. Accordingly, the upper portion of the container body portion (110) can come into contact with the lower portion of the button side portion (720). By doing so, sealing of the contents filled in the container space portion (112) is achieved, and the protective effect for the contents can be enhanced.

[0094] In addition, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), when the upper container assembly (20) and the lower container assembly (10) are combined, the side portion of the dial member (400) included in the lower container assembly (10) can be covered and concealed by the overcap member (600). Therefore, when the upper container assembly (20) and the lower container assembly (10) are combined, the lower container assembly (10) can be kept from having any part other than the bottom surface exposed to the outside.

[0095] When the contents are to be used, the overcap button module (C) provided in the upper container assembly (20) can be pressed in the downward direction of arrow P in FIG. 6 (b) to detach the lower container assembly (10) from the upper container assembly (20). That is, by pressing the overcap button module (C) in the downward direction of arrow P in FIG. 6 (b), the overcap button module (C) presses the upper part of the container body part (110), and at least one part of the lower container assembly (10) can be detached downward from the overcap space part (612).

[0097] <Method of filling contents into a contents container (1) according to an example>

[0098] Figures 7 (a) and (b) illustrate a method of filling contents into a contents container (1) according to an embodiment, each showing a filling method according to a different embodiment.

[0099] First, according to FIG. 7(a), a method of filling contents into a contents container (1) may be a method of filling liquid or semi-liquid contents into a contents container space (112) as indicated by arrow A while the lower container assembly (10) is in an upright position. An embodiment in which this method is usable may be an embodiment in which the tray bottom surface (212) of the tray member (200) is closed. That is, it may be an embodiment in which the contents are closed so that they do not leak downward through the tray bottom surface of the tray member (200). That is, the first open portion (226) of the screw rod portion (220) and the second open portion (234) of the center rod portion (230) may each be in a sealed state.

[0100] This filling method can be described as a front filling method because the filling of the contents is performed while the contents container (1) is in an upright position.

[0101] Next, according to FIG. 7(b), another method of filling the contents into the contents container (1) can be performed with the contents container (1) in an up-and-down position, with the lower container assembly (10) and the upper container assembly (20) combined with the dial member (400) and the support member (500) detached from the lower container assembly (10). In this state, the contents can be filled into the contents container space (112) through the second hollow portion (232) of the center load portion (230) as indicated by arrow B. An embodiment in which this method is usable may be an embodiment in which the tray bottom surface portion (212) of the tray member (200) is open. That is, the method may be carried out in an embodiment in which the second open portion (234) of the second hollow portion (232) of the center rod portion (230) is in an open state so that the contents can be injected into the contents space portion (112) through the bottom surface of the tray member (200). In addition, according to the embodiment, the first hollow portion (224) provided in the screw rod portion (220) may also be in an embodiment having a first open portion (226). As such, since the first open portion (226) is in an open state, an air vent can be formed as indicated by arrow H during the filling process of the contents.

[0102] This filling method can be described as a back filling method because the filling of the contents is performed in an upside-down position of the contents container (1).

[0104] <Effect of the contents container (1) according to the example>

[0105] The effects of the contents container (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention will be explained below.

[0106] In the contents container (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention, the tray operation module (V) may be positioned off-center of the lower container assembly (10). Accordingly, the overall space utilization of the lower container assembly (10) and the contents container (1) can be increased. Furthermore, since the tray operation module (V) is positioned off-center of the lower container assembly (10), the area where the dial member (400) provided in the tray operation module (V) is exposed in a lateral direction is expanded, thereby improving the user's convenience of operating the tray operation module (V). Additionally, when the lower container assembly (10) and the upper container assembly (20) are combined, if only one support member (500) is inserted into the lower part of the lower container assembly (10), the parts other than the lower surface of the tray operation module (V) are sealed, so the number of parts can be reduced and the appearance can be made aesthetically pleasing.

[0107] In the contents container (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention, the tray member (200) may have a structure that is symmetric in the left-right direction. That is, with the center rod portion (230) as the center, the screw rod portion (220) may be symmetrically provided on both sides of the center rod portion (230). Therefore, when the tray member (200) is coupled to the contents container member (100), assembly can be performed without needing to consider the directionality.

[0108] In addition, since the tray member (200) has a symmetrical structure in the left and right directions, the tilting phenomenon of the tray member (200) can be prevented even when the dial member (400) operates on one side. Therefore, user convenience can be improved.

[0109] In addition, the filling method of the contents container (1) according to the embodiment of the present invention can be selected by the user. That is, as described above, front filling and back filling methods can be selected respectively. Furthermore, when using the back filling method, the contents are filled through the center rod portion (230) located in the center of the tray member (200), so the contents can be filled evenly. Also, according to the embodiment, the first hollow portion (224) provided in the screw rod portion (220) has a first open portion (226), so that an air vent is achieved, thereby improving the air pocket phenomenon that may occur during the contents filling process.

[0110] In addition, as the tray operation module (V) is positioned off-center, the center rod portion (230) used for filling the contents when using the bag filling method can be positioned at the center of the contents container (1). Furthermore, a screw rod portion (220) having a first hollow portion (224) used for air venting can be positioned symmetrically to the left and right of the center rod portion (230). Therefore, filling the contents and air venting can be performed more effectively.

[0111] In addition, in the contents container (1) according to the embodiment of the present invention, the lower container assembly (10) is entirely inserted into the upper container assembly (20), and when the lower container assembly (10) is inserted into the upper container assembly (20), the side portion of the dial member (400) included in the lower container assembly (10) may not be exposed to the outside. Accordingly, the contents container (1) according to the embodiment of the present invention provides a sense of a solid, unbent object mass, thereby providing an aesthetically pleasing design.

[0113] Although preferred embodiments have been illustrated and described above, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. It is understood that various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the essence of the invention as claimed in the claims, and such modifications should not be understood individually from the technical spirit or perspective of the present invention.
