(15) The lower case 10 is formed at an upper inner circumference thereof with a coupling annular groove 16 to which the upper case 20 is coupled.

(16) The upper case 20 is rotatably coupled to the upper portion of the lower case 10.

(17) The upper case 20 guides a vertical movement of the rising piston 30 provided inside the upper case 20.

(18) A sealing shoulder 24 is formed on a lower and outer circumference of the upper case 20, in which the sealing shoulder 24 extends downward from the outer circumference of the upper case 20 while being spaced apart from the outer circumference of the upper case by a predetermined distance.

(19) The upper outer side of the sealing shoulder 24 may be curved to allow the upper outer side of the sealing shoulder 24 to be smoothly inserted into a lower portion of the inner over-cap 52 of the over-cap 50 when the over-cap 50 is coupled to the lower case 10 while covering the upper case 20.

(20) A mount protrusion wheel 242 mounted on an upper end of the lower case 10 protrudes from an outer circumference of the sealing shoulder 24.

(21) A coupling protrusion wheel 244 is formed below the mount protrusion wheel 242 of the sealing shoulder 24 and coupled to the coupling annular groove 16 formed in the inner circumference of the lower case 10.

(22) As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of second fitting portions 246 are formed on a lower portion of the sealing shoulder 24.

(23) A first operation member 60 is installed in the operation member installation groove 13 of the lower case 10, in which the first operation member 60 is coupled to the lower case 10 so as to be vertically movable, and rotates together with the lower case 10.

(24) First teeth 62 are formed on an upper end of the first operation member 60 in which the first teeth 62 are inclined in one direction only.

(25) A plurality of first fitting portions 64 are formed on a lower portion of the first operation member 60, in which the first fitting portions 64 are inserted between rotation ribs 14 formed inside the lower case 10 so that the first operation member 60 rotates together with the lower case 10 without idling inside the lower case 10 when the lower case 10 rotates.

(26) An elastic member 70 for elastically supporting the first operation member 60 is provided below the first operation member 60, in which the elastic member 70 is inserted into the elastic member installation groove 15 of the lower case 10.

(27) A second operation member 80 is installed on an upper side of the first operation member 60, in which the second operation member 80 is coupled to the upper case 20.

(28) Second teeth 82 are formed on a lower end of the second operation member 80, in which the second teeth 82 are inclined only in one direction to correspond to the first teeth 62 of the first operation member 60 and engaged with the first teeth 62. In other words, when the user grips and fixes the upper case 20 with one hand and rotates the lower case 10 with the other hand, the second operation member 80 is fixed together with the upper case 20, but the first operation member 60 rotates together with the lower case 10, wherein, because the second teeth 82 formed on the lower end of the second operation member 80 and the inclined surfaces of the first teeth 62 formed on the upper end of the first operation member 60 come into contact with each other, and the first operation member 60 is elastically supported by the elastic member 70, the first teeth 62 of the first operation member 60 elastically pass over the second teeth 82 of the second operation member 80, and thus the first operation member 60 rotates only in one direction from the second operation member 80.

(29) A plurality of fitting grooves 84 are formed in an outer circumference of the second operation member 80, in which the second fitting portions 246 of the upper case 20 are inserted thereto. Accordingly, when the lower case 10 rotates, the second operation member 80 is fixed together with the upper case 20 without rotating along the first operation member 60.

(30) A lead shaft through-hole 86 is formed in a center of the second operation member 80, and an operation thread 862 is formed on an outer side of the lead shaft through-hole 86.

(31) A lead shaft 90, which rises while passing through the first operation member 60 and the second operation member 80, is coupled to the inside of the lead shaft insertion protrusion wheel 12 of the lower case 10.

(32) A rising piston 30 is coupled to an upper end of the lead shaft 90, and a lead shaft thread 92 is formed on an outer circumference of the lead shaft 90 and screw-coupled to the operation thread 862 of the second operation member 80.

(33) The rising piston 30 is lifted by the lead shaft 90 in the upper case 20, and the lip cosmetic product 35 is attached onto the rising piston.

(34) A sealing ring 32 is formed on an outer side of the rising piston 30, in which the sealing ring 32 is lifted while coming into tight contact with the inner circumference of the upper case 20.

(35) Accordingly, the lip cosmetic product is prevented from deteriorating or hardening after external air introduced into the lower side of the rising piston 30 through the lower case 10 comes into contact with the lip cosmetic product 35.

(36) A fixed piston 40 is provided on an outer side of the rising piston 30, in which one side of the fixed piston 40 comes into tight contact with a lower end of the upper case 20 and the other side is coupled and fixed to an upper portion of the second operation member 80.

(37) The over-cap 50 is coupled to the lower case 20 while surrounding the upper case 20, so that the upper case 20 is opened and closed.

(38) The over-cap 50 includes an inner over-cap 52 and an outer over-cap 54, in which, as shown in FIG. 5, the inner over-cap 52 is formed on a lower outer circumference thereof with an elastic groove 522 such that the lower inner circumference of the inner over-cap 52 is elastically inserted into an outer circumference of the upper case 20.

(39) In other words, when the over-cap 50 is coupled to the lower case 10, a lower end of the inner over-cap 52 of the over-cap 50 comes into contact with the sealing shoulder 24 of the upper case 20, wherein a space, in other words, an elastic groove 522 is formed on a lower outer circumference of the inner over-cap 52, and the upper outer side of the sealing shoulder 24 is curved, so that the inner over-cap 52 is easily pushed outward to smoothly surround the sealing shoulder 24 of the upper case 20.

(40) Accordingly, when the over-cap 50 is coupled to the lower case 10, the lip cosmetic product can be prevented from deteriorating or hardening after the external air introduced between the lower case 10 and the over-cap 50 comes into contact with the lip cosmetic product 35.

(41) In addition, a sealing protrusion wheel 524 protrudes from an inner circumference of the inner over-cap 52 of the over-cap 50 and comes into tight contact with the outer circumference of the sealing shoulder 24 of the upper case 20.

(42) An inner diameter of the sealing protrusion wheel 524 of the inner over-cap 52 may be smaller than an outer diameter of the sealing shoulder 24, in which, preferably, that the inner diameter of the sealing protrusion wheel 524 of the inner over-cap 52 is smaller than the outer diameter of the sealing shoulder 24 by 0.02 mm to 0.5 mm. In other words, when the inner diameter of the sealing protrusion wheel 524 of the inner over-cap 52 is larger than or equal to the outer diameter of the sealing shoulder 24, because a gap is formed between the sealing protrusion wheel 524 of the inner over-cap 52 and the sealing shoulder 24, or the sealing protrusion wheel 524 of the inner over-cap 52 fails to elastically hold the sealing shoulder 24 of the upper case 20, the sealing capability deteriorates.

(43) An inner cap 56 is further provided on the upper side of the upper case 20 to improve the sealing capability of the lip cosmetic case.

(44) The inner cap 56 is coupled while surrounding an upper portion of the upper case, and an upper end of the inner cap 56 is pressed by the inner over-cap 52 of the over-cap 50 when the over-cap 50 is coupled to the lower case 10.

(45) A blocking plate 562 is formed at an upper inner side of the inner cap 56, in which the blocking plate 562 is inclined in one direction, thereby coming into close contact with the upper end of the upper case 20.

(46) An assembling method of the airtight lip cosmetic case having improved sealing capability configured in the above manner will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(47) To assemble the airtight lip cosmetic case having improved sealing capability according to the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the elastic member 70 and the first operation member 60 are installed inside the lower case 10, in which the elastic member 70 is inserted into the elastic member installation groove 15 of the lower case 10, and the first fitting portions 64 of the first operation member 60 is inserted between the rotation ribs 14 of the lower case 10.

(48) Next, after the second operation member 80 is screw-coupled to the lead shaft 90, the lead shaft 90 and the second operation member 80 are coupled to the operation member installation groove 13 of the lower case 10, in which the lead shaft 90 is inserted into the lead shaft insertion protrusion wheel 12 of the lower case 10, so that the second teeth 82 of the second operation member 80 are engaged with the first teeth 62 of the first operation member 60.

(49) Next, after the inner cap 56 is coupled to the upper side of the upper case 20, the upper case 20 is turned upside down, contents of the lip cosmetic product 35 are injected from the lower side of the upper case 20, the rising piston 30 is coupled, and the contents of the lip cosmetic product 35 are solidified.

(50) Next, the fixed piston 40 is inserted into the lower case 10 and coupled to the upper portion of the second operation member 80, and the upper case 20 assembled in the above manner is coupled to the upper portion of the lower case 10, in which the coupling protrusion wheel 244 of the upper case 20 is coupled to the coupling annular groove 16 of the lower case 10, and the rising piston 30 is coupled to the upper portion of the lead shaft 90.

(51) Finally, after the over-cap 50 is assembled by coupling the inner over-cap 52 to the inside of the outer over-cap 54, the over-cap 50 is coupled to the upper portion of the lower case 10, so that the assembly of the airtight lip cosmetic case having improved sealing capability according to the present invention is finished.

(52) A method of using the airtight lip cosmetic case having improved sealing capability and assembled in the above manner will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(53) FIG. 6 is a sectional view showing that an over-cap is separated from an inner cap of the lip cosmetic case according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 is a sectional view showing that a lower case of a lip cosmetic case is rotated to eject a lip cosmetic product according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing that a user makes up with a lip cosmetic product protruding from a lip cosmetic case according to an embodiment of the present invention.

(54) To use the airtight lip cosmetic case having improved sealing capability according to the present invention, first, as shown in FIG. 6, the over-cap 50 and the inner cap 56 are sequentially separated from the lower case 10.

(55) Then, as shown in FIG. 7, when the upper case 20 is held and fixed by one hand and the lower case 10 is rotated by the other hand, the second operation member 80 is fixed together with the upper case 20, but the first operation member 60 rotates together with the lower case 10.

(56) At this time, because the second teeth 82 formed on the lower end of the second operation member 80 and the inclined surfaces of the first teeth 62 formed on the upper end of the first operation member 60 come into contact with each other, and the first operation member 60 is elastically supported by the elastic member 70, the first teeth 62 of the first operation member 60 elastically pass over the second teeth 82 of the second operation member 80, and thus the first operation member 60 rotates with respect to the second operation member 80.

(57) When the lower case 10 and the first operation member 60 rotate, the lead shaft 90 provided inside the lower case 10 also rotates together, in which the lead shaft 90 is screw-coupled to the second operation member 80 fixed to the upper case 20 so that the lead shaft 90 gradually rises while rotating.

(58) Accordingly, the rising piston 30 coupled to the upper portion of the lead shaft 90 rises while coming into tight contact with the inner circumference of the upper case 20, and the lip cosmetic product 35 attached to the upper portion of the rising piston 30 also rises, so that an upper portion of the lip cosmetic product 35 is exposed to the upper side of the upper case 20.

(59) Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the lip make-up is performed using the lip cosmetic product 35 exposed to the outside.

(60) After the make-up is completed, the inner cap 56 and the over-cap 50 are coupled to the lower case 10 to store or carry the lip cosmetic case.

(61) When the over-cap 50 is coupled to the lower case 10 while covering the upper case 20, a lower end of the inner over-cap 52 of the over-cap 50 comes into contact with the sealing shoulder 24 of the upper case 20. At this time, a space, in other words, an elastic groove 522 is formed on a lower outer circumference of the inner over-cap 52, and the upper outer side of the sealing shoulder 24 is curved, so that the inner over-cap 52 is easily pushed outward to smoothly surround the sealing shoulder 24 of the upper case 20.

(62) Accordingly, the lip cosmetic product can be prevented from deteriorating or hardening after the external air introduced between the lower case 10 and the over-cap 50 comes into contact with the lip cosmetic product 35.

(63) Herein, the description of the present invention is merely one embodiment for carrying out the airtight lip cosmetic case having improved sealing capability, and the present invention is not limited to the embodiment. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art in that various different substitutions, deformations and modifications are available within the scope without departing from the invention.
