Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a foundation container capable of easily preventing gel-state contents from remaining and, more particularly, to a foundation container capable of easily preventing gel-state contents from remaining, wherein a content container has a bottom surface formed to be concave, and the lower side of an impregnation member corresponding to the bottom surface is formed to be convex such that the contents, which are impregnated into the impregnation member, may gather at the center of the concave bottom surface, thereby enabling the contents to be fully used up.

BACKGROUND ART

In general, cosmetics are manufactured by mixing mutually different materials having mutually different specific gravity, and the cosmetic materials may be classified into water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion type cosmetic material and oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion type cosmetic material obtained by mixing water-based material and oil-based material such as an emulsifying agent including a surface active agent.
The water-in-oil emulsion type cosmetic material has a larger quantity of oil than that of water and is oily so that the absorption of skin is slow. Although the touch feeling of the water-in-oil emulsion type cosmetic material is heavy, the persistence is longer than that of the oil-in-water emulsion type cosmetic material. The oil-in-water emulsion type cosmetic material has a larger quantity of water than that of oil and is little oily so that the absorption of skin is fast. Although the touch feeling of the water-in-oil emulsion type cosmetic material is flash and light, the persistence is low.
Therefore, the cosmetics requiring persistence are manufactured by using the W/O emulsion type cosmetic material to increase water resistance against sweat and water.
Although the touch feeling of the W/O emulsion type cosmetic material is heavy and sticky, the defects may be compensated by reducing the viscosity of content. However, when the water-in-oil product having low viscosity remains for a long time in circulation, the aqueous material of internal phase and the oil materials of external phase may be separated from each other. In this case, a user shakes a container to mix the separated aqueous and oil materials with each other for use, but it is inconvenient to shake the container for use.
To solve the problems, applicant of the present invention has developed a compact container disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1159877, where low-viscosity water-in-oil contents are impregnated into an impregnation member contained in the compact container.
In a gel-type content impregnated compact container, the gel-type contents are uniformly impregnated into the gel-type content impregnation member contained in an inner container in initial use.
However, as a customer uses the gel-type contents of the impregnation member after sticking the gel-type contents on a puff, the gel-type contents placed at an upper part of the impregnation member is used up and in addition, the gel-type contents moves from the upper part to a lower part. Thus, even though the gel-type contents remains below, when the puff makes contact with the upper surface of the impregnation member, the gel-type contents are not sufficiently stuck on the puff, so that it is very difficult to use the compact.
In this case, since the impregnation member and the inner container containing the impregnation member have flat bottoms, the gel-type contents evenly remain on the bottom of the impregnation member.
Thus, when a user attempts to use gel-type contents by stamping a puff on the upper surface of the impregnation member, the gel-type contents are rarely stuck on the puff, so that it is difficult to use the gel-type contents.
For this reason, customers separate the impregnation member from the inner container, turn over the impregnation member, and than insert the impregnation member into the inner container again to use contents. However, it may be difficult for a customer to separate the impregnation member from the inner container and the gel-type contents may be polluted while the impregnation member is coupled to the inner container. In addition, the surroundings may become dirty and it is inconvenient to use the contents.
