Cosmetic container

Abstract

Provided is a cosmetic container. The cosmetic container may include a housing, on both end parts, a first opening and a second opening, respectively; a controller having at least a part exposed to an external atmosphere in one area of the housing and turning according to a user's operation; a first receiver close to the first opening, provided in the housing and accommodating a first cosmetic product; a second receiver close to the second opening, provided in the housing and accommodating a second cosmetic product; and a lifting rod connecting the first receiver and the second receiver and moving the first receiver and the second receiver in a first direction towards the first opening or in a second direction towards the second opening in response to a turning direction of the controller.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cosmetic container comprising:
 a housing having a first opening on a first end and a second opening on a second end, respectively;   a controller located in the housing, wherein a portion of the controller is exposed outside, and wherein the controller is rotated in response to an input of a user;   a first receiver located in the housing adjacent to the first opening and accommodating a first cosmetic product;   a second receiver located in the housing adjacent to the second opening and accommodating a second cosmetic product; and   a lifting rod connecting the first receiver and the second receiver and moving the first receiver and the second receiver in a first direction towards the first opening or a second direction towards the second opening, in response to a turning direction of the controller.   
     
     
         2 . The cosmetic container of  claim 1 , wherein the controller comprises:
 a control wheel, at least a portion of the control wheel exposed outside of the housing and receiving a rotation control by the user, and   a driving part transmitting a rotational force of the control wheel to the lifting rod by rotating along with the control wheel.   
     
     
         3 . The cosmetic container of  claim 2 , wherein the driving part has a through-hole where the lifting rod is inserted therein and at least one driving projection is defined on an inner surface of the through-hole,
 wherein the at least one driving projection is coupled with a guide groove having a spiral shape defined along an outer circumferential surface of the lifting rod, and   wherein the lifting rod rotatably moves in a different direction along the guide groove in reply to a rotation direction of the controller and moves in the first direction or the second direction accordingly.   
     
     
         4 . The cosmetic container of  claim 3 , wherein at least one hook projection is defined in the guide groove, and wherein the at least one restriction projection is engaged with the at least one driving projection and restricts a rotation of the controller. 
     
     
         5 . The cosmetic container of  claim 4 , wherein if the rotational force of the control wheel is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the at least one driving projection breaks away from the at least on hook projection, and the controller rotates. 
     
     
         6 . The cosmetic container of  claim 4 , wherein a number of the at least one hook projection is plural, and at least a portion of the at least one hook projection is positioned in a different location in a longitudinal direction of the lifting rod. 
     
     
         7 . The cosmetic container of  claim 4 , wherein a concave groove is defined in the at least one driving protrusion to receive the at least one hook projection. 
     
     
         8 . The cosmetic container of  claim 3 , wherein the lifting rod is integrated with at least one of the first receiver or the second receiver as one body. 
     
     
         9 . The cosmetic container of  claim 3 , wherein the housing comprises:
 a first housing where the first opening is defined; and   a second housing detachably attached to the second end which is located at opposite side from the first end.   
     
     
         10 . The cosmetic container of  claim 3 , wherein the housing has a hollow hole structure, and a support part is extended from an inner surface of the hollow hole structure, the controller being rotatably coupled to the support part.
