DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0025] The configuration of a cosmetic container cap with a duo-mix function according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying FIGS. 2 and 3 as follows.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 2, the cosmetic container cap with a duo-mix function of the present disclosure includes: a body part 102 fastened to an opening of a container 202 so as to be coupled and detached; a pumping member 110 coupled to the body part 102; and a dip tube sealing means for sealing a dip tube 102c of the body part 102.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 3, the body part 102 is provided with an upper open-type chamber 102a having an accommodation space to accommodate the first cosmetic content A formed at the upper portion thereof, and a female fastening portion 102b formed at the lower portion thereof to be fastened to a male fastening portion 204 formed to be exposed in the opening of the container 202.

[0028] In addition, a hollow dip tube 102c is formed with a predetermined length downward from the lower portion of the chamber 102a of the body part 102, so that the chamber 102a and the dip tube 102c communicate with each other.

[0029] Meanwhile, the pumping member 110 is coupled to the body part 102 to discharge the first cosmetic content A accommodated in the chamber 102a downward into the container 202, and to cause the cosmetic mixture C formed by mixing the first cosmetic content A with the second cosmetic content B inside the container 202 to be discharged (pumped) after being sucked into the chamber 102a or into the dip tube 102c.

[0030] That is, in the case of the pumping member 110, a close-contact portion 112a is inserted downwardly from the upper portion of the accommodation space of the chamber 102a to the lower portion of the accommodation space of the chamber 102a so as to be in close contact with the upper periphery of the inner diameter surface of the chamber 102a in order to descend by the downward pressing force acting from the outside, and an elastic portion 112b is formed in a convex shape in the close-contact portion 112a to constitute a pumping material 112.

[0031] The elastic portion 112b is formed to extend convexly upward from the close-contact portion 112a, and by allowing the elastic portion 112b to be elastically restored upward when the downward pressure is applied, the air inside the chamber 102a is exhausted to the dip tube 102c and then external air is sucked in by the elastic restoring force.

[0032] Meanwhile, in order to directly lower or pump the pumping material 112, a button part 116 is coupled to the chamber 102a, and at least one first hook 114 is protruded outwardly as shown in FIG. 3 on the outer diameter of the chamber 102a, and the button part 116 is inserted downward into the outer diameter of the chamber 102a.

[0033] On the inner diameter of the lower end of the button part 116, a second hook 116a is formed to protrude inward as shown, so that the button part 116 is interfered upward after being forced through the first hook 114 when the button part 116 is inserted downward into the outer diameter of the chamber 102a.

[0034] At this time, a pressing portion 116b is formed extending downwardly on the bottom surface of the button part 116 so as to be in close contact with the upper portion of the elastic portion 112b of the pumping material 112 to press the elastic portion 112b when the button part 116 is inserted downward into the outer diameter of the chamber 102a.

[0035] In addition, a third hook 118 is formed at a predetermined height of the outer diameter of the chamber 102a, so that after the button part 116 is lowered by a predetermined distance from the outer diameter of the chamber 102a, the first hook 114 of the button part 116 is forced through the third hook 118 and then is interfered in order to prevent the button part 116 from being elevated above a predetermined height after descending to lower the close-contact portion 112a and the elastic portion 112b.

[0036] Accordingly, the button part 116 is not elevated further above the position of the third hook 118 by the first hook 114 interfered by the third hook 118.

[0037] Meanwhile, in the present disclosure, the dip tube sealing means is provided for keeping the dip tube 102c closed and then opening the dip tube 102c according to a user's intention so that the first cosmetic content A and the second cosmetic content B are mixed. This is to prevent the first cosmetic content A from leaking through the dip tube 102c and then mixing with the second cosmetic content B filled in the container 202 when there is no user's intention after filling the chamber 102a of the body part 102 with the first cosmetic content A.

[0038] In the dip tube sealing means, a first inner diameter 102c-1 of a predetermined length formed on the upper portion of the dip tube 102c is formed narrower than a second inner diameter 102c-2 of a predetermined length formed on the lower portion of the dip tube 102c. In addition, the dip tube sealing means is provided with a sealing part 120 loosely inserted upward from the lower end of the dip tube 102c and inserted into the upper chamber 102a, and whose lower end is formed with a relatively larger outer diameter than the first inner diameter 102c-1 to close the first inner diameter 102c-1 while being press-fitted to the lower end of the first inner diameter 102c-1.

[0039] It is preferable that a plurality of inlet grooves 102c-3 are formed along the circumferential direction at the upper outer periphery of the inner diameter of the dip tube 102c where the dip tube 102c and the chamber 102a are connected to facilitate the inflow and discharge of the first cosmetic content A or the cosmetic mixture C inside the chamber 102a.

[0040] At this time, the first cosmetic content A may be in the form of liquid or powder, and the second cosmetic content B may also be in the form of liquid or powder, and thus, in the present disclosure, the types of the first cosmetic content A and the second cosmetic content B are not limited and may be selected and changed in various ways.

[0041] The function of the cosmetic container cap with a duo-mix function according to the present disclosure configured as described above will be described with reference to the accompanying FIGS. 4A to 6F.

[0042] FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C are views showing a process of filling or accommodating the first cosmetic content A in the cosmetic container cap with a duo-mix function according to the present disclosure.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 4A, when filling the chamber 102a of the body part 102 with the first cosmetic content A, the button part 116 is directed downward, and the end of the dip tube 102c is directed upward, so that the first cosmetic content A is filled into the first inner diameter 102c-1 and the chamber 102a through the second inner diameter 102c-2.

[0044] At this time, the first cosmetic content A filled in the chamber 102a is prevented from leaking to the outside since the close-contact portion 112a of the pumping material 112 maintains a state in close contact with the inner diameter of the chamber 102a.

[0045] As described above, when the first cosmetic content A is filled in the chamber 102a, the sealing part 120 is inserted downwardly into the end of the dip tube 102c as shown. At this time, the sealing part 120 is loosely inserted because the outer diameter thereof is formed to be relatively smaller than the second inner diameter 102c-2 and the first inner diameter 102c-1, and one end of the sealing part 120 is close to or in close contact with the bottom surface of the elastic portion 112b of the pumping material 112 as shown in FIG. 4C, whereas the other end of the sealing part 120 has a smaller outer diameter than the second inner diameter 102c-2 as shown in FIG. 4B, but has a larger outer diameter than the first inner diameter 102c-1, and is elastically formed to reduce the diameter by external pressure. Thus, when the end of the sealing part 120 is inserted up to the first inner diameter 102c-1 as shown in FIG. 4C, the other end of the sealing part 120 is press-fitted to the first inner diameter 102c-1, and the first inner diameter 102c-1 of the dip tube 102c may be sealed.

[0046] As described above, after filling the chamber 102a with the first cosmetic content A and sealing the dip tube 102c using the sealing part 120, the female fastening portion 102b of the cosmetic container cap with a duo-mix function according to the present disclosure is fastened to the male fastening portion 204 of the opening of the container 202 filled with the second cosmetic content B as shown in FIG. 5, so that the second cosmetic content B of the container 202 and the first cosmetic content A of the cap do not mix with each other during storage and distribution by the sealing force of the sealing part 120.

[0047] Meanwhile, FIGS. 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D, 6E, and 6F show that the first cosmetic content A is discharged and mixed with the second cosmetic content B to be used in a state in which the first cosmetic content A and the second cosmetic content B are separately stored and distributed by using the cosmetic container cap with a duo-mix function according to the present disclosure.

[0048] That is, FIG. 6A is a view showing a state in which the first cosmetic content A and the second cosmetic content B are separated during storage and distribution, and if the button part 116 is lowered when in use as shown in FIG. 6B, the pressing portion 116b of the button part 116 presses the elastic portion 112b of the pumping material 112 downward, and at this time, one end of the sealing part 120 that is close to or in close contact with the bottom surface of the elastic portion 112b is descended by the descending force of the button part 116.

[0049] Accordingly, the other end of the sealing part 120 sealing the dip tube 102c is separated from the first inner diameter 102c-1 while descending, and when the button part 116 further descends along the outer diameter of the chamber 102a, the close-contact portion 112a is further lowered to descend to the bottom of the chamber 102a in a state in which the elastic portion 112b of the pumping material 112 is concave as shown in FIG. 6C.

[0050] As the button part 116 descends along the outer diameter of the chamber 102a, and the second hook 116a formed at the lower end of the button part 116 rides over the third hook 118 formed at the lower portion of the outer diameter of the chamber 102a as shown in FIG. 6C, the button part 116 is interfered by the third hook 118 and may not be lifted upwards above a predetermined height even if the elastic portion 112b is in a convexly elastically restored state.

[0051] Meanwhile, as described above, as the sealing part 120 is separated from the first inner diameter 102c-1 by the pressing portion 116b of the button part 116 and descends, the first cosmetic content A and the second cosmetic content B are mixed and the resulting mixture is formed, and the button part 116 is lowered as shown in FIG. 6C so that the elastic portion 112b is lowered concavely to compress the chamber 102a, and then the elastic portion 112b of the chamber 102a is elastically restored and expanded so that the mixture is sucked into the dip tube 102c as shown in FIG. 6D.

[0052] In addition, when the button part 116 is lowered again after the cap is separated from the container 202 as shown in FIG. 6E, the elastic portion 112b of the pumping material 112 is concavely deformed and the space inside the chamber 102a is compressed, so that the mixture sucked into the chamber 102a and the dip tube 102c is discharged to the end of the dip tube 102c, facilitating the use of the mixture.
