Abstract

A discharge device including a pump disposed to a container body in which contents are stored and which includes a discharge head provided with a discharge hole formed therein; a mounting cap; a support portion; and a press-down member. By rotating the press-down member, the discharge head is moved downward and the contents are discharged from the discharge hole. The discharge device includes a stopper which is movable between a restricted position where the downward movement of the discharge head is restricted and a non-restricted position where the downward movement of the discharge head is allowed.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A discharge device comprising:
a pump disposed in a mouth portion of a container body, in which contents are stored, to be movable downward in a state where an upward force is applied to the pump, the pump including a discharge head provided with a discharge hole opening forward;
a mounting cap mounting the pump on the mouth portion of the container body;
a support portion standing up on a rear portion of the mounting cap; and
a press-down member disposed at the support portion to be rotatable around a rotating axis and configured to press the discharge head down,
wherein by rotating the press-down member downward around the rotating axis, the discharge head is moved downward and the contents are discharged from the discharge hole,
wherein the discharge device comprises:
a stopper which is movable between a restricted position where downward movement of the discharge head is restricted and a non-restricted position where the downward movement of the discharge head is allowed;
wherein the discharge head includes:
a stem disposed to be movable downward in a state where an upward force is applied to the stem;
a mounting tube portion mounted on an upper end of the stem;
a nozzle tube portion protruding forward from the mounting tube portion and provided with the discharge hole formed in a front end of the nozzle tube portion;
a first locked portion protruding rearward from the mounting tube portion, and
a pair of second locked portions protruding from the mounting tube portion toward both sides in a left and right direction orthogonal to a forward and rear direction and to a vertical direction,

wherein the press-down member has a pair of engaging portions configured to engage with the pair of the second locked portions from an upper side and to press the discharge head down via the second locked portion,
wherein the stopper has a first restricting portion and a second restricting portion,
wherein the first restricting portion is disposed to be into contact with or to be separated from and contactable with the first locked portion on a lower side of the first locked portion when the stopper is located at the restricted position and is disposed to be apart from the first locked portion when the stopper is located at the non-restricted position, and
the second restricting portion is disposed to be into contact with or to be separated from and contactable with the pair of the second locked portions on a lower side of the second locked portions when the stopper is located at the restricted position and is disposed to be apart from the second locked portions when the stopper is located at the non-restricted position.

2. A discharge device comprising:
a pump disposed in a mouth portion of a container body, in which contents are stored, to be movable downward in a state where an upward force is applied to the pump, the pump including a discharge head provided with a discharge hole opening forward;
a mounting cap mounting the pump on the mouth portion of the container body;
a support portion standing up on a rear portion of the mounting cap; and
a press-down member disposed at the support portion to be rotatable around a rotating axis and configured to press the discharge head down,
wherein by rotating the press-down member downward around the rotating axis, the discharge head is moved downward and the contents are discharged from the discharge hole,
wherein the discharge device comprises:
a stopper which is movable between a restricted position where downward movement of the discharge head is restricted and a non-restricted position where the downward movement of the discharge head is allowed;
wherein the discharge head includes:
a stem disposed to be movable downward in a state where an upward force is applied to the stem;
a mounting tube portion mounted on an upper end of the stem;
a nozzle tube portion protruding forward from the mounting tube portion and provided with the discharge hole formed in a front end of the nozzle tube portion;
a first locked portion protruding rearward from the mounting tube portion, and
a pair of second locked portions protruding from the mounting tube portion toward both sides in a left and right direction orthogonal to a forward and rear direction and to a vertical direction,

wherein the press-down member has a pair of engaging portions configured to engage with the pair of the second locked portions from an upper side and to press the discharge head down via the second locked portion,
wherein the stopper has a first restricting portion and a second restricting portion,
wherein the first restricting portion is disposed to be into contact with or to be separated from and contactable with the first locked portion on a lower side of the first locked portion when the stopper is located at the restricted position and is disposed to be apart from the first locked portion when the stopper is located at the non-restricted position, and
the second restricting portion is disposed to be into contact with or to be separated from and contactable with the pair of the second locked portions on a lower side of the second locked portions when the stopper is located at the restricted position and is disposed to be apart from the second locked portions when the stopper is located at the non-restricted position, and
wherein each one of the second locked portions has a flat surface configured to face an upper end of the second restricting portion when the stopper is located at the restricted position.
