Description
TECHNOLOGICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a container for storing
different types of contents, and more particularly, to a container
for storing different types of contents which is configured such
that liquid-type contents and solid contents are accommodated in
one container body, and can be used by being selectively withdrawn
through the upper and lower parts of the container body by means of
the rotation of the container body, thereby facilitating
portability and improving user convenience.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Generally, for putting on eye makeup and lip makeup, either
liquid-type contents or solid-type contents can be selected
according to a user's taste. Since an applying method is different
according to liquid-type contents or solid-type contents, cosmetics
are contained in different containers and sold.
[0003] For example, there are two types of conventional lipsticks
used for lip makeup: a liquid-type lipstick and a solid-type
lipstick. When using a solid-type lipstick, a user opens a lid of
the solid-type lipstick and then rotates a rotating body provided
at the bottom of the container to make a solid stick raised and
protruded to the outside, and then lowers the stick to accommodate
the stick into the container after using.
[0004] Furthermore, in case of a liquid-type lipstick, it is
configured in a manner that an applying means such as a brush etc.,
is inserted and withdrawn in a first storage container, such that a
user can use a liquid-type contents which are smeared on an
application means when withdrawing, from the first storage
container, the application means which is normally inserted in a
first storage container.
[0005] A user can selectively use the solid-type lipstick and the
liquid-type lipstick in accordance with his or her preference.
Since solid-type lipsticks and liquid-type lipsticks are separately
sold, a user should carry solid-type lipstick and/or liquid-type
lipsticks respectively, which is a hassle for a user to carry and
results in user inconvenience.

upper rotation body 310 or the lower rotation body 320 rotates to
the other side, thereby making the first storage container 100
withdrawn to a lower portion of the lower rotation body 320.
[0036] Meanwhile, at the ascending/descending guide member 500 is
formed a first fixing groove 520 which extends from the first
vertical guide groove 511 and fixes the guide protrusion 410 when
the guide protrusion 410 moves in an upward direction along the
first vertical guide groove 511, wherein at the first fixing groove
520 is provided a first support protrusion 521 which supports a
guide protrusion 410 such that the guide protrusion 410 is
prevented from separating from the first fixing groove 520 when the
second storage container 200 is withdrawn in a state that the guide
protrusion 410 is disposed at the first fixing groove 520.
[0037] Furthermore, at the ascending/descending guide member 500 is
formed a second fixing groove 530 which extends from an end of the
second vertical guide groove 512 and fixes the guide protrusion 410
when the guide protrusion 410 moves in a downward direction along
the second vertical guide groove 512, wherein at the second fixing
groove 530 is provided a second support protrusion 531 which
supports the guide protrusion 410 such that the guide protrusion
410 is prevented from being separated from the second fixing groove
530 and thus the ascending/descending member 400 is prevented from
moving when contents is applied through the contents application
tip 440 in a state that the guide protrusion 410 is disposed at the
second fixing groove 530.
[0038] Meanwhile, at the ascending/descending guide member 500 is
provided a securing protrusion 100 to which the guide protrusion
410 is secured normally in a state that the container body 300
receives the first storage container 100 and the second storage
container 200.
[0039] Hereafter, a procedure of the first storage container of a
container for storing different types of contents according to an
exemplary embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3
and 4.
[0040] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, normally when an upper rotation
body 310 or a lower rotation body 320 rotates to one side direction
in a state of the guide protrusion 410 being secured at the
securing protrusion 540, the guide protrusion 410 of the
ascending/descending member 400 moves along the second vertical
guide groove 512 and thereby the ascending/descending member 400
descends. Due to this, the first storage container 100 coupled to a
lower portion of the ascending/descending member 400 descends along
together and is withdrawn to a lower portion of the lower rotation
body 320.
[0041] When the first storage container 100 is withdrawn to a lower
portion of the lower rotation body 320 as in the above, the first
storage container 100 rotates and then releases a screw combination
of the ascending/descending member 400 and the first storage
container 100, such that a contents application tip 440 is
withdrawn from the first storage container 100 in a state of
pressing the container body 300 and thereby it is possible to apply
a lipstick makeup.
[0042] When applying a lipstick makeup as in the above by means of
a contents application tip 440, a guide protrusion 410 gets
disposed at a second fixing groove 530. It is preferred that a
second support protrusion 531 supporting the guide protrusion 410
is provided at the second fixing groove 530 for preventing the
guide protrusion 410 from being separated from the second fixing
groove 530 by a pressure arising when the contents application tip
440 touches lips, and the ascending/descending member from
moving.
[0043] Hereafter, referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, a withdrawal
procedure of a second storage container of a container for storing
different types of contents according to the preferred embodiments
will be described.
[0044] Referring FIGS. 5 and 6, normally when rotating an upper
rotation body 310 or a lower rotation body 320 to one side
direction in a state of the guide protrusion 410 being secured at
the securing protrusion 540, the guide protrusion 410 of the
ascending/descending member 400 moves along the first vertical
guide groove 512 and thereby the ascending/descending member 400
ascends. Due to this, an ascending pressure is delivered to a
rotation support 210 secured at an upper portion of the
ascending/descending member 400, and ascends together with the
second storage container 200, such that the rotation support 210
gets exposed to an upper portion of the upper rotation body
310.
[0045] When a rotation support 210 is exposed to an upper portion
of an upper rotation body 310, as in the above, a user presses the
rotation support 210 and withdraws a second storage container 200
from the container body 300, such that a user is able to use a
solid-type contents (M2) through a rotation of the rotation support
210.
[0046] As in the above, when the second storage container 200 is
withdrawn from the container body 300, a guide protrusion 410 gets
disposed at a first fixing groove 520. It is preferable to provide,
at the first fixing groove 520, a first support protrusion 521
which supports the guide protrusion 410 for preventing the guide
protrusion 410 from being separated from the first fixing groove
520 by a pressure withdrawing the second storage container 200.
[0047] As described in the above, according to a rotation direction
of the upper rotation body 310 or the lower rotation body 320, the
first storage container 100 or the second storage container 200 is
withdrawn from the container body 300, such that a user can
selectively use either a liquid-type contents or a solid-type
contents.
[0048] Meanwhile, the drawings illustrate a lipstick product, but a
variety of different contents consisting of liquid-type contents or
solid-type contents like a concealer, a highlighter, an eye
brightener, eye primer, etc. can be selectively applicable to
various embodiments
[0049] 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 contemplated
embodiments and are not intended to limit the meanings of the terms
or to restrict the scope of the accompanying claims. Therefore,
