[0067] The second pump set 40 includes: a cylindrical second pump housing 41 of a cylindrical member with the upper and lower portions opened, which is coupled to the lower part of the coupling hole 52 of the pump coupling member 50, and has a stepped portion 41a whose lower part has a smaller inner diameter; a second check valve 42 of a cylindrical member seated on an upper surface of the stepped portion 41a, wherein a slit 42a is formed in the center of the closed upper surface and the lower part has an open shape; a cylinder member 43 in a cylindrical shape with the upper and lower parts opened, which is the upper part of the second check valve 42 and is in close contact the inner circumference of the second pump housing 41; a cylindrical second piston 44, the upper and lower parts of which are opened, which is inserted into the inner circumference of the cylinder member 43 and moves vertically, and the upper part thereof is expanded; a second piston rod 45 of a rod-shaped member inserted into the second piston 44, wherein a ball-shaped opening and closing protrusion 45a is formed to open and close the lower hole of the second piston 44 on the lower end thereof, a plurality of vertical protrusions 45b are formed at the upper outer circumference of the opening and closing protrusion 45a, a plurality of horizontal holes 45c penetrating toward the center from the outer circumference is formed in the upper expansion portion 45e of the plurality of vertical protrusions 45b, and a vertical hole 45d communicating from the center of the horizontal hole 45c to the upper part is penetrated; a second push member 46 of a cylindrical member having the penetrating upper and lower parts, which is coupled to the outer circumference of the expansion portion 45e of the second piston 45, wherein a disk-shaped wing 46a protrudes in a cylindrical shape on the center thereof, and a button member 70 is inserted into an upper side of the disk-shaped wing 46a thereof to be communicated with a discharge hole 71; a second coupling member 47 in a cylindrical shape, wherein the lower side thereof is seated in the coupling hole 52 of the pump coupling member 50 to press the upper surface of the cylinder member 43, the upper side thereof is put on the outer circumferential horizontal surface of the coupling hole 52, and thus the circumference thereof is coupled to the inner coupling hole 21; and a second spring 48 in a cylindrical shape, wherein the lower part thereof is inserted into the cylindrical groove 47c of the second coupling member 47 in a cylindrical shape, and the upper part thereof is pressed on the lower surface of the disk-shaped wing 46a of the second push member 46.

[0068] The second coupling member 47 in a cylindrical shape includes: a lower pressing portion 47a having a shape in which the inner diameter becomes narrower toward the lower portion, which is seated in the coupling hole 52 to press the upper surface of the cylinder member 43 and at the same time contact the outer circumference of the second piston 44; a receiving pipe portion 47b which is formed vertically upward from the lower pressing portion 47a to accommodate the upper expanding portion of the second piston 44; a protruding wall 47d protruding vertically to form a cylindrical groove 47c at the outer circumference of the receiving pipe portion 47b; and a coupling groove 47e formed to be coupled to the inner coupling hole 21 of the shoulder member 20 at the outer circumference of the protruding wall 47d.

[0069] Inlet holes 31b, 41b through which external air flows are formed at upper side surfaces of the first and the second pump housings 31, 41, respectively.

[0070] An air hole 43a is formed at an upper outer circumference of the cylinder member 43 in a cylindrical shape to be communicated with an inflow hole 41b of the second pump housing 41 so that air is introduced into the cylinder.

[0071] A shoulder cover member 22 is formed on the upper part of the shoulder member 20 in the same manner as the outer shape of the shoulder member 20 to cover it. In addition, a button cover member 72 is formed even on the upper part of the button member 70 in the same manner as the outer shape of the button member 70 to cover it.

[0072] On the upper part of the button cover member 72, a receptacle cover member 80 of a cylindrical member with the lower part opened is installed, the bottom surface of which is supported on the flange 22a of the shoulder cover member 22 and coupled to a coupling protrusion 22b formed on the outer circumference of the shoulder cover member 22 to cover the shoulder cover member 22.

[0073] The lower parts of the stepped portions 31a, 41a of the first and the second pump housings 31, 41 are connected with hoses 31c, 41c for sucking the cosmetic contents, respectively.

[0074] The receptacle for mixing different kinds of materials according to a first embodiment of the present invention configured as described above includes two pump sets, that is, the first pump set 30 is configured to pump the cosmetic contents in the outer receptacle 10 and the second pump set 40 is configured to pump the cosmetic contents in the inner receptacle 10 so that different kinds of cosmetic contents can be mixed and used simultaneously with one pumping.

[0075] In addition, the second pump set 40 is configured by inserting a cylindrical cylinder member 43 into the inner circumference of the second pump housing 41, so that the cosmetic contents are pumped less than the cosmetic contents pumped by the first pump set 30. That is, the pumping amount of the cosmetic contents in the inner container 60 is less than the pumping amount of the cosmetic contents in the outer receptacle 10.

[0076] For example, when the dilution ratio of the cosmetic contents in the outer receptacle 10 and the cosmetic contents in the inner receptacle 60 is 2:1 or 3:1, that is, it is useful when the pumping amount of the first and the second pump sets 30, 40 is different.

[0077] In addition, as the cosmetic contents are exhausted, the inner piston for the inner receptacle 90 inserted in the lower part of the inner receptacle 60 ascends and exhausts the cosmetic contents to the upper part.

[0078] As FIG. 2 is a type in which a hose 41c for inhaling the cosmetic contents is connected only to the lower part of the stepped portion 41a of the second pump housing 41, the inner piston for the inner receptacle 90 is inserted only in the first space portion 62 of the inner receptacle 90.

[0079] As FIG. 3 is a type in which a hose 31c for inhaling the cosmetic contents is connected only to the lower part of the stepped portion 31a of the second pump housing 41, the inner piston for the inner receptacle 90 is inserted only in the second space portion 63 of the inner receptacle 90.

[0080] As FIG. 4 is a type in which hoses 31c, 41c are not connected to the lower part of the stepped portions 31a. 41a of the first and second pump housings 31, 41, the inner piston for the inner receptacle 90 is inserted in the first and the second space portions 62, 63 of the inner receptacle 90, respectively.

[0081] As the cosmetic contents in the inner receptacle 60 are pumped by the first and the second pump sets 30, 40, and thus the inner piston for the inner receptacle 90 ascends, the cosmetic contents are completely pumped to be exhausted. By completely exhausting as described above, the cosmetic contents are not wasted.

[0082] As described above, while the present invention has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof in the detailed description, it is obvious that the techniques of the present invention are easily modified by those skilled in the art, and these modified embodiments will be included in the technical idea described in the claims of the present invention.
