[0076] A total of 50 women in their 20 s and 30 s have been surveyed about usability of the rubber discharge pads of following embodiments 1 to 6.

Experiment Example 1

Usability Measurement according to Size of Outlet of Rubber Discharge Pad

[0077] The usability of a consumer has been measured according to a size of an outlet of a rubber discharge pad.

TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 Embodiment Embodiment Embodiment Embodiment Embodiment Embodiment 1 2 3 4 5 6 Outlet 0.007 mm 0.01 mm 0.05 mm 0.8 mm 1.2 mm 1.5 mm size Usability 2.42 4.24 4.65 4.82 4.18 2.78 score (1.0: Very bad, 2.0: Bad, 3.0: Normal, 4.0: Good, 5.0: Very good)

[0078] As a result of measuring consumer usability according to a size of the outlet 51 of the rubber discharge pad 50, when the size of the outlet 51 is less than 0.01 mm, the particles of contents are not smoothly discharged due to surface tension, so that the usability is bad. When, the size of the outlet 51 exceeds 1.2 mm, the contents are excessively discharged so that the customer usability is bad. Thus, the rubber discharge pad 50 cannot adjust the discharge quantity of contents.

Experiment Example 2

Usability Measurement According to Number of Outlet of Rubber Discharge Pad

[0079] To measure the usability of a consumer according to the number of outlets 51 of the rubber discharge pad 50, after

TABLE-US-00002 TABLE 2 Embodiment Embodiment Embodiment Embodiment Embodiment Embodiment 1 2 3 4 5 6 Number of 70 100 300 400 600 650 outlets Usability 2.36 4.18 4.85 4.90 4.24 2.72 score (1.0: Very bad, 2.0: Bad, 3.0: Normal, 4.0: Good, 5.0: Very good)

[0080] As a result of measuring consumer usability according to the number of the outlets 51 of the rubber discharge pad 50, when the number of the outlets 51 is less than 100, the contents are not smoothly discharged, so that the usability of a customer is bad. When the number of the outlets 51 exceeds 600, the quantity of contents is too much discharged so that the customer usability is bad. Thus, the rubber discharge pad 50 cannot adjust the discharge quantity of contents.

[0081] In addition, as shown in Table 2, when the number of the outlets 51 is in the range of 300 to 400, the discharge quantity of contents is most suitable and the usability is very excellent.

[0082] That, is, since the contents are discharged through the outlets 61 of the rubber discharge pad 50, the outlets are formed to have a size in the range of 0.01 mm to 1.2 mm. When the number of the outlets is in the range of 100 to 600, the customer usability may be excellent and the discharge quantity of contents may be suitably adjusted.

[0083] The rubber discharge pad 50 is formed on the end thereof with the fitting part 52 and the fitting 52 is fitted with the inner wall 32 of the container body 30 such that the rubber discharge pad 50 is fixedly coupled to the inner wall 32 of the container body 30.

[0084] Although the rubber discharge pad 50 is directly and fixedly coupled to the inner wall 32 of the container body 30 in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C, the frame 70 is further included in another embodiment. After the rubber discharge pad 50 is coupled between the tension cap 60 and the frame 70, the rubber discharge pad 50 is coupled to the container body 30.

[0085] The coupling protrusion 71 is formed on the upper end of the frame 70 and the fitting part 52 of the rubber discharge pad 50 is fittingly coupled to the coupling protrusion 71.

[0086] As shown, in FIGS. 8B and 8C, after being fitted with the frame 70, when the rubber discharge pad 50 is coupled to the tension cap 60 and coupled to the fitting protrusion 34 of the inner wall 32 of the container body 30, the rubber discharge pad 50 may be coupled more firmly than that coupled without any frames 70.

[0087] In addition, when the rubber discharge pad 50 is assembled with the container body 30 after the frame 70 coupled to the rubber discharge pad 50 is coupled to the tension cap 60 in advance, the components are modularized so that the process of producing a cosmetic container having a rubber discharge pad according to the present invention is simplified and the producing speed is improved.

[0088] The tension protrusion 61 is formed on the upper surface of the tension cap 60 and the tension cap 60 is fittingly coupled between the inner and outer walls 32 and 33 of the container body 30.

[0089] As shown in FIGS. 5, 6D, 7 and 8C, the tension protrusion 61 presses a portion of a rim of the rubber discharge pad 50, such that the rubber discharge pad 50 is tightened and the tension cap 60 allows the rubber discharge pad 50 to be firmly coupled to the container body 30. Thus, when the rubber discharge pad 50 is pressed, the rubber discharge pad 50 is prevented from being separated from the container body 30.

[0090] Hereinafter, the assembling method of a cosmetic container provided with a rubber discharge pad according to an embodiment of the present invention and the state of using the same will be described in detail as follows.

[0091] According to the present invention, the container body 30 is coupled into the inside of the outer container 10 which is formed with the container body containing groove 15 and hinge-coupled to the outer container lid 20.

[0092] The container body 30 is hinge coupled to the container lid 40.

[0093] After the rubber discharge pad 50 is coupled to the upper end of the container body 30 as shown in FIG. 6A and 6B, the container body 30 is fitted with the tension cap 60 as shown in FIGS. 6C and 6B, so that the assembly of the cosmetic container provided with a rubber discharge pad according to the present invention is completed.

[0094] In addition, the rubber discharge pad 50 is not directly coupled to the container body 30, and as shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C, the rubber discharge pad 50 is coupled to the frame 70, thereby being coupled to the container body 30.

[0095] To use the cosmetic container provided with a rubber discharge pad which is assembled according to the above-described scheme, the rubber discharge pad 50 is pressed with a puff.

[0096] When the rubber discharge pad 50 is pressed, the rubber discharge pad 50 is pressed downwardly of the container body 30, so that the contents contained in the container body 30 may be used without any residual.

[0097] In addition, since the contents contained in the container body 30 are discharged through the outlets 51 of the rubber discharge pad 50, the expansion sizes of the outlets 51 are changed as the rubber discharge pad 50 is pressed, so that the discharge quantity of contents may be adjusted.

[0098] As shown in FIGS. 5, 6D, 7 and 8C, the tension protrusion 61 of the tension cap 60 presses the rim portion of the rubber discharge pad 50 so that the rubber discharge pad 50 is expanded. In addition, the tension cap 60 allows the rubber discharge pad 50 to be firmly coupled to the container body 30, so that the rubber discharge pad 50 may be prevented from being separated from the container body 30 when a user uses the cosmetic container according to the present invention.

[0099] As shown in FIG. 7, the impregnation member 80 may be further included in the container body 30. When a low-viscosity water-in-oil product according to the related art is kept in the container for a long time during circulation, the aqueous materials of internal phase and the oil materials of external phase tray be separated from each other. However, when the contents are impregnated into the impregnation member 80, the contents are contained in a small cell of the impregnation member 80 of a sponge type, the contents are prevented from being divided into the aqueous and oil materials due to surface tension in the cell.

[0100] As described above, the cosmetic container provided with a rubber discharge pad described in this disclosure is an illustrative purpose only, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Thus, it should be understood that numerous other modifications and embodiments can be devised by those skilled in the art within the spirit and scope of the present invention, and they will fall within the scope of the present invention.
