BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a two-in-one apparatus comprising a cosmetic brush and sponge and more particularly, to a two-in-one apparatus which is capable of providing both of a brush and a sponge for cosmetics.

Description of the Related Art

A brush for cosmetic make-up is used for blushing in base make-up or overall make-up. For example, the brush is used to include a color in a cheek or around eyes and enables representations such as gradations.

A sponge for make-up can be used in both of dry and wet conditions. In particular, the sponge can be conveniently used to cleanly apply liquid-typed make-up base or a foundation. The sponge is a tool essential for clean skin representation since it can apply the make-up base or the foundation more meticulously than a case where lingers are used to do so.

In recent years, cosmetic tool such as sponges have been used by not only make-up specialists but also public users and are in increasing demand. In actuality, even in make-up base, in addition to a power puff, a brush for blushing and a sponge for application of make-up base are generally used depending on their functions.

Nevertheless, in the prior art, a brush and a sponge have to be prepared separately, which causes an inconvenience to users, and, in actuality, are not easy to be carried by the users. In addition, if the sponge remains wet after using it, it is not easy to keep the sponge separately irons other cosmetics or cosmetic tools.

With development of various kinds of cosmetics with advance of general make-up techniques, many more users have used both, of the brush and the sponge as tools for cosmetics. However, there has been conventionally no cosmetic tool to support the two functions.

As conventional techniques, a portable brush for make-up is disclosed in KR Patent Application No. 1999-018229 (titled as “Brush for Make-up”), KR Utility Model Registration Application No. 1987-008064 (titled as “Cheek Rouge Brush”), KR Utility Model Registration Application No. 1992-024360 (titled as “Brush for Make-up”), KR Utility Model Registration Application No. 1994-002014 (titled as “Portable Brush for Make-up”) and KR Utility Model Registration Application No. 1991-00029 (titled as “Portable Brush for Make-up”). However, these techniques are only limited to a brush for blushing.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention has been made to overcome the above problems and it is an object of the present invention to provide a two-in-one apparatus which is capable of providing both of a brush and a sponge for cosmetics.

To achieve the above object, according to an aspect of the invention, there is provided a two-in-one apparatus having a brush and a sponge for cosmetics according to the present invention includes a cosmetic brush container and a cosmetic sponge container which are symmetrical to each other and are rotatably attached in contact.

The cosmetic brush container has a cylindrical shape and is formed with a contact surface in contact with the cosmetic sponge container. A brush is inserted in the upper side of the cosmetic brush container. A cover member to cover the bottom of the cosmetic brush container and a cutout portion formed in the lower part of the contact surface is inserted in the lower side of the cosmetic brush container. A cylindrical projection projecting toward the cosmetic sponge container is formed in the upper part of the cutout portion of the contact surface.

The cosmetic sponge container has a cylindrical shape and is formed with a contact surface in contact with the cosmetic brush container. A sponge is inserted in the upper side of the cosmetic sponge container. A cover member to cover the bottom of the cosmetic sponge container and a cutout portion formed in the lower part of the contact surface is inserted in the lower side of the cosmetic sponge container. A round portion to be inserted and mounted in the periphery of the cylindrical projection of the cosmetic brush container is formed in the upper part of the cutout portion of the contact surface.

According to the present invention, a two-in-one apparatus having a brush and a sponge for cosmetics includes a cosmetic brush container and a cosmetic sponge container which are symmetrical to each other and are rotatably attached in contact. This allows a user to optionally use the brush and the sponge with convenience.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

According to an aspect of the invention, there is provided a two-in-one apparatus having a brush and a sponge for cosmetics according to the present invention includes a cosmetic brush container and a cosmetic sponge container which are symmetrical to each other and are rotatably attached in contact.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following detailed description of the present invention, concrete description on related functions or constructions will be omitted if it is deeded that the functions and/or constructions may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention.

Embodiment

FIG. 1is an exploded perspective view showing a two-in-one apparatus having a brush and a sponge for cosmetics, according to the present invention,FIG. 2is an external appearance perspective view showing the two-in-one apparatus having the brush and the sponge for cosmetics, according to the present invention, andFIG. 3is an external appearance perspective view showing a state the two-in-one apparatus having the brush and the sponge for cosmetics, according to the present invention.

As shown inFIGS. 1 to 3, a two-in-one apparatus having a brush and a sponge for cosmetics according to the present invention includes a cosmetic brush container10and a cosmetic sponge container20which are symmetrical to each other and are rotatably attached in contact.

The cosmetic brush container10has a cylindrical shape and is formed with a contact surface12in contact with the cosmetic sponge container20. A brush11is inserted in the upper side of the cosmetic brush container10. A cover member14to cover the bottom of the cosmetic brush container10and a cutout portion13formed in the lower part of the contact surface12is inserted in the lower side of the cosmetic brush container10. A cylindrical projection15projecting toward the cosmetic sponge container20is formed in the upper part of the cutout portion13of the contact surface12.

The cosmetic sponge container20has a cylindrical shape and is formed with a contact surface22in contact with the cosmetic brush container10. A sponge21is inserted in the upper side of the cosmetic sponge container20. A cover member24to cover the bottom of the cosmetic sponge container20and a cutout portion23formed in the lower part of the contact surface22is inserted in the lower side of the cosmetic sponge container20. A round portion25to be inserted and mounted in the periphery of the cylindrical projection15of the cosmetic brush container10is formed in the upper part of the cutout portion23of the contact surface22.

Next, an assembling procedure of the above-configured two-in-one apparatus having the brush and the sponge for cosmetics will be described. After making the cosmetic brush container10and the cosmetic sponge container20facing each other, when the cutout portion23of the cosmetic sponge container20is pushed in downward through the upper side of the cosmetic brush container10, the round portion25in the cutout portion23is mounted in the periphery of the cylindrical projection15.

In this state, the cover members14and24are fitted and assembled from below and the brush11and the sponge21are inserted in the upper sides of the containers10and20, respectively, thereby completing the assembly (seeFIG. 2).

Then, for use of the two-in-one apparatus, the cosmetic sponge container20is rotated by 180 degrees around the cylindrical projection15(seeFIG. 3).

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The exemplary embodiments are provided for the purpose of illustrating the invention, not in a limitative sense. Thus, it is intended that the present invention covers the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
