lifting unit 300, the one-touch cap 400, and the valve member
500.
[0023] The tube body 100, holding the contents, comprises a soft
tube, wherein the contents contained in the tube body 100 are
discharged out by user's pressing the tube body.
[0024] The said tube neck 200 is connected to the said tube body,
supports the tube body, and forms the discharging unit 210 wherein
the contents filled in the tube body 100 flow out.
[0025] In the present invention, the said tube neck 200 extends
into the lower inside of the discharging unit 210, then makes
protrusion upwards, and forms the supporting unit 220 that holds
the lifting unit 300, which will be described in the following. The
said supporting unit 220 limits the downward movement of the
lifting unit 300 when the lifting unit descends after ascending by
the pressure of the contents.
[0026] The said lifting unit 300, which is located inside of the
said discharging unit 210 and has a structure in which the lifting
unit ascends by the pressure of the flowing contents when the tube
body 100 is pressed and then descends by the pressure of the
pressurized protrusion 421 that is formed on the cover member 420,
comprises the contents movement tube 310 and the securing part
320.
[0027] The said contents movement tube 310, which forms a passage
where the contents that are contained in the tube body 100 moves,
comprises the contents inflow hole 311 formed on the lower part
where the contents flows in through the discharging unit 210, and
the contents outflow hole 312 formed on the upper part where the
contents flows out through the discharging unit 210.
[0028] In the said contents movement pipe 310, a fixing projection
313 is engaged with a supporting bar 520 of the valve member 500,
separated with regular distance and protruded from the inner wall
of the said contents movement tube 310, and limits the movement of
the valve member 500. It is preferred that, on the fixing

where a protrusion 521 of the valve member 500 is met and limits
the upward movement of the valve member 500.
[0029] The bottom of the said contents movement pipe 310 is
inserted and ascends/descends inside the said supporting unit 220.
It is preferred that the diameter of the bottom should be wider and
be touched closely to the inner wall of the supporting unit 220 in
order to prevent the contents, which is supposed to move through
the supporting unit 220, from moving out of the contents movement
pipe 310.
[0030] The said securing part 320 has features wherein the securing
part 320 stretches inside, encircling the said contents movement
pipe 310; thus when the lifting unit 300 ascends, the top part
touches the protrusion of rise limit 413 of the cap body 410 and
limits the rising range of the lifting unit 300, and when the
lifting unit 300 descends, the bottom part reaches safely on the
supporting unit 220 and limits the descending range of the lifting
unit 300.
[0031] The said one-touch cap 400, which encircles and is connected

on the top of the cap body 410 becomes deeper towards the middle
where the discharging hole 411 is formed.
[0033] On the top of the said cap body 410 is formed the
dish-shaped depression 412, so that it is possible to discharge the
contents into the dish-shaped depression 412 instead of the back of
one's hand or the palm; therefore, even when the contents are used
up and the tube body 100 is compressed by two hands, the contents
can be discharged through the dish-shaped depression 412 and used
by a user with ease.
[0034] On the other hand, encircling the upper area of the said cap
body 410, the protrusion of rise limit 413 is formed with downward
protrusion; the said protrusion of rise limit presses the upper end
of the securing part of the lifting unit 300, and limits the rising
of the lifting unit 300 when the lifting unit 300 ascends by the
pressure when the contents are discharged.
[0035] The said cover member 420 is engaged with a hinged joint
with the said cap body 410 and opens/closes the discharging hole
411, and this invention has features wherein the said cover member
420 is equipped with the pressurized protrusion 421, which presses
the valve member 500, in the inner middle where the said
discharging hole 411 and the pressured protrusion are
contacted.
[0036] The said pressured protrusion 421, by pressing the valve
member 500, not only prevents the contents from being spilled to
the outside through the said discharging hole 411 but seals the
discharging hole 411 because of being faced with the inner
circumferential surface of the discharging hole 411.
[0037] The said valve member comprising the opening/closing tube
510 and the supporting bar 520 is engaged with the lifting unit,
covering its top, and opens/closes the discharging hole 411 by the
pressure of the contents when the tube body 100 is pressed.
[0038] The said opening/closing tube 510 is secured on the top of
the said contents movement pipe 310 and opens/closes the contents
outflow hole 312 and the discharging hole 411; in this present
invention, the said opening/closing tube 510 is formed to make the
ends folded and the contents discharged by the pressure of the
contents which is discharged through the discharging hole 411, with
the ends folded; for better operation, it is preferred that the
said opening/closing tube 510 should be made of elastic rubber.
[0039] The said opening/closing tube 510 is folded and returns to
its original state, and can prevent the contents discharged onto
the dish-shaped depression 412 from being suctioned back again.
[0040] The said supporting bar 520 is engaged with the bottom
center of the said opening/closing tube 510 and the center where
the fixing projection 313 of the contents movement pipe 310 is
formed, supporting the opening/closing tube 510; in the present
invention, on the bottom of the support bar 520 is formed the
protrusion 521 at the place where the fixing projection 313 and the
fixing protrusion 314 are contacted, and fixes the valve member
with the said fixing protrusion 314, preventing the valve member
500 from being detached.
[0041] In the followings, referring FIG. 3 there are explanations
of the using state of the tubular cosmetics container according to
another preferred embodiment of the present invention.
[0042] Referring FIG. 3, the tubular cosmetics container according
to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, with the first
cover member 420 closed, the pressurized protrusion 421 of the
cover member 420 presses the valve member 500 and closes the
discharging hole 411, and at this moment the securing part 320 of
the lifting unit 300 is located, securing on the supporting unit
220.
[0043] Next, when the cover member 420 is opened with uniaxial
joint at the one side, the discharging hole 411 of the valve member
500 remains closed; in turn, when the tube body 100 is pressed, the
lifting unit which is secured on the support part ascends; then, at
the moment when the top part of the securing part 320 contacts the
protrusion of rise limit 413, the opening/closing tube 510 of the
valve member 500 is reversed upwards by the pressure of the
contents, and the contents is discharged in the dish-shaped
depression 412 of the cap body 410.
[0044] On the other hand, when the pressure to the tube body 100 is
released, the inside of the tube body 100 has a vacuum state and
make the lifting unit 300 kept rising; then, when the cover member
420 is closed, the lifting unit 300 moves downwards by the pressure
of the pressurized protrusion 421.
[0045] In the following, referring to from FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, there
are explanations of the tubular cosmetics container according to
another preferred embodiment of the present invention.
[0046] FIG. 4 is a disassembled perspective view illustrating the
tubular cosmetics container according to another preferred
embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 5 is a cross sectional
view illustrating the tubular cosmetics container according to
another preferred embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 6 is a
using state illustrating the tubular cosmetics container according
to another embodiment of the present invention
[0047] Referring to from FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, the tubular cosmetics
container according to another preferred embodiment of the present
invention is characterized in that, replacing the supporting unit
220 that is above-mentioned in the preferred embodiment, the
support body 600, which supports the lifting unit 300, is connected
with the discharging unit 210 of the tube neck 200.
[0048] The said support body 600 is engaged with the said
discharging unit 210, while forming a hollow space in order that
the contents is discharged and the lower part of the said the
contents movement pipe 310 is inserted, and comprises the elastic
body insertion part 610 wherein the elastic body 620 is equipped;
the said elastic body, which supports the end of the securing part
320 of the said lifting unit 300, is contracted by the pressure of
the securing part 320 when the cover member 420 is closed, and
relaxed when the cover member 420 is opened, conveying the
elasticity to the securing part 320 and, as a result, lifting the
lifting unit 300.
[0049] At this point, when the cover member 420 is closed, the said
lifting unit 300 is secured on the top of the elastic body
insertion part 610 and its downward movement is limited, while the
upward movement is limited by the protrusion of rise limit 413 of
the cap body 410 when rising by the elasticity of the elastic body
620 as the cover member 420 is opened.
[0050] In the following, referring to FIG. 6, there are
explanations of using state of the tubular cosmetics container
according to another preferred embodiment of the present
invention.
[0051] Referring to FIG. 6, the tubular cosmetics container,
according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention,
when the first cover member is closed, the pressurized protrusion
421 of the cover member 420 presses the valve member and closes,
and at that moment the securing part 320 of the lifting unit 300 is
placed securely on the elastic body insertion part 610.
[0052] Next, when the cover member 420 is opened with uniaxial
joint at the one side, the lifting unit 300 rises by the elasticity
of the elastic body 620, by which the valve member 500 connected
with the lifting unit 300 also rises and comes to be located
parallel with the dish-shaped depression 412, still keeping the
discharging hole closed; at this moment, when the tube body 100 is
pressed, as the opening/closing tube 510 of the valve member 500 is
inverted upwards, the contents is discharged onto the dish-shaped
depression 412 of the cap body 410.
[0053] As the present invention may be embodied in several forms
without departing from the spirit of essential characteristics
thereof, it should also be understood that the above-described
examples are not limited by any of the details of the foregoing
description, unless otherwise specified, but rather should be
construed broadly with its spirit and scope as defined in the
