Description

Contents container

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

[0002] Traditionally, double containers consisting of an inner container for easy refilling of contents and an outer container for protecting the inner container have been widely used as containers for containing contents such as creams or lotions.

[0003] However, these dual-container designs presented the inconvenience of having to remove the inner container from the outer container each time the inner container was replaced. Specifically, when the inner container was easily separated from the outer container, the bond between the two containers became loose, or when the bond between the inner and outer containers was strengthened, the inner container became difficult to separate.

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a contents container for solving the above problems.

[0005] The technical problems of the present invention are not limited to the technical problems mentioned above, and other technical problems not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below.

[0006] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a contents container is provided. The contents container includes an inner container for accommodating contents; an outer container in which the inner container is accommodated; and a rotating member rotatably coupled to the outer container and configured to elevate the inner container in accordance with the rotation, wherein the inner container can be coupled or decoupled within the contents container in accordance with the rotation of the rotating member and the elevating of the inner container.

[0007] Additionally, when the rotating part rotates in one direction, the inner container can descend, and when the rotating part rotates in the other direction, the inner container can rise.

[0008] Additionally, the rotating portion may include a first rotating coupling portion that is detachably coupled to the inner container; and a second rotating coupling portion that is rotatably coupled to the outer container.

[0009] Additionally, the first rotary joint may include a screw thread, and the second rotary joint may include at least one of at least one fitting groove and at least one fitting projection formed along the circumferential direction.

[0010] Additionally, the rotating member can be fitted into the outer container and screw-connected to the inner container.

[0011] Additionally, at least one guide groove may be formed on the outer surface of the above-mentioned rotating part.

[0012] Additionally, a first outer container coupling portion for coupling a stopper for opening and closing the inner container and a second outer container coupling portion for coupling the rotating portion may be formed on the spout portion of the outer container.

[0013] Additionally, a first rotation prevention portion formed with at least one first protrusion at the bottom of the inner container may be provided to prevent rotation of the inner container.

[0014] In addition, the inner container includes a content portion forming an inner receiving space; and a support portion extending downward from the content portion, and the first rotation prevention portion may be formed on the inner surface of the support portion.

[0015] Additionally, a second rotation prevention unit may be provided at the bottom of the outer container, which is formed with at least one second protrusion corresponding to the first rotation prevention unit to prevent rotation of the inner container.

[0016] In addition, the outer container further includes an outer container portion forming an accommodation space on the inside; and a support portion shielding the lower end of the outer container portion, and the second rotation prevention portion may be formed on the upper side of the support portion.

[0017] Additionally, the first anti-rotation portion may be formed toward the inside, and the second anti-rotation portion may be formed toward the outside.

[0018] Additionally, the outer container may include an outer wall to which the support portion is coupled and an inner wall in contact with the upper surface of the support portion.

[0019] According to the present invention, the inner container can be coupled or decoupled within the outer container by rotating the rotating part.

[0020] In addition, according to the present invention, by moving the inner container up and down within the outer container along the rotation of the rotating part, it is possible to easily determine the change in the state of the inner container, and by changing the direction of movement of the inner container according to the direction of rotation of the rotating part, it is possible to easily manipulate the inner container.

[0021] In addition, according to the present invention, the inner container can be easily used as a refill container simply by rotating the rotating part.

[0022] Additionally, according to the present invention, the inner container can be inserted into the outer container without directionality, and the inner container can be fixedly aligned to the outer container by such insertion and / or rotation of the rotating part.

[0035] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a contents container according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a contents container according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is an exploded cross-sectional view of a contents container according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a contents container according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the contents container (1000) may include an inner container (100); an outer container (200); and a rotating part (300).

[0037] The inner container (100) can form an inner space to accommodate contents. Here, the contents may be liquid, gel, or powder cosmetics. For example, the contents may include lotion, milk lotion, moisturizing lotion, nourishing lotion, skin lotion, skin softener, skin toner, astringent, massage cream, nourishing cream, moisture cream, whitening essence, tone-up cream, UV blocking agent, sunscreen, sun milk, BB cream, base, foundation, CC cream, concealer, blusher, shading, eye cream, primer, ampoule, etc. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and other formulations or types of cosmetics, medical contents, etc. may be applied.

[0038] In an embodiment, the inner container (100) may be a bottle container. However, it is not limited thereto, and may be formed in various shapes such as a tube, jar, or pouch.

[0039] In an embodiment, the inner container (100) may include a content member (110) forming an inner receiving space; and a support member (120) extending downward from the content member (110). While the support member (120) is shown as extending from a side wall of the content member (110), this is exemplary and may extend from the bottom of the content member (110).

[0040] In an embodiment, a content member coupling portion (130) for coupling with a rotational portion (300) may be formed at the top of the inner container (100). Specifically, the content member coupling portion (130) may be coupled with a first rotational portion (310) of the rotational portion (300). Such coupling may be a screw coupling, and thus, the content member coupling portion (130) and the first rotational portion (310) may be formed with corresponding screw threads. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0041] The outer container (200) can form an accommodation space on the inside to accommodate the inner container (100). Specifically, the outer container (200) can include an outer container portion (210) that forms an accommodation space on the inside; a spout portion (220) provided on the upper end of the outer container portion (210); and a support portion (230) that shields the lower end of the outer container portion (210). According to an embodiment, the outer container portion (210), the spout portion (220), and the support portion (230) can be formed integrally, or at least some of them can be formed separately and then joined together. For example, the outer container portion (210) and the spout portion (220) can be formed integrally, and the support portion (230) can be formed separately and then assembled together. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0042] In an embodiment, the inner container (100) can be inserted into the outer container (210) through the spout (220) of the outer container (200), and the spout (220) can be formed with a first outer container coupling portion (240) for coupling a stopper (not shown) for opening and closing the inner container (100) and a second outer container coupling portion (250) for coupling a rotating portion (300).

[0043] In an embodiment, the first outer container coupling portion (240) may be screw-coupled with the stopper, and the second outer container coupling portion (250) may be fit-coupled with the rotating portion (300). For example, the first outer container coupling portion (240) may include screw threads, and the second outer container coupling portion (250) may include at least one of at least one fitting groove and at least one fitting protrusion formed along the circumferential direction.

[0044] In the embodiment, the first outer container coupling portion (240) is formed toward the outside and the second outer container coupling portion (250) is formed toward the inside, but this is exemplary, and depending on the embodiment, the first outer container coupling portion (240) may be formed toward the inside and / or the second outer container coupling portion (250) may be formed toward the outside. If the formation direction of the first outer container coupling portion (240) and / or the second outer container coupling portion (250) is changed, the formation direction of the coupling member of the cap and / or the coupling member of the rotating member (300) (i.e., the second rotating coupling member (320)) may also be changed accordingly.

[0045] In an embodiment, the outer container part (210) may include an outer wall (212) to which the support part (230) is coupled, and an inner wall (214) in contact with the upper surface of the support part (230). That is, the outer container part (210) may have a double-side wall structure. An insertion groove is formed on the inner side of the outer wall (212), and an insertion protrusion is formed on the outer side of the support part (230), so that the support part (230) can be fitted into the outer wall (212). However, the present invention is not limited to this coupling method. When the support part (230) is coupled to the outer wall (212), the inner wall (214) can be in contact with the support part (230), thereby controlling the insertion depth of the support part (230). According to an embodiment, the inner wall (214) may be in contact with the inner container (100) (in particular, the content portion (110) and the support portion (120)) and thus may have a shape corresponding thereto.

[0046] The rotating member (300) is rotatably coupled to the outer container (200) and can raise and lower the inner container (100) according to the rotation. Here, the rotation of the rotating member (300) with respect to the outer container (200) may mean an idle rotation that does not involve raising and lowering. Specifically, when the rotating member (300) rotates in one direction, the inner container (100) may descend, and when the rotating member (300) rotates in another direction, the inner container (100) may rise. By moving the position of the inner container (100) through such raising and lowering, the inner container (100) may be coupled to or decoupled from the content container (1000). For example, when the lowering is completed, the inner container (100) may be seated within the outer container (200) and coupled to the content container (1000), and when the raising is completed, the inner container (100) may be decoupled and separated from the content container (1000).

[0047] In an embodiment, the rotating member (300) may be fitted to the outer container (200) and screw-coupled to the inner container (100). Through the fitting, the rotating member (300) may be rotatably coupled to the outer container (200), and through the screw coupling, the rotating member (300) may elevate the inner container (100). However, the present invention is not limited to this coupling method, and various coupling methods may be applied according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0048] In an embodiment, the rotating portion (300) may include a first rotating coupling portion (310) that is detachably coupled to the inner container (100) inwardly; and a second rotating coupling portion (320) that is formed outside the first rotating coupling portion (310) and is rotatably coupled to the outer container (200). For example, the first rotating coupling portion (310) may include a screw thread, and the second rotating coupling portion (320) may include at least one of at least one groove and at least one protrusion formed along the circumferential direction.

[0049] In FIGS. 1 to 4, the first rotational joint (310) is illustrated as being formed toward the inside, but may be formed toward the outside depending on the embodiment. In FIGS. 1 to 4, the second rotational joint (320) is illustrated as being formed toward the outside, but may be formed toward the inside depending on the embodiment.

[0050] In an embodiment, at least one guide groove (330) may be formed on the outer surface of the rotating part (300). The guide groove (330) may indicate the degree of rotation of the rotating part (300) and / or prevent slipping when the user holds it.

[0051] The inner container (100) accommodated within the outer container (200) can rotate synchronously with respect to the outer container (200). That is, the inner container (100) does not rotate relative to the outer container (200), and therefore, when the rotating part (300) rotates while the outer container (200) is fixed, the outer container (200) can prevent the inner container (100) from rotating together with the rotating part (300). Through this, the rotation of the rotating part (300) can be achieved by the elevation of the inner container (100).

[0052] In an embodiment, a first rotation prevention portion (140) may be formed at the bottom of the inner container (100) to prevent rotation of the inner container (100), and correspondingly, a second rotation prevention portion (260) may be formed at the bottom of the outer container (200). The first rotation prevention portion (140) and the second rotation prevention portion (260) may be in contact with each other to prevent relative rotation between the inner container (100) and the outer container (200).

[0053] For example, the first rotation prevention portion (140) may include at least one first protrusion formed in the longitudinal direction of the content container (1000). A first groove may be formed between the first protrusions. In addition, for example, the second rotation prevention portion (260) may include at least one second protrusion formed in the longitudinal direction of the content container (1000). A second groove may be formed between the second protrusions. The first protrusion of the first rotation prevention portion (140) may be inserted between the second grooves, and the first protrusion and the second protrusion may support each other, thereby preventing rotation between the inner container (100) and the outer container (200).

[0054] In an embodiment, the first anti-rotation portion (140) may be formed on the inner surface of the support portion (120). According to an embodiment, a second anti-rotation portion (260) may be formed upward from the support portion (230) toward the first anti-rotation portion (140).

[0055] In an embodiment, the first anti-rotation portion (140) may be formed toward the inside, and the second anti-rotation portion (260) may be formed toward the outside. In FIGS. 1 to 4, the first anti-rotation portion (140) is illustrated as being formed toward the inside, but may be formed toward the outside according to an embodiment. In FIGS. 1 to 4, the second anti-rotation portion (260) is illustrated as being formed toward the outside, but may be formed toward the inside according to an embodiment.

[0056] In an embodiment, the side walls of the content member (110) and the support member (120) may be formed in a circular shape. In particular, the side walls of the support member (120) may be formed in a circular shape. The circular shape may mean that the content member (110) and / or the support member (120) do not have a predetermined directionality in the horizontal direction. Correspondingly, in the outer container (200), the area (e.g., the spout member (220) and the inner wall (214)) that comes into contact with the content member (110) and / or the support member (120) may have a shape (i.e., circular) corresponding to the shape of the content member (110) and / or the support member (120). Therefore, when inserting the inner container (100) into the outer container (200), the need to insert the inner container (100) in a special direction with respect to the outer container (200) can be eliminated.

[0057] Although not shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the contents container (1000) may further include a stopper. The stopper may be detachably coupled to the outer container (200) to open and close the inner container.

[0058] The contents container (1000) illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4 is exemplary, and various configurations may be applied depending on the embodiment to which the present invention is applied.

[0059]

[0060] FIG. 5 is a perspective view and an exploded view of an internal container set (2000) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] The internal container (100') of Fig. 5 is described in the same manner as the internal container (100) of Figs. 1 to 4, and any duplicate description will be omitted below.

[0062] Referring to FIG. 5, the inner container set (2000) may include an inner container (100') and an inner stopper (400). After the user has used up all the contents of the content container (1000), the user may detach and open the inner stopper (400) from the inner container set (2000) to the inner container (100'), and then replace it with the inner container (100) of the content container (1000).

[0063] In an embodiment, the inner container set (2000) may be composed of multiple sets, each of which may contain the same or different contents.

[0064] The internal container set (2000) illustrated in FIG. 5 is exemplary, and various configurations may be applied depending on the embodiment to which the present invention is applied.

[0065]

[0066] FIG. 6 is a drawing for explaining an exemplary operation of a contents container (1000) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0067] First, the inner container (100) can be inserted into the outer container (200). At this time, since the outer surface of the inner container (100) and the inner surface of the outer container (200) are formed in a circular shape, the inner container (100) can be easily inserted into the outer container (200) without any special directionality. The inner container (100) can be inserted into the outer container (200), and the insertion can be performed until the lower portion of the first protrusion is inserted into the second groove.

[0068] Afterwards, the rotating part (300) can rotate in one direction with respect to the outer container (200). The rotation causes the inner container (100) to descend. Specifically, in a state where the outer container (200) and the inner container (100) are rotated in synchronization by the first rotation prevention part (140) and the second rotation prevention part (260), the inner container (100) descends along the screw threads of the rotating part (300) and the inner container (100) as the rotating part (300) rotates relative to each other. When the descent is completed, the rotating part (300) no longer rotates, and the inner container (100) can be firmly accommodated in the outer container (200).

[0069] When the contents contained in the inner container (100) are all exhausted, the rotation part (300) rotates in the opposite direction, and the inner container (100) rises, allowing the bond to be released.

[0070] The contents container (1000) illustrated in FIG. 6 is exemplary, and various configurations may be applied depending on the embodiment to which the present invention is applied.

[0071]

[0072] As described above, the best practice embodiments have been disclosed in the drawings and specifications. While specific terminology has been used herein, it is solely for the purpose of describing the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention as defined in the claims. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent embodiments are possible. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
