Abstract

The invention relates to a cosmetic container. According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a cosmetic container, including: a storing unit providing a first storing space which can store fluid; a discharging unit which discharges the fluid stored in the storing unit to the outside; and a fluid supporting unit which can support from a lower direction fluid which has been discharged to the outside.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cosmetic container, comprising:
a storing unit providing a first storing space which can store fluid;
a discharging unit which discharges the fluid stored in the storing unit to the outside; and
a fluid supporting unit which can support from a lower direction fluid which has been discharged to the outside;
a rotating unit which is provided rotatably relative to the storing unit; and
a blade unit including one or more blades which rotate around a rotational axis in the first storing space by rotation of the rotating unit,
wherein the blade unit includes:
a central part which receives a rotating force from the rotating unit to serve as a rotational center; and
an insertion part which is formed in a shape extending from the central part and surrounding the discharging unit.

2. The cosmetic container of claim 1 , wherein the fluid supporting unit includes a first surface which has a concave shape, so that the discharged fluid can stay therein.

3. The cosmetic container of claim 1 , wherein the fluid supporting unit includes
a second surface which presses the discharging unit; and
a third surface which moves while being guided by the discharging unit.

4. The cosmetic container of claim 1 , wherein a check valve is provided, which is coupled to one side of the fluid supporting unit so as to prevent the fluid discharged to the outside from flowing backward to the storing unit.

5. The cosmetic container of claim 1 , wherein a first valve is provided, which is provided at a part of the discharging unit to selectively close the discharge of fluid from the first storing space.

6. The cosmetic container of claim 1 , wherein the discharging unit includes:
a tube through which the fluid stored in the storing unit is intaken;
a pumping part which supports the fluid supporting unit and generates pressure for pumping the fluid stored in the storing unit; and
a connecting part which connects the tube with the pumping part.

7. The cosmetic container of claim 6 , wherein the pumping part includes:
a first part that provides a surface which is coupled to the fluid supporting unit to support the fluid supporting unit;
a second part that provides a surface on which the first part slides; and
an elastic part that is provided between the first part and the second part to provide force by which the first part is relatively moved with respect to the second part.

8. The cosmetic container of claim 1 , wherein on a lower side of the storing unit, a second storing space is formed, which has a concave shape, so that fluid can be collected below a tube for discharging the fluid to the outside.

9. The cosmetic container of claim 8 ,
wherein the second storing space is provided so as to overlap the rotational axis.

10. The cosmetic container of claim 9 ,
wherein the second storing space is provided on the central part.

11. The cosmetic container of claim 10 , wherein on a circumference of the insertion part, a cutaway portion is formed, so that fluid can flow into the second storing spaced from the first storing space.

12. The cosmetic container of claim 11 , wherein the cutaway portion includes a first cutaway portion formed at an upper side of the insertion part and a second cutaway portion formed at a lower side of the insertion part, and
wherein the fluid stored in the first storing space is introduced into the second storing space through at least one of the first cutaway portion and the second cutaway portion by rotation of the blade.

13. The cosmetic container of claim 10 , wherein the blade unit includes:
a first plate which is disposed on a lower end of the insertion part; and
a second plate which is disposed on an upper end of the insertion part, and
wherein the blade and the first plate rotate relative to each other, so that the fluid on the first plate can flow into the second storing space.

14. The cosmetic container of claim 9 , wherein a driving force transferring unit is provided, which is provided at one side of the storing unit, and which transfers rotation of the rotating unit to the blade unit.

15. The cosmetic container of claim 1 , wherein the storing unit is formed of a transparent material.

16. The cosmetic container of claim 1 , wherein the storing unit has a cylindrical shape, and a diameter of the storing unit is greater than an up and down direction length of the storing unit.
