Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a cosmetic container, and more particularly, to a cosmetic container capable of controlling, according to rotation of the container, the extent to which a cosmetic material is exposed in a state when the cosmetic material is fixed.

BACKGROUND ART

Generally, lipsticks allow a stick-shaped cosmetic material, such as rouge used by women to add color to lips, to slide in and out of a cylindrical container so that the stick-shaped cosmetic material is taken out of the container for use and is put into the container and stored therein so as not to be exposed to the outside after use.

Conventionally, a cap of a lipstick is removed, and then a rotary body disposed at a lower portion of the container is rotated so that a solid stick-shaped cosmetic material slides up toward the outside of the container or slides down toward the inside of the container. For example, when the lipstick is to be used, first, the cap of the container is removed, and then the rotary body is rotated in one direction so that the stick-shaped cosmetic material slides up and protrudes to the outside, and after use, the rotary body is rotated in the other direction so that the stick-shaped cosmetic material slides down and is accommodated in the container.

According to such a configuration, since the stick-shaped cosmetic material itself should slide up and down, there is a problem in that, during the movement process, the stick-shaped cosmetic material may come in contact with the outside or other components in the container and cause stains or cause damage to the lipstick.

In particular, when the rotary body of the container is rotated, the stick-shaped cosmetic material rotates and slides up or down. In this case, since the stick-shaped cosmetic material receives a rotational load, the stick-shaped cosmetic material may come in contact with components surrounding the stick-shaped cosmetic material and be damaged.

Also, the stick-shaped cosmetic material generally has an inclined surface formed at an upper end portion to facilitate application thereof. When a direction that the inclined surface faces changes due to rotation of the stick-shaped cosmetic material, aesthetics may be negatively affected. Additionally, there is an inconvenience in that the inclined surface should be re-aligned to face a user after the stick-shaped cosmetic material is exposed to the outside.

Therefore, there is a need for a cosmetic container which can address the above-mentioned problems.

DISCLOSURE Technical Problem

The present invention is directed to providing a cosmetic container capable of controlling, according to rotation of the container, the extent to which a cosmetic material is exposed when the cosmetic material is fixed.

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.

Technical Solution

An embodiment of the present invention provides a cosmetic container. The cosmetic container includes a cosmetic material holder in which a cosmetic material is mounted, a rotary body to which a rotational force is applied from a user, an ascending/descending member configured to ascend or descend due to rotation of the rotary body to control exposure of the cosmetic material, an ascending/descending guide member to which the rotary body is rotatably coupled and which is configured to, during the rotation of the rotary body, prevent rotation of the ascending/descending member and guide vertical movement of the ascending/descending member, and a holder guide member which has a lower end disposed inside the rotary body and an upper end coupled to the cosmetic material holder and which is configured to support the cosmetic material holder, wherein the holder guide member is disposed to be independent of the rotation of the rotary body and prevents rotation of the cosmetic material holder and the cosmetic material during the rotation of the rotary body.

The cosmetic material may be a lipstick cosmetic material having an inclined surface formed at an upper end portion, and an inclined surface that corresponds to the inclined surface of the lipstick cosmetic material may be formed at an opening hole of an upper end portion of the ascending/descending member.

During the rotation of the rotary body, the ascending/descending guide member may prevent the rotation of the ascending/descending member, and the ascending/descending member may prevent rotation of the holder guide member.

Screw threads that correspond to each other may be formed on an inner circumferential surface of the rotary body and an outer circumferential surface of the ascending/descending member and may be screw-coupled to each other.

The ascending/descending member may include a guide tube into which the holder guide member is inserted and which has a second screw thread formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof, and a cosmetic material accommodating tube formed to extend upward from the guide tube and configured to accommodate the cosmetic material.

The ascending/descending guide member may include a non-circular through-hole into which the ascending/descending member is inserted to ascend and descend, and the guide tube may be formed to correspond to the through-hole so that rotation of the guide tube with respect to the ascending/descending guide member is prevented.

The holder guide member may include a support part disposed at a bottom surface inside the rotary body and an extension formed to extend in a longitudinal direction of the cosmetic container and coupled to the cosmetic material holder.

The ascending/descending member may include a non-circular through-hole into which the extension of the holder guide member is inserted, and the extension may be formed to correspond to the through-hole so that rotation of the ascending/descending member with respect to the holder guide member is prevented.

A coupling part detachably coupled to the cosmetic material holder may be formed at an end portion of the extension of the holder guide member, at least one protrusion may be formed on an outer side surface of the coupling part in the longitudinal direction of the cosmetic container, and a groove that corresponds to the protrusion may be formed at an inner side of an end portion of the cosmetic material holder, to which the coupling part is coupled, so that the rotation of the cosmetic material holder is prevented.

The rotary body may include an outer container to which the rotational force is applied from the user and which has an accommodating space formed therein and include an inner container which is disposed inside the outer container, is configured to receive the rotational force from the outer container and rotate together with the outer container, and has a screw thread formed on an inner circumferential surface.

At least one groove may be formed at an inner side surface of the outer container in the longitudinal direction of the cosmetic container, and a protrusion that corresponds to the groove may be formed on an outer side surface of the inner container so that the outer container and the inner container rotate together.

A support part of the holder guide member may be disposed to be pressed against a bottom surface inside the outer container, and when the inner container is coupled to the inside of the outer container, a lower end portion of the inner container may press the support part and prevent detachment of the holder guide member.

The cosmetic container may further include a cover part configured to surround the cosmetic material and detachably coupled to the rotary body.

Advantageous Effects

According to the present invention, an ascending/descending member that surrounds a cosmetic material in a direction in which a rotary body rotates can ascend or descend to control the extent to which the cosmetic material is exposed. That is, the cosmetic material can be stored and used when the position of the cosmetic material is fixed, and it prevents errors in use, such as damage to the cosmetic material caused by rotation or movement of the cosmetic material.

Also, according to the present invention, since the residual amount of cosmetic material can be intuitively recognized based on a height of a cosmetic material accommodating tube, it is convenient for users.

Also, according to the present invention, during rotation of the rotary body, other components of the cosmetic container (e.g., the ascending/descending member, a cosmetic material holder, a holder guide member, etc.) are prevented from interlocking with the rotation of the rotary body. Thus, the cosmetic material can be disposed in the container more stably.

Also, according to the present invention, since neither the cosmetic material nor an ascending/descending guide member rotates even when the rotary body rotates, inclined surfaces formed at end portions of the cosmetic material and the ascending/descending guide member correspond to each other and this state can be maintained.

Here, FIG. 4A illustrates the front of the outer container, FIB. 4B illustrates a cross-section of the outer container, FIG. 5A illustrates the front of the inner container, FIG. 5B illustrates a cross-section of the inner container, FIG. 6A illustrates a cosmetic material holder, FIG. 6B illustrates an ascending/descending member, FIG. 6C illustrates an ascending/descending guide member, and FIG. 6D illustrates a holder guide member.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, a cosmetic container may include a cosmetic material holder 100, a rotary body 200, an ascending/descending member 300, an ascending/descending guide member 400, a holder guide member 500, and a cover part 600.

The cosmetic material holder 100 allows a cosmetic material C to be mounted and stably supported in the cosmetic container. The cosmetic material C may be stably mounted in an upper side of the cosmetic material holder 100, and a lower side of the cosmetic material holder 100 may be coupled to the holder guide member 500.

Specifically, an accommodating space 110 in which the cosmetic material C may be mounted may be formed at the upper side of the cosmetic material holder 100, and a coupling part 120 may be formed at the lower side of the cosmetic material holder 100 to allow coupling with the holder guide member 500. At least one groove may be formed at an inner side of the coupling part 120 in a longitudinal direction of the cosmetic container, and at least one protrusion that corresponds to the groove of the coupling part 120 may be formed on an upper end portion of the holder guide member 500 coupled to the cosmetic material holder 100. Thus, rotation of the cosmetic material holder 100 with respect to the holder guide member 500 may be prevented. In this way, even during rotation of the rotary body 200, the cosmetic material holder 100 may maintain the position and arrangement of the cosmetic material C without rotating together with the holder guide member 500.

The cosmetic material C is a solid or semisolid cosmetic material C that is applied to a user's skin. For example, the cosmetic material C may be a lipstick cosmetic material (or a stick-shaped cosmetic material). An inclined surface may be formed at an upper end portion of the cosmetic material C to allow the cosmetic material C to be easily and effectively applied to the skin. Here, an inclined surface that corresponds to the inclined surface of the cosmetic material C may be formed at an upper end portion (particularly, an opening hole of the upper end portion) of the ascending/descending member 300. Since the ascending/descending member 300 ascends or descends without rotating due to rotation of the rotary body 200, the ascending/descending member 300 may control the exposure of the cosmetic material C while ascending or descending in a state in which the inclined surfaces of the cosmetic material C and the ascending/descending member maintain angles that correspond to each other.

The rotary body 200 may receive a rotational force from the user and rotate with respect to the ascending/descending guide member 400 to allow the ascending/descending member 300 to ascend or descend. Also, the holder guide member 500 may be accommodated inside the rotary body 200 and seated on a bottom surface therein to stably support the cosmetic material holder 100.

Specifically, the rotary body 200 may include an outer container 210 and an inner container 220. The outer container 210 may receive the rotational force from the user and have an accommodating space formed therein. The inner container 220 may be disposed inside the outer container 210, receive the rotational force from the outer container 210, and rotate together with the outer container 210.

To this end, at least one groove 221 may be formed at an outer side surface of the inner container 220 in the longitudinal direction of the cosmetic container, a protrusion 211 that corresponds to the groove 221 may be formed on an inner side surface of the outer container 210, and the groove 221 and the protrusion 211 may rotationally interlock with each other.

A coupling groove 212 may be formed along a circumference of an inner circumferential surface of the outer container 210 in order to prevent detachment of the inner container 220 seated inside the outer container 210, and a coupling protrusion 222 that corresponds to the coupling groove 212 may be formed along a circumference of an outer circumferential surface of the inner container 220. Also, the holder guide member 500 is disposed at a bottom surface of the rotary body 200, that is, a bottom surface of the outer container 210. Due to the coupling between the outer container 210 and the inner container 220, the inner container 220 may press the holder guide member 500 seated on the bottom surface of the outer container 210 and prevent detachment or movement of the holder guide member 500.

A first screw thread 223 may be formed on at least a portion of an inner circumferential surface of the inner container 220, and a second screw thread 311 that corresponds to the first screw thread 223 may be formed on at least a portion of an outer circumferential surface of the ascending/descending member 300. Through screw-coupling between the inner circumferential surface of the inner container 220 and the outer circumferential surface of the ascending/descending member 300, the ascending/descending member 300 may ascend or descend during rotation of the inner container 220.

The rotary body 200 may be coupled to be rotatable with respect to the ascending/descending guide member 400, and to this end, a coupling protrusion 213 that is coupled to a coupling groove 410 of the ascending/descending guide member 400 may be formed at an inner side of the outer container 210. Here, the inner container 220 may have a shorter length than the outer container 210, and thus, the ascending/descending guide member 400 may be supported and seated by an upper end portion of the inner container 220 inside the outer container 210.

The above description relating to the rotary body 200 is illustrative, and various other configurations may be applied to the rotary body 200 according to embodiments to which the present invention is applied. For example, the outer container 210 and the inner container 220 of the rotary body 200 may be integrally formed.

The ascending/descending member 300 controls the exposure of the cosmetic material C while ascending or descending due to rotation of the rotary body 200. The ascending/descending member 300 may include a guide tube 310 and a cosmetic material accommodating tube 320.

The guide tube 310 has a tubular shape in which an inner space is formed so that the holder guide member 500 is inserted into the inner space. The second screw thread 311 may be formed on an outer circumferential surface at a lower side of the guide tube 310 so as to be screw-coupled to the first screw thread 223 formed on the inner circumferential surface of the inner container 220 of the rotary body 200. The ascending/descending member 300 may ascend or descend through screw-coupling between the first screw thread 223 and the second screw thread 311.

In order to prevent rotation of the ascending/descending member 300 and allow vertical movement thereof during rotation of the rotary body 200, a through-hole 420 of the ascending/descending guide member 400 may be formed in a non-circular shape, and the guide tube 310 (particularly, an outer cross-section of the guide tube 310) of the ascending/descending member 300 that is inserted into the through-hole 420 of the ascending/descending guide member 400 may also be formed in a non-circular shape to correspond to the shape of the through-hole 420. That is, even when the rotary body 200 rotates, the ascending/descending member 300 does not rotate because the ascending/descending guide member 400 does not rotate, and thus, the screw-coupling between the rotary body 200 and the ascending/descending member 300 may allow the ascending/descending member 300 to ascend or descend.

Also, a through-hole 312 into which an extension 520 of the holder guide member 500 is inserted may be formed in a non-circular shape at a lower end of the guide tube 310. Here, the extension 520 (particularly, an outer cross-section of the extension 520) of the holder guide member 500 that is inserted into the through-hole 312 may also be formed in a non-circular shape to correspond to the shape of the through-hole 312. According thereto, even during rotation of the rotary body 200, the ascending/descending member 300 may allow the holder guide member 500 to be fixed without rotating.

The cosmetic material accommodating tube 320 may be formed to extend upward from the guide tube 310 and accommodate the cosmetic material C and the cosmetic material holder 100 therein. The extent to which the cosmetic material C is exposed may be controlled by vertical movement of the cosmetic material accommodating tube 320. Specifically, when the rotary body 200 rotates toward one side and the guide tube 310 descends, the cosmetic material accommodating tube 320 may cause the cosmetic material C to be exposed to the outside, and conversely, when the rotary body 200 rotates toward the other side and the guide tube 310 ascends, the cosmetic material accommodating tube 320 may surround and accommodate the cosmetic material C and reduce the exposure of the cosmetic material C.

A limiting stepped part 330 that comes in contact with a lower end of the cosmetic material holder 100 and limits the ascending of the ascending/descending member 300 in the process in which the ascending/descending member 300 ascends may be formed at an inner side of the ascending/descending member 300.

The ascending/descending guide member 400 may be coupled to be rotatable with respect to the rotary body 200, and the ascending/descending guide member 400 may serve as the center of rotation of the rotary body 200 in a state in which the ascending/descending guide member 400 is gripped by a user. Specifically, the ascending/descending guide member 400 is seated at an inner side of the rotary body 200 (that is, the upper end portion of the inner container 220), and the coupling groove 410 coupled to the coupling protrusion 213 at the inner circumferential surface of the rotary body 200 (particularly, the outer container 210) is formed at an outer circumferential surface of the ascending/descending guide member 400, and in this way, the ascending/descending guide member 400 may be coupled to be rotatable with respect to the rotary body 200.

During rotation of the rotary body 200, the ascending/descending guide member 400 may prevent rotation of the ascending/descending member 300 and guide vertical movement of the ascending/descending member 300. To this end, the through-hole 420 into which the ascending/descending member 300 is inserted to ascend and descend may be formed in a non-circular shape in the ascending/descending guide member 400, and the guide tube 310 (particularly, the cross-section of the guide tube 310) may also be formed in a non-circular shape to correspond to the shape of the through-hole 420.

That is, even when the rotary body 200 rotates, the ascending/descending guide member 400 that serves as the center of rotation and is fixed may prevent rotation of the ascending/descending member 300 and thus allow the ascending/descending member 300 to ascend or descend due to rotation of the rotary body 200.

A lower side of the holder guide member 500 is accommodated in the rotary body 200, and an upper side of the holder guide member 500 is coupled to the cosmetic material holder 100. In this way, the holder guide member 500 may support the cosmetic material C in the cosmetic container and allow the state in which the cosmetic material C is fixed to be maintained at all times without a change in the position or arrangement of the cosmetic material C.

Specifically, the holder guide member 500 may include a support part 510 disposed at the bottom surface inside the rotary body 200 (particularly, the outer container 210) and the extension 520 formed to extend from the support part 510 in the longitudinal direction of the cosmetic container and fixed and coupled to the cosmetic material holder 100.

The support part 510 may be disposed at the bottom surface inside the rotary body 200 and stably support the holder guide member 500 in the rotary body 200. Particularly, the support part 510 may be disposed to be independent of rotation of the rotary body 200 and, during the rotation of the rotary body 200, prevent rotation of the holder guide member 500, the cosmetic material holder 100 connected thereto, and the solid cosmetic material C.

The support part 510 may be implemented in the shape of a flat plate that corresponds to the shape of the bottom surface of the outer container 210 of the rotary body 200, and when the flat plate-shaped support part 510 is disposed in the outer container 210 of the rotary body 200, the inner container 220 of the rotary body 200 may be coupled to the outer container 210, and the lower end portion of the inner container 220 may press the support part 510 so that detachment or movement of the holder guide member 500 is prevented.

The extension 520 may be formed to extend from the support part 510 to the cosmetic material holder 100 and may be inserted into the ascending/descending member 300. A coupling part 530 detachably coupled to the cosmetic material holder 100 may be formed at an end portion of the extension 520. At least one protrusion may be formed at an outer side surface of the coupling part 530 in the longitudinal direction of the cosmetic container so as to correspond to the groove of the coupling part 120 of the cosmetic material holder 100 and may be coupled thereto. In this way, rotation of the cosmetic material holder 100 with respect to the holder guide member 500 may be prevented.

Also, the extension 520 may be formed to have a non-circular cross-section. This is to correspond to the shape of the through-hole 312 of the guide tube 310 of the ascending/descending member 300 into which the extension 520 is inserted. In this way, rotation of the holder guide member 500 with respect to the ascending/descending member 300 may be prevented. Therefore, even during rotation of the rotary body 200, the ascending/descending member 300 may allow the holder guide member 500 to be fixed without rotating.

The cover part 600 may surround the solid cosmetic material C and at least a portion of the ascending/descending member 300 (particularly, the cosmetic material accommodating tube 320) and may be detachably coupled to the rotary body 200. By closing an open upper end of the cosmetic material accommodating tube 320, the cover part 600 may prevent contamination of the cosmetic material C such as a case where the cosmetic material C is contaminated with foreign matter.

In relation to FIGS. 1 to 6, the non-circular through-holes have been mentioned as configurations for preventing rotation, but according to embodiments, other configurations for preventing rotation, e.g., coupling between a protrusion and a groove formed in the longitudinal direction of the cosmetic container, may also be applied.

FIG. 7 illustrates an operation of the cosmetic container according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 illustrates a cross-sectional view of the cosmetic container illustrated in FIG. 7.

Referring to FIG. 7, in a state in which the cosmetic material C is covered by and accommodated in the cosmetic material accommodating tube 320 of the ascending/descending member 300, when the ascending/descending guide member 400 is gripped with one hand and then the rotary body 200 (particularly, the outer container 210 of the rotary body 200) is rotated in one direction, the guide tube 310 may descend due to the screw-coupling between the first screw thread 223 of the inner container 220 of the rotary body 200 and the second screw thread 311 of the guide tube 310 of the ascending/descending member 300. Consequently, the cosmetic material accommodating tube 320 integrally formed with an upper portion of the guide tube 310 may descend together with the guide tube 310, and the cosmetic material C may be exposed to the outside.

Likewise, when the ascending/descending guide member 400 is gripped with one hand and then the rotary body 200 (particularly, the outer container 210 of the rotary body 200) is rotated in the other direction, the guide tube 310 may ascend due to the screw-coupling between the first screw thread 223 of the inner container 220 of the rotary body 200 and the second screw thread 311 of the guide tube 310 of the ascending/descending member 300. Consequently, the cosmetic material accommodating tube 320 integrally formed with the upper portion of the guide tube 310 may ascend together with the guide tube 310 and thus accommodate the cosmetic material C and reduce the exposure of the cosmetic material C.

Here, the guide tube 310 may be formed in the shape that corresponds to the non-circular through-hole 420 of the ascending/descending guide member 400, and the ascending/descending guide member 400 may prevent rotation of the guide tube 310, and thus vertical movement of the guide tube 310 may be possible.

Also, since the holder guide member 500 is disposed at the bottom surface inside the rotary body 200 (particularly, the outer container 210 of the rotary body 200) so as to be independent of the rotation of the rotary body 200, and simultaneously, the extension 520 of the holder guide member 500 is formed in the shape that corresponds to the non-circular through-hole 312 of the guide tube 310 of the ascending/descending member 300, the ascending/descending member 300 may prevent rotation of the holder guide member 500. That is, the holder guide member 500 may not rotate despite the rotation of the rotary body 200. Also, the holder guide member 500 may prevent rotation of the cosmetic material holder 100 with respect to the holder guide member 500.

In this way, only the rotary body 200 may rotate in the cosmetic container, and the remaining components (e.g., the ascending/descending member 300, the cosmetic material holder 100, the holder guide member 500, and the like) may not interlock with the rotation of the rotary body 200. Therefore, the cosmetic material C may be fixed and more stably disposed in the cosmetic container, and as illustrated, the inclined surfaces formed at the end portions of the cosmetic material C and the ascending/descending guide member 400 so as to correspond to each other may be prevented from being misaligned.

Exemplary embodiments have been disclosed herein and in the drawings. Although specific terms have been used herein, the terms are only used for the purpose of describing the present invention and are not intended to limit meanings or limit the scope of the present invention described in the claims below. Therefore, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that various modifications and other equivalent embodiments are possible.
