• (b) a hand-operated pump mounted inside the main body to pump content out of the container through up-and-down movement of a button;
• (c) the button having a hollow structure mounted on top of the hand-operated pump such that the button communicates with the hand-operated pump, the button including a vertical channel communicating with the hand-operated pump and a horizontal channel extending from the vertical channel;
• (d) a spray nozzle mounted in the horizontal channel in the button;
• (e) a trigger having one side at which a front end portion of the button including the spray nozzle is exposed and an opposite side that is rotatably coupled to the main body such that the trigger presses the button downward when a handle of the trigger is pulled and the trigger returns to an original position when the handle is released;
• and
• (f) a locking device provided at a rotational coupling portion of the trigger and the main body, the locking device enabling or disabling operation of the trigger with respect to the main body as needed;
• wherein an inner rib extending downward is formed on the trigger at a front portion of the rotational coupling portion, a protruding portion extending upward is formed inside the main body at a position corresponding to the inner rib, the inner rib and the protruding portion are spaced apart from each other so as to form a gap therebetween, the gap allowing rotation of the trigger with respect to the main body when the handle of the trigger is pulled, and a front end portion of the locking device is inserted into the gap between the inner rib and the protruding portion when the trigger is in a locked state.
