Description of the Related Art There has been known a liquid discharging container including a cap serving as a measuring cylinder, which is formed by screwing an outer cylinder vertically provided from the outer periphery of the outward flange to the outer surface of the neck of the container body.

[0003]

The above-mentioned liquid dispensing container comprises:
The liquid in the container is transferred from the gutter-shaped discharging portion of the pouring member into the cap also serving as the measuring cylinder, and is weighed. The liquid to be measured is moved while being kept in the cap, and the container for transfer or the washing machine is moved. The container is moved to a water tank or the like. When the container is tilted, the pouring member is secured to the container body neck so that the water pressure of the liquid flowing out of the container does not cause the container body neck to come off. It is fitted to.

Recently, after the liquid in the container has been exhausted, the liquid is frequently replenished and the container is continuously used. When the liquid is replenished to the container, a gutter-like shape of the pouring member is formed. Since the upper part of the spouting portion is raised above the upper end surface of the mouth and neck of the container body, there is a drawback that the liquid injection from the refill container body filled with the replenishing liquid into the container body is troublesome. In order to remove the defect, it is conceivable to make the spout member detachable with respect to the mouth and neck of the container body. It is necessary that the hanging member of the spouting member be in contact with the inner surface of the mouth and neck of the container in a water-tight manner to prevent liquid leakage. If the pouring member requiring such a function is further provided with a function detachable from the mouth and neck of the container body, the structure becomes complicated and the above-mentioned functions tend to be incomplete.

According to the present invention, an expansion plate is provided on one of the side edges of the rear opening portion of the gutter-shaped spouting portion via a hinge so as to be able to undulate freely, and when replenishing the liquid, the expansion plate is opposed to the elasticity of the gutter-shaped spouting portion. By opening the open portion by tilting the spread plate horizontally and laying the spread plate laterally between both side edges of the expanded open portion, the liquid spout on the upper surface of the gutter-like spout is enlarged to increase the size of the liquid spout. The liquid can be replenished from the spout into the container, thereby eliminating the inconvenience of attaching and detaching the pouring member.
