  The discharge body 41 has a discharge cylinder 42 that forms a part of the discharge path F <b> 2, and a comb body 41 is formed at the upper end of the discharge cylinder 42. In this embodiment, a pour-out passage 46 and a discharge passage 47 are formed in the comb teeth 44. The comb body 41 of this embodiment is constructed by assembling the comb-teeth pieces 44 arranged in an arrangement to the discharge cylinder 42 as separate members.

  Next, an example of a usage mode in a state where these members are assembled will be described. When assembling, if the push plate piece 24 is in an upright state, the upper end portion of the push button 22 can be easily protruded from the window hole 36.

  In the assembled state, the upper end portion of the dispensing tube 13 and the lower end portion of the discharge tube 42 of the discharge body 41 are closely connected via the fitting tube 37 of the base body 32 so as to be relatively movable in the vertical direction. The upper end of the outlet cylinder 13 is slidably fitted into the lower end of the fitting cylinder 37, so that the upper end of the outlet cylinder 13 and the discharge part 31 are assembled so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. Thus, communication in a liquid-tight state between the dispensing path F1 and the discharge path F2 is achieved.

  When the push plate piece 24 of the push button 22 is laid sideways (see FIG. 1), when the push plate piece 24 is pushed down with a fingertip, the push plate piece 24 is a force point, the fulcrum hinge 28 is a fulcrum, and the pressing cylinder piece. 27 by means of a lever-like mechanism having a contact point of the action protrusion 16 projecting from the lower end surface of the push-down body 12 and the bottom wall of the push-down body 12 (see FIGS. 2 and 3), The entire push-down body 12 is lowered, the pouring nozzle 3 is further lowered through the stepped hole 13c, and the content liquid is ejected into the pouring cylinder 13. At this time, the upper dispensing cylinder 13a fitted into the fitting cylinder 37 of the base body 32 moves down in the fitting cylinder 37 while sliding in a liquid-tight state.

  Here, the width of the pressing plate piece 24 can be made sufficiently wide corresponding to the long side of the rectangle, and if the standing height is made sufficiently high, a sufficient range of finger hold in the state of lying down can be secured. The push button can be pushed down easily. For comparison, FIG. 4 shows an example of a container without the push plate piece 24 in the container of FIG.

  The content liquid ejected into the dispensing cylinder 13 flows in the dispensing path F1 and the ejection path F2 in the ejection cylinder 42, passes through the ejection port 45, the dispensing narrow path 46, and the ejection narrow path 47, and reaches the comb teeth piece 44. It is discharged in the middle.

  If the pressure on the pressing plate piece 24 by the fingertip is released, the push-down body 12 and the operating body 21 are raised and returned to their original positions by the repulsive force of the dispensing nozzle 3.

  In the present embodiment, in order to secure the region where the push button 22 is disposed, the example in which the dispensing cylinder 13 is slightly shifted from the axis of the bottom wall as described above, that is, decentered is shown. In the container of the invention, the button main body 23 can be made small or flat without impairing the operability of pushing down, so that the amount of eccentricity can be further reduced or the eccentricity can be eliminated. The degree of freedom of design related to the arrangement position, shape, etc. of 43 can be increased.
