In this case, preferably, a height of the exposure hole 12 may be relatively greater than or equal to a height of the rotary dial 20 so that a predetermined portion of the rotary dial 20 may protrude to an outside of the container main body 10, and a width of the exposure hole 12 may be relatively less than a diameter of the rotary dial 20 in order to prevent the rotary dial 20 from being separated from the container main body 10.

[0040] Meanwhile, a main body cover 60 may be detachably coupled to one side of the container main body 10. The main body cover 60 may be coupled to or separated from the container main body 10 while covering the protective tube 30 coupled to the container main body 10, in which the main body cover 60 may be separated from the container main body 10 so as to expose the protective tube 30 to the outside upon use, and may be coupled to the container main body 10 so as to protect the protective tube 30 upon storage or carrying. Alternatively, the container cover 60 may be detachably fastened to the protective tube 30 instead of the container main body 10. Although the container main body 10 and the main body cover 60 have been shown in the drawings of the stick-type cosmetics container according to the embodiment of the present disclosure as being fastened to each other by protrusions and grooves, the container main body 10 and the main body cover 60 may have various types of fastening structures that allow the main body cover 60 to be easily attached to and detached from the container main body 10, such as undercut coupling, forced fitting coupling, and coupling by a magnetic force, without being limited thereto.

[0041] A fastening part 14 may be formed on one side of the container main body 10 so that the container cover 60 may be coupled to the container main body 10 while surrounding the fastening part 14, and a first attachment/detachment protrusion 16 may protrude from an inner periphery of the fastening part 14 so as to be detachably coupled to a second attachment/detachment protrusion 36 formed on the protective tube 30. In this case, preferably, the fastening part 14 may have a relatively smaller diameter than other portions of the container main body 10.

[0042] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the protective tube 30 may be inserted into one open side of the container main body 10, and a lower cap 70 may be coupled to an opposite open side of the container main body 10. The lower cap 70 may be fixedly coupled to the container main body 10 while blocking a bottom portion of the container main body 10. A coupling extension protrusion wheel 72 may extend upward from an inner center of the lower cap 70, and a first latching protrusion 74 may protrude from an inner periphery of the coupling extension protrusion wheel 72 so as to be coupled to a second latching protrusion 24b formed on the rotary dial 20, so that the rotary dial 20 may be prevented from being shaken within the container main body 10.

[0043] The rotary dial 20 may be rotatably coupled to the container main body 10 so as to be subjected to rotation manipulation by the user, and the activation member 40 engaged with an inside of the rotary dial 20 may be rotated together with the rotary dial 20. The rotary dial 20 may have a ring shape so that the activation member 40 may be inserted into a center of the rotary dial 20, and at least a portion of the rotary dial 20 may be exposed to the outside through the exposure hole 12 of the container main body 10.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 2, the rotary dial 20 may include an outer wall 22, and an inner wall 24 spaced inward from the outer wall 22 by a predetermined interval.

[0045] The outer wall 22 may be a part exposed to the outside of the container main body 10 so as to make direct contact with the user, and a plurality of friction protrusions 22a may be formed on an outer periphery of the outer wall 22 so as to prevent the user from slipping upon the manipulation of the rotary dial 20.

[0046] The inner wall 24 may be a part making contact with the activation member 40 inserted into the center of the rotary dial 20, in which a first fitting protrusion 24a may be formed on an inner periphery of the inner wall 24 so as to be coupled to a second fitting protrusion 44 formed on the activation member 40, and the second latching protrusion 24b may be formed on an outer periphery of the inner wall 24 so as to be coupled to the first latching protrusion 74 of the lower cap 70. The first fitting protrusion 24a may extend so as to be elongated in an attachment/detachment direction of the container main body 10 and the protective tube 30, in which a plurality of first fitting protrusions 24a may be formed along an inner circumference of the rotary dial 20 while being spaced apart from each other by a predetermined interval, and the second fitting protrusion 44 of the activation member 40 may be fitted and engaged between the first fitting protrusions 24a. In addition, preferably, the first latching protrusion 74 may extend along an inner circumference of the coupling extension protrusion wheel 72, the second latching protrusion 24b may protrude by a predetermined section along an outer circumference of the inner wall 24, and the first latching protrusion 74 and the second latching protrusion 24b may rotatably latched and coupled to each other.

[0047] The protective tube 30 may be detachably coupled to the container main body 10, and may surround and protect the stick holder 50 and a stick cosmetic product attached to the stick holder 50. In this case, preferably, the protective tube 30 may have the same diameter and the same surface shape as one end portion of the container main body 10 for continuity of design. The protective tube 30 may include an inlet part 32 formed on one side of the protective tube 30, and the stick cosmetic product may be withdrawn to the outside or introduced into the protective tube 30 through the inlet part 32.

[0048] An insertion part 34 may extend on an opposite side of the inlet part 32 of the protective tube 30, and the insertion part 34 may be inserted into the inner space of the container main body 10. An insertion space 34a surrounding the rotary dial 10 upon coupling with the container main body 10 may be formed on an inner side of the insertion part 34, a through-hole 34b through which the activation member 40 and the stick holder 50 pass may be formed at a center of the insertion space 34a, and a first coupling protrusion 34c to which the activation member 40 is rotatably coupled may be formed on a side wall of the through-hole 34b.

[0049] Meanwhile, a second attachment/detachment protrusion 36 may protrude from an outer periphery of the insertion part 34 of the protective tube 30 so as to be detachably coupled to the first attachment/detachment protrusion 16 of the container main body 10. In this case, preferably, the first attachment/detachment protrusion 16 and the second attachment/detachment protrusion 36 may partially protrude from corresponding positions of the container main body 10 and the protective tube 30, respectively. Although the container main body 10 and the protective tube 30 have been shown in the drawings of the stick-type cosmetics container according to the embodiment of the present disclosure as including the protrusions, respectively, so as to be undercut-coupled to each other, the container main body 10 and the protective tube 30 may have various types of coupling structures that allow the protective tube 30 to be stably attached to and detached from the container main body 10, such as coupling by protrusions and grooves, forced fitting coupling, and coupling by a magnetic force, without being limited thereto.

[0050] The activation member 40 may be rotatably coupled to the protective tube 30 and the lower cap 70, and may rotate together with the rotary dial 20 while being engaged with the rotary dial 20 so as to elevate the stick holder 50 within the protective tube 30. The activation member 40 may have a cylindrical shape having a hollow inside, the activation member 40 may penetrate the rotary dial 20, and at least a portion of the stick holder 50 may be inserted into the activation member 40.

[0051] An elevating protrusion 42 may be formed on an inner periphery of the activation member 40 so as to be screw-coupled to an elevating spiral groove 52 formed on the stick holder 50. The elevating protrusion 42 may protrude toward a center of the activation member 40, and may rotate together with the rotary dial 20 upon the rotation manipulation of the rotary dial 20 so as to guide a linear movement of the stick holder 50. In this case, preferably, the elevating protrusion 42 may have a protrusion shape that extends by a predetermined section along an inner circumference of the activation member 40, or may have a screw thread shape so as to be screw-fastened to the elevating spiral groove 52 of the stick holder 50.

[0052] Meanwhile, the second fitting protrusion 44 may protrude from an outer periphery of the activation member 40. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the second fitting protrusion 44 may extend so as to be elongated in the attachment/detachment direction of the container main body 10 and the protective tube 30, in which a plurality of second fitting protrusions 44 may be formed along an outer circumference of the activation member 40 while being spaced apart from each other by at a predetermined interval, and the first fitting protrusion 24a of the rotary dial 20 may be fitted and engaged between the second fitting protrusions 44. That is, while the container main body 10 and the protective tube 30 are unfastened from each other, the activation member 40 may come so as to be separated from the rotary dial 20, and while the activation member 40 is inserted into and engaged with the rotary dial 20, the container main body 10 and the protective tube 30 may be fastened to each other. In other words, the rotary dial 20 and the activation member 40 may be automatically engaged with or separated from each other by a simple attachment/detachment work of the container main body 10 and the protective tube 30, and the rotary dial 20 and the activation member 40 may rotate together without rotating relative to each other with no traction upon coupling of the container main body 10 and the protective tube 30.

[0053] In addition, a second coupling protrusion 46 may be formed on the outer periphery of the activation member 40 so as to be rotatably coupled to the first coupling protrusion 34c of the protective tube 30, so that the activation member 40 may be separated from the container main body 10 or inserted into the container main body 10 together with the protective tube 30.

[0054] The stick holder 50 may be screw-coupled to the activation member 40, and may elevate along the protective tube 30 by the rotation of the activation member 40.

[0055] As shown in FIG. 2, the elevating spiral groove 52 may be formed on an outer periphery of the stick holder 50. The elevating spiral groove 52 may be screw-coupled to the elevating protrusion 42 of the activation member 40 so as to guide the linear movement of the stick holder 50. In other words, the elevating protrusion 42 of the activation member 40 may be rotated by the rotation manipulation of the rotary dial 20 so as to move along the elevating spiral groove 52 of the stick holder 50. In this case, the stick holder 50 may be linearly moved on an inner side of the protective tube 30 while rotation of the stick holder 50 is restricted by the protective tube 30 having an oval shape. In this case, the elevating spiral groove 52 may be inclined at an appropriate angle along an outer circumference of the stick holder 50 in consideration of smooth operation, a movement distance, and the like of the stick holder 50.

[0056] Meanwhile, a cosmetic dish 54 may be formed on one side of the stick holder 50. The stick-type cosmetic product may be inserted and filled in an inner space of the cosmetic dish 54, and at least one separation prevention rib 54a may be formed to prevent the stick-type cosmetic product from being easily separated from the cosmetic dish 54.

[0057] As described above, according to the stick-type cosmetics container according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the rotary dial 20 coupled to the container main body 10 and the activation member 40 coupled to the protective tube 30 may be fitted and engaged with each other in the attachment/detachment direction of the container main body 10 and the protective tube 30, so that reduction in financial burden on the user and reduction in waste of resources may be achieved through a partial replacement structure of the stick-type cosmetics container, and the protective tube 30 and the activation member 40 and the stick holder 50, which are coupled to the protective tube 30, may be separated and conveniently replaced by simple manipulation of pulling the protective tube 30 from the container main body 10.

[0058] FIGS. 5 to 7 are views illustrating use and refill processes of the stick-type cosmetics container having the refill structure according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, and the use and refill processes of the stick-type cosmetics container having the refill structure according to the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7.

[0060] In order to use the stick-type cosmetics container having the refill structure according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the main body cover 60 may be separated from the container main body 10 so as to expose the protective tube 30 to the outside.

[0061] Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5, when the rotary dial 20 is rotated with respect to the container main body 10, while the activation member 40 engaged with the inside of the rotary dial 20 is rotated together with the rotary dial 20, the stick holder 50 screw-coupled to the activation member 40 may be linearly moved within the protective tube 30. In other words, the elevating protrusion 42 of the activation member 40 may be rotated so as to move along the elevating spiral groove 52 of the stick holder 50. In this case, the rotation of the stick holder 50 may be restricted by the protective tube 30 having the oval shape so as to be linearly moved within the protective tube 30, so that the stick-type cosmetic product attached to the stick holder 50 may be exposed to the outside through the inlet part 32 of the protective tube 30.

[0062] Thereafter, the user may put on makeup by evenly applying the stick-type cosmetic product, which is exposed to the outside as described above, to a makeup region.

[0063] Meanwhile, when the stick-type cosmetic product attached to the stick holder 50 is used up and is to be refilled, as shown in FIG. 6, the protective tube 30 may be pulled from the container main body 10 so as to separate the protective tube 30 from the container main body 10. In this case, the first attachment/detachment protrusion 16 of the container main body 10 and the second attachment/detachment protrusion 36 of the protective tube 30 may be unfastened from each other, and simultaneously, the second fitting protrusion 44 of the activation member 40 may come out from the first fitting protrusion 24a of the rotary dial 20.

[0064] Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7, the protective tube 30 and the activation member 40 and the stick holder 50, which are coupled to the protective tube 30, may be completely separated from the container main body 10, and a new protective tube 30, a new activation member 40, and a new stick holder 50 may be inserted into the container main body 10 so as to be replaced. In this case, the first fitting protrusion 24a of the rotary dial 20 and the second fitting protrusion 44 of the activation member 40 may be fitted and engaged with each other in the attachment/detachment direction of the container main body 10 and the protective tube 30, and simultaneously, the first attachment/detachment protrusion 16 of the container main body 10 and the second attachment/detachment protrusion 36 of the protective tube 30 may be fastened to each other.
