(8) Meanwhile, it is preferred that the cap 20 is formed with internal threads (not shown) on an inner circumferential surface thereof so as to seal the upper portion of the container main body 10, and the container main body 10 is formed with external threads (not shown) on an outer circumferential surface at the upper portion thereof so as to be engaged with the cap.

(9) Herein, it is preferred that the container main body 10 is provided with an adjuster at the upper portion thereof for adjusting quantity of the cosmetics 6 by contacting the bristles with the outer circumferential surface of the container main body when the bristles 21 of the cap 20 are taken out of the container.

(10) Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the scraper 32 may be provided with a concave slope 321 at a fore edge of the cut portion thereof in view of rotation to be concave in a direction opposite to a rotating direction of the scraper such that the residual cosmetics 6 remaining on the inner wall of the container main body 10 are moved downwardly.

(11) Here, as shown in an enlarged view of FIG. 4, a cross section of the concave slope 321 is formed with a sloping surface 321′ such that the sloping surface scrapes and moves the residual cosmetics 6 on the inner wall of the container main body 10 into the scraper 32.

(12) Further, the scraper 32 may be provided with a helical ridge 322 on an inner circumferential surface thereof by protruding so as to move downwardly the cosmetics 6 scraped from the inner wall of the container main body 10.

(13) Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the scraper 32 may be provided with a retainer seat 33 at a lowermost end thereof by being formed in an inwardly stepwise, with an annular retainer fitted over the retainer seat 33 and coming into close contact with the inner wall of the container main body 10.

(14) Further, the scraper 32 may be provided with an annular groove 34 at a lower portion of an outer circumferential surface thereof by being concavely formed, with an elastic sealing ring 50 seated in the annular groove 34.

(15) Meanwhile, the container main body 10 may be provided with a rotating cylinder 60 at a location below the bottom wall thereof, the rotating cylinder connected to the rotation rod 31 so as to allow the scraper unit 30 to rotate; and a rod connection hole 61 may be formed in an upper portion of the rotating cylinder 60 for receiving the rotation rod 31.

(16) Further, the rotation rod 31 may be provided with an externally toothed part 35 at a lower portion of an outer circumferential surface thereof such that the scraper unit 30 is rotated when the rotating cylinder 60 is rotated; and the rod connection hole 61 may be provided with an internally toothed part 611 at a lower portion of an inner circumferential surface thereof such that the externally toothed part 35 is engaged with the internally toothed part 611.

(17) Further, the rotation rod 31 may be provided with a stop protrusion 36 on the outer circumferential surface thereof for preventing the rotating cylinder 60 from falling off when coupled with the rotation rod; and the rod connection hole 61 may be provided with a stop groove 612 on an inner circumferential surface thereof for allowing the stop protrusion 36 to be engaged therewith.

(18) Reference will now be made to operation of the cosmetic container having an inner wall scraper configured as described above.

(19) The cosmetic container having an inner wall scraper according to the present invention is configured such that the pipe-shaped scraper 32 being cut on the sidewall is penetratingly coupled to a lower portion of the cylindrical container main body 10 that receives the cosmetics 6, and comes into contact with the inner wall of the container main body 10 so as to scrape the residual cosmetics 6 remaining on the inner wall of the container main body, whereby it is possible to use up all of the residual cosmetics in the cosmetic container.

(20) Here, as shown in FIG. 4, the scraper 32 may be provided with the concave slope 321 at the fore edge of the cut portion thereof in view of rotation to be concave in a direction opposite to the rotating direction of the scraper, thereby being capable of inducing the residual cosmetics 6 remaining on the inner wall of the container main body 10 to move downwardly when the scraper unit 30 is rotated.

(21) Herein, the cross section of the concave slope 321 is formed with the sloping surface 321′, whereby the sloping surface can easily scrape the residual cosmetics 6 on the inner wall of the container main body 10.

(22) Further, the scraper 32 may be provided with the helical ridge 322 on the inner circumferential surface thereof by protruding so as to downwardly move the cosmetics 6 scraped from the inner wall of the container main body 10, whereby it is possible to induce the cosmetics 6 moving along the sloping surface 321′ to move downwardly and it is possible to stir the cosmetics 6.

(23) Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the scraper 32 may be provided with the retainer seat 33 at the lowermost end thereof by being formed in an inwardly stepwise, with the annular retainer 40 fitted over the retainer seat 33, whereby it is possible to facilitate rotary motion of the scraper by retaining a location thereof.

(24) Herein, the scraper 32 may be provided with the elastic sealing ring 50 at the lower portion of the outer circumferential surface thereof, thereby being capable of preventing leakage of the cosmetics 6 in the container main body 10 through the hole 11.

(25) Further, the container main body 10 may be provided with the rotating cylinder 60 at the location below the bottom wall thereof, with the rod connection hole 61 formed in the upper portion of the rotating cylinder 60 for receiving the rotation rod 31, thereby being capable of allowing a user to rotate the scraper unit 30 with ease.

(26) Here, the rotation rod 31 may be provided with the externally toothed part 35 at the lower portion of the outer circumferential surface thereof, and the rod connection hole 61 may be provided with the internally toothed part 611 at the lower portion of the inner circumferential surface thereof, thereby being capable of allowing the scraper unit 30 to be easily rotated when the rotating cylinder 60 is rotated.

(27) Meanwhile, the rotation rod 31 may be provided with the stop protrusion 36 on the outer circumferential surface thereof, and the rod connection hole 61 may be provided with the stop groove 612 on the inner circumferential surface thereof, thereby being capable of preventing the rotating cylinder 60 from falling off when coupled with the rotation rod by the stop protrusion 36 being engaged with the stop groove 612.

(28) Although a preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
