Description

Content container containing the application tool

[0001] The present invention relates to a contents container including an application tool, and more particularly, to a contents container capable of withdrawing and applying contents without the need to carry a separate tool, as the application tool is coupled to a cap.

[0002] To use the contents contained in the container, the user can either scoop out the contents by hand or use a tool. When scooping out the contents by hand, the scooped contents may become contaminated due to foreign substances on the hands, and depending on the shape of the container, the contents contained in the container itself may become contaminated. Furthermore, depending on the intended use of the contents, scooping out by hand may not be appropriate. Using a tool also presents the inconvenience of having to carry a separate tool, and the problem of the tool being exposed to the outside, causing contamination.

[0003] For this reason, a product was developed that provided a tool for removing and using the contents together with the contents container, but since the contents container and the tool were configured separately, inconvenience in carrying and hygiene issues still occurred.

[0004] A form in which the tool is integrated into the contents container has also been developed, but the tool must be limited to a circular shape in order to be combined with the contents container, and therefore there are limitations in controlling the application area or the amount of contents withdrawn.

[0005] The present invention provides a contents container that enables withdrawal and application of contents without the need to carry a separate tool, as the application tool is attached to the cap.

[0006] In addition, another aspect of the present disclosure is to provide a contents container capable of appropriately controlling the amount of contents withdrawn.

[0058]

[0059] In one embodiment, the application tool (140) may be formed in a non-circular shape. Conventionally, the application tool (140) was limited to a circular shape in order to be attached to a container body configuration such as a wiper. However, according to the present invention, the application tool (140) is not limited to a circular shape and can be manufactured in various shapes.

[0060] For example, the application tool (140) may have a long and flat shape. The application tool (140) may have a flat shape with a wide surface area to facilitate application to the skin.

[0061] In one embodiment, the application tool (140) may include an application tool body (141) on which cosmetic contents are applied, at least one coupling protrusion (145) formed on a rim, and a coupling portion (143) protruding from the upper portion of the application tool body (141) and coupled to a coupling groove (1231) of an inner cap (120).

[0062] In one embodiment, the application tool (140) may be composed of a first region (1411) of a flat shape having the same size from top to bottom, a second region (1412) extending from the top of the first region (1411) and having a diameter that is gradually smaller than the diameter of the first region (1411), and a third region (1413) extending from the top of the second region (1412) and having a diameter that is gradually larger than the diameter of the second region (1412).

[0063] In one embodiment, the application tool (140) may be formed of steel. According to one embodiment, the application tool (140) is formed of steel, allowing for easy application of the contents and simple cleaning. Furthermore, it enhances hygiene and conveys a luxurious aesthetic.

[0064] In one embodiment, the coupling portion (143) may be formed in the shape and size of a rectangular parallelepiped corresponding to the coupling groove (1231) of the inner cap (120). However, the present invention is not limited thereto and may be formed in various shapes and sizes.

[0065] In one embodiment, the coupling protrusion (145) may be formed in a shape and size corresponding to the coupling protrusion groove (1233) of the inner cap (120). However, the present invention is not limited thereto and may be formed in various shapes and sizes.

[0066] In one embodiment, the combination of the outer cap (110) and the inner cap (120), and the combination of the inner cap (120) and the gasket (130) may be combined by a method of fitting together inside or by a method using an adhesive material.

[0067]

[0068] Figures 6 and 7 are perspective views of a wiper of a contents container according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0069] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, in one embodiment, the wiper (200) may be formed with a hole (211) for inserting an application tool (140). In addition, the wiper (200) may be coupled to the container body (300) so as to be rotatable 360 ​​degrees around the central axis of the container body (300).

[0070] In one embodiment, the wiper (200) may include a rim portion (210) for coupling with a container body (300) and a wiper body (220). The rim portion (210) may include an upper surface (212) extending outwardly from an upper end of the wiper body (220) and a side portion (213) extending downwardly from an outer periphery of the upper surface. The container body (300) may be inserted between the wiper body (220) and the side portion (213). In addition, the side portion (213) may have at least one of a protrusion formed along an inner rim to be inserted into at least a portion of the container body (300) or a groove to receive at least a portion of the container body (300).

[0071] In the case of a cylindrical applicator, the shape of the rotational cross-section does not change even when rotated, so there is no need for the wiper into which the applicator is inserted to rotate. However, in the case where the applicator (140) has a non-circular shape as in one embodiment of the present invention, the shape of the rotational cross-section changes when the applicator (140) rotates, so the wiper (200) into which the applicator (140) is inserted must rotate together. According to one embodiment, the groove / protrusion of the wiper (200) is rotatably coupled with the corresponding protrusion / groove of the container body (300), so that the wiper (200) can rotate 360 ​​degrees around the central axis of the container body (300).

[0072] In one embodiment, the wiper body (220) may have an upper part having a circular cross-section, a middle part having an oval cross-section, and a lower part having an oval cross-section that becomes narrower as it goes downward. In this case, the upper and middle parts, and the middle and lower parts, may be naturally connected.

[0073] In one embodiment, the wiper (200) may include a scraper (221) for wiping off at least a portion of the contents on the application tool (140). At this time, at least one area of ​​the scraper (221) may have a shape corresponding to at least one area of ​​the application tool (140). The contents may be wiped off in the corresponding areas of the scraper (221) and the application tool (140).

[0074] In addition, the wiper (200) may include an enlarged part (223) for passing the contents applied to at least a portion of the application tool (140). At this time, the enlarged part (223) may be formed to be wider than the width of one area of ​​the scraper (221). For example, it may be formed at both ends of the horizontal direction of the scraper (221) and may be formed to have a diameter wider than the vertical width of the scraper (221). Furthermore, without being limited thereto, a portion of the scraper (221) that is formed to have a wider width than other portions may become the enlarged part (223).

[0075] According to one embodiment, when a user withdraws a cap (100) from a container body (300), the application tool (140) passes through a scraper (221), and at least a portion of the contents on the application tool are wiped away by the scraper (221), and the contents required for application are passed through an extension (223), thereby enabling an appropriate amount of the contents to be withdrawn. The contents wiped away by the scraper (221) are then received in the container body (330).

[0076] In one embodiment, the scraper (221) and the extension (223) may be positioned on the lower surface of the wiper body (220).

[0077] According to one embodiment, the wiper (200) may further include a side hole (225) for discharging contents accumulated inside. Referring to FIG. 7, a side hole (225) is formed on a side of the wiper (200). According to one embodiment, when a user inserts the cap (100) into the container body (300), contents wiped by the scraper (221) may accumulate inside the wiper (200). By including the side hole (225), the wiper (200) can discharge contents unnecessarily accumulated inside into the container body (300).

[0078] In one embodiment, the container body (300) may provide a receiving space for accommodating contents. The container body (300) may have at least one of a groove formed on an outer surface for accommodating at least a portion of the rim portion (210) or a protrusion inserted into at least a portion of the rim portion (210). The groove or protrusion of the container body (300) may be formed on the neck portion (310) of the container body (300).

[0079] The method of joining the wiper (200) and the container body (300) is not limited to joining by grooves / protrusions, and various joining methods that enable rotation can be used. For example, a joining method using a catch may be used.

[0080] Furthermore, a configuration may be further included to facilitate rotation when the wiper (200) and the container body (300) are coupled. For example, a bearing may be included at the coupling portion of the wiper (200) and the container body (300), or a lubricant may be applied. This configuration to facilitate rotation may be a separate configuration, or may be formed or applied to the wiper (200) and / or the container body (300).

[0081] The contents contained in the container body (300) can be applied to the application tool (140) and used by the user. Here, the contents are liquid or gel-like fluids, and may be cosmetics, medicines, or over-the-counter drugs such as toothpaste, but are not limited thereto. The contents stored in the container body (300) are not limited in type or composition, and may include contents of various types and formulations.

[0082] In one embodiment, the container body (300) may be formed of a glass material. If the container body (300) is formed of a glass material, it can convey a luxurious aesthetic, and if it is made of a transparent glass material, it can provide a visual difference as the formulation or color of the contents is visible.

[0083] The joint structure of the cap (100) and the container body (300) according to one embodiment of the present invention is as follows.

[0084] First, the inner cap (120) is fitted into the inside of the outer cap (110), a gasket (130) is positioned at the bottom of the inner cap (120), and a joining part (143) is fitted into the joining groove (1231) of the inner cap (120) through the joining hole (131) of the gasket (130), so that the application tool (140) is positioned at the bottom of the gasket (130) to form a cap (100).

[0085] When the connecting part (143) is fitted into the connecting groove (1231) of the inner cap (120), the connecting projection groove (1233) and the connecting projection (145) are also connected, so that the inner cap (120) and the application tool (140) are more strongly connected.

[0086] The wiper (200) is rotatably connected to a corresponding projection / groove of the container body (300) by a groove / protrusion of the wiper (200).

[0087] The container body (300) and cap (100) combined with the wiper (200) are combined through screw threads (1217) and screw threads (311).

[0088]

[0089] FIG. 8 is an operation flow chart of a contents container according to one embodiment of the invention, and the operation method according to one embodiment is briefly described below.

[0090] First, as shown in Fig. 8 (a), the wiper (200) is formed to be rotatable 360 ​​degrees inside the container body (300), and the cap (100) blocks the hole (211) of the wiper (200) to prevent the cosmetic contents from flowing back.

[0091] Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 8 (b) and FIG. 8 (c), when the cap (100) is separated from the container body (300) by the release of the screw thread (1217) and the screw thread (311), the cap (100) comes out and the application tool (140) is pulled out together. At this time, an appropriate amount of the contents is applied to the application tool (140) through the wiper (200).
