[0062] The distribution plate 50 may be coupled to the lower side of the palette 60 by bonding through ultrasonic-bonding, RF bonding, or thermal-bonding, or bonded by an adhesive, or may be undercut-coupled.

[0063] The palette 60 is formed of an opaque material to serve as a background so that images or characters printed on the bottom of the transparent discharging plate 70 are more clearly delivered to the consumer.

[0064] The transparent discharging plate 70 is formed of a transparent or translucent synthetic resin material, and various images or characters to be delivered to the consumer are printed on the bottom of the transparent discharging plate 70.

[0065] The palette 60 is formed on a lower side of the transparent discharging plate 70 through an insert-injection molding or a double-injection molding.

[0066] In addition, a ring-shaped rim member 61 having a curved inner peripheral surface may be formed on the upper side of the transparent discharging plate 70 through an insert-injection molding or a double-injection molding, in which the rim member 61 serves to prevent the cosmetic material from flowing down to the outside of the transparent discharging plate 70 when the cosmetic material discharged onto the upper portion of the transparent discharging plate 70 is rubbed by the puff.

[0071] FIG. 8 is a sectional view showing a state a palette, a rim member, and a transparent discharging plate are insert-injected or double-injected of a compact container having a transparent discharging plate for providing an information delivery function and preventing foreign substances from infiltrating into a bottom thereof according to the present invention. FIG. 9 is a sectional view showing a state of a distribution plate coupled to a lower side of the palette of a compact container having a transparent discharging plate for providing an information delivery function and preventing foreign substances from infiltrating into a bottom thereof according to the present invention.

[0072] In other words, various characters or images are printed on the bottom of the transparent plate 70, and the opaque palette 60 is formed on the lower side of the transparent discharging plate 70 through the insert-injection molding or double-injection molding as shown in FIG. 8, thus the various characters or images are projected and displayed on the top of the transparent discharging plate 70 when the compact container is opened as shown in FIG. 3. Accordingly, information on the compact being used can be delivered to the consumer, the aesthetics can be visually improved, and the characters or images can be prevented from being contaminated by the discharged cosmetic material.

[0073] In the conventional compact container, as shown in FIG. 2, when, the cosmetic material is discharged, the cosmetic material infiltrates into a gap between the transparent discharging plate 1 and the information delivery plate 3 assembled with the transparent discharging plate 1, thus patterns or characters printed on the information delivery plate 3 are covered by the cosmetic material. Thus, there are problems in that the information delivery function is insufficiently performed, it becomes, dirty visually, and an assembly process for inserting the information delivery plate 3 is increased, lowering the productivity.

[0074] According to the present invention, the characters or images are directly printed on the transparent discharging plate, and the palette 60 is farmed on the lower side of the transparent discharging plate 70 through the insert-injection molding or the double-injection molding, thereby removing the clearance between the transparent discharging plate 70 and the palette 60, such that the cosmetic material discharged by the discharging device 40 is prevented from infiltrating between the transparent discharging plate 70 and the palette 60.

[0075] Further, according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 9, the distribution plate 50 is bonded to the lower side of the transparent discharging plate 70 and the palette 60 which are formed through the insert-injection molding or double-injection molding, thereby forming, one component coupled to the upper portion of the discharging device 40, thus an assembly structure of the compact container is simplified, improving the productivity.

[0076] Hereinafter, a method of assembling the above compact container having a transparent discharging plate for providing an information delivery function and preventing foreign substances from infiltrating into a bottom thereof will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0077] In order to assemble the compact container having a transparent discharging plate for providing an information delivery function and preventing foreign substances from infiltrating into a bottom thereof according to the present invention, at first, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the contents container 30 is inserted into the outer container 10 hinged to one side thereof with the outer container lid 20.

[0078] Next, the lifting plate 38 is fitted into the contents container 30, the cosmetic material is injected, and the pump housing 41 of the discharging device 40 is coupled to the upper portion of the contents container 30, such that the lower extending protrusion wheel 414 of the pump housing 41 is fitted and coupled between the inner wall 34 and the outer wall 36 of the contents container 30.

[0079] Next, the suction valve plate 43, the bushing 44, the elastic member 46, the piston 47, the piston ring 49, and the up/down moving member 45 are mounted on the upper portion of the pump housing 41.

[0080] Next, the distribution plate 50, the palette 60 and the transparent discharging plate 70 are coupled to the top of the up/down moving member 45 of the discharging device 40.

[0081] At this point, as shown in FIG. 8, the rim member 61 and the palette 60 are formed on the upper and lower sides of the transparent discharging plate 70, respectively, through the insert-injection molding or double-injection molding, and as shown in FIG. 9, the distribution plate 50 is bonded to the lower side of the palette 60 and formed into a single component, thereby being coupled to the up/down moving member 45 of the discharging device 40. Therefore, the assembling structure of the compact container is simplified, thereby improving the productivity.

[0082] Next, the coupling shoulder 80 is inserted and coupled between the outer container 10 and the contents container 30. The coupling protrusion 14 of the outer container 10 is coupled to the coupling groove 84 of the coupling shoulder 80, and simultaneously, the upper end of the fix protrusion wheel 416 of the pump housing 41 is pressed and fixed by the pressing sill 86 of the coupling shoulder 80, thereby finishing the assembly of the compact container having a transparent discharging plate for providing an information delivery function and preventing foreign substances from infiltrating into a bottom thereof according to the present invention.

[0083] Hereinafter, a method of using the compact container, which is assembled through the above method and has a transparent discharging plate for providing an information delivery function and preventing foreign substances from infiltrating into a bottom thereof, will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0084] FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing a state of discharging a cosmetic material onto a transparent discharging plate of a compact container having a transparent discharging plate for providing an information delivery function and preventing foreign substances from infiltrating into a bottom thereof according to the present invention. FIG. 7 is a sectional view showing a state of introducing a cosmetic material into a cylinder of a compact container having a transparent discharging plate for providing an information delivery function and preventing foreign substances from infiltrating into a bottom thereof according to the present invention.

[0085] In order to use the compact container having a transparent discharging plate for providing an information delivery function and preventing foreign substances from infiltrating into a bottom thereof according to the present invention, first, the outer container lid 20 is opened by pressing the button 12 of the outer container 10.

[0086] When the outer container lid 20 is opened, as shown in FIG. 3, the images or characters printed on the bottom of the transparent discharging plate 70 are projected on the top the transparent discharging plate 70 and delivered to the consumer.

[0087] Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the upper surface of the transparent discharging plate 70 is pressed with a makeup tool such as a puff.

[0088] When the transparent discharging plate 70 is pressed.

[0089] the palette 60 insert-injection molded or double-injection molded with the transparent discharging plate 70 and the distribution plate 50 bonded to the lower side of the palette 60 are also moved downwardly, while the up/down moving member 45, the piston 47 and the piston ring 49 coupled to the lower side of the distribution plate 50 are moved downwardly together, so that the volume inside the cylinder 42 is reduced.

[0090] Accordingly, a pressure is generated inside the cylinder 42, and a discharging pressure is generated as the cosmetic material in the cylinder 42 tends to be discharged to the outside due to the pressure, so that the suction valve plate 43 closes the contents suction hole 48 formed on the bottom surface of the cylinder 42.

[0091] Simultaneously, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 6, the cosmetic material accommodated in the cylinder 42 is discharged between the piston 47 and the piston ring 49, passes through the distribution passage 52 of the distribution plate 50, passes through the discharge passage 62 of the palette 60, and is discharged to the discharging holes 72 of the transparent discharging plate 70.

[0092] At this point, because the palette 60 is formed on the lower side of the transparent discharging plate 70 through the insert-injection molding or the double-injection molding to remove the clearance between the transparent discharging plate 70 and the palette 60, the cosmetic material discharged by the discharging device 40 is prevented from being infiltrated between the transparent discharging plate 70 and the palette 60.

[0093] Then, as shown, in FIG. 7, when the pressing of the transparent discharging plate 70 is released, the distribution plate 50 is moved upward by the elasticity of the elastic member 4 6 for elastically supporting the distribution plate 50, while the up/down moving member 45, the piston 47 and the piston ring 49 coupled to the lower side of the distribution plate 50 are moved upwardly together, thus the volume inside the cylinder 42 is increased, thereby generating a vacuum pressure.

[0094] Simultaneously, the suction valve plate 43 is lifted by the vacuum pressure generated inside the cylinder 42, thereby opening the contents suction hole 48 formed on the bottom surface of the cylinder 42, thus the cosmetic material accommodated in the contents container 30 is introduced into the cylinder 42 through the contents suction hole 48, while the lifting plate 38 installed in the contents container 30 moves upwardly.

[0095] The present invention described in the above is just one embodiment for carrying out a compact container having a transparent discharging plate for providing an information delivery function and preventing foreign substances from infiltrating into a bottom thereof, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Preferable embodiments have been proposed and set forth in the aforementioned description, however it will be apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art in that many different substitutions, deformations and modifications are available within the scope without departing from the invention.
