DUAL TYPE MANICURE CONTAINER

Technical Field

[1] The present invention relates to a dual type manicure container, and more particularly, to a dual type manicure container in which brushes are formed in both sides of a cap section and containers for containing different enamel or solution are respectively coupled to both sides of the cap section, one brush being used to smear liquid topcoat or enamel contained in one container and the other brush being used to smear different enamel or solution contained in the other container.

Background Art

[2] In general, a manicure container according to the related art is composed of a brush

102 that is formed in the lower end portion of a brush rod 101 which is integrally formed with a cap or coupled to the inside of the cap and a container 103 for containing liquid enamel in the space of a glass bottle, as shown in Fig. 11. With the cap being coupled to the container 103, the brush 102 is inserted to smear enamel. Then, the brush 102 is pulled out of the container 103 to apply the enamel on a fingernail or toenail.

Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem

[3] General manicure containers including the above manicure container can contain only one color of enamel in the container 103. Therefore, in order to apply a different color of enamel on a fingernail or toenail, a user must be provided with another manicure container having a different color of enamel. When the user carries two different manicure containers in her purse, the space of the purse is occupied by the manicure containers, so that the inner space of the purse cannot be effectively utilized.

[4] Since the container 103 formed of a glass bottle weighs too much, the purse becomes heavy when carrying two or more manicure containers. Further, the container

103 can be broken by the user's carelessness.

[5] In addition, the brush 102 of the above-described manicure container is dipped into enamel contained in the container 103 to smear enamel, and excessive enamel is smeared on the brush 102 and the brush rod 101. Therefore, when the brush 102 is used, the enamel smeared on the brush rod 101 drips down, or an excessive amount of enamel can form on the brush 102 to be applied on a fingernail or toenail.

For this, topcoat or enamel having a specific color is contained in the first container 1, the first brush 34 formed in one side of the cap section 3 is inserted into the space of the first container 1, and remover such as acetone is contained in the second container 2.

[47] Here, the topcoat is applied on enamel so as to coat the enamel. When enamel having a color is applied, the topcoat serves to make the color of enamel clearer and more polished.

[48] As shown in Fig. 1, the dual type manicure container according to the first embodiment of the invention is composed of the first container 1, the second container 2, and the cap section 3 having the first brush 34 formed therein.

[49] The first container 1 has a space formed therein so as to contain topcoat or liquid enamel having a specific color. On the outer circumference of an opening section 10 formed in the upper portion of the first container 1, a screw thread is formed to be coupled to one side of the cap section 3.

[50] Into the opening section 10 of the first container 1, a wiper 11 is coupled to wipe off topcoat or enamel which is excessively smeared on the first brush 34 and the outer circumference of brush rod 33 of the first brush 34 when the first brush 34 formed in one side of the cap section 3 is inserted into and then pulled out from the container space.

[51] The second container 2 has a space formed therein so as to contain remover. On the outer circumference of an opening section 20 formed in the upper portion of the second container 2, a screw thread is formed to be coupled to the other side of the cap section 3.

[52] Here, the first and second containers 1 and 2 are formed of synthetic resin having

chemical resistance so that the containers are not deformed due to chemical properties of the topcoat, enamel, and remover contained in the space and the liquid enamel or topcoat does not dry up. In addition, it is preferable that the first and second containers 1 and 2 be formed to be transparent so that the colors and states of the topcoat, enamel and remover contained in the space can be checked from outside.

[53] The lower portions of the first and second containers 1 and 2 can be formed so that the end portions thereof are round or flat, as shown in Figs. 1 to 7.

At this time, the first brush 34 is fixed to be inserted into the end portion of the brush rod 33 which is integrally formed in the inner center of the first cap 31 to extend to a predetermined length. Further, the first brush 34 has a typical circular cross section.

[57] It is preferable that the brush rod 33 be formed to have such a length that the end of the first brush 34 reaches the bottom surface of the space of the first container 1 when the first brush 34 is inserted into the first container 1.

[58] Fig. 2a is a cross-sectional view of a dual type manicure container according to a second embodiment of the invention, and Fig. 2b is an exploded perspective view of Fig. 2a. Fig. 2a shows a state where one side of the cap section 3 is coupled to the first container 1 into which the first brush 34 is inserted and the other side is coupled to the second container 2 into which a flocked tip 38 as an embodiment of the second brush is inserted.

[59] The dual type manicure container according to the second embodiment of the invention contains topcoat or enamel for make-up in one side thereof and enamel having a different color for make-up in the other side. In other words, topcoat or enamel having a specific color is contained in the first container 1, and the first brush 34 formed in one side of the cap section 3 is inserted into the space of the first container 1. Further, enamel having a different color from the enamel of the first container 1 is contained in the second container 2, and the flocked tip 38 formed in the other side of the cap section 3 is inserted into the space of the second container 2.

[60] As described in Fig. 2a, the dual type manicure container according to the second embodiment of the invention is composed of the first container 1, the second container 2, and the cap section 3 having the first brush 34 and flocked tip 38 formed in both sides thereof.

[61] The first container 1 has a space formed therein so as to contain liquid topcoat or liquid enamel having a specific color.

[64] The cap section 3 is composed of a first cap 31 which is screw-coupled to the opening section 10 of the first container 1 and has the first brush 34 formed therein, a second cap 35 which is screw-coupled to the opening section 20 of the second container 2 and has the flocked tip 38 formed therein, and a cover 30 which is put closely on the outer circumferences of the first and second caps 31 and 35 to incorporate both caps 31 and 35.

[65] Inside the first cap 31, the first brush 34 is formed to be inserted into the first container 1 so as to smear topcoat or enamel having a specific color which is contained in the space. At this time, the first brush 34 is fixed to be inserted into the end portion of the brush rod 33 which is integrally formed in the inner center of the first cap 31 to extend to a predetermined length.

[66] In addition, inside the second cap 35, the flocked tip 38 is formed to be inserted into the second container 2 so as to smear enamel having a different color which is contained in the space. At this time, the flocked tip 38 is fixed to be inserted into the end portion of the brush rod 37 which is integrally formed in the inner center of the second cap 35 to extend to a predetermined length.

[67] Here, the brush rods 33 and 37 which are integrally formed inside the first and second caps 31 and 35 are formed in a bar shape having a circular cross-section so as to be attached into holes of the wipers 11 and 21. The brush rods 33 and 37 are

integrally formed with the first and second caps 31 and 35, and the upper ends of the brush rods 33 and 37 are joined on the inner surfaces of the first and second caps 31 and 35 by an adhesive. The above-described method of forming the brush rods 33 and 37 is identically applied to third to tenth embodiments of the invention.

[68] It is preferable that the brush rods 33 and 37 be formed to have such a length that the ends of the first brush 34 and flocked tip 38 reach the bottom surface of the space of the first and second containers 1 and 2 when the first brush 34 and flocked tip 38 are respectively inserted into the first and second containers 1 and 2. The lengths of the brush rods 33 and 37 are identically applied to the third to tenth embodiments of the invention.

[69] With reference to Fig. 2b, a sequence of assembling the dual type manicure container according to the second embodiment of the invention will be described as follows.

[70] In the first step, the wiper 11 is inserted into the opening section 10 of the first container 1 in which topcoat or enamel having a specific color is contained. Then, the flange formed in the upper portion of the wiper 11 is received on the upper surface of the opening section 10 of the first container 1 and, at the same time, the outer circumference of the wiper 11 is attached to the inner circumference of the opening section 10, so that the wiper 11 is reliably fixed.

[71] In the second step, the wiper 21 is inserted into the opening section 20 of the second container 2 in which liquid enamel having a different color from the enamel of the first container 1 is contained. Then, the wiper 21 is coupled to the opening section 20 of the second container 2 as in the case of the first container 1.

[72] As shown in Fig. 2b, flanges formed in the upper end portions of the wipers 11 and

21 are put into the opening sections 10 and 20 of the first and second containers 1 and 2 to be received on the upper surface thereof. The middle portions of the wipers 11 and 21 are formed to have the same or slightly larger diameter than the inner diameter of the opening sections 10 and 20 so as to be inserted to be attached to the inner surface of the opening sections 10 and 20. In the centers of the wipers 11 and 21, holes are formed to have a slightly larger diameter than the outer diameters of the brush rods 33 and 37 so that the first and second brushes and the brush rods 33 and 37 can be smoothly inserted and pulled out. In addition, in order to wipe off topcoat or enamel smeared on the brush rods 33 and 37 and the first and second brushes, the lower end portions of the wipers 11 and 21 are formed in a cone shape inclined inward at a predetermined angle and the ends thereof are formed to be sharp so that holes are formed to have smaller diameters than the holes formed in the centers of the middle portions.

[73] Besides, it is preferable that the wipers 11 and 21 be formed to have the same length as the opening sections 10 and 20 of the first and second containers 1 and 2 to wipe off

topcoat or enamel smeared on the brush rods 33 and 37 and the first and second brushes immediately before the first and second brushes are pulled out.

[74] The structure of wipers 11 and 21 and the assembling method thereof are identically applied to the third to tenth embodiments of the invention.

[75] In the third step, the first cap 31 having the first brush 34 formed therein and the second cap 35 having the flocked tip 38 formed therein are inserted into the cover 30 to form the cap section 3. At this time, the first and second caps must be inserted so that the first brush 34 and flocked tip 38 face outward, respectively.

[76] One end portion of the cover 30 is bent inward so as to prevent a first-inserted cap from being separated when the first and second caps 31 and 35 are inserted inside. It is preferable that the cover 30 be formed to have an inner diameter the same as or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the first and second caps 31 and 35 so that the first and second caps 31 and 35 are attached to the inner circumference of the cover 30. In addition, it is preferable that the cover 30 be formed of a material which can stretch slightly without being cracked when the first and second caps 31 and 35 are forced to be put inside. For example, the cover 30 may be formed of synthetic resin or aluminum.

[77] In addition, the upper portions 32 and 36 of the first and second caps 31 and 35 are formed to have a smaller diameter than the middle portions so that the first and second caps 31 and 35 are easily inserted into the cover 30. For this, it is preferable that the upper portions 32 and 36 of the first and second caps 31 and 35 are molded or processed to be tapered.

[78] After the first container 1, the second container 2, and the cap section 3 are partially assembled through the first to third steps, the first container 1 is coupled to the first cap 31 of the cap section 3, and the second container 2 is coupled to the second cap 35 of the cap section 3. Then, the first brush 34 and flocked tip 38 which are integrally formed with the cap section 3 are inserted into the first and second containers 1 and 2, respectively.

[92] Inside the second cap 35, the rectangular cross-section brush 40 is formed so as to be inserted into the second container 2 to smear enamel having a different color which is contained in the space. As shown in Fig. 4b, the rectangular cross-section brush 40 having a rectangular cross-section is fixed to be inserted into the end portion of the brush rod 37 which is integrally formed in the inner center of the second cap 35 to extend to a predetermined length.

[93] Here, in order that the brush inserted into the brush rod 37 of the second cap 35 is formed to have a rectangular cross-section, the end portion of the brush rod 37 into which the brush is inserted is transformed into a rectangular shape, so that the brush is formed to have a rectangular cross-section.

[94] Fig. 5a is a cross-sectional view of a dual type manicure container according to a fifth embodiment of the invention, and Fig. 5b is a partial perspective view of a second brush of Fig. 5a. Fig. 5a shows a state where one side of the cap section 3 is coupled to the first container 1, into which the first brush 34 is inserted, and the other side thereof is coupled to the second container 2, into which an arc-shaped cross-section brush 41 as an embodiment of the second brush is inserted.

[95] The dual type manicure container according to the fifth embodiment of the invention contains topcoat or enamel for make-up in one side and enamel having a

different color for make-up in the other side. In other words, topcoat or enamel having a specific color is contained in the first container 1, and the first brush 34 formed in one side of the cap section 3 is inserted into the space of the first container 1. Further, enamel having a different color from the enamel of the first container 1 is contained in the second container 2, and the arc-shaped cross-section brush 41 formed in the other side of the cap section 3 is inserted into the space of the second container 2.

[96] As shown in Fig. 5a, the dual type manicure container according to the fifth embodiment of the invention is composed of the first container 1, the second container 2, and the cap section 3 in which the first brush 34 and arc-shaped cross-section brush 41 are respectively formed in both sides.

[97] The cap section 3 is composed of the first cap 31 which is screw-coupled to the opening section 10 of the first container 1 and has the first brush 34 formed therein, the second cap 35 which is screw-coupled to the opening section 20 of the second container 2 and has the arc-shaped cross-section brush 41 formed therein, and the cover 30 which is put closely on the outer circumferences of the first and second cap 31 and 35 so as to incorporate the caps 31 and 35 of both sides.

[98] Inside the second cap 35, the arc-shaped cross-section brush 41 is formed so as to be inserted into the second container 2 to smear enamel having a different color which is contained in the space. As shown in Fig. 5b, the arc-shaped cross-section brush 41 having an arc-shaped cross-section is fixed to be inserted into the end portion of the brush rod 37 which is integrally formed in the inner center of the second cap 35 to extend to a predetermined length.
