Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 to 3 show the external configuration of a chemical liquid supply device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Note that the chemical liquid supply device 1 of the present embodiment is exemplified by a type installed in a dish-shaped hand-washing unit provided at the upper part of a water storage tank in a flush toilet.

The chemical liquid supply device 1 includes, for example, a chemical liquid for aroma/deodorization of a toilet space and cleaning of a toilet, a chemical liquid container 2 for containing the chemical liquid, a support 3 to which the chemical liquid container 2 is detachably attached, and a chemical liquid container. 2 is provided with a decoration 7 which is housed together with the liquid medicine. The chemical liquid supply device 1 is installed in the hand washing part so that the guide member 5 and the long leg 32 protruding from the bottom surface part 30 of the support body 3 are inserted into the drain port of the hand washing part. Hereinafter, each member of the chemical liquid supply device 1 will be described.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the liquid medicine container 2 includes a body portion 20 that can store the liquid medicine, and a cylindrical mouth portion 21 that is integrally formed continuously with the body portion 20. In addition, since the liquid medicine container 2 is attached to the support 3 in an upside down state with the mouth portion 21 facing downward during use, in the following description, the mouth portion 21 side of the liquid medicine container 2 will be referred to as “lower side” and the body portion will be described. The 20 side is "upper side".

The inside of the chemical liquid container 2 can be viewed from the outside, and the inside can be viewed by making the whole transparent or translucent, for example. The inside may be made visible by making at least a part of the liquid medicine container 2 transparent or translucent. The body portion 20 and the mouth portion 21 of the chemical liquid container 2 can be formed of, for example, glass or synthetic resin.

The bottom of the body 20 has a discharge port 22 communicating with the mouth 21 for discharging the liquid medicine in the body 20. A cap 23 is detachably attached to the mouth portion 21. The cap 23 can be formed of, for example, a soft synthetic resin. The cap 23 includes a closing portion 24 at a portion that closes the mouth portion 21 via a thin portion 25.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, on the inner surface of the body portion 20, a wall body 10 is provided outside the discharge port 22 so as to project above the discharge port 22. The wall body 10 is arranged around (immediately around) the periphery of the ejection port 22 or at a position close to the periphery along at least a part of the periphery of the ejection port 22.

In the present embodiment, the wall body 10 is configured by a peripheral wall 26 that is arranged along the entire periphery of the ejection port 22 and surrounds the ejection port 22. This wall body 10 is mounted on the wall body 10 or leans against the wall body 10 when the ornament 7 contained in the medicine liquid container 2 is present at the bottom (lower part) of the medicine liquid container 2, and thereby the discharge port is formed. It serves to prevent the discharge port 22 from being covered by being covered with 22.

At least one notch 27 is formed in the peripheral wall 26 forming the wall body 10. The notch 27 functions as a communication portion that allows the liquid medicine to communicate with the inside and outside of the peripheral wall 26. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, when the ornament 7 rides on the peripheral wall 26, for example, the chemical liquid outside the peripheral wall 26 is circulated to the inside of the peripheral wall 26 and guided to the ejection port 22. Thereby, the liquid medicine in the liquid medicine container 2 can be smoothly discharged from the discharge port 22.

In the present embodiment, the notches 27 extend from the upper end to the lower end of the peripheral wall 26, and four notches 27 are formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the peripheral wall 26. The notch 27 does not necessarily need to extend from the upper end to the lower end of the peripheral wall 26, and may extend from the upper end and/or the lower end by a predetermined length, but at least a part thereof is located at the lower end of the peripheral wall 26. It is preferable that the chemical liquid can surely flow from the notch 27 to the discharge port 22. Moreover, at least one notch 27 may be provided in the circumferential direction of the peripheral wall 26. Further, instead of the notch 27, one or more through holes (not shown) may be formed as a communicating portion between the upper end and the lower end of the peripheral wall 26. In order for the notches 27 and the through holes (not shown) to function well as the communicating portions, it is preferable that a plurality of them be provided at intervals in the circumferential direction of the discharge port 22.

In the present embodiment, the peripheral wall 26 has a circular shape according to the contour of the peripheral edge of the discharge port 22, but may have a polygonal shape such as a rectangular shape.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the wall body 10 is composed of the peripheral wall 26 arranged along the entire peripheral edge of the discharge port 22, but a plurality of wall walls 10 are arranged along only a part of the peripheral edge of the discharge port 22. The partition 10 (not shown) may constitute the wall body 10. Even in this case, it is possible to prevent the decoration 7 from covering the ejection port 22 by riding the decoration 7 on the partition or leaning against the partition. In addition, the vacant portion on the periphery of the discharge port 22 where the partition wall is not arranged functions as a communication portion that allows the chemical liquid to flow to the discharge port 22. Notches or through holes may be provided in the partition wall. The partition wall may have a curved shape according to the contour of the peripheral edge of the ejection port 22 or may have a straightly extending shape.

The chemical liquid container 2 is used in an inverted state with the cap 23 (the discharge port 22 of the body portion 20) side facing downward, with the cap 23 attached to the mouth portion 21. In use, the cylindrical connecting member 44 of the support 3 described later is inserted into the mouth 21 of the liquid medicine container 2 so as to pierce the closed portion 24 of the cap 23, so that the liquid medicine container 2 and the support 3 are separated from each other. Are connected. As a result, the chemical liquid in the chemical liquid container 2 is discharged from the discharge port 22 through the mouth portion 21 to the support body 3 via the connection member 44. The connection member 44 of the support body 3 is fitted into the mouth portion 21 of the chemical liquid container 2, so that the connection member 44 is difficult to come out of the mouth portion 21.

On the peripheral surface of the chemical liquid container 2, one or a plurality of streak-shaped bent portions 8 are formed in a front view and/or a rear view. The streak-shaped bent portion 8 is formed so that the peripheral surface of the body portion 20 is convex so as to project outward in a V shape, or the peripheral surface of the body portion 20 is formed so as to be concave so as to be depressed inward in a V shape, The peripheral surface of the body portion 20 has an angular shape in the striped bent portion 8. In the present embodiment, the striped bent portion 8 is formed in a convex shape.

The striped bent portion 8 may extend in any of vertical, horizontal, or diagonal directions. The linear bent portion 8 may extend linearly or may extend curvedly. The streak-shaped bent portion 8 may be formed only on either the front side or the back side of the peripheral surface of the body 20, but is formed on either the front side or the back side of the peripheral surface of the body 20. It is more preferable that the front side and the back side of the peripheral surface of the body portion 20 be connected to each other in the circumferential direction so as to connect to each other. In the present embodiment, a plurality of (three) streak-shaped bent portions 8 are formed in the circumferential direction of the circumferential surface of the body portion 20 so that the vertical positions are different from each other.

The position where the streak-shaped bent portion 8 is formed on the peripheral surface of the chemical liquid container 2 is not particularly limited, but at least a part of the streak-shaped bent portion 8 is formed in the central region in the height direction of the chemical liquid container 2. Preferably. The central region in the height direction of the liquid medicine container 2 refers to a region of H/3 to 2H/3 from the lower end of the body 20 with the height H of the body 20 of the liquid medicine container 2 as a reference.

Since the streak-shaped bent portion 8 is formed on the peripheral surface of the chemical liquid container 2, as shown in FIG. The interior decoration 7 looks blurry, looks large, or looks refracted. On the other hand, if the curved bending portion 8 is not formed on the peripheral surface of the liquid medicine container 2, the ornament 7 inside the liquid medicine container 2 can be clearly seen as shown in FIG. In this way, by forming the streak-shaped bent portion 8 on the peripheral surface of the chemical liquid container 2, the ornament 7 in the chemical liquid container 2 is not clearly visible, so that it is possible to express an abstract design, Depending on the form of the ornament 7, the ornament effect of the ornament 7 can be increased.

Since the streak-shaped bent portion 8 is formed over the circumference of the peripheral surface of the liquid medicine container 2 once, the ornament 7 inside the liquid medicine container 2 can be seen from any position around the liquid medicine container 2. Can be expressed by the abstract design described above. Further, since the chemical liquid supply device 1 of the present embodiment is generally installed at the height of the line of sight, the chemical liquid supply device 1 is often seen straight, but the chemical liquid supply device 1 has a stripe shape in the central region in the height direction. Since the bent portion 8 is formed, the ornament 7 in the liquid medicine container 2 can be effectively represented by the abstract design described above.

One or more three-dimensional patterns 9 are formed on the peripheral surface of the chemical liquid container 2 in a front view and/or a rear view. The three-dimensional pattern 9 is formed by protruding a part of the peripheral surface of the body portion 20 to the outside and/or by indenting a part of the peripheral surface of the body portion 20 to the inside. It is composed of a concave portion. In the present embodiment, the three-dimensional pattern 9 having a desired design as a whole is formed by combining a plurality of convex portions and concave portions, but the three-dimensional pattern 9 has a desired design by each convex portion and each concave portion. May be formed.

The three-dimensional pattern 9 may be formed only on either the front side or the back side of the peripheral surface of the body 20, but is formed on either the front side or the back side of the peripheral surface of the body 20. Is preferred. Further, the position where the three-dimensional pattern 9 is formed on the peripheral surface of the liquid medicine container 2 is not particularly limited, but it is arranged at the center in the left-right direction on the front side or the back side of the peripheral surface of the body portion 20. It is preferable.

Since the three-dimensional pattern 9 is formed on the peripheral surface of the drug solution container 2, the light of the three-dimensional pattern 9 of the drug solution container 2 is formed in the same manner as the part where the streak-shaped bent portion 8 is formed. Since the decoration 7 in the liquid medicine container 2 cannot be seen clearly due to the refraction, it is possible to express an abstract design. Therefore, the decorative effect of the ornament 7 can be increased depending on the form of the ornament 7.

Next, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 and FIG. 10 to FIG. 13, the support 3 is formed in a cup shape having an open upper portion, and supports the connected chemical liquid container 2 from below. The support body 3 includes a bottom surface portion 30 and a side surface portion 31, a cover member 4, and a guide member 5. In the plan view, the support 3 has a length in the first direction (the left-right direction in FIG. 1) that is orthogonal to the length in the second direction (the left-right direction in FIG. 2) in plan view, as in the plan view. It has a long oblong shape. In the present embodiment, the support 3 is formed in a substantially elliptical shape in plan view. When the shape of the hand washing part is horizontally long, the chemical liquid supply device 1 is installed so that the first direction (the lateral direction of the support body 3 and the chemical liquid container 2) matches the left and right direction of the hand washing part. The support 3 can be formed of a synthetic resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyethylene terephthalate, and has flexibility.

The bottom surface portion 30 is provided with a plurality of (two in the illustrated example) long legs 32 protruding downward. A plurality of short legs 33 (for example, four) shorter than the long legs 32 are provided around the long legs 32 so as to project downward from the side surface portion 31. The plurality of short legs 33 allow the support 3 to be placed substantially horizontally on the hand washing part with the long legs 32 inserted in the drain of the hand washing part.

Further, the bottom surface portion 30 is provided with a substantially rectangular frame-shaped peripheral wall 34 protruding upward. The inner wall 41 of the cover member 4, which will be described later, is fitted into the peripheral wall 34. A notch 35 is formed in the upper end of the peripheral wall 34 by notching in a concave shape at a position facing each other. A through hole 36 is formed at a central position of a region surrounded by the peripheral wall 34 of the bottom surface portion 30.

At a position outside the peripheral wall 34 of the bottom surface portion 30, when water supplied to the hand washing portion enters the inside of the support body 3, an opening 37A for discharging the water to the outside is formed. Further, the side surface portion 31 is formed with an opening 37B for diffusing the aroma component of the chemical liquid to the outside.

As shown in FIGS. 14 to 17, the cover member 4 is located on the upper surface 40 having a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view, the substantially rectangular frame-shaped inner wall 41 that hangs down from the upper surface 40, and outside the inner wall 41. The outer wall 42 is provided so as to hang down from the peripheral edge of the upper surface portion 40. By fitting the inner wall 41 inside the peripheral wall 34, as shown in FIG. 10, the cover member 4 is installed on the bottom surface portion 30, and the buffer chamber 6 is formed between the bottom surface portion 30 and the cover member 4. To be done. The buffer chamber 6 is a space capable of storing a chemical solution.

The outer wall 42 is separated from the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 34 when the cover member 4 is installed on the bottom surface portion 30, and a pair of engagement protrusions 43 protruding outward from the lower end of the outer wall 42 are provided on the bottom surface portion 30. The cover member 4 is fixed to the bottom surface portion 30 by engaging with the pair of engaging claws 38 provided on the one-to-one basis.

The inner wall 41 is formed with a pair of notches 47 extending vertically from the upper end to the lower end. The pair of notches 47 are arranged so as to correspond to the pair of notches 35 of the peripheral wall 34 of the support 3 in a one-to-one correspondence. When the cover member 4 is installed on the bottom surface portion 30, the notch 35 and the notch 47 are aligned with each other, so that an air circulation hole for circulating air is formed in the buffer chamber 6.

The upper surface portion 40 is composed of a lower step portion 40a having a circular shape in plan view at the center thereof and an upper step portion 40b around the lower step portion 40a located at a position higher than the lower step portion 40a. A cylindrical connecting member 44 to be inserted into the mouth portion 21 of the drug solution container 2 is provided at a central position of the lower step portion 40a.

The connecting member 44 is provided on the lower step portion 40a of the upper surface portion 40 so as to protrude above the upper step portion 40b. The upper end of the connecting member 44 is obliquely cut off and sharpened so that the thin portion of the cap 22 can be easily pierced when the connecting member 44 is inserted into the mouth portion 21 of the liquid medicine container 2.

A discharge member 45 protruding downward is provided on the lower step portion 40a of the upper surface portion 40. The discharge member 45 has a cylindrical shape with a diameter smaller than that of the connection member 44, and is arranged concentrically with the connection member 44. The connection member 44 and the discharge member 45 communicate with each other, and the insides of the connection member 44 and the discharge member 45 form a chemical liquid passage that allows the chemical liquid to pass from the chemical liquid container 2 to a guide member 5 described later. The inside of the discharging member 45 is partitioned from the buffer chamber 6, and the discharging member 45 can be fitted into the through hole 36 located at the center of the bottom surface portion 30.

A plurality of small-diameter liquid passage holes 46 (three in the illustrated example) are formed inside the connection member 44 of the lower step portion 40a and outside the discharge member 45. The liquid passage hole 46 introduces a part of the chemical liquid discharged from the chemical liquid container 2 via the connection member 44 into the buffer chamber 6.

The buffer chamber 6 adjusts the amount of the drug solution discharged from the drug solution container 2 even when the pressure changes in the drug solution container 2 due to the temperature change. The buffer chamber 6 acts as follows with respect to the temperature change of the chemical liquid container 2.

For example, when the temperature rises and the drug solution container 2 is warmed, the air in the drug solution container 2 expands and the pressure inside the drug solution container 2 becomes positive. In this case, the chemical liquid in the chemical liquid container 2 is pushed out and discharged from the mouth portion 21, but the discharged chemical liquid flows from the connection member 44 and the discharge member 45 to the guide member 5, and also through the liquid passage hole 46. It also flows into the buffer chamber 6. Therefore, the chemical liquid is prevented from excessively flowing out to the guide member 5.

On the other hand, when the temperature of the drug solution container 2 is lowered by being cooled by running water, the air in the drug solution container 2 contracts and the drug solution container 2 has a negative pressure. In this case, the chemical liquid in the buffer chamber 6 which is at the atmospheric pressure or the room pressure due to the action of the air circulation holes (the notch 35 and the notch 47) is sucked into the chemical liquid container 2 through the liquid passage hole 46. Be done. Therefore, the water on the guide member 5 or the diluted chemical liquid is suppressed from returning to the chemical liquid container 2 side through the discharge member 45 and the connection member 44. Further, it is possible to prevent the negative pressure in the liquid medicine container 2 from limiting the discharge of the liquid medicine.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and FIGS. 10 to 13, the guide member 5 has a plate shape and projects downward from the bottom surface portion 30 so as to cross the through hole 36. The guide member 5 guides the chemical liquid discharged from the chemical liquid container 2 to the support body 3 via the connection member 44 and the discharge member 45 to a position where the chemical liquid contacts the liquid such as water flowing outside the support body 3. Is. A fitting protrusion 50 is provided at the upper end of the guide member 5 and protrudes above the bottom surface portion 30 through the through hole 36. The fitting protrusion 50 can be fitted into the discharge member 45 of the cover member 4. A vertical groove 51 extending from the upper end to the lower end is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the fitting protrusion 50, and the vertical groove 51 guides the liquid medicine passing through the discharge member 45 to the guide member 5 by a capillary action.

A large number of narrow grooves 52 extending in the vertical direction are formed on the front surface and the back surface of the guide member 5. The guide member 5 is located between the two long legs 32, and is inserted into the drain port of the hand washing part together with the long legs 32. The guide member 5 is formed to be slightly shorter than the long leg 32, and only the lower end portion thereof is inserted into the drainage port. When the guide member 5 is contacted with the running water supplied to the hand washing part, the chemicals on the front and back surfaces of the guiding member 5 are exposed to the running water and flow into the water tank from the drain port together with the running water. Between the guide member 5 and the long leg 32, a water blocking wall 39 having a substantially rectangular frame shape is provided. The impermeable wall 39 is formed to be shorter than the guide member 5, and restricts the flowing water supplied to the hand washing section from flowing backward from the guide member 5 into the support body 3.

Next, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, one or a plurality of ornaments 7 are housed in the chemical liquid container 2 together with the chemical liquid to decorate the chemical liquid supply device 1 and make the chemical liquid supply device 1 look beautiful. Improve. The decoration 7 can be formed of, for example, a synthetic resin or glass in addition to using a natural product. The form of the ornament 7 is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a sheet shape or a three-dimensional shape. The sheet shape can be made of a non-woven fabric or a woven fabric made of natural fibers or synthetic resin fibers. The three-dimensional shape may be formed by a molded product such as synthetic resin or glass, or may be formed by bending a sheet to form a three-dimensional shape.

As the ornament 7, for example, a model resembling a plant such as a flower, a leaf, a stem, or a grass; a model resembling a tree; a model resembling an animal; a model resembling an insect; a model resembling a fruit. Objects; Shapes resembling aquatic organisms (including marine life) such as starfish and corals; Shapes resembling stars, moons, planets; Spheres such as beads and marbles, or sphere-like objects; Natural stones And artificial stone; sand and shells can be exemplified. In this embodiment, the ornament 7 is a sheet-shaped artificial flower.

The decoration 7 may remain in the liquid medicine and float in the liquid medicine in the liquid medicine container 2, may float in the liquid medicine and float on the liquid surface of the liquid medicine, or in the liquid medicine. It may be submerged in and sink below the liquid medicine.

When the decoration 7 floats in the chemical liquid in the chemical liquid container 2, the decoration effect of the decoration 7 is increased, and the chemical liquid supply device installed at the height of the line of sight like the chemical liquid supply device 1 of the present embodiment. On the other hand, since the ornament 7 inside the chemical liquid container 2 can be seen well when the chemical liquid supply device 1 is viewed straight, the aesthetic appearance of the chemical liquid supply device 1 can be improved.

When the decoration 7 floats on the liquid surface of the chemical liquid in the chemical liquid container 2, the decoration 7 moves up and down in the chemical liquid container 2 together with the liquid surface of the chemical liquid, so that the position of the decoration 7 in the chemical liquid container 2 is increased. By confirming, the remaining amount of the liquid medicine in the liquid medicine container 2 can be easily grasped. Further, when the chemical liquid supply device 1 is viewed from above with respect to the chemical liquid supply device 1 installed on the floor, the decoration 7 in the chemical liquid container 2 floats above the chemical liquid container 2 so that it can be seen well. Therefore, the aesthetic appearance of the chemical liquid supply device 1 can be improved.

When the ornament 7 is sunk in the lower portion of the liquid medicine in the liquid medicine container 2, the ornament 7 is displayed on the bottom of the liquid medicine container 2 when expressing, for example, a flower submerged in water or the seabed in the liquid medicine container 2. Since it is maintained, the above-mentioned world view can be well expressed, and the aesthetic appearance of the chemical liquid supply device 1 can be improved.

As a method of suspending the decoration 7 in the chemical liquid in the chemical liquid container 2, for example, making the specific gravity of the decoration 7 during drying equal to the specific gravity of the chemical liquid can be mentioned. Here, “specific gravity is equal” means that the specific gravity of the ornament 7 and the chemical liquid are the same, or that even if there is a difference in specific gravity, the difference is not so large that the ornament 7 rises or sinks. The specific gravity of 7 can be set to, for example, 0.9 times or more and 1.1 times or less the specific gravity of the chemical solution.

As a method of floating the decoration 7 on the liquid surface of the chemical liquid in the chemical liquid container 2, for example, the specific gravity of the decoration 7 when dried may be smaller than the specific gravity of the chemical liquid. Here, the small specific gravity means that the more the decoration 7 rises, the smaller the specific gravity of the decoration 7 is, and the specific gravity of the decoration 7 is, for example, more than 0.9 times the specific gravity of the chemical. Can be made smaller.

Further, as a method of submerging the ornament 7 in the lower portion of the chemical liquid in the chemical liquid container 2, for example, the specific gravity of the ornament 7 during drying may be made higher than the specific gravity of the chemical liquid. Here, the larger specific gravity means that the more the sedimentation of the ornament 7 is, the greater the specific gravity of the ornament 7 is than the specific gravity of the chemical liquid. The specific gravity of the ornament 7 is, for example, 1.1 times the specific gravity of the chemical liquid. Can be large.

The specific gravity of the chemical solution described above can be measured at room temperature (25° C.) using a standard specific gravity meter (1-5659 (small size), manufactured by Nippon Keiki Kogyo Co., Ltd.). For example, when the specific gravity of the chemical solution is 0.94 to 1.00, No. No. 5 when the specific gravity is 1.00 to 1.06. No. 6 is 1.06 to 1.12. No. 7 is 1.12 to 1.18, No. No. 8 is 1.18 to 1.24 and No. No. 9 is 1.24 to 1.28. Ten hydrometers are used respectively. Specifically, put 100 ml of the drug solution into a graduated cylinder with a capacity of 100 ml, float a hydrometer on the drug solution, and with the hydrometer stably floating, the value of the intersection of the liquid level and the black line of the hydrometer. The specific gravity is measured by reading.

Further, the specific gravity of the ornament 7 described above is determined by adding a certain amount of distilled water to a graduated cylinder having a fine scale (for example, 0.2 ml) and then adding the distilled water until the ornament 7 is immersed in the increment (decoration The volume of the decoration 7 can be read and calculated by the weight of the decoration 7 in a dry state measured in advance and the increment of the read scale (volume of the decoration 7).

The decoration 7 preferably has a property of not substantially absorbing the chemical liquid. Since the decoration 7 does not substantially absorb the chemical liquid, the specific gravity of the decoration 7 hardly changes even when the decoration 7 is stored in the chemical liquid container 2 together with the chemical liquid, and the state of the decoration 7 in the chemical liquid (the above-mentioned floating, The floating or sedimentation state can be maintained until the end of use of the chemical liquid feeder 1. Note that the property of the decoration 7 that it does not substantially absorb the chemical liquid is that it absorbs the chemical liquid at all and absorbs the chemical liquid to some extent. The floating state or the settling state) is allowed to the extent that it can be maintained until the end of use of the chemical liquid feeder 1.

The decoration 7 does not necessarily have to have the property of not substantially absorbing the chemical liquid, but may have the property of absorbing the chemical liquid. In this case, the specific gravity of the decoration 7 is smaller than the specific gravity of the chemical liquid in the dry state and floats on the liquid surface of the chemical liquid, but the absorption of the chemical liquid causes the decoration 7 to float in the chemical liquid or at the bottom of the chemical liquid. It may sink. In the dry state, the decoration 7 has a specific gravity equivalent to that of the chemical liquid and floats in the chemical liquid. However, the decoration 7 may sink below the chemical liquid by absorbing the chemical liquid.

According to the above-described chemical liquid supply device 1 of the present embodiment, since the decoration 7 is housed together with the chemical liquid inside the chemical liquid container 2 whose inside can be visually recognized, the chemical liquid supply device 1 itself is provided by the decorative effect of the decoration 7. Have an aesthetic appeal. Therefore, for example, when the chemical liquid supply device 1 is installed in the hand washing part above the water storage tank of the flush toilet, other ornaments are not required for decorating the hand washing part. Therefore, it suffices to secure a space of the same size as the conventional chemical liquid supply device in the hand-washing section, and a large space is not required in the hand-washing section for decoration. In addition, the various openings 37A, 37B formed in the chemical liquid supply device 1 and the drain ports of the hand washing section are not blocked, so that the desired effect of the chemical liquid supply device 1 can be obtained.

Further, the wall body 10 is arranged outside the ejection port 22 in the liquid medicine container 2 along at least a part of the peripheral edge of the ejection port 22. Therefore, even if the decoration 7 in the liquid medicine container 2 is submerged in the lower portion of the liquid medicine or is settled due to the decrease in the amount of the liquid medicine due to use, as shown in FIG. It is possible to prevent the discharge port 22 from being covered by the decoration 7 and blocked by the discharge port 22 by, for example. At this time, the chemical liquid in the chemical liquid container 2 passes through a communication portion such as a notch 27 (or a through hole or a vacant portion on the periphery of the discharge port 22 where the wall body 10 is not arranged) provided in the wall body 10. And is discharged from the discharge port 22 to the outside of the liquid medicine container 2. Therefore, the decoration 7 in the chemical liquid container 2 does not hinder the discharge of the chemical liquid from the discharge port 22, and the chemical liquid can be supplied without any problem.
