[0040] Furthermore, at inner circumferential surfaces of the first
coupling part 410 and the second coupling part 420 are provided
screw threads which are screw-coupled with the first and the second
discharging part 110, 210 such that the first and second storage
containers 100, 200 can be attached/detached.
[0041] Meanwhile, it is characterized that a fixing part 430 which
fixes an application member 600 to be described later is provided
at the cap 400, wherein the fixing part 430 forms a hollow for a
support 610 of the application member 600 to penetrate and extends

comprising a fixing protrusion 431 which is coupled with a fixing
groove 611 of the support 610 so as to fix the support 610 of the
application member 600 penetrated and installed therein.
[0042] The ascending/descending member 500, which is coupled,
encasing the cap 400 and ascends/descends with the cap 400 along
the longitudinal direction of the container body 300, includes a
movement button 510 and a guide protrusion 520.
[0043] The movement button 510 is protrusively formed from a front
side of the ascending/descending member 500 such that a user can
manipulate ascending/descending movement, and exposed to the
outside through the incision part 310. Therefore, the first storage
container 100 or the second storage container 200 can be withdrawn
from the container body 300 according to a user's manipulation of
ascending/descending, and thereby it is possible to selectively use
either the first contents or the second contents respectively
stored in the first and the second storage container 100, 200.
[0044] The guide protrusion 520, formed protrusively from a
backside portion of the ascending/descending member 500 and
inserted to the guide groove 320, is configured to move along the
guide groove 320 according to an ascending/descending manipulation
of the movement button 510, wherein the guide protrusion 520,
supported by a supporting protrusion 321 disposed at the central
portion of the guide groove 320 in a normal state, prevents a free
fall of the ascending/descending member 500 in a state that a user
does not manipulate, and is secured to a securing groove 322 in a
state that the ascending/descending member 500 completes ascending
or descending, thereby preventing the ascending/descending member
500 from moving by the pressure therein when applying a first and a
second contents onto a skin by means of a first and a second
application tips 620, 630.
[0045] The application member 600, inserted into the first storage
container 100 and the second storage container 200 and applying the
first and second contents onto skin, comprises a support 610 which
penetrates a hollow formed at a fixing part 430 of the cap 400 and
is inserted into the first storage container 100 and the second
storage container 200, and a first and a second application tips
620, 630 which are respectively coupled to both ends of the support
610 and absorb the first and the second contents, further
comprising a fixing groove 611 which is coupled to the fixing
protrusion 431 at an outer circumferential surface of the support
610 so as to be fixed to the fixing part 430.
[0046] The application member 600, fixed to the fixing part 430,
causes a first application tip 620 to be withdrawn from a first
storage container 100 for using the first contents when the first
storage container 100 is separated from the cap, and causes a
second application tip 630 to be withdrawn from the second storage
container 200 for using the second contents when the second storage
container 200 is separated from the cap 400.
[0047] Hereafter, a method of using a container for storing
heterogeneous contents according to an exemplary embodiment will be
described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 6.
[0048] Referring to FIGS. 4 and 6, firstly, normally when gripping
a movement button 510 and moving a guide protrusion 520 to a
downward direction in a state that the guide protrusion 520 is
secured at a supporting protrusion 321, the guide protrusion 520 of
the ascending/descending member 500 moves along a guide groove 320
and thereby the ascending/descending member 500 descends. Due to
this, a cap coupled to an inner side of the ascending/descending
member 500 and a first and a second storage containers 100, 200
coupled to an upper and lower portions of the cap 400 descend
together, thereby causing the first storage container 100 to be
withdrawn to a lower portion of the container body 300.
[0049] As in the above, when the first storage container 100 is
withdrawn to a lower portion of the container body 300, a user
rotates the first storage container 100 and releases a
screw-combination of the first storage container 100 and a first
coupling part 410 of the cap 400, and then withdraws a first
application tip 620 from the first storage container 100 for lip
makeup in a state of gripping the container body 300.
[0050] As in the above, when a user applies lip makeup through the
first application tip 620, the guide protrusion 520 is secured at a
securing groove 322 and thereby prevents the ascending/descending
member 500 from moving by the pressure caused when the first
application tip 620 touches lips.
[0051] Meanwhile, to use the second contents stored in a second
storage container 200, a user places the second storage container
200 in an upright position by turning the container body 300 down,
and then can use the second contents by through the procedure
described in the above.
[0052] The presently described embodiments are configured to
accommodate the first storage container 100 and the second storage
container 200 for being withdrawn from the container body 300
according to a manipulation of ascending/descending of the movement
button 510, such that it is possible for a user to use the first
contents or the second contents depending on her own choice.
[0053] As described above, optimal embodiments have been disclosed
in the drawings and the specification. Although specific terms have
been used herein, these are only intended to describe the presently
described embodiments and are not intended to limit the meanings of
the terms or to restrict the scope of the accompanying claims.
Therefore, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various
modifications and other equivalent embodiments are possible from
the above embodiments. Accordingly, the scope of the claims should
be defined by the technical spirit of the description and
figures.
