It should be understood that embodiments shown in the drawings are not to limit the scope of the invention, but merely to illustrate the true spirit of the technical solution of the present invention.

[0022] In the description below, some specific details are elaborated for the purpose of explaining various disclosed embodiments to provide a thorough understanding of them. However, those skilled in the art will realize that embodiments can be practiced without one or more of these specific details. In other cases, the familiar device, structure and technology associated with this application may not be presented or described in detail to avoid unnecessary confusion of the description of the embodiment.

[0023] The reference to ' one embodiment ' or ' an embodiment ' throughout the instruction indicates that the specific characteristics, structure or features described in combination with the embodiment are included in at least one embodiment. Therefore, the occurrence of ' in one embodiment ' or ' in an embodiment ' at various locations throughout the instruction need not all refer to the same embodiment. Moreover, specific characteristics, structure, or features can be combined in any way in one or more embodiments.

[0024] In the following description, in order to clearly demonstrate the structure and working mode of the invention, many directional words will be used, but words such as ' front ', ' back ', ' left ', ' right ', ' outside ', ' inside ', ' outward ', ' inward ', ' up ', ' down ' should be understood as convenient terms, not as restrictive words.

[0025] The present invention relates to a cosmetic container for installing cosmetics such as a lipstick. The cosmetic container 100 of an embodiment according to the present invention will be further described below in combination with Figs. 1-3. Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the cosmetic container 100 of an embodiment according the present invention. Figs. 2-3 are cross-sectional views of the cosmetic container 100 installed with lipsticks in different states of an embodiment according to the present invention. As shown in Figs. 1-3, the cosmetic container 100 comprises a housing 10, an operating member 20, a movable member 30, a driving member 40 and an elastic member 50. The movable member 30, the driving member 40 and the elastic member 50 are all provided in the housing 10, wherein the movable member 30 is used to install devices such as a middle bundle 200 and is arranged in a lower part of the housing 10. The elastic member 50 is provided at the bottom of the housing 10 and located below the movable member 30 to drive the movable member 30 to move upward. The driving member 40 is provided above the movable member 30 and limit the movable member 30 at a first position (the position shown in Fig. 2), wherein a side wall of the housing 10 is provided with an operating area 13, and the operating member 20 is provided at the operating area 13 and cooperates with the movable member 30 to limit the movable member 30 at a second position, and by operating the operating member 20 to remove from the position for limiting the movable member 30, the movable member 30 moves upward from the second position to the first position under the elastic force of the elastic member 50. For example, with reference to Figs. 2-3, the cosmetic container 100 is used to install a lipstick, which is installed in the middle bundle 200, and the middle bundle 200 is installed in the housing 10.In particular, the middle bundle 200 is installed in the movable member 30 and is driven by the movable member 30. When it is not used or carried, the movable member 30 is limited to the second position in the housing 10 by the operating member 20. At this time, the middle bundle 200 is fully accommodated in the housing 10. When the lipstick is needed to be used, the operating member 20 is operated by, for example, pressing, and then the operating member 20 is concaved inwards and does not limit the position of the movable member 30, so that the movable member 30 drives the middle bundle 200 and the lipstick to move upwards under the elastic force of the elastic portion 50 and moves from the second position to the first position to push the middle bundle out of the housing, so as to facilitate an user to get and use.

[0026] It can be seen that in the present invention the movable member 30 can be moved back and forth between the first position and the second position through ingenious cooperation of the operating member 20, the movable member 30 and the driving member 40, and thus the middle bundle and the lipstick can be moved inward and outward the housing, which is very convenient for users to get and use the lipstick. What's more, the moving member is limited to the first position only through the cooperation of the operating member and the moving member, and the moving member can be limited in the second position only through the cooperation of the driving member and the moving member. Compared with the technical solution that needs multiple components to limit the moving member in one position, the technical solution of the present invention reduces machining accuracy requirement, and thus saves processing costs, and at the same time also ensures the sensitivity of the operation.

[0027] Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the driving member of an embodiment according to the present invention. As shown in Fig. 4, in an embodiment, the driving member 40 is provided with an elastic portion 41, which is cooperated with the operating member 20. When the movable member 30 is moved from the first position to the second position, the elastic portion 41 applies an elastic force to the operating member 20 to push the operating member 20 to move outward and the bottom of the operating member 20 is aligned with the top edge of the movable member 30, thereby limiting the movable member 30 at the second position.

[0028] Optionally, as shown in Fig. 4, the driving member 40 as a whole forms a annular structure and forms a driving port 42 on a side wall. The driving port 42 as a whole forms an inverted ' U ' shape groove. The elastic portion 41 comprises a first elastic portion 411 and a second elastic portion 412. The first elastic portion 411 and the second elastic portion 412 are respectively extended from both sides of the driving port 42 toward each other and are separated by a certain distance in the middle. In the present embodiment, the first elastic portion 411 and the second elastic portion 412 are extended from both sides of the ' U ' shape groove respectively toward each other. Compared with the present solution, a technical solution that a single elastic member is provided at the top of the inverted ' U ' shape groove, will cause a problem when using, that is, when a finger presses an upper or side edge of the operating member 20, the bouncing moving of the movable member 30 cannot be activated, i.e., the operating member 20 cannot overcome the elastic force of the elastic portion of the driving member 40, and only by pressing the middle or lower part of the operating member 20 the bouncing moving of the movable member 30 can be activated. This is mainly because that when the finger applies force on the root or bottom of the elastic portion, the force cannot be transmitted to the end of the elastic portion to overcome the elastic force of the elastic portion, and only when the force of the finger is applied to the end of the elastic portion, the elastic force of the elastic portion can be overcome enough to activate the bouncing moving of the movable member 30, thus the movable member 30 drives the middle bundle to move from the second position to the first position. In contrast, the technical solution of this embodiment according to the present invention is improved through providing double elastic members from left and right sides of the driving port 42, which can ensure that the bouncing moving of the movable member can be activated by pressing the operating member in the upper portion, middle portion and lower portion, which is easier to operate and greatly improves using experience of a user.

[0029] Optionally, in one embodiment, the roots of the first elastic portion 411 and the second elastic portion 412 are connected to both sides of the port and the end of the first elastic portion 411 and the second elastic portion 412 are raised outward and extended out of the outer side wall of the driving member in a natural state, so that when the operating member 20 is installed in the operating area 13 of the housing 10, the first elastic portion 411 and the second elastic portion 412 can apply elastic force to the operating member 20 in a natural state. Of course, the skilled person in the art can understand that in some embodiments, only one elastic portion can be provided.

[0030] Fig. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the housing 10 of an embodiment according to the present invention. As shown in Fig. 5, in an embodiment, the housing 10 comprises an outer housing 11 and an inner housing 12. Height of the inner housing 12 is lower than the height of the outer housing 11, and the inner housing is installed in the outer housing and arranged in a lower part of the outer housing. Optionally, the outer housing 11 is formed as a cylindrical shape and has an open upper end and an open lower end, and the inner housing 12 has an open upper end and an close lower end. When the inner housing 12 is installed in the outer housing 11, the outer housing 11 is sleeved outside the inner housing 12, and the bottom of the inner housing 12 is the bottom of the whole housing 10, and the movable member 30 is installed in the inner housing 12. The operating area 13 is an operating window provided on the side wall of the outer housing 11, and the inner housing 12 is provided with an avoidance port 121 on the corresponding part of the operating window, and an avoidance groove 122 is provided below the avoidance port 121. Optionally, the avoidance port 121 extends downward from the top of the inner housing 12 and is connected to the avoidance groove 122. The width of the avoidance groove 122 is less than the width of the avoidance port 121 and the bottom part of the avoidance groove 122 is closed to form an avoidance groove bottom 123.

[0031] Optionally, the outer wall of the inner housing 12 is provided with multiple vertical limiting ribs, and the inner wall of the outer housing 11 is provided with multiple vertical limiting grooves. The inner housing is fixedly installed in the outer housing through cooperation of the multiple vertical limiting ribs and the multiple vertical limiting grooves.

[0032] In an embodiment, returning to reference to Fig. 4, the upper part of the driving member 40 is provided with an annular protrusion 43 protruded outward, which is cooperated with the top of the inner housing 12 and thickness of the wall above the driving port 42 is thinner to form a groove equal to the width of the driving port 42. The driving port 42 and the avoidance port 121 have a substantially equal width and are installed accordingly. When the driving member 40 is installed in the inner housing 12, the bottom of the annular protrusion 43 of the driving member 40 is pressed on the top of the inner housing 12, and the driving port 42 is aligned with the avoidance port 121, and the outer wall of the annular protrusion 43 of the driving member 40 and the outer wall of the inner housing 12 are located on the same cylindrical surface and installed together in the outer housing 11, and the ends of the first elastic portion 411 and the second elastic portion 412 are raised and extended beyond the outer wall of the inner housing 12.

[0033] Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the movable member 30 of an embodiment according to the present invention. As shown in Fig. 6, in an embodiment, the upper end of the movable member 30 is opened to accommodate such as a middle bundle for installing cosmetics and an opening 31 is formed on the side wall of the movable member 30. The side wall below the opening 31 protrudes outward for a certain distance to form an accommodation portion 32, that is, compared with the inner wall of the inner housing 12, the inner wall of the accommodation portion 32 is protruded outward to form a chamber to cooperate with the operating member 20. At the same time, the accommodation portion 32 cooperates with the avoidance groove 122 of the inner housing 12 and is embedded in the avoidance groove 122 during installation to limit the rotation of the movable member 30 in the lower housing 12. That is, the left and right positions of the accommodation portion 32 are limited by the avoidance groove 122, so that the movable member 30 can only be moved up and down in the inner housing 12 and cannot be rotated toward left or right.

[0034] Optionally, returning to reference to Fig.5, the bottom of the avoidance groove 122 is higher than the bottom of the inner housing 12, and the movable member 30 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member 50 to move downward to a certain position, and the bottom of the accommodation portion 32 (which protrudes outwards beyond the outer wall of the inner housing 12) abuts against the bottom of the avoidance groove 123, thereby limiting the further downward movement of the movable member 30.

[0035] Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the operating member 20 of an embodiment according to the present invention. As shown in Fig. 7, in an embodiment, the operating member 20 comprises an operating body 21 and a locking portion 22 extending downward from the operating body 21. The outer wall of the locking portion 22 is lowered by a certain distance from the outer wall of the operating body 21 so that it can reach into the accommodation portion 32 of the movable member 30 when being pressed and can move outward with the elastic force of the elastic portion 41 of the driving member and cooperate with the top 321 of the accommodation portion 32 of the movable member 30 to limit the movable member to move upward under the elastic force and thus limit the movable member 30 in the first position.

[0036] Returning to Fig. 1 and Fig. 6, in one embodiment, the cosmetic container 100 further comprises an annular magnet and an annular counterweight block. The bottom of the movable member 30 is provided with a protruding portion 33 that protrudes downward. The annular magnet and the annular counterweight block are successively sleeved on the outer side of the protruding portion 33, wherein, the annular magnet has a thinner thickness and thus is lighter in weight. Therefore, in order to obtain an excellent technical effect, the annular counterweight block is used. The upper end of the elastic member is sleeved on the outer side of the annular magnet and the annular counterweight block, and the lower end of the elastic member is installed on the bottom of the inner housing.

[0037] In an embodiment, the cosmetic container further comprises an annular magnet iron 60. A protruding portion 33 protruding downward is provided at the bottom of the movable member 30. The inner diameter of the annular magnet iron 60 matches the outer diameter of the protruding portion 33. The height of the annual magnet iron 60 is equal to the height of the protruding portion 33 and the annual magnet iron 60 is sleeved on the outer side of the protruding portion 33. The elastic member 50 is a spring. The upper end of the spring is sleeved on the outer side of the annular magnet iron 60, and the lower end of the spring is installed on the bottom of the inner housing 12. Compared to the technical solution using magnet together with counterweight, the technical solution only using annular magnet iron 60 which is formed by magnetizing annular iron can save one component, so as to facilitate installation and save costs.

[0038] Optionally, the height of the locking portion 22 of the operating part 20 is substantially equal to the height of the protruding portion 33 of the movable member 30 and equal to the distance between the first position and the second position.

[0039] In one embodiment, both side walls of the avoidance port 121 of inner housing are provided with transverse limiting position grooves 125 which are symmetrically arranged with respect to the avoidance port 121, and the side wall opposite to the avoidance port is provided with a vertical limiting position groove 126. The driving member 40 is provided with transverse limiting position ribs 45 cooperated with the transverse limiting position grooves 125 and a vertical limiting position rib 46 cooperated with the vertical limiting position groove 126, to firmly fix the driving member 40 in the inner housing 12 when the driving member 40 is installed in the inner housing 12.

[0040] In one embodiment, the cosmetic container of the present invention further includes a middle bundle 200, which is installed in the housing for installing cosmetics such as lipstick, wherein the middle bundle is formed by injection molding with plastic added iron-containing powder. The magnet iron 60 applies magnetic force to the middle bundle when the middle bundle is installed in the housing 10.

[0041] Referring to Figs. 2-3, during installation, the annular magnet iron 60 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the protruding portion 33 at the bottom of the movable member 30, and the upper end of the elastic member 50 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the annular magnet iron. Then the movable member 30 installed with the annular magnet and the elastic member is arranged in the inner housing 12. The opening of the movable member 30 is aligned with the avoidance port 121 of the inner housing 12. The accommodation portion 32 of the moving member 30 extends out of the avoidance groove 122 of the inner housing 12. The lower end of the elastic member 50 abuts against the bottom of the inner housing 12, and then the driving member 40 is installed on the upper part of the inner housing 12. The driving port 42 of the driving member 40 is substantially aligned with the avoidance port 121 of the inner housing 12. The bottom side wall of the driving member 40 is aligned with the upper side wall of the movable member 30. When the annular protrusion 43 on the upper end of the driving member 40 abuts against the top of the inner housing 12, the top 321 of the accommodation portion 32 of the movable member 30 is substantially flush with the bottom of the avoidance port 121 of the inner housing 12, and the elastic member 50 is in a slightly compressed state and maintains a small upward elastic force. The driving member 40 is clamped and fixed though matching the transverse limiting position grooves on the inner house with the transverse limiting ribs and by matching the vertical limiting position groove on the inner housing with the vertical limiting position rib. That is to say, if the transverse limiting position ribs and the vertical limit rib are not respectively snapped into the transverse limiting position grooves and the vertical limiting position groove, the movable member and the driving member may move up a certain distance under the elastic force of the elastic member. However, the positions of the driving member and the moving member are limited by respectively snapping the transverse limiting position ribs of the driving member into the transverse limiting position grooves of the inner housing and snapping the vertical limiting position ribs of the driving member into the vertical limiting position groove of the inner housing to resist the small elastic force of the elastic member, so as to limit the position of the moving member and the driving member, that is, the position of the moving member is limited at the first position by the driving member, and then the inner housing 12 installed with the movable member, the driving member, the magnet iron and the elastic member is fixed in the outer housing 11. Then the operating member 20 is installed in the outer housing 10 and the operating body 21 is right facing the operating window 13 and protrudes from the operating window 13 to be the same cylindrical surface as the outer wall of the outer housing 11. The top of the operating member 20 can optionally form an inward recessed structure to snap into the housing, and the locking portion 22 at the bottom of the operating member 20 protrudes into the accommodation portion 32 of the movable member 30 or aligns with the top surface of the accommodation portion 32 to limit position of the movable member. The middle bundle 200 is installed in the housing and is adsorbed at the bottom of the movable member 30 via the magnetic force of the magnet iron 60. The movable member 30 is limited to the first position by the alignment stop of the locking portion 22 of the operating member 20 and the accommodation portion of the movable member 30, at this time, the middle bundle and cosmetics such as lipstick are accommodated in the housing. When needed to be used, the body of the elastic member is operated such as pressing to overcome the elastic force of the elastic portion of the elastic member, and the locking portion moves inward and leaves away from the top of the accommodation portion. Under the elastic force of the elastic member 60, the movable member 30 moves upward, and the locking portion of the operating member extends into the accommodation portion, and the movable member drives the middle bundle and cosmetics such as lipstick to move upwards and beyond the top of the housing, and users can easily take out cosmetics such as lipstick for use.

[0042] It should be noted that the middle bundle can also be replaced by other cosmetic carriers, such as mascara, and when the cosmetic container is in a closed state, the middle bundle can also be limited in the housing by snaps etc.

[0043] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but it should be understood that those skilled in the art can make many modifications and changes according to the content of the present invention. These equivalent forms also fall within the scope of the claims attached to this application.
