BACKGROUND 
     The present invention relates to a pump-type ampoule container capable of being refilled, and in particular to a pump-type ampoule container capable of being refilled, wherein a container is constituted in a dual container structure that comprises an inner container and an outer container. A discharge part is fixed to top of the outer container, and the inner container that contains contents can be replaced. When the contents are all used, only the inner container is removed and replaced while leaving the discharge part, so a user can save costs. 
     An ampoule container is generally configured to store contents that need to be sealed in a sterilized state. In recent years, as people tend to have a big attention in beauty, a program-like cosmetic is developed and sells, with which a user can be cared for four or eight weeks to improve wrinkles and whitening effects. The use of an ampoule container increases because it needs to store an expensive cosmetic made from a concentrated component such as essence, etc. 
     Compared with other cosmetics, the cosmetic contained in the above mentioned ampoule container has a shorter distribution period after it is once opened. Since the components of the contents are different in each makeup stage, the above mentioned cosmetic is made in a set of small packages each containing a small amount of cosmetic. For the above mentioned cosmetic, a discharge part equipped with an applicator such as ball, silicon tip, brush, etc. is provided on top of a container body so as to help a user&#39;s face absorb in an effective way because the cosmetic is expensive. 
     In the conventional ampoule container, a discharge part equipped with an applicator to discharge contents is provided on top of each ampoule container that is provided in multiple numbers and has a small volume. When it needs to discard an ampoule container after the cosmetic is all used, the discharge part provided on top of each ampoule container is discharged together, so a user should pay more costs for the products. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     Accordingly, the present invention is made so as to improve the above mentioned problems. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pump-type ampoule container capable of being refilled, wherein a container is constituted in a dual container structure that comprises an inner container and an outer container. A discharge part is fixed to top of the outer container, and the inner container that contains contents can be replaced. When the contents are all used, only the inner container is removed and replaced while leaving the discharge part, so a user can save costs. 
     To achieve the above object, there is a pump-type ampoule container capable of being refilled, comprising an inner container that contains contents; a pumping member that is secured to top of the inner container and discharges the contents contained in the inner container on the basis of a pumping operation; an outer container that is configured to accommodate the inner container and the pumping member and includes an open bottom for the inner container and the pumping member to be inserted or to be disengaged via the open bottom, wherein both lower sides of the outer container are partly cut-away for a user to grasp the inner container for its exchange; a discharge part that is secured to top of the outer container and is in communication with the pumping member and is configured to discharge outside the contents on the basis of a pumping operation of the pumping member as the inner container ascends or descends; and an over cap that is secured covering the discharge part from top of the outer container. 
     In addition, a communication part is provided in an inner side of top of the outer container and extends from an inner circumferential surface of the outer container to its center portion and includes a space through which contents move, the communication part allowing the pumping member and the discharge part to communicate as the top of the pumping member and the bottom of the discharge part are engaged.

FIG. 4  is a view illustrating an operation state of a pump-type ampoule container capable of being refilled according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. 
     As shown in  FIGS. 1 to 4 , the pump-type ampoule container capable of being refilled according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises an inner container  100 , a pumping member  200 , an outer container  300 , a discharge part  400 , and an over cap  500 . 
     The inner container  100  is constituted to contain contents, whose top is open to discharge contents. A pumping member  200  is secured to the opened top. 
     In the present invention, the inner container  100  is inserted in the outer container  300  and can be separated from the same, and the inner container  100  is exchanged with an inner container  100 ′ when the contents contained in the inner container  100  is all used. 
     It is preferred that the inner container  100  includes a shoulder  110  covering a lower, outer circumferential surface of the inner container  100  for the inner container  100  to be easily removed for its exchange. 
     As shown in  FIG. 4 , the inner container  100  ascends or descends in the outer container  300  on the basis of a user&#39;s pressing for thereby enabling the pump member  200  to perform a pumping operation, thus discharging the contained contents to the outside. 
     The pumping member  200  is secured to top of the inner container  100  and discharge the contents contained in the inner container  100  on the basis of pumping operations. In the present invention, the top of the pumping member  200  is secured to a communication part  310  and is thus configured to communicate with the discharge part  400 . 
     The pumping member  200  becomes disengaged from the communication part  310  when the inner container  100  separates from the inner container  300 . When the inner container  100  is inserted in the outer container  300 , the pumping member  200  is secured to the communication part  310  for thereby discharging contents via the discharge part  400 . 
     The pumping member  200  are known to an ordinary person skilled in the art, so the detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted. 
     The outer container  300  accommodates the inner container  100  and the pumping member  200 , a lower portion of which outer container is open for the inner container  100  and the pumping member  20  to be inserted in the outer container  300  and to be separated from. Both sides of the lower portion of the outer container  300  are cut-away for the user to easily grasp the inner container  100  when it is exchanged. 
     Since both sides of the lower portion of the outer container  300  are cut-away, it is easy to discharge and exchange the inner container  100 . When the user presses the bottom of the inner container  100  with fingers, and the inner container  100  ascends, there will be no interference with the outer container  300 , thus obtaining smooth pumping operations. 
     In the present invention, a communication part  310  is provided at the inner side of the top of the outer container  300  and extends from an inner circumferential surface of the outer container  300  to its center and define a space for the contents to move through the space. The top of the pumping member  200  is secured to the bottom of the communication part  310 , and the bottom of the discharge part  400  is secured to top of the communication part  310  for thereby allowing the pumping member  200  and the discharge part  400  to communicate with each other, so the contents can be discharged outside via the discharge part  400  in the course of the pumping operations of the pumping member  200 . 
     A fixing shoulder  311  is formed in an inner circumferential surface of the communication part  310  so as to prevent the discharge part  400  from being disengaged in the upward direction. 
     The discharge part  400  is secured to top of the outer container  300  and communicates with the pumping member  200  via the communication part  310 . The contents can be discharged outside on the basis of the pumping operations of the pumping member  200  as the inner container  100  ascends or descends. The discharge part  400  comprises an applicator  410 , a support part  420  and an engaging part  430 . 
     With the applicator  410 , a user applies contents on his own skin. In the present invention, a ball type applicator  410  is adapted. All kinds of applying means such as a silicon tip type, a brush type, etc. may be adapted. 
     The support part  420  is configured to supportably accommodate the applicator  410 . In the inner portion of the support part  420  is disposed a support protrusion  421  that supports the bottom of the applicator  410 . 
     The support part  420  is equipped with the support protrusion  421 , so a space is formed between the inner side of the support part  420  and the applicator  410 . A predetermined amount of contents is filled in the space between the inner side of the support part  420  and the applicator  410  in the course of the pumping operations of the pumping member  200 , and the residual amount of the contents is discharged with the applicator  420 , so it is possible to prevent all the contents from being discharged at a time with the applicator  410 . 
     The engaging part  430  extends in a downward direction of the support part  420  and is engaged to the communication part  310  and comprises a fixing protrusion  431  engaged to the fixing shoulder  311  of the communication part  310  for the same to be fixedly engaged to the communication part  310 . 
     The engaging part  430  is configured in a hollow shape through which the contents move for the contents to be discharged via the discharge part  400  in the course of the pumping operations of the pumping member  200 . 
     In the present invention, there is further included an over cap  500  that is engaged covering the discharge part  400  from the top of the outer container  300  so as to prevent the applicator  410  from being broken by an external impact.
