FIG. 3 is an assembled cross-sectional view illustrating an operational state of a dispenser container having a retractable button according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0026] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a dispenser container having a retractable button according to an exemplary embodiment includes a container body 100, a pumping member 200, and a fixation body 300, a pumping guide member 400, a rotation body 500, an ascending/descending member 600, and a button part 700.

[0027] The container body 100, where contents are stored, is provided with a discharge part 110 coupled with a fixation body 300 and discharge contents at the upper portion thereof, and is provided with a piston 120 moving up according to the contents use at the inner side thereof.

[0028] The pumping member 200 is fixed by the fixation body 300 at the upper portion of the container body 100, and discharges the contents stored in the container body 100 by means of pumping operation according to the pressurization of the button part 700. Since the pumping member 200 disclosed in the described embodiments belongs to the well-known art, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0029] The fixation body 300, coupled to the discharge part 110 of the container body 100 and guiding the ascending/descending member 600 to ascend and descend, is provided with a coupling part 310 which has a hollow at the inner center portion thereof for being coupled to the discharge part 110.

[0030] In the presently described embodiments, it is characterized in that at the outer circumferential surface of the fixation body 300 is formed a spiral groove 320 which moves an ascending/descending member 600 up and down. A guide protrusion 610 of the ascending/descending member 600 is coupled at the spiral groove 320 and moves. it is preferable that the spiral groove 320 should be formed with a pair which correspond to each other at both sides for a guide protrusion 610 for being capable of moving stably.

[0031] In addition, a protrusion 321 is provided at the top end point of the spiral groove 320 such that a user can recognize this when the guide protrusion 610 enters the direct part of the pumping guide groove 330 in a state of the guide protrusion 610 moving up along the spiral groove 320.

[0032] Meanwhile, in the presently described embodiments, it is characterized in that at the dead end of the spiral groove 320 is formed a pumping guide groove 330 which extends downwards from the top end point of the spiral groove 320. As the pumping guide groove 330 is formed, a space formed by a guide protrusion 610 moves up and down by the pressure and release of the button part 700 in a state of the button part 700 ascending, thereby making the pumping operation of the pumping member 200 possible.

[0033] The pumping guide member 400 is coupled to the upper portion of the pumping member 200 and delivers the pressure by user's pressurization to the pumping member 200, thereby guiding the pumping operation of the pumping member 200. The pumping member 200 is provided with a contents movement tube 420 which is coupled to the upper portion of the pumping member 200 and moves the contents such that the contents can be moved to a contents discharge out 710 by the pumping operation of the pumping member 200, and at the side surface thereof is provided a contents movement hole 410 which is connected to the contents movement tube 420.

[0034] In the presently described embodiments, at the pumping guide member 400 is provided a pressurization plate 430 pressurized by a pressurization protrusion 650 of the ascending/descending member 600, wherein the pressurization plate 430 extends to both sides, with the contents movement tube 420 as the center, for being able to be pressurized by a pair of the pressurization protrusion 650. A contents movement passage 431 is provided at the inner side of the pressurization plate 430 extending to the direction, where the contents movement hole 410 is formed, so as to connect the contents movement tube 420 and the contents movement hole 410.

[0035] The rotation body 500, encasing the fixation body 300 and rotatably coupled at the upper portion of the container body 100, is provided with a hollow 520 such that the button part 700 can be inserted and moved up and down.

[0036] In the presently described embodiments, it is characterized in that a vertical guide groove 510, formed longitudinally from the upper portion to the lower portion thereof at the inner circumferential surface of the rotation body 500, can guide a guide protrusion 610 of the ascending/descending member 600 to move vertically by means of the vertical guide groove 510, thereby performing a vertical movement of the ascending/descending member 600.

[0037] The ascending/descending member 600 is configured to be disposed as encasing the pumping guide member 400 at the inner side of the rotation body 500 and to move up and down by rotation of the rotation body 500. In the presently described embodiments, at both sides of the outer circumferential surface of the ascending/descending member 600 is formed a guide protrusion 610 which is inserted into the spiral groove 320 and the vertical guide groove 510 for guiding the ascent and descent of the ascending/descending member 600.

[0038] The guide protrusion 610 is configured to move up the ascending/descending member 600 as ascending along the spiral groove 320 and the vertical guide groove 510 when the rotation body 500 rotates to the one side, and to move down the ascending/descending member 600 as descending along the spiral groove 320 and the vertical guide groove 510 when the rotation body 500 rotates to the other side.

[0039] Meanwhile, it is characterized in that at the side of the ascending/descending member 600 is formed a communication hole 630 which is connected with the contents movement hole 410 of the pumping guide member 400. The communication hole 630 is cornerwise disposed to the contents movement hole 410 in a state of the ascending/descending member 600 descending, and is connected with the contents movement hole 410 in a state of the ascending/descending member 600 ascending. Due to this, it is possible that contents discharged through the contents movement hole 410 can move to the contents discharge outlet 710 only when the ascending/descending member 600 ascends, therefore capable of basically preventing the contents, while being stored, from being discharged.

[0040] Furthermore, it is characterized in that a contents movement groove 640 which guides for the contents to move to the contents movement outlet 710 is formed at the ascending/descending member 600, wherein the contents movement groove 640 is configured to form a space where contents move longitudinally along the side surface of the ascending/descending member 600 from the upper portion of the communication hole 630.

[0041] Furthermore, at the inner upper side of the ascending/descending member 600 is provided a pressurization protrusion 650 pressurizing the pumping guide member 400. In the presently described embodiments, it is characterized in that the pressurization protrusion 650, as illustrated in FIG. 4, is disposed at the lower portion of the pressurization plate 430 in a state of the ascending/descending member 600 descending, and is secured to the upper end of the pressurization plate 430 in a state of the ascending/descending member 600 ascending to the top end by rotation thereof. When a user pressurizes the button part 700 in a state of the ascending/descending member 600 ascending, the pressurization protrusion 650 pressurizes the pressurization plate 430 and then, the pumping guide member 400 descends, thereby causing the pumping member 200 to perform a pumping operation.

[0042] A reinforcement piece 660 is provided at the inner side of the ascending/descending member 600 for preventing deformation caused by the persistent pressurization of the pressurization plate 430 by the pressurization protrusion 650.

[0043] Meanwhile, a coupling groove 620 which is coupled with a coupling protrusion 720 of the button part 700 is formed at the ascending/descending member 600.

[0044] The button part 700, coupled as encasing the ascending/descending member 600 and moving along with the ascent and descent of the ascending/descending member 600, is provided with a coupling protrusion 720 coupled to the coupling groove 620 of the ascending/descending member 600.

[0045] The button part 700 is provided with a contents discharge outlet 710 formed with a contents discharge hole 711 at the side surface thereof for the contents to be discharged to the outside.

[0046] Hereinafter, an operational process of a dispenser container having a retractable button according to an exemplary embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 4A-C through 7.

[0047] Referring to FIGS. 4A-C through 7, when the rotation body 500 is rotated to one side in a state of the button part 700 descending, the guide protrusion 610 of the ascending/descending member 600 moves along the spiral groove 320 and the vertical guide groove 510, and makes the ascending/descending member 600 ascend. Due to this, the button part 700 coupled with the ascending/descending member 600 moves up together and is withdrawn to the upper end of the rotation body 500, thereby making the contents discharge outlet 710 exposed to the outside.

[0048] As described in the above, in a state of the ascending/descending member 600 and the button part 700 ascending, the contents movement hole 410 of the pumping guide member 400 and the communication hole 630 of the ascending/descending member 600 are connected to each other, and the pressurization protrusion 650 is disposed in a state of being secured at the upper end of the pressurization plate 430. In this state, if a user pressurizes the button part 700, the pressurization protrusion 650 pressurizes the pressurization plate 430, and then, the pumping guide member 400 descends, thereby making the pumping member 200 perform the pumping operation.

[0049] As described in the above, when the pumping member 200 performs the pumping operation, contents pass through, in order, the contents movement tube 420, the content movement passage 431, the contents movement hole 410, the communication hole 630, the contents movement groove 640, and the contents discharge outlet 710, and finally, then, are discharged through the contents discharge hole 711 to the outside.

[0050] Hereafter, the process of absorbing contents that remain in the top end portion of a discharge outlet of the dispenser container having a retractable button according to an exemplary embodiment will be described with a reference of FIG. 8.

[0051] Referring FIGS. 8A and 8B, when contents are completely used up, the button part 700 descends by rotating the rotation body 500 to the other side. In the presently described embodiments, it is characterized in that, when the button part 700 descends by rotation of the rotation body 500, a space formed by the outer circumferential surface of the pumping guide member 400 and the inner circumferential surface of the ascending/descending member 600 gets expanded from S1 to S2, such that the contents remaining in the top end portion of the contents discharge outlet 710 are absorbed as much as the space expanded.

[0052] In the presently described embodiments, it is characterized in that, by configuring to absorb the contents remaining in the top end portion of the contents discharge outlet 710 when the button part 700 descends, the contents remaining in the top end portion of the contents discharge outlet 710 can be discharged to the outside, thereby preventing the contents from being discharged to the outside and keeping the container from being contaminated.
