having an absorption member impregnated with liquid contents, more
specifically the cosmetic container having an absorption member
impregnated with liquid contents wherein the absorption member,
made of a porous material and impregnated with liquid contents, is
compressed when a piston ascends with the rotation of a rotation
body, whereby the impregnated liquid contents are withdrawn to an
upper portion thereof for being used, thereby providing the same
usability as solid lip stick products which are familiar to users
and improving spreading properties.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Generally, cosmetic products such as lipsticks is configured
to open a cap, rotate a rotation body provided at a lower portion
of a container thereof, and raise/lower a solid lipstick to the
outside of the container. For example, when a user wants to use a
lipstick, firstly the user opens a cap of a container, rotates a
rotation body, and raises the lipstick to the outside to be
protruded. After using the lipstick, the user lowers the lipstick,
and makes the lipstick received in the container.
[0003] "A lipstick container" with a configuration as the above is
disclosed in FIG. 1 of the registered utility model no. 20-0241614

[0004] The registered utility model is characterized in that a
lipstick (2) is fitted into a lipstick holder (3), and the lipstick
holder (3) and a rotation tube (5) are coupled as a fixing
protrusion (4) of the lipstick holder (3) is being fitted into a
helical groove (6) formed at an inner portion of the rotation tube
(5). A guide tube (7) is inserted between the lipstick holder (3)
and the rotation tube (5), and coupled to the rotation tube (5) by
an annulus protrusion (5). Meanwhile, the fixing protrusion (4) of
the lipstick holder (3) is disposed inside a guide groove (8) of
the guide tube (7) and, at the same time, at the helical groove
(6).
[0005] The registered utility model is configured in a way that the
fixing protrusion (4) hung between the helical groove (6) and the
guide groove (8) ascends when a user holds the guide tube (7) with
a hand and rotates the rotation tube (5), and thereby the lipstick
(2) fitted in the lipstick holder (3) ascends along for applying
lip make up by means of the lipstick (2); however, this type of
lipsticks composed of a solid lipstick as in the above has a
problem in that ingredients of the lipstick are likely to be
spoiled by being contacted with air.
[0006] Due to this, recently, there have been developed a variety
of lipstick containers which are possible to minimize decomposition
of contents thereof by using liquid lipstick with the lipstick
smeared on a brush like a manicure or using the liquid lipstick
discharged by squeezing the liquid lipstick stored in the container
with a piston.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments will be described in
detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same
reference numerals provided in the drawings indicate the same
members.
[0020] FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view illustrating a
configuration of a cosmetic container having an absorption member
impregnated with liquid contents according to an exemplary
embodiment. FIG. 2 is an assembled perspective view illustrating a
configuration of a cosmetic container having an absorption member
impregnated with liquid contents according to an exemplary

illustrating a configuration of a cosmetic container having an
absorption member impregnated with liquid contents according to an
exemplary embodiment.
[0021] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a cosmetic container having an
absorption member impregnated with liquid contents according to an
exemplary embodiment includes an outer container 100, a rotation
body 200, an inner container 300, a piston rod 400, a piston 500,
an absorption member 600, and an over cap 700.
[0022] The outer container 100, receiving an inner container 300,
has a cylindrical shape with a predetermined length such that the
inner container 300 can ascend/descend at an interior thereof,
further having a coupling protrusion 110 formed at an outer lower
portion such that the rotation body 200 can be rotatably coupled
therein.
[0023] In the present embodiments, it is characterized in that at
an upper portion of the outer container 100 is provided a limiting
protrusion 120 which limits the ascent of the inner container 300,
wherein the limiting protrusion 120 supports an upper end of the
inner container 300 when the inner container 300 ascends by
rotation of the rotation body 200, such that it is possible for the
piston 500 to press the absorption member 600 as ascending along an
inner wall of the inner container 300 when the rotation body
continues rotating.
[0024] Meanwhile, at an upper portion of the outer container 100 is
provided a decoration part 900 which has a transparent window 910
for discerning from the outside the color of liquid contents
impregnated in the absorption member 600 or the ascent/descent of
the piston 500. At this time, it is preferable that the outer
container 100 should be made of a transparent material.
[0025] The rotation member 200 is rotatably coupled, encasing a
lower portion of the outer container 100, and is characterized to
be provided with an ascending/descending guide member 210, at an
inner side of the rotation body 200, which extends upwards from a
lower end thereof.
[0026] The ascending/descending guide member 210 is provided with a
screw thread at an inner circumferential surface thereof and is
screw-coupled with the piston rod 400, which will make it possible
for the piston rod 400 to ascend/descend according to rotation
directions of the rotation body 200.
[0027] The inner container 300, ascending/descending at an inner
side of the outer container 100 according to rotation of the
rotation body 200, moves along together with the ascent/descent of
the piston 500 which is formed in a close contact to an inner wall
of the inner container; when ascending, the inner container 300 is
supported by the limiting protrusion 120 and limited in ascending,
and when descending, the inner container 300 is supported by a
bottom surface of the rotation body 200 and limited in
descending.
[0028] The present embodiments are characterized in that at an
inner side of the inner container 300 is provided a fixing part 310
which forms a hollow 311 such that the absorption member 600 can be
fitted-coupled and fixed, wherein the fixing part 310 prevents the
absorption member 600 from moving to an upper portion thereof when
the piston 500 ascends and presses the absorption member 600.
[0029] The inner container 300 is preferably made of a transparent
material such that it is possible to discern from the outside the
color of liquid contents impregnated in the absorption member 600
or the ascent/descent of the piston 500.
[0030] The piston rod 400 is screw-coupled to the
ascending/descending guide member 210 and ascends/descends
according to rotation of the rotation body 200, further including a
screw-thread at an outer circumferential surface for being capable
of screw-coupling with the ascending/descending guide member
210.
[0031] The piston 500, coupled to an upper portion of the piston
rod 400 and moving along together with the ascent/descent of the
piston rod 400, is configured to ascend/descend in a close contact
with an inner wall of the inner container 300. Due to this, when
ascending, the piston 500 pressurizes the absorption member 600
which is disposed at an upper portion thereof, such that liquid
contents impregnated in the absorption member 600 can move to an
upper portion of the absorption member 600.
[0032] Furthermore, the piston 500 is closely contacted to an inner
wall of the inner container 300, such that, when the piston 500
pressurizes the absorption member 600, the liquid contents
impregnated in the absorption member 600 is prevented from moving
to a lower portion along an inner wall of the inner container
300.
[0033] The absorption member 600 is fitted-coupled with a fixing
part 310 inside of the inner container 300. The absorption member
600 is characterized to be composed of a porous material
impregnated with liquid contents.
[0034] The absorption member 600 is made of an elastic material
which gets contracted by compression generated by the ascent of the
piston 500 and then is released when the piston 500 descends. It is
preferred that an upper portion of the absorption member 600 should
be configured to have a shape which gets narrower towards an upper
portion thereof in order that a user can easily apply liquid
contents onto her lips.
[0035] The over cap 700, which is detachably coupled to a
decoration part 900 as encasing an upper portion of the outer
container 100, is coupled to a sealing cap 800, at an upper inner
side thereof, which seals an opened upper portion of the outer
container 100 so as to prevent liquid contents impregnated in the
absorption member 210 from being vaporized. The over cap 700, in
case there is no decoration part 900, can be detachably coupled to
the outer container 100.
[0036] Hereafter, referring FIGS. 4A to 6F, a using method of to a
cosmetic container having an absorption member impregnated with
liquid contents according to an exemplary embodiment will be
explained. FIGS. 4A to 6F are explanatory drawings illustrating
using methods of a cosmetic container having an absorption member
impregnated with liquid contents according to an exemplary
embodiment.
[0037] Firstly, referring FIGS. 4A and 4B, when a user pressurizes
a decoration part 900 with one hand in a state of detaching the
over cap 700 from the decoration part 900 and rotates the rotation
body 200 to one side direction with the other hand, there arise an
ascent of the piston rod 400 which is screw-coupled with the
ascending/descending guide member 210. When the piston rod 400
ascends, the piston 500 coupled to an upper portion of the piston
rod 400 ascends and thereby the inner container 300 ascend along
together according to the piston 500 ascending.
[0038] As in the above, when the inner container 300 ascends, an
absorption member 600 fixed to a fixing part 310 of the inner
container 300 ascends along together; due to this, an upper portion
of the absorption member 600 is withdrawn and gets exposed to the
outside of the outer container 100.
[0039] Next, when the rotation body 200 is rotated further in a
state that the absorption member 600 is exposed to the outside, as
illustrated in FIG. 5C, the piston 500 ascends along an inner wall
of the inner container 300 and pressurizes the absorption member
600, in a state that an upper portion of the inner container 300 is
supported by a limiting protrusion 120 of the outer container 100
and thereby the ascent of the inner container 300 is limited, and
thereby moves liquid contents impregnated in the absorption member
600 to the upper portion thereof. Due to this, it is possible to
apply liquid contents having moved to the upper portion of the
absorption member 600 onto lips.
[0040] Next, as illustrated in FIG. 5D, when the rotation body 200
is rotated to the other direction, the piston rod 400 screw-coupled
to the ascending/descending guide member 210 descends. When the
piston rod 400 gets lowered, the piston 500 coupled to an upper
portion thereof descends and thereby the inner container 300
descends along together as the piston 500 is descending.
[0041] As in the above, when the inner container 300 descends, the
absorption member 600 fixed to the fixing part 310 of the inner
container 300 descends along together; due to this, the absorption
member 600 is inserted into an interior of the outer container
100.
[0042] Next, the absorption member 600 rotates the rotation body
200 further in a state the absorption member 600 is inserted into
the outer container 100, as illustrated in FIG. 6E, the piston 500
descends along the inner wall of the inner container 300 in a state
that a lower portion of the inner container 300 is supported by a
bottom surface of the outer container 100 and the descent of the
inner container 300 is limited; due to this, the pressure that
pressurizes the absorption member 600 is released and thereby the
absorption member 600 is relieved and restored.
[0043] As in the above, the absorption member 600, when restored in
a state being inserted into the outer container 100, is coupled
with the over cap 700 and seals an opened upper portion of the
outer container 100 through a sealing cap 800 provided at an inner
side thereof, therefore preventing liquid contents impregnated in
the absorption member 600 from being vaporized.
[0044] As previously described, since the absorption member 600 is
impregnated with liquid contents, basically it is possible to use
liquid contents impregnated in an upper portion of the absorption
member 600. When liquid contents impregnated in the upper portion
of the absorption member 600 are lacked, it is possible to withdraw
liquid contents to the upper portion of the absorption member 600
through compression of the absorption member 600 by the ascent of
the piston 500 and to always apply the contents in a state of
moisture, such that it is possible to provide excellent spreading
properties, and therefore is possible to be fit for a variety of
cosmetic goods such as lipsticks, and concealer, etc.
[0045] 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 specific
embodiments and are not intended to limit the meanings of the terms
or to restrict the scope of the accompanying claims. Accordingly,
those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications
and other equivalent embodiments are possible from the above
embodiments. Therefore, the scope of the present claims should be
defined by the technical spirit of the disclosure.
