However, in the above-described conventional container with an applicator, it is necessary to relatively rotate the container body and the covering around the container axis in order to take out the contents, so that the content discharge operation is complicated.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a container with an applicator that facilitates a discharge operation of a fixed amount of contents.

  The present invention employs the following means in order to solve the above problems. That is, a container with an applicator according to the present invention includes a container main body that contains contents, a covering that covers the mouth of the container main body and has discharge holes for contents, and a lid that opens and closes the discharge holes. And an applicator disposed between the cover and the lid, wherein the applicator is provided with a measuring space that opens toward the discharge hole. .

  In this invention, when the container with the applicator is tilted or turned upside down, the content is discharged into the measuring space by the volume of the description space through the discharge hole and measured. In this way, since a certain amount of contents can be discharged simply by tilting the container with the applicator, the discharge operation is facilitated. After discharging the contents into the measuring space, return the container with the applicator to an upright posture, move the contents in the measuring space onto the covering, and use the applicator to remove the contents on the covering. An appropriate amount may be applied to the surface to be coated.

In the container with an applicator according to the present invention, the applicator may be formed to be elastically deformable, and may be elastically deformed by the lid to close the discharge hole so as to be openable.
In the present invention, since the applicator closes the discharge hole when the lid is attached, the contents can be prevented from leaking from the discharge hole, for example, during conveyance. Moreover, since the applicator is restored and deformed by removing the lid, a measuring space for measuring the contents can be easily secured.

The container with an applicator of the present invention includes an outer shell body that accommodates the container main body and the covering body on the inner side, the container main body is formed so as to be compressible and deformable, and the covering body includes the outer covering body. It may be arranged in the shell so as to be movable in the container axial direction.
In this invention, by pushing the covering body into the outer shell body, the container body is compressed and deformed to increase the internal pressure of the container body, and the contents are discharged together with the air in the container body into the measurement space through the discharge holes. Thereby, even when the content in the container main body becomes a small amount, the content can be efficiently discharged into the measurement space to measure the content.

Moreover, in the container with an applicator of the present invention, the covering body may be provided with a discharge cylinder portion protruding into the measurement space.
In this invention, when the container with the applicator is returned to the upright posture after discharging the contents into the weighing space, the contents on the covering are moved when the contents in the weighing space are moved onto the covering. Since it becomes difficult to return to the inside of the container body, the contents can be weighed more accurately.

  According to the container with an applicator according to the present invention, the contents can be discharged into the measuring space simply by tilting the container with the applicator, so that the contents can be easily discharged.
