The aerosol container body 2 is opened by pushing down a discharge pipe 5 projecting from the center of the upper surface of the cylindrical body 4, so that the stored liquid is discharged from the upper end opening of the discharge pipe by the action of the built-in discharge mechanism. A well-known mechanism of a push-down valve type can be adopted. In this embodiment, a circular ridge 6 is erected around the discharge pipe 5 on the upper surface of the body 4.

The nozzle member 3 is integrally formed of a synthetic resin. The nozzle member 3 covers the peripheral edge of the upper surface of the container body 2 and fits and fixes the cylindrical shoulder cover 7. Nozzle 8 connected to the nozzle and raised in the center
Is fitted to the discharge pipe 5, and a push button 9 is protruded around the nozzle.

In the illustrated example, the shoulder cover 7 is fitted so that an engaging ridge 10 projecting from the lower portion of the inner periphery is engaged with the lower portion of the outer peripheral surface of the ridge 6 to prevent it from slipping upward. It has a cylindrical shape, and a plurality of locking ribs in the circumferential direction are provided on the upper inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall.
It is composed of 11 protruding parts.

The ejection nozzle 8 has a cylindrical shape, and is formed in a fan-shaped base plate in which the center of the front part is swingably connected to the front part of the upper end of the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall of the shoulder cover via a thin connecting piece 12. The lower front surface is integrally connected to the rear edge of the thirteen, and the lower end opening is fitted in a liquid-tight manner to the upper end of the outer periphery of the injection pipe 5.

The push button 9 is formed in a deformed cylindrical shape having a lower end opening integrally formed at the rear of the lower portion of the ejection nozzle 8. The lower end of the front surface is integrally connected to both sides of the rear surface of the substrate 13. Are integrally connected to the lower portion of the rear surface of the nozzle, and a plurality of ridges for preventing slippage are provided on the upper surface.

In the present invention, the push button 9 and the shoulder cover 7
A sound output mechanism A including an elastic sound output plate 14 and a projecting piece 15 is provided, and is configured such that the sound output plate 14 gets over the projecting piece 15 and emits a sound when the push button 9 is pressed down to eject the liquid. doing.

In the illustrated example, a rectangular elastic sound emitting plate 14 projects rearward from the lower end of the rear surface of the push button 9, and the elastic sound emitting plate 14 projects from the upper portion of the inner surface of the shoulder wall of the shoulder cover 7.

When using the container 1 constructed as described above, for example, by pushing down a push button 9, the discharge pipe 5 is pushed downward, and the liquid ejected from the tip of the discharge pipe 5 causes the nozzle 8 to move. It is ejected to the outside through. At this time, since the sounding plate 14 makes a sound by riding over the protruding piece 15, it is configured such that the ejection of the liquid can be clearly confirmed. Further, when the pressing of the push button 9 is released, the ejection nozzle 8 is pushed up by the upward biasing force of the injection pipe 5, and accordingly the push button 9 also returns to the upper original position. Since the sound 14 passes through the projecting piece 15 and emits a sound, the stop of the ejection of the liquid can be clearly confirmed.
