DETAILED DESCRIPTION

To further illustrate, embodiments detailing a press-type cosmetic container are described below. It should be noted that the following embodiments are intended to describe and not to limit the disclosure.


As shown in FIGS. 1-12, a press-type cosmetic container comprises a tubular housing 1; an inner sleeve 2 disposed in the tubular housing 1; and an elastic mechanism 3. The inner sleeve 2 comprises a first part, a second part, and a partition between the first part and the second part; the elastic mechanism 3 is disposed between the first part of the inner sleeve 2 and an inner wall of the tubular housing 1; the first part of the inner sleeve 2 is a hollow structure and comprises a limit column 22, an elastic column 23, and an axial gap 221 between the limit column 22 and the elastic column 23; the second part of the inner sleeve 2 comprises a tube 21 adapting to accommodate cosmetics; the tube 21 and the limit column 22 are disposed on the partition and extend axially towards two opposite directions; the elastic column 23 comprises an outer surface facing the elastic mechanism 3, and the outer surface of the elastic column 23 is provided with a first stopping point 231; the limit column 22 comprises an outer surface facing the elastic mechanism 3, and the outer surface of the limit column 22 is provided with a second stopping point 222; the elastic mechanism 3 comprises an annular body 31, an elastic ring 32 connected to the annular body 31, and a reset spring 33 disposed in the first part and connected to an inner end surface of the tubular housing; the annular body 31 and the elastic ring 32 sleeve the limit column 22 and the elastic column 23; the annular body 31 comprises a first clamping point 311 corresponding to the first stopping point 231 (the two parts cooperate to form a buckle) of the elastic column 23 and a second clamping point 312 corresponding to the second stopping point 222 of the limit column 22; the elastic ring 32 comprises an elastic press point 321 corresponding to the first stopping point 231; and the tabular housing comprises a button 11 corresponding to the elastic press point 321 of the elastic ring 32.


The tabular housing comprises a first groove 12 and the button 11 is disposed in the groove; the button 11 is connected of the tabular housing via a connection belt 13. The first groove and the button are square (other shapes can also be design as needed). The hollow structure of the first part is provided with an elastic limit part having a crisscross section for positioning the reset spring. The tube of the inner sleeve comprises at least one pair of fixing points 211 for fixing a middle assembly 5, and two sides of the at least one pair of fixing points 211 are provided with second grooves 212, thus ensuring the elasticity of the fixing points. The first stopping point 231 is disposed on the outer surface of one end of the elastic column towards the inner end surface of the tubular housing, and the second stopping point 222 is disposed on the outer surface of one end of the limit column towards the inner end surface of the tubular housing.



FIG. 6 is a sectional view of the cosmetic container, in which the inner sleeve is pushed on the top of the tubular housing. Under this state, the first clamping point 311 is clamped and fixed by the first stopping point 231. When in use, press the button 11 of the tubular housing 1, the button 11 pushes the elastic press point 321 of the elastic mechanism 3 to move inwards, and the elastic press point 321 synchronously pushes the first stopping point 231 to move inwards. As a result, the first stopping point 231 detaches from the first clamping point 311, as shown in FIG. 7. Then, under the action of the reset spring 33, the inner sleeve 2 ejects outwards, until the second stopping point 222 clamps and fixes the second clamping point 312, as shown in FIG. 8.



FIGS. 9-12 show the combination use of the cosmetic container and a middle assembly 5. In FIG. 9, the middle assembly tightly presses the tube of the inner sleeve, and the elastic mechanism and the inner sleeve are clamped with one another. When in use, as shown in FIG. 10, press the button on the tubular housing, the button pushes the elastic mechanism, and the elastic mechanism pushes the elastic column. The first stopping point detaches from the first clamping point. Thereafter, the reset spring ejects, the second stopping point clamps and fixes the second clamping point, as shown in FIG. 11. And then pull out the middle assembly and rotate the base for use, as shown in FIG. 12.


The button of the cosmetic container as described in the disclosure is integrated with the tubular housing. The cosmetic container has a simplified structure and is easy to operate.


It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made, and therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications.
