## Abstract

The present invention relates to a cosmetic vessel including a discharge unit discharging cosmetics to an outside, and a discharge plate provided at one side of the discharge unit from which the cosmetics are discharged, including at least one discharge hole, and formed of a metal of SUS 300 series.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A cosmetic vessel, comprising:
an airless pump discharging cosmetics to an outside;
a discharge plate provided at one side of the airless pump from which the cosmetics are discharged, including a plurality of discharge holes, formed of a metal, contacted with a user's puff and exposed to the outside;
a guide member provided between the airless pump and the discharge plate, and guiding the cosmetics from an outlet of the single airless pump to the plurality of discharge holes; and
a rim portion fixing the guide member and the discharge plate,
wherein the rim portion includes an inner rim portion surrounding an edge of the discharge plate and the guide member, and an outer rim portion surrounding an outside of the inner rim portion.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The cosmetic vessel of claim 1, wherein the cosmetics discharge from the airless pump by pressurizing the discharge plate.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The cosmetic vessel of claim 1, wherein the guide member includes a plurality of discharge paths which communicate with the discharge holes and are radially formed on the basis of the outlet of the airless pump.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The cosmetic vessel of claim 3, wherein a single discharge path communicates with the plurality of discharge holes respectively.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The cosmetic vessel of claim 4, wherein the discharge holes communicating with the single discharge path increase in diameter as the discharge holes are away from the outlet of the airless pump.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The cosmetic vessel of claim 1, wherein the discharge holes are formed on the discharge plate by etching.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The cosmetic vessel of claim 1, wherein the discharge holes have a diameter ranging from 0.1 mm to 1 mm.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The cosmetic vessel of claim 1, wherein the guide member includes a sealing member arranged around the discharge paths and closely contacts the discharge plate to prevent the cosmetics from being leaked to the outside.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The cosmetic vessel of claim 1, wherein the rim portion moves downwards while fixing the guide member and the discharge plate.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The cosmetic vessel of claim 1, wherein the rim portion surrounds the edge of the discharge plate to fix the guide member and the discharge plate.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The cosmetic vessel of claim 1, wherein the inner rim portion moves downwards integrally with the discharge plate and the guide member.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The cosmetic vessel of claim 1, wherein the outer rim portion surrounds the outside of the inner rim portion to restrict a rotation of the inner rim portion and allow elevating or lowering of the inner rim portion.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The cosmetic vessel of claim 1, further comprising a vessel body receiving cosmetics therein,
wherein the outer rim portion is coupled with the vessel body.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The cosmetic vessel of claim 1, wherein a tooth is formed on an outer surface of the inner rim portion or an inner surface of the outer rim portion to restrict a rotation of the inner rim portion and allow elevating or lowering of the inner rim portion.

### Claim 15 (depends on 1)

The cosmetic vessel of claim 1, wherein the discharge holes are formed in radial symmetry, and
wherein the guide member includes discharge paths formed in the radial symmetry on the basis of the outlet of the airless pump, so that the cosmetics discharged from the airless pump flow towards the discharge holes.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The cosmetic vessel of claim 15, wherein the discharge plate or the guide member includes a coupling hole or a protrusion to determine an angle at which the discharge plate is mounted on the guide member so that the discharge holes correspond to and communicate with the radially formed discharge paths.

### Claim 17 (depends on 1)

The cosmetic vessel of claim 1, wherein the discharge holes increase in diameter as the discharge holes are away from the outlet of the airless pump, and
wherein all of the discharge holes do not coincide with the outlet of the airless pump.
