Description

本発明は、泡吐出器に関し、特に、容器本体の口首部に取り付けて用いられ、収容された収容液を空気と混合することにより泡状にして吐出する泡吐出器に関する。   The present invention relates to a foam dispenser, and more particularly, to a foam dispenser that is used by being attached to a mouth neck portion of a container main body and ejects the contained liquid contained in a foam by mixing it with air.

例えば液状の洗浄剤や毛髪剤等を収容し、容器を置いたままの状態でヘッド部を押圧操作することにより、内容液を泡状にして吐出させるポンプフォーマー容器等の泡吐出容器が種々開発されている。このような泡吐出容器では、容器本体の口首部に、内容液を空気と混合することにより泡状にして吐出する泡吐出器が装着されている。泡吐出器は、例えば容器本体の口首部に装着されるベースキャップ部に、内容液の吸引、加圧、排出を行うピストンと、空気の吸引、加圧、排出を行うピストンをそれぞれ同心に配置して組み入れた単一のシリンダ部からなるポンプが設けられており、ベースキャップ部の上方に突出するヘッド部の押し込みによりポンプの各ピストンを作動させ、シリンダ部内に吸引された内容液と空気のそれぞれを、加圧して合流空間に圧送して相互に混合し、メッシュリング等の泡生成部材を通過させることで泡状の内容液を外部に吐出させる構造となっている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   For example, various foam discharge containers such as pump former containers that contain liquid cleaning agents, hair preparations, etc., and press the head while the container is placed to discharge the content liquid in the form of bubbles Has been developed. In such a foam discharge container, a foam discharger is mounted on the mouth neck of the container body to discharge the content liquid into a foam by mixing it with air. For example, the foam dispenser has a piston that performs suction, pressurization, and discharge of the liquid and a piston that performs suction, pressurization, and discharge of air concentrically on the base cap that is attached to the mouth of the container body. A pump consisting of a single cylinder part incorporated in the pump is provided, and each piston of the pump is operated by pushing the head part protruding above the base cap part, and the contents liquid and air sucked into the cylinder part are Each of them is pressurized and fed into a confluence space, mixed with each other, and passed through a foam generating member such as a mesh ring to discharge a foam-like content liquid to the outside (for example, Patent Document 1). reference).

また、ポンプフォーマー容器等の泡吐出容器は、例えば浴室や洗面台等の水周りで使用される機会が多いため、水に濡れることが多い。特に浴室においては、シャワー等の水が容器に直接かかる場合がある。また、洗い場等で桶等に倒れて水に濡れる場合もある。さらに、ヘッド部は、濡れた手で押すことが多いため、ヘッド部の周囲は水に濡れる機会が多い。泡吐出器は、ヘッド部を押圧して内容液を泡状に吐出した後にこれの押圧を解除した際に、ヘッド部が上方に戻されるのに伴って、シリンダ部の内部が負圧になり、ヘッド部の高さ方向に延びる縦方向流路を形成する中空パイプとベースキャップ部のガイドステムとの間の空間を介して、シリンダ部内の空気室に外気を吸引する。空気室に外気を吸引する際に、外気と共にヘッド部やベースキャップ部の周囲の水が吸引されることが多い。   Moreover, since foam discharge containers, such as a pump former container, are often used around water, such as a bathroom and a washstand, they often get wet with water. Especially in the bathroom, water such as a shower may be applied directly to the container. In addition, there are cases where it falls into a bag or the like and gets wet with water at a washing place. Furthermore, since the head part is often pushed with a wet hand, the surroundings of the head part often get wet with water. When the foam discharger presses the head part to discharge the content liquid in a foam form and then releases the pressure, the inside of the cylinder part becomes negative pressure as the head part is returned upward. Then, outside air is sucked into the air chamber in the cylinder portion through a space between the hollow pipe forming the longitudinal flow path extending in the height direction of the head portion and the guide stem of the base cap portion. When the outside air is sucked into the air chamber, the water around the head portion and the base cap portion is often sucked together with the outside air.

このようなことから、ヘッド部の中空パイプとベースキャップ部のガイドステムとの間の空間から、水が浸入しないように工夫した泡吐出容器が種々開発されている(例えば、特許文献2、特許文献3参照)。特許文献2や特許文献3に記載の泡吐出容器では、ヘッド部の中空パイプの外側に、ガイドステムの外周面に沿って往復動するスカート状カバーを設けて中空パイプとガイドステムとの間の空間を覆い、空気室への水の浸入を防止するようになっている。また、特許文献2や特許文献3に記載の泡吐出容器では、ヘッド部の押圧操作をしていない状態で、泡吐出容器が転倒したり水の中に沈められた場合でも、ガイドステムの外周面とスカート状カバーの内周面との間の隙間を経てヘッド部の内部に水が浸入しないように、ガイドステムの最上端外面と、スカート状カバーの最下端内面のそれぞれに、ヘッド部の初期姿勢において互いに近接して水を通過させない極僅かな微小隙間を形成する環状凸部を設けることにより、ヘッド部の中空パイプとベースキャップ部のガイドステムとの間の空間への水の浸入を入口部分で遮断するようになっている。

For this reason, various foam discharge containers designed to prevent water from entering from the space between the hollow pipe of the head portion and the guide stem of the base cap portion have been developed (for example, Patent Document 2, Patents). Reference 3). In the foam discharge containers described in Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3, a skirt-like cover that reciprocates along the outer peripheral surface of the guide stem is provided outside the hollow pipe of the head portion, and the gap between the hollow pipe and the guide stem is provided. It covers the space and prevents water from entering the air chamber. Further, in the foam discharge containers described in Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3, even when the foam discharge container falls over or is submerged in water without pressing the head portion, the outer periphery of the guide stem In order to prevent water from entering the inside of the head part through a gap between the surface and the inner peripheral surface of the skirt-like cover, the head part has an outermost surface on the uppermost end of the guide stem and an innermost end of the skirt-like cover. In the initial posture, by providing an annular convex part that forms a very small gap that does not allow water to pass through in the initial position, water can enter the space between the hollow pipe of the head part and the guide stem of the base cap part. It is designed to shut off at the entrance.

しかしながら、ヘッド部の押圧操作をしていない状態で、ガイドステムとスカート状カバーとの間の隙間からの水の浸入を防止するようにした従来の泡吐出容器では、スカート状カバーは、ヘッド部の押圧操作によってピストン部材と共に一体となって上下動するため、繰り返し押圧操作が行われると、押圧状態を開放しても、ガイドステムの最上端外面の環状凸部の先端と、スカート状カバーの最下端内面の環状凸部の先端とが対向する初期の状態まで復元されず、環状凸部の間に大きな隙間が生じて、ヘッド部の内部に水が浸入し易くなることがある。すなわち、例えばシリンダ部の内周面には、ピストン部の摺動をスムーズに行わせるためのシリコン等の滑剤が塗布されているが、押圧操作の繰り返しによって、滑剤が減少したり、ヘッド部を上方向に付勢している弾性部材とヘッド部の押圧操作により上下する部材と他の部材の摩擦抵抗とのバランス等により、押圧状態を開放してもピストン部が上がりきらなくなって、環状凸部の間に大きな隙間が残り易くなる。   However, in the conventional foam discharge container in which the intrusion of water from the gap between the guide stem and the skirt-like cover is prevented without pressing the head part, the skirt-like cover is When the pressing operation is repeated, even if the pressing state is released, the tip of the annular convex portion on the outermost end of the guide stem and the skirt-shaped cover It may not be restored to the initial state where the tip of the annular convex portion on the innermost surface of the lowermost end is opposed, and a large gap may be formed between the annular convex portions, so that water can easily enter the inside of the head portion. That is, for example, a lubricant such as silicon is applied to the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder portion to smoothly slide the piston portion. However, the lubricant may be reduced or the head portion may be reduced by repeating the pressing operation. Due to the balance between the elastic member biased upward, the member that moves up and down by the pressing operation of the head part, and the frictional resistance of other members, the piston part cannot be raised even if the pressing state is released, Large gaps easily remain between the portions.

本発明は、ヘッド部の押圧が解除された際にシリンダ部に対してエアピストン部材が戻りきらなくなった場合でも、ヘッド部の内部に水が浸入してシリンダ部におけるエアピストン部材の上方に相当量の水が滞留するのを効果的に回避することのできる泡吐出器を提供することを目的とする。   Even if the air piston member cannot fully return to the cylinder portion when the pressure of the head portion is released, water enters the inside of the head portion and corresponds to above the air piston member in the cylinder portion. An object of the present invention is to provide a foam dispenser capable of effectively avoiding the retention of an amount of water.

本発明は、筒状のガイドステムを天井部から立設させて容器本体の口首部に装着されるベースキャップ部と、前記ガイドステムに挿入される中空パイプと収容液を吐出する吐出口を有し、且つ前記ガイドステムの外周面と隙間を保持しつつ該外周面に沿って往復動するスカート状カバーを有するヘッド部と、前記容器本体内側に配置される空気室及び液導入室からなるシリンダ部と、液導入室の内周面を摺動するピストン部材及び該ピストン部材と連動して前記空気室の内周面を摺動するエアピストン部材とを備え、前記ヘッド部の押圧により前記空気室及び前記液導入室から混合室に空気と内容液を圧送して混合させ、前記吐出口から泡として吐出させる泡吐出器であって、前記ヘッド部の押圧を解除して前記空気室が負圧になった際に、前記ガイドステムの外周面と前記スカート状カバーとの間の隙間を介して前記空気室に外気が取り込まれ、前記ヘッド部の非押圧静止状態で、前記ガイドステムの外周面と前記スカート状カバーとの間の隙間から前記エアピストン部材の上方に至る外気取り込み経路に、内側環状壁面と外側環状壁面との対向面によって微小間隙部を形成し、且つ該微小間隙部は、前記ヘッド部の押圧が解除された際に前記シリンダ部に対して前記エアピストン部材が戻りきらない場合でも、押圧方向における前記対向面の重なり幅を確保できる領域に前記内側環状壁面及び前記外側環状壁面が形成されている泡吐出器を提供することにより、上記目的を達成したものである。   The present invention has a base cap portion that is installed on a neck portion of a container body with a cylindrical guide stem standing from a ceiling portion, a hollow pipe that is inserted into the guide stem, and a discharge port that discharges stored liquid. And a cylinder having a head portion having a skirt-like cover that reciprocates along the outer peripheral surface while maintaining a gap with the outer peripheral surface of the guide stem, and an air chamber and a liquid introduction chamber disposed inside the container body. And a piston member that slides on the inner peripheral surface of the liquid introduction chamber, and an air piston member that slides on the inner peripheral surface of the air chamber in conjunction with the piston member. A foam discharger that pumps and mixes air and content liquid from the chamber and the liquid introduction chamber to the mixing chamber, and discharges the mixture as bubbles from the discharge port. When it comes to pressure, The outside air is taken into the air chamber through a gap between the outer peripheral surface of the guide stem and the skirt-shaped cover, and the outer surface of the guide stem and the skirt-shaped cover are A minute gap is formed by the opposing surfaces of the inner annular wall surface and the outer annular wall surface in the outside air intake path extending from the gap between the air piston member and the air piston member, and the minute gap portion is pressed by the head portion. The inner annular wall surface and the outer annular wall surface are formed in a region where the overlapping width of the facing surfaces in the pressing direction can be secured even when the air piston member does not return to the cylinder part when released. By providing a foam discharger, the above object is achieved.

本発明の泡吐出器によれば、ヘッド部の押圧が解除された際にシリンダ部に対してエアピストン部材が戻りきらなくなった場合でも、ヘッド部の内部に水が浸入してシリンダ部におけるエアピストン部材の上方に相当量の水が滞留するのを効果的に回避することができる。   According to the foam discharger of the present invention, even when the air piston member cannot return to the cylinder part when the pressure of the head part is released, water enters the inside of the head part and the air in the cylinder part It can be effectively avoided that a considerable amount of water stays above the piston member.

本発明の好ましい一実施形態に係る泡吐出器10は、いわゆるポンプフォーマー容器に取り付けて用いるポンプフォーマーであって、図1に示すように、従来のポンプフォーマーと同様に、容器本体11の口首部12に装着されて、内容液を空気と混合することにより泡状にして吐出する機能を備えている。すなわち、泡吐出器10は、容器本体11の口首部12に装着されるベースキャップ部14に取り付けられ、内容液の吸引、加圧、排出を行うピストン部材15と、空気の吸引、加圧、排出を行うエアピストン部材16とをそれぞれ同心に配置にして組み入れた単一のシリンダ部17を備えるポンプ18を有している。そして、泡吐出器10は、ベースキャップ部14の上方に位置するヘッド部19の押し込みによりポンプ18のピストン部材15とエアピストン部材16とを作動させ、内容液と空気をそれぞれシリンダ部17内で吸引、加圧してポンプ出側の合流空間で相互に混合させ、メッシュ部材等の泡生成部材20を通過させ、泡状にして吐出口26から外部に吐出させる。   A foam discharger 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is a pump former that is used by being attached to a so-called pump former container. As shown in FIG. This is equipped with a function of discharging the content liquid into a foam by mixing it with air. That is, the foam dispenser 10 is attached to a base cap portion 14 that is attached to the neck portion 12 of the container body 11, and includes a piston member 15 that performs suction, pressurization, and discharge of the content liquid, and air suction, pressurization, It has a pump 18 having a single cylinder part 17 in which air piston members 16 for discharging are arranged concentrically. The foam discharger 10 operates the piston member 15 and the air piston member 16 of the pump 18 by pushing the head portion 19 positioned above the base cap portion 14, and causes the content liquid and air to flow inside the cylinder portion 17. It sucks and pressurizes and mixes with each other in the confluence space on the outlet side of the pump, passes through the foam generating member 20 such as a mesh member, and is made to be foamed and discharged from the discharge port 26 to the outside.

また、本実施形態では、シリンダ部17は、容器本体11の口首部12の内側に配置される大径の空気室24及び小径の液導入室28からなる。空気室24には、シリンダ部17を成形する際の金型からの抜き易さ等から、上方に向けて内径が極僅かに拡がる内周面が形成される。空気室24は、空気室24の上端部に設けた嵌合凹部50をベースキャップ部14の天井部14aの内側面から下方に突出して設けた嵌合環状凸リブ51に嵌め込んで、ベースキャップ部14の内側に装着される。このため、シリンダ部17の空気室24は、嵌合凹部50の嵌合環状凸リブ51への嵌め込みによって内側に締め付けられ、その上端部の内径が僅かに狭められる。これによって、ヘッド部19の押圧操作で押圧が解除された際に、空気室24の内周面に沿って上下に摺動するエアピストン部材16が、ポンプフォーマー容器の製造後、使用前の初期の状態まで戻らない(上がりきらない)場合がある。空気室24の内周面にシリコン等の滑剤を塗布して空気室24の上端までのエアピストン部材16の移動をスムーズに行わせる工夫がなされるが、押圧操作の繰り返しによって滑剤が減少すること等により、押圧状態を開放してもエアピストン部材16が空気室24の上端(使用前の初期の状態)まで上がりきらなくなる場合がある。   In the present embodiment, the cylinder portion 17 includes a large-diameter air chamber 24 and a small-diameter liquid introduction chamber 28 that are disposed inside the mouth-neck portion 12 of the container body 11. In the air chamber 24, an inner peripheral surface whose inner diameter slightly expands upward is formed in order to facilitate removal from the mold when the cylinder portion 17 is formed. The air chamber 24 is fitted into a fitting annular convex rib 51 provided so as to protrude downward from the inner side surface of the ceiling portion 14a of the base cap portion 14 by fitting a fitting concave portion 50 provided in the upper end portion of the air chamber 24 into the base cap. Mounted inside the portion 14. For this reason, the air chamber 24 of the cylinder portion 17 is tightened inward by fitting the fitting concave portion 50 into the fitting annular convex rib 51, and the inner diameter of the upper end portion thereof is slightly narrowed. As a result, the air piston member 16 that slides up and down along the inner peripheral surface of the air chamber 24 when the pressure is released by the pressing operation of the head portion 19 is used after the pump former container is manufactured and before use. It may not return to the initial state. An effort is made to apply a lubricant such as silicon to the inner peripheral surface of the air chamber 24 so that the air piston member 16 moves smoothly to the upper end of the air chamber 24. However, the lubricant is reduced by repeated pressing operations. For example, the air piston member 16 may not be able to reach the upper end of the air chamber 24 (initial state before use) even if the pressing state is released.

本実施形態の泡吐出器10は、ヘッド部19の押圧操作が繰り返し行われて、ポンプフォーマー容器の製造後、使用前の初期の状態までシリンダ部17に対してエアピストン部材16が戻りきらなくなった場合でも、ヘッド部19の内部に水が浸入してシリンダ部17におけるエアピストン部材16の上方に相当量の水が滞留するのを回避できるようにするために採用されたものである。   In the foam discharger 10 according to this embodiment, the pressing operation of the head portion 19 is repeatedly performed, and after the pump former container is manufactured, the air piston member 16 returns to the cylinder portion 17 until the initial state before use. Even when it disappears, it is employed to prevent water from entering the inside of the head portion 19 and retaining a considerable amount of water above the air piston member 16 in the cylinder portion 17.

そして、本実施形態の泡吐出器10は、筒状のガイドステム23を天井部14aから立設させて容器本体11の口首部12に装着されるベースキャップ部14と、ガイドステム23に挿入される中空パイプ22と収容液を吐出する吐出口26を有し、且つガイドステム23の外周面との間に間隔を保持しつつ当該外周面に沿って押圧方向Xに往復動するスカート状カバー25を備えるヘッド部19と、容器本体11の内側に配置される空気室24及び液導入室28からなるシリンダ部17と、液導入室28の内周面を摺動するピストン部材15及びこのピストン部材15と連動して空気室24の内周面を摺動するエアピストン部材15とを備え、ヘッド部19の押圧により空気室24及び液導入室28から混合室13に空気と内容液を圧送して混合させ、混合室13から吐出口26に至る流路21に設けた泡生成部材20により泡として吐出させるようになっている。   The foam dispenser 10 according to the present embodiment is inserted into the guide stem 23 and the base cap portion 14 that is mounted on the mouth portion 12 of the container body 11 with the cylindrical guide stem 23 standing from the ceiling portion 14a. A skirt-like cover 25 having a hollow pipe 22 and a discharge port 26 for discharging the stored liquid, and reciprocating in the pressing direction X along the outer peripheral surface while maintaining a space between the outer periphery of the guide stem 23. A cylinder portion 17 comprising an air chamber 24 and a liquid introduction chamber 28 disposed inside the container body 11, a piston member 15 that slides on the inner peripheral surface of the liquid introduction chamber 28, and this piston member. 15 and an air piston member 15 that slides on the inner peripheral surface of the air chamber 24 in conjunction with the air chamber 15. By pressing the head portion 19, air and content liquid are pumped from the air chamber 24 and the liquid introduction chamber 28 to the mixing chamber 13. Mixed and, so that the ejected as a foam by the foam producing member 20 which is provided in the flow path 21 leading to the discharge port 26 from the mixing chamber 13.

また、ヘッド部19の押圧を解除して空気室24が負圧になった際に、ガイドステム23の外周面とスカート状カバー25との間に隙間を介して空気室24に外気がとり込まれる。一方、ガイドステム23の外周面とスカート状カバー25との間の隙間からエアピストン部材15の上方に至る外気取り込み経路には、対向する内側環状壁面52,55と外側環状壁面53、56との間に微小間隙部54、57を形成している。この微小間隙部54、57は、水を通過させない程度の隙間をもって形成されている。さらに、微小間隙部54,57は、ヘッド部19の押圧操作が繰り返されて、押圧が解除された際に、シリンダ部17に対してエアピストン部材15が初期の状態まで戻りきらなくなった場合でも、押圧方向Xにおける対向面の重なり幅bを確保できるように内側環状壁面52,55及び外側環状壁面53,56が形成されている(図2,図3参照)。   Further, when the pressure of the head portion 19 is released and the air chamber 24 becomes negative pressure, outside air is taken into the air chamber 24 through a gap between the outer peripheral surface of the guide stem 23 and the skirt-like cover 25. It is. On the other hand, in the outside air intake path from the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the guide stem 23 and the skirt-like cover 25 to the upper side of the air piston member 15, the inner annular wall surfaces 52, 55 and the outer annular wall surfaces 53, 56 facing each other. Minute gaps 54 and 57 are formed between them. The minute gaps 54 and 57 are formed with a gap that does not allow water to pass therethrough. Furthermore, the minute gap portions 54 and 57 are not affected even when the air piston member 15 cannot return to the initial state with respect to the cylinder portion 17 when the pressing operation of the head portion 19 is repeated and the pressing is released. The inner annular wall surfaces 52 and 55 and the outer annular wall surfaces 53 and 56 are formed so as to ensure the overlapping width b of the opposing surfaces in the pressing direction X (see FIGS. 2 and 3).

本実施形態の泡吐出器10では、ヘッド部19は、中空パイプ22の下端部に連結された筒状のピストン部材15を介在させて、シリンダ部17の液導入室28に設けられたスプリング部材29の作用によって上方に付勢されている。スプリング部材29の付勢力に抗してヘッド部19を下方に押し下げることにより、ポンプ18のピストン部材15及びエアピストン部材16が押し下げられると共に、液室30からの液圧によってボール弁31aが上方に移動し第1流路32が開放される。従って、ヘッド部19を押し下げることによって、筒状ピストン部材15の内部に形成された液室30から、内容液が中空パイプ22内の発泡流路21に向けて圧送され、排出される。また筒状のピストン部材15とエアピストン部材16との近接部分及び中空パイプ22と筒状ピストン部材15との連結部分に形成された空気流路としての第2流路33を、閉塞部36を開放することにより流通可能として、大径空気室24の空気を中空パイプ22内の発泡流路21に向けて圧送し、排出する。発泡流路21に向けて排出された収容液と空気は、混合室13において加圧混合され、混合室13の吐出口26の側に設けられた泡生成部材20を通過し、発泡した収容液がヘッド部19の吐出口26から吐出される。   In the foam discharger 10 of the present embodiment, the head portion 19 is a spring member provided in the liquid introduction chamber 28 of the cylinder portion 17 with a cylindrical piston member 15 connected to the lower end portion of the hollow pipe 22 interposed therebetween. 29 is biased upward by the action of 29. By pushing down the head portion 19 against the urging force of the spring member 29, the piston member 15 and the air piston member 16 of the pump 18 are pushed down, and the ball valve 31 a is moved upward by the liquid pressure from the liquid chamber 30. It moves and the 1st flow path 32 is open | released. Therefore, by pushing down the head portion 19, the liquid content is pumped from the liquid chamber 30 formed inside the cylindrical piston member 15 toward the foaming flow path 21 in the hollow pipe 22 and discharged. Further, the second flow path 33 as an air flow path formed in the proximity portion between the cylindrical piston member 15 and the air piston member 16 and the connection portion between the hollow pipe 22 and the cylindrical piston member 15 is replaced with the closing portion 36. The air in the large-diameter air chamber 24 is pumped toward the foaming flow path 21 in the hollow pipe 22 and discharged so that it can be circulated by opening. The stored liquid and air discharged toward the foaming flow path 21 are pressure-mixed in the mixing chamber 13, pass through the foam generating member 20 provided on the discharge port 26 side of the mixing chamber 13, and foamed stored liquid. Is discharged from the discharge port 26 of the head portion 19.

一方、ヘッド部19の押圧を解除すれば、スプリング部材29の付勢力によってヘッド部19が上方に押し戻され、ピストン部材15及びエアピストン部材16が連動して押し戻されると共に、ボール弁31aが下方に引き寄せられ、第1流路32が閉塞して内容液の排出が遮断される。また、ボール弁31aの閉塞によってピストン部材15の内部の液室30が負圧になるので、ポペット弁31bが上方に移動することにより導入流路が開放されて、容器本体11内の収容液が吸引管27及び液導入室28を介して液室30に吸引供給される。さらに、エアピストン部材16の上昇により、空気室24が負圧になって吸引力を生じ、この吸引力によって、エアピストン部材16に設けられた逆止弁35が開放され、エアピストン部材16に形成された連通路34を介して、中空パイプ22とガイドステム23との間の空間を通過した外気が空気室24に取り込まれる。さらにまた、ヘッド部19の上昇に伴うピストン部材15とエアピストン部材16の上昇により、閉塞部36が閉塞されて、第2流路33を介した空気の流通が略遮断される。   On the other hand, when the pressing of the head portion 19 is released, the head portion 19 is pushed back upward by the biasing force of the spring member 29, the piston member 15 and the air piston member 16 are pushed back together, and the ball valve 31a is lowered downward. As a result, the first flow path 32 is closed and the discharge of the content liquid is blocked. Further, since the liquid chamber 30 inside the piston member 15 becomes negative pressure due to the blockage of the ball valve 31a, the introduction channel is opened by the movement of the poppet valve 31b upward, and the liquid stored in the container body 11 is stored. The liquid is sucked and supplied to the liquid chamber 30 through the suction pipe 27 and the liquid introduction chamber 28. Further, as the air piston member 16 rises, the air chamber 24 becomes negative pressure and a suction force is generated.
