Cosmetics Container for Containing Cosmetics

Abstract

Disclosed is a cosmetics container for containing cosmetics. The cosmetics container has a casing, a sponge, and an opening/closing member. The casing contains liquid or powdered cosmetics, and is formed with a discharge port for discharging the cosmetics outside. The sponge is assembled on an outside of the casing on which the discharge port is formed, and the cosmetics permeates to the sponge so that the cosmetics is provided outside thereof. The opening/closing member is disposed on the casing at the discharge port so as to close the discharge port, and is deformed by a deformation of the sponge due to an outside force applied to the sponge so that the discharge port is open. When using the cosmetics container that the sponge is assembled with the casing for containing cosmetics, the amount of the cosmetics discharged through the sponge can be controlled easily since the powder is supplied to the sponge when the sponge is contacted with and pressed by the skin.

1 . Cosmetics container comprising:
 a casing for containing liquid or powdered cosmetics, the casing being formed with a discharge port on an area thereof, the discharge port for discharging the cosmetics outside;   a sponge being assembled on an outside of the casing on which the discharge port is formed, the sponge to which the cosmetics discharged outside the casing through the discharge port permeates so that the cosmetics is provided outside thereof; and   an opening/closing member so disposed on the casing near the discharge port as to close the discharge port, the opening/closing member being deformed by a deformation of the sponge due to an outside force applied to the sponge so that the discharge port is open,   wherein the casing comprises a lower casing for containing the cosmetics, and an upper casing assembled with the lower casing and having the discharge port, and   the opening/closing member comprises,   a plate portion of which edge is disposed to be fixed between the lower casing and the upper casing, the plate portion being formed with passage holes for allowing passage of the cosmetics;   an opening/closing portion for maintaining close state of the discharge port by an elastic force of the plate portion; and   an actuating portion being moved by the deformation of the sponge so that the opening/closing portion opens the discharge port.   
   
   
       3 . The cosmetics container as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the edge of the opening/closing member is formed over all area that the lower casing and the upper casing are in contact with each other. 
   
   
       4 . The cosmetics container as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the opening/closing member is made of flexible material. 
   
   
       5 . The cosmetics container as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the plate portion, the opening/closing portion, and the actuating portion are formed integrally in a body. 
   
   
       6 . The cosmetics container as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the plate portion is located on an inside of the casing, the opening/closing portion is disposed near the discharge port, and the actuating portion is extended to be in contact with the inner surface of the sponge. 
   
   
       7 . The cosmetics container as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a pressing member disposed between the actuating portion and an inner surface of the sponge, the pressing member being in contact with the inner side of the sponge so as to provide a surface pressed by the deformation of the sponge. 
   
   
       8 . The cosmetics container as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a supporting member fixed on the casing and made of flexible material, the supporting member being covered by the sponge so as to maintain an appearance of the sponge, the supporting member having a passage hole connected with the discharge port of the casing, the passage hole through which the actuating portion passes. 
   
   
       9 . The cosmetics container as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the opening/closing member has a plurality of said actuating portions respectively extended from the opening/closing portion toward an inner surface of the sponge, and a plurality of said opening/closing portions corresponding to said actuating portions respectively. 
   
   
       10 . The cosmetics container as claimed in  claim 9 , further comprising a supporting member fixed on the casing and made of flexible material, the supporting member being covered by the sponge so as to maintain an appearance of the sponge,
 wherein the supporting member has a plurality of holes connected with the discharge port, the passage holes through which said plurality of actuating portions pass respectively so as to be opened/closed by said plurality of opening/closing portions.   
   
   
       11 . The cosmetics container as claimed in  claim 10 , further comprising a pressing member disposed between the actuating portion and an inner surface of the sponge, the pressing member being in contact with the inner surface of the sponge so as to provide a surface pressed by the deformation of the sponge.
