The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. ยง 119 (a) to Korean patent application number 10-2023-0051690 filed on Apr. 20, 2023 and Korean patent application number 10-2023-0089920 filed on Jul. 11, 2023, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.
The present invention relates to a cosmetic vessel, and more specifically, to a cosmetic vessel including a structure capable of minimizing residual pressure when discharging the contents by increasing the pressure inside the vessel by rotating a dial.
People generally have a desire to make themselves beautiful through makeup. Therefore, people feel satisfied by making up their skin as well as lips, nails, hair, and others in various ways.
In the case of lips, makeup that makes the lips stand out from the face or dissolves dead skin cells in the lips and makes the lips smooth and plump is widely used. At this time, people use lip masks, lipstick, lip gloss, lip balm, lip tint, or the like to make up the lips. At this time, lip masks or the like not only make the lips look beautiful, but also prevent them from drying out and cracking, and have an effect of making the lips smooth and plump. Lip masks may be used on the lips depending on the type of vessel used, but depending on the type of formulation, they may be gripped by a body portion and then directly applied or may be applied by using the hands or other tools.
Lip masks are produced in various shapes, including tubes. Recently, when the lip mask is in the form of a tube, a dial is rotated to increase the pressure inside the vessel and discharge the cosmetics accommodated therein.
However, in the case of existing lip masks in the shape of tubes, when the cosmetics have high viscosity or hardness, there is an inconvenience in use that even after turning the dial, some of the cosmetics come out due to the residual pressure.

In addition, while a plurality of pressurizing protrusions 623 rotate and rise in a state of being inserted into a pressurizing guideline and move from a trough portion to a crest portion of a first wave shape may cause a head portion 71 to undergo a downward movement. Accordingly, the contents accommodated in a vessel body 21 are prevented from being leaked as the residual pressure is dissipated because the internal pressure of a vessel body 21 is decreased due to a downward movement of a head portion 71.
A coupling pillar 624 may be provided to protrude upward from the center of a rim 621.
A coupling pillar 624 may have a size to be inserted into a coupling hole 725 of a pressurizing structure portion 72.

While a pressurizing portion 7 is elevated by an auxiliary portion 6 and pressurizes the interior of a vessel body 21 to discharge the contents of a vessel body 21, upward and downward movements may occur alternately and repeatedly.
A pressurizing portion 7 may increase the internal pressure of a vessel body 21 through an upward movement to discharge the contents and may dissipate a residual pressure remaining in a vessel body 21 through a downward movement.
Such a pressurizing portion 7 may include a head portion 71 and a pressurizing structure portion 72.
A head portion 71 may be provided to be in close contact with an inner circumferential surface of a vessel body 21.
While a head portion 71 moves upwards and downwards, upward and downward movements may occur alternately and repeatedly by a pressurizing structure portion 72, which may increase the internal pressure of a vessel body 21 through an upward movement to discharge the contents and may dissipate a residual pressure remaining in a vessel body 21 through a downward movement.
A plurality of second guide protrusions 711 may be provided on an outer circumferential surface of a head portion 71.
A plurality of second guide protrusions 711 may be inserted into a plurality of guide grooves 25 provided on an inner surface of a vessel body 21 and may guide elevating and lowering of a head portion 71 according to elevating and lowering of an auxiliary portion 6.
A pressurizing structure portion 72 may be coupled to an auxiliary portion 6 at a lower portion of a head portion 71.
A pressurizing structure portion 72 may be configured to alternately and repeatedly cause upward and downward movements of a head portion 71 while a head portion 71 moves upwards and downwards and may include a first annular member 721, a second annular member 722, a third annular member 723, a fixing groove 724, and a coupling hole 725.
A first annular member 721 may be connected to a head portion 71.
A first annular member 721 may have a diameter smaller than the diameter of a head portion 71, and a lower surface thereof may form a first wave shape.
A second annular member 722 may be connected to a first annular member 721.
A second annular member 722 may have a diameter smaller than the diameter of a first annular member 721.
A third annular member 723 may be connected to a second annular member 722.
A third annular member 723 may have the same diameter as a first annular member 721, and an upper surface thereof may form a third wave shape.
The first annular member 721 and the third annular member 723 described above have a shape curved up and down by a first wave shape and a second wave shape, and a pressurizing guideline may cause a head portion 71 to repeatedly undergo an upward movement and a downward movement alternately.
While the plurality of pressurizing protrusions 623 rotate and rise in a state of being inserted into the pressurizing guideline and undergo a rotational operation in one cycle from a crest portion of a first wave shape or a second wave shape to another neighboring crest portion, the pressurizing portion 72 configured as described above may cause the contents to be discharged once.
In the above, as shown in
A first wave shape of a first annular member 721 and a third wave shape of a third annual member 723 may have coinciding trough portions and crest portions of a sine wave shape
Referring to
In addition, in a pressurizing structure portion 72, a distance between a trough portion of a first wave shape of a first annular member 721 or of a second wave shape of a third annular member 723 and another neighboring trough portion thereof or between a crest portion and another neighboring crest portion thereof may be formed to have a first distance value d1. Here, a first wave shape of a first annular member 721 may be a reference, because, even when a third annular member 723 does not have a second wave shape, a pressurizing structure portion 72 may undergo an upward movement and a downward movement by a first wave shape. In other words, when a plurality of pressurizing protrusions 623 rotate along a first wave shape of a first annular member 721 and pass a trough portion and a crest portion in a state of being inserted to a pressurizing guideline, a pressurizing structure portion 72 may undergo an upward movement and a downward movement, but an upward movement and a downward movement of a pressurizing structure portion 72 may not be implemented only with a second wave shape of a second annular member 722.
In the above description, a pressurizing structure portion 72 can effectively deal with a residual pressure difference which is dependent upon the viscosity or hardness of the contents by adjusting a first height difference value h1.
In addition, a pressurizing structure portion 72 may adjust the number of discharge of the contents and the discharged amount of the contents based on a rotation of 360 degrees by adjusting a first distance value d1 or angle (based on a circle) and can effectively deal with a residual pressure difference which is dependent upon the hardness by repeatedly undergoing an upward movement and a downward movement several times while rotating 360 degrees. Here, one time of discharge and one-time discharged amount are defined as a pressurizing protrusion 623 rotating and rising in a state of being inserted to a pressurizing guideline and moving from a crest portion of a first wave shape of a first annular member 721 or of a second wave shape of a third annular member 723 through a trough portion to a next crest portion. In other words, the contents are discharged once while moving from a crest portion to a trough portion.
Referring to
As such, a pressurizing structure portion 72a of another embodiment may have a second height difference h2, which is greater than a first height difference h1 of a pressurizing structure portion 72, so that a difference between the amount of an upward movement and the amount of a downward movement of a head portion 71 may be increased. The amount of the dissipated amount of the residual pressure inside a vessel body 21 is increased as the amount of a downward movement of a head portion 71 is increased.
Referring to
As such, a pressurizing structure portion 72b of still another embodiment has a second distance value d2, which is smaller than a first distance value d1 of a pressurizing structure portion 72, so that the number of times of discharge of the contents is increased and the amount of discharge of the contents is decreased while rotating 360 degrees. In other words, in a second distance value d2, which is smaller than a first distance value d1 of a pressurizing structure portion 72, the period of one cycle is shorter so that the number of times of discharge of the contents is increased and the amount of discharge of the contents is decreased.
As described above, as a height difference between a crest portion and a trough portion of each of a first wave shape and a second wave shape is increased, a pressurizing portion 7 may increase the amount of a downward movement of a head portion 71, thereby increasing the dissipated amount of a residual pressure inside a vessel body 21. At this time, the height difference may be in a range of 0.25 mm to 1 mm, or a specific dimension, for example, 0.25 mm, 0.35 mm, 0.45 mm, and 0.45+@ mm, may be designated.
In addition, as a distance value between a trough portion of a first wave shape or a second wave shape and another neighboring trough portion thereof or between a crest portion and a neighboring crest portion thereof is decreased, a pressurizing portion 7 may increase the number of times of discharge of the contents and decrease the amount of discharge of the contents based rotation of 360 degrees. At this time, an angle value may be any one of 22.5 degrees, 45 degrees, and 90 degrees based one cycle, and as described later, it may be any one of 9 degrees and 18 degrees. Of course, a specific angle may be designated without being limited thereto. A distance value is proportional to an angle value, and at this time, a distance value may be a distance corresponding to any one of 9 degrees, 18 degrees, 22.5 degrees, 45 degrees, and 90 degrees based one cycle, but it is not limited thereto.
Referring to
The cosmetic vessel of the present embodiment may include an upper cover portion 1, a vessel portion 2, a lower cover portion 3, a middle portion 4, a shaft portion 5, an auxiliary portion 5, a pressurizing portion 7, and a fastening means 8.
In yet another embodiment of the present invention, since the remaining features 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 except for a fastening means 8 are identical to each feature of the previously described embodiment of the present invention, the same reference numerals were used. Accordingly, to avoid duplication of explanation, detailed description of each of the same features is omitted here, and only a fastening means 8, which is a different feature from the previously described embodiment of the present invention, and parts that are changed thereby will be described.
A vessel portion 2 may be fastened to an upper cover portion 1 by a fastening means 8.
A fastening means 8 of the present embodiment may include: a fastening groove 81 provided along an inner circumferential surface of an upper cover portion 1; and a fastening protrusion 82 provided continuously or discontinuously along an inner circumferential surface of a vessel body 21 and fastened to the fastening groove 81 in a snap-on fastening manner without horizontal restraining.
In above description, when a lower cover portion 3 rotates in a state where an upper cover portion 1 is fastened to a vessel portion 2, a fastening means 8 may cause the lower cover portion 3 to rotate idle with respect to the upper cover portion 1 so that a rotational force of the lower cover portion 3 is not transferred to the shaft portion 5, thereby preventing the contents from being discharged.
In the cosmetic vessel of the present embodiment, compared to the cosmetic vessel of the previously described embodiment, the size of a vessel portion 2 may be the same but the size of an upper cover portion 1 and a middle portion 4 may be different.
In other words, the upper cover portion 1 of the present embodiment may be larger than the size (height) of the upper cover portion 1 of the previously described embodiment, and the middle portion 4 of the present embodiment may be smaller than the size (height) of the middle portion 4 of the previously described embodiment.
This allows to implement the purpose of the present embodiment, which is to prevent the contents from being unnecessarily discharged in addition to a fastening means 8, by increasing the size (height) of an upper cover portion 1 so that a user may easily grip the upper cover portion 1 rotating idle with respect to a lower cover portion 3 in a state where the upper cover portion 1 is fastened to a vessel portion 2, and by decreasing the size (height) of a middle portion 4 so that a user may not easily grip the rotating middle portion 4 in a state where the upper cover portion 1 is fastened to a vessel portion 2.
As described above, a cosmetic vessel according to one embodiment or another embodiment of the present invention may cause a sound to be generated by a sound bar 24 of a vessel portion 2 and a sound protrusion 32 of a lower cover portion 3 when a lower cover portion 3 or the like is rotated to use the contents. In this case, the sound is generated simply in a constant interval while the contents are discharged.
In addition, together with a sound bar 24 of a vessel portion 2 and a sound protrusion 32 of a lower cover portion 3 that generate a sound, a cosmetic vessel according to one embodiment or another embodiment of the present invention may be provided with a pressurizing structure portion 72, which causes a pressurizing portion 7 to rotate and rise to repeatedly and independently undergo an upward movement (discharging the contents once by pressurization) and a downward movement (preventing the contents from being discharged by dissipating the residual pressure), when a lower cover portion 3 or the like is rotated to use the contents. In this case, the cosmetic vessel may be configured so that the sound may be generated in a constant interval regardless of the number of times of discharging the contents or the sound may be generated in a manner interlocked with the number of times of discharging the contents as described below with reference to
To explain an interlocked relationship between the number of times of discharging the contents and the sound,
A pressurizing structure portion 72c may include a first annular member 721c having a first wave shape; a second annular member 722c; and third annular member 723c.
Hereinafter, referring to
In a cosmetic vessel according to one embodiment or another embodiment, each time a pressurizing portion 7 undergoes one cycle of rotational operation from a crest portion of a first wave shape provided in a first annular member 721c through a trough portion to another neighboring crest portion, any one of a plurality of sound protrusions 32 undergoes friction with a sound bar 24 once to generate a sound.
At this time, in the process where the pressurizing portion 7 undergoes one cycle of rotational operation, the contents are discharged once while moving from a crest portion to a trough portion (upward movement of the pressurizing portion 7) but are not discharged while moving from a trough portion to another crest portion (downward movement of the pressurizing portion 7).
An interlocked relationship between the number of times of discharging the contents and the sound is described in Table 1 below.
Referring to Table 1, the angle value of one cycle of a pressurizing portion 7 may be a value obtained by dividing 360 degrees by the total number of sound protrusions 32. The total number of sound protrusions is preferably a multiple of 4. Through this, the angle value may be an integer (or 22.5 degrees), which is a value that is convenient for manufacturing a vessel. In other words, the angle value of one cycle of a pressurizing portion 7 may correspond to a value obtained by dividing 360 degrees by a multiple of 4.
A plurality of sound protrusions may be arranged in a constant interval on an inner circumferential surface of a lower cover portion 3 in a number corresponding to a value obtained by dividing a sum of the number of times of upward movement of a pressurizing portion 7 and the number of times of downward movement by 2.
In addition, the angle value of one cycle of a pressurizing portion 7 may be an arrangement angle value at which a plurality of sound protrusions 32 are arranged in a constant interval on an inner circumferential surface of the lower cover portion 3.
As shown in
In the above, the present invention has been described focusing on the embodiments of the present invention, but this is only an example and does not limit the present invention, and those of ordinary skill in the field to which the present invention pertains will understand that various combinations or modifications and applications that are not illustrated in the embodiments are possible without deviating from the essential technical contents of the present embodiments. Accordingly, technical details related to modifications and applications that can be easily derived from the embodiments of the present invention should be construed as being included in the present invention.
