COSMETIC CONTAINER PROVIDED WITH DUAL MESH COMPOSED OF DISCHARGE MESH AND ELASTIC MESH

Abstract

The present invention relates to a cosmetic container provided with a dual mesh composed of a discharge mesh and an elastic mesh and, more particularly, a cosmetic container provided with a dual mesh composed of a discharge mesh and an elastic mesh, wherein liquid phase or a phase contents are stored inside a content container, and the dual mesh composed of the discharge mesh and the elastic mesh is formed above the content container. Discharge holes of the elastic mesh are formed larger than those of the discharge mesh to increase the permeability of the contents through the elastic mesh, and the discharge holes of the discharge mesh are formed smaller than those of the elastic mesh to decrease the permeability of the contents through the discharge mesh. Therefore, when a user compresses the discharge mesh and the elastic mesh with a puff, a large amount of the contents stored in the content container are discharged through the coarsely woven elastic mesh, and the contents are then evenly discharged throughout the entirety of the densely woven discharge mesh such that the contents are uniformly applied onto an application surface of the puff, thus preventing makeup from clumping and improving the convenience of using the makeup.

[0042] A cosmetic container provided with a dual mesh composed of a discharge mesh and an elastic mesh according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a content container 10 in which contents are stored, and a dual mesh 20 that discharges the contents stored in the content container to an outside as pressure is applied thereto and includes a discharge mesh 22 and an elastic mesh 24, wherein discharge holes formed in the discharge mesh 22 may be relatively smaller than discharge holes formed in the elastic mesh, so that, when the dual mesh 20 is pressed, the contents stored in the content container may be primarily passed through the elastic mesh 24 and secondarily discharged uniformly to an entire surface of the discharge mesh 22 having the discharge holes with relatively small sizes.

[0043] Liquid-phase or gel-phase contents may be stored in the content container 10.

[0044] The content container 10 may include an inner wall 12 and an outer wall 14 spaced apart from the inner wall 12 by a predetermined distance and extending upward.

[0045] A frame 40 may be coupled to an outer periphery of the inner wall 12 of the content container 10 and a first hinge portion 16 may be provided at one side of the outer wall 14.

[0046] The content container 10 may be hinged with a content container lid 30 for opening and closing the content container 10.

[0047] A puff receiving groove 32 capable of storing a puff P may be formed in an upper portion of the content container lid 30 and a lid grip 34 may protrude outward from one side of the content container lid 30 to allow a user to easily open and close the content container lid 30.

[0048] A second hinge portion 36 may be provided on an opposite side of the lid grip 34 of the content container lid 30 and may be hinged to the first hinge portion 16 of the content container 10.

[0049] A sealing wheel 38 may extend downward from the content container lid 30, in which the sealing wheel 38 may adhere to an inner periphery of an outer wall 14 of the content container 10 when the content container lid 30 is closed, thereby tightly sealing the content container 10.

[0050] The content container 10 may be coupled to the inside of a container body 50 as shown in FIG. 4.

[0051] A container lid 60 may be hinged to one side of the container body 50 to open or close the container body 50.

[0052] A button 52 may be provided on a front surface of the container body 50 and a latching protrusion 522 may protrude from an upper portion of the button 52.

[0053] A hook 62 in the form of a protrusion may be provided on the front surface of the container lid 60 so as to be fastened to the latching protrusion 522 of the button 52.

[0054] A mirror 64 may be provided inside the container lid 60 to allow the user to easily perform the makeup.

[0055] The dual mesh 20 may discharge the contents stored in the content container 10 to the outside as the pressure is applied from the puff P.

[0056] The dual mesh 20 may be formed of a fabric, that is, a woven cloth which is provided by alternately weaving a warp (warp yarn) and a weft (weft yarn) such that the warp and weft cross each other.

[0057] As shown in FIG. 6, when the dual mesh 20 is pressed with a makeup tool such as the puff P, the dual mesh 20 is expanded while being pressed downward so that the contents stored in the content container 10 may be discharged to the outside through discharge holes formed between the warp and weft. Accordingly, only the contents discharged from the content container 10 may be put on the surface of the puff P, and the puff P does not make contact with the contents stored in the content container 10, so that the contents stored in the content container 10 may not be contaminated by the bacteria and waste materials on the puff (P).

[0058] The dual mesh 20 may be composed of the discharge mesh 22 and the elastic mesh 24 and the discharge mesh 22 and the elastic mesh 24 may be formed in a stack structure.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 4, the discharge holes formed in the discharge mesh 22 of the dual mesh 20 may be relatively small, and the discharge holes formed in the elastic mesh 24 may be relatively large.

[0060] Therefore, when the dual mesh 20 is pressed, the contents stored in the content container 10 may primarily pass through the elastic mesh 24 having the discharge holes with a relatively large size, and then pass through the discharge mesh 22 having the discharge holes with a relatively small size so that the contents may be evenly discharged to the entire surface of the discharge mesh 22.

[0061] In other words, according to the present invention, the dual mesh 20 may be connected to an upper portion of the content container 10, in which the elastic mesh 24 of the dual mesh 20 may be formed with the discharge holes having a relatively large size to increase the permeability of the contents and the discharge mesh 22 may be formed with the discharge holes having a relatively small to lower the permeability of the contents. Thus, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 6, when the dual mesh 20 is pressed, the contents passing through the large discharge holes of the elastic mesh 24 may be discharged and distributed again through the small discharge holes of the discharge mesh 22 so that the contents may be evenly discharged to the entire upper surface of the discharge mesh 22.

[0062] In addition, the discharge mesh 22 of the dual mesh 20 may have the structure in which the discharge holes are densely woven and the elastic mesh 24 may have the structure in which the discharge holes are coarsely woven. The elastic mesh 24 may serve to supplement the elasticity of the discharge mesh 22 below the discharge mesh 22.

[0063] That is, after using the contents which are discharged by pressing the discharge mesh 22 and the elastic mesh 24, if the force applied to the discharge mesh 22 is released, external air may flow into the discharge holes of the discharge mesh 22 to restore the discharge mesh 22 to its original state. However, due to the high viscosity of the contents remaining in the discharge holes of the discharge mesh 22, the contents may not be easily introduced into the contents container 10 together with the external air so that the discharge mesh 22 may be sagged downward.

[0064] In this case, since the elastic mesh 24 formed below the discharge mesh 22 pushes up the discharge mesh 22 upward, the discharge mesh 22 may be elastically restored to its original state and tightly maintained. In addition, since the contents do not exist in the discharge holes of the discharge mesh 22, the contents may be blocked from the outside by the discharge mesh and the elastic mesh 24, so that the contents may not be contaminated.

[0065] In addition, since the discharge mesh 22 of the dual mesh is densely woven, the liquid-phase or gel-phase contents stored in the content container 10 may not be discharged to the outside unless the dual mesh 20 is pressed by the user, so that the sanitary and convenience of the cosmetic container may be improved.

[0066] The sizes of the discharge holes formed in the discharge mesh 22 and the elastic mesh 24 may vary depending on the viscosity of the contents stored in the content container 10. For example, when the viscosity of the contents stored in the content container 10 is low, the discharge holes formed in the discharge mesh 22 and the elastic mesh 24 may have smaller sizes. In contrast, when the viscosity of the contents stored in the content container 10 is high, the discharge holes formed in the discharge mesh 22 and the elastic mesh 24 may have larger sizes.

[0067] The discharge mesh 22 and the elastic mesh 24 of the dual mesh 20 may be bonded to the frame 40 so that the discharge mesh and the elastic mesh 24 may be kept in close contact with each other.

[0068] That is, as shown in FIG. 5, according to the present invention, the discharge mesh 22 and the elastic mesh 24 may be bonded to the frame 40, so that the discharge mesh 22 and the elastic mesh 24 may be kept in close contact with each other without forming a space between the discharge mesh 22 and the elastic mesh 24 even when the discharge mesh 22 and the elastic mesh 24 are used for a long period of time, so that the contents stored in the content container 10 may not be easily contaminated because the exposure of the contents stored in the content container 10 to the outside may be minimized.

[0069] In addition, it is advantageous to tightly stretch the discharge mesh 22 and the elastic mesh 24 of the dual mesh 20 when they are bonded to the frame 40 such that the discharge mesh 22 and the elastic mesh 24 can be prevented from being sagged downward.

[0070] When the dual mesh 20 is used for a long period of time, the dual mesh 20 may be sagged inward of the content container 10 due to the weight of the contents to be impregnated into the dual mesh 20, the surface tension of the contents stored in the content container 10, and the repetition of the pressure application. According to the present invention, in order to compensate for the sagging phenomenon, the discharge mesh 22 and the elastic mesh 24 may be bonded to the frame 40 in a state in which the discharge mesh 22 and the elastic mesh 24 are tightly stretched in a dual structure.

[0071] The discharge mesh 22 and the elastic mesh 24 of the dual mesh 20 may be bonded to a ring-shaped frame 40.

[0072] The frame 40 may include a bonding portion 42 extending inward and a coupling portion 44 extending downward from the bonding portion 42.

[0073] The dual mesh 20 may be bonded to the bonding portion 42 of the frame 40 through ultrasonic bonding, high frequency bonding, thermal bonding, or adhesive bonding.

[0074] The coupling portion 44 of the frame 40 may be coupled to an outer periphery of the inner wall 12 of the content container 10. The frame 40 and the content container 10 may be connected to each other in various ways such as undercut coupling, screw coupling or press fitting.

[0075] FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view showing a state in which characters or images are formed in the elastic mesh of the cosmetic container according to the present invention.

[0076] According to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7, characters or images may be formed on the elastic mesh 24 of the dual mesh 20.

[0077] The characters or images may be formed on the elastic mesh by an embroidery method or a printing method, and the characters or images formed on the elastic mesh 24 may be gently expressed to the outside through the discharge holes of the discharge mesh 22 to enhance the aesthetic feeling.

[0078] A method of assembling and using the cosmetic container having the dual mesh composed of the discharge mesh and the elastic mesh constructed as described above will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0079] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in order to assemble the cosmetic container having the dual mesh made composed of the discharge mesh and the elastic mesh according to one embodiment of the present invention, the content container lid 30 may be hinged to one side of the content container 10, and the content container 10 may be filled with the liquid-phase or gel-phase cosmetic material.

[0080] Next, the discharge mesh 22 and the elastic mesh 24 are bonded to a lower surface of the bonding portion 42 of the frame by ultrasonic bonding, high frequency bonding, thermal bonding, or adhesive bonding. In this case, it is advantageous to tightly stretch the discharge mesh 22 and the elastic mesh 24 when they are bonded to the frame 40.

[0081] Then, the frame 40, to which the discharge mesh 22 and the elastic mesh 24 are bonded as described above, may be fitted into the inner wall 12 of the content container 10.

[0082] Next, the content container 10 may be mounted inside the container body 50 where the container lid 60 is hinged to one side of the container body 50.

[0083] Finally, the container lid 60 may be closed to complete the assembling work for the cosmetic container having the dual mesh composed of the discharge mesh and the elastic mesh according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0084] In order to use the cosmetic container having the dual mesh composed of the discharge mesh and the elastic mesh assembled as described above, the container lid 60 may be first opened by pressing the button 52 formed on the front surface of the container body 50, then, as shown in FIG. 5, the content container lid 30 may be opened by rotating the content container lid 30 from the content container 10.

[0085] Then, the discharge mesh 22 of the dual mesh 20 is pressed by the makeup tool such as the puff P, so that the dual mesh 20 may be pressed down. Thus, the contents stored in the content container 10 may pass through the discharge holes formed in the elastic mesh 24, and then, may be discharged to the outside through the discharge holes formed in the discharge mesh 22 so that the contents are put on the surface of the puff P.

[0086] That is, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 6, the contents stored in the content container 10 may be first introduced into the large-size discharge holes formed in the elastic mesh 24, then, distributed to the small-size discharge holes formed in the discharge mesh 22 to pass through the small-size discharge holes formed in the discharge mesh 22, so that the contents may be uniformly discharged to the entire upper surface of the discharge mesh 22.

[0087] Then, when the pressure applied to the dual mesh 20 is released, the elastic force of the discharge mesh 22 may be increased by the elastic mesh 24 so that the discharge mesh 22 may be elastically restored to its original state while being tightly maintained without sagging downward together with the contents.

[0088] In this state, the makeup may be performed by using the puff P. After the makeup has been completed, the container lid 20 may be closed to complete the use of the cosmetic container having the dual mesh composed of the discharge mesh and the elastic mesh according to the present invention.

[0089] As described above, the present invention is only one embodiment for carrying out a cosmetic container having a dual mesh composed of a discharge mesh and an elastic mesh, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
