[0049] As shown in FIG. 4, a second locking hook 152, which has a protrusion shape and is fastened to the first locking hook 152 of the container body 10, is formed on one side of the container body lid 15.

[0050] In addition, a mirror 154 may be formed on an inner side surface of the container body lid 15 such that the user can easily apply makeup while illuminating the makeup area.

[0051] The content container 20 is coupled to the inside of the container body 10, and the first contents C1 are contained therein. The first content C1 is preferably a gel-type cosmetic material or an impregnation member impregnated with a gel-type cosmetic material.

[0052] The content container 20 includes a bottom surface 21, an inner wall 22 extending upward from the bottom surface 21, and an outer wall 23 spaced apart from the inner wall 22 toward an outside by a predetermined interval and extending upward. When an impregnation member is embedded in the content container 20, a fixing member 24 may be further coupled to the inner wall 22 to prevent separation of the impregnation member.

[0053] The content container lid 25 for opening and closing the content container 20 is hinge coupled to one side of the content container 20. When the content container 20 is coupled to the inside of the container body 10, the hinge coupling portion is inserted into the hinge insertion groove 13 formed at one side of the container body 10.

[0054] A lid handle 252 protrudes outward on the opposite side of the hinge coupling portion of the content container lid 25 such that the user can easily grip the content container lid 25, and a puff keeping space 254 capable of keeping a cosmetic tool such as a puff is formed in an upper portion of the content container lid 25.

[0055] In addition, a sealing protrusion wheel 256 is formed in the lower portion of the content container lid 25. While the sealing protrusion wheel 256 is forcibly fitted to an inner periphery of the outer wall 23 of the content container 20, the content container 20 is sealed.

[0056] The rotation dish coupling member 30 is fixedly coupled to the lower portion of the container body 10.

[0057] As shown in FIG. 3, a coupling position guide part 31 is formed on an upper inner periphery of the rotation dish coupling member 30 and is inserted into a coupling position guide groove 11 formed inside the container body 10.

[0058] An axial rotation part 32 inserted into an axial rotation hole 42 of the rotation dish 40 is formed on the lower surface of the rotation dish coupling member 30. The axial rotation part 32 includes a fastening part 322 protruding to one side and a curved rotation part 324 formed at the opposite side of the fastening part 322.

[0059] A coupling hole 33 into which the rotation shaft 50 is inserted is formed in the center of the axial rotation part 32, and a first locking protrusion wheel 333 coupled to the rotation shaft 50 is formed on the inner periphery of the coupling hole 33.

[0060] A locking groove 34 is formed adjacent to the axial rotation part 32, and the locking groove 34 is fitted with a locking protrusion 44 of the rotation dish 40. It is preferable that the locking groove 34 is formed in plural and located around the axial rotation part 32.

[0061] In addition, there is a forward/backward movement groove 36 formed on both sides of the axial rotation part 32, and the locking protrusion 44 of the rotary dish 40 is inserted into the forward/backward movement groove 36 to guide the forward and backward movements of the rotation dish 40. Therefore, preferably, the front and rear moving groove 36 is longitudinally formed in the longitudinal direction of an axis ‘x’ connecting the axial rotation part 32 from the center of the rotation dish coupling member 30.

[0062] A front stopper protrusion 362 and a rear stopper protrusion 364 are formed inside the forward/backward movement groove 36 so that the locking protrusion 44 of the rotation dish is restricted from unintentionally moving forward and backward in the forward/backward movement groove 36 of the rotation dish coupling member 30.

[0063] In addition, a first fixing protrusion 37 is formed on an outer periphery of the rotation dish coupling member 30 as shown in FIG. 3.

[0064] The rotation dish 40 is axially coupled to the bottom portion of the container body 10 to be horizontally rotatable, as shown in FIG. 4.

[0065] The second content C2 is contained in the upper portion of the rotation dish 40, and the second content C2 is preferably a powder or solid type cosmetic material. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, a pallet 48 for mixing the first and second contents C1 and C2 may be formed adjacent to the second contents C2 filled in the rotation dish 40.

[0066] An axial rotation hole 42 into which the axial rotation part 32 of the rotation dish coupling member 30 is inserted is formed at one side of the rotation dish 40, and the axial rotation hole 42 includes a fastening groove 422 into which a coupling portion 322 of the axial rotation part 32, and a rotation groove 424 formed at an opposite side of the fastening groove 422. The axial rotation hole 42 is preferably formed longer than the axial rotation part 32 in the longitudinal direction of the axis ‘x’ connecting the axial rotation part 32 from the center of the rotation dish coupling member 30. Thus, as the axial rotation part 32 moves forward or backward, the position of the axial rotation part 32 is changed in the direction of the fastening groove 422 or the rotation groove 424 inside the axial rotation hole 42.

[0067] A locking protrusion 44 is formed adjacent to the axial rotation hole 42 of the rotation dish 40, and the locking protrusion 44 is fitted into the groove 34 and the front and rear moving groove 36 of the rotation dish coupling member 30 when the rotation dish 40 is rotated.

[0068] As shown in FIG. 3, a curved elastic slit 46 is formed adjacent to the locking protrusion 44 of the rotation dish 40. The curved elastic slit 46, which is a gap having a curved shape surrounding a portion of the locking protrusion 44 from the outside of the locking protrusion 44, allows the locking protrusion 44 to be fitted into the locking groove 34 and the forward/backward moveable groove 36 of the rotation dish coupling member 30 while elastically moving up and down when the rotation dish 40 is rotated.

[0069] In addition, a first fixing groove 47 and a second fixing groove 49 are formed on the outer periphery of the rotation dish 40. The first fixing groove 47 of the rotation dish coupling member 30 is inserted into the first fixing groove 47, and a second fixing protrusion 70 of a lower plate 70 is inserted into the second fixing groove 49. Accordingly, the lower plate 70 does not spin on the rotation dish 40 with no traction does not rotate. In addition, before the rotation dish 40 is moved forward, the rotation plate 40 may be prevented from being rotated on the rotation dish coupling member 30 by the fastening of the first fixing groove 47 and the first fixing protrusion 37, and the rotating dish 40 may be rotated only after the rotating dish 40 is moved forward and the fastening of the first fixing groove 47 and the first fixing protrusion 37 is released.

[0070] A pallet 48 for mixing the first and second contents may be formed on the rotation dish 40. The pallet 48 is preferably formed adjacent to the second content (C2) for ease of use.

[0071] FIG. 8 is a partial perspective view of a compact container according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0072] As shown in FIG. 4, the rotation shaft 50 passes through the axial rotation hole 42 of the rotation dish 40 and is coupled to the coupling hole 33 of the rotation dish coupling member 30. The rotating shaft 50 serves as a shaft through which the rotation dish 40 is rotated.

[0073] A second locking protrusion wheel 53 is formed on the upper outer periphery of the rotation shaft 50 to be undercut coupled to the first locking protrusion wheel 333 of the rotation dish coupling member 30.

[0074] The outer periphery of the rotation shaft 50 is formed with an elastic slit 56 in the form of a gap cut vertically. The elastic slit 56 is easily inserted into the coupling hole 33 of the rotation dish coupling member 30 while the rotation shaft 50 shrinks elastically inward when the rotation shaft 50 and the rotation dish coupling member 30 are coupled.

[0075] In addition, a separation preventing member 60 is fitted in the center of the rotation shaft 50, and the separation preventing member 60 prevents the rotation shaft 50 from being shrunk inward, so that the rotation shaft 50 is prevented from being separated from the container body 10.

[0076] The lower plate 70 is fixedly coupled to the lower portion of the rotation dish 40 and rotates horizontally together with the rotation dish 40. A second fixing protrusion 79 is formed on the outer periphery of the lower plate 70 and is inserted into the second fixing groove 49 of the rotation dish 40.

[0077] As shown in FIG. 3, the rotation shaft 50 may be coupled between the rotation dish 40 and the lower plate 70, and as shown in FIG. 8, the rotation shaft 50 may be integrated with the lower plate 70.

[0078] Hereinafter, a method of assembling the compact container having an improved opening/closing structure for different cosmetic materials configured as described above will be described.

[0079] In order to assemble the compact container according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the container body lid is hinge-coupled to one side of the container body 10 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

[0080] Next, the first content C1 is filled in the content container 20, and after the content container lid 25 is hinge-coupled to one side of the content container 20, the content container 20 is coupled to the central inside of the container body 10.

[0081] Next, the rotation dish coupling member 30 is fixedly coupled to the lower side of the container body 10, and the coupling position guide portion 31 of the rotation dish coupling member 30 is inserted into the coupling position guide groove 11 of the container body 10.

[0082] Next, the rotation dish 40 is axially coupled to the lower portion of the rotation dish coupling member 30 to be horizontally rotatable. First, the second content C2 is filled on the upper surface of the rotation dish 40, and After the axial rotation part 32 of the rotation dish coupling member 30 passes through the axial rotation hole 42 of the rotation dish 40, the rotation shaft 50 is coupled to the coupling hole 33 of the axial rotation part 32 passing through the axial rotation hole 42. In this case, since the rotation shaft 50 is formed with the elastic slit 56, while being elastically shrunk inward, the rotation shaft 50 is inserted into and coupled to the coupling hole 33 of the rotation dish coupling member 30.

[0083] Next, the lower plate 80 is coupled to the lower side of the rotation dish 40. The first fixing protrusion 37 of the rotation dish coupling member 30 is inserted into the first fixing groove 47 of the rotation dish 40, and the second fixing protrusion 79 of the lower plate 70 is inserted into the second fixing groove 49 of the rotation dish 40.

[0084] Lastly, by rotating the container body lid 15 hinge-coupled to one side of the container body 10 to close the container body 10, the assembly of the compact container having an improved opening/closing structure for different cosmetic materials according to one aspect of the present disclosure is completed.

[0085] A method of using a compact container having an improved opening/closing structure for different cosmetic materials assembled in the above manner will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0086] FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a state of pulling a rotation dish of a compact container forward according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a state of horizontally rotating the rotary dish of a compact container according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a state in which the rotation dish of a compact container according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is rotated horizontally at 180 degrees.

[0087] In order to use the compact container according to the present disclosure, the button 12 formed on one side of the container body 10 is first pressed to release the fastening of the container body 10 and the container body lid 15, and the container body lid 15 is rotated to open the container body 10 as shown in FIG. 2.

[0088] Thereafter, the puff kept in the puff keeping space 254 of the content container lid 25 is grasped, and the first content C1 contained in the content container 20 is exposed to the outside by lifting the content container lid 25. Then, the first content C1 is stuck with the puff and applied to the skin.

[0089] Thereafter, when applying the second content C2 contained in the rotation dish 40 to the skin, or mixing the first and second contents C1 and C2 to apply the mixture to the skin, the rotation dish 40 is pulled forward, thereby unfastening the axial rotation part 32 formed in the rotation dish coupling member 30 and the axial rotation hole 42 formed in the rotation dish 40. Then, after the second content C2 is exposed to the outside by rotating the rotation dish 40 horizontally, the second content C2 is applied to the skin or mixed with the first content (C1) to be applied to the skin.

[0090] Looking in detail at the open structure of the rotation dish 40 as described above, first, as shown in FIG. 5, the user pulls the rotation dish 40 from the rotation dish coupling member 30 forward by a predetermined section.

[0091] When the rotation dish 40 is pulled as described above, the fastening portion 322 of the axial rotation part 32 inserted into the fastening groove 422 of the axial rotation hole 42 is released from the fastening groove 422 while moving forward, and as the rotation part 324 of the axial rotation part 32 is continuously inserted into the rotation groove 424 of the axial rotation hole 42, the rotation plate 40 is rotatable.

[0092] In this case, as shown in the partially enlarged part of FIG. 5, while the locking protrusion 44 of the rotation dish 40 moves within the forward/backward movement groove 36 of the rotation dish coupling member 30, the locking protrusion 44 moves sequentially over the rear stopper protrusion 364 and the front stopper protrusion 362 to be rotatably positioned, so that the rotation dish 40 does not move forward or backward arbitrarily unless the user intentionally pushes the rotation dish 40 backward.

[0093] Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6, when the rotation dish is rotated in any one direction, the rotation dish 40 is rotated from the rotation dish coupling member 30. In this case, the locking protrusion 44 of the rotation dish 40 is resiliently moved up and down by the curved elastic slit 46, and as shown in the partially enlarged portion of FIG. 6, is released from the forward/backward movement groove 36 of the rotation dish coupling member 30 to be elastically inserted into the adjacent locking groove 34.

[0094] Thereafter, when the rotation dish 40 is further rotated, while being elastically moved up and down by the curved elastic slit 46, the locking protrusion 44 of the rotation dish 40 is sequentially inserted into the locking grooves 34 located in the rotation direction of the rotation dish 40. Therefore, it is possible to adjust the rotation angle of the rotation dish 40 to be constant, and it is possible to transfer more improved rotational feeling to the user.

[0095] Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7, when the rotation dish 40 is rotated at 180 degrees, the second content C2 filled in the rotation dish 40 is completely exposed to the outside. In this case, the locking protrusion 44 of the rotation dish 40 is elastically inserted into the forward/backward movement groove 36, as shown in the partial enlarged portion of FIG. 7.

[0096] After the makeup is finished, the rotation dish 40 is rotated in the opposite direction to close, and the content container lid 25 and the container body lid 15 are sequentially closed, so that the use of the compact container having an improved opening/closing structure for different cosmetic materials according to one aspect of the present disclosure is completed.

[0097] As described above, the compact container having an improved opening/closing structure for different cosmetic materials described in this disclosure is an illustrative purpose only, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Thus, it should be understood that numerous other modifications and embodiments can be devised by those skilled in the art within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure and they will fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
