The first rib 32 is provided so as to cover the side of the through hole 41 for water injection in a state where the liquid container 23 has been pulled out from the accommodating portion 21.

Thereby, in a state where the liquid container 23 has been pulled out from the accommodating portion 21, the first rib 32 suppresses the water poured from the water-filling through hole 41 from flowing out to the side of the liquid container lid 31.

Therefore, it is possible to suppress water leakage from the liquid agent container 23 with a simple structure.

As in this embodiment, the first rib 32 is formed in the pull-out direction of the liquid container 23 and may extend toward the opening 35.

Thereby, in a state where the liquid agent container 23 has been pulled out from the accommodating portion, the first rib 32 can guide the water poured into the liquid agent container lid to the opening 35.

Therefore, it is possible to suppress water leakage from the liquid agent container 23 with a simple structure.

As in this embodiment, as a part of the water injection portion, the second rib 42 formed to cover at least the lateral side may be included.

With this configuration, the second rib 42 suppresses the outflow of the water injected from the water injection through hole 41 to the side, and can guide the water to fall inside the first rib 32.

Therefore, it is possible to suppress water leakage from the liquid agent container 23 with a simple structure.

As in the present embodiment, the lower end of the second rib 42 may be formed to extend below the upper end of the first rib 32, and may be provided to be located inwardly of the upper end of the first rib 32.
