Thus, the lipstick becomes stuck to the impurities giving an unpleassant feeling sometimes. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The objective of the invention is to provide an automatic lipstick case, wherein a stopper is formed on the upper portion housing a dish vertical sliding tube together with a dish. Along the circumferential surface of the dish turning tube, a dish vertical sliding tube provided with a spiral guide groove is mounted so as to be turn. After a shutter is mounted to the shutter vertical sliding tube, the dish vertical sliding tube and the shutter vertical sliding tube are to be combined with a lower case. The dish turning tube is mounted in the upper case which can turn in the lower case as an automatic lipstick case. Taking and turning the upper case of an automatic lipstick case by one hand, as well as the lower case by the other hand, the dish turning tube stands still together with the upper case. However, said lower case, dish vertical sliding tube and shutter turning tube are turned together. Thus the shutter is to open and close the lipstick outlet automatically along the spiral guide groove provided in the shutter turning tube. At the same time the lipstick with the dish is arranged to come in and out the lipstick outlet of the upper case along the straight guide groove of the dish vertical sliding tube as well as along turning guide groove of the dish turning tube. Therefore, the upper case would not be necessarily removed from the lower case. Further, the objective of the invention is also to provide with an automatic lipstick case, wherein a horizontal guide groove around a circumferential direction is additionally extended at each end point of the spiral guide groove for each said dish turning tube and shutter turning tube. In this way, some interference and crashing each other may be preventive by making the lipstick with the dish come in and out after the outlet of the uppercase is fully opened and closed by the shutter.

A definite profile as a stopper(33) is provided for matching the upper case(7)(one practical example according to the invention shows a rectangular form ). Further in case of inserting the dish turning tube(3) into said case(7), said stopper(33) is restricted in its moving due to interfering with the guide surface of said case(7). The dish turning tube (3) is always in a position either to stillstanding together with the upper case(7) or to turning. The stopper(33) plays also a guide functioning of the shutter. The shutter vertical sliding tube(4) has a machined spiral groove(42) along the outer circumferential surface, wherein the spiral direction of the guide groove(42) later at the time of inserting the shutter(5) into the guide groove(42), is so arranged that the moving direction of the shutter(5) may be contrary to of said dish(l). On the lower portion of the body (41), a machined connection portion(43) is provided with for the purpose of combining the connection portion (23) of said vertical sliding tube(2). In this case, the profile of the joint portion (43) in a saw teeth or spline form is provided for matching the joint portion(23) of said vertical sliding tube(2). The shutter(5) is formed of a body (51) of soft material with a guide protrusion. The lower case(6) forms a joint portion (62) for connecting and fixing one of the joint portion (23 ) of said vertical sliding tube(2) or (43) of said shutter vertical sliding tube (4), with a machined turning guide(63) around the circumferential surface of the body(61), wherein in case of inserting said case(7) into the turning guide portion(63), is arranged to guide dish turning motion of said case(7). The upper case(7) is formed of a body (71) with a definite profile(Figl shows a rectangular section form as an example) and size capable of housing said shutter(5), wherein ont the upper end portion of the body (71), a guide peace(72) is provided with a little less width than of said shutter(5) to guide said shutter(5), and also on the upper end portion of the body(7) the portion excluding the guide peace(72) is provided with the lipstick(L) outlet(73 ) machined capable of its coming in and out, on the lower end portion of the body(71) a turning portion(74) is formed of matching with the turning guide(63) of said lower case(6). An assembled state of combining the elements so formed is observed tother with Fig.l 1. Matching a protrusion(12) of the dish(l) in the guide groove(22) of the vertical sliding tube(2), the dish(l) is mounted to the dish vertical sliding tube(2). On the other hand, by mounting the dish turning tube(3) to the body(21) of the dish vertical sliding tube (2), wherein said protrusion (12) is to be mounted so that may be through said straight guide groove(22) and ready to move along the inner spiral guide groove(32) for the dish turning tube(3). Further, the shutter turning tube (4) is mounted so that may turn around the outer circumferential surface of the dish turning tube (3 ) , wherein on the connective portion(43) of the shutter dish turning tube (4), said connective portion(23) of the dish vertical sliding tube (2) is mounted and the lower portion (62) for the lower case(6) to the connective portion(23 ) for said vertical sliding tube(2) is assembled, thus said dish vertical sliding tube(2) and the shutter turning tube (4) is mounted so that may turn together with the lower case(6). And said protrusion (52) of the shutter(5) is inserted into the spiral guide groove(2) of the shutter turning tube(4). The upper case(7) is assembled by closing and covering said dish(l), vertical sliding tube(2), dish turning tube (3), shutter vertical sliding tube(4), and the shutter(5). The dish turning portion(74) for said case(7) is matched with the turning guide(63) for the lower case(6) so that said upper and lower case(6,7) may be mutually turned, and said dish(l) houses a lipstick(L). Fig.l 2 indicates a practical application for an automatic lipstick case according to the invention. In this way, in case of using the lipstick(L), taking the upper case(7) by one hand(for example right hand) and lower case(6) by the other hand(for example left hand), turning the lower case(6) to the left at the same time, the dish turning tube(3) stands still. On the other hand, the lower case(6) turns said each dish and shutter vertical sliding tube (2), (4) at the same time. Thus, said shutter vertical sliding tube opens the outlet(73) of the upper case(7) by having the shutter(5) move down. Meanwhile, the vertical sliding tube(2) lifts the dish(l) up and juts the lipstick(L) out to the outside of the outlet(73) for the upper case(7), which is ready for use. After using the lipstick(L), it(L) moves down together with the dish(l) in the reverse direction (left) of lifting up, turning the lower case to the left. Meanwhile, the shutter(5) ascends and closes the outlet(7 ) of the upper case(7). In this way, as the automatic lipstick case according to the invention turns the upper and lower case integrated without seperating each other in the opposite direction and automatic motion for opening and closing the shutter is achieved. This ensures an up and downward motion of the lipstick. Therefore, it may be a very convenient way of using the lipstick without worrying about its case loss. Fig.13 to Fig.15 indicate other practical examples for the automatic lipstick case. Opening motion of the shutter(5) begins and at the same time, the lipstick(L ) moves up or as the lipstick(L) finishes descending motion, at the same time, the sutter(5) begins to close. By the way, to overcome some direct rubbing or interference during each up and downward motion between the shutter and lipstick, one preventive measure is provided with so that the shutter after its fully opening first, the lipstick may jut out, and also the lipstick after its full downward motion, the shutter may be closed. To ensure said motions, a horizontal guide groove(83) is extended at the end point of the spiral guide groove(82) for the dish turning tube and also a same extension(93) as said (83) is provided with at the end point of the spiral guide groove (92) of the shutter dish turning tube(9). Thus, in case turning the vertical sliding tube(2) and shutter dish turning tube (9) together with the lower case(6) to the right to lift the lipstick(L) upward, the dish(l), that is, the lipstick(L) stands still during passing the horizontal guide groove(83), meanwhile the shutter continuing to maintain opening motion and just at a fully opening stage of the shutter, the dish(l) begins to jut up along the spiral guide groove(82) of the dish turning tube(8), on the contrary, in case turning the dish turning tube (8) and the shutter(9) together with the lower case(6) to the left, at this time, the shutter(5) stands still in the horizontal guide groove(93) while the lipstick(L) moves fully down for a considerable time. Then at this stage, the shutter begins to move upward along the spiral guide groove(92) of the dish turning tube (9) and closes the lipstick(L). POSSIBILITY OF THE INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIOPN The automatic lipstick according to the invention may be applicable to various comsmeticcases such as for lipstick, e eliner.eyeshadow etcwhere those solid bar type cosmetics may be able to jut out very easily and conveniently during their make ups.
