The present invention relates to a cosmetic container, and more particularly, to a powder-type cosmetic container that can be used to receive the powder-type cosmetics and to be discharged in the accommodated state.

The cosmetics mainly used by women are solid cosmetics, such as lotions, and liquid cosmetics, such as a lotion, which are used in the form of a powder. Among them, powder-type cosmetics are usually manufactured in a form in which the fine discharge holes are opened or closed according to the position where the lid is formed and the fine discharge holes are formed in a large number of fine discharge holes. Most commonly used. At this time, the cosmetics discharged through the discharge hole is buried in a sponge and applied to the skin or sprayed directly on the skin. In addition, the liquid cosmetics are usually accommodated in a case in which one discharge hole is formed, and the user tilts the case to use the liquid cosmetics.

Recently, in order to increase the convenience of use of such liquid or powdery cosmetics, a cosmetic container of a form in which a sponge is integrally formed with a cosmetic casing has been proposed. Such an integrated cosmetic container is manufactured in a form in which a sponge is coupled to a casing containing a liquid or powder type cosmetic, for example, to form a discharge hole in the casing so that the cosmetic is discharged into the sponge internal space through the discharge hole. The cosmetics are discharged little by little through the microcavity formed in the porous sponge, so that the user can directly apply the cosmetics to the skin by directly contacting the sponge with the gripping casing.

However, such a conventional sponge integrated cosmetic container has a disadvantage that the amount of cosmetics applied to the skin is not well controlled. That is, since the liquid or powder-type cosmetics in the casing can be discharged to the sponge inner space through the normally open discharge hole, the excess cosmetics that the user does not want can penetrate into the sponge. Therefore, when the user wears makeup, there is a fear that more than a desired amount of cosmetics are applied to the skin.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems described above, an object of the present invention is the amount of liquid or powder type cosmetics discharged through the sponge from the integral cosmetic container of the type combined with the casing containing the cosmetic sponge The adjustment is to be made easily.

The support member 80 is preferably made of a soft material.

The mesh 70 is interposed on the inner surface of the sponge 60. The mesh 70 serves to primarily resolve the agglomerated state of the powder P before the powder P penetrates into the sponge.

On the other hand, the cosmetic container according to the present invention includes an opening and closing member 50 is installed in the discharge hole 26 of the upper casing (20). The opening and closing member 50 is installed to close the discharge hole 26 (normally close), and when applied to the sponge 60 is deformed by the deformation of the sponge to function to open the discharge hole 26.

More specifically, the opening and closing member 50 is configured as the plate surface portion 51, the opening and closing portion 52, and the operating portion 53.

As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the plate surface portion 51 is formed with a plurality of through-holes 57 are formed on the circular flat plate as a whole wheel shape. The plate surface part 51 is arrange | positioned in the casing 30, and the edge part 55 of the plate surface part 51 is interposed between the lower casing 10 and the upper casing 20, and is fixed. Accordingly, the overall installation state of the opening and closing member 50 is fixed. The through hole 57 of the plate surface portion 51 functions to allow the powder P to pass through the plate surface portion 51.

The opening and closing portion 52 is formed to have a conical shape as a whole at the central portion of the plate surface portion 51 and is located in the discharge hole 26 of the upper casing 20. The opening and closing portion 52 is maintained in contact with the edge of the discharge hole 26 by the elastic force applied by the plate surface portion 51, and serves to maintain the discharge hole 26 in a closed state.

The operating part 53 is formed in the shape of a bar extending upward from the opening and closing part 52 and extends to the upper inner side surface of the sponge 60. Therefore, when an external force is applied to the upper surface of the sponge 60 and the sponge 60 is recessed and deformed downward, the operating part 53 moves downward, and thus the opening and closing part 52 resists the elastic force of the plate surface part 51. It moves to a state like FIG. 3 by moving. In this state, the discharge hole 26 of the upper casing 20 is opened, so that the inner space of the casing 30 and the inner space of the sponge 60 communicate with each other, so that the powder P in the casing 30 is freely available. It becomes possible to move to the sponge 60 side.

At this time, when the sponge 60 is knocked on the skin, the sponge 60 is pressed as shown in FIG. 3, so that the opening and closing member 50 opens the discharge hole 26, and thus the powder in the casing 30 is opened and closed. Through the through hole 57 of the member 50 and the discharge hole 26 of the upper casing 20 is introduced into the sponge 60 side, the powder P is permeated into the sponge 60. In addition, when the user does not tap on the skin, as shown in FIG. 2, the discharge hole 26 is kept closed by the opening / closing member 50 such that the powder P is no longer supplied to the sponge 60. Therefore, since the powder P is supplied to the sponge 60 only when the user applies the cosmetics, the powder 60 may be supplied to the sponge 60 by shaking the cosmetic container as usual, as the discharge hole is normally opened as in the prior art. P) is not oversupplied.

On the other hand, the upper casing 20 and the lower casing 10, which forms an accommodation space for accommodating the powder P, are not simply coupled as they are simply screwed as in the prior art, but the flexible opening and closing member 50 therebetween. ) Edges 55 are interposed. Therefore, the airtightness of the inner space of the casing 30 is maintained more firmly due to the presence of the edge 55.

As the airtightness of the inner space of the casing 30 is maintained, the powder P does not leak to the outside or external air and moisture do not occur in the casing 30. Therefore, there is an effect that deformation or solidification of the powder P inside the casing 30 is prevented. At this time, the gasket function is configured as the edge portion 55 of the opening and closing member 50, it is possible to implement a cosmetic container of a simple structure that can obtain various effects as one member. In addition, as the airtightness of the inner space of the casing 30 is maintained, when the sponge 60 is pressurized as shown in FIG. 3, the inner space of the casing 30 is relatively pressed, so that the powder P may be in the direction of the arrow of FIG. 3. Likewise, the effect of supplying the sponge 60 more naturally can also be obtained.
