  A dispenser provided with such a pressing head exhibits the above-mentioned specific effects, but it slides with a sliding cylinder and cylinder cylinder that slide in the vertical direction, or with a skirt portion of the valve member that slides in the front-rear direction. Since the moving surface or the saddle member whose upper part swings in the front-rear direction and lower part moves together, it slides on the sliding part between the sliding cylinder and the cylinder cylinder and the sliding part on the skirt part of the valve member. A force is likely to be applied in a direction different from the moving direction, and as a result, there is a risk of causing a sliding failure and hindering smooth operation of each member. For this reason, silicon oil or the like is applied to the sliding surface to improve it, but inconveniences such as an increase in material costs and an application process occur.

The pressing head 12 is fitted. A discharge valve 13 is provided in the upper part of the stem 11.

  The pressing head 12 in the present invention includes a main body 12a, a valve member 12b, and a connecting cylinder member 12c.

Body 12a includes a casing 12a _1, constitutes in the spout member 12a _2, the casing 12a ₁ is wall 20 upper edge than the top wall 21 to form a closed top cylindrical lower end opening formed by extending, A horizontal tube 22 having a front opening at the front portion of the peripheral wall 20 is integrally extended rearward. Further, a circular communication hole h is formed on the lower surface of the horizontal tube 22 in the front-rear direction, and the communication tube h is shortened downward from the periphery. The cylinder 23 is suspended. A protrusion 24 for locking the connecting cylinder member 12c is provided at a predetermined position on the inner periphery of the peripheral wall 20. The spout member 12a ₂ is fitted to the tip of the horizontal cylinder 22 and is defined in the valve chamber R inside the casing 12a ₁ . The spout member 12a ₂ has a front end projecting from the front end of the horizontal tube 22 tapered to open a spout 31 at the front end, and a plurality of ribs 30 in the circumferential direction projecting from the front part of the inner surface.

The valve member 12b is formed of silicon rubber, has a horizontal bar-shaped body portion 40 whose front end is tapered, and an annular spring portion 41 is integrally extended rearward from the rear end edge of the body portion. The annular spring part 41 has a lateral skirt shape and is configured to expand backward in a stepped manner. A fitting cylinder part 42 extending to the rear edge part is closely fitted to the rear end part of the inner periphery of the valve chamber R so that the body part 40 is moved forward. The tip of the body 40 is tightly fitted to the jet port 31 so that the jet port 31 is closed so that it can be opened and closed. A flow path from the communication hole h to the ejection port 31 is defined. Also, a guide recess 43 having a lower first inclined surface f ₁ that opens downward at the lower end of the middle portion 40 of the body portion 40 of the valve member 12b and tilts forward is provided. The guide recess 43 in the illustrated example is configured as a through hole reaching the upper end.

In the connecting cylinder member 12c, the lower end portion of the connecting cylinder 50 protruding from the communication hole h is fitted to the stem 11. The connecting cylinder 50 is formed with a large diameter at the lower portion and a small diameter at the upper portion, and the upper end portion of the internal communication passage 51 that connects the inside of the stem 11 and the inside of the valve chamber R is opened forward. The rear part of the top is formed as a second inclined surface f ₂ having the same inclination angle as the first inclined surface f ₁ . Further, an annular elastic wall 52 whose outer peripheral portion is curved and raised from the outer periphery of the connecting cylinder 50 below the communication hole h is extended, and an annular engaging portion 53 connected to the outer peripheral edge of the annular elastic wall 52 is provided at the lower surface position of the horizontal cylinder 22. The valve chamber R is liquid-tightly closed by fitting fluid-tightly to the inner periphery of the peripheral wall 20.

The main body 12a is maintained at the highest position with respect to the connecting cylinder member 12c. Further, when the first inclined surface f ₁ slides down on the second inclined surface f ₂ by pushing down the main body 12a, the valve member 12b moves backward against the forward biasing force of the annular spring portion 41. The jet outlet 31 is configured to open.

The pressing head 12 is configured such that the pressing force of the main body 12a against the stem 11 is smaller than the pressing force of the stem itself. In order to configure in this way, basically the annular spring portion 41 for biasing the valve member 12b forward rather than the elastic force of the elastic material for biasing the stem 11 of the dispenser B to be mounted upward. Sum of the elastic force of the coil spring s, the elastic force of the coil spring s, the frictional force between the first inclined surface f ₁ and the second inclined surface f ₂ and the force necessary for elastic deformation of the annular elastic wall 52 Should be selected smaller.

When the pressing head 12 configured as described above is pushed down from the state shown in FIG. 2A, the pressing force of the stem 11 itself is larger than the pressing force of the main body 12a against the stem 11, so that the first stem 11 is lowered. 1 (see line (1)), the first inclined surface f ₁ slides down the second inclined surface f ₂ while elastically deforming the annular elastic wall 52, and the main body 12a descends with respect to the connecting cylinder member 12c (see FIG. Line (2)). At this time, as shown in FIG. 2B, the valve member 12b moves backward against the elastic force of the annular spring portion 41, and the jet port 31 is opened. Next, as shown in FIG. 2 (c), the stem 11 is lowered (see the line (3)) and the pressing head 12 is also lowered (see the line (4)), and the liquid in the dispenser B is lowered by the lowering of the stem. From the inside of the stem 11, it is ejected from the ejection port 31 through the communication passage 51 and the valve chamber R.

Next, when the pressing of the pressing head 12 is released, the main body 12a is raised by the upward biasing force of the stem first. At this time, for example, the stem 11 is raised before the hand pressing the upper surface of the main body 12a is released, and the ejection port 31 is kept open. Therefore, at this time, the inside of the valve chamber R is in a negative pressure state. Then, the hand can scope release the, as valve member 12b and the connecting cylindrical member first inclined surface f ₁ by the elastic restoring force of the annular spring 41 and annular elastic wall 52 slides increases the second inclined surface f ₂ above 12c moves relatively, raises the main body 12a with respect to the connecting cylinder member 12c, closes the jet port 31 at the front end of the valve member 12b, and returns to the original state.
