[0069] As in the related art, if the refill container 50 is made of synthetic resin, since the refill container 50 is formed to have a constant thickness or more due to the weak strength of synthetic resin, the cosmetic containing space 51 becomes smaller.

[0070] Unlike the related art, the refill container 50 according to the present invention is made of a metal material, so that the refill container 50 may be formed to have a thin thickness, thereby maximizing the cosmetic containing space 51.

[0071] Preferably, the refill container 50 is formed of at least one of stainless steel, Fe, Al, Cu, W, Ni, Sn, Mg, Ca, Ti, Zn and Ga.

[0072] The refill container 50 is provided with a cosmetic containing space 51 and a second coupling protrusion 52 is formed on the outer periphery surface of the refill container 50.

[0073] Cosmetics are directly contained in the cosmetic containing space 51 or the impregnation member 70 which is impregnated with cosmetics is installed into the cosmetic containing space 51.

[0075] The second coupling protrusion 52 is coupled to the first coupling protrusion 32 formed on the inner periphery surface of the refill container holder 30 such that the refill container 50 is coupled to the refill container holder 30.

[0076] Although the refill container 50 is fittingly coupled to the refill container holder 30, the refill container 50 may be coupled to the refill container holder 30 through an under-cut coupling scheme or a screw coupling scheme.

[0077] Since the refill container 50 is exchangeable, the outer container 10 and the refill container holder 30 may be reused by exchanging only the refill container 50 containing the impregnation member 70 without exchanging the whole cosmetic container.

[0078] Since the refill container 50 is formed of a metal material and the refill container holder 30 is formed of synthetic resin, when the refill container 50 is coupled to the refill container holder 30, the sealing ring 60 is coupled between the upper end of the refill container 50 and the separating space 37 of the refill container holder 30 to enhance the sealing.

[0079] The sealing ring 60 has an inverse U-shaped end surface in order to enhance the sealing between the refill container holder 30 and the refill container 50.

[0080] As shown in a partially enlarged view of FIG. 5, sealing protrusion wheels 61 are formed on inner side walls of the sealing ring 60, which face each other, such that the sealing protrusion wheels 61 are offset from each other in the inner side walls.

[0081] Since the sealing protrusion wheels 61 are offset from each other, as shown in FIG. 5, the side surface of the refill container 50 is offset-pressed so that the sealing performance is enhanced.

[0082] Preferably, the sealing ring 60 is formed of at least one of polyethylene (PE), natural rubber, urethane rubber, nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) and silicon.

[0083] Hereinafter, a method of assembling a cosmetic container with a refill container having a sealing ring according to an embodiment and a state of using it will be described in detail as follows.

[0085] Then, the impregnation member 70 which is impregnated with cosmetics is installed into the refill container 50 and as shown in FIG. 6, the refill container 50 is coupled to the refill container holder 30 while the sealing ring 60 is coupled to the upper end of the refill container 50.

[0086] In this case, the sealing 60 has an inverse U shaped end surface to enhance the sealing between the refill container holder 30 and the refill container 50 and is coupled to the upper end of the side wall of the refill container 50. The sealing protrusion wheels 61 are formed on the inner side walls of the sealing ring (60), which face each other, and the sealing protrusion wheels 61 are offset from each other in the inner side walls of the sealing ring 60 as shown in FIG. 5.

[0087] Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the assembly is completed by installing the refill container holder 30 coupled to the refill container 50 into the refill container receiving groove 13.

[0088] The impregnation member 70 is pressed by a puff in order to use the contents in the cosmetic container which is provided with the refill container having the sealing ring assembled in the above-described manner.

[0089] After all cosmetics of the impregnation member 70 are used up, the refill container 50 is separated from the refill container holder 30 through the bottom of the refill container holder 30 by pressing the impregnation member 70 from the top of the impregnation member 70 in order to refill the refill container 50.

[0090] Thereafter, a new refill container 50 is pushed into the refill container holder 30 from the bottom of the refill container holder 30, such that the new refill container 50 is couple to the refill container holder 30.

[0091] When the refill container 50 is exchanged according to the above-described manner, the outer container 10 and the refill container holder 30 may be reused without dumping them.
