Abstract

A tubular container includes an applicator that not only easily controls a slope degree of the support body, by installing a rotation control part at an inner side of a support body, when applying contents onto skin by using an applicator or massaging, but also prevents the deformation of an upper portion of the support body which is coupled with the applicator through a rotation control part, such that assemblability with the applicator is improved and thus separation of the applicator is prevented.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A tubular container comprising an applicator comprising:
a tube body receiving contents therein and coupled with a discharging part at an upper portion thereof;
a support body, coupled at the discharging part, forming a contents movement passage at an interior thereof such that contents discharged through the discharging part can flow in, and made of elastic material such that an upper portion thereof can rotate 360 degrees on an axis of a lower portion thereof;
an applicator, coupled to an upper portion of the support body and forming a contents discharging hole at a center portion thereof, thereby applying contents onto user's skin with an angle thereof changed by deformation of the support body according to the contour of user's skin surface;
a rotation control part inserted into the interior of the support body, supporting the applicator with an upper portion thereof coupled to an inner side of the applicator, and contacted to an inner circumferential surface of the support body, thereby controlling deformation of the support body;
a fixing body, coupled to the discharging part and encasing a lower portion of the support body, fixing the support body to the discharging part; and
an over cap, coupled to the fixing body and encasing the support body and the applicator, forming an opening/closing rod which opens/closes the contents discharging hole at an inner side.

2. The tubular container comprising an applicator of claim 1 ,
wherein the rotation control part includes a rotation axis secured at an inner side of the discharging part and controlling a slope degree of the support body, and contents movement part, extending to an upper portion of the rotation axis and closely contacted to an inner circumferential surface of the support body, having a contents inflow hole and a content movement hole such that contents moving through the contents movement passage may flow in.

3. The tubular container comprising an applicator of claim 2 ,
wherein at an outer circumferential surface of the contents movement part is formed a limiting protrusion which controls an upward movement of the contents movement part, and at an inner side of the support body is formed a supporting protrusion which supports an upper end of the limiting protrusion.

4. The tubular container comprising an applicator of claim 2 ,
wherein at an outer circumferential surface of the contents movement part is formed a separation preventing protrusion so as to prevent the applicator from being separated from the support body, and at an inner side of the applicator is formed a protrusion which meets a lower end of the separation preventing protrusion.

5. The tubular container comprising an applicator of claim 2 ,
wherein a multitude of securing protrusions are formed with an interval at an inner side of the discharging part, forming a space where contents move, so as to support a lower end of the rotation axis.

6. The tubular container comprising an applicator of claim 2 ,
wherein a rotation preventing protrusion is provided at an outer circumferential surface of the discharging part so as to prevent the fixing body from being rotated in a process that the over cap is coupled to the fixing body, and a rotation preventing groove coupled with the rotation preventing protrusion is formed at an inner circumferential surface.
