body (10), such that the button member blade portion (42) of the button member (40)
is vertically fitted into the guide groove (13) formed inside the button member support
(12) of the container body (10).
[0070] At this time, the coupling groove (44) of the button member (40) is coupled with
the coupling protrusion (14) of the container body (10), in which the round lower
edge (46) of the button member blade portion (42) smoothly rides over the inclined
upper surface (142) of the coupling protrusion (14) to allow the coupling groove (44)
to be easily coupled with the coupling protrusion (14) as shown in FIG. 8, and once
the coupling groove (44) is coupled with the coupling protrusion (14), the coupling
groove (44) is prevented from being separated from the coupling protrusion (14) due
to the angular lower surface (144) of the coupling protrusion (14) as shown in FIG.
9.
[0071] Next, the inner container member (30) is assembled as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in
which the push plate (311) is fitted into the inner container (31), the cosmetic material
is injected into the inner container (31), the pump support (32) is coupled to the
upper portion of the inner container (31), the pump (33) is installed on the upper
portion of the pump support (32), the distribution plate (34) is coupled to the upper
portion of the up-down movement member (336) of the pump (33), the ring button (35)
is mounted on the upper portion of the distribution plate (34), and the discharge
plate (36) is seated on the upper portion of the ring button (35) while being seated
on the upper surface of the distribution plate (34).
[0072] Next, the inner container member (30) assembled as described above is inserted into
the container body (10) having one side hinge-coupled with the container lid (20).
[0073] Finally, the fixing member (50) is coupled to the upper portion of the inner container
member (30), in which the fixing member (50) has the mounting groove (51) coupled
to the mounting protrusion (16) of the container body (10), and has the axial coupling
groove (52) fitted with the axial protrusion (352) of the ring button (35), thereby
completing the assembly of the compact container having the button member enabling
the easy assembly according to the present invention.
[0074] Hereinafter, a method of using the compact container having the button member enabling
the easy assembly, which is assembled as described above, will be described.
[0075] FIG. 10 is a plan view showing the container body, the container lid, and the button
member of the compact container having the button member enabling the easy assembly
according to the present invention, and FIG. 11 is a plan view showing a state in
which the button member of the compact container having the button member enabling
the easy assembly according to the present invention is pressed.
[0076] In order to use the compact container having the button member enabling the easy
assembly according to the present invention, first, the button member (40) is pressed
to open the container lid (20) from the container body (10).
[0077] At this time, the button member blade portion (42) of the button member (40) is spread
rightward and leftward and horizontally moves while being pushed rightward and leftward
in a state that the coupling groove (44) is coupled with the coupling protrusion (14),
so that the button member (40) may move back and forth without fluctuating up and
down.
[0078] Next, the pressing portion (351) of the ring button (35) or the upper surface of
the discharge plate (36) is pressed.
[0079] When the pressing portion (351) is pressed, the ring button (35) is tilted and moves
downward, and the distribution plate (34) mounted at a lower side of the ring button
(35) moves downward together with the ring button (35).
[0080] In addition, when the discharge plate (36) is directly pressed, the distribution
plate (34) coupled to the discharge plate (36) is pressed and moves downward together
with the discharge plate (36), and the up-down movement member (336) of the pump (33)
coupled to the distribution plate (34) moves downward.
[0081] The piston (334) coupled to a lower side of the up-down movement member (336) moves
downward together with the up-down movement member (336) by the downward movement
of the up-down movement member (336). At this time, since the piston ring (335) makes
close contact with the inner side surface of the cylinder (331), only the piston (334)
moves downward to generate a gap between the piston (334) and the piston ring (335),
thereby forming a discharge passage for the cosmetic material.
[0082] Thereafter, when the up-down movement member (336) is continuously pressed, the piston
ring (335) makes contact with the up-down movement member (336) and moves downward
together with the piston (334), so that a volume inside the cylinder (331) is reduced.
Accordingly, the cosmetic material accommodated in the cylinder (331) flows out between
the piston (334) and the piston ring (335), passes through the discharge passage (336d)
of the up-down movement member (336), passes through the content discharge path (342)
of the distribution plate (34), and is discharged through the discharge hole (361)
of the discharge plate (36).
[0083] At the same time, the suction valve plate (332) closes the content suction hole (338)
formed in the bottom surface of the cylinder (331) by a discharge pressure in the
cylinder (331).
[0084] Then, when the pressing of the pressing portion (351) of the ring button (35) or
the discharge plate (36) is released, due to the elasticity of the elastic member
(337) for elastically supporting the up-down movement member (336), the up-down movement
member (336) moves upward, and the piston (334) coupled to the lower side of the up-down
movement member (336) moves upward. At this time, as an expansion protrusion wheel
(334a formed on an outer side of the lower end of the piston (334) pulls the piston
ring (335) upward, the gap between the piston (334) and the piston ring (335) is blocked,
and the piston (334) and the piston ring (335) move upward together, so that the volume
inside the cylinder (331) is increased, resulting in generation of a vacuum pressure.
[0085] As a suction valve blade (332a) of the suction valve plate (332) is lifted by the
vacuum pressure generated inside the cylinder (331), the content suction hole (338)
formed in the bottom surface of the cylinder (331) is opened, so that the cosmetic
material accommodated in the inner container (31) is introduced into the cylinder
(331) through the content suction hole (338) while the push plate (311) installed
in the inner container (31) moves upward.
[0086] As described above, although the compact container having the button member enabling
easy assembly according to one embodiment of the present invention has been described
for illustrative purposes, the present invention is not limited thereto. It is understood
that various changes and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without
departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as disclosed in the appended
claims.
