[0041] The inner container cap 40 is formed at a lower portion thereof with a sealing projecting ring 42 formed at a lower portion thereof, and an outer diameter of the sealing projecting ring 42 is larger than an inner diameter of the outer wall 33 of the inner container 30 so that the inner container cap 40 is forcibly fitted into an inside of the outer wall 33.

[0042] The inner container cap 40 is formed on an upper portion thereof with an extension projecting ring 43 to be pressed by the press projecting ring 22 of the outer container cap 20.

[0043] The outer container 10 includes a button 12 formed at one lateral side thereof with a locking protrusion 121, and a hinge formed at a side facing the button 12 so that the outer container 10 is hinged with the outer container cap 20. The outer container 10 is formed therein with the inner container receiving groove 11.

[0044] The inner container 30 is mounted in the inner container receiving groove 11.

[0045] Regarding the button 12, as the locking protrusion 121 extending from an upper portion of the button 12 is moved back by the pressing operation of a user, the locking protrusion 121 is unhooked from a hook 21 of the outer container cap 20, so that the outer container cap 20 is open.

[0046] The outer container cap 20, which covers an upper portion of the outer container 10, is hinged with the outer container 10 to open or close the outer container 10.

[0047] The hook 21 is formed at one side of the outer container cap 20 and formed in the shape of a protrusion corresponding to the locking protrusion 121 of the outer container 10.

[0048] A mirror 23 may be attached to an inner side of the outer container cap 20. The user may open the outer container cap 20 to make up while looking into the mirror 23.

[0049] A press projecting ring 22 is formed on the rim of the mirror 23 provided inside the outer container cap 20. Accordingly, when the outer container cap 20 is closed, the press projecting ring 22 presses the extension projecting ring 43 formed on the inner container cap 40.

[0050] The inner container 30 includes a content receiving space 31, and has an inner wall 32 and an outer wall 33 formed at a lateral side thereof. The first hinge block 34 is formed on an upper end of the outer wall 33.

[0051] The inner container 30 is mounted in an inner container receiving groove 11 of the outer container 10.

[0052] The content receiving space 31 receives contents, and the contents include foundation containing a large amount of volatile solvent, or contents which are able to be impregnated into an impregnation member such as sponge.

[0053] A fixing member 50 may be additionally coupled between the inner wall 32 and the outer wall 33.

[0054] As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the fixing member 50 is coupled to an outside of the inner wall 32 to prevent the contents received in the inner container 30 or the impregnation member from being separated from the inner container 30.

[0055] As shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, the outer wall 33 increases the airtightness of the inner container 30 as the sealing projecting ring 42 of the inner container cap 40 is fitted into the outer wall 33.

[0056] As shown in FIG. 9, the first hinge block 34 is formed therein with a hinge hole 341 having an oval shape.

[0057] The hinge hole 341 is hinged with the inner container cap 40 by a hinge pin 35, and the hinge pin 35 is located in an upper portion of the hinge hole 341 when the inner container cap 40 is covered on the inner container 30 as shown in FIGS. 4, 5, and 7.

[0058] In the state that the hinge pin 35 is located in the upper portion of the hinge hole 341 as described above, when the outer container cap 20 is covered, as the press projecting ring 22 formed inside the outer container cap 20 presses the extension projecting ring 43 formed on the inner container cap 40 to push down the inner container cap 40, the hinge pin 35 is moved to a lower portion of the hinge hole 341 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8.

[0059] In other words, the state shown in FIG. 7 becomes changed to the state shown in FIG. 8, so that the inner container 30 is sealed.

[0060] The inner container cap 40 may be formed in a top surface thereof with a puff space 41 to store a puff (not shown), which is a makeup tool, formed at the lower portion thereof with the sealing projecting ring 42, and formed on the upper portion thereof with the extension projecting ring 43.

[0061] The inner container cap 40 is formed at one side thereof with a second hinge block 44 and hinged with the first hinge block 34 of the inner container 30 by the hinge pin 35.

[0062] As shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, the sealing projecting ring 42 is fitted to the inside of the outer wall 33 of the inner container 30. In this case, the outer diameter of the sealing projecting ring 42 is larger than the inner diameter of the outer wall 33, so that the sealing projecting ring 42 is forcibly fitted into the inside of the outer wall 33, thereby increasing the airtightness of the inner container 30.

[0063] It is preferred that, the outer diameter of the sealing projecting ring 42 is 0.01 mm to 1.0 mm larger than the inner diameter of the outer wall 33.

[0064] If the outer diameter of the sealing projecting ring 42 is larger than the inner diameter of the outer wall 33 of the inner container 30 by less than 0.01 mm, the volatile material of the contents received in the inner container 30 may be volatilized, so that pressure may be increased. In this case, the sealing projecting ring 42 does not overcome the discharge pressure of the volatile material, so that the volatile material of the contents may leak out.

[0065] Alternatively, if the outer diameter of the sealing projecting ring 42 is larger than the inner diameter of the outer wall 33 of the inner container 30 by 1.0 mm or more, the sealing projecting ring 42 of the inner container cap 40 may be forcibly fitted into the inside of the outer wall 33 of the inner container 30, so that the fatigue of the outer wall 33 of the inner container 30 may be accumulated. Accordingly, the outer wall 33 may be cracked, so that the volatile material of the contents may be leak out.

[0066] A sealing annular protrusion 421 is formed on an outer circumferential surface of the sealing projecting ring 42 so that the sealing projecting ring 42 is forcibly fitted into the inner side of the outer wall 33 to more increase the airtightness of the inner container 30.

[0067] The extension projecting ring 43 of the inner container cap 40 includes protrusion parts 431 and recess parts 432 which are repeatedly formed in a wave shape. In this case, three protrusion parts 431 and three recess parts 432 are formed at equal angles.

[0068] Regarding the extension projecting ring 43, when the sealing projecting ring 42 of the inner container cap 40 is fitted to the inside of the outer wall 33 of the inner container 30 as shown in FIG. 5, the press projecting ring 22 of the outer container cap 20 presses the extension projecting ring 43 as shown in FIG. 6.

[0069] In this case, the press projecting ring 22 uniformly presses the three protrusion parts 431 formed in the extension projecting ring 43.

[0070] Hereinafter, the assembling manner and the use state of the cosmetic container having the sealing structure between the inner container and the inner container cap according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0071] According to the present invention, the outer container 10 formed therein with the inner container receiving groove 11 is hinged with the outer container cap 20 formed therein with the press projecting ring 22, and the inner container 30 is mounted in the inner container receiving groove 11 of the outer container 10.

[0072] The inner container 30 includes the inner wall 32 and the outer wall 33, and is hinged with the inner container cap 40. The inner container cap 40 is formed at the lower portion thereof with the sealing projecting ring 42 and formed at the upper portion thereof with the extension projecting ring 43.

[0073] The fixing member 50 may be additionally coupled between the inner wall 32 and the outer wall 33 of the inner container 30.

[0074] In order to use contents in the cosmetic container having the sealing structure between the inner container and the inner container cap according to the present invention, which has been assembled as described above, the outer container cap 20 is open and then the inner container cap 40 is open.

[0075] Thereafter, a user may make up with contents received in the inner container 30 using the puff.

[0076] In order for the user to seal the cosmetic container having the sealing structure between the inner container and the inner container cap according to the present Invention after finishing the makeup, the user may pivot the inner container cap 40 downward as shown in FIG. 4 to couple the inner container cap 40 to the inner container 30 as shown in FIG. 5.

[0077] In this case, the sealing projecting ring 42 formed at the lower portion of the inner container cap 40 has the outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of the outer wall 33 of the inner container 30, so that the sealing projecting ring 42 of the inner container cap 40 is seated on the inside of the outer wall 33 of the inner container 30 as shown in FIG. 7.

[0078] Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6, when the outer container cap 20 is coupled to the outer container 10 while closing the outer container 10, the press projecting ring 22 formed inside the outer container cap 20 presses the extension projecting ring 43 formed on the upper portion of the inner container cap 40.

[0079] The extension projecting ring 43 of the inner container cap 40 includes the protrusion part 431 and the recess part 432 which are alternately provided while forming the wave shape. In this case, three protrusion parts 431 and three recess parts 432 are formed at equal angles. In this case, the press projecting ring 22 uniformly presses the three protrusion parts 431 to push the sealing projecting ring 42 of the inner container cap 40 to the lower portion of the outer wall 33 of the inner container 30.

[0080] The press projecting ring 22 of the outer container cap 20 forcibly presses the protrusion part 431 of the extension projecting ring 43 of the inner container cap 40 so that the inner container cap 40 seals the inner container 30. Accordingly, pressure occurs in the inner container 30. In this case, the outer container cap 20 is coupled to the outer container 10 to prevent the inner container cap 40 from being lifted up.

[0081] The hinge pin 35 which couples the inner container 30 to the inner container cap 40 and is located in the upper portion of the first hinge hole 341 of the first hinge block 34 as shown in FIG. 7, is moved to the lower portion of the hinge hole 341 of the first hinge block 34 as shown in FIG. 8 due to pressing by the press projecting ring 22.

[0082] In this case, a hinge pin 235 is placed in a second hinge hole 342 by a locking step 343 interposed between the first hinge hole 341 and the second hinge hole 342 to increase the sealing of the inner container 30.

[0083] In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, the sealing annular protrusion 421 formed on the outer circumferential surface of the sealing projecting ring 42 is securely fitted to an inner circumferential surface of the upper end of the outer wall 33, so that the sealing of the inner container 30 may be increased.

[0084] Although the cosmetic container having the sealing structure between the inner container and the inner container cap according to one embodiment of the present invention has been described for the illustrative purpose, the present invention is not limited thereto. It is understood that various changes and modifications can be made by a person skilled in the art within the spirit and scope of the present invention without departing from the subject matter of the present invention as hereinafter claimed.
