The present invention relates to a cosmetic container having a push button blocked from being pushed within a regulation angle and, more specifically, to a cosmetic container having a push button blocked from being pushed within a regulation angle, wherein the pushing of the push button is allow or not allowed by the rotation of a rotating member; when the rotating member is rotated, the push button remains unable to be pushed within a predetermined rotation angle and thus can be prevented from being pushed by an undiscerning child; and when the rotating member is rotated beyond the predetermined rotation angle by an adult woman relatively stronger than the child, the push button is fixed in a pushable state so that a user can conveniently operate and use the cosmetic container.
In general, women use various cosmetics to make up appearance more beautiful.
Based on the purpose of use, the cosmetics are classified into facial cleansing cosmetics used for removing sebum, wastes and contaminants on a surface of a skin, base cosmetics used for properly supplying moisture and oil to the skin, color cosmetics used for expressing beautiful colors, hair cosmetics used for protecting hairs and supplying nutrition as well as removing foreign substances from hairs or scalp, and perfumes obtained by dissolving fragrant materials in alcohol or the like and used for giving a fragrance to others.
As the above cosmetics have been developed, development of various cosmetics containers for containing cosmetic materials also has been required.
A liquid or gel cosmetic material having a viscosity among the above cosmetics is generally stored in a cosmetic container such as a tube container or a rigid plastic or glass container. For make-up, the cosmetic material is used in a manner that the cosmetic material is applied onto a skin by using a cosmetic tool, such as a puff, or a hand after the cosmetic container is pressed or turned over to discharge the cosmetic material to the hand of a user.
However, according to the conventional cosmetic container, it is difficult to constantly adjust the discharged amount of the cosmetic material, thereby causing waste of the cosmetic material. In addition, the cosmetic material stored in the cosmetic container is contaminated after coming into contact with external air or foreign matter.
Accordingly, recently a cosmetic container, which is configured to discharge contents in the container to the outside when the discharge pump is pumped by pressing the button after installing a discharge pump and a button to an inlet of the container containing a cosmetic material, has been developed and widely used.
However, when the cosmetic container equipped with the button and the discharge pump as described above is carried in a bag or the like, the button is pushed and the contents are discharged in an unintentional state of the user, or the button is pushed by an undiscerning child to discharge the contents, and accordingly, surroundings become dirty and the cosmetic material is wasted.
To solve the above mentioned problems, as shown in
However, according to the above related art, since the contents are pumped and discharged to the outside only when the button member is pushed in a state where a user holds a container body with one hand and rotates the rotating body with the other hand, it is very uncomfortable in use.
In addition, according to the above related art, since a restoration spring is installed to restore the rotated rotating body to an initial position, the rotating body is required to be strongly rotated to a predetermined angle to allow the button part member to be pushed. Thus, an undiscerning child is restricted to use the container, but it is also uncomfortable for a woman, as an actual user, having a relatively weak strength to use the container.
To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a cosmetic container for allowing a discharge device to be operated by pressing a push button to discharge cosmetic materials, wherein a fixing member is coupled to one side of the container body, a rotating member is rotatably coupled to the outside of the fixing member, and first and second regulation members are formed between the fixing member and the rotating member, in which each of the first and second regulation members is formed with a regulation protrusion including a regulation ridge and a regulation root so that the first and second regulation members are engaged with each other, the regulation protrusion of the first regulation member elastically comes into close contact with the regulation protrusion of the second regulation member by the elastic member the first regulation member coupled to the fixing member is fixed, upon rotation of the rotating member, and only the second regulation member coupled to the rotating member is rotated, and wherein the second regulation ridge of the second regulation member is prevented from passing over the first regulation ridge of the first regulation member and the second regulation member returns to an initial position, thereby maintaining a state of the push button prevented from being pushed, so that the push button is prevented from being pushed by an undiscerning child. Further, when the rotating member is rotated beyond the predetermined rotation angle by an adult woman relatively stronger than children, the regulation ridge of the second regulation member passes over the regulation ridge of the first regulation member and the second regulation member is elastically rotated, thereby the push button is fixed so as to be pushed, so that a user can conveniently operate and use the cosmetic container.
The present invention provides a cosmetic container having a push button blocked from being pushed within a regulation angle, which includes: a container body accommodated therein with a cosmetic material;
a discharge device installed at one side of the container body to discharge the cosmetic material to an outside;
a fixing member fixedly coupled to the container body and having a pressing groove and a pressing regulation step;
a rotating member rotatably provided outside the fixing member;
a first regulation member coupled to the fixing member and movable up and down;
a second regulation member fixedly coupled to and rotated together with the rotating member;
an elastic member vertically providing an elastic force to the first regulation member; and
a push button coupled to an upper side of the discharge device and having a discharge port, wherein
the first and second regulation members are formed with first and second regulation protrusions, respectively, in which the first regulation protrusion includes a first regulation ridge and a first regulation root, and the second regulation protrusion includes a second regulation ridge and a second regulation root such that the first and second regulation members are engaged with each other.
In addition, the container body may include a lower container body and an upper container body.
In addition, the discharge device may be formed as a pump that discharges the cosmetic material to the outside by pumping.
In addition, the fixing member may be formed on an outer periphery thereof with a fixing vertical groove, and the first regulation member may be formed on an inner periphery thereof with a fixing protrusion, so that the fixing member and the first regulation member are coupled to each other.
In addition, the rotating member may be formed at one side thereof with a discharge port insertion groove, and formed on an opposite side thereof with a button pushing groove.
In addition, the first regulation protrusion of the first regulation member elastically may come into close contact with the second regulation protrusion of the second regulation member by the elastic member.
In addition, the push button may be formed thereon with a pressing protrusion so as to be positioned over the pressing groove or the pressing regulation step of the fixing member by rotation of the rotating member.
In addition, when the rotating member is rotated, the second regulation ridge of the second regulation member may be prevented from moving over the first regulation ridge of the first regulation member and the second regulation member may return to an initial position, thereby maintaining a state of the push button prevented from being pushed; and when the rotating member is rotated strongly and the rotating member exceeds a predetermined rotation angle, the second regulation ridge of the second regulation member may move over the first regulation ridge of the first regulation member and the second regulation member may be rotated, thereby maintaining a state of the push button to be pushed.
According to the cosmetic container having a push button blocked from being pushed within a regulation angle according to the present invention, a fixing member is coupled to one side of the container body, a rotating member is rotatably coupled to the outside of the fixing member, and first and second regulation members are formed between the fixing member and the rotating member, in which each of the first and second regulation members is formed with a regulation protrusion including a regulation ridge and a regulation root so that the first and second regulation members are engaged with each other, the regulation protrusion of the first regulation member elastically comes into close contact with the regulation protrusion of the second regulation member by the elastic member the first regulation member coupled to the fixing member is fixed, upon rotation of the rotating member, and only the second regulation member coupled to the rotating member is rotated, and wherein the second regulation ridge of the second regulation member is prevented from moving over the first regulation ridge of the first regulation member and the second regulation member returns to an initial position, thereby maintaining a state of the push button prevented from being pushed, so that the push button can be prevented from being pushed by an undiscerning child. Further, when the rotating member is rotated beyond the predetermined rotation angle by an adult woman relatively stronger than children, the regulation ridge of the second regulation member moves over the regulation ridge of the first regulation member and the second regulation member is elastically rotated, thereby the push button is fixed so as to be pushed, so that the user can conveniently operate and use the cosmetic container.

The method of using the cosmetic container assembled in the above manner and according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In order to use the cosmetic container according to one embodiment of the present invention, first, as shown in
When the rotating member 40 is rotated, the first regulation member 50 fixedly coupled to the fixing member 30 is not rotated, and only the second regulation member 60 coupled to the rotating member 40 is rotated together with the rotating member 40. As shown in
When the rotating member 40 is released before the second regulation ridge 62a of the second regulation member 60 completely moves over the first regulation ridge 52a of the first regulation member 50, the first regulation member 50 rises upward due to a repulsive force of the elastic member 70, and the first regulation ridge 52a of the first regulation member 50 pushes the second regulation ridge 62a of the second regulation member 60 to rotate the second regulation member 60 to the initial position, thereby maintaining a state of the push button 80 prevented from being pushed.
As shown in
Then, as shown in
The operational process of the discharge device 20 will be described in detail as follows.
When the push button 80 is pushed, the stem 27 of the discharge device 20 coupled to the push button 80, and the piston support 25 coupled to the lower portion of the stem 27 are moved downward.
Since the piston 26 of the discharge device 20 comes into close contact with the inner surface of the housing 21, only the piston support 25 moves downward, and a gap is generated between the piston support 25 and the piston 26 as shown in the enlarged view of
Then, when the push button 80 is further pushed, the lower end of the stem 27 moving downward by the push button pushes the piston 26, so that the piston 26 moves downward together with the piston support 25, thereby reducing a volume inside the housing 21. Accordingly, the suction valve 22 closes the cosmetic suction port 211 by the discharging pressure in the housing 21, and simultaneously, the cosmetic material accommodated in the housing 21 is discharged between the piston support 25 and the piston 26, passes through the inflow passage 251 of the piston support 25, passes through the discharge passage 81 of the push button 80, and is discharged to the discharge port 82.
Then, as shown in
As shown in the partially enlarged view of
After the make-up is completed, when the rotating member 40 is rotated in an opposite direction, the pressing protrusion 84 of the push button 80 is positioned above the pressing regulation step 34 of the fixing member 30 to prevent the push button 80 from being pushed, and then the cosmetic container is stored or carried.
Herein, the description of the present invention is merely one embodiment for carrying out the cosmetic container having the push button blocked from being pushed within the regulation angle, and the present invention is not limited to the embodiment. Exemplary embodiments have been proposed and set forth in the aforementioned description, however the present invention should not be construed as limited thereto, and it will be apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art in that many different substitutions, deformations and modifications are available within the scope without departing from the invention.
