Liquid-discharging container

A liquid-agent dispensing container, comprising:

• a container body that stores a liquid agent;
• a mounting portion that is mounted on the container body;
• a head portion that is held by the mounting portion so as to be able to move in a top-bottom direction with respect to the mounting portion, and allows the liquid agent to pass through the head portion with the head portion being pushed down relatively to the mounting portion;
• a dispensing outlet that discharges the liquid agent that has passed through the head portion;
• a swing portion that is pivotally supported at a pivotally supporting portion in a manner swingable in a direction having a downward component relatively to the mounting portion and a direction opposite to this direction, and has a force application portion that receives a pushing-down force;
• an operating portion that is pushed down relatively to the mounting portion, and has a pushing-down portion that pushes down the force application portion when the operating portion is pushed down;
• an acting portion that is located between the force application portion and the pivotally supporting portion, and transfers a pushing-down force from the swing portion to the head portion when the swing portion swings in the direction having the downward component with the force application portion being pushed down;
• and
• a guide mechanism that guides a relative movement of the operating portion with respect to the head portion while maintaining a posture of the operating portion when the operating portion is pushed down, wherein
• the guide mechanism includes a guiding portion that the head portion has, and a guided portion that the operating portion has, the guided portion being guided by the guiding portion.

A liquid-agent dispensing cap including a mounting portion that is mounted on a container body that stores a liquid agent, the liquid-agent dispensing cap comprising:

• a head portion that is held by the mounting portion movably with respect to the mounting portion in one direction and a direction opposite to the one direction, and allows the liquid agent to pass through the head portion with the head portion being pressed in the one direction relatively to the mounting portion;
• a dispensing outlet that discharges the liquid agent that has passed through the head portion;
• a swing portion that is pivotally supported at a pivotally supporting portion in a swingable manner relatively to the mounting portion in a direction having a component of the one direction and a direction opposite to this direction, and has a force application portion that receives a pressing force;
• an operating portion that is pressed relatively to the mounting portion with an operation made by a user, and has a pressing portion that presses the force application portion when the operating portion is pressed;
• an acting portion that is located between the force application portion and the pivotally supporting portion, and transfers a pressing force from the swing portion to the head portion when the swing portion swings in the direction having the component of the one direction with the force application portion being pressed;
• and
• a guide mechanism that guides a relative movement of the operating portion with respect to the head portion while maintaining a posture of the operating portion when the operating portion is pressed, wherein
• at least a part of the head portion is covered with the operating portion when the liquid-agent dispensing cap is viewed in the one direction.

An attachment for a liquid-agent dispenser used by being mounted on a liquid-agent dispensing cap including:

• a mounting portion that is mounted on a container body that stores a liquid agent;
• a head portion that is held by the mounting portion movably with respect to the mounting portion in one direction and a direction opposite to the one direction, and allows the liquid agent to pass through the head portion with the head portion being pressed in the one direction relatively to the mounting portion;
• and a dispensing outlet that discharges the liquid agent that has passed through the head portion, the attachment for a liquid-agent dispenser comprising:
• a second mounting portion that is mounted on the mounting portion;
• a swing portion that is pivotally supported at a pivotally supporting portion in a swingable manner relatively to the second mounting portion in a direction having a component of the one direction and a direction opposite to this direction, and has a force application portion that receives a pressing force;
• an operating portion that is pressed relatively to the second mounting portion with an operation made by a user, and has a pressing portion that presses the force application portion when the operating portion is pressed;
• a head cover portion that is mounted on the head portion in a state where a movement thereof to the one direction relatively to the head portion is restricted;
• an acting portion that is located between the force application portion and the pivotally supporting portion, and transfers a pressing force from the swing portion to the head cover portion when the swing portion swings in the direction having the component of the one direction with the force application portion being pressed;
• a guide mechanism that guides a relative movement of the operating portion with respect to the head cover portion while maintaining a posture of the operating portion when the operating portion is pressed, wherein
• at least a part of the head portion is covered with the operating portion when the attachment for a liquid-agent dispenser is viewed in the one direction.
