In this case, the first screw portion 222 provided on the outer circumferential portion of the screw rod portion 220 may be engaged with the second screw portion 320 provided on the inner circumferential portion of the rotating member 300.

[0074] The dial member 400 and the rotating member 300 may constitute a tray operation module V capable of displacing the tray member 200 in the vertical direction. Therefore, the tray operation module V according to the embodiment may be located in the non-center of the lower container assembly 10. According to the embodiment, the dial member 400 of the tray operation module V may be located at the lower edge of the lower container assembly 10.

[0075] Since the coupling structure is provided as described above, when the dial member 400 rotates, the rotating member 300 rotates integrally with the dial member 400, and the rotation of the rotating member 300 may be implemented as a vertical displacement of the tray member 200.

[0076] That is, when the dial member 400 is rotated as indicated by the arrow R of FIG. 6(a), the tray member 200 may be displaced in the vertical direction as indicated by the arrow Q. Accordingly, the contents fixed and supported on the tray member 200 may be raised to be exposed onto the lower container assembly 10, or the contents may be lowered to be inserted into the lower container assembly 10.

<Coupling structure and operation of the upper container assembly(20)>

[0077] The coupling structure and operation of the upper container assembly 20 will be described below.

[0078] The inner cap member 800 may be coupled to a lower portion of the button member 700. Specifically, the inner cap side portion 820 may be fitted and fixed in the button space portion 730. The button member 700 and the inner cap member 800 may be coupled to each other to constitute the overcap button module C. In this case, the inner cap bottom portion 830 may be positioned inward relative to the button side portion 720 and may further extend downward.

[0079] The overcap button module C may be inserted into the overcap member 600. Specifically, the overcap button module C may be inserted into an upper portion of the overcap space portion 612 of the overcap member 600. In this case, an overcap rib portion 614 may be positioned between the first button protrusion 712 provided on the outer circumferential portion of the button top portion 710 of the button member 700 and the second button protrusion 722 provided on the lower outer circumferential portion of the button side portion 720. Accordingly, the overcap button module C may move in the vertical direction as shown by the arrow P of FIG. 6(b) without being separated from the overcap member 600 within the upper portion of the overcap space portion 612.

<Coupling and separation of the lower container assembly(10) and the upper container assembly 20>

[0080] The coupling and separation of the lower container assembly 10 and the upper container assembly 20 will be described below.

[0081] As shown in FIG. 1(c), the lower container assembly 10 may be inserted upward from below into the upper container assembly 20. The contents contained in the lower container assembly 10 may be covered by the upper container assembly 20.

[0082] As shown in FIG. 6(b), when the upper container assembly 20 and the lower container assembly 10 are coupled to each other, a guide space, which is a gap space opened downward, is formed between the inner cap bottom portion 830 and the overcap body portion 610 of the inner cap member 800, and the upper end of the inner container body portion 110 may be inserted into the guide space. Therefore, the upper end of the inner container body portion 110 may contact the lower end of the button side portion 720. Accordingly, it is possible to seal the contents filled in the inner container space portion 112 and improve the protection effect on the contents.

[0083] In addition, as shown in FIG. 6(a), when the upper container assembly 20 and the lower container assembly 10 are coupled to each other, a side portion of the dial member 400 included in the lower container assembly 10 may be covered and hidden by the overcap member 600. Accordingly, when the upper container assembly 20 and the lower container assembly 10 are coupled to each other, most portions of the lower container assembly 10 can be concealed, except for its lower bottom surface portion.

[0084] When the contents are to be used, the lower container assembly 10 may be separated from the upper container assembly 20 by pressing the overcap button module C provided in the upper container assembly 20 in the downward direction of the arrow P of FIG. 6(b).

<Method of Filling Contents in Contents Container 1 According to Embodiment>

[0085] FIGS. 7(a) and 7(b) show a method of filling the contents in the contents container 1 according to the embodiment, and each shows a filling method according to different embodiments.

[0086] First, referring to FIG. 7(a), one method of filling the contents in the contents container 1 may be a method of filling the contents of a liquid or semi-liquid into the inner container space portion 112 as shown by arrow A in a state in which the lower container assembly 10 is upright. An embodiment in which this method is available may be an embodiment in which the tray bottom surface portion 212 of the tray member 200 is closed. That is, it may be an embodiment in which the contents are blocked so that they do not flow downward through the bottom surface of the tray of the tray member 200. That is, each of the first open portion 226 of the screw rod portion 220 and the second open portion 234 of the center rod portion 230 may be in a sealed state.

[0087] This filling method may be described as a front filling method because the filling of the contents is performed in a position in which the contents container 1 is upright in a regular position.

[0088] Next, referring to FIG. 7(b), another method of filling the contents container 1 with the contents may be performed in a posture in which the contents container 1 is turned upside down in a vertical direction in a state in which the lower container assembly 10 and the upper container assembly 20 are coupled to each other, with the dial member 400 and the support member 500 are separated from the lower container assembly 10. In this state, the contents may be filled in the inner container space portion 112 through the second hollow portion 232 of the center rod portion 230 as shown by the arrow B. An embodiment in which this method is available may be an embodiment in which the tray bottom surface portion 212 of the tray member 200 is opened. That is, the second open portion 234 of the second hollow portion 232 of the center rod portion 230 may be in an open state so that the contents may be injected into the inner container space portion 112 through the bottom surface of the tray of the tray member 200. In addition, according to the embodiment, the first hollow portion 224 provided in the screw rod portion 220 may also have an embodiment having a first open portion 226. As described above, since the first open portion 226 is in an open state, an air vent may be formed as shown by the arrow H in the process of filling the contents.

[0089] This filling method may be described as a back filling method because the contents are filled in a position in which the contents container 1 is reversed up and down.

<Effect of the Contents Container 1 According to the Embodiment>

[0090] Hereinafter, an effect of the contents container 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0091] In the contents container 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the tray operation module V may be located in the non-center of the lower container assembly 10. Accordingly, space utilization of the entire lower container assembly 10 and the contents container 1 may increase. In addition, since the tray operation module V is located in the non-center of the lower container assembly 10 and the area in which the dial member 400 provided in the tray operation module V is exposed in the lateral direction is enlarged, the user's manipulation convenience with respect to the tray operation module V may be improved. In addition, when only one support member 500 is inserted into the lower portion of the lower container assembly 10 in a state in which the lower container assembly 10 and the upper container assembly 20 are coupled to each other, the other portion except the lower surface of the tray operation module V is sealed, thereby reducing the number of components and providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0092] The contents container 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention may have a structure in which the tray member 200 is symmetrical in the left-right direction. That is, the screw rod portion 220 may be symmetrically provided at both sides of the center rod portion 230 with respect to the center rod portion 230. Accordingly, when the tray member 200 is coupled to the inner container member 100, the assembly may be performed without considering directionality.

[0093] In addition, since the tray member 200 has a symmetrical structure in the left and right directions, even when the dial member 400 is operated on one side, it is possible to prevent the tray member 200 from being inclined. Accordingly, user convenience may be improved.

[0094] In addition, in the contents container 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, a content filling method may be selected by a user's selection. That is, as described above, the front filling method and the back filling method may be selected, respectively. In addition, when the back filling method is used, since the contents are filled through the center rod portion 230 positioned at the center of the tray member 200, the contents may be evenly filled. In addition, according to the embodiment, since the first hollow portion 224 provided in the screw rod portion 220 has the first open portion 226, the air vent is achieved, and thus the air pocket phenomenon that may occur in the content filling process may be improved.

[0095] In addition, as the tray operation module V is located in the non-center of the contents container 1, the center rod portion 230 used for filling the contents may be located in the center of the contents container 1 when the back filling method is used. In addition, the screw rod portion 220 having the first hollow portion 224 used for the air vent may be symmetrically positioned on the left and right sides of the center rod portion 230. Therefore, the filling of the contents and the air venting may be more effectively performed.

[0096] In addition, in the contents container 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the lower container assembly 10 is entirely inserted into the upper container assembly 20, and when the lower container assembly 10 is inserted into the upper container assembly 20, the side portion of the dial member 400 included in the lower container assembly 10 may not be exposed to the outside. Therefore, the contents container 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention provides an integrated object mass feeling without bending, thereby providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0097] Although the exemplary embodiments have been illustrated and described above, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made by a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs without departing from the gist of the present invention claimed in the claims, and such modifications should not be individually understood from the technical idea or the prospect of the present invention.
