(36) Preferably, an inner end of the inner horizontal extension piece 333b of the bushing 333 is formed in a round shape.

(37) A gap 39 in the range of 0.3 mm to 1.2 mm is formed between the inner horizontal extension piece 333b of the bushing 333 and the outer extension protrusion wheel 336b of the up/down movement member 336 so that the up/down movement member 336 may freely move in the bushing 333.

(38) In other words, the upper portion of the piston ring 335 is opened outward and having the close contact protrusion wheel 335a, thereby coming close contact with and being fitted to the inner side of the outer extension protrusion wheel 336b of the up/down movement member 336. In addition, the piston blade 335b is formed at the lower portion of the piston ring 335, thereby coming in close contact with the inner surface of the cylinder 331, such that the inside of the cylinder 331 is sealed by the piston ring 335, thus the pump 33 is normally operated even if the up/down movement member 336 is pressed in a state that the up/down movement member 336 is inclined to one direction.

(39) Accordingly, even if the up/down movement member 336 is inclined as the user presses a portion deviating from a center of the discharge plate 70 without vertically pressing the center of the discharge plate 70, the piston ring 335 is normally operated inside the cylinder 331, so that the contents may be easily pumped.

(40) The fixation member 40 is coupled to the upper portion of the inner container member 30 to fix the inner container member 30, the distribution plate 50, the discharge plate 60, and the button member 70 such that the inner container member 30, the distribution plate 50, the discharge plate 60, and the button member 70 can be prevented from being separated.

(41) The mount groove 41 is formed on the outer periphery of the fixation member 40 so as to be coupled to the mount protrusion 13 of the container body 10.

(42) The lower end of the fixation member 40 presses and fixes an upper surface of the step 324 of the pump support 32, and an axis coupling groove 42 is formed on one side of an outer periphery of the fixation member 40 so that the button member 70 is inserted.

(43) The distribution plate 50 is mounted on the upper portion of the inner container member 30, thereby moving the cosmetics pumped by the pump 33.

(44) The distribution plate 50 is formed at the center thereof with a discharge passage 51 through which the cosmetics pumped by the pump 33 is discharged, and the upper extension protrusion wheel 336c of the up/down movement member 336 is inserted into the discharge passage 51 from below.

(46) A control protrusion 58 is formed in front of the outer discharge hole 54 to prevent the cosmetics discharged from the discharge passage 51 from being directly discharged to the outer discharge hole 54 and the inner discharge hole 56.

(47) In other words, the cosmetics discharged from the discharge passage 51 move through the discharge channel 52, in which a part of the cosmetics passes between the control protrusions 58 and moves to the outer discharge hole 54, and the remaining part collides with the control protrusions 58 so as to move to the inner discharge hole 56, thereby enabling the cosmetics to be uniformly discharged to the entire outlets 62 of the discharge plate 60 while being dispersed inward and outward.

(48) Further, because a plurality of control protrusions are formed in the discharge channel, the area of the discharge channel 52 is reduced, thereby reducing residues of the cosmetics remaining in the discharge channel 52.

(49) In addition, the distribution plate 50 is preferably attached to the lower surface of the discharge plate 60 by using a double adhesive tape.

(50) The ring-shaped button member 70 is further provided on the distribution plate 50, in which rectangular pressure grooves 75 are formed on both sides of an inner periphery of the button member 70, and rectangular pressure protrusions 55 having an arc-shaped top surface are formed on both sides of an outer periphery of the distribution plate 50 to correspond to positions of the rectangular pressure grooves 75.

(51) In other words, when user presses the button member 70 to discharge the cosmetics, even if the button member 70 is pressed in an inclined state, the rectangular pressure grooves 75 of the button member 70 vertically press the distribution plate 50 while sliding to arc-shaped top surfaces formed on upper surfaces of the rectangular pressure protrusions 55, thereby enabling the distribution plate 50 to uniformly press a pump 33.

(52) In addition, a pressing part 72 protrudes upward from one side of the button member 70, and an axis protrusion 74 inserted into an axis coupling groove 42 of the fixation member 40 is formed on an outer opposite side of the pressing part 72.

(53) The discharge plate 60 is mounted on the distribution plate 50 and the button member 70, and has a plurality of outlets 62.

(54) A discharge protrusion wheel 64 is formed at a lower side of the outlet 62 of the discharge plate 60, in which the discharge protrusion wheel 64 includes an outer discharge protrusion wheel 644 mounted in the outer discharge hole 54 of the distribution plate 50, and an inner discharge protrusion wheel 646 mounted in the inner discharge hole 56 of the distribution plate 50.

(55) The outer discharge protrusion wheel 644 is opened toward a center of the discharge plate 60, and the inner discharge protrusion wheel 646 is opened toward an outside of the discharge plate 60.

(56) A method of assembling the cosmetics compact container having the discharge plate for evenly discharging the cosmetics configured in the above manner will be described as follows.

(57) In order to assemble the cosmetics compact container having the discharge plate for evenly discharging the cosmetics according to the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the container member 30 is assembled first, in which the pushing plate 311 is inserted into the inner container 31, the cosmetics are injected into the inner container 31, the pump support 32 is coupled to the upper portion of the inner container 31, and the pump 33 is installed on the upper portion of the pump support 32.

(58) Next, the inner container member 30 assembled in the above manner is inserted into the container body 10 having one side hinged to the container lid 20.

(59) Next, the distribution plate 50 is coupled to the upper portion of the up/down movement member 336 of the pump 33, in which the upper extension protrusion wheel 336c of the up/down movement member 336 is inserted into the discharge passage 51 of the distribution plate 50.

(60) Next, the ring-shaped button member 70 is mounted on the distribution plate 50, in which the rectangular pressure protrusions 55 of the distribution plate 50 are fitted into the rectangular pressure grooves 75 of the button member 70.

(61) Next, the discharge plate 60 is mounted on the distribution plate 50 and the button member 70, in which the outer discharge protrusion wheel 644 and the inner discharge protrusion wheel 646 of the discharge plate 60 are mounted in the outer discharge hole 54 and the inner discharge hole 56 of the distribution plate 50, respectively.

(62) Finally, the fixation member 40 is coupled to on the upper portion of the discharge plate 60, in which the mount protrusion 13 of the container body 10 is coupled to the mount groove 41 of the fixation member 40, and the axis protrusion 74 of the button member 70 is fitted into the axis coupling groove 42 of the fixation member 40, thereby finishing the assembly the cosmetics compact container having the discharge plate for evenly discharging the cosmetics according to the present invention.

(63) A method of using the above assembled cosmetics compact container having the discharge plate for evenly discharging the cosmetics will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(64) FIG. 8 is a sectional view taken along the line A-A and showing a state of pressing a button member of a cosmetics compact container having a discharge plate for evenly discharging cosmetics according to the present invention. FIG. 9 is a sectional view taken along the line B-B and showing a state of pressing a button member of a cosmetics compact container having a discharge plate for evenly discharging cosmetics according to the present invention. FIG. 10 is a sectional view taken along the line A-A and showing a state of releasing the pressing a button member of a cosmetics compact container having a discharge plate for evenly discharging cosmetics according to the present invention.

(65) In order to use the cosmetics compact container having the discharge plate for evenly discharging the cosmetics according to the present invention, first, the container lid 20 is opened from the container body 10 by pressing the button 11.

(66) Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the pressing part 72 of the button member 70 or the upper surface of the discharge plate 60 is pressed.

(67) When the pressing part 72 is pressed, the button member 70 moves downward while being inclined, and the distribution plate 50 mounted below the button member 70 also moves downward.

(68) At this point, even if the button member 70 is pressed in an inclined state, the rectangular pressure grooves 75 of the button member 70 vertically press the distribution plate 50 while sliding to arc-shaped top surfaces formed on upper surfaces of the rectangular pressure protrusions 55, thereby the distribution plate 50 can uniformly press the pump 33.

(69) In addition, when the discharge plate 60 is directly pressed, the distribution plate 50 coupled to the discharge plate 60 is pressed and moves downward together, and the up/down movement member 336 of the pump 33 coupled to the distribution plate 50 moves downward.

(70) The piston 334 coupled to the lower side of the up/down movement member 336 also moves downward due to the downward movement of the up/down movement member 336, in which the piston ring 335 comes in close contact with the inner surface of the cylinder 331, thus only the piston 334 moves downward to generate a gap between the piston 334 and the piston ring 335, so that the discharge passage for the cosmetics is generated.

(71) Then, when the up/down movement member 336 is continuously pressed, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the piston ring 335 comes in contact with the up/down movement member 336 to move downward together with the piston 334, thereby reducing the volume inside the cylinder 331, thus the cosmetics accommodated in the cylinder 331 flow out between the piston 334 and the piston ring 335, pass through the discharge paths 336d of the up/down movement member 336, pass through the discharge passage 51 and the discharge channel 52 of the distribution plate 50, and is discharged to the outlets 62 of the discharge plate 60.

(72) Herein, a part of the cosmetics passes between the control protrusions 58 of the distribution plate 50 and moves to the outer discharge hole 54, and the remaining part collides with the control protrusions 58 of the distribution plate 50 so as to be moved and dispersed to the inner discharge hole 56, thereby being uniformly discharged to the entire outlets 62 of the discharge plate 60.

(73) Simultaneously, the suction valve plate 332 closes the contents suction hole 338 formed on the bottom surface of the cylinder 331 caused by discharge pressure in the cylinder 331.

(74) Then, as shown in FIG. 10, when the pressure against the pressing part 72 of the button member 70 or the discharge plate 60 is released, the up/down movement member 336 moves upward due to the elasticity of the elastic member 337 which elastically supports the up/down movement member 336, and the piston 334 coupled to the lower portion of the up/down movement member 336 moves upward, in which an extension protrusion wheel 334a formed on an outer side of the lower end of the piston 334 lifts the piston ring 335 upward, thereby blocking the gap between the piston 334 and the piston ring 335, such that the piston 334 moves upward together with the piston ring 335, thus the volume inside the cylinder 331 increases, therefore vacuum pressure is generated.

(75) The suction valve blade 332a of the suction valve plate 332 is lifted by the vacuum pressure generated in the cylinder 331, thereby opening the contents suction hole 338 formed on the bottom surface of the cylinder 331, thus the cosmetics accommodated in the inner container 31 is introduced into the cylinder 331 through the contents suction hole 338, and simultaneously the pushing plate 311 installed inside the inner container 31 moves upward.

(76) The aforementioned description is just one embodiment for carrying out a cosmetics compact container having a discharge plate for evenly discharging cosmetics, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and it will be apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art in that various substitutions, deformations and modifications are available within the scope without departing from the invention.
