Abstract
A dispenser, which has a pump chamber formed by a body including a depression, and a lid body covering an opening of the body, where a liquid in the pump chamber is discharged from a nozzle portion by performing a discharge operation that presses the lid body to an inside of the pump chamber to deform the lid body, and a liquid is caused to flow into the pump chamber by releasing the discharge operation. The dispenser includes a pressing support portion disposed to face away from a top surface of the lid body, and a discharge operation is performed by pinching a top portion of the lid body and the pressing support portion with fingers from lateral sides of the body.
Claims15
A dispenser, comprising:
- a pump chamber is formed by a body including a depression and a lid body covering an opening of the body, wherein a first liquid in the pump chamber is discharged from a nozzle portion by performance of a discharge operation that presses the lid body into an inside of the pump chamber to deform the lid body and a second liquid is caused to flow into the pump chamber by release of the discharge operation;
- a suction passage having an open end that opens toward the pump chamber;
- and
- a pressing support portion that is disposed to face away from a top surface of the lid body, wherein
- the discharge operation is performed by pinching the top surface of the lid body and the pressing support portion from lateral sides of the body,
- wherein the suction passage extends along a direction orthogonal to a discharge operation direction of the lid body,
- the lid body is formed of a material that is elastically deformable,
- when the lid body is pressed in the discharge operation, the lid body bends into the pump chamber,
- wherein a part of the lid body is deformable toward the inside of the pump chamber such that, at an inside of the depression, a part of the lid body overlaps with a part of the open end of the suction passage, after the discharge operation is performed, when the open end of the suction passage is viewed from a front direction.
