Abstract

PURPOSE: To sufficiently smoothly and surely supply a powder detergent by rotatably housing and disposing a detergent send-out member formed in a coil shape in a detergent send-out part and freely loosely movably disposing a bar- shaped member in the detergent sent-out member. CONSTITUTION: The bar-shaped member 22 is present in the detergent send-out member 21 and it is loosely moved in the detergent send-out member 21 at the time of the rotation of the detergent send-out member 21. When the lump of the powder detergent 32 intruding in the detergent send-out member 21 or the sticking of the powder detergent 32 or the like is present, since it is destroyed or separated from a stuck part by the loosely moved bar-shaped member 22 and added to the powder detergent 32 sent out by the rotation of the detergent send-out member 21, the powder detergent 32 is further smoothly and surely supplied. Also, the bar-shaped member 22 disposed in the detergent send-out member 21 is also provided with a function for appropriately narrowing the powder detergent 32 passing through the detergent send-out member 21 and thus, it is suited to the supply of the powder detergent 32 for which the use of a small amount is sufficient matched with the difference of the density for instance of the powder detergent 32.
