Usually, a scale is provided on the peripheral wall 25.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described. In order to dispense the liquid such as the detergent in the container A, the measuring cup D may be unscrewed from the cap fitting tube 10 and then the container A may be tilted forward. It flows out to the measuring cup D through the trough-shaped pouring section 20. When the measuring cup is erected after pouring the liquid in the measuring cup D into another container or the like, a small amount of liquid may flow down from the upper end of the measuring cup D along the outer surface of the peripheral wall 25, but this is caused by the fitting. Since the liquid is stored in the liquid reservoir 30 formed between the inner surface of the cylinder 29 and the outer surface of the measuring cup peripheral wall 25, it does not flow down from the measuring cup D and adhere to the floor or the like.

The liquid in the refill container (not shown) is
In order to refill the inside, first, the pouring member C is removed from the mounting tube B, but for this purpose, it is only necessary to put a finger on the left and right finger pad 22 and sandwich the hanging tube portion 17, and then the hanging tube portion 1
The upper portion 7 is elastically deformed inward in the front-rear direction, and the fitting groove 21 is detached inward from the third ridge 10a and the fitting ridge 21a is detached inward from the inner peripheral portion of the inward flange-like top wall 9 respectively. But
Only the fitting grooves 21 and the fitting ridges 21a at the front and rear portions of the hanging cylinder portion 17 are detached, and those at the left and right portions still maintain the engaged state.

However, even when the left and right portions of the hanging cylinder 17 are engaged, the pouring member C can be removed from the mounting cylinder B by lifting the hanging cylinder 17. When the hanging cylinder 17 is lifted, the cap fitting cylinder 10 has the short split groove 12 and the long split groove 13 formed therein. This is because the third ridge 10a is deformed and detached outward from the fitting groove 21. After the dispensing member C is removed in this way, the refill is performed with the spout of the refill container (not shown) facing the mouth and neck 2 of the container body.

After the refilling, in order to mount the pouring member C to the mounting tube B, it is sufficient that the lower portion of the hanging tube portion 17 is inserted into the container A so as to be inserted.

When the measuring cup D is screwed into the cap fitting cylinder 10, the liquid stored in the liquid reservoir 30 falls into the suspension cylinder 17 and flows into the container A from the liquid hole 19.

[0019]

According to the first, second and third aspects of the present invention, in the liquid dispensing container, the hanging cylinder engaged with the mounting cylinder is detached from the mounting cylinder by elastic deformation caused by the holding of the hanging cylinder. Since it is formed as possible, at the time of refilling, the spouting member can be detached from the mounting cylinder in a one-touch manner, so that the spout of the refill container can be brought close to the mouth and neck of the container body. In addition, since the finger pad is fitted into the concave portion of the cap fitting tube, elastic deformation of the cap fitting tube due to the formation of the concave portion is prevented, so that the measuring cup is screwed together during distribution and transportation. Is not loose.

In the liquid dispensing container according to the second aspect of the present invention, since the non-rotating ridge provided on the suspension cylinder is engaged with the long slot, the dispensing member is rotated when the measuring cup is rotated. There is no co-rotation. In addition, since the anti-rotation ridge is engaged with the long groove, the screwing of the measuring cup is further strengthened in combination with fitting the finger pad into the recess.
