Claims4
A cosmetic brush comprises;
- a cylindrical cap;
- a upright-standing stem, which is securely fixed on the inner center of the cylindrical cap and has a tuft of bristles fixed on a lower end thereof;
- and
- a cosmetic container including a screw thread portion formed on the upper portion thereof, an inner cap mounted at the inner circumference of the screw thread portion and a cylindrical body formed at a lower portion thereof to have a width larger than that of the inner cap, the inner cap having an inlet/outlet hole with a narrow width formed on a top end thereof,
- wherein the stem is inserted into a supporting tube vertically mounted to the inner center of the cap and elastically supported by means of a spring mounted on the upper portion of the cap,
- wherein the stem has a latching protrusion outwardly protrusively formed on the outer peripheral surface of the upper portion thereof, the latching protrusion being outwardly projected through a guide slit formed longitudinally on the upper portion of the supporting tube, and
- wherein when the supporting tube is inserted into the container through the inlet/outlet hole by means of the screw-engagement between the cap and the inner cap with each other, the latching protrusion is latched by the inner cap, to thereby allow the stem and the tuft of bristle to be raised so as to be received inside of the supporting tube.
