BACKGROUND ART

Makeup is for making a beautiful part of a body more beautiful, and for compensating for a weak point of the body. Women put on facial makeup to make their appearance more beautiful.

In particular, the women put on color makeup as well as base makeup for skin care and beauty, and a cosmetic compact is generally used for the color makeup.

In general, a compact container is configured such that a container body and a container lid are coupled to each other by a hinge, in which the container body has an inner container for containing a cosmetic material of a cosmetic product such as solid powder, a lip gloss, and an eye shadow, the container lid covers the cosmetic material on an upper portion of the inner container in order to prevent the cosmetic material contained in the inner container from being contaminated, and the container lid is provided therein with a mirror for convenience of the makeup.

As a related art for the compact container, as shown in FIG. 1, there is disclosed Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0171448, which is related to a compact container, and more specifically, to a compact in which a container body and a container lid are coupled to each other by a hinge, a fixing member is embedded in the container body, the fixing member is accommodated therein with a cosmetic material, and a button member is mounted between the container body and the fixing member.

The above related art discloses the compact enabling easy assembly of the compact container, in which the button member is fitted into the container body from an inner upper portion of the container body.

However, in the above related art, since the button member is simply fitted to an inner side the container body and covered with the fixing member so as to be assembled to the container body, the button member may be separated during a process of assembling the fixing member, resulting in a high defect rate and low productivity.

In addition, when the discharge plate 36 is directly pressed, the distribution plate 34 coupled to the discharge plate 36 is pressed and moves downward together with the discharge plate 36, and the up-down movement member 336 of the pump 33 coupled to the distribution plate 34 moves downward.

The piston 334 coupled to a lower side of the up-down movement member 336 moves downward together with the up-down movement member 336 by the downward movement of the up-down movement member 336. At this time, since the piston ring 335 makes close contact with the inner side surface of the cylinder 331, only the piston 334 moves downward to generate a gap between the piston 334 and the piston ring 335, thereby forming a discharge passage for the cosmetic material.

Thereafter, when the up-down movement member 336 is continuously pressed, the piston ring 335 makes contact with the up-down movement member 336 and moves downward together with the piston 334, so that a volume inside the cylinder 331 is reduced. Accordingly, the cosmetic material accommodated in the cylinder 331 flows out between the piston 334 and the piston ring 335, passes through the discharge passage 336d of the up-down movement member 336, passes through the content discharge path 342 of the distribution plate 34, and is discharged through the discharge hole 361 of the discharge plate 36.

At the same time, the suction valve plate 332 closes the content suction hole 338 formed in the bottom surface of the cylinder 331 by a discharge pressure in the cylinder 331.

Then, when the pressing of the pressing portion 351 of the ring button 35 or the discharge plate 36 is released, due to the elasticity of the elastic member 337 for elastically supporting the up-down movement member 336, the up-down movement member 336 moves upward, and the piston 334 coupled to the lower side of the up-down movement member 336 moves upward. At this time, as an expansion protrusion wheel 334a formed on an outer side of the lower end of the piston 334 pulls the piston ring 335 upward, the gap between the piston 334 and the piston ring 335 is blocked, and the piston 334 and the piston ring 335 move upward together, so that the volume inside the cylinder 331 is increased, resulting ingeneration of a vacuum pressure.

As a suction valve blade 332a of the suction valve plate 332 is lifted by the vacuum pressure generated inside the cylinder 331, the content suction hole 338 formed in the bottom surface of the cylinder 331 is opened, so that the cosmetic material accommodated in the inner container 31 is introduced into the cylinder 331 through the content suction hole 338 while the push plate 311 installed in the inner container 31 moves upward.

As described above, although the compact container having the button member enabling easy assembly according to one embodiment of the present invention has been described for illustrative purposes, the present invention is not limited thereto. It is understood that various changes and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as disclosed in the appended claims.

Claims

1. A compact container having a button member enabling easy assembly, the compact container comprising:

a container body (10) formed on a front side thereof with a button member mounting groove (11);
a container lid (20) hinge-coupled to one side of the container body (10) and opened and closed;
an inner container member (30) mounted on an inner side of the container body (10), and accommodated therein with a cosmetic material;
a button member (40) mounted in the button member mounting groove (11) of the container body (10); and
a fixing member (50) fixedly coupled to an inner periphery of the container body (10) to fix the inner container member (30) and the button member (40),
wherein the button member mounting groove (11) of the container body (10) has an open top, and a button member support (12) and a coupling protrusion (14) are formed on an inner side surface of the container body (10) while being adjacent to the button member mounting groove (11), and
a button member blade portion (42) having a coupling groove (44) extends from both sides of the button member (40), and the coupling groove (44) of the button member (40) is coupled with the coupling protrusion (14) of the container body (10).

2. The compact container of claim 1, wherein a guide groove (13) is formed inside the button member support (12) of the container body (10), and the button member blade portion (42) of the button member (40) is vertically fitted into the guide groove (13).

3. The compact container of claim 1, wherein the coupling groove (44) has a width wider than a width of the coupling protrusion (14) to allow the button member blade portion (42) to be more spread rightward and leftward when the button member (40) is pressed in a state that the coupling groove (44) of the button member (40) is coupled with the coupling protrusion (14) of the container body (10).

4. The compact container of claim 1, wherein an outer lower edge (46) of the button member blade portion (42) of the button member (40) has a round shape.

5. The compact container of claim 1, wherein the coupling protrusion (14) of the container body (10) has an inclined upper surface (142) and an angular lower surface (144).
