At the lower end of No. 3, a flange portion 32 extending outward in the radial direction is extended. The auxiliary member 30 is mounted on the outer peripheral wall 11 of the mounting cap 10 with the flange portion 32 facing downward (first posture) in the distribution process of the pump-equipped pouring container 1.

In this embodiment, the fitting peripheral wall portion 31 and the flange portion 32 correspond to approximately two-thirds of the circumference forming a substantially C-shape in a plan view, rather than a completely cylindrical or outer flange shape formed over one circumference. The defective portion 35 is a portion in which only the area to be formed is formed in the shape of a cylinder or an outer flange, and the fitting peripheral wall portion 31 and the flange portion 32 are not formed in a part of the other range (approximately 1/3 circumference range). Is provided.

The mounting cap 10 is a member for fixing the manual pump 20 to the mouth cylinder portion of the container body 2, and has a non-slip knurl 11a engraved on the outer peripheral surface and the mouth of the container body 2 on the inner peripheral surface. An outer peripheral wall 11 is provided in which a female screw (not shown) screwed into a male screw formed on the tubular portion is threaded.

As a result, the fitting peripheral wall portion 31 is firmly fitted to the outer peripheral wall 11 of the mounting cap 10, so that rattling of the auxiliary member 30 after mounting can be prevented. The pump-equipped pouring container 1 is placed in the distribution process in a state where the auxiliary member 30 is attached to the outer peripheral wall 11 of the mounting cap 10 by the above method.

To remove the auxiliary member 30 from the outer peripheral wall 11 of the mounting cap 10, the operation opposite to that at the time of mounting is performed. That is, in a state where the fitting peripheral wall portion 31 of the auxiliary member 30 is fitted to the outer peripheral wall 11 of the mounting cap 10, the fitting peripheral wall portion 31 or the flange portion 32 is held and the stem 23 is moved outward in the radial direction. The auxiliary member 30 is forcibly pulled out. Then, the first locking portions 33 and the second locking portions 34 provided above and below the inner peripheral surface of the fitting peripheral wall portion 31 release the locking at the upper and lower ends of the outer peripheral wall 11 of the mounting cap 10. Further, when the auxiliary member 30 is pulled out, the defective portion 35 is pushed open in response to the pulling operation and the fitting peripheral wall portion 31 is deformed in a diameter-expanded shape. Therefore, the auxiliary member 30 can be removed from the outer peripheral wall 11 of the mounting cap 10. it can.
In this way, the auxiliary member 30 is configured to be removable from the outer peripheral wall 11 of the mounting cap 10.

Next, a method of pouring out the content liquid filled in the container body 2 in the pump-equipped pouring container 1 in the state of FIG. 1 in which the auxiliary member 30 is mounted on the outer peripheral wall 11 of the mounting cap 10 will be described. To do.

Also in this case, the first locking portion 33 and the second locking portion 34 provided above and below the inner peripheral surface of the fitting peripheral wall portion 31 lock the upper end and the lower end of the outer peripheral wall 11 of the mounting cap 10, respectively. Since the fitting peripheral wall portion 31 is fitted to the outer peripheral wall 11 of the mounting cap 10 in this state, it is possible to prevent the auxiliary member 30 from rattling after mounting.

Next, the nozzle head 22 is rotated in the circumferential direction, and the nozzle head 22 screwed into the male screw 21a formed on the outer peripheral surface of the upper portion of the pump body 21 is screwed off to release the screw fixing. Then, the spring (not shown) housed in the stem 23 in the contracted state is released, the stem 23 extends upward, and the nozzle head 22 rises upward (see FIG. 4).

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the nozzle cylinder 22b on the nozzle head 22 side and the flange portion 32 on the auxiliary member 30 side are opposed to each other, and in this state, for example, between the thumb F1 and the index finger F2, the nozzle head 22 When the head and the lower surface of the flange portion 32 are sandwiched and the thumb F1 is pushed in from this state to push down the nozzle head 22 downward, the content liquid is poured onto the other three fingers F3, F4, and F5. It becomes possible to put it out.
As described above, in the present invention, since the flange portion 32 of the auxiliary member 30 mounted upside down can be provided with a finger hook function, the content liquid can be poured out only by operating one hand.
First, the nozzle head 22 is raised upward, then the auxiliary member 30 is removed from the outer peripheral wall 11 of the mounting cap 10, and the auxiliary member 30 is turned upside down to be in the second posture of the mounting cap 10. It may be reattached to the outer peripheral wall 11.

Next, the work of replenishing the content liquid will be described.

In the taken-out state, that is, in the state where the mouthpiece portion of the container body 2 is opened, new content liquid is replenished in the container body 2.

After the manual pump 20 is taken out from the container body 2, the auxiliary member 30 is removed from the outer peripheral wall 11 of the mounting cap 10, and the removed auxiliary member 30 is mounted on the nozzle head 22.
At this time, the nozzle cylinder 22b of the nozzle head 22 is set to be arranged in the defective portion 35 of the auxiliary member 30, and the auxiliary member 30 is in the first posture with the flange portion 32 facing upward. In this state, it is attached to the head body 22a of the nozzle head 22 of the manual pump 20 in the upright posture (the state in which the nozzle head 22 is in the upper position).
Alternatively, when the manual pump 20 is in the inverted posture ((the nozzle head 22 is in the lower position, see FIG. 6)), the auxiliary member 30 in the second posture with the flange portion 32 facing downward is used. , Attached to the head body 22a of the nozzle head 22.

When the auxiliary member 30 is attached to the head body 22a, the first locking portion 33 on the flange portion 32 side formed on the inner peripheral surface of the fitting peripheral wall portion 31 becomes the outer peripheral surface of the head body 22a constituting the nozzle head 22. The lower flange portion 22c provided around the wall is locked and held. When the flange portion 32 of the manual pump 20 in the inverted posture is installed on a flat table 40 such as a floor or a washbasin, the flange portion 32 stably supports the manual pump 20 in the inverted posture, and the manual pump 20 Suppress falls.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the manual pump 20 from tipping over or rotating during the replenishment work of replenishing the container body 2 with new content liquid, so that the content liquid remaining around the manual pump 20 can be prevented. It is possible to prevent the product from adhering to the flat table 40 such as the floor or the wash basin and becoming dirty.

Further, since the manual pump 20 does not tip over or rotate and there is no chance of foreign matter adhering to the manual pump 20, it is possible to prevent the foreign matter from being taken into the container body 2.

Then, after the replenishment work of the content liquid is completed, the manual pump 20 is fixed to the mouth cylinder portion of the container body 2 again via the mounting cap 10, and the auxiliary member 30 is mounted on the outer peripheral wall 11 of the mounting cap 10. As a result, the content liquid can be poured out.

Although the configuration of the present invention and its action and effect have been described above with reference to Examples, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the above Examples.
For example, in the above embodiment, the configuration in which the mounting cap 10 and the pump body 21 are formed of separate members has been described, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and the mounting cap and the pump body are included. May be integrally formed.

Further, in the above embodiment, the configuration in which the auxiliary member 30 includes the defective portion 35 which is the portion where the fitting peripheral wall portion 31 and the flange portion 32 are not formed has been described, but the cylindrical configuration does not have the defective portion 35. In this case, by inserting the lower end (upper end in FIG. 5) of the pump body 21 into the cylindrical auxiliary member 30, it can be attached to and detached from the outer peripheral wall 11 of the mounting cap 10. is there.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the flange portion 32 is formed so as to expand outward in the radial direction in a plan view is shown in a substantially C shape, but the present invention is limited to this shape. However, any other shape such as an elliptical shape or a polygonal shape may be used as long as the manual pump 20 can be held in an inverted posture.

Further, the auxiliary member 30 may be configured not to have the flange portion 32.
In this case, the outer peripheral end of the auxiliary member 30 installed on the flat table 40 such as the floor or the washbasin supports the manual pump 20 in the inverted posture, but the manual pump 20 in the inverted posture is more stable. In order to support the above, a configuration having a flange portion 32 is preferable.
