[0028] In the present embodiment, the cap part 200, as illustrated in FIG. 2, includes the cap body 210 detachably coupled to the upper portion of the container body 100, an extension body 220 provided to extend from an outer lower end of the cap body 210 and coupled directly with the elastic pumping part, a first space portion 240 provided between an upper surface of the cap body 210 and a ceiling portion 312 of the elastic pumping part 300, and a second space portion 250 provided between the cap body 210 and the extension body 220.

[0029] As illustrated in FIG. 2, in the cap body 210 of the cap part 200, a cap thread 211 is provided on an inner wall thereof to be screwed with the body thread 121 of the container body 100.

[0030] In the present embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 3, a pipette coupling portion 212 is provided at an inner central portion of the cap body 210, and an upper end of the pipette member 230 may be detachably coupled, for example, fitted to the pipette coupling portion 212.

[0031] In addition, in the present embodiment, the central portion of the cap body 210 has an opening hole, so that air in the first space portion 240 flows into the pipette member 230 through the opening hole or, conversely, moves from the pipette member 230 to the first space portion 240 through the opening hole.

[0032] As illustrated in FIG. 4, the extension body 220 of the cap part 200 is provided to extend outwards from the outer lower end of the cap body 210 to be provided as a direct coupling place of the elastic pumping part 300.

[0033] In the present embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the extended body 220 may have an “L” shape to provide the second space portion 250 between the extended body 220 and the cap body 210.

[0034] In the present embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 4, a stopper protrusion 221 is provided on the outer lower end of the extension body 220, and the stopper protrusion 221 is inserted and coupled to a wall portion 311 of the elastic pumping part 300 to prevent the idling of the elastic pumping part 300.

[0035] In the present embodiment, a plurality of stopper protrusions 221 may be provided, and the respective stopper protrusions 221 may be spaced apart from each other.

[0036] As illustrated in FIG. 4, the first space portion 240 of the cap part 200 may be provided to have a larger volume than the second space portion 250.

[0037] In the present embodiment, the cosmetic contents are sucked or ejected into the pipette member 230 by the pressing force of the elastic pumping part 300, and the first space portion 240 may provide a space in which the ceiling portion 312 of the elastic pumping part 300 descends toward the pipette member 230 or ascends in an opposite direction. In the present embodiment, the second space portion 250 may provide a space in which the air in the first space portion 240 moves and temporarily stays when the ceiling portion 312 ascends or descends.

[0038] As illustrated in FIG. 2, the elastic pumping part 300 is directly coupled to the extended body 220 of the cap part 200 to provide a pumping force for sucking or ejecting the cosmetic contents into the pipette member 230.

[0039] In the present embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the elastic pumping part 300 includes the elastic body 310 coupled directly to the extension body 220 and a protrusion portion 320 provided on the inner central portion of the elastic body 310 to structurally reinforce the elastic body 310.

[0040] As illustrated in FIG. 4, the elastic body 310 of the elastic pumping part 300 includes the wall portion 311 coupled directly to the side wall of the extension body 220 and the ceiling portion 312 provided on the upper end of the wall portion 311 and moving toward the pipette member 230 to provide a pumping force for sucking or ejecting the cosmetic contents into the pipette member 230.

[0041] In the present embodiment, the elastic body 310 may be provided with an elastic material including rubber.

[0042] In the present embodiment, the wall portion 311 may be tightly fitted to the extension body 220 or coupled to the extension body 220 using an adhesive harmless to the human body.

[0043] In the present embodiment, in order to secure an efficient pumping force while being structurally stable, as illustrated in FIG. 4, a thickness t1 of the ceiling portion 312 in a region where the ceiling portion 312 and the side wall are in contact with each other is the thickest, a thickness t2 of the ceiling portion 312 in a region in contact with the protrusion portion 320 is the thinnest. In addition, a thickness t3 obtained by summing the thickness of the protrusion portion 320 and the thickness of the ceiling portion 312 provided with the protrusion portion 320 may be provided to be equal to the thickness t1 of the ceiling portion 312. In the present embodiment, if the thickness t3 obtained by summing the thickness of the protrusion portion 320 and the thickness of the ceiling portion 312 provided with the protrusion portion 320 is provided too thin, the structure of the central portion of the ceiling portion 312 may be weakened, and if the thickness t3 is provided too thick, an elastic restoring force may be weakened, so that the thickness is determined in consideration of this problem.

[0044] As illustrated in FIG. 4, the protrusion portion 320 of the elastic pumping part 300 is provided to protrude toward the pipette member 230 inside the center of the ceiling portion 312 to structurally reinforce the thin region of the ceiling portion 312.

[0045] As described above, the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described herein, and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and the scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, it will be understood that these changes and modifications are included in the appended claims of the present disclosure.
