COSMETIC CONTAINER PROVIDED WITH DUAL MESH COMPOSED OF DISCHARGE MESH AND ELASTIC MESH

The present invention relates to a cosmetic container provided with a dual mesh composed of a discharge mesh and an elastic mesh and, more particularly, a cosmetic container provided with a dual mesh composed of a discharge mesh and an elastic mesh, wherein liquid phase or a phase contents are stored inside a content container, and the dual mesh composed of the discharge mesh and the elastic mesh is formed above the content container. Discharge holes of the elastic mesh are formed larger than those of the discharge mesh to increase the permeability of the contents through the elastic mesh, and the discharge holes of the discharge mesh are formed smaller than those of the elastic mesh to decrease the permeability of the contents through the discharge mesh. Therefore, when a user compresses the discharge mesh and the elastic mesh with a puff, a large amount of the contents stored in the content container are discharged through the coarsely woven elastic mesh, and the contents are then evenly discharged throughout the entirety of the densely woven discharge mesh such that the contents are uniformly applied onto an application surface of the puff, thus preventing makeup from clumping and improving the convenience of using the makeup.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is based on and claims the benefit of priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2017-0029104 filed on Mar. 7, 2017, with the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a cosmetic container provided with a dual mesh composed of a discharge mesh and an elastic mesh and, more particularly, to a cosmetic container provided with a dual mesh composed of a discharge mesh and an elastic mesh, wherein liquid phase or gel phase contents are stored inside a content container, and the dual mesh composed of the discharge mesh and the elastic mesh is formed above the content container. Discharge holes or the elastic mesh are formed larger than those of the discharge mesh to increase the permeability of the contents through the elastic mesh, and the discharge holes of the discharge mesh are formed smaller than those of the elastic mesh and located above the elastic mesh to decrease the permeability of the contents through the discharge mesh. Therefore, when a user compresses the discharge mesh and the elastic mesh with a puff, a large amount of the contents stored in the content container are discharged through the elastic mesh, and the contents are then evenly discharged throughout the discharge mesh having small discharge holes such that the contents are uniformly applied onto an application surface of the puff, thus preventing makeup from clumping and improving the convenience of use.

Background Art

In general, women perform makeup by using cosmetic products to make their faces look bright and beautiful.

The cosmetic products are classified into basic cosmetics, makeup cosmetics, functional cosmetics, hair cosmetics and the like according to a function of the cosmetic products. In addition, the cosmetic products are classified into powder, liquid, gel, and solid cosmetic products according to a state of the cosmetic products, and stored in a container suitable for each state of the cosmetic products.

The makeup cosmetics are classified into a base makeup used for uniformly toning the skin and covering a defect on the skin and a point makeup for partially increasing a three-dimensional effect on lips, eyes, nails and the like, in which the base makeup includes a makeup base, a foundation, a powder and the like, and the point makeup includes a lipstick, an eyeliner, a mascara and the like.

Among the makeup cosmetics, the foundation included in the base makeup is classified into a solid foundation, a liquid foundation and a gel foundation according to a type of cosmetic contents. Although the solid foundation produces an effect of excellently covering the skin, the solid foundation may be conglomerated when correcting the makeup. In addition, the liquid foundation has good adhesion property, but the sustainability is weak.

Therefore, recently, a gel-phase foundation, which gives a feeling of lightness and moist feelings and shows a refreshing feel, is increasingly used.

However, when the gel-phase foundation filled in a conventional container is used, it is difficult to take out the same amount of the gel-phase foundation because the gel-phase foundation is applied to the skin by taking out or squeezing the gel-phase foundation using a hand or a puff.

Further, there is an inconvenience in use because the gel-phase foundation is not uniformly put on the entire puff, but is put only on a part of the puff.

In order to solve such a problem, as shown inFIG. 1, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1257628 discloses a compact container having an impregnation member accommodated therein. According to the above related art, the impregnation member formed of urethane foam is impregnated with a gel-shape cosmetic material and the impregnation member is directly pressed by a puff in use.

However, the above related art has a problem that the impregnation member is contaminated or broken due to repeated contact of the puffs because the user directly presses the impregnation member by using the puff to apply the contents put on the puff to the skin.

In addition, when the amount of the gel-phase cosmetic material impregnated in the impregnation member is reduced due to the long period of use, there is an inconvenience that the pressure for pressing the impregnation member with the puff has to be increased to discharge the gel-phase cosmetic material, which may cause the breakage of the impregnation member. In addition, the elastic force of the impregnating member is reduced, so that the shape of the impregnation member is deformed, thereby degrading the aesthetic feeling.

In order to solve the above problem, as shown inFIG. 2, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1686354 discloses a cosmetic container containing liquid contents. The above related art includes a discharge surface for discharging the liquid content as a puff is pressed, and a blocking surface provided adjacent to a surface through which the liquid content is discharged from the discharge surface and covering the deflection of the discharge surface, wherein the blocking surface is prepared in the form of a lace or the like and has higher permeability and elasticity for the content as compared with the discharge surface.

Therefore, when the discharge surface is continuously pressed by the puff and deflection occurs, the discharge surface is covered with the blocking surface, thereby preventing degradation of the aesthetic feeling.

However, according to the conventional art, since the clearance of the blocking surface is relatively larger than the clearance of the discharge surface, the liquid content is not uniformly discharged to an upper portion of the blocking surface, so that the liquid content cannot be put on the entire surface of the puff, causing the clumping of the makeup.

In addition, according to the related art, when it is used for a long period of time, a space is formed between the discharge surface sagged downward and the blocking surface, so that the liquid content discharged into the space may be easily contaminated by contaminated air flowing through a large clearance of the blocking surface.

BEST MODE

Mode for Invention

The technical objects implemented by embodiments of the present invention will be more apparent from the following detailed description. Hereinafter, embodiments of a cosmetic container provided with a dual mesh composed of discharge mesh and an elastic mesh according to the present invention will be described in retail with reference to accompanying drawings.

FIG. 3is a perspective view of a cosmetic container according to the present invention,FIG. 4is an exploded perspective view of a cosmetic container according to the present invention,FIG. 5is a sectional view of a cosmetic container according to the present invention, andFIG. 6is a sectional view showing a state in which a dual mesh of a cosmetic container according to the present invention is pressurized to discharge contents to the outside.

A cosmetic container provided with a dual mesh composed of a discharge mesh and an elastic mesh according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a content container10in which contents are stored, and a dual mesh20that discharges the contents stored in the content container to an outside as pressure is applied thereto and includes a discharge mesh22and an elastic mesh24, wherein discharge holes formed in the discharge mesh22may be relatively smaller than discharge holes formed in the elastic mesh, so that, when the dual mesh20is pressed, the contents stored in the content container may be primarily passed through the elastic mesh24and secondarily discharged uniformly to an entire surface of the discharge mesh22having the discharge holes with relatively small sizes.

Liquid-phase or gel-phase contents may be stored in the content container10.

The content container10may include an inner wall12and an outer wall14spaced apart from the inner wall12by a predetermined distance and extending upward.

A frame40may be coupled to an outer periphery of the inner wall12of the content container10and a first hinge portion16may be provided at one side of the outer wall14.

The content container10may be hinged with a content container lid30for opening and closing the content container10.

A puff receiving groove32capable of storing a puff P may be formed in an upper portion of the content container lid30and a lid grip34may protrude outward from one side of the content container lid30to allow a user to easily open and close the content container lid30.

A second hinge portion36may be provided on an opposite side of the lid grip34of the content container lid30and may be hinged to the first hinge portion16of the content container10.

A sealing wheel38may extend downward from the content container lid30, in which the sealing wheel38may adhere to an inner periphery of an outer wall14of the content container10when the content container lid30is closed, thereby tightly sealing the content container10.

The content container10may be coupled to the inside of a container body50as shown inFIG. 4.

A container lid60may be hinged to one side of the container body50to open or close the container body50.

A button52may be provided on a front surface of the container body50and a latching protrusion522may protrude from an upper portion of the button52.

A hook62in the form of a protrusion may be provided on the front surface of the container lid60so as to be fastened to the latching protrusion522of the button52.

A mirror64may be provided inside the container lid60to allow the user to easily perform the makeup.

The dual mesh20may discharge the contents stored in the content container10to the outside as the pressure is applied from the puff P.

The dual mesh20may be formed of a fabric, that is, a woven cloth which is provided by alternately weaving a warp (warp yarn) and a weft (weft yarn) such that the warp and weft cross each other.

As shown inFIG. 6, when the dual mesh20is pressed with a makeup tool such as the puff P, the dual mesh20is expanded while being pressed downward so that the contents stored in the content container10may be discharged to the outside through discharge holes formed between the warp and weft. Accordingly, only the contents discharged from the content container10may be put on the surface of the puff P, and the puff P does not make contact with the contents stored in the content container10, so that the contents stored in the content container10may not be contaminated by the bacteria and waste materials on the puff (P).

The dual mesh20may be composed of the discharge mesh22and the elastic mesh24and the discharge mesh22and the elastic mesh24may be formed in a stack structure.

As shown inFIG. 4, the discharge holes formed in the discharge mesh22of the dual mesh20may be relatively small, and the discharge holes formed in the elastic mesh24may be relatively large.

Therefore, when the dual mesh20is pressed, the contents stored in the content container10may primarily pass through the elastic mesh24having the discharge holes with a relatively large size, and then pass through the discharge mesh22having the discharge holes with a relatively small size so that the contents may be evenly discharged to the entire surface of the discharge mesh22.

In other words, according to the present invention, the dual mesh20may be connected to an upper portion of the content container10, in which the elastic mesh24of the dual mesh20may be formed with the discharge holes having a relatively large size to increase the permeability of the contents and the discharge mesh22may be formed with the discharge holes having a relatively small to lower the permeability of the contents. Thus, as shown in the enlarged view ofFIG. 6, when the dual mesh20is pressed, the contents passing through the large discharge holes of the elastic mesh24may be discharged and distributed again through the small discharge holes of the discharge mesh22so that the contents may be evenly discharged to the entire upper surface of the discharge mesh22.

In addition, the discharge mesh22of the dual mesh20may have the structure in which the discharge holes are densely woven and the elastic mesh24may have the structure in which the discharge holes are coarsely woven. The elastic mesh24may serve to supplement the elasticity of the discharge mesh22below the discharge mesh22.

That is, after using the contents which are discharged by pressing the discharge mesh22and the elastic mesh24, if the force applied to the discharge mesh22is released, external air may flow into the discharge holes of the discharge mesh22to restore the discharge mesh22to its original state. However, due to the high viscosity of the contents remaining in the discharge holes of the discharge mesh22, the contents may not be easily introduced into the contents container10together with the external air so that the discharge mesh22may be sagged downward.

In this case, since the elastic mesh24formed below the discharge mesh22pushes up the discharge mesh22upward, the discharge mesh22may be elastically restored to its original state and tightly maintained. In addition, since the contents do not exist in the discharge holes of the discharge mesh22, the contents may be blocked from the outside by the discharge mesh and the elastic mesh24, so that the contents may not be contaminated.

In addition, since the discharge mesh22of the dual mesh is densely woven, the liquid-phase or gel-phase contents stored in the content container10may not be discharged to the outside unless the dual mesh20is pressed by the user, so that the sanitary and convenience of the cosmetic container may be improved.

The sizes of the discharge holes formed in the discharge mesh22and the elastic mesh24may vary depending on the viscosity of the contents stored in the content container10. For example, when the viscosity of the contents stored in the content container10is low, the discharge holes formed in the discharge mesh22and the elastic mesh24may have smaller sizes. In contrast, when the viscosity of the contents stored in the content container10is high, the discharge holes formed in the discharge mesh22and the elastic mesh24may have larger sizes.

The discharge mesh22and the elastic mesh24of the dual mesh20may be bonded to the frame40so that the discharge mesh and the elastic mesh24may be kept in close contact with each other.

That is, as shown inFIG. 5, according to the present invention, the discharge mesh22and the elastic mesh24may be bonded to the frame40, so that the discharge mesh22and the elastic mesh24may be kept in close contact with each other without forming a space between the discharge mesh22and the elastic mesh24even when the discharge mesh22and the elastic mesh24are used for a long period of time, so that the contents stored in the content container10may not be easily contaminated because the exposure of the contents stored in the content container10to the outside may be minimized.

In addition, it is advantageous to tightly stretch the discharge mesh22and the elastic mesh24of the dual mesh20when they are bonded to the frame40such that the discharge mesh22and the elastic mesh24can be prevented from being sagged downward.

When the dual mesh20is used for a long period of time, the dual mesh20may be sagged inward of the content container10due to the weight of the contents to be impregnated into the dual mesh20, the surface tension of the contents stored in the content container10, and the repetition of the pressure application. According to the present invention, in order to compensate for the sagging phenomenon, the discharge mesh22and the elastic mesh24may be bonded to the frame40in a state in which the discharge mesh22and the elastic mesh24are tightly stretched in a dual structure.

The discharge mesh22and the elastic mesh24of the dual mesh20may be bonded to a ring-shaped frame40.

The frame40may include a bonding portion42extending inward and a coupling portion44extending downward from the bonding portion42.

The dual mesh20may be bonded to the bonding portion42of the frame40through ultrasonic bonding, high frequency bonding, thermal bonding, or adhesive bonding.

The coupling portion44of the frame40may be coupled to an outer periphery of the inner wall12of the content container10. The frame40and the content container10may be connected to each other in various ways such as undercut coupling, screw coupling or press fitting.

FIG. 7is an exploded perspective view showing a state in which characters or images are formed in the elastic mesh of the cosmetic container according to the present invention.

According to the present invention, as shown inFIG. 7, characters or images may be formed on the elastic mesh24of the dual mesh20.

The characters or images may be formed on the elastic mesh by an embroidery method or a printing method, and the characters or images formed on the elastic mesh24may be gently expressed to the outside through the discharge holes of the discharge mesh22to enhance the aesthetic feeling.

A method of assembling and using the cosmetic container having the dual mesh composed of the discharge mesh and the elastic mesh constructed as described above will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown inFIGS. 4 and 5, in order to assemble the cosmetic container having the dual mesh made composed of the discharge mesh and the elastic mesh according to one embodiment of the present invention, the content container lid30may be hinged to one side of the content container10, and the content container10may be filled with the liquid-phase or gel-phase cosmetic material.

Next, the discharge mesh22and the elastic mesh24are bonded to a lower surface of the bonding portion42of the frame by ultrasonic bonding, high frequency bonding, thermal bonding, or adhesive bonding. In this case, it is advantageous to tightly stretch the discharge mesh22and the elastic mesh24when they are bonded to the frame40.

Then, the frame40, to which the discharge mesh22and the elastic mesh24are bonded as described above, may be fitted into the inner wall12of the content container10.

Next, the content container10may be mounted inside the container body50where the container lid60is hinged to one side of the container body50.

Finally, the container lid60may be closed to complete the assembling work for the cosmetic container having the dual mesh composed of the discharge mesh and the elastic mesh according to one embodiment of the present invention.

In order to use the cosmetic container having the dual mesh composed of the discharge mesh and the elastic mesh assembled as described above, the container lid60may be first opened by pressing the button52formed on the front surface of the container body50, then, as shown inFIG. 5, the content container lid30may be opened by rotating the content container lid30from the content container10.

Then, the discharge mesh22of the dual mesh20is pressed by the makeup tool such as the puff P, so that the dual mesh20may be pressed down. Thus, the contents stored in the content container10may pass through the discharge holes formed in the elastic mesh24, and then, may be discharged to the outside through the discharge holes formed in the discharge mesh22so that the contents are put on the surface of the puff P.

That is, as shown in the enlarged view ofFIG. 6, the contents stored in the content container10may be first introduced into the large-size discharge holes formed in the elastic mesh24, then, distributed to the small-size discharge holes formed in the discharge mesh22to pass through the small-size discharge holes formed in the discharge mesh22, so that the contents may be uniformly discharged to the entire upper surface of the discharge mesh22.

Then, when the pressure applied to the dual mesh20is released, the elastic force of the discharge mesh22may be increased by the elastic mesh24so that the discharge mesh22may be elastically restored to its original state while being tightly maintained without sagging downward together with the contents.

In this state, the makeup may be performed by using the puff P. After the makeup has been completed, the container lid20may be closed to complete the use of the cosmetic container having the dual mesh composed of the discharge mesh and the elastic mesh according to the present invention.

As described above, the present invention is only one embodiment for carrying out a cosmetic container having a dual mesh composed of a discharge mesh and an elastic mesh, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
