Description
TECHNOLOGICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a dispenser container
having a retractable button, wherein a button part is configured to
ascend/descend in a state of a container body being fixed when the
button part moves up and down by the rotation of a rotating body,
such that it is possible to enhance the stability of the products,
and also to reduce the production cost by composing the container
body of a single container.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Generally, a dispenser container is a device which is
coupled to the upper side of a sealing container filled with gas,
liquid or other types of contents, and discharges a predetermined
amount of contents stored in the interior thereof by
pressurization, and now is widely utilized in a variety of sealing
containers for packing cosmetics, perfume, medicine, food, etc.
[0003] This dispenser container, configured to include a container
body receiving contents, a pumping member coupled to the upper
portion of the container body and drawing contents through pumping
operation by making the interior of the container body vacuous, and
a button member disposed at the upper portion of the pumping member
and moving up and down according to user's pressurization, is
configured to cause the pumping member to perform a pumping
operation and to cause contents to be discharged when the button
member is pressurized. When a user carries around the container in
a bag, it is likely that the button member of the container can be
unintentionally pressurized, which may cause an unnecessary
discharge of the contents.
[0004] To solve the problems described in the above, "a cosmetic
discharge equipment", configured to have a button exposed only when
the contents are being used, is disclosed in the registered utility
model No. 20-0347811. (Hereafter, called as `the registered utility
model`).
[0005] The registered utility model is related to a cosmetic
container, wherein, according to pressing operation, a container
which discharges contents stored in the container, and a guide
protrusion of a pump body, placed at a guide hole of an outer
container which is disposed at the exterior of the container, are
guided along a spiral groove of a rotation tube body, such that the
button can be retracted from the rotation tube body,
[0006] characterized in that a guide tube body (100) having a
spiral groove (101) at both sides at the upper portion of the outer
container (30) is equipped; a guide tube body (100) formed at a
pump body (10) is penetrated and coupled at the spiral groove (101)
of the guide tube (100); a rotation tube body (200), forming at
both inner surfaces a vertical guide groove (201) where the dead
end of the guide protrusion (11) of the pump body (10) is
penetrated towards the spiral groove (101) of the guide tube body
(100), is equipped with a undercut as being covered to the exterior
of the guide tube body (100); and the button (20) is equipped at
the stem (24) of the pump body (10).
[0007] The registered utility model, configured in a way that the
button (20) ascends/descends according to rotation of the rotation
tube body (200) and is retracted from the rotation tube body (200),
is able to move up the button only while being used, such that the
problem that contents are discharged by user's unintended
pressurization of the button (20) can be prevented. However, since
the container (20) is configured to ascends and descends along
together in a process of the button (20) ascending/descending, the
production cost will be increased due to the structure of double
containers. In addition, in case the container is dropped due to
user's carelessness in a state of the button (20) ascending, there
arise problems, such as the defects of the product, and the
separation of the container due to the weight of the product.

[0026] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a dispenser container having a
retractable button according to an exemplary embodiment includes a
container body 100, a pumping member 200, and a fixation body 300,
a pumping guide member 400, a rotation body 500, an
ascending/descending member 600, and a button part 700.
[0027] The container body 100, where contents are stored, is
provided with a discharge part 110 coupled with a fixation body 300
and discharge contents at the upper portion thereof, and is
provided with a piston 120 moving up according to the contents use
at the inner side thereof.
[0028] The pumping member 200 is fixed by the fixation body 300 at
the upper portion of the container body 100, and discharges the
contents stored in the container body 100 by means of pumping
operation according to the pressurization of the button part 700.
Since the pumping member 200 disclosed in the described embodiments
belongs to the well-known art, detailed description thereof will be
omitted.
[0029] The fixation body 300, coupled to the discharge part 110 of
the container body 100 and guiding the ascending/descending member
600 to ascend and descend, is provided with a coupling part 310
which has a hollow at the inner center portion thereof for being
coupled to the discharge part 110.
[0030] In the presently described embodiments, it is characterized
in that at the outer circumferential surface of the fixation body
300 is formed a spiral groove 320 which moves an
ascending/descending member 600 up and down. A guide protrusion 610
of the ascending/descending member 600 is coupled at the spiral
groove 320 and moves. it is preferable that the spiral groove 320
should be formed with a pair which correspond to each other at both
sides for a guide protrusion 610 for being capable of moving
stably.
[0031] In addition, a protrusion 321 is provided at the top end
point of the spiral groove 320 such that a user can recognize this
when the guide protrusion 610 enters the direct part of the pumping
guide groove 330 in a state of the guide protrusion 610 moving up
along the spiral groove 320.
[0032] Meanwhile, in the presently described embodiments, it is
characterized in that at the dead end of the spiral groove 320 is
formed a pumping guide groove 330 which extends downwards from the
top end point of the spiral groove 320. As the pumping guide groove
330 is formed, a space formed by a guide protrusion 610 moves up
and down by the pressure and release of the button part 700 in a
state of the button part 700 ascending, thereby making the pumping
operation of the pumping member 200 possible.
[0033] The pumping guide member 400 is coupled to the upper portion
of the pumping member 200 and delivers the pressure by user's
pressurization to the pumping member 200, thereby guiding the
pumping operation of the pumping member 200. The pumping member 200
is provided with a contents movement tube 420 which is coupled to
the upper portion of the pumping member 200 and moves the contents
such that the contents can be moved to a contents discharge out 710
by the pumping operation of the pumping member 200, and at the side
surface thereof is provided a contents movement hole 410 which is
connected to the contents movement tube 420.
[0034] In the presently described embodiments, at the pumping guide
member 400 is provided a pressurization plate 430 pressurized by a
pressurization protrusion 650 of the ascending/descending member
600, wherein the pressurization plate 430 extends to both sides,
with the contents movement tube 420 as the center, for being able
to be pressurized by a pair of the pressurization protrusion 650. A
contents movement passage 431 is provided at the inner side of the
pressurization plate 430 extending to the direction, where the
contents movement hole 410 is formed, so as to connect the contents
movement tube 420 and the contents movement hole 410.
[0035] The rotation body 500, encasing the fixation body 300 and
rotatably coupled at the upper portion of the container body 100,
is provided with a hollow 520 such that the button part 700 can be
inserted and moved up and down.
[0036] In the presently described embodiments, it is characterized
in that a vertical guide groove 510, formed longitudinally from the
upper portion to the lower portion thereof at the inner
circumferential surface of the rotation body 500, can guide a guide
protrusion 610 of the ascending/descending member 600 to move
vertically by means of the vertical guide groove 510, thereby
performing a vertical movement of the ascending/descending member
600.
[0037] The ascending/descending member 600 is configured to be
disposed as encasing the pumping guide member 400 at the inner side
of the rotation body 500 and to move up and down by rotation of the
rotation body 500. In the presently described embodiments, at both
sides of the outer circumferential surface of the
ascending/descending member 600 is formed a guide protrusion 610
which is inserted into the spiral groove 320 and the vertical guide
groove 510 for guiding the ascent and descent of the
ascending/descending member 600.
[0038] The guide protrusion 610 is configured to move up the
ascending/descending member 600 as ascending along the spiral
groove 320 and the vertical guide groove 510 when the rotation body
500 rotates to the one side, and to move down the
ascending/descending member 600 as descending along the spiral
groove 320 and the vertical guide groove 510 when the rotation body
500 rotates to the other side.
[0039] Meanwhile, it is characterized in that at the side of the
ascending/descending member 600 is formed a communication hole 630
which is connected with the contents movement hole 410 of the
pumping guide member 400. The communication hole 630 is cornerwise
disposed to the contents movement hole 410 in a state of the
ascending/descending member 600 descending, and is connected with
the contents movement hole 410 in a state of the
ascending/descending member 600 ascending. Due to this, it is
possible that contents discharged through the contents movement
hole 410 can move to the contents discharge outlet 710 only when
the ascending/descending member 600 ascends, therefore capable of
basically preventing the contents, while being stored, from being
discharged.
[0040] Furthermore, it is characterized in that a contents movement
groove 640 which guides for the contents to move to the contents
movement outlet 710 is formed at the ascending/descending member
600, wherein the contents movement groove 640 is configured to form
a space where contents move longitudinally along the side surface
of the ascending/descending member 600 from the upper portion of
the communication hole 630.
[0041] Furthermore, at the inner upper side of the
ascending/descending member 600 is provided a pressurization
protrusion 650 pressurizing the pumping guide member 400. In the
presently described embodiments, it is characterized in that the
pressurization protrusion 650, as illustrated in FIG. 4, is
disposed at the lower portion of the pressurization plate 430 in a
state of the ascending/descending member 600 descending, and is
secured to the upper end of the pressurization plate 430 in a state
of the ascending/descending member 600 ascending to the top end by
rotation thereof. When a user pressurizes the button part 700 in a
state of the ascending/descending member 600 ascending, the
pressurization protrusion 650 pressurizes the pressurization plate
430 and then, the pumping guide member 400 descends, thereby
causing the pumping member 200 to perform a pumping operation.
[0042] A reinforcement piece 660 is provided at the inner side of
the ascending/descending member 600 for preventing deformation
caused by the persistent pressurization of the pressurization plate
430 by the pressurization protrusion 650.
[0043] Meanwhile, a coupling groove 620 which is coupled with a
coupling protrusion 720 of the button part 700 is formed at the
ascending/descending member 600.
[0044] The button part 700, coupled as encasing the
ascending/descending member 600 and moving along with the ascent
and descent of the ascending/descending member 600, is provided
with a coupling protrusion 720 coupled to the coupling groove 620
of the ascending/descending member 600.
[0045] The button part 700 is provided with a contents discharge
outlet 710 formed with a contents discharge hole 711 at the side
surface thereof for the contents to be discharged to the
outside.
[0046] Hereinafter, an operational process of a dispenser container
having a retractable button according to an exemplary embodiment
will be described with reference to FIGS. 4A-C through 7.
[0047] Referring to FIGS. 4A-C through 7, when the rotation body
500 is rotated to one side in a state of the button part 700
descending, the guide protrusion 610 of the ascending/descending
member 600 moves along the spiral groove 320 and the vertical guide
groove 510, and makes the ascending/descending member 600 ascend.
Due to this, the button part 700 coupled with the
ascending/descending member 600 moves up together and is withdrawn
to the upper end of the rotation body 500, thereby making the
contents discharge outlet 710 exposed to the outside.
[0048] As described in the above, in a state of the
ascending/descending member 600 and the button part 700 ascending,
the contents movement hole 410 of the pumping guide member 400 and
the communication hole 630 of the ascending/descending member 600
are connected to each other, and the pressurization protrusion 650
is disposed in a state of being secured at the upper end of the
pressurization plate 430. In this state, if a user pressurizes the
button part 700, the pressurization protrusion 650 pressurizes the
pressurization plate 430, and then, the pumping guide member 400
descends, thereby making the pumping member 200 perform the pumping
operation.
[0049] As described in the above, when the pumping member 200
performs the pumping operation, contents pass through, in order,
the contents movement tube 420, the content movement passage 431,
the contents movement hole 410, the communication hole 630, the
contents movement groove 640, and the contents discharge outlet
710, and finally, then, are discharged through the contents
discharge hole 711 to the outside.
[0050] Hereafter, the process of absorbing contents that remain in
the top end portion of a discharge outlet of the dispenser
container having a retractable button according to an exemplary
embodiment will be described with a reference of FIG. 8.
[0051] Referring FIGS. 8A and 8B, when contents are completely used
up, the button part 700 descends by rotating the rotation body 500
to the other side. In the presently described embodiments, it is
characterized in that, when the button part 700 descends by
rotation of the rotation body 500, a space formed by the outer
circumferential surface of the pumping guide member 400 and the
inner circumferential surface of the ascending/descending member
600 gets expanded from S1 to S2, such that the contents remaining
in the top end portion of the contents discharge outlet 710 are
absorbed as much as the space expanded.
[0052] In the presently described embodiments, it is characterized
in that, by configuring to absorb the contents remaining in the top
end portion of the contents discharge outlet 710 when the button
part 700 descends, the contents remaining in the top end portion of
the contents discharge outlet 710 can be discharged to the outside,
thereby preventing the contents from being discharged to the
outside and keeping the container from being contaminated.
[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 certain
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 above.
