(9) The lid 20 is provided therein with a partition wall 22 with a nozzle hole 21 formed at the center thereof. Here, the inner space of the lid is partitioned into upper and lower spaces by the partition wall, wherein the lower portion of the lid is provided with a container coupling portion 23 for being coupled to the container main body, and the upper portion thereof is provided with a coupling grooved portion 24 for being coupled to the scalp stimulation means 30.

(10) The scalp stimulation means 30 is protrudingly provided on the upper portion thereof with a plurality of scalp stimulation protrusions 32 for preventing hair loss and promoting hair growth by promoting blood circulation and medicinal fluid absorption while stimulating the scalp when tapping the scalp. Further, an assembly hole 31 is formed at the center of the scalp stimulation means, and a plurality of medicinal fluid discharge holes 33 are formed outside the assembly hole so as to disperse and discharge the medicinal fluid.

(11) Herein, although the upper portion of the scalp stimulation means 30 is formed in a planar shape so that the scalp stimulation protrusions 32 have the same height in the embodiment, the scalp stimulation means may be configured in various structures and shapes, and it is preferable that the stimulation means be formed into a structure capable of effectively stimulating the scalp by tapping the scalp.

(12) The nozzle opening and closing means 40 is provided to protrude above the scalp stimulation means by being inserted through both the nozzle hole 21 of the lid and the assembly hole 31 of the scalp stimulation means, so as to be operated under pressure while compressing an elastic spring when the scalp is tapped. Here, the partition wall 22 of the lid is provided at a position around the nozzle hole with an inclined portion 21a having a taper shape, and a lower portion of the nozzle opening and closing means is provided with a blocking plate 44 such that an outer edge of the blocking plate (an edge where the vertical and horizontal surfaces of the perimeter meet together) is normally in linear contact with the inclined portion for tight sealing, but nozzle opening operation is quickly performed when the nozzle opening and closing means is operated under pressure.

(13) In other words, by the nozzle opening operation of the nozzle opening and closing means 40, the medicinal fluid is dispersed in all directions through the plurality of medicinal fluid discharge holes 33 formed at the circumference of the scalp stimulation means after passing through the nozzle hole 21 of the inclined portion 21a provided at the center of the lid.

(14) In particular, the nozzle opening and closing means 40 includes: a first member 41 inserted through the assembly hole of the scalp stimulation means; and a second member 43 inserted through the nozzle hole 21 of the lid and provided with the blocking plate 44 at a lower portion thereof, the first and second members being coupled together to be arranged on top of one another. Further, the elastic spring 45 is placed between a lower portion of the first member 41 and the partition wall 22 inside the lid to elastically support the first member.

(15) Here, a coupling groove 41a is formed at the lower portion of the first member, and a coupling protrusion 43a is correspondingly formed at the upper portion of the second member to be inserted in the coupling groove, so that the first and second members 41 and 43 are coupled together.

(16) Further, the second member 43 is provided with medicinal fluid discharge guide grooves 43b for dispersing and discharging the medicinal fluid in vertical directions. Here, the medicinal fluid discharge guide grooves 43b are formed at circumferentially equiangular positions on an outer circumferential surface of the second member 43.

(17) In the drawings, reference numeral 41b denotes a pressing portion formed at the upper portion of the first member 41 protruding above the scalp stimulation means.

(18) Hereinafter, the operation and effect of the present invention configured as described above will be described.

(19) Firstly, describing the assembly process of the present invention, the second member 43 of the nozzle opening and closing means is inserted into the nozzle hole 21 of the lid 20 from below the nozzle hole 21 to be coupled to the first member 41 at a position above the nozzle hole in a manner such that the first and second members 41 and 43 are arranged on top of one another.

(20) Here, the elastic spring 45 is placed between the lower portion of the first member 41 and the partition wall 22 of the lid.

(21) In this state, the scalp stimulation means 30 is fitted in the coupling grooved portion 24 at the upper portion of the lid 20, wherein the pressing portion 41b at the upper portion of the first member is assembled to protrude through the assembly hole 31 formed at the center of the scalp stimulation means.

(22) After assembling the parts as described above, the container coupling portion 23 of the lid is coupled to the upper portion of the container main body 10 containing hair tonic, thereby completing assembly.

(23) The present invention assembled as described above is used by lightly tapping scalp with the scalp stimulation means 30 while positioning the container upside down.

(24) As described above, when the scalp is tapped with the scalp stimulation means 30, the scalp stimulation protrusions 32 at the upper portion of the scalp stimulation means help blood circulation by stimulating the scalp.

(25) Simultaneously, the first member 41 of the nozzle opening and closing means protruding above the scalp stimulation means 30 is pressed and moved down while compressing the elastic spring 45, and accordingly, the second member 43 coupled to the lower portion of the first member is also moved down.

(26) As the second member 43 of the nozzle opening and closing means is moved down as described above, nozzle opening operation is quickly performed in response to movement of the nozzle opening and closing means under pressure. Before the nozzle opening operation, the outer edge of the blocking plate 44 is in linear contact with the inclined portion 21a, thus maintaining tight sealing effect.

(27) As described above, when the nozzle opening operation is performed by downward movement of the blocking plate 44 away from the inclined portion 21a around the nozzle hole at the lower portion of the nozzle opening and closing means, the hair tonic in the container main body 10 is discharged to the nozzle hole 21 through the inclined portion 21a at the center of the lid. In conventional art, the top of nozzle hole is formed horizontally, and so a medicinal fluid is not quickly discharged if the medicinal fluid has a slight viscosity like hair tonic. In this invention, even if a medicinal fluid has a viscosity, the medicinal fluid is quickly discharged by the immediate opening of line contact between the blocking plate and the inclined portion.

(28) And then a medicinal fluid is dispersed in all directions through the medicinal fluid discharge holes 33 formed at the outer edge of the scalp stimulation means to be evenly applied to the scalp.

(29) In particular, since the second member 43 of the nozzle opening and closing means inserted in the nozzle hole 21 of the lid is formed with the medicinal fluid discharge guide grooves 43b in vertical directions at circumferentially equiangular positions, the medicinal fluid discharged to the nozzle hole 21 is dispersed and discharged in all directions by the guide grooves 43b, thus being efficiently supplied to the medicinal fluid discharge holes 33 formed at the outer edge of the scalp stimulation means.

(30) Further, when the container is lifted to remove the external force pressing the first member 41 of the nozzle opening and closing means, the first member is returned to the original position thereof by being moved up due to the resilience of the elastic spring 45, and the second member 43 coupled to the lower portion of the first member is also moved up and is returned to the original position thereof. Therefore, the blocking plate 44 of the lower portion of the second member is brought into close contact with the inclined portion 21a outside the nozzle hole 21, thereby tightly sealing the container.

(31) In particular, as the outer edge of the blocking plate 44 of the lower portion of the second member is in linear contact with the inclined portion 21a having the taper shape formed outside the nozzle hole 21, sealing operation is quickly performed. Due to the ensuring of the sealing operation, it is possible to prevent the medicinal fluid from leaking as well as possible to discharge a predetermined amount of medicinal fluid.

(32) According to the number of operations of tapping the scalp with the scalp stimulation means 30 by a user, the nozzle opening operation is performed by the vertically moving first and second members 41 and 43 of the nozzle opening and closing means so that it is possible to repeatedly discharge a predetermined amount of medicinal fluid.

(33) Accordingly, the present invention is configured such that when the nozzle opening and closing means 40 provided at the centers of both the lid 20 coupled to the upper portion of the container main body 10 and the scalp stimulation means 30 coupled to the upper portion of the lid taps the scalp, the nozzle opening and closing means is pressed and the medicinal fluid is discharged. Here, the blocking plate 44 of the lower portion of the nozzle opening and closing means is normally in linear contact with the inclined portion 21a outside the nozzle hole, thus preventing the medicinal fluid from leaking. However, when the nozzle opening and closing means taps the scalp, nozzle opening operation is quickly performed so as to discharge the medicinal fluid. Thus, not only the medicinal fluid is smoothly discharged to the scalp but also is dispersed and evenly discharged in all directions through the medicinal fluid discharge holes 33 of the scalp stimulation means, whereby use efficiency is greatly improved compared to the conventional one.

(34) 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.
