(16) In addition, a pressing protrusion P1 is provided on the airless pump P to move the airless pump P up and down by a pressurization and a release of the side button 121.

(17) In this case, a guide member 111 is provided in the container body 110 to guide the side button 121 when the side button slides on an upper part of the container body 110, in which a stopper 112 protrudes from a center part of the guide member 111 to stop the side button 121.

(18) In addition, the pressing protrusion P1 makes contact with an inclined surface 123 of a lower side of the side button 121 and moves down by a pressurization of the side button 121 and moves up by a release of the pressurization.

(19) Further, a guide groove 113, through which the pressing protrusion P1 passes through and installed, is provided on the container body 110.

(20) In addition, a content discharging device 130 is provided in the shoulder 120 to primarily block the cosmetic product contents moving upward due to a high pressure by an operation of the airless pump P and guide the cosmetic product contents to multiple discharge holes 134 such that the cosmetic product contents are dispersedly discharged.

(21) Further, the content discharging device 130 includes a content guiding member 132 coupled to an upper end of the airless pump P and having a space 131, which includes a discharge path of the cosmetic product contents, a sealing member 133 provided at an outer circumference of the content guiding member 132 and coupled to a rib 124 provided at the shoulder 120 to prevent the content guiding member 132 from breaking away and maintain a sealed state of the content, a mixing member 135 to primarily block the cosmetic product content discharged at a high pressure while maintaining a predetermined distance from an upper part of the content guiding member 132 and guide the cosmetic product content to multiple discharge holes 134 so that the cosmetic product contents are discharged, and a cover ring 136 undercut and coupled to the shoulder 120 so that the mixing member 135 is fixed to an upper part of the shoulder 120.

(22) In this case, the mixing member 135 may include metal or plastic.

(23) In addition, the discharge holes 134 provided through the mixing member 135 may include any one shape among a letter shape, a circular shape, a triangular shape, a pentagonal shape.

(24) In addition, as another embodiment of the mixing member 135, a mesh 137 may be coupled to the cover ring 136 through insert injection to represent various patterns, in which the discharge holes 137a are open in various patterns of the mesh 137 and a paint 137b is coated on remaining parts of the mesh 137 to block the discharge holes.

(25) In this case, the mesh 137 may include one of a screen and a fabric.

(26) The operation of the present invention configured as above will be described.

(27) First, in the case of selecting and using any one among the first and second storage containers V1 and V2, as shown in FIG. 8, when the side button 121 of one side is pressed and slided into the shoulder 120 after separating an upper cover from the container body 110, the side button 121 progresses according to the guidance of the guide member 111 and the inclined surface 123 formed at a lower side of the side button 121 presses the pressing protrusion P1 protruding from an upper side of the airless pump P.

(28) Thus, the content transfer path in the airless pump P becomes open when the airless pump P moves downward and the cosmetic product contents in a temporary storage room P2 moves upward through the space 131 provided in the content guiding member 132, and as shown in FIG. 9, the cosmetic product contents moving upward by the high pressure primarily makes contact with a lower side surface of the mixing member 135 such that the cosmetic product contents are dispersed to both sides and then discharged to the outside through the multiple discharge holes 134.

(29) In this case, because the cosmetic product contents discharged through the discharge holes 134, as shown in FIG. 10, are dispersed and arranged into multiple cosmetic product drops, the cosmetic product is dispersed and evenly coated on a puff when a user puts on the cosmetic product by a puff, thus the cosmetic product may be evenly worn.

(30) Then, when the force pressing the side button 121 is released, the airless pump P moves upward by the spring in the airless pump P, and, simultaneously, the pressing protrusion P1 pushes the inclined surface 123 of the side button 121, so that the side button 121 is returned to the original position.

(31) In this case, simultaneously, the content transferring path is blocked by a piston packing when the piston rod moves upward in the airless pump P, and accordingly, the cylinders in the first storage container V1 moves upward through a suction valve tube P3 when a check valve CV is opened when a vacuum pressure is generated in the cylinder in the airless pump P.

(32) Meanwhile, when it is necessary, in use, to mix both cosmetic product contents stored in the first and second storage containers V1 and V2 by simultaneously discharging the cosmetic product contents, as shown in FIG. 11, both side buttons 121 are simultaneously pushed, and the operation of the side buttons 121 and the airless pump P is as below.

(33) In other words, as shown in FIG. 11, when both side buttons 121 are pressed and sided into the shoulder 120, the side buttons 121 moves according to the guidance of the guide member 111 while the inclined surface 123 formed at a lower side of the side buttons 121 presses the pressing protrusion P1 protruding from the upper side of the airless pump P downward.

(34) Therefore, when the content transferring path in the airless pump is opened while the airless pump P moves downward, the cosmetic product contents in the temporary storage room P2 moves upward through the space 131 provided in the content guiding member 132, and as shown in FIG. 12, the cosmetic product contents moved upward by the high pressure primarily makes contact with the lower side surface of the mixing discharge member 134, moves and disperses to both sides, and then the cosmetic product contents are discharged to the outside through the multiple discharge holes 134.

(35) In this case, the cosmetic product contents discharged through the discharge holes 134, as shown in FIG. 13, are discharged from both sides in a circular arrangement arranged by multiple cosmetic product water drops, so the user may mix the cosmetic product contents discharged to the two positions and wear the cosmetic product.

(36) Therefore, when the two cosmetic product contents are discharged to the upper part of the mixing member 135 through the discharge holes 134 of the mixing member 135, the cosmetic product contents may be easily mixed and used.

(37) Then, as shown in FIG. 14, when the forces pressing both side buttons 121 are released, the air pump P is moved upward by the spring in the airless pump P and the pressing protrusion P1 pushes the inclined surface 123 of the side buttons 121 such that the side buttons 121 return to the original position.

(38) In this case, simultaneously, the content transferring path is blocked by a piston packing when the piston rod stoves upward in the airless pump P, and accordingly, the cylinders in the first storage container V1 moves upward through a suction valve tube P3 when the check valve CV is opened when the vacuum pressure is generated in the cylinder in the airless pump P.

(39) In addition, after all of the cosmetic product contents in the cosmetic container of the present invention are used, the cosmetic container of the present invention may be reused after replacing the first and second storage container V1 and V2 to new containers. The method of replacing the first and second storage containers V1 and V2 will be described. First, when the side button 121 is pressed after the lower cap C is removed from the container body 110, the inclined surface 123 of the side button 121 moves the pressing protrusion P1 of the airless pump P downward. In this case, because the lower cap C is removed from the lower side of the container body 110, the first and second storage containers V1 and V2 are also pushed downward and naturally break away according to the downward movement of the pressing protrusion P1.

(40) When the first and second storage containers V1 and V2, which axe entirely used, are separated from the container body 110, new first and second storage containers V1 and V2 are inserted from the bottom of the container body 110 so that the first and second storage containers V1 and V2 are inserted and installed into the airless pump P.

(41) Then, when the lower cap C is fastened to the lower part of the container body 110, the replacement of the first and second storage containers V1 and V2 is completed.

(42) Meanwhile, as another embodiment of the mixing member 135 of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 15, various patterns, for example, a flower in full bloom, may be provided in the mesh 137 coupled to the cover ring 136 through insert injection.

(43) In other words, the cosmetic product contents are discharged in the discharge holes 137a provided in the pattern, in which the flower is in full bloom, and the discharge holes are blocked because paint 137b is coated in parts other than the pattern, so the cosmetic product contents are discharged through the discharge holes 137a provided in the pattern when discharging the cosmetic product contents to provide extravagance, thereby providing aesthetic impression to consumers.

(44) While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to various embodiments thereof, it should not be interpreted in any way to limit the scope of the present invention, and it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various substitutions, changes in form and alterations may be made therein without departing from the spirit and the scope of the present invention.
