This application claims the benefit of Korean Application No. 20-2013-0003063 filed on Apr. 19, 2013 with the Korean Intellectual Property Office, The disclosure of which is incorporation herein by reference.
The present invention relates to an airless pump container equipped with an impregnated member and an absorbing member, and more specifically, to an airless pump container equipped with an impregnated member and an absorbing member, wherein the impregnated member is impregnated with content in a gel state so that evenly mixed content in the gel-state may be used, and the content in the gel-state is more evenly mixed by the absorbing member.
In general, cosmetics are manufactured by mixing mutually different materials having mutually different specific gravity, and the cosmetic materials may be classified into water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion type cosmetic material and oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion type cosmetic material obtained by mixing water-based material and oil-based material such as an emulsifying agent including a surface active agent.
The water-in-oil emulsion type cosmetic material has a larger quantity of oil than that of water and is oily so that the absorption of skin is slow. Although the touch feeling of the water-in-oil emulsion type cosmetic material is heavy, the persistence is longer than that of the oil-in-water emulsion type cosmetic material. The oil-in-water emulsion type cosmetic material has a larger quantity of water than that of oil and is little oily so that the absorption of skin is fast. Although the touch feeling of the water-in-oil emulsion type cosmetic material is flash and light, the persistence is low.
Therefore, the cosmetics requiring persistence are manufactured by using the W/O emulsion type cosmetic material to increase water resistance against sweat and water.
Although the touch feeling of the W/O emulsion type cosmetic material is heavy and sticky, the defects may be compensated by reducing the viscosity of content. However, when the water-in-oil product having low viscosity remains for a long time in circulation, the aqueous material of internal phase and the oil materials of external phase may be separated from each other. In this case, a user shakes a container to mix the separated aqueous and oil materials with each other for use, but it is inconvenient to shake the container for use.
To solve the problems, there has been disclosed a container having an agitating wing to mix contents in the container well without directly shaking the container in Korean Registered Utility Model No. 20-464645. However, it is inconvenient to operate the agitating wing by rotating a lower end of the container every time it is used. In addition, the structure is complex because the agitating wing must be formed and operated in the container.
To solve the problems described above, an object of the present invention is to provide an airless pump container equipped with an impregnated member and an absorbing member, which is capable of evenly mixing gel-state contents through the impregnated member when the gel-state contents are discharged for use and of using the gel-state contents more evenly mixed with each other while allowing the gel-state contents primarily mixed by the impregnated member to pass through the absorbing member.
In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide an airless pump container equipped with an impregnated member and an absorbing member, which is not required to be shaken because the gel-state contents are impregnated into the impregnated member so that the container is convenient in use.
In addition, still another object of the present invention is to provide an airless pump container equipped with an impregnated member and an absorbing member, which is capable of directly applying gel-state contents impregnated into the impregnated member on a skin after allowing the gel-state contents to pass through the absorbing member to be more evenly mixed with each other when the gel-state content is discharged for use, so that the container is convenient in use.

When the impregnated member 30 is downwardly pressed to discharge the gel-state contents as the pushing plate 20 is elevated, the shielding member 40 is operated as a shielding plate, so that the impregnated member 30 is prevented from moving up. A pump coupling hole 42 is formed on a central portion of the shield member 40 and coupled to the airless pump 50 so that the gel-state contents are discharged to an outside. The upper extension part 41 formed on the outer periphery of the shield member 40 is coupled to the lower extension part 64 of the pump holder 60 to allow the shield member 40 to be placed on the upper end of the container main body 10.
The airless pump 50 discharges the gel-state contents impregnated into the impregnated member 30 and is coupled to a shielding member coupling hole 65 of the pump holder 60 and the pump coupling hole 42 of the shield member 40. The airless pump 50 includes a check valve 51, a piston road 53, a support tube 57 coupled through an inside of a sealing member 55 to the sealing member 55 coupled to the piston valve 54 and a sealing member coupling hole 65 of the pump holder 60, and an elastic member 56 formed between the support tube 57 and the sealing member 55.
The housing 52 is placed in the pump coupling hole 42 of the shielding member 40 and the check valve 51 is installed on the inner lower end of the housing 52 to enable the gel-state contents to flow into the housing 52. The housing 52 is coupled to the pump coupling hole 42 of the shielding member 40 and the check valve 51 is installed to an inner lower end of the housing 52 such that the gel-state contents flow into the housing 52. The housing 52 includes the piston road 53 movable up and down, the piston valve 54 tightly attached to an outer surface of the piston road 53, and a sealing member 55 placed on an upper portion of the piston valve 54 and coupled to the sealing member coupling hole 65 of the pump holder 60. The support tube 57, which presses the piston road 53 to move down when external force is applied thereto, is provided on the upper portion of the piston road 53. The support tube 57 is installed to surround the upper portion of the piston road 53. The elastic member 56 for upwardly supporting the support tube 57 is installed between the sealing member 55 and the support tube 57.

The absorbing member 90 is installed in the absorbing member holder 70 and an extension part 77 is formed on a lower portion of the absorbing member holder 70. The extension part is inserted into the support tube 57 on the upper end of the airless pump 50. Although the gel-state contents are directly discharged to the absorbing member 90 through a central hollow hole of the absorbing member holder 70, a discharge plate 80 for allowing the gel-state contents to be evenly absorbed into the absorbing member 90 may be installed.
The discharge plate 80 is installed in the absorbing member holder 70 and is provided with a plurality of discharge holes 82 through which the gel-state contents may be evenly absorbed by the absorbing member 90. The discharge holes 82 may be radially formed such that the gel-state contents may be evenly absorbed by the absorbing member 90.
The absorbing member 90 is installed in the absorbing member holder 70. The gel-state contents discharged through the discharge plate 80 are more evenly mixed with each other while passing through the absorbing member 90. The gel-state contents may be directly coated on a skin through the absorbing member 90, or and may be used after being coated on a separated puff.
The absorbing member 90 is made of the same material as that of the impregnated member 30 and is an open-cell foam.
The absorbing member 90 includes at least one selected from the group consisting of butadiene rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, natural rubber, wet urethane, dry urethane, polyether, polyester, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, ethylene vinyl acetate, latex, silicon, styrene isoprene styrene, styrene ethylene butylene styrene, polyvinyl alcohol, silicone agent elastomer, nitrile rubber, butyl rubber and neoprene.
