This present invention relates to a pump-type cosmetic container having a structure for discharging different kinds of contents and to a method for manufacturing the same. The pump-type cosmetics container of the present invention may contain different kinds of liquid contents respectively in the upper and the lower sections within a single container body, thus providing a slim cosmetic container and allowing for improved portability. Furthermore, the container and the method for manufacturing the same according to the present invention may enable cosmetics that should be used sequentially when applying make-up to be contained in a set, thus providing users with convenience.
Generally, a conventional pump-type cosmetic container has a pumping structure that discharges the contents by pumping the pumping member which is attached to the top of the container body, and a container body that holds contents, a pumping member that is connected to the top of the container body and draws up the contents by making the inside of the container vacuous and pumping the contents out, and a piston that is secured inside the container body and ascends/descends by the movement of the pump.
The above pump-type cosmetic containers can hold various contents in the different container depending on the purpose of the skin care, such as whitening cream and anti-wrinkle cream. Since the different cosmetics are sold in separated containers, users should purchase each of cosmetics that is contained in a separate container according to different purpose. Furthermore they find it inconvenient to carry all the separate containers in their bag, due to their volume.
In addition, when they go out, users should carry a lot of cosmetic containers for skin care. Even though some of cosmetics are supposed to be applied on the face in certain order, such as skin lotion followed by emulsion, they cannot provide themselves with proper skincare when they forget one or two cosmetics by carelessness. In addition, they have to check all of each container whenever they do makeup, which results in inconvenience for the users.
This present invention is invented to solve the above problems. The object of the present invention are to hold two different contents, the upper and the lower, into one container body, which makes it easy to carry due to the slim cosmetics container, and also enables cosmetics to be contained in a set so that users can apply cosmetics sequentially when they do make-up, and to provide the method for manufacturing the pump-type cosmetics container

In addition, the said container body comprises a securing protrusion that surrounds the inner side of the container body and allows the pistons 1,2 to land on safely.
In addition, the said container body comprises an air hole at the side of the middle, so that air can move in and out.
In addition, the said air hole is penetrated into the area where the said securing protrusion is formed at the side of the container body, and make either of the pistons 1,2 ascends/descends as the contents are being used.
On the other hand, according to the present invention, the manufacturing method of the pump-type cosmetic container having a structure for discharging different kinds of contents includes the manufacturing stage of the container body that has a cylinder with upper and lower ends open, includes a securing protrusion jutted out as surrounding the inner side of the container body, and possesses an air hole that is penetrated in the direction to the said securing protrusion; the stage of inserting the pistons that are inserted into open upper and lower ends; the contents filling stage in which the contents 1,2 are filled respectively through the open upper and lower ends; the stage of combining the pumping members in which the pumping members 1,2 discharge the contents 1,2 by pumping movement in the upper and lower part of the container body; and the stage of combining the button parts in which the button parts 1,2 are combined onto the top of the said pumping members 1,2.
In addition, during the said piston insertion stage, the pistons 1,2 which are inserted into the container body in the opposite directions, landed safely either on one end or on the other end of the securing protrusion, and are placed separately.
As stated above, the pump-type cosmetic container of the present invention may contain different kinds of contents respectively in the upper and lower sections within a single container body, thus providing a slim cosmetics container and allowing for improved portability. Furthermore, the present invention may enable cosmetics that should be used sequentially when applying make-up to be contained in a set, thus providing users with convenience.
The followings are explanations of the present invention in detail on reference to floor plans
On reference to from
The said container body 100 comprise a fixed-length cylinder with the upper and lower ends open, and in the present invention, the said container body 100 has a securing protrusion 110 in the middle of the inner side of the container body 100 so that the two kinds of contents are filled separately into the upper and lower sections.
The said securing protrusion 110 encircle the inner side in the middle part of the container body 100 and protrude, so that the pistons 1,2, 200, 200′ which will be described later, reach on the one base and the other base in the opposite direction from each other; therefore, now the contents 1,2 can be filled into the separated spaces inside of the container body 100.
On the other hand, with the present invention, the air holes 120 are formed at the side of the middle part of the container body 100 for the air passage. The said air holes 120 are penetrated into the area of the said securing protrusion 110 at the side of the said container body 100, and allow the air to flow in through the separated space as the pistons 1,2 are moving up; as a result, as the contents a, a′ are being used, either of the pistons 1,2200,200′ can ascend and descend.
The said pistons 1,2200, 200′ ascend and descend inside of the container body 100 as the contents are being used. With the present invention, the said pistons 1,2200,200′ reach the one end and the other end of the securing protrusion 110 inside the middle part of the container body 100.
The said pistons 1,2200,200′ separated by the said securing protrusion 110 has some space, and when the contents a,a′ in the container body 100 are being used, either of the pistons 1,2200,200′ is moved by the air flowing in through the air hole 120.
The said pumping members 1,2300,300′, which are connected respectively with the upper and the lower part of the container body 100, and discharge the contents 1,2 a,a′ outwards from the container body 100 by pumping, comprise the cylinder 1,2310,310′ that has the inflow holes 1,2311,311′ through which the contents flow in from the container body 100; and check valves 1,2312,312′, which are placed on the top of the inflow holes 1,2311,311′ inside of the cylinder 1,2310,310′ and prevent the contents from flowing back. The other structure of the said pumping members 1,2300,300′ is a universally known technology in the field of the present invention; therefore, detailed explanation is omitted.
The said button parts 1,2400,400′, which are connected to the upper part of the pumping members 1,2300, 300′, press the pumping members 1,2300,300′, making the pumping functions initiated, and form the discharging hole 400, which makes the contents discharged by the action of the pumping members 1,2300,300′.

According to
Next, the piston 1,2200,200′ are inserted through the open ends of the said container body. At this time, the said pistons 1,2200,200′ are inserted in the opposite direction. It is desirable that the pistons should be placed separately, securing respectively on each end of the safe bases 110.
As the above, after the pistons 1,2200,200′ are inserted into the inside of the container body 100, the said cosmetics contents 1,2 a,a′ are filled through the opening on the top of the said container body 100. After the said cosmetics contents a,a′ are filled, the pumps 1,2300,300′, which discharge the cosmetics contents 1,2 a,a′ by pumping action of the upper and the lower part of the container body 100, are combined.
Next, after connecting the pumping members 1,2300,300′ and the container body 100, connect the button parts 1,2400,400′, which cause the pumping action by pressing the pumping members 1,2300,300′, on the pumping members 1,2300,300′.
On the above, the process is displayed as inserting the piston 1,2200,200′ into the container body 100, and then filling the contents 1,2 a, a′; however, in the practical process, after inserting the piston 1200 and filling the contents 1 a, the pump 1300 and the button 1 are connected, so that all process of one side is completed and then go to the other side.
As stated, the present invention comprises the securing protrusion 110 on the inner circle of the middle part of the container body 100, and the piston 1,2200,200′, which, according to the use of the contents 1,2 a,a′, move to the opposite direction by the air hole 120 on the outer surface of the middle part of the container body 100. This simple structure makes the container slim, so that it is not only convenient to be carried. It can also enable cosmetics to be contained in a set and provide the user with great convenience.
