Further, according to the mixing container 2 and the discharge container 1 including the same in the present embodiment, the mounting member 12 to which the cartridge body 13 in which the auxiliary agent is accommodated is attached to the container main body 11 in which the main agent is accommodated. Since the mounting member 12 and the container main body 11 are separated, there is no restriction on the filling process of the main agent and the auxiliary agent, such as the order of filling the main agent and the auxiliary agent. And since an auxiliary agent can be changed by replacing | exchanging the mounting member 12 for another according to the objective, the handleability of the mixing container 2 improves. Further, since the cartridge body 13 is detachable from the mounting member 12, the auxiliary agent can be changed by exchanging the cartridge body 13 with another one, and the handling property of the mixing container 2 is further improved.
Moreover, since the contents can be discharged to the outside through the push-down cylinder portion 28 after mixing the main agent and the auxiliary agent, the configuration of the mixing container 2 can be further simplified. And since the pressing cylinder part 28 and the engaging part 36A can be made to oppose in the up-down direction by inserting the pressing cylinder part 28 in the insertion hole 13A of the cartridge body 13, the assembly of the mounting member 12 becomes easier. .
