Furthermore, the present invention relates to a cosmetic container having an application member detachably attached to the side of a button member, wherein the application member is assembled by being detachably attached to the side of the button member, thereby making it suitable to produce various kinds of products in small quantities, of which the application members have different shapes from one another, and making it easy to attach or change the application members when producing products of which the application members have different shapes from one another, thereby increasing the rate of product production and reducing production costs.
In general, as a human being ages, the skin function of a human being is deteriorated, so that a spot, a freckle, melisma, a blemish, an age spot and the like, great or small, may be generated on the face of a human being, the skin may be too dried, or a wrinkle may be generated on the skin. Specifically, there may be many people having dark circles around those eyes.
Various medical treatments are performed or various kinds of functional cosmetics are used to prevent various phenomena from occurring on the face skins of people beforehand, or to cover or remove the troubles.
Functional cosmetics which cover a dark circle generated around eyes to allow the dark circle not to be seen are called functional cosmetics. Such eye cream has been produced while various functions of giving effects of moisturizing around eyes, whitening, wrinkle removal, waste product, removal from stratum corneum and the like, expected when used, are added thereto.
However, since the eye cream cosmetics described above must be applied with hands or a separated cosmetic tool of various forms, it is inconvenient to use such eye cream cosmetics.
In addition, since a container for eye cream cosmetics according to the related art is constructed in a simple configuration of a tube container and a lid for opening/closing the tube container and must be pressed to discharge the contents for use when wearing makeup, it is difficult to discharge a fixed amount of cosmetic contents, so that the cosmetic contents may be wasted.

Hereinafter, a cosmetic container having an application member detachably attached to the side of a button member according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to accompanying drawings.
According to the present invention, a cosmetic container having an application member detachably attached to a side of a button member includes a container body 10 having a storage space 13, a pump 20 for discharging contents of the container body 10 to an outside, a cap 30 for fixing the pump 20 to the container body 10, the button member 40 coupled to an upper part of the pump 20 and formed to protrude upward of the cap 30, and the application member 50 detachably attached to the side of the button member 40.
The container body 10 is provided therein with the storage space 13 for containing contents. An opening 11 through which contents are introduced is formed on the container body 10. A container body screw thread 12 is formed on an outer periphery surface of an upper end of the container body 10.
A cylinder 24 of the pump 20 is latch-coupled to an inside of the opening 11, and the container body screw thread 12 is screw-coupled to the cap 30.
Although the embodiment proposes the container body 10 and the cap 30 screw-coupled to each other, the container body 10 and the cap 30 may be under-cut coupled or forcibly and fittingly coupled to each other.
The pump 20 is used to dispense the contents of the container body 10 to an outside. The pump 20 includes a piston 22, a cylinder 24 having a cylindrical shape to allow the piston 22 to be inserted therein, a piston ring 21 interposed between an outer periphery surface of the piston 22 and an inner periphery surface of the cylinder 24, and a check valve 23 installed in the cylinder 24 and formed on a lower portion of the cylinder 24.
The piston 22 is formed therein with a hollow 223. A first inlet 221, through which the contents are introduced into the hollow 223 is formed on a side surface of the piston 22, and a flange 222 is formed on a lower end of the piston 22.
The button member 40 communicating with the hollow 223 of the piston 22 is assembled with an upper portion of the piston 22. Thus, as the button member 40 moves up or down, the piston 22 moves up or down together with the piston 22.
An air hole 241 is formed on a side surface of the cylinder 24 and the cylinder 24 is fitted with an inner wall 31 of the cap 30.
The cylinder 24 is provided on an outer surface thereof with a latching ring sill 243 and a sealing wall 244 is formed below the latching ring sill 243.
The piston fitted with the piston ring 21 is inserted into the cylinder 24 so that the piston 22 may move up or down in the cylinder 24. A second inlet 242 is formed oil a lower portion of the cylinder 24 such that the contents contained in the container body 10 may be introduced into the cylinder 24 therethrough. In this case, the check valve 23 is installed at the second inlet 242 of the cylinder 24, such that the contents introduced into the cylinder 24 is prevented from flowing backward.
A vacuum pressure is generated in the air hole 241 of the cylinder 24 as the contents of the container body 10 are discharged. Due to the vacuum pressure, external air is introduced into the container body 10 through the air hole 241 formed in the cylinder 24.
The latching ring sill 243 is formed on an outer periphery surface of the cylinder 24 and is latch-coupled into the opening 11 of the container body 10.
The sealing wall 244 is formed below the latching ring sill 243. When the latching ring sill 243 is latch-coupled into the opening 11, the sealing wall 244 is fittingly coupled to an inner wall of the opening 11 such that the contents of the container body 10 are prevented from being leaked to an outside.
The piston ring 21 is fitted onto the outer periphery surface of the piston and disposed on an upper portion of the flange 222 of the piston 22.
Thus, as the piston 22 moves down, a gap is generated between the flange 222 of the piston 22 and the piston ring 21 so that a content discharging passage is generated. As the piston moves up, the flange 222 of the piston 22 and the piston, ring 21 is tightly closed to each other so that the content discharging passage is shut off.
The cap 30 fixes the pump 20 to the container body 10 and is screw coupled to the container body 10.
The cap 20 is formed at inner side thereof with an inner wall 31 and on an inner periphery surface of a lower end thereof with a cap screw thread 32.
The inner wall 31 is fitted with the cylinder 24 and presses the latching ring sill 243 of the cylinder 24 so that, the air tightness of the container body 10 is improved.
The cap screw thread 32 is coupled to the container body screw thread 12 of the container body 10 to fix the pump 20 to the container body 10.
An elastic member 25 is placed on an upper surface of the inner wall of the cap 30.
The elastic member 25 is located between the button member 40 and the inner wall 31 of the cap 30 to elastically support the pumping operation of the button member 40.
The button member 40 is formed therein with a first outlet 41, on an upper surface thereof with a push protrusion 42, and at one side thereof with a latching groove 43.
The first outlet 41 communicates with a second outlet of the application member 50 to discharge the contents of the container body 10 to an outside.
The push protrusion 42 is formed on the upper surface of the button member 40, such that a user may perform a pumping operation without sliding on the button member 40 when the user performs the pumping operation for using the eye cream container according to the present invention.
The push, protrusion 42 may be separately formed on the upper surface of the button member 40, or alternatively, like the embodiment, may be integrated with the upper surface of the button member 40.
The latching groove 43 is formed at an opposite side to the push protrusion 42 to allow the application member 50 to be latch-fixed to the button member 40.
The button member (40) is provided at a lower side thereof with a lower extension part 44 and a latching ring protrusion 45 is formed on an end of the lower extended part 44.
The piston 22 is fittingly coupled to an inside of the lower extension part 44, and the contents discharged through the hollow 223 are discharged to the first outlet formed in the button member 40.
The latching ring protrusion 45 is formed on the end of the lower extension part 44 and is latch-coupled to the inner wall 31 of the cap 30 such that the button member 40 is prevented from being separated from the cap 30.
The application member 50 includes a coupling part 51, an ejection part 52 coupled to an upper end of the coupling part 51, and an application surface 53 coupled to an upper end of the ejection part 52. The application member so is provided at a lower side thereof with a latching protrusion 54.
The latching protrusion 54 is formed below the coupling part 51, and a second outlet 55 is formed in the coupling part 51.
The coupling part 51 of the application member 50 is fitted onto a side surface of the first outlet 41 of the button member 40. The latching protrusion 54 formed below the application member 50 is latch-coupled to the latching groove 43 of the button member 40 to fixedly couple the application member 50 to the button member 40.
The second outlet 55 is formed in the coupling part 51 of the application member 50. After the contents of the container body 10 are discharged through the first outlet 41 formed in the button member 40, the contents are discharged through the second outlet 55 of the application member 50 to an outside.
The ejection part 52 is fittingly coupled to the upper end of the coupling part 51 and a plurality of massage balls 56 are mounted on an upper end of the ejection part 52.
The contents discharged through the second outlet 55 ooze between massage balls 56 and are applied onto a skin through the application surface 53 fittingly coupled to the upper end of the ejection part 52.
A plurality of mounting holes 57 for fixing the massage balls 56 are formed inside the application surface 53.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the application member 50 on which the application 53 and the massage balls 56 are formed together with each other is provided, so that the contents are applied on an application portion and at the same time, the massage is conveniently operated.

Then, after the pump 20 is coupled and assembled, the pump 20 is mounted on the tipper end of the container body 10.
Next, after the inner wall 31 of the cap 30 is fitted with the pump 20, the cap 30 is fixedly coupled to the container body 10.
In addition, after the elastic member 25 is inserted into the upper end of the inner wall 31, the button member 40 is fittingly coupled.
The application member 50 is fittingly coupled to the side surface of the button member 40, so that the assembly of the cosmetic container having an application member detachably attached to a side of a button member according to the present invention is completed.
According to the cosmetic container having an application member detachably attached to a side of a button member assembled according to the method described above, as shown in
Thereafter, when the piston 22 further moves down, the piston ring 21 moves down together while the end of the button member 40 makes contact with the piston ring 21, so that the volume of the cylinder 24 is reduced. Thus, the contents in the cylinder 24 are pushed to be discharged through the gap between the flange 222 of the piston 22 and the piston ring 21, so that the contents pass through the first outlet 41 of the button member 40 via the hollow 223 after passing through the first inlet 221 and then, are discharged to an outside through the second outlet 55 of the application member 50 fittingly coupled to the side surface of the button member 40.
In this case, since the application member 50 includes the application surface 53 and the massage balls 56 installed into the mounting hole 57 of the application surface 53, the massage is performed as soon as the contents are applied on the application portion.
In addition, since the integral application member 50-1 is detachably attached to the side surface of the button member 40 to be simply assembled, as shown in
As described above, the cosmetic container halving an application member detachably attached to a side of a button member described in this disclosure is an illustrative purpose only, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
