## Abstract

According to the present invention, a mixing container for different contents, when not being used, prevents a content stored in a storage compartment from being mixed with a content stored in a receiver member. When the mixing container is used, a button part is simply manipulated to open a lower portion of the receiver member, thereby mixing the two contents. Thus, the mixing container can mix different contents in a simple structure.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A mixing container for different contents, comprising:
a housing that includes a storing compartment storing first contents and a piston installed within the storing compartment;
a guide bracket engaged to the top of the housing, the guide bracket including an engaging shoulder protruding toward an inside of the storing compartment and a guide piece disposed on the engaging shoulder and extending upward;
a button part operating as it engages with the guide piece and including a pumping member for discharging contents through a discharge port;
a sealing ring installed between the guide bracket and the button part to selectively part the guide bracket and the button part; and
a storing container,
wherein the storing container comprises:
a receiver member that is installed at the button part and contains second contents different from the first contents stored in the storing compartment, a lower side of the receiver member being supported by the engaging shoulder; and
a sealing member that selectively seals the lower side of the receiver member and is engaged to a lower side of the pumping member; and
a communication hole allowing the pumping member and the storing compartment to communicate during the pumping of the pumping member,
wherein, the sealing member is in a fixed position without moving after the sealing ring is parted.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The container of claim 1, wherein the button part comprises:
a guide groove that is engaged with the guide piece and has an opened lower side to move up and down; and
an insertion groove having a lower side that is open,
wherein the receiver member is inserted in the insertion groove.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The container of claim 1, wherein the first contents stored in the storing compartment is liquid, and the second contents stored in the receiver member is one among a liquid, a powder and a solid.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The container of claim 1, wherein, when in use, the sealing ring is parted and the sealing member moves downward so that the guide bracket engages with the button part.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The container of claim 1, wherein, when the button part moves downward, the sealing member moves downward so that the lower side of the receiver member is open and the second contents mix with the first contents.
