Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement in a liquid discharge container having a manual pump mechanism that discharges liquid by being close to the liquid filling bottle in which discharge nozzles are arranged coaxially.

  In the conventional liquid discharge container, the one that discharges contents by pushing the top surface of the pump downward is the mainstream. However, since most of the discharge ports that aim at the affected area are located at the nozzle tip, when the pump is pressed to discharge the liquid, the pump moves up and down, and the position of the discharge port at the nozzle tip moves up and down. It was. This is inconvenient because the actual discharge position deviates from the target position.

Since it is the discharge port of the nozzle tip that determines the aim of the affected part, if the nozzle tip does not move even if the pump is pressed, the position of the nozzle tip does not occur as shown in Patent Document 1. A side-drive type fluid dispenser device has been provided in which the liquid filling bottle is lifted by the pressing force from the left and right directions and the contents are discharged.

  However, the side-drive type fluid dispenser device described in Patent Document 1 can be driven only by pressure from the left and right directions, and such a method of use can be used even when use by vertical movement is desired. could not. Furthermore, the method of driving with the pressure from the left and right often acts unintentionally and has a high risk of malfunctioning as compared with the case of driving with the upper and lower pressures.

The configuration up to this point is not a special one, and there is no difference from the conventional vertical-push-type liquid spray container.

A working convex portion 9 is formed along the circumference on the upper outer periphery of the liquid filling bottle 5, and a retracting concave portion 10 is formed along the circumference below the working convex portion 9. The outer diameter of the action convex portion 9 is formed to be slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the liquid filling bottle 5. In the embodiment, the working convex portion 9 and the retracting concave portion 10 are formed along the circumference, but it is obvious that only necessary portions may be partially formed.

  In the retracting recess 10, a malfunction prevention stopper 11 is formed with a height equal to a height of a rest position before use of a pressing portion 18 of a pressing tab 17 described later. The pressing portion 18 of the pressing tab 17 of the auxiliary tool 2 when not in use is in contact with the malfunction prevention stopper 11 and stops the lowering of the auxiliary tool 2.

The auxiliary tool 2 is formed by forming a nozzle housing part 14 having a spray window 13 serving as a discharge empty part on an upper part of a cylindrical body part 12 having an inner diameter matching an outer periphery of the liquid- filled bottle 5. The top of the storage unit 14 is the auxiliary tool top 15. The cap 3 covers the nozzle storage portion 14. Of course, this cap 3 does not directly constitute the invention.
