Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a lifting support member structure applied to a stick-type container, and specifically, to a lifting support member structure for a stick-type container that can firmly support the contents while minimizing waste of the contents. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, stick-type containers are widely used in various fields such as lip balm, sun stick, deodorant, and pharmaceutical stick. These stick-type containers include a lifting support member installed to allow the contents to be fixed and moved up and down within the main body, and the lifting support member is composed of a contents support part and a lifting part.

[0003] The content support typically takes the form of a dish with side walls, and the contents are filled using a back-filling method. During this process, the portion below the side walls is also filled with contents; however, since the contents in that area cannot be effectively utilized during actual use due to the side walls, a problem arises where some of the contents are wasted.

[0004] Furthermore, the content support section is often formed with multiple intersecting partitions to support the contents that harden after filling. However, this partition structure raises concerns that the contents may not be uniformly distributed in the spaces between the partitions during the filling process, leading to the formation of air bubbles or uneven filling. Moreover, since filling occurs only in a limited direction centered around the partitions, the contents may easily shake or break after hardening, resulting in reduced usability. The problem to be solved

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above problems by providing a lifting support member structure for a stick-type container that minimizes waste of contents through structural improvement of the contents support part and allows the contents to be firmly fixed without shaking even in a hardened state after filling.

[0006] The technical problems of the present invention are not limited to those mentioned above, and other unmentioned technical problems will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below. means of solving the problem

[0007] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a lifting support member structure for a stick-type container is provided.

[0008] In addition, the holder can be moved in the up and down direction while combined with the contents support plate, and can be moved upward when the lifting support member is combined with the main body.

[0009] Additionally, the content support plate may have a through-hole formed therein into which a holder is inserted, and the holder may include a content fixing part located on the upper side of the content support plate and an insertion fixing part formed to extend downward from the content fixing part, pass through the through-hole, and then engage with the bottom surface of the content support plate.

[0010] In addition, the holder may include a plurality of insertion fixing parts.

[0011] In addition, the above-mentioned content fixing part is formed such that a plurality of support parts extend radially from the center, so that the contents hardened after filling can be filled into the space between the support parts.

[0012] In addition, the above contents fixing part may have a first through hole formed in the center and a support projection formed protruding from the upper surface of each support part.

[0013] In addition, the above-mentioned contents fixing part is formed such that a plurality of support parts form an 'X' shape, and the support parts are connected to each other by a joint part having a step difference with the support parts, and a second through hole may be formed in the facing joint part.

[0014] In addition, the contents fixing part may be formed with the central part and each support part convexly upward.

[0015] In addition, the above-mentioned content support plate may have a temporary fixing groove formed therein that corresponds to the bottom surface of the content fixing part. Effects of the invention

[0016] According to the present invention, the contents support plate is formed in the shape of a plate, and since the contents that are filled and hardened surround the holder, the contents can be firmly fixed without shaking, and the contents around the holder adjacent to the contents support plate can also be used, thereby minimizing waste of the contents.

[0017] In addition, since the content fixing part of the holder has a radial support structure, the filling contents are evenly distributed into the space between the supports, suppressing the generation of air bubbles or uneven filling, and the contents can be stably supported until the end without being damaged during use.

[0025] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a stick-type container according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a partially exploded perspective view of a stick-type container according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of a stick-type container according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0026] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the stick-type container (1000) may include a stick container (100), a lifting support member (200), a dial member (300), a cover cap (400), and an outer cap (500).

[0027] The stick container (100) may be in the form of a tube with an empty interior and an open top surface, and may have a lifting support member (200) and a dial member (300) installed inside.

[0028] According to an embodiment, the stick container (100) may include a main body (100a) having a hollow interior and an open top and bottom surface, and a main body support (100b) coupled to the bottom of the main body (100a) to seal the bottom surface of the main body (100a). This is to facilitate the installation of a lifting support member (200) and a dial member (300) within the main body (100a).

[0029] The lifting support member (200) may be provided with a solid content (10) on its upper side and may be provided within the main body (100a) to move the content (10) in an up-and-down direction. The content (10) may include lipstick, foundation, blush, sun stick, deodorant, etc., but is not limited thereto, and other types of cosmetics, medical contents, etc. may also be applied. When the lifting support member (200) moves upward, the content (10) may be exposed to the outside through the open upper surface of the main body (100a), and when the lifting support member (200) moves downward, it may be contained within the main body (100a).

[0030] According to an embodiment, the lifting support member (200) may include a content support plate (210) that supports the contents (10) as shown in FIG. 3, a lifting guide bar (220) that moves the contents support plate (210) in an up-and-down direction in conjunction with a dial member (300), and a holder (230) that fixes the contents (10) supported on the upper side of the contents support plate (210).

[0031] According to an embodiment, the contents support plate (210) may be formed in a plate shape, and the contents (10) may be supported on the upper side in a fixed state by a holder (230). The lifting guide bar (220) may be formed in a bar shape that is integral with the contents support plate (210) from the center downward from the contents support plate (210), and a gear tooth may be formed along the longitudinal direction on the side facing the dial member (300) to mesh with the gear tooth of the pinion gear of the dial member (300). The holder (230) is coupled to the contents support plate (210) so as to protrude upward from the contents support plate (210), and may be surrounded by the contents (10) that have hardened after filling. At least one such holder (230) may be provided, and it is preferable to provide a plurality of such holders to improve the fixing force on the contents (10). The specific structure of the holder (230) and the specific connection relationship between the holder (230) and the contents support plate (210) will be described later to avoid redundant descriptions.

[0032] The dial member (300) is axially coupled to the stick container (100) so that a portion of it is exposed to the outside through the stick container (100), and can move the lifting support member (200) as it rotates up and down.

[0033] According to an embodiment, the dial member (300) may be axially coupled with the main body (100a) inside the main body (100a) located on the lower side of the contents support plate (210) and may be coupled with the lifting support member (200). As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the dial member (300) may include a dial portion that forms a wheel shape and has a portion exposed to the outside, and a pinion gear portion provided to rotate integrally with the dial portion (310) on at least one side of the dial portion. The pinion gear portion may mesh with the rack gear portion in the inner direction of the stick container. Accordingly, when the user rotates the externally exposed dial member (300) downward, the lifting support member (200) moves upward so that the contents (10) can be exposed to the outside, and when the dial member (300) is rotated upward, the lifting support member (200) moves downward so that the contents (10) can be received within the main body (100a). However, the rotation of the dial member (300) and the direction in which the lifting support member (200) moves are not limited to the examples described above.

[0034] According to an embodiment, the dial member (300) may be configured to move inward toward the main body (100a) upon pressing by a user, and to return to the outward toward the main body (100a) when the user releases the press. Additionally, the dial member (300) may be configured to be normally locked so that no arbitrary rotation occurs. Accordingly, when the dial member (300) is pressed inward toward the main body (100a), the lock is released and the dial member (300) reaches a state where it can rotate, and when the pressure is released, it returns to its original position and locks, reaching a state where it cannot rotate.

[0035] For example, when a user wants to withdraw the contents (10) contained within the main body (100a), if the dial member (300) is pushed inward toward the main body (100a) and rotated downward, the lifting support member (200) moves upward so that the contents (10) can be exposed to the outside. After the contents (10) are withdrawn, the user releases the pressure on the dial member (300) to prevent the dial member (300) from rotating, thereby effectively preventing the contents (10) from re-entering the main body (100a) by allowing the dial member (300) to rotate arbitrarily while the contents (10) are in contact with the skin with a predetermined force.

[0036] The cover cap (400) is configured to seal the open upper surface of the stick container (100) and, according to the embodiment, is formed in a plate shape and can be detachably coupled to the upper part of the stick container (100). This cover cap (400) can serve to protect the contents (10) contained within the stick container (100) from foreign substances.

[0037] According to the embodiment, the outer cap (500) may be formed in a tube shape that encloses the stick container (100), the dial member (300) which is partially exposed to the outside of the stick container (100), and the cover cap (400). When the stick container (100) is configured to include a main body (100a) and a main body support (100b) as described above, the outer cap (500) may be formed to enclose the upper surface and side of the main body (100a) and may have its lower end detachably connected to the main body support (100b).

[0038] The stick-type container (1000) according to FIGS. 1 to 3 is exemplary, and various configurations may be applied according to embodiments to which the present invention is applied.

[0040] FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing the structure of a lifting support member applied to a stick-type container according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a drawing showing the process of fixing contents through a lifting support member applied to a stick-type container according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0041] Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the lifting support member (200) may include a contents support plate (210), a lifting guide bar (220), and a holder (230), and the holder (230) may be coupled so as to protrude upward from the contents support plate (210). At this time, the holder (230) may be moved in an up-and-down direction while coupled with the contents support plate (210).

[0042] For example, before the lifting support member (200) is assembled to the main body (100a), the holder (230) coupled to the contents support plate (210) may be moved downward so that the part protruding upward from the contents support plate (210) comes into contact with the upper surface of the contents support plate (210), and when the lifting support member (200) is assembled to the main body (100a), it may be moved upward so that the part protruding upward from the contents support plate (210) is separated from the upper surface of the contents support plate (210). In this manner, with the portion of the holder (230) protruding upward from the content support plate (210) spaced apart from the upper surface of the content support plate (210), the contents (10) are filled through a filling hole (213) formed to penetrate the content support plate (210) and communicate with the inside of the lifting guide bar (220), and as the filled contents (10) cool and harden, the contents (10) can be fixed by surrounding the entire holder (230) in all directions.

[0043] Therefore, the contents (10) can be firmly fixed without shaking by the holder (230), and the contents (10) around the holder (230) adjacent to the contents support plate (210) can be used, thereby minimizing waste of the contents (10).

[0044] According to an embodiment, regarding the coupling structure between the contents support plate (210) and the holder (230), the contents support plate (210) may be formed in a plate shape, and a coupling hole (211) into which the holder (230) can be inserted may be formed through it. At this time, it is preferable that the number of coupling holes (211) be formed corresponds to the number of insertion fixing parts (230b) constituting the holder (230).

[0045] Additionally, the contents support plate (210) may have a temporary fixing groove (212) formed therein, in which the contents fixing part (230a) constituting the holder (230) can be temporarily fixed before the lifting support member (200) is coupled to the main body (100a). Therefore, when the holder (230) is coupled to the contents support plate (210), the operator can easily determine the coupling direction of the holder (230). When the holder (230) is coupled to the contents support plate (210), at least the lower part of the contents fixing part (230a) can be accommodated within the temporary fixing groove (212) until the lifting support member (200) is coupled to the main body (100a), so the holder (230) can remain stable in the front-back-left-right directions until the holder (230) is moved upward.

[0046] The holder (230) may include a content fixing part (230a) located on the upper side of the content support plate (210) and surrounded by the contents (10) that have been filled and hardened, and an insertion fixing part (230b) that extends downward from the content fixing part (230a) and penetrates the coupling hole (211).

[0047] According to the embodiment, the contents fixing part (230a) may be formed as a three-dimensional structure larger than the size of the coupling hole (211), and may be formed in various shapes that can firmly fix the contents (10) without shaking while surrounded by the contents (10) from all directions. The specific shape of the contents fixing part (230a) will be described later in the description relating to FIGS. 6 to 8 to avoid redundant description.

[0048] According to an embodiment, the insertion fixing part (230b) may be formed in the shape of a bar or a rod, and its lower end may be formed to be press-fitted into the coupling hole (211), penetrate the coupling hole (211), and then engage with the bottom surface of the contents support plate (210). Accordingly, when the lifting support member (200) is coupled to the main body (100a) and the holder (230) rises, the upward movement of the holder (230) may be restricted due to the engagement between the lower end of the insertion fixing part (230b) and the contents support plate (210). Furthermore, it is preferable that multiple such insertion fixing parts (230b) be formed on the contents fixing part (230a), thereby preventing the holder (230) from rotating during the process of filling the contents (10).

[0049] The lifting support member (200) according to FIGS. 4 and 5 is exemplary, and various configurations may be applied according to embodiments to which the present invention is applied.

[0051] FIG. 6 is a drawing for explaining a holder according to a first embodiment applied to a stick-type container according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 7 is a drawing for explaining a holder according to a second embodiment applied to a stick-type container according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a drawing for explaining a holder according to a third embodiment applied to a stick-type container according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, FIG. 6(a), FIG. 7(a), and FIG. 8(a) are perspective views of a holder according to each embodiment, and FIG. 6(b), FIG. 7(b), and FIG. 8(b) are plan views of a holder according to each embodiment.

[0052] Referring to FIGS. 6 to 8, the contents fixing part (230a) constituting the holder (230) may be formed such that a plurality of support parts (231) extend radially with respect to the center. The support parts (231) may be formed in various shapes such as polygons like triangles and squares, circles, ellipses, and bars, and it is preferable that at least three are arranged radially. As the contents fixing part (230a) of the holder (230) forms a radial support part (231) structure, the contents (10) being filled can be evenly distributed into the space between the support parts (231), thereby suppressing the generation of bubbles or uneven filling, and the contents (10) can be stably supported without being damaged during use.

[0053] As shown in FIG. 6, the contents fixing part (230a) according to the first embodiment may have a first through hole (232) formed in the center and a support projection (233) formed protruding upward on the upper surface of each support part (231). When the contents (10) are filled, the contents (10) are also filled into the first through hole (232), and the contents (10) are caught in both directions around the support projection (233) by the support projection (233), so that the contents (10) fixed by this contents fixing part (230a) can be firmly supported.

[0054] According to the second embodiment, the contents fixing part (230a) may be formed such that a plurality of support parts (231) form an 'X' shape, as shown in FIG. 7. At this time, the center of the contents fixing part (230a) is formed to have a larger area than the adjacent portions of each support part (231), so that the force acting on the contents (10) can be evenly distributed to each support part (231). In addition, the plurality of support parts (231) may be connected by a joint part (234) having a step difference with the support part (231), and the joint part (234) may be formed to have a lower height than the support part (231). This joint part (234) not only serves to firmly support each support part (231), but also serves to firmly support the contents (10) through the step difference with the support part (231). Furthermore, a second through hole (235) may be formed in the facing joint (234), and when the contents (10) are filled, the contents (10) may also be filled in the second through hole (235) to be more firmly fixed.

[0055] The contents fixing part (230a) according to the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, has a central part and each support part (231) formed convexly upward, so that it can form a flower-like shape when viewed from a flat surface. In this contents fixing part (230a), the contents (10) can be firmly supported because the contents (10) are filled not only between the support parts (231) but also in the groove formed between each support part (231) and the central part.

[0056] The holder (230) according to FIGS. 6 to 8 is exemplary, and various configurations may be applied depending on the embodiment to which the present invention is applied.

[0058] As described above, the best embodiments have been disclosed in the drawings and specification. Specific terms have been used herein, but they are used only for the purpose of describing the invention and are not intended to limit the meaning or the scope of the invention as described in the claims. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent alternative embodiments are possible therefrom.
