As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when the first cap portion 22, the second cap portion 23, and the third cap portion 24 are all in the closed position, the container main body 10 is in a state sealed by the discharge cap 20.

  Hereinafter, a method of using the discharge container 1 having the above configuration will be described. The container 1 can discharge the content liquid by selecting any one of a liquid form, a mist form, and a foam form. FIGS. 3 and 4 show a case where the content liquid is discharged in a liquid form. 5 shows a case where the content liquid is discharged in a mist state, and FIG. 6 shows a case where the content liquid is discharged in a foam state.

  When the content liquid is discharged in a liquid state, as shown in FIG. 3, the first cap portion 22 is opened and the container 1 is in an inverted posture. By setting the container 1 in the inverted posture, the air in the storage space S moves to the bottom 14 side, and the content liquid moves to the mouth 11 side. In this embodiment, the first valve element 34 is provided, and the content liquid passage is relatively narrow when the on-off valve portion 34b is closed. They are not ejected. When the body portion 13 is pressed, the body portion 13 is elastically deformed and the accommodation space S is compressed, and the air in the accommodation space S collected near the bottom portion 14 is released from the tube member 36, the connection member 35, and the passage forming member 30. It passes through the inside of the side wall portion 31, passes through the hole 32a, and moves to the through hole 34c.

Move toward 34c. At this time, the opening / closing valve portion 34b of the first valve body 34 opens as shown in FIG. 4 due to the pressure of the liquid moving through the content liquid passage. Since the opening / closing valve portion 34b of the first valve body 34 is opened, the content liquid passage between the top wall portion 32 and the opening / closing valve portion 34b is expanded, so that the opening / closing valve portion 34b is closed. Also, the flow rate of the content liquid increases, and as a result, the content liquid is discharged in a liquid state. That is, when discharging the content liquid with the first cap portion 22 opened, the through hole 34c functions as a liquid discharge port. When discharging the content liquid with the first cap portion 22 in the open position, the content liquid can be dripped little by little by reducing the pressing force of the body portion 13.

  Here, a slit extending radially outward from the through hole 34c may be formed in the annular on-off valve portion 34b. By providing such a slit, the opening / closing valve portion 34b is easily opened, so that the discharge amount can be increased, and the content liquid flows out from the gap of the opened slit. The discharge amount can be adjusted by changing the length or the number of slits.

  When the pressing of the body 13 is released after the liquid content has been discharged, the shape of the body 13 is restored while taking in outside air from the through hole 34c. In the present embodiment, when the body 13 is restored, the elastic piece 39b of the intake valve body 39 is opened, and the outside air is also taken in from the intake hole 38. Thereby, the time required until the trunk | drum 13 restores can be shortened. When discharging the content liquid, the elastic piece 39b of the intake valve body 39 is in a closed state, so that the liquid does not leak from the intake hole 38. When the body 13 is restored, the on-off valve portion 34b returns to the closed state.

  Here, in the present embodiment, a base protruding piece 26a is provided as an engagement holding portion that protrudes radially outward from the mounting cylinder 26 of the base portion 21. In addition, a second protruding piece 45a is provided as an engagement holding portion that protrudes radially outward from the second side wall 45 of the second cap portion 23. As shown in FIG. 3, by engaging the base projection 26a with the second projection 45a, the first cap 22 can be engaged and held in the open position. Thus, it is possible to prevent a problem that the opened first cap portion 22 is closed when the content liquid is discharged, and the discharge of the content liquid is hindered. The second protrusion 45a of the present embodiment is disposed on the opposite side of the second hinge 44 with respect to the center axis C, and also has a function of easily opening and closing the second cap portion 23. That is, by putting a finger on the second protruding piece 45a, opening and closing of the second cap portion 23 becomes easy.

  When discharging the content liquid in a mist state, as shown in FIG. 5, the first cap portion 22 is set to the closed position, the second cap portion 23 is set to the open position, and the container 1 is set in the inverted posture. When the body 13 is pressed in this state, the air in the housing space S passes through the inside of the tube member 36, the connecting member 35, and the side wall 31 of the passage forming member 30, passes through the hole 32a, and passes through the hole 32c. And move. At the same time, the content liquid in the storage space S passes through the content liquid passage formed by the vertical groove 31a formed on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall portion 31 and the horizontal groove 32b communicating with the vertical groove 31a. Move toward 34c. At this time, since the upward / downward displacement of the opening / closing valve portion 34b of the first valve body 34 is regulated by the valve body regulating portion 43b, the flow rate of the content liquid is smaller than in the state where the opening / closing valve portion 34b is open. . By supplying the content liquid little by little to the through hole 34c through the content liquid passage in this manner, the content liquid mixed with the air flowing through the air passage toward the through hole 34c becomes mist-like, and the mist-like discharge port 43a From the mist. As described above, in the present embodiment, the shape and number of the content liquid passages formed by the vertical grooves 31a and the horizontal grooves 32b are not particularly limited, and can be appropriately set according to a desired mist quality.
