[0035] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a makeup tool according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein (a) of FIG. 1 shows a state where an application part and a handle part of the makeup tool according to the embodiment of the present invention are coupled to each other and (b) of FIG. 1 shows a state where the application part and the handle part of the makeup tool according to the embodiment of the present invention are separated from each other. FIG. 2 is an exploded view showing the makeup tool according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing the makeup tool according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a makeup tool 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention largely includes a handle part 100 and an application part 200.

[0037] The handle part 100 is grasped by a user and configured to allow a content to be received therein in such a way as to be separably coupled to the application part 200. In a state where the handle part 100 is coupled and / or separated to and / or from the application part 200, the content received in the handle part 100 is discharged by the user, and if the content is used up, the handle part 100 is replaced with a new handle part refilled with a content. In this case, the content is a liquid, gel or cream type cosmetic, but without being limited thereto, the content may include medical materials or other types of contents. The handle part 100 is cylindrical, which is just exemplary, and therefore, the handle part 100 may have various shapes. According to the present invention, like this, the makeup tool is configured to allow the content to be received in the handle part, so that the content and an application member are used together, without having any container for the content.

[0038] According to the embodiment of the present invention, at least a portion of the handle part 100 is made of a soft and / or elastic material. For example, the handle part 100 is a blow-molded container. Therefore, as the outer peripheral surface of the handle part 100 is pressurized by the user, an internal pressure of the handle part 100 is changed to discharge the content to the outside. However, of course, the handle part 100 may be made of various materials, without being limited thereto.

[0039] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the handle part 100 includes a content receiver 110, a discharger 120, and a stopper 130.

[0040] The content receiver 110 is a portion in which the content is received. The content receiver 110 serves as a handle grasped by the user if the makeup tool is used by him or her, and therefore, the content receiver 110 is designed to an easily graspable shape.

[0041] According to the embodiment of the present invention, one end of the content receiver 110 is coupled to the application part 200 and the other end thereof to the discharger 120.

[0042] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the content receiver 110 has an open end portion 111 on one end thereof. The open end portion 111 is coupled to the discharger 120 from which the content is discharged to allow the content received in the content receiver 110 to be discharged to the outside through the discharger 120.

[0043] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the content receiver 110 has a fastening portion 112 on the other end thereof in such a way as to be detachably coupled to the application part 200. For example, the fastening portion 112 protrudes from the other end of the content receiver 110 and has a screw thread on an outer peripheral surface thereof. In this case, the application part 200 has a coupling portion 212 along which a screw thread corresponding to the screw thread of the fastening portion 112 is formed, so that the fastening portion 112 and the coupling portion 212 are detachably coupled to each other. However, such a coupling structure is just exemplary, and therefore, various replaceable coupling structures may be applied according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0044] The discharger 120 is coupled to the open end portion 111 of the content receiver 110 in such a way as to discharge the content received in the content receiver 110 to the outside and includes an inner support 121, an outer support 122, a discharge end 123, a discharge hole 124, an adjuster 125, a discharge path 126, and an inlet 127.

[0045] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the discharger 120 has the inner support 121 adapted to be inserted into the open end portion 111 and the outer support 122 bent from one region of the outer peripheral surface of the inner support 121 in such a way as to extend toward the outer peripheral surface of the open end portion 111. As a result, a gap between the inner support 121 and the outer support 122 is formed to allow top of the open end portion 111 to be fitted thereto. In this case, the inner support 121 serves to support the inner peripheral surface of the open end portion 111, and the outer support 122 to support the outer peripheral surface of the open end portion 111, thereby allowing the discharger 120 to be fixedly coupled to the open end portion 111 more stably. However, such a coupling structure is just exemplary, and therefore, various replaceable coupling structures may be applied according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0046] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the discharge end 123 is located on the opposite side to the inner support 121 and the outer support 122. In this case, the discharge end 123 decreases gradually in an inner diameter toward a lower end thereof, and the discharge hole 124 is formed on one surface of the discharge end 123 to discharge the content received in the content receiver 110 to the outside.

[0047] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the adjuster 125 is located inside the discharger 120 to adjust the flow of the content discharged. In detail, the adjuster 125 extends inward from the discharge hole 124, and the discharge path 126 is formed inside the adjuster 125 to move the content therealong. Further, the inlet 127 is formed on the end portion of the adjuster 125 to introduce the content of the content receiver 110 thereinto.

[0048] In more detail, the adjuster 125 is configured to allow the discharge path 126 to decrease toward the inside thereof from the discharge hole 124, so that the inlet 127 has a smaller inner diameter than the discharge hole 124. Therefore, if the content moving to the discharge hole 124 reaches the inlet 127, the flow rate of the content primarily decreases by means of a bottleneck phenomenon. Further, if the content passing through the inlet 127 moves toward the discharge hole 124, the flow rate of the content secondarily decreases by means of the discharge path 126 whose diameter increases toward the discharge hole 124. Like this, the flow rate of the content discharged is adjusted by means of the adjuster 125, thereby preventing the content from being discharged excessively at a high speed (by means of the user's pressurization).

[0049] According to the embodiment of the present invention, a buffering area 128 is formed between the adjuster 125 and the discharge end 123 and thus buffers the external force applied to the content, while receiving the content moving toward the discharge hole 124. In detail, the buffering area 128 receives the content that does not pass through the inlet 127 and thus buffers the external force applied to the content. For example, if the content receiver 110 is pressurized by the user, the content that does not pass through the inlet 127 moves toward the buffering area 128. In this case, the content moving to the buffering area 128 is temporarily stored in the buffering area 128 and then escapes from the buffering area 128. Next, the content moves to the inlet 127, and if the content receiver 110 is pressurized by the user, the buffering area 128 buffers the external force (pressure) applied to the content and distributes the external force applied to the inlet 127 upon the discharge of the content. If the discharge hole 124 is kept located toward the bottom, the content is distributedly stored in the buffering area 128 and thus prevented from leaking through the discharge hole 124.

[0050] The stopper 130 is detachably coupled to the open end portion 111 and serves to seal the discharger 120. In this case, the stopper 130 has a screw thread along the inner peripheral surface thereof, and the open end portion 111 has a screw thread corresponding to the screw thread of the stopper 130 on the outer peripheral surface thereof, so that the stopper 130 and the open end portion 111 are coupled to each other by means of the screw threads. However, such a coupling structure is just exemplary, and therefore, various replaceable coupling structures may be applied according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0051] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the stopper 130 has a sealing protrusion 131 protruding from the bottom of the inside thereof to seal the discharge hole 124. In detail, the sealing protrusion 131 protrudes from a position corresponding to the discharge hole 124 at the inside of the stopper 130. If the stopper 130 is coupled to the open end portion 111, therefore, the sealing protrusion 131 is inserted naturally into the discharge hole 124 and thus seals the discharger 120, thereby preventing the content from leaking through the discharge hole 124.

[0052] The application part 200 serves to apply the discharged content to the skin, etc. and is detachably coupled to the handle part 100. The application part 200 includes a housing 210, an application member 220, and a cover 230.

[0053] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the housing 210 includes a mounting portion 211 and the coupling portion 212.

[0054] The mounting portion 211 is formed on one end portion of the housing 210 in such a way as to allow the application member 220 to be detachably coupled thereto. For example, the mounting portion 211 is provided to the form of a groove along the inner peripheral surface of one end portion of the housing 210, and the application member 220 has a second mounting portion (with no reference numeral) formed thereon in such a way as to be coupled to the mounting portion 211, so that the application member 220 is detachably coupled to the housing 210. Therefore, the user's desired type of application member 220 is replaceable, and if the application member 220 is broken or damaged, further, it can be replaced with a new application member easily. However, such a coupling structure is just exemplary, and therefore, various replaceable coupling structures may be applied according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0055] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the coupling portion 212 is formed on the other end portion of the housing 210 in such a way as to allow the handle part 100 to be detachably coupled thereto. For example, the coupling portion 212 is formed concavely on the other end portion of the housing 210 in such a way as to insert at least a portion (especially the fastening portion 112) of the handle part 100 thereinto. In this case, the coupling portion 212 has the screw thread on the inner peripheral surface thereof, and the fastening portion 112 has the screw thread corresponding to the screw thread of the coupling portion 212 on the outer peripheral surface thereof, so that the coupling portion 212 and the fastening portion 112 are coupled to each other through the screw threads. However, such a coupling structure is just exemplary, and therefore, various replaceable coupling structures may be applied according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0056] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the underside of the coupling portion 212 is seated onto a floor of a given place. For example, the underside of the coupling portion 212 has a given width and is flattened. Even in a state where the application part 200 is separated from the handle part 100, as a result, the application part 200 is seated on the floor, independently of the handle part 100. If the coupling portion 212 of the application part 200 is seated on the floor, the application member 220 is avoided from being brought into contact with the floor, so that the application member 220 can be used more sanitarily.

[0057] The application member 220 serves to apply the discharged content to the skin and is detachably coupled to one end portion of the housing 210. In detail, the application member 220 is detachably coupled to the mounting portion 211 of the housing 210. For example, the application member 220 has the second mounting portion (with no reference numeral) coupled to the mounting portion 211, thereby allowing the mounting portion 211 and the second mounting portion to be detachably coupled to each other. Therefore, the user's desired type of application member 220 is replaceable, and if the application member 220 is broken or damaged, further, it can be replaced with a new application member easily.

[0058] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the application member 220 is one selected from the group consisting of a brush, a puff, a comb, a massage tip, and an impregnation member. Without being limited thereto, various types of application members 220 may be applied according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0059] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the cover 230 is detachably coupled to the outsides of the housing 210 and the application member 220. In detail, the lower end portion of the cover 230 is formed to correspond to the housing 210, and the upper end portion of the cover 230 is formed to receive at least a portion of the application member 220. In a state where the housing 210 and the application member 220 are coupled to each other, therefore, the cover 230 completely covers the housing 210 in such a way as to allow at least a portion of the application member 220 to be exposed to the outside from the top thereof. As a result, the cover 230 supports the outsides of the housing 210 and the at least a portion of the application member 220, thereby improving durability of the application part 200 and ensuring stable use of the application member 220.

[0060] The cover 230 may be formed integrally with the housing 210. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the cover 230 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the housing 210, and further, a configuration where the cover 230 and the housing 210 are coupled to each other may be provided in various ways.

[0062] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a makeup tool 1000′ according to another embodiment of the present invention largely includes a handle part 100′ and an application part 200′.

[0063] In this case, all components of the makeup tool 1000′ except for a content receiver 110′ of the handle part 100′ and a coupling portion 212′ of the application part 200′ are the same as those in the embodiment of the present invention as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, and therefore, their repeated explanation will be avoided.

[0064] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the handle part 100′ includes the content receiver 110′ and a discharger 120′.

[0065] The content receiver 110′ is a portion in which a content is received and has one end detachably coupled to the application part 200′ and the discharger 120′. In detail, both of the discharger 120′ from which the content is discharged and the application part 200′ are coupled to one end of the content receiver 110′.

[0066] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the content receiver 110′ has an open end portion 111′ on one end thereof. The open end portion 111′ is coupled to the discharger 120′ from which the content is discharged to allow the content received in the content receiver 110′ to be discharged to the outside through the discharger 120′.

[0067] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the open end portion 111′ has a screw thread on the outer peripheral surface thereof. In this case, the coupling portion 212′ of the application part 200′ has a screw thread corresponding to the screw thread of the open end portion 111′, so that the open end portion 111′ and the coupling portion 212′ are detachably coupled to each other. However, such a coupling structure is just exemplary, and therefore, various replaceable coupling structures may be applied according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0068] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a housing 210′ has a mounting portion 211′ on one end portion thereof and a coupling portion 212′ on the other end portion thereof in such a way as to be detachably coupled to the handle part 100′. For example, the coupling portion 212′ is formed concavely on the other end portion of the housing 210′ in such a way as to insert at least a portion (especially the open end portion 111′) of the handle part 100′ thereinto. In this case, the coupling portion 212′ has the screw thread on the inner peripheral surface thereof, and the open end portion 111′ has the screw thread corresponding to the screw thread of the coupling portion 212′ on the outer peripheral surface thereof, so that the coupling portion 212′ and the open end portion 111′ are coupled to each other by means of the screw threads. However, such a coupling structure is just exemplary, and therefore, various replaceable coupling structures may be applied according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0069] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the coupling portion 212′ has a second sealing protrusion 213′ adapted to seal a discharge hole 124′. In detail, the second sealing protrusion 213′ protrudes from the coupling portion 212′ in a direction of inserting the handle part 100′ thereinto, so that if the application part 200′ is coupled to the handle part 100′, the second sealing protrusion 213′ is inserted into the discharge hole 124′. In a process where the handle part 100′ and the application part 200′ are coupled to each other and separated from each other, therefore, the second sealing protrusion 213′ is inserted into or drawn from the discharge hole 124′ naturally, thereby closing and opening the discharge hole 124′.

[0070] FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a use state of the makeup tool according to the embodiment of the present invention, wherein (a) of FIG. 6 shows a state where the content of the handle part of the makeup tool according to the embodiment of the present invention is discharged and (b) of FIG. 6 shows a state where the content discharged from the handle part of the makeup tool according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied to the user's skin.

[0071] An explanation of a method for using the makeup tool 1000 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be given below with reference to FIG. 6.

[0072] The stopper 130 of the makeup tool 1000 is separated by the user, and next, the content received in the handle part 100 is discharged. After that, the discharged content is applied to the user's skin through the application part 200. For example, the handle part 100 is pressurized by the user to allow the content such as a cosmetic substance received in the handle part 100 to be discharged to the user's skin. Next, the stopper 130 is coupled again to prevent the content of the handle part 100 from leaking to the outside, and after that, the handle part 100 and / or a portion of the application part 200 are grasped by the user to allow the content discharged to the skin to be applied to the skin through the application member 220. Under the user's selection, further, it is possible that after the handle part 100 has been separated, the content is discharged, and otherwise, in a state where the handle part 100 is separated, the content is applicable to the skin only using the application part 200.

[0073] FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a use state of the makeup tool according to another embodiment of the present invention, wherein (a) of FIG. 7 shows a state where the content of the handle part of the makeup tool according to another embodiment of the present invention is discharged and (b) of FIG. 7 shows a state where the content discharged from the handle part of the makeup tool according to another embodiment of the present invention is applied to the user's skin.

[0074] An explanation of a method for using the makeup tool 1000′ according to another embodiment of the present invention will be given below with reference to FIG. 7.

[0075] The handle part 100′ of the makeup tool 1000′ is separated by the user, and next, the content received in the handle part 100′ is discharged. After that, the discharged content is applied to the user's skin through the application part 200′. For example, the handle part 100′ is pressurized by the user to allow the content such as a cosmetic substance received in the handle part 100′ to be discharged to the user's skin. Next, the application part 200′ is kept standing on the floor, independently of the handle part 100′. The application member 220′ of the application part 200′ is avoided from being brought into contact with the floor, so that the application member 220′ can be used more sanitarily.

[0076] After the content has been discharged, the handle part 100′ is coupled again to the application part 200′ to prevent the content of the handle part 100′ from leaking to the outside, and after that, the handle part 100′ and / or a portion of the application part 200′ are grasped by the user to allow the content discharged to the skin to be applied to the skin through the application member 220′.

[0033] Hereinafter, example embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals or symbols are parts or components performing the same functions. Also, in explaining the example embodiments, detailed description on known elements or functions will be omitted if it is determined that such description will interfere with understanding of the embodiments. In addition, the example embodiments may be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein but may be modified and variously implemented by those skilled in the art. Further, top, bottom, left and right directions as will be described below are determined with reference to the drawings, and accordingly, the scope of the present invention is not necessarily restricted to the corresponding directions.

[0034] When it is said that one element is described as being “connected” or “coupled” to the other element, one element may be directly connected or coupled to the other element, but it should be understood that another element may be present between the two elements. In contrast, when it is said that one element is described as being “directly connected” or “directly coupled” to the other element, it should be understood that another element is not present between the two elements. Also, in explaining elements, terms like “first”, “second”, “A”, “B”, “(a)”, “(b)”, etc. may be used. However, such terms are used to distinguish one from the others only and they do not affect the essence, nature, sequence, order, etc.

[0035] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a makeup tool according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein (a) of FIG. 1 shows a state where an application part and a handle part of the makeup tool according to the embodiment of the present invention are coupled to each other and (b) of FIG. 1 shows a state where the application part and the handle part of the makeup tool according to the embodiment of the present invention are separated from each other. FIG. 2 is an exploded view showing the makeup tool according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing the makeup tool according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a makeup tool 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention largely includes a handle part 100 and an application part 200.

[0037] The handle part 100 is grasped by a user and configured to allow a content to be received therein in such a way as to be separably coupled to the application part 200. In a state where the handle part 100 is coupled and / or separated to and / or from the application part 200, the content received in the handle part 100 is discharged by the user, and if the content is used up, the handle part 100 is replaced with a new handle part refilled with a content. In this case, the content is a liquid, gel or cream type cosmetic, but without being limited thereto, the content may include medical materials or other types of contents. The handle part 100 is cylindrical, which is just exemplary, and therefore, the handle part 100 may have various shapes. According to the present invention, like this, the makeup tool is configured to allow the content to be received in the handle part, so that the content and an application member are used together, without having any container for the content.

[0038] According to the embodiment of the present invention, at least a portion of the handle part 100 is made of a soft and / or elastic material. For example, the handle part 100 is a blow-molded container. Therefore, as the outer peripheral surface of the handle part 100 is pressurized by the user, an internal pressure of the handle part 100 is changed to discharge the content to the outside. However, of course, the handle part 100 may be made of various materials, without being limited thereto.

[0039] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the handle part 100 includes a content receiver 110, a discharger 120, and a stopper 130.

[0040] The content receiver 110 is a portion in which the content is received. The content receiver 110 serves as a handle grasped by the user if the makeup tool is used by him or her, and therefore, the content receiver 110 is designed to an easily graspable shape.

[0041] According to the embodiment of the present invention, one end of the content receiver 110 is coupled to the application part 200 and the other end thereof to the discharger 120.

[0042] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the content receiver 110 has an open end portion 111 on one end thereof. The open end portion 111 is coupled to the discharger 120 from which the content is discharged to allow the content received in the content receiver 110 to be discharged to the outside through the discharger 120.

[0043] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the content receiver 110 has a fastening portion 112 on the other end thereof in such a way as to be detachably coupled to the application part 200. For example, the fastening portion 112 protrudes from the other end of the content receiver 110 and has a screw thread on an outer peripheral surface thereof. In this case, the application part 200 has a coupling portion 212 along which a screw thread corresponding to the screw thread of the fastening portion 112 is formed, so that the fastening portion 112 and the coupling portion 212 are detachably coupled to each other. However, such a coupling structure is just exemplary, and therefore, various replaceable coupling structures may be applied according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0044] The discharger 120 is coupled to the open end portion 111 of the content receiver 110 in such a way as to discharge the content received in the content receiver 110 to the outside and includes an inner support 121, an outer support 122, a discharge end 123, a discharge hole 124, an adjuster 125, a discharge path 126, and an inlet 127.

[0045] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the discharger 120 has the inner support 121 adapted to be inserted into the open end portion 111 and the outer support 122 bent from one region of the outer peripheral surface of the inner support 121 in such a way as to extend toward the outer peripheral surface of the open end portion 111. As a result, a gap between the inner support 121 and the outer support 122 is formed to allow top of the open end portion 111 to be fitted thereto. In this case, the inner support 121 serves to support the inner peripheral surface of the open end portion 111, and the outer support 122 to support the outer peripheral surface of the open end portion 111, thereby allowing the discharger 120 to be fixedly coupled to the open end portion 111 more stably. However, such a coupling structure is just exemplary, and therefore, various replaceable coupling structures may be applied according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0046] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the discharge end 123 is located on the opposite side to the inner support 121 and the outer support 122. In this case, the discharge end 123 decreases gradually in an inner diameter toward a lower end thereof, and the discharge hole 124 is formed on one surface of the discharge end 123 to discharge the content received in the content receiver 110 to the outside.

[0047] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the adjuster 125 is located inside the discharger 120 to adjust the flow of the content discharged. In detail, the adjuster 125 extends inward from the discharge hole 124, and the discharge path 126 is formed inside the adjuster 125 to move the content therealong. Further, the inlet 127 is formed on the end portion of the adjuster 125 to introduce the content of the content receiver 110 thereinto.

[0048] In more detail, the adjuster 125 is configured to allow the discharge path 126 to decrease toward the inside thereof from the discharge hole 124, so that the inlet 127 has a smaller inner diameter than the discharge hole 124. Therefore, if the content moving to the discharge hole 124 reaches the inlet 127, the flow rate of the content primarily decreases by means of a bottleneck phenomenon. Further, if the content passing through the inlet 127 moves toward the discharge hole 124, the flow rate of the content secondarily decreases by means of the discharge path 126 whose diameter increases toward the discharge hole 124. Like this, the flow rate of the content discharged is adjusted by means of the adjuster 125, thereby preventing the content from being discharged excessively at a high speed (by means of the user's pressurization).

[0049] According to the embodiment of the present invention, a buffering area 128 is formed between the adjuster 125 and the discharge end 123 and thus buffers the external force applied to the content, while receiving the content moving toward the discharge hole 124. In detail, the buffering area 128 receives the content that does not pass through the inlet 127 and thus buffers the external force applied to the content. For example, if the content receiver 110 is pressurized by the user, the content that does not pass through the inlet 127 moves toward the buffering area 128. In this case, the content moving to the buffering area 128 is temporarily stored in the buffering area 128 and then escapes from the buffering area 128. Next, the content moves to the inlet 127, and if the content receiver 110 is pressurized by the user, the buffering area 128 buffers the external force (pressure) applied to the content and distributes the external force applied to the inlet 127 upon the discharge of the content. If the discharge hole 124 is kept located toward the bottom, the content is distributedly stored in the buffering area 128 and thus prevented from leaking through the discharge hole 124.

[0050] The stopper 130 is detachably coupled to the open end portion 111 and serves to seal the discharger 120. In this case, the stopper 130 has a screw thread along the inner peripheral surface thereof, and the open end portion 111 has a screw thread corresponding to the screw thread of the stopper 130 on the outer peripheral surface thereof, so that the stopper 130 and the open end portion 111 are coupled to each other by means of the screw threads. However, such a coupling structure is just exemplary, and therefore, various replaceable coupling structures may be applied according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0051] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the stopper 130 has a sealing protrusion 131 protruding from the bottom of the inside thereof to seal the discharge hole 124. In detail, the sealing protrusion 131 protrudes from a position corresponding to the discharge hole 124 at the inside of the stopper 130. If the stopper 130 is coupled to the open end portion 111, therefore, the sealing protrusion 131 is inserted naturally into the discharge hole 124 and thus seals the discharger 120, thereby preventing the content from leaking through the discharge hole 124.

[0052] The application part 200 serves to apply the discharged content to the skin, etc. and is detachably coupled to the handle part 100. The application part 200 includes a housing 210, an application member 220, and a cover 230.

[0053] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the housing 210 includes a mounting portion 211 and the coupling portion 212.

[0054] The mounting portion 211 is formed on one end portion of the housing 210 in such a way as to allow the application member 220 to be detachably coupled thereto. For example, the mounting portion 211 is provided to the form of a groove along the inner peripheral surface of one end portion of the housing 210, and the application member 220 has a second mounting portion (with no reference numeral) formed thereon in such a way as to be coupled to the mounting portion 211, so that the application member 220 is detachably coupled to the housing 210. Therefore, the user's desired type of application member 220 is replaceable, and if the application member 220 is broken or damaged, further, it can be replaced with a new application member easily. However, such a coupling structure is just exemplary, and therefore, various replaceable coupling structures may be applied according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0055] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the coupling portion 212 is formed on the other end portion of the housing 210 in such a way as to allow the handle part 100 to be detachably coupled thereto. For example, the coupling portion 212 is formed concavely on the other end portion of the housing 210 in such a way as to insert at least a portion (especially the fastening portion 112) of the handle part 100 thereinto. In this case, the coupling portion 212 has the screw thread on the inner peripheral surface thereof, and the fastening portion 112 has the screw thread corresponding to the screw thread of the coupling portion 212 on the outer peripheral surface thereof, so that the coupling portion 212 and the fastening portion 112 are coupled to each other through the screw threads. However, such a coupling structure is just exemplary, and therefore, various replaceable coupling structures may be applied according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0056] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the underside of the coupling portion 212 is seated onto a floor of a given place. For example, the underside of the coupling portion 212 has a given width and is flattened. Even in a state where the application part 200 is separated from the handle part 100, as a result, the application part 200 is seated on the floor, independently of the handle part 100. If the coupling portion 212 of the application part 200 is seated on the floor, the application member 220 is avoided from being brought into contact with the floor, so that the application member 220 can be used more sanitarily.

[0057] The application member 220 serves to apply the discharged content to the skin and is detachably coupled to one end portion of the housing 210. In detail, the application member 220 is detachably coupled to the mounting portion 211 of the housing 210. For example, the application member 220 has the second mounting portion (with no reference numeral) coupled to the mounting portion 211, thereby allowing the mounting portion 211 and the second mounting portion to be detachably coupled to each other. Therefore, the user's desired type of application member 220 is replaceable, and if the application member 220 is broken or damaged, further, it can be replaced with a new application member easily.

[0058] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the application member 220 is one selected from the group consisting of a brush, a puff, a comb, a massage tip, and an impregnation member. Without being limited thereto, various types of application members 220 may be applied according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0059] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the cover 230 is detachably coupled to the outsides of the housing 210 and the application member 220. In detail, the lower end portion of the cover 230 is formed to correspond to the housing 210, and the upper end portion of the cover 230 is formed to receive at least a portion of the application member 220. In a state where the housing 210 and the application member 220 are coupled to each other, therefore, the cover 230 completely covers the housing 210 in such a way as to allow at least a portion of the application member 220 to be exposed to the outside from the top thereof. As a result, the cover 230 supports the outsides of the housing 210 and the at least a portion of the application member 220, thereby improving durability of the application part 200 and ensuring stable use of the application member 220.

[0060] The cover 230 may be formed integrally with the housing 210. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the cover 230 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the housing 210, and further, a configuration where the cover 230 and the housing 210 are coupled to each other may be provided in various ways.

[0062] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a makeup tool 1000′ according to another embodiment of the present invention largely includes a handle part 100′ and an application part 200′.

[0063] In this case, all components of the makeup tool 1000′ except for a content receiver 110′ of the handle part 100′ and a coupling portion 212′ of the application part 200′ are the same as those in the embodiment of the present invention as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, and therefore, their repeated explanation will be avoided.

[0064] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the handle part 100′ includes the content receiver 110′ and a discharger 120′.

[0065] The content receiver 110′ is a portion in which a content is received and has one end detachably coupled to the application part 200′ and the discharger 120′. In detail, both of the discharger 120′ from which the content is discharged and the application part 200′ are coupled to one end of the content receiver 110′.

[0066] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the content receiver 110′ has an open end portion 111′ on one end thereof. The open end portion 111′ is coupled to the discharger 120′ from which the content is discharged to allow the content received in the content receiver 110′ to be discharged to the outside through the discharger 120′.

[0067] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the open end portion 111′ has a screw thread on the outer peripheral surface thereof. In this case, the coupling portion 212′ of the application part 200′ has a screw thread corresponding to the screw thread of the open end portion 111′, so that the open end portion 111′ and the coupling portion 212′ are detachably coupled to each other. However, such a coupling structure is just exemplary, and therefore, various replaceable coupling structures may be applied according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0068] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a housing 210′ has a mounting portion 211′ on one end portion thereof and a coupling portion 212′ on the other end portion thereof in such a way as to be detachably coupled to the handle part 100′. For example, the coupling portion 212′ is formed concavely on the other end portion of the housing 210′ in such a way as to insert at least a portion (especially the open end portion 111′) of the handle part 100′ thereinto. In this case, the coupling portion 212′ has the screw thread on the inner peripheral surface thereof, and the open end portion 111′ has the screw thread corresponding to the screw thread of the coupling portion 212′ on the outer peripheral surface thereof, so that the coupling portion 212′ and the open end portion 111′ are coupled to each other by means of the screw threads. However, such a coupling structure is just exemplary, and therefore, various replaceable coupling structures may be applied according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0069] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the coupling portion 212′ has a second sealing protrusion 213′ adapted to seal a discharge hole 124′. In detail, the second sealing protrusion 213′ protrudes from the coupling portion 212′ in a direction of inserting the handle part 100′ thereinto, so that if the application part 200′ is coupled to the handle part 100′, the second sealing protrusion 213′ is inserted into the discharge hole 124′. In a process where the handle part 100′ and the application part 200′ are coupled to each other and separated from each other, therefore, the second sealing protrusion 213′ is inserted into or drawn from the discharge hole 124′ naturally, thereby closing and opening the discharge hole 124′.

[0070] FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a use state of the makeup tool according to the embodiment of the present invention, wherein (a) of FIG. 6 shows a state where the content of the handle part of the makeup tool according to the embodiment of the present invention is discharged and (b) of FIG. 6 shows a state where the content discharged from the handle part of the makeup tool according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied to the user's skin.

[0071] An explanation of a method for using the makeup tool 1000 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be given below with reference to FIG. 6.

[0072] The stopper 130 of the makeup tool 1000 is separated by the user, and next, the content received in the handle part 100 is discharged. After that, the discharged content is applied to the user's skin through the application part 200. For example, the handle part 100 is pressurized by the user to allow the content such as a cosmetic substance received in the handle part 100 to be discharged to the user's skin. Next, the stopper 130 is coupled again to prevent the content of the handle part 100 from leaking to the outside, and after that, the handle part 100 and / or a portion of the application part 200 are grasped by the user to allow the content discharged to the skin to be applied to the skin through the application member 220. Under the user's selection, further, it is possible that after the handle part 100 has been separated, the content is discharged, and otherwise, in a state where the handle part 100 is separated, the content is applicable to the skin only using the application part 200.

[0073] FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a use state of the makeup tool according to another embodiment of the present invention, wherein (a) of FIG. 7 shows a state where the content of the handle part of the makeup tool according to another embodiment of the present invention is discharged and (b) of FIG. 7 shows a state where the content discharged from the handle part of the makeup tool according to another embodiment of the present invention is applied to the user's skin.

[0074] An explanation of a method for using the makeup tool 1000′ according to another embodiment of the present invention will be given below with reference to FIG. 7.

[0075] The handle part 100′ of the makeup tool 1000′ is separated by the user, and next, the content received in the handle part 100′ is discharged. After that, the discharged content is applied to the user's skin through the application part 200′. For example, the handle part 100′ is pressurized by the user to allow the content such as a cosmetic substance received in the handle part 100′ to be discharged to the user's skin. Next, the application part 200′ is kept standing on the floor, independently of the handle part 100′. The application member 220′ of the application part 200′ is avoided from being brought into contact with the floor, so that the application member 220′ can be used more sanitarily.

[0076] After the content has been discharged, the handle part 100′ is coupled again to the application part 200′ to prevent the content of the handle part 100′ from leaking to the outside, and after that, the handle part 100′ and / or a portion of the application part 200′ are grasped by the user to allow the content discharged to the skin to be applied to the skin through the application member 220′. Under the user's selection, further, it is possible that in a state where the handle part 100′ is separated, the content is applicable to the skin only using the application part 200′.
