Airless type cosmetic container with quantified contents discharging, contents leakage preventing and contents deterioration preventing functions

Abstract

Disclosed herein is an airless type cosmetic container that receives various kinds of cosmetics and that is capable of discharging a fixed quantity of contents received therein by a pumping operation, preventing the leakage of contents, and preventing the deterioration of contents. The cosmetic container is constructed in a structure in which a first valve member is fixed to the inner lower part of a cylinder formed in a housing member, the first valve member is integrally formed with a contents opening and closing member for opening and closing a contents introduction hole, an elastic flat plate part, and a vertical guide rod, a quantified contents discharging support protrusion is disposed at the piston shaft, and a nozzle hole opening and closing member is disposed in a nozzle hole.
