The mounting cap 35 has a top wall portion 35a in which an insertion hole (not shown) for inserting the pressing head 31 is formed. The mounting cap 35 is formed in a two-stage cylindrical shape having a small diameter cylinder 35b on the upper side and a large diameter cylinder 35c on the lower side. It has a crested cylindrical shape. The large-diameter cylinder 35 c is formed with a female screw portion that is screwed into the male screw portion 21 a of the mouth portion 21 of the container body 2.

  The pressing head 31 is attached to the upper end portion of the stem. The pressing head 31 includes a discharge cylinder 36 that protrudes outward in the radial direction. The inside of the discharge cylinder 36 communicates with the stem. By pressing the pressing head 31 and the stem together, the contents are supplied from the stem into the discharge cylinder 36 and discharged.

  The overcap 4 is formed in a top tube shape, and a fitting tube 41 that fits outside the small diameter tube 35b of the mounting cap 35 extends downward from the outer peripheral edge of the top wall portion.

The container main body 2 surrounds the content storage portion 20 filled with the content, the content storage portion 20 from the outside in the radial direction, and the lower end edge 26a from the bottom portion 22 (the recessed portion 23) of the container main body 2. A double cylinder is formed by the outer cylinder 26 positioned below. In the illustrated example, the outer cylinder 26 has a cylindrical shape with a lower end opening formed integrally with the content container 20.
A recess 23 is formed on the inner surface of the bottom portion 22 so that the lower end portion of the suction pipe 32 is accommodated in a state where a gap is provided between the lower end portion and the outer peripheral surface 32b. That is, a gap S is provided between the outer peripheral surface 32 b at the lower end portion of the suction pipe 32 and the inner peripheral surface 23 c of the hollow portion 23.
