BACKGROUND 
       [0001]    The present disclosure relates to a container for storing heterogeneous contents, and more specifically a container for storing heterogeneous contents comprising one container body for receiving first and second storage containers in which heterogeneous contents are stored respectively, wherein, as an ascending/descending member slides vertically, one of the first and second storage containers is selectively withdrawn to an upper part or a lower part of the container body and the contents in a withdrawn storage container can be used, therefore making it easy to carry the container and providing improved user convenience. 
         [0002]    Generally, eye or lip makeup is achieved using cosmetics such as a lip-gloss, a concealer, or a highlighter, etc. For putting a makeup for lips, it is important that lips should look beautiful when kept with moisture, a lip-gloss is applied for keeping lips moist and beautiful. 
         [0003]    Lip-glosses used as in the above are manufactured in shape of a tube, a lipstick, or a type of lip-glosses that can be applied by smearing contents stored in the body with a cosmetics application brush tip attached at a cover. 
         [0004]    The most conventional lip-gloss among those in the above is the one which can be used by smearing contents stored in the body with a cosmetics application brush tip attached at a cover. This “lip-gloss container” is disclosed in  FIG. 1  of the registered utility model no. 20-0459830 (hereafter, called the registered utility model). 
         [0005]    The registered utility model in the above is characterized to comprise a body ( 100 ) which stores cosmetics and includes an opening ( 112 ) such that a cover ( 120 ) can be detachably coupled therein, and the cover ( 120 ) which is coupled with a screw combination to the opening ( 112 ) of the body ( 100 ) and includes a brush ( 124 ) at the end of the body for applying cosmetics and an application tip ( 122 ), such as a sponge, formed at the end of the brush ( 124 ). 
         [0006]    The conventional lip-glosses having a structure as in the above are configured in a way that a cover coupled with a screw combination to the body is separated from an opening of the body, and cosmetics are smeared to an application tip formed at a lower end of the cover and applied to lips, and then the brush is inserted back to the body for being stored. To use two different types of lip-glosses, such as different colors, two different lip-glosses should be purchased and respectively carried with, thereby causing a problem of user inconvenience.

         [0043]    The movement button  510  is protrusively formed from a front side of the ascending/descending member  500  such that a user can manipulate ascending/descending movement, and exposed to the outside through the incision part  310 . Therefore, the first storage container  100  or the second storage container  200  can be withdrawn from the container body  300  according to a user&#39;s manipulation of ascending/descending, and thereby it is possible to selectively use either the first contents or the second contents respectively stored in the first and the second storage container  100 ,  200 . 
         [0044]    The guide protrusion  520 , formed protrusively from a backside portion of the ascending/descending member  500  and inserted to the guide groove  320 , is configured to move along the guide groove  320  according to an ascending/descending manipulation of the movement button  510 , wherein the guide protrusion  520 , supported by a supporting protrusion  321  disposed at the central portion of the guide groove  320  in a normal state, prevents a free fall of the ascending/descending member  500  in a state that a user does not manipulate, and is secured to a securing groove  322  in a state that the ascending/descending member  500  completes ascending or descending, thereby preventing the ascending/descending member  500  from moving by the pressure therein when applying a first and a second contents onto a skin by means of a first and a second application tips  620 ,  630 . 
         [0045]    The application member  600 , inserted into the first storage container  100  and the second storage container  200  and applying the first and second contents onto skin, comprises a support  610  which penetrates a hollow formed at a fixing part  430  of the cap  400  and is inserted into the first storage container  100  and the second storage container  200 , and a first and a second application tips  620 ,  630  which are respectively coupled to both ends of the support  610  and absorb the first and the second contents, further comprising a fixing groove  611  which is coupled to the fixing protrusion  431  at an outer circumferential surface of the support  610  so as to be fixed to the fixing part  430 . 
         [0046]    The application member  600 , fixed to the fixing part  430 , causes a first application tip  620  to be withdrawn from a first storage container  100  for using the first contents when the first storage container  100  is separated from the cap, and causes a second application tip  630  to be withdrawn from the second storage container  200  for using the second contents when the second storage container  200  is separated from the cap  400 . 
         [0047]    Hereafter, a method of using a container for storing heterogeneous contents according to an exemplary embodiment will be described with reference to  FIGS. 4 and 6 . 
         [0048]    Referring to  FIGS. 4 and 6 , firstly, normally when gripping a movement button  510  and moving a guide protrusion  520  to a downward direction in a state that the guide protrusion  520  is secured at a supporting protrusion  321 , the guide protrusion  520  of the ascending/descending member  500  moves along a guide groove  320  and thereby the ascending/descending member  500  descends. Due to this, a cap coupled to an inner side of the ascending/descending member  500  and a first and a second storage containers  100 ,  200  coupled to an upper and lower portions of the cap  400  descend together, thereby causing the first storage container  100  to be withdrawn to a lower portion of the container body  300 . 
         [0049]    As in the above, when the first storage container  100  is withdrawn to a lower portion of the container body  300 , a user rotates the first storage container  100  and releases a screw-combination of the first storage container  100  and a first coupling part  410  of the cap  400 , and then withdraws a first application tip  620  from the first storage container  100  for lip makeup in a state of gripping the container body  300 . 
         [0050]    As in the above, when a user applies lip makeup through the first application tip  620 , the guide protrusion  520  is secured at a securing groove  322  and thereby prevents the ascending/descending member  500  from moving by the pressure caused when the first application tip  620  touches lips. 
         [0051]    Meanwhile, to use the second contents stored in a second storage container  200 , a user places the second storage container  200  in an upright position by turning the container body  300  down, and then can use the second contents by through the procedure described in the above. 
         [0052]    The presently described embodiments are configured to accommodate the first storage container  100  and the second storage container  200  for being withdrawn from the container body  300  according to a manipulation of ascending/descending of the movement button  510 , such that it is possible for a user to use the first contents or the second contents depending on her own choice. 
         [0053]    As described above, optimal embodiments have been disclosed in the drawings and the specification. Although specific terms have been used herein, these are only intended to describe the presently described embodiments and are not intended to limit the meanings of the terms or to restrict the scope of the accompanying claims.
