Abstract

Provided herein is a cosmetic vessel including a discharge unit discharging cosmetics to an outside; and a discharge plate provided at one side of the discharge unit from which the cosmetics are discharged, including at least one discharge hole, wherein the discharge plate is provided with a discharge plate processed portion made of a material different from that of the discharge plate on at least a portion of at least one surface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cosmetic vessel comprising:
an airless pump for discharging cosmetics to outside;
a discharge plate provided at one side of the airless pump from which the cosmetics is discharged, and including a plurality of discharge holes; and
a diffusion space configured to diffuse the cosmetics between the airless pump and the discharge holes to guide the cosmetics to the discharge holes,
wherein the discharge plate is made of metal, and is exposed to outside such that it may be contacted by a user's puff, and
the cosmetics is discharged from the airless pump as the discharge plate is pressed,
wherein the discharge holes do not coincide with an outlet of the airless pump, and
wherein a sealing is achieved by a close surface contact between a diffusion unit having the diffusion space and the discharge plate, and wherein the diffusion unit is provided between the airless pump and the discharge plate.

2. The cosmetic vessel of claim 1 ,
wherein the discharge plate has an upper surface and a flat lower surface, the discharge holes penetrating between the upper surface and lower surface.

3. The cosmetic vessel of claim 1 ,
wherein the discharge plate is arranged such that the cosmetics is not impregnated on one surface exposed to outside.

4. The cosmetic vessel of claim 1 ,
wherein the airless pump is an airless pump that discharges the cosmetics accommodated inside to the outlet using a piston that ascends and descends inside a cylinder.

5. The cosmetic vessel of claim 1 ,
wherein the diffusion space is continuous from the outlet of the airless pump towards a direction away from the outlet, but is discontinuous along a direction of a virtual circle centered around the outlet.

6. The cosmetic vessel of claim 1 ,
wherein the diffusion space is a discharge path that enables the cosmetics being discharged from the airless pump to flow towards the discharge holes,
the discharge path communicating with the discharge holes.

7. The cosmetic vessel of claim 1 , further comprising:
an inner rim portion fixing the diffusion unit and the discharge plate while being compressed, and
an outer rim portion coupled to a vessel body receiving the cosmetics therein and including the airless pump, and provided to outside of the inner rim portion.

8. The cosmetic vessel of claim 7 , wherein the inner rim portion is formed integrally with the discharge plate and a material of the inner rim portion is metal.

9. The cosmetic vessel of claim 1 , further comprising a close contact unit provided in the diffusion unit, and configured to achieve the sealing by making the close surface contact with the discharge plate.

10. The cosmetic vessel of claim 9 , wherein the close contact unit is made of a material different from the diffusion unit.

11. The cosmetic vessel of claim 10 , wherein the close contact unit is made of a foam resin.

12. A cosmetic vessel comprising:
an airless pump for discharging cosmetics to outside;
a discharge plate provided at one side of the airless pump from which the cosmetics is discharged, and including a plurality of discharge holes; and
a guide unit provided between the airless pump and the discharge plate, and configured to guide the cosmetics to the discharge holes,
wherein the discharge plate is exposed to outside such that it may be contacted by a user's puff,
the guide unit comprising a diffusion space provided between the airless pump and the discharge holes, and configured to deliver the cosmetics discharged from the airless pump towards the discharge holes,
the diffusion space being provided radially symmetrically around an outlet of the airless pump, and having a continuous shape towards a direction away from the outlet at the portion in which the discharge holes are positioned,
wherein the discharge holes do not coincide with the outlet of the airless pump, and
wherein a sealing is achieved by a close surface contact between the guide unit and the discharge plate.

13. The cosmetic vessel of claim 12 ,
wherein the diffusion space is continuous from the outlet of the airless pump towards a direction away from the outlet, but is discontinuous along a direction of a virtual circle centered around the outlet.

14. The cosmetic vessel of claim 12 ,
wherein the diffusion space is a discharge path that enables the cosmetics being discharged from the airless pump to flow towards the discharge holes,
the discharge path communicating with the discharge holes.

15. The cosmetic vessel of claim 12 ,
wherein the discharge plate has an upper surface and a flat lower surface, the discharge holes penetrating between the upper surface and lower surface.

16. The cosmetic vessel of claim 12 ,
wherein the discharge plate is arranged such that the cosmetics is not impregnated on one surface exposed to outside.

17. The cosmetic vessel of claim 12 ,
wherein the airless pump is an airless pump that discharges the cosmetics accommodated inside to the outlet using a piston that ascends and descends inside a cylinder.

18. A cosmetic vessel comprising:
an airless pump for discharging cosmetics;
a discharge plate provided at one side of the airless pump, and including a plurality of discharge holes through which the cosmetics passes; and
a diffusion unit provided between the airless pump and the discharge plate, and having a diffusion space for delivering the cosmetics to the plurality of discharge holes,
wherein the discharge plate is exposed to outside such that it may be contacted by a user's puff, and
a sealing is achieved by a close surface contact between the diffusion unit and the discharge plate,
the vessel further comprising a close contact unit provided in the diffusion unit, and configured to achieve the sealing by making a close surface contact with the discharge plate, and
wherein the discharge holes do not coincide with an outlet of the airless pump.

19. The cosmetic vessel of claim 18 ,
wherein the close contact unit is made of a material different from the diffusion unit or of a foam resin.

20. The cosmetic vessel of claim 18 ,
wherein the diffusion space is continuous from the outlet of the airless pump towards a direction away from the outlet, but is discontinuous along a direction of a virtual circle centered around the outlet.

21. The cosmetic vessel of claim 18 ,
wherein the diffusion space is a discharge path that enables the cosmetics being discharged from the airless pump to flow towards the discharge holes,
the discharge path communicating with the discharge holes.

22. The cosmetic vessel of claim 18 ,
wherein the discharge plate has an upper surface and a flat lower surface, the discharge holes penetrating between the upper surface and lower surface.

23. The cosmetic vessel of claim 18 ,
wherein the discharge plate is arranged such that the cosmetics is not impregnated on one surface exposed to outside.

24. The cosmetic vessel of claim 18 ,
wherein the airless pump is an airless pump that discharges the cosmetics accommodated inside to the outlet using a piston that ascends and descends inside a cylinder.
