Abstract

A main container and a sub container for mixing cosmetic and a cosmetic product including the same provides a cosmetic product including a first container providing a first storing space which stores a first fluid, and in which fluid can be mixed; a discharging unit which discharges a fluid stored in the first container to the outside; and a second container which can be coupled to the first container, and which can discharge a second fluid stored in the second container to the first storing space. The second container has a storing state to store the second fluid and an open state to discharge the second fluid, wherein the second container to the open state by the discharging unit being coupled to the first container, and wherein as the second container is converted to the open state, the second fluid is discharged to the first storing space.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cosmetic product, comprising:
a first container providing a first storing space which stores a first fluid, and in which fluid can be mixed;
a discharging unit which discharges a fluid stored in the first container to the outside; and
a second container which can be coupled to the first container, and which can discharge a second fluid stored in the second container to the first storing space;
a rotating unit which is provided rotatably relative to the first container; and
a blade unit which is disposed inside the first container, which includes one or more blades rotating by the rotation of the rotating unit,
wherein the second container has a storing state in which the second container stores the second fluid and an open state in which the second container can discharge the second fluid,
wherein the second container is converted from the storing state to the open state by the discharging unit being coupled to the first container, and
wherein, as the second container is converted to the open state, the second fluid is discharged to the first storing space to be mixed with the first fluid.

2. The cosmetic product of claim 1 , wherein the second container includes:
an outer housing for providing a second storing space which can store the second fluid;
an inner housing disposed while being spaced apart from the outer housing; and
a first closure which is provided at a lower side of the inner housing to close a lower side of the outer housing,
wherein the first closure opens the lower side of the outer housing by the inner housing being pressed by the discharging unit.

3. The cosmetic product of claim 1 , wherein the second container includes:
an outer housing for providing a second storing space which can store the second fluid; and
an inner housing which is provided in the outer housing to be moved relative to the outer housing,
wherein a convex part is provided on an outer upper side of the outer housing,
on an upper side of the first container is provided a first projected part by which the convex part is caught,
the inner housing is moved downward relative to the outer housing by being pressed by the discharging unit while the convex part is caught by the first projected part.

4. The cosmetic product of claim 2 , wherein the inner housing includes:
a connecting part which is connected to the discharging unit; and
a second projected part by which the discharging unit is caught,
wherein the first closure opens the lower side of the outer housing by the connecting part and the second projected part being pressed by the discharging unit.

5. The cosmetic product of claim 1 , wherein the first fluid and the second fluid which have been mixed in the first storing space are discharged to the outside through a part of the second container.

6. The cosmetic product of claim 2 , wherein the inner housing is provided in a shape having an empty interior so as to serve as a dip tube connected to the discharging unit.

7. The cosmetic product of claim 2 , wherein the second container includes a second closure which is provided at an upper side of the inner housing to close an upper side of the outer housing.

8. The cosmetic product of claim 7 , wherein the second closure is provided so as to be fixed to the inner housing of the second container, and
wherein during the conversion of the second container from the storing state to the open state, the second closure slides with respect to the outer housing while being fixed to the inner housing.

9. The cosmetic product of claim 2 , wherein the first closure is provided so as to be fixed to the inner housing of the second container, and
wherein the first closure is located at a lower side of the first storing space by the discharging unit being coupled to the first container.

10. The cosmetic product of claim 7 , wherein the second closure includes an outer surface which is guided by the outer housing, and
wherein the inner housing is moved relative and parallel to the outer housing by the outer surface being guided by the outer housing.

11. The cosmetic product of claim 1 , wherein the first container and the second container are formed of a transparent material.

12. The cosmetic product of claim 1 , wherein the discharging unit includes:
a pumping part which generates pressure for pumping a mixed fluid of the first fluid and the second fluid; and
a connecting surface which is coupled to the second container,
wherein the first fluid and the second fluid which have been mixed in the first storing space are discharged to the outside of the discharging unit by the pressure of the pumping part resulting from a pressing action of a user.

13. The cosmetic product of claim 1 , wherein the blade unit includes:
a central part which receives a rotating force from the rotating unit to serves as a rotational center; and
a second container insertion part which is formed in a shape surrounding the second container,
wherein the blade is disposed around the second container insertion part, and
wherein when the second container is coupled to the first container, the second container is moved while being guided by the second container insertion part.

14. The cosmetic product of claim 13 , wherein the blade unit includes:
a first plate which is connected to the central part, and which has a shape of a plate disposed at one side of the first container; and
a second plate which is connected to the second container insertion part, and which has a shape of a plate disposed at another side of the first container,
wherein one side of the blade is connected to the first plate, and another side of the blade is connected to the second plate, and
wherein the blade has a continuous shape between the first plate and the second plate.

15. The cosmetic product of claim 1 , further comprising a driving force transferring unit, which is provided at one side of the first container, and which transfers the rotation of the rotating unit to the blade unit.
