Title: Lipstick vessel

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present invention relates to a lipstick vessel, and more particularly, to a lipstick vessel which does not allow outside air to enter the vessel when the lipstick is not in use, thereby preventing deterioration of the lipstick. 
     BACKGROUND ART 
     In general, the cosmetics which are used as a tool for making up the face are used in different functions depending on each part of the face, especially a typical example of the cosmetics used as a tool to makeup the lips may be a lipstick or a lip liner. 
     Such a conventional lipstick vessel is embedded with a bar-shaped lipstick in a separate case to be used for applying colors on the part of lips, and a lip liner is used to draw the lip line to sharpen the outline of lips. It is a general trend that lip cosmetics such as lipstick and lip liner are used together in combination with lipsticks and lip liners of the same color system, which are produced in various colors according to preference of the user and are sold in the market. 
     Meanwhile, the lipstick vessel described above includes a main body which is rotated by using hands of a user and a lipstick vessel received with a lipstick, which is coupled and fixed to an upper portion of the main body and is lifted and lowered by rotation of the main body. 
     The solid type lipstick is inserted and accommodated in the lipstick vessel described above by using an automated machine. In this case, however, when the lipstick vessel which is rotatably coupled to the main body is shaken by an external impact during transportation, the problem arises that a part of the solid type lipstick is inserted in a state of being pulled out to the outside without being correctly positioned in the center of the main body.

     The lower cover  30  is provided with a plurality of vertical protrusions  32  at the lower inner circumference. The plurality of vertical protrusions  32  are inserted into a plurality of vertical grooves  41  formed at the lower outer circumference of the rotating body  40  to be rotatable depending on the rotation of the lower cover  30 . 
     A plurality of vertical guide protrusions  33  are formed even on the upper inner circumference of the lower cover  30  so as to guide when the rotating body  40  is inserted. 
     The rotating body  40  is provided with a central protrusion rod  42  protruding from the bottom surface inside the center of the rotating body to safely seat a leg portion  51  of the lipstick holding member  50 ; and a spiral-shaped portion  43 , in which a screw is formed on the inner circumferential wall spacing apart from the central protrusion rod  42  to be screw-coupled to a spiral engagement protrusion  52  of the leg portion  51 . 
     The lipstick holding member  50  includes: a holding portion  53  in the shape of a cylinder, which holds a lipstick  1  vertically at the upper portion thereof; a leg portion  51  in the shape of a circular rod, protruding downward at the center of the lower end surface of the holding portion  53 ; a spiral engagement protrusion  52  which is protruded to both sides at the lower end of the leg portion  51  to be screw-coupled to the spiral-shaped portion  43  of the rotating body  40 ; a guide protrusion  54  protruding in the direction perpendicular to the two spiral engagement protrusions  52 , which is guided to be inserted into the guide member  60 ; and a contact protrusion  55 , a plurality pieces of which are protruded on the inner circumferential wall of the leg portion  51  to which the central protrusion rod  42  of the rotating body  40  is inserted to be in close contact with the outer circumference of the central protrusion rod  42 . 
     The contact protrusion  55  guides so that the lipstick holding member  50  is lifted and lowered vertically. 
     The guide member  60  includes: a square-shaped through-hole  61  which penetrates the upper surface, into which the leg portion  51  of the lipstick holding member  50  is inserted; a pair of first guide grooves  62  which is formed on the side surface facing the square-shaped through-hole  61 , into which the spiral engagement protrusion  52  of the leg portion  51  is inserted; a pair of second guide grooves  63  which is formed on the surfaces perpendicular to the first guide grooves  62 , into which the guide protrusion  54  of the leg portion  51  is inserted; a circumferential coupling groove  64  which is formed on the inner circumferential upper side thereof so that a coupling protrusion  44  protruding in the circumferential direction from the upper outer circumference of the rotating body  40  is inserted therein; and a support protrusion  65  protruding from the outer circumferential lower end thereof and supporting so that the lower end of the lipstick receiving member  70  is safely seated. 
     Next, the function and the effect of the lipstick vessel configured as described above will be explained. 
     First, describing the assembly process of the lipstick container, since the rotating body  40  is inserted into the lower cover  30 , when the vertical guide protrusion  33  formed on the upper inner circumference of the lower cover  30  is inserted into a plurality of vertical groves  41  of the rotating body  40  to be lowered, a plurality of vertical protrusions  32  of the lower cover  30  are inserted into the vertical grooves  41 . In addition, since a guide member  60  is coupled to the upper part of the rotating body  40 , a coupling protrusion  44  of the rotating body  30  is inserted into a circumferential coupling groove  64  formed on the upper inner circumference of the guide member  60 . 
     In this state, the spiral engagement protrusion  52  is positioned on the spiral-shaped portion  43  while the spiral engagement protrusion  52  and the guide protrusion  54  which are formed in the leg portion  51  of the lipstick holding member  50  are inserted into the first and the second guide grooves  62 ,  63 , respectively, and then is lowered to the lower part of the rotating body  40  as shown in  FIG. 2  while rotating the spiral engagement protrusion. 
     In addition, the lipstick receiving member  70  is safely seated on the lower support protrusion  65  of the guide member  60  of which the outer circumference has the lower outer diameter tapered larger than the upper outer diameter. 
     Thereafter, when pushing the shoulder  20  downward through the outer side of the lipstick receiving member  70  to which the packing member  24  is coupled on the upper surface, the second circular protrusion  31  of the lower cover  30  is inserted into the lower circular groove  23  of the shoulder  20  to be rotatably coupled, and the central circumferential protrusion  21  is safely seated on the upper surface of the lower cover  30 . 
     When closing the upper cover  10  in this state, the first circular protrusion  11  is inserted into the upper circular groove  22  of the shoulder  20 , and the inner circumferential surface of the upper cover  10  is in contact with the packing member  24  to prevent outside air from entering into the lipstick vessel. 
     When rotating the lower cover  30  after opening the upper cover  10  to use the lipstick vessel, the spiral engagement protrusion  52  of the leg portion  51  engaged with the spiral-shaped portion  43  inside the lip cover is lifted along the spiral-shaped portion  43  to use the lipstick ( FIG. 3 ). 
     Since the lipstick receiving member  50  is provided with the guide protrusion  54  which is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the leg portion  51  to be inserted into the second guide groove  63  of the guide member  60 , it is lifted and lowered vertically without rotating depending on the rotation of the rotating body  40 . 
     As described above, while the present invention has been described with respect to the specific embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications could be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the claims.
