Lip package

Abstract

The present invention relates to a lip package for accommodating a liquid cosmetic, and more particularly, to a lip package for dispensing a desired amount of a flowable liquid cosmetic such as lip gloss, wherein upon pressing a button formed on the exterior of the container, an actuating member disposed within the container raises a piston to dispense a predetermined amount of the liquid cosmetic contained in the container, thereby improving convenience of use and enabling the use thereof with one hand due to the button type structure.

1 . A lip package, comprising: 
 a container body ( 1 ) with a push button ( 4 ;  4   a ) protruding from an outer circumferential surface thereof;    a cylinder ( 11 ) coupled to the container body ( 1 ), for containing a liquid cosmetic;    a delivery member ( 2 ) coupled to the cylinder ( 11 ) and having a top surface ( 24 ) formed with a plurality of delivery holes ( 25 );    a piston ( 3 ) with the same shape and size as a cross section of the cylinder ( 11 ), the piston ( 3 ) being raised along an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder ( 11 ) to pressurize the liquid cosmetic; and    an actuating member ( 6 ;  6   a ) accommodated within the container body ( 1 ), the actuating member ( 6 ;  6   a ) vertically raising the piston ( 3 ) in response to a push operation of the push button ( 4 ;  4   a ) to deliver the liquid cosmetic through the delivery member ( 2 ).    
   
   
       2 . The lip package as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a lid ( 7 ) detachably coupled to an outer circumferential surface of the cylinder ( 11 ) to close the delivery member ( 2 ), wherein the push button ( 4 ;  4   a ) protrudes from the outer circumferential surface of the container body ( 1 ) so that upon coupling of the lid ( 7 ) to the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder ( 11 ), an end of the lid ( 7 ) can be fitted into a fixing recess ( 45 ;  45   a ) of the push button ( 4 ;  4   a ) to fix the push button ( 4 ;  4   a ).  
   
   
       3 . The lip package as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the top surface ( 24 ) of the delivery member ( 2 ) is formed to be inclined with respect to a cross section of the cylinder ( 11 ).  
   
   
       4 . The lip package as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising an absorbing member ( 8 ), including a sponge, for covering the top surface ( 24 ) of the delivery member ( 2 ).  
   
   
       5 . The lip package as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the actuating member ( 6 ) comprises: 
 a nut plate ( 70 ) to be rotated in response to the push operation of the push button ( 4 ); and    a screw bar ( 60 ) threadly engaged with the nut plate ( 70 ), the screw bar ( 60 ) being raised in response to the rotation of the nut plate ( 70 ), and    the piston ( 3 ) coupled to the screw bar ( 60 ) is raised in response to the rising of the screw bar ( 60 ).    
   
   
       6 . The lip package as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the actuating member ( 6   a ) comprises: 
 a cam ( 70   a ) vertically raised in response to the push operation of the push button ( 4   a ); and    a screw bar ( 60   a ) engaged with the cam ( 70   a ) through coupling of corresponding convex and concave portions, the screw bar ( 60   a ) being raised together the cam ( 70   a ) by a distance through which the cam ( 70   a ) is raised, and    the piston ( 3 ) coupled to the screw bar ( 60   a ) is raised in response to the rising of the screw bar ( 60   a ).    
   
   
       7 . The lip package as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the push button ( 4   a ) comprises: 
 a button portion ( 41   a ) outwardly protruding through a through-hole ( 15 ) of the container body ( 1 ); and    a moving portion ( 46   a ) extending from a side of the button portion ( 41   a ) and fixed within the container body ( 1 ),    both sidewalls ( 47   a ) of the moving portion ( 46   a ) are formed with guide rails ( 48   a ) having a level difference for operating the actuating member ( 6   a ), and distal end surfaces of the sidewalls ( 47   a ) are formed with coupling recesses ( 49   a ) to which an elastic member ( 90   a ) is coupled to allow the push button ( 4   a ) to be horizontally moved,    the cam ( 70   a ) are inserted into the guide rails ( 48   a ) of the push button ( 4   a ) so that the cam ( 70   a ) can be vertically raised in response to horizontal movement of the guide rails ( 48   a ), and    the screw bar ( 60   a ) is vertically raised in response to the vertical rising of the cam ( 70   a ).    
   
   
       8 . The lip package as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the actuating member ( 6   a ) further comprises a supporting member ( 80   a ) placed below the cam ( 70   a ) and coupled to the screw bar ( 60   a ) in a ratchet manner to support the vertical rising of the screw bar ( 60   a ).
