The casing 11 may have a shape of a hollow cylinder, and a transparent window 111 with a uniform width may be formed along a longitudinal direction. The transparent window 111 may be made as various structures to see an inner part of the casing 11 from the outside and a scale 112 may be made along the longitudinal direction of the transparent window 111. The transparent window 111 or the scale 112 may be any form to see the inner part of the casing 11. A limit protrusion 113 protruding from an inner surface of the casing 11 toward a center direction and having a shape of a ring or a strip may be formed within the casing 11. The upward movement of the pressure piston 12 may be limited by the limit protrusion 113.
The pressure piston 12 may be a shape of a linear rod to move in a vertical direction, an operating plate 121 having a circular form or the like may be coupled to the lower part of the pressure piston 12. The operating plate 121 is located within the tint cylinder 15 to move upward and downward for discharging some tint component. The upper part of the pressure piston 12 may be coupled to the lower part of the regulating unit 14 through the inner part of a controlling unit 13.
A controlling unit 13 may have a cylindrical shape, wherein an elastic unit 131 is placed at an inner portion of the pressure piston 12, and a through hole is formed for the upper part of the pressure piston 12 to pass through at a center part of the pressure piston 12. The elastic unit 131 may be a coil spring or the like to apply an elastic property and have various shapes. The elastic unit 131 has a function of moving the regulating unit 14 placed at a lower position in the upward direction.
The regulating unit 14 may be coupled to the casing 11, wherein the lower part of the regulating unit 14 is placed at an upper part of the casing 11 protruding outward for being coupled to the casing 11. The regulating unit 14 may have a cylindrical shape on the whole, and a moving plate 141 in a form of a circular plate may be formed at the lower part of the regulating unit 14. A coupling hole 142 communicating to the inner part of the regulating unit 14 may be made at the center of the moving plate 141, and the upper part of the pressure piston 12 may be connected at the coupling hole 142.
The moving plate 141 may be located at the upper part of the elastic unit 131 displaced at a controlling unit 13, and the pressure piston 12 may be displaced downwardly by applying some downward pressure on the regulating unit 14. And then the moving plate 141 can move upward by the elastic unit 131 with the upward movement being limited. The pressure piston 12 can move according to the movement of the moving plate 141, the operating cylinder 121 coupled to the lower portion of the pressure piston 12 can move up and down within the tint cylinder 15. And a portion of the tint stored within the tint cylinder 15 can be discharged outward according to the up and down movement of the operating plate 121.
The tint cylinder 15 may have a structure of storing a tint component such as a liquid or and the like, and have a shape in which the upper part is open. And tint tool 16 may be coupled to the lower part of the tint cylinder 15. The operating plate 121 can be inserted into the upper part of the tint cylinder 15 to move up and down according to the operation of the regulating unit 14. And some pressure can be applied to the tint component stored within the tint cylinder 15 depending on the up and down movement of the operating plate 121, and then dome tint component can be discharged to the tint tool 16 comprising a contacting part such as a brush, a painting brush or a cotton bud.
The tint tool 16 can comprise the contacting part such as the brush, the painting brush or the cotton bud, and the tint component stored in the tint cylinder 15 may be discharged to the tint tool 16 as a pre-determined amount. The sealing cap 17 may be coupled to the lower part of the casing 11 detachably, the tint tool can protrude outward passing through the sealing cap 17.
If the pressure is applied to the regulating unit 14 downwardly, then the pressure piston 12 can move downwardly. And then the operating plate 121 placed within the tint cylinder 15 may move downwardly to apply some pressure on the tine component stored within the tint cylinder 15. And then some amount of the tint component can be discharged to the tint tool 16 by the pressure applied on the tint component. The amount of tint component discharged to the tint tool 16 may be checked with the transparent window 111 and the scale 112. The regulating unit 14 can return to the original position by the elastic unit, and the regulating unit 14 can be pressured for an additive amount if necessary.
If the tint component stored within the tint cylinder 15 is burn out completely, the sealing cover 17 can be separated from the casing 11 to take out the tint cylinder 15 from the casing 11. And then some tint component can be filled within the tint cylinder 15 or the tint cylinder 15 can be replaced with new one. Alternatively the tint cylinder 15 can be replaced with other one with a different color. The tint component can be discharged from the tint cylinder 15 to the tint tool 16 by a capillary phenomenon or an open-close slit.
The discharging structure of the tint component will be explained below.

The contacting brush 163 may become a brush, a cotton bud contacting brush 163a, a painting brush or the like, and have a structure for the capillary phenomenon. The contacting brush 163, 163a may be protected by the protecting cap 18 when it is not used, and the protecting cap 18 may be coupled to the lower part of the casing or the guiding part 162. One or more flowing holes 181 may be formed at the side of the protecting cap 18, wherein the flowing hole 181 may become so small size that an air can pass the flowing holes 181 keeping humidity or an extra matter from passing. Some air entering the protecting cap 18 through the flowing holes 181 may maintain the pressure of the protecting cap 18 in a predetermined range and the protecting cap 18 becomes dry when the container is not used.
Referring to
If some pressure may apply from the upper part of the tint cylinder 15, the pressure opening slit 211 may become open because of the elasticity of the discharge regulating plate 21 to make some tint component flow downwardly. And then the tint component flows into a storing means having capillary tubes such as a fiber, cotton or the like. The storing means may be connected to the contacting brush 163, for example the tint component can flow to the contacting brush 163 through the pressure opening slit 211 such as a capillary phenomenon. The pressure opening slit 211 may have a shape that the upper part is a groove shape and the lower part is a shape of hole so that the tint component may flow to the tint brush 163 through the separating receiving part by the applied pressure. Furthermore, the structure according the present invention makes the tint component be maintained within the tint cylinder 15, when the tint brush 163 is not used. And the some tint component may supply to the tint brush 163 only when the tint brush is used.
While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
