Description:
FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY 
       [0001]    The present disclosure relates to a cosmetic container having an absorption member impregnated with liquid contents, more specifically the cosmetic container having an absorption member impregnated with liquid contents wherein the absorption member, made of a porous material and impregnated with liquid contents, is compressed when a piston ascends with the rotation of a rotation body, whereby the impregnated liquid contents are withdrawn to an upper portion thereof for being used, thereby providing the same usability as solid lip stick products which are familiar to users and improving spreading properties. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0002]    Generally, cosmetic products such as lipsticks is configured to open a cap, rotate a rotation body provided at a lower portion of a container thereof, and raise/lower a solid lipstick to the outside of the container. For example, when a user wants to use a lipstick, firstly the user opens a cap of a container, rotates a rotation body, and raises the lipstick to the outside to be protruded. After using the lipstick, the user lowers the lipstick, and makes the lipstick received in the container. 
         [0003]    “A lipstick container” with a configuration as the above is disclosed in FIG. 1 of the registered utility model no. 20-0241614 (hereafter called as the registered utility model). 
         [0004]    The registered utility model is characterized in that a lipstick ( 2 ) is fitted into a lipstick holder ( 3 ), and the lipstick holder ( 3 ) and a rotation tube ( 5 ) are coupled as a fixing protrusion ( 4 ) of the lipstick holder ( 3 ) is being fitted into a helical groove ( 6 ) formed at an inner portion of the rotation tube ( 5 ). A guide tube ( 7 ) is inserted between the lipstick holder ( 3 ) and the rotation tube ( 5 ), and coupled to the rotation tube ( 5 ) by an annulus protrusion ( 5 ). Meanwhile, the fixing protrusion ( 4 ) of the lipstick holder ( 3 ) is disposed inside a guide groove ( 8 ) of the guide tube ( 7 ) and, at the same time, at the helical groove ( 6 ). 
         [0005]    The registered utility model is configured in a way that the fixing protrusion ( 4 ) hung between the helical groove ( 6 ) and the guide groove ( 8 ) ascends when a user holds the guide tube ( 7 ) with a hand and rotates the rotation tube ( 5 ), and thereby the lipstick ( 2 ) fitted in the lipstick holder ( 3 ) ascends along for applying lip make up by means of the lipstick ( 2 ); however, this type of lipsticks composed of a solid lipstick as in the above has a problem in that ingredients of the lipstick are likely to be spoiled by being contacted with air. 
         [0006]    Due to this, recently, there have been developed a variety of lipstick containers which are possible to minimize decomposition of contents thereof by using liquid lipstick with the lipstick smeared on a brush like a manicure or using the liquid lipstick discharged by squeezing the liquid lipstick stored in the container with a piston.

FIG. 3  is an assembled cross-sectional view illustrating a configuration of a cosmetic container having an absorption member impregnated with liquid contents according to an exemplary embodiment. 
         [0021]    Referring to  FIGS. 1 to 3 , a cosmetic container having an absorption member impregnated with liquid contents according to an exemplary embodiment includes an outer container  100 , a rotation body  200 , an inner container  300 , a piston rod  400 , a piston  500 , an absorption member  600 , and an over cap  700 . 
         [0022]    The outer container  100 , receiving an inner container  300 , has a cylindrical shape with a predetermined length such that the inner container  300  can ascend/descend at an interior thereof, further having a coupling protrusion  110  formed at an outer lower portion such that the rotation body  200  can be rotatably coupled therein. 
         [0023]    In the present embodiments, it is characterized in that at an upper portion of the outer container  100  is provided a limiting protrusion  120  which limits the ascent of the inner container  300 , wherein the limiting protrusion  120  supports an upper end of the inner container  300  when the inner container  300  ascends by rotation of the rotation body  200 , such that it is possible for the piston  500  to press the absorption member  600  as ascending along an inner wall of the inner container  300  when the rotation body continues rotating. 
         [0024]    Meanwhile, at an upper portion of the outer container  100  is provided a decoration part  900  which has a transparent window  910  for discerning from the outside the color of liquid contents impregnated in the absorption member  600  or the ascent/descent of the piston  500 . At this time, it is preferable that the outer container  100  should be made of a transparent material. 
         [0025]    The rotation member  200  is rotatably coupled, encasing a lower portion of the outer container  100 , and is characterized to be provided with an ascending/descending guide member  210 , at an inner side of the rotation body  200 , which extends upwards from a lower end thereof. 
         [0026]    The ascending/descending guide member  210  is provided with a screw thread at an inner circumferential surface thereof and is screw-coupled with the piston rod  400 , which will make it possible for the piston rod  400  to ascend/descend according to rotation directions of the rotation body  200 . 
         [0027]    The inner container  300 , ascending/descending at an inner side of the outer container  100  according to rotation of the rotation body  200 , moves along together with the ascent/descent of the piston  500  which is formed in a close contact to an inner wall of the inner container; when ascending, the inner container  300  is supported by the limiting protrusion  120  and limited in ascending, and when descending, the inner container  300  is supported by a bottom surface of the rotation body  200  and limited in descending. 
         [0028]    The present embodiments are characterized in that at an inner side of the inner container  300  is provided a fixing part  310  which forms a hollow  311  such that the absorption member  600  can be fitted-coupled and fixed, wherein the fixing part  310  prevents the absorption member  600  from moving to an upper portion thereof when the piston  500  ascends and presses the absorption member  600 . 
         [0029]    The inner container  300  is preferably made of a transparent material such that it is possible to discern from the outside the color of liquid contents impregnated in the absorption member  600  or the ascent/descent of the piston  500 . 
         [0030]    The piston rod  400  is screw-coupled to the ascending/descending guide member  210  and ascends/descends according to rotation of the rotation body  200 , further including a screw-thread at an outer circumferential surface for being capable of screw-coupling with the ascending/descending guide member  210 . 
         [0031]    The piston  500 , coupled to an upper portion of the piston rod  400  and moving along together with the ascent/descent of the piston rod  400 , is configured to ascend/descend in a close contact with an inner wall of the inner container  300 . Due to this, when ascending, the piston  500  pressurizes the absorption member  600  which is disposed at an upper portion thereof, such that liquid contents impregnated in the absorption member  600  can move to an upper portion of the absorption member  600 . 
         [0032]    Furthermore, the piston  500  is closely contacted to an inner wall of the inner container  300 , such that, when the piston  500  pressurizes the absorption member  600 , the liquid contents impregnated in the absorption member  600  is prevented from moving to a lower portion along an inner wall of the inner container  300 . 
         [0033]    The absorption member  600  is fitted-coupled with a fixing part  310  inside of the inner container  300 . The absorption member  600  is characterized to be composed of a porous material impregnated with liquid contents. 
         [0034]    The absorption member  600  is made of an elastic material which gets contracted by compression generated by the ascent of the piston  500  and then is released when the piston  500  descends. It is preferred that an upper portion of the absorption member  600  should be configured to have a shape which gets narrower towards an upper portion thereof in order that a user can easily apply liquid contents onto her lips. 
         [0035]    The over cap  700 , which is detachably coupled to a decoration part  900  as encasing an upper portion of the outer container  100 , is coupled to a sealing cap  800 , at an upper inner side thereof, which seals an opened upper portion of the outer container  100  so as to prevent liquid contents impregnated in the absorption member  210  from being vaporized. The over cap  700 , in case there is no decoration part  900 , can be detachably coupled to the outer container  100 . 
         [0036]    Hereafter, referring  FIGS. 4A to 6F , a using method of to a cosmetic container having an absorption member impregnated with liquid contents according to an exemplary embodiment will be explained.  FIGS. 4A to 6F  are explanatory drawings illustrating using methods of a cosmetic container having an absorption member impregnated with liquid contents according to an exemplary embodiment. 
         [0037]    Firstly, referring  FIGS. 4A and 4B , when a user pressurizes a decoration part  900  with one hand in a state of detaching the over cap  700  from the decoration part  900  and rotates the rotation body  200  to one side direction with the other hand, there arise an ascent of the piston rod  400  which is screw-coupled with the ascending/descending guide member  210 . When the piston rod  400  ascends, the piston  500  coupled to an upper portion of the piston rod  400  ascends and thereby the inner container  300  ascend along together according to the piston  500  ascending. 
         [0038]    As in the above, when the inner container  300  ascends, an absorption member  600  fixed to a fixing part  310  of the inner container  300  ascends along together; due to this, an upper portion of the absorption member  600  is withdrawn and gets exposed to the outside of the outer container  100 . 
         [0039]    Next, when the rotation body  200  is rotated further in a state that the absorption member  600  is exposed to the outside, as illustrated in  FIG. 5C , the piston  500  ascends along an inner wall of the inner container  300  and pressurizes the absorption member  600 , in a state that an upper portion of the inner container  300  is supported by a limiting protrusion  120  of the outer container  100  and thereby the ascent of the inner container  300  is limited, and thereby moves liquid contents impregnated in the absorption member  600  to the upper portion thereof. Due to this, it is possible to apply liquid contents having moved to the upper portion of the absorption member  600  onto lips. 
         [0040]    Next, as illustrated in  FIG. 5D , when the rotation body  200  is rotated to the other direction, the piston rod  400  screw-coupled to the ascending/descending guide member  210  descends. When the piston rod  400  gets lowered, the piston  500  coupled to an upper portion thereof descends and thereby the inner container  300  descends along together as the piston  500  is descending. 
         [0041]    As in the above, when the inner container  300  descends, the absorption member  600  fixed to the fixing part  310  of the inner container  300  descends along together; due to this, the absorption member  600  is inserted into an interior of the outer container  100 . 
         [0042]    Next, the absorption member  600  rotates the rotation body  200  further in a state the absorption member  600  is inserted into the outer container  100 , as illustrated in  FIG. 6E , the piston  500  descends along the inner wall of the inner container  300  in a state that a lower portion of the inner container  300  is supported by a bottom surface of the outer container  100  and the descent of the inner container  300  is limited; due to this, the pressure that pressurizes the absorption member  600  is released and thereby the absorption member  600  is relieved and restored. 
         [0043]    As in the above, the absorption member  600 , when restored in a state being inserted into the outer container  100 , is coupled with the over cap  700  and seals an opened upper portion of the outer container  100  through a sealing cap  800  provided at an inner side thereof, therefore preventing liquid contents impregnated in the absorption member  600  from being vaporized. 
         [0044]    As previously described, since the absorption member  600  is impregnated with liquid contents, basically it is possible to use liquid contents impregnated in an upper portion of the absorption member  600 . When liquid contents impregnated in the upper portion of the absorption member  600  are lacked, it is possible to withdraw liquid contents to the upper portion of the absorption member  600  through compression of the absorption member  600  by the ascent of the piston  500  and to always apply the contents in a state of moisture, such that it is possible to provide excellent spreading properties, and therefore is possible to be fit for a variety of cosmetic goods such as lipsticks, and concealer, etc.
