DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

(7) Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(8) As shown in FIG. 2, a liquid lipstick container according to the present invention is equipped with an applicator 15 to improve applicability. The liquid lipstick container includes a receiving part 10, a feeding part 20, a lower body 30, and an upper body 40. The receiving part 10 receives liquid lipstick R therein, and has on an upper portion thereof a discharge hole 11 to discharge the liquid lipstick to outside. The feeding part 20 includes a piston 21 that comes into close contact with an inner circumference of the receiving part 10 to move up and down, a feeding shaft 22 that has on an outer circumference thereof a male screw 22a to cause the piston 21 to move up and down, and a seat 23 that extends from a lower end of the feeding shaft 22 so that the receiving part 10 is seated thereon. The lower body 30 includes a fixing portion 31 that is provided on a lower inner circumference to be fixed to an outer circumference of the seat 23, and a protecting portion 32 that extends upwards from the fixing portion 31 in an enveloping manner so that portions of the receiving part 10 and the feeding part 20 are inserted therein. The upper body 40 is coupled to the lower body 30 to surround an outer circumference of an upper portion of the lower body 30 and protect an upper portion of the receiving part 10.

(9) Here, a mounting portion 12 is provided on an upper end of the discharge hole 11 such that an applicator 15 improving applicability of the liquid lipstick R is mounted thereto.

(10) Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the applicator 15 includes an extension hole 16 that is formed therethrough to pass through the discharge hole 11, and a plurality of application holes 17 that is formed through a location under the extension hole 16 to be symmetric with each other with respect to a center.

(11) Furthermore, fluff 19 is provided on a surface of the applicator 15, with fine powder being attached to the fluff 19 to improve the applicability. Thus, it is possible to delicately adjust the amount of liquid lipstick that is to be applied to the lips. Preferably, the fluff 19 is formed by flocking the entire surface of the applicator 15.

(12) In addition, the applicator 15 is made of a silicone material to improve a feel when it comes into contact with the lips. Preferably, the applicator 15 is inclined from a peripheral region towards a central portion to easily come into contact with the lips that are curved surfaces.

(13) Further, the applicator 15 includes an extending coupler 18. The extending coupler 18 protrudes downwards to allow the extension hole 16 to pass through the discharge hole 11 and is coupled to a back thereof.

(14) Meanwhile, the mounting portion 12 includes a rotation preventing step 12a that is formed by elevating a side of the mounting portion 12 upwards to prevent the applicator 15 from being rotated leftwards or rightwards, and the applicator 15 includes a step support 15a to correspond to the rotation preventing step 12a.

(15) Further, the piston 21 includes a pressurizing end 21a provided on an upper end thereof to pressurize the liquid lipstick R towards the discharge hole 11, and a feeding hole 21b formed in a center thereof and having a female screw 22a to correspondingly engage with the male screw 22a.

(16) The pressurizing end 21a includes a contact plate 24 that is formed along an outer circumference of an upper surface of the piston 21 and protrudes upwards diagonally to come into close contact with an inner circumference of the receiving part 10.

(17) The lower body 30 includes on an inner circumference of a lower portion thereof a locking protrusion 33 to prevent the removal of the receiving part 10 during rotation. The receiving part 10 includes on an outer circumference of a lower portion thereof a locking groove 13 that corresponds to the locking protrusion 33.

(18) The upper body 40 includes a leak preventer 41 that is inserted into the extension hole 16 to prevent the liquid lipstick R from leaking out when the upper body 40 is coupled with the lower body 30.

(19) That is, the leak preventer 41 prevents the liquid lipstick R from leaking out from the extension hole 16 and the discharge hole 11 coupled to the extension hole 16.

(20) Next, the operation of the liquid lipstick container according to the present invention configured as described above will be described.

(21) As shown in FIG. 5, the liquid lipstick container according to the present invention separately includes the applicator 15 that is formed on the upper end of the receiving part 10 by flocking treatment, thus improving the applicability and allowing the lipstick to be stably applied when the liquid lipstick R held in the container is applied to the lips.

(22) To be more specific, the piston 21, which comes into close contact with the inner circumference of the receiving part 10 and pressurizes to discharge the liquid lipstick R upwards, has on the central portion thereof the female screw 22a, so that the rotary motion of the lower body 30 causes the piston 21 to move up and down along the feeding shaft 22. In other words, the rotary motion is converted into the rectilinear motion to allow the piston to be stably moved up and down.

(23) Moreover, the feeding part 20 having the piston 21, the feeding shaft 22, and the seat 23 is inserted into the lower body 30, so that the piston 21 comes into close contact with the inner circumference of the receiving part 10 to move up and down when the lower body 30 rotates.

(24) In this regard, the lower body 30 is provided with the fixing portion 31 to be fixedly coupled to the outer circumference of the seat 23. The fixing portion 31 serves to transmit the rotation of the lower body 30.

(25) Further, the upper body 40 is coupled to the upper portion of the lower body 30 to prevent the liquid lipstick R from being directly exposed to the outside and thereby being contaminated.

(26) In addition to the structure of stably discharging the liquid lipstick R as such, the applicator 15 is provided on the upper end of the receiving part 10, thus allowing a user to apply the liquid lipstick R with the improved applicability due to the extension hole 16 connected to the discharge hole 11 and the plurality of application holes 17 formed around the extension hole 16.

(27) Here, the application holes 17 are formed to be symmetric with each other with respect to the center, thus allowing a user to intuitively uniformly apply the liquid lipstick R.

(28) In addition, the extending coupler 18 protrudes downwards from the extension hole 16, so that the extending coupler 18 is bound to the back of the discharge hole 11 and forms a duct for stably discharging the liquid lipstick R.

(29) Further, the applicator 15 has on a side thereof the step support 15a, so that the step support 15a is coupled to the rotation preventing step 12a provided on the mounting portion 12, thus preventing the applicator 15 from rotating leftwards or rightwards when the liquid lipstick R is applied.

(30) Further, the piston 21 has the contact plate 24 that diagonally comes into close contact with the inner circumference of the receiving part 10, so that the liquid lipstick R is held in the receiving part 10.

(31) That is, the contact plate 24 constitutes a portion of the pressurizing end 21a and serves to press the liquid lipstick R to the discharge hole 11.

(32) Further, the leak preventer 41 provided on the upper body 40 is inserted into the extension hole 16 to prevent the liquid lipstick R from leaking out.

(33) Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed 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.
