(7) Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals provided in the drawings indicate the same members.

(8) FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view illustrating a configuration of an extrusion-type cosmetic container according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a configuration of an extrusion-type cosmetic container according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

(9) Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, an extrusion-type cosmetic container according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a container body 100, a content extruding member 200, and a cap 300.

(10) The container body 100 may contain contents, and may have a thread formed on the outer circumferential surface thereof so that an upper portion of the container body 100 can be screw-coupled to the cap 300.

(11) The content extruding member 200 may be located over contents inside the container body 100, and may discharge contents by pressurizing contents by a user. The content extruding member 200 may include a recessed part 210 and a pressure changing part 220.

(12) The recessed part 210 may have a dish-like shape, the upper end portion of which is recessed in a downward direction so that contents are discharged to the top surface of the recessed part 210. The recessed part 210 may have an outlet hole 211 formed on the central portion of the recessed part 210 so that contents stored in the container body 100 are pressurized by the descent of the content extruding member 200 and discharged through the outlet hole 211.

(13) On the other hand, a rubber tip 230 may be disposed to interrupt air from being introduced into the container body by closing the outlet hole 211 at normal times and to open the outlet hole 211 by the pressure of contents moving upward when the content extruding member 200 moves downward.

(14) The pressure changing part 220 may change the internal pressure of the container body 100 when the content extruding member 200 descends in accordance with the pressurization of a user, and may be configured to descend while adhering closely to the inner wall of the container body 100 so as to enable the internal pressure of the container body 100 to change.

(15) Since the pressure changing part 220 is configured to descend while adhering closely to the inner wall of the container body 100, contents stored in the container body 100 may be guided to the outlet hole 211, and may be allowed to pass through the outlet hole 211.

(16) The cap 300 may cover the container body 100, and may be coupled to the upper portion of the container body 100. The cap 300 may prevent foreign substances from being introduced into the upper end of the recessed part 210 to which contents are discharged, and may have a second screw thread 310 formed on the inner circumferential surface thereof so as to be screw-coupled to a first screw thread 110 of the container body 100.

(17) Hereinafter, an extrusion-type cosmetic container according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a view illustrating a method of using an extrusion-type cosmetic container according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

(18) Hereinafter, the operation of an extrusion-type cosmetic container according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

(19) A user may pressurize the upper end portion of the recessed part 210 of the content extruding member 200 by his/her hand. In this case, the pressurization of the recessed part 210 may be simply performed by one finger of a user, but may be performed by two fingers so that a uniform pressure can be applied to both sides based on the outlet hole 211.

(20) When the upper end of the recessed part 210 is pressurized, the content extruding member 200 may descend. In this case, the pressure changing part 220 may descend while adhering closely to the inner wall of the container body, and the internal pressure of the container body 100 may change, allowing contents stored in the container body 100 to be discharged through the outlet hole 211.

(21) Thus, contents may be discharged to the top surface of the recessed part 210 having a dish shape through the outlet hole 211, and a user can use contents on the top surface of the recessed part 210 with hand or other coating members.

(22) Hereinafter, an extrusion-type cosmetic container according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6.

FIG. 6 is a view illustrating a method of using an extrusion-type cosmetic container according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

(24) Referring to FIGS. 4 to 6, an extrusion-type cosmetic container according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a container body 100, a content extruding member 200, a cap 300, and a support 400.

(25) Since the container body 100, the content extruding member 200, and the cap 300 are similar to those described in the previous embodiment, detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted, and the explanation will be focused on the structure of the support 400.

(26) The support 400 may be coupled to a lower portion of the container body 100 to seal the lower end portion of the container body 100 which is opened. The upper end portion of the support 400 may have a shape corresponding to the shape of the lower end portion of the content extruding member 200 so as to contact the whole of the lower end portion of the content extruding member 200 when the content extruding member 200 descends to the bottom surface of the container body 100.

(27) For this, as shown in FIG. 6, the support 400 may include a first seating part 410 on which the recessed part 210 constituting the content extruding member 200 is seated, and a second seating part 420 on which the lower end portion of the pressure changing part 220 is seated. Here, the second seating part 420 may be formed to surround the outer circumferential surface of the first seating part 410. Also, the first seating part 410 may have a seating groove 411 formed on the central portion of the first seating part 410 so that the lower end of the rubber tip 230 can be seated on the seating groove 411.

(28) The support 400 may be configured to make contact with the whole of the lower end portion of the content extruding member 200 when the content extruding member 200 descends to the bottom surface of the container body 100. Thus, the residual contents that are unused and abandoned in the container body 100 can be minimized.

(29) Since a process of discharging contents of an extrusion-type cosmetic container according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention is similar to that of the previous embodiment, a detailed description thereof will be omitted herein.
