Patent Description:
Makeup products are classified into base makeup products that are used to even out a skin tone or cover flaws and point makeup products that give a three-dimensional effect to parts of the face or body such as lips, eyes, and fingernails. The base makeup products include a makeup base, a foundation, powder, and the like, and the point makeup products include a lipstick, an eyeliner, a mascara, and the like.

The foundation is classified into a solid foundation, a liquid foundation, and a gel foundation according to the form of a cosmetic material. In the case of solid foundation, the coverage is high, but there is a disadvantage in that makeup becomes cakey when touching up makeup. Therefore, nowadays, many consumers prefer a liquid or gel foundation that lasts considerably long and has good adhesion when applied to the skin.

Accordingly, the development of containers for liquid or gel foundation has also become necessary. Generally, a glass container or a tubular container is filled with a liquid or gel foundation, and upon using the foundation, a user takes some foundation from the glass container or squeezes some foundation out of the tubular container onto his or her hand and then uses a puff or his or her hand to apply the foundation onto the skin. However, the related art has problems in that, since the user's hand gets stained with the cosmetic material every time the user uses the foundation, the user has to wash his or her hand every time and the cosmetic material is wasted.

In order to address such problems, a compact container has been introduced in which an impregnation member impregnated with a liquid or gel foundation is embedded in the compact container and an applicator such as a puff is used to apply the foundation, which is impregnated in the impregnation member, onto the skin.

For the compact container, there is a need to allow the impregnation member impregnated with the foundation to be separated and replaced when necessary and to stably fix the impregnation member in an accommodation space. Thus, conventionally, a ring-shaped fixer that is coupled to the accommodation space for the impregnation member and forms a step in a horizontal direction has been mainly used.

However, although such a fixer has no problem in fixing an impregnation member of which an upper surface and/or a lower surface are/is configured to be flat, the fixer has a limitation that it is not suitable for effectively supporting impregnation members having various other shapes. In particular, in a case in which an impregnation member is implemented in a convex shape in which a thickness increases in a direction from an edge to a central portion, there is a problem in that it is difficult to stably fix the impregnation member in the accommodation space using the fixer.

Therefore, there is a need for technology for addressing the above-mentioned problems.

For example, <CIT> discloses a refill container using double injection comprising: a refill container for containing a cosmetic material, wherein the refill container is formed of a synthetic resin or a metallic material and has an impregnation member in which the cosmetic material is impregnated; a refill container holder which is coupled to the top of the refill container; and a refill container cover which is opened and closed by being hinge-coupled to the refill container holder, wherein the refill container holder is formed by doubly injecting or insert-injecting a packing part of an elastic material therein. <CIT> relates to a sponge-impregnated cosmetic agent container wherein a lower container is formed with a storage space that is opened upward; a sponge impregnated with a liquid or powder of a cosmetic agent which is stored in the storage space. <CIT> describes a cosmetic container provided with a rubber discharge pad, in which: a rubber discharge pad having a plurality of discharge ports is coupled to a container body, and when the rubber discharge pad is pressed, the rubber discharge pad is pressed to the bottom of the container body by elasticity such that the content accommodated in the container body is capable of being used without residual content.

The present invention is directed to providing a cosmetic container including an inner container that is easily detachable from an outer container and is capable of stably accommodating an impregnation member.

The technical objectives of the present invention are not limited to the above objective, and other objectives may become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art from the following description.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a cosmetic container as defined in claim <NUM>.

The impregnation member may be formed to have edges bonded to each other and may be formed in a convex shape in which an upper surface and a lower surface are opposite to each other with a bonding portion disposed therebetween, and the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion may press an inclined inner circumferential portion of the bonding portion of the upper surface of the impregnation member.

The inner container may have a lower surface formed to convexly protrude downward so that the second accommodating portion has a shape that corresponds to the impregnation member, and the outer container may have a lower surface formed to convexly protrude downward so that the inner container is accommodated inside the first accommodating portion.

At least a portion of the lower surface of the outer container may be formed to be open so that at least a portion of the inner container accommodated in the first accommodating portion is exposed to the outside.

The second fixing portion may include one or more pressing protrusions, and at least one of the pressing protrusions may pass through the upper surface of the impregnation member to fix the impregnation member.

The first fixing portion may be formed so that at least a portion thereof is inclined toward the center of the second accommodating portion.

One or more fixing protrusions may be formed on an inner side surface of the first accommodating portion to protrude inward therefrom, one or more fixing grooves that correspond to the fixing protrusions may be formed in an outer side surface of the inner container, and when coupling the inner container, each of the fixing protrusions may be bound to one of the fixing grooves that corresponds thereto.

The cosmetic container may further include an inner cover coupled to seal the inner container, and a sealing portion configured to come into close contact with an inner side surface of an edge portion of the inner container to seal the inner container may be provided on one surface of the inner cover that is adjacent to the inner container.

The cosmetic container may further include an outer cover coupled to seal the outer container, the outer cover may be configured to rotate by a first hinge, the inner cover may be configured to rotate by a second hinge, and the first hinge and the second hinge may be configured to be spaced a predetermined angle apart from each other.

A third accommodating portion that is recessed inward may be formed on one surface of the inner cover that is opposite to the inner container.

The cosmetic container may further include an applicator accommodated in the third accommodating portion.

According to the present invention, a coupling portion is coupled to an upper portion of an inner container, and a fixing portion of the coupling portion supports an impregnation member, which is disposed inside the inner container and impregnated with a cosmetic solution, from an upper side to stably fix the impregnation member and prevent the impregnation member from coming out of the inner container. In particular, the fixing portion is provided as a plurality of fixing portions, and a protruding length of the fixing portions increases outward to more stably fix the impregnation member having a convex shape.

Also, according to the present invention, a plurality of pressing protrusions are formed at a front end of a second fixing portion of the coupling portion disposed at an outer side, and at least some of the pressing protrusions are made to penetrate a mesh structure of the impregnation member to maximize a fixing force for the impregnation member.

Also, according to the present invention, since, when accommodating the impregnation member in the inner container, an exposed portion of the impregnation member has a form in which the center convexly protrudes upward, a residual cosmetic material, which is discharged from the impregnation member but not applied on an applicator, can be collected around the impregnation member and effectively absorbed into the impregnation member again instead of leaking to the outside.

Referring to <FIG>, a cosmetic container <NUM> includes an outer container <NUM>, an inner container <NUM>, a coupling portion <NUM>, and an impregnation member <NUM>. The cosmetic container <NUM> may further an outer cover <NUM> and an inner cover <NUM>.

The outer container <NUM> is configured to accommodate various components in the cosmetic container <NUM>. In particular, a first accommodating portion <NUM> may be formed in the outer container <NUM> so as to accommodate the inner container <NUM> therein. The first accommodating portion <NUM> may have a shape that corresponds to an outer shape of the inner container <NUM>, and one or more fixing protrusions <NUM> configured to fix coupling with the inner container <NUM> may be formed on an inner side surface of the first accommodating portion <NUM>. An opening <NUM> may be formed in a lower surface of the outer container <NUM>. That is, the opening <NUM>, in which at least a portion of the lower surface of the outer container <NUM> is open toward an inner side of the first accommodating portion <NUM>, may be formed, and at least a portion of a lower surface of the inner container <NUM> accommodated in the first accommodating portion <NUM> may be exposed to the outside of the outer container <NUM> through the opening <NUM>. Accordingly, by pressing an area of the inner container <NUM> exposed to the outside upward, a user may easily separate the inner container <NUM> from the first accommodating portion <NUM> of the outer container <NUM>.

The outer cover <NUM> may be coupled to seal the outer container <NUM>. For example, the outer cover <NUM> may be coupled to one side of the outer container <NUM> through a first hinge and may rotate by the first hinge to seal or open the outer container <NUM>. Meanwhile, a locking portion (not denoted by a reference numeral) configured to maintain a sealed state of the outer cover <NUM> may be formed at a position where the outer container <NUM> and the outer cover <NUM> correspond to each other (for example, a side opposite to the first hinge).

The inner container <NUM> is a container in which the impregnation member <NUM> is accommodated and is detachably coupled to the first accommodating portion <NUM> of the outer container <NUM>. For example, in order to allow the inner container <NUM> to be seated in the first accommodating portion <NUM> of the outer container <NUM>, at least a portion of the inner container <NUM> may have a shape that corresponds to the first accommodating portion <NUM>, and one or more fixing grooves <NUM> that correspond to the fixing protrusions <NUM> of the first accommodating portion <NUM> may be formed in an outer side surface of the inner container <NUM>. When the inner container <NUM> is inserted into the first accommodating portion <NUM>, the fixing protrusions <NUM>, each of which corresponds to one of the fixing grooves <NUM> of the inner container <NUM>, are bound to the fixing grooves <NUM> to fix coupling between the inner container <NUM> and the outer container <NUM>.

A second accommodating portion <NUM> configured to accommodate the impregnation member <NUM> is formed in the inner container <NUM>. To this end, at least a portion of the second accommodating portion <NUM> may have a shape that corresponds to the impregnation member <NUM>. The coupling portion <NUM> is coupled to the circumference of the second accommodating portion <NUM> to support the impregnation member <NUM> and prevent the impregnation member <NUM> from coming out of the second accommodating portion <NUM>.

A first edge portion <NUM> and a second edge portion <NUM> which is disposed to be spaced apart outward from the first edge portion <NUM> is formed on an upper portion of the inner container <NUM>. For example, the first edge portion <NUM> is formed along the circumference of the second accommodating portion <NUM> in order to be coupled with the coupling portion <NUM> for supporting the impregnation member <NUM>, and the second edge portion <NUM> may be coupled as the inner cover <NUM> seals the inner container <NUM>. A third edge portion <NUM> may be formed along a circumference of a lower portion of the inner container <NUM>. For example, the third edge portion <NUM> may be formed to be spaced apart outward from and to surround a lower end portion of the inner container <NUM> that forms the second accommodating portion <NUM>. In one embodiment, the third edge portion <NUM> may be configured to be continuous with the second edge portion <NUM> at the upper portion of the inner container <NUM> but formed to be closer to the second accommodating portion <NUM> than the second edge portion <NUM> (that is, an outer diameter thereof is formed smaller than that of the second edge portion <NUM>) such that a step (not denoted by a reference numeral) is formed at a connection portion between the second edge portion <NUM> and the third edge portion <NUM>. When coupling the inner container <NUM>, the step may be seated on a step formed to correspond to the first accommodating portion <NUM>.

The inner cover <NUM> is configured to open and seal the inner container <NUM> and may include a cover main body <NUM>, a handle portion <NUM>, a sealing portion <NUM>, and a third accommodating portion <NUM>. The inner cover <NUM> may be coupled to one side of the inner container <NUM> through a second hinge and may rotate by the second hinge to seal or open the inner container <NUM>. Here, in order to prevent interference, the second hinge may be implemented to be spaced a predetermined angle apart from the first hinge when the inner container <NUM> and the outer container <NUM> are coupled.

The cover main body <NUM> may be connected to the second hinge and allow the inner cover <NUM> to rotate, may seal and open at least a portion of the inner container <NUM>, and may provide a space in which the handle portion <NUM>, the sealing portion <NUM>, and the third accommodating portion <NUM> are formed and combined.

The handle portion <NUM> may be formed to protrude to the outside of the cover main body <NUM>. The handle portion <NUM> is configured to be gripped by a user, and the user may rotate the inner cover <NUM> through the handle portion <NUM> to open and seal the inner container <NUM> easily. In order to facilitate the rotation, the handle portion <NUM> may be formed at the opposite side of the second hinge, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

The sealing portion <NUM> configured to seal the inner container <NUM> may be provided on a bottom surface of the cover main body <NUM> (that is, adjacent to the inner container <NUM>). Unlike conventional sealing components which are made of a hard plastic material or made by combining the hard plastic material with a buffer portion made of a soft material, the sealing portion <NUM> of the present invention may be entirely made of a soft material, such as rubber, urethane, and silicone, to provide a greater sealing force and facilitate manufacture.

Specifically, the sealing portion <NUM> may be formed along the circumference of the cover main body <NUM> and may have an open central portion. In particular, a close-contact protrusion <NUM> that protrudes toward the cover main body <NUM> may be formed along the circumference of the sealing portion <NUM>. A close-contact groove <NUM> may be formed along the circumference of the bottom surface of the cover main body <NUM> so as to correspond to the close-contact protrusion <NUM>. By increasing a contact area for coupling between the cover main body <NUM> and the sealing portion <NUM> (that is, an adhesive material application area) through the close-contact groove <NUM> and the close-contact protrusion <NUM>, the sealing portion <NUM> may be more firmly coupled to the cover main body <NUM>.

Also, a sealing protrusion <NUM> may be provided to be formed along the circumference of the sealing portion <NUM> and to protrude downward. When the sealing portion <NUM> is coupled to the inner container <NUM> due to the rotation of the second hinge, the sealing protrusion <NUM> may come into close contact with an inner side surface of the second edge portion <NUM> to seal the inner container <NUM>. For firm sealing, an outer diameter of the sealing protrusion <NUM> may be formed to be smaller than an inner diameter of the second edge portion <NUM>, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

A plurality of coupling protrusions <NUM> may be formed on an outer side of the sealing protrusion <NUM>. The plurality of coupling protrusions <NUM> may be formed by a plurality of areas of an outer side surface of the sealing protrusion <NUM> protruding outward and may be spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction. Coupling grooves that correspond to the coupling protrusions <NUM> may be formed in an inner surface of the second edge portion <NUM> of the inner container <NUM>, and consequently, when the sealing portion <NUM> is coupled to the inner container <NUM>, the coupling protrusions <NUM> may be inserted into the coupling grooves, and thus, while the sealing portion <NUM> is fixed to the inner container <NUM>, sealing of the inner container <NUM> may be achieved.

Meanwhile, unlike the plurality of coupling protrusions <NUM> which are formed to be spaced apart from each other, the coupling grooves may be integrally formed along the circumference. That is, when the coupling protrusions <NUM> are inserted into the coupling groove due to the coupling between the inner cover <NUM> and the inner container <NUM>, air compressed between the inner cover <NUM> and the inner container <NUM> may be allowed to flow to the outside through an area of the outer side surface of the sealing protrusion <NUM> where the coupling protrusion <NUM> is not formed and through a coupling groove that corresponds thereto. After the coupling protrusions <NUM> are inserted into the coupling groove, the sealing protrusion <NUM> may be in solid close contact with the inner side surface of the second edge portion <NUM> along the circumference thereof to maintain the sealing of the inner container <NUM>. In this way, the air compression (that is, internal pressure) between the inner cover <NUM> and the inner container <NUM>, which may occur upon sealing, may be effectively addressed, and thus the inner cover <NUM> may seal the inner container <NUM> easily and stably.

The third accommodating portion <NUM> may be formed on one surface of the cover main body <NUM> that is opposite to the inner container <NUM>. The third accommodating portion <NUM> may be formed by the cover main body <NUM> being recessed inward, and an applicator for applying a cosmetic material, such as a puff or a brush, may be accommodated in the third accommodating portion <NUM>.

According to an embodiment, a sealing bottom surface <NUM> of the sealing portion <NUM> that is at an inner side of the sealing protrusion <NUM> may provide additional sealing. Specifically, when the inner cover <NUM> seals the inner container <NUM>, the sealing bottom surface <NUM> may press an upper surface of the coupling portion <NUM> that is inserted onto the first edge portion <NUM> of the inner container <NUM>. In this way, the sealing bottom surface <NUM> may firstly seal the impregnation member <NUM> at an inner side of the coupling portion <NUM> and thus allow the sealing portion <NUM> to provide double sealing.

The coupling portion <NUM> is coupled to the first edge portion <NUM> of the inner container <NUM> and presses or supports at least a partial area of the impregnation member <NUM>, which is accommodated in the second accommodating portion <NUM> and has a cosmetic material impregnated therein, to fix the impregnation member <NUM> and prevent the impregnation member <NUM> from coming out of the second accommodating portion <NUM>. The coupling portion <NUM> is formed in a ring shape that has an open central portion so that the impregnation member <NUM> is exposed to the outside through the open upper surface of the second accommodating portion <NUM>, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

The impregnation member <NUM> may be accommodated in the second accommodating portion <NUM> of the inner container <NUM> in a state in which a cosmetic material is impregnated in the impregnation member <NUM>. The cosmetic material impregnated in the impregnation member <NUM> may be applied on a cosmetic applicator (for example, a puff or the like) and used. Here, various examples of the cosmetic material include a lotion, a milk lotion, a moisturizing lotion, a nourishing lotion, a skin lotion, a skin softener, a skin toner, an astringent, a massage cream, a nourishing cream, a moisturizing cream, a sunscreen, an essence, sun milk, a blemish balm (BB) cream, a base, a foundation, a color correcting (CC) cream, sunblock, blush, concealer, eyeshadow, an eyebrow tint, and the like. The cosmetic material is preferably a liquid or gel, but at least some of the above-listed cosmetic materials may be non-liquid (that is, solid or semisolid).

The impregnation member <NUM> is made of a porous material, is impregnated with a cosmetic material, and allows the impregnated cosmetic material to be discharged when an external force is applied thereto. For example, the impregnation member <NUM> may be made of one or more materials selected from the group consisting of natural rubber, synthetic resin, polyurethane, latex, acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), butadiene rubber (BR), styrenebutadiene rubber (SBR), chloroprene rubber (CR), butyl rubber (IIR), isoprene rubber (IR), vulcanized ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR), polysulfide rubber, silicone rubber, fluoro-rubber, urethane rubber, acrylic rubber, ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA), nitrile rubber, and a mixture thereof, but the present invention is not limited thereto. According to an embodiment, the impregnation member <NUM> may be made of one or more fibers selected from the group consisting of a natural fiber, an artificial fiber, and a mixture thereof.

The impregnation member <NUM> may be formed in a convex shape in which an upper surface <NUM> and a lower surface <NUM> protrude in opposite directions, and the upper surface <NUM> and the lower surface <NUM> may constitute a mesh structure in which a plurality of discharge holes are formed to allow the impregnated cosmetic material to be discharged to the outside. Here, the discharge hole may have various shapes such as a circular shape and a polygonal shape. The mesh structure may be formed by weaving yarn or formed using foam or a sponge, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and various other configurations may be applied to form the discharge holes.

In consideration of the shape of the impregnation member <NUM>, the inner container <NUM> may have a lower surface that convexly protrudes downward so that the second accommodating portion has a shape that corresponds to the impregnation member <NUM>, and the outer container <NUM> may also have a lower surface that convexly protrudes downward so that the inner container <NUM> is accommodated in the first accommodating portion <NUM>.

Also, when the impregnation member <NUM> is accommodated in the second accommodating portion <NUM>, a circumferential portion of the impregnation member <NUM> may be pressed and supported by the coupling portion <NUM>, and the central portion of the convex shape of the impregnation member <NUM> may protrude upward and be exposed to a user when the inner cover <NUM> is opened.

The coupling portion <NUM> and the impregnation member <NUM> will be further described below with reference to <FIG>, <FIG>, and <FIG>.

Meanwhile, the shape of the cosmetic container <NUM> illustrated in <FIG> is only illustrative, and various other shapes may be applied according to an embodiment to which the present invention is applied.

<FIG> and <FIG> illustrate the coupling portion of the cosmetic container of <FIG>. More specifically, <FIG> illustrates a top perspective view of the coupling portion (<FIG>) and a bottom perspective view of the coupling portion (<FIG>), and <FIG> illustrates a cross-sectional view of the coupling portion.

Referring to <FIG> and <FIG>, the coupling portion <NUM> is configured in a ring shape, and a first fixing portion <NUM> and a second fixing portion <NUM> may be formed in the coupling portion <NUM> to press or support the impregnation member <NUM> accommodated in the second accommodating portion <NUM> of the inner container <NUM>.

The first fixing portion <NUM> is configured to extend downward from one side of the upper surface of the coupling portion <NUM> (for example, an inner side of the ring shape) toward an inner side of the second accommodating portion <NUM>, and a front end of the first fixing portion <NUM> may come into close contact with one area of the impregnation member <NUM> and may press and support the corresponding area. In one embodiment, the first fixing portion <NUM> may be formed so that at least a portion thereof is inclined toward the center of the second accommodating portion <NUM>. This is in consideration of the fact that the circumference of the upper surface of the impregnation member <NUM> according to the present invention is formed to be inclined. In this way, the first fixing portion <NUM> may support the impregnation member <NUM> more stably and may secure a space for formation of the second fixing portion <NUM>.

The second fixing portion <NUM> is formed to be spaced outward from the front end of the first fixing portion <NUM> and press (and/or support) an area of the upper surface of the impregnation member <NUM>, which is different from an area pressed and/or supported by the first fixing portion <NUM>, to fix the impregnation member <NUM>. Since the area pressed by the second fixing portion <NUM> is located closer to the edge of the impregnation member <NUM> than the area pressed by the first fixing portion <NUM>, the second fixing portion <NUM> may be configured to protrude more downward toward the inner side of the second accommodating portion <NUM> than the first fixing portion <NUM>.

The second fixing portion <NUM> may include one or more pressing protrusions <NUM>. For example, the pressing protrusions <NUM> may be disposed on a front end surface of the second fixing portion <NUM> so as to be spaced apart from each other along the circumference of the second accommodating portion <NUM>. The pressing protrusions <NUM> may press and/or pass through the upper surface of the impregnation member <NUM> to fix the impregnation member <NUM> and prevent the impregnation member <NUM> from moving or falling.

According to an embodiment, the coupling portion <NUM> may press and/or penetrate the impregnation member <NUM> in a state in which the coupling portion <NUM> is coupled to the inner container <NUM> or may press and/or penetrate the impregnation member <NUM> when the impregnation member <NUM> is separated from the inner container <NUM> so as to prevent the impregnation member <NUM> from falling.

A fourth edge portion <NUM> may be formed to extend downward from the other side of the upper surface of the coupling portion <NUM> (for example, an outer side of the ring shape). In one embodiment, the first edge portion <NUM> of the inner container <NUM> may be inserted and fitted into a separation space between the first fixing portion <NUM> and/or the second fixing portion <NUM> and the fourth edge portion <NUM> so that the coupling portion <NUM> is coupled to the inner container <NUM>.

<FIG> illustrates the impregnation member of the cosmetic container of <FIG>.

Referring to <FIG>, the impregnation member <NUM> may be formed to have edges <NUM> bonded to each other. The bonding may be performed in various ways according to an embodiment to which the present invention is applied. For example, the bonding may be performed using an adhesive material, external heat binding in which heat is applied from the outside, internal heat binding in which heat is generated from the inside, and the like. In this way, the impregnation member <NUM> according to the present invention may prevent leakage of a cosmetic material through the outer circumference thereof and contamination of the cosmetic container due to the leakage and may eliminate user inconvenience and the like.

In this way, due to the edges <NUM> being bonded to each other, the impregnation member <NUM> may have a convex shape in which the upper surface <NUM> and the lower surface <NUM> are opposite to each other with the bonded edges <NUM> disposed therebetween. Accordingly, the upper surface <NUM> of the impregnation member <NUM> may have at least a partial area that is inclined downward in a direction toward the edge <NUM>, and the lower surface <NUM> of the impregnation member <NUM> may have at least a partial area that is inclined upward in a direction toward the edge <NUM>. In particular, in the impregnation member <NUM>, an inner circumferential portion of the edge <NUM> may be formed to be inclined downward or upward in a direction toward the edge <NUM> as described above.

In the present invention, the first fixing portion <NUM> and the second fixing portion <NUM> of the coupling portion <NUM> is implemented to press an inclined inner circumferential portion of the edge <NUM> of the upper surface of the impregnation member <NUM> to fix the impregnation member <NUM>. Here, the coupling portion <NUM> is configured so that the second fixing portion <NUM>, which is disposed at an outer side, protrudes more downward toward the inner side of the second accommodating portion <NUM> than the first fixing portion <NUM>. In this way, the coupling portion <NUM> may effectively press the inclined circumferential portion to stably fix the impregnation member <NUM> to the inside of the second accommodating portion <NUM>.
