Brush having powder tube and slidable brush guide

A cosmetic brush having a powder tube, the powder tube being made of an elastic material, for accommodating powder, and the brush being installed at the upper portion of the powder tube, for uniformly applying powder sprayed from the powder tube to the face directly. The brush is incorporated in a housing comprised of an upper case and a lower case, and the lower case includes a lower cap which allows the powder tube to be separated for replacement. A brush guide is vertically movably installed inside the upper and lower cases. A pressing device for pressing the powder tube is provided in the lower case to supply powder.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
 1. Field of the Invention
 the present invention relates to a cosmetic brush having a powder tube, and
 more particularly, to a cosmetic brush having a powder tube, in which
 powder and a brush necessary for make-up are incorporated to be
 simultaneously used for make-up, without a need of separately applying the
 powder and scrubbing the face.
 2. Description of the Related Art
 In conventional cosmetic products there have been separately provided a
 container for storing powder and sponge for applying powder to the user's
 face and a brush for uniformly distributing the powder on the face, and
 they are sequentially used when performing make-up. Also, several cosmetic
 products must be separately purchased for performing make-up in a desired
 manner.
 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
 to solve the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to
 provide a cosmetic brush having a powder tube, configured to allow make-up
 using a brush Simultaneously with spraying powder, Such that the brush and
 a replaceable powder tube disposed in the lower portion of a brush
 incorporated housing are combined with a nozzle-type powder lid having
 spray orifices formed therein.
 To accomplish the above object of the present invention, there is provided
 a cosmetic brush having a powder tube, including an elastic powder tube
 for accommodating powder, and a brush installed in the upper portion of
 the powder tube. for uniformly distributing the powder sprayed from the
 powder tube to the user's face.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
 A cosmetic brush having a powder tube will now be described in detail.
 FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cosmetic brush having a powder tube
 according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view of FIG. 1, and
 FIG. 3 is a side view of FIG. 1. In FIG. 1, the cosmetic brush having a
 powder tube is largely comprised of an upper case ( 11 of FIG. 7), a lower
 case 15 and a lower cap 19. The upper case 11 and the lower case 15 are
 fittingly inserted into upper and lower ends of a locking part 13
 protruding on the outer surface of a tube-like brush guide (45 of FIG. 8).
 As shown in FIG. 6, in the lower case 15, a powder tube 61 inserted into
 the lower case 15 and a powder lid 63 having a female screw 67 threaded
 with a male screw (65 of FIG. 9) of the powder tube 61, are connected in a
 state in which they are practically in contact with the inner Surface of
 the tube-like brush guide 45. The lower case 15 and the lower cap 19 are
 connected by a screw. The powder tube 61 is inserted through the bottom of
 the present apparatus to be replaced by means of the detachable lower cap
 19. A brush 41 having densely distributed bristles is fixed on the top
 surface of the powder lid 63. A spray orifice 69 is formed on the upper
 inner surface of the powder lid 63, like a nozzle for easily spraying the
 powder. In the above-described embodiment, the powder tube 61 and the
 powder lid 63, and the lower case 15 and the lower cap 19, are connected
 by a screw. However, any method that facilitates connection can be used.
 FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating the case in which an upper case
 11 is opened for use of a cosmetic brush having a powder tube, and FIG. 5
 is a perspective view illustrating, the case in which a brush guide 45 is
 lifted upward for orderly arranging a brush 41 which is messed up after
 the cosmetic brush having a powder tube is used. The brush guide 45 in
 which the powder tube 61 and the powder lid 63 are connected, slidably
 escapes upward before the upper case 11 is closed after the use of the
 cosmetic brush having a powder tube according to the present invention is
 completed, so that the brush 41 which is messed up due to use is restored
 into the original state. The brush guide 45 having, escaped upward is
 locked with a locking portion (not shown) formed on the powder lid 63, so
 that it does not protrude outward. A concave portion (71 of FIG. 7) of the
 upper case 11 is fitted into a convex portion (81 of FIG. 8) of the brush
 guide 45. The lower end of the upper case 11 is locked with the upper end
 of the locking, portion 13 of the brush guide 45 and simultaneously moves
 downwards thereby brine the lower end of the locking portion 13 of the
 brush guide 45 into contact with the top surface of the lower case 15,
 thereby forming a cosmetic brush having a powder tube.
 As shown in FIG. 6, openings 83 (FIG. 8) are formed on the brush guide 45
 so that when the guide is lowered into the lower case 15 they are opposite
 pressing buttons 17 fitted into holes in a side wall of the lower case.
 The buttons can then be presssed during use so that the powder is from the
 powder tube 61 made of an elastic material through the spray orifice 69 of
 the powder lid 63 without interference between the brush guide 45 and the
 pressing buttons.
 A plate spring (not shown) and a silicon packing 62 may be further
 provided, in addition to the elements of the cosmetic brush having a
 powder tube according to the present invention. The plate spring is
 inserted into a space formed by the lower cap 19 the brush guide 45 and
 the powder tube 61, and functions to increase elasticity for facilitating
 restoration of the powder tube 61 into an original state when the powder
 tube is restored by the elasticity alter pressing the opposed pressing
 devices 17. The silicon packing 62 have grooves radially disposed, for
 example, cross-shaped. Here, the shape of the grooves may differ according
 to the amount of powder sprayed. The silicon packing 62 is inserted
 between the powder tube 61 and the powder lid 63 connected to each other
 and serves as a film for preventing the powder exceeding a predetermined
 amount from being sprayed due to a pressure caused by the pressing devices
 17.
 As described above, according to the present invention, powder and a brush
 can be simultaneously used and the brush can be inserted into a housing
 into the original state after using the same. Also, the powder tube
 containing the powder can be replaced, thereby maximizing the convenience
 in use.
