Powder case

Abstract

Disclosed is an improved powder case capable of efficiently dispensing contained powder. The powder case comprises a storage member 30 having a storage portion 31 for containing powder and a bellows portion 32 for enabling contraction/expansion of the storage portion 31; and a puff 40 coupled to a first end of the storage member 30 and for absorbing powder therefrom and discharging the same to the outside. A covering cap 50 is coupled with the puff 40 when the powder case is not used to prevent leak of powder and to protect the puff 40 from moisture. The puff 40 is made of a porous material such as sponge to facilitate penetration of powder and to provide soft touch to the skin. The powder case can efficiently dispense powder under compressed air obtained through contraction/expansion of the bellows portion in order to facilitate the use thereof. Since the bellows portion is contracted while the puff is contacted against the skin, powder can be efficiently discharged in compressed air. This can greatly reduce scattering of powder, thereby preventing pollution of surroundings.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A powder case comprising: 
 a storage member having a storage portion for containing powder and a bellows portion for enabling contraction/expansion of the storage portion; and    a puff coupled to a first end of the storage member and for absorbing powder therefrom and discharging the same to the outside.    
     
     
         2 . The powder case as set forth in  claim 1 , further comprising a gripping member coupled to a second end of the storage member for guiding the bellows portion in a contraction/expansion direction of the bellows portion.  
     
     
         3 . The powder case as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein the second end of the storage member is opened, 
 the powder case further comprising: 
 an extension tube extended from the gripping member for expanding the storage portion; and  
 a closing cap coupled with the extension tube for opening/closing the storage portion.  
   
     
     
         4 . The powder case as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the storage member has a hole in its bottom for compensating for powder, 
 the powder case further comprising a cap for opening/closing the hole.    
     
     
         5 . The powder case as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the puff has a channel for guiding powder from the storage member and a protective film coupled over the surface of the puff.  
     
     
         6 . A powder case comprising: 
 a puff;    a fixing member having a receiving portion for seating the puff; and    a storage member coupled with the fixing member,    wherein the storage member includes: 
 a storage portion for containing powder; and  
 a bellows portion in a middle portion of the storage member capable of contracting/expanding by external force in order to supply powder to the puff.  
   
     
     
         7 . The powder case as set forth in  claim 6 , further comprising a covering member coupled with the storage member.  
     
     
         8 . The powder case as set forth in  claim 7 , wherein the covering member includes a gripping member for detachably coupling with a second end of the storage member and a cap for detachably coupling with the gripping member.  
     
     
         9 . The powder case as set forth in  claim 6 , wherein the storage member further includes an opened upward protrusion at a first end thereof for guiding foundation powder to the puff.  
     
     
         10 . The powder case as set forth in  claim 6 , further comprising a cap for covering the puff.
