[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a discharge container according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. [First embodiment] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a dispensing container 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The discharge container 10 includes a cylindrical container body 11 with a bottom, a lid portion 12 attached to the upper end of the container body 11 , and a cap 13 attached to the lid portion 12 . The content L of the discharge container 10 is a highly viscous liquid such as, for example, cosmetic cream or liquid foundation.

[0010] The container body 11 integrally comprises a bottom wall 14 which is substantially circular when viewed from above, a cylindrical body portion 15 which extends upward from the periphery of the bottom wall 14, and a cylindrical lower cover portion 16 which extends downward from the periphery of the bottom wall 14. In FIG. 1, the discharge container 10 is shown in an upright position in which the discharge container 10 is placed upright so that the axis 15a of the body 15 is oriented in the vertical direction.

[0011] The body 15 is a cylinder that extends vertically in a straight line. The inside diameter of the body 15 is the same from the lower end 15f to the upper end 15b of the body 15, and the inner peripheral surface 15c of the body 15 is flat from the lower end 15f to the upper end 15b of the body 15. The upper surface of the body 15 is formed with a circular opening 15d defined by the upper end 15b. An outer engagement portion 15e is provided on the outer periphery of the upper end portion of the body portion 15, with which the lid portion 12 engages. The outer engagement portion 15e is a male thread portion formed on the outer periphery of the body portion 15.

[0012] Bottom wall 14 is recessed downward relative to lower end 15f of body portion 15. In detail, bottom wall 14 includes tapered portion 14a whose inner diameter decreases from lower end 15f of body portion 15 downward, and recessed portion 14b in the center of bottom wall 14 recessed downward from the lower end of tapered portion 14a.

[0013] The lower cover part 16 is cylindrical and extends continuously from the trunk part 15 to the lower end of the container body 11. The lower cover part 16 covers the tapered part 14a and the recessed part 14b from the periphery. A lower end 16a of the lower cover portion 16 protrudes slightly downward from the lower end of the recess 14b. Therefore, when the discharge container 10 is placed on a flat surface, the lower end 16a comes into contact with the flat surface.

[0014] The lid portion 12 is provided separately from the body portion 15 and is attached to the body portion 15. The lid portion 12 comprises a body cap 17 attached to the body 15, a discharge portion 22 attached to the body cap 17, and a plate-shaped spatula portion 30 extending within the body 15 in the axial direction of the axis 15a of the body 15. The body cap 17 comprises a shoulder 20 extending radially inward from the upper end 15b of the body 15, a cylindrical mouth 21 extending upward from the shoulder 20, a cylindrical peripheral wall 23 extending downward from the outer periphery of the shoulder 20, and a cylindrical rib 24 extending downward from the shoulder 20 inside the peripheral wall 23.

[0015] The shoulder portion 20 is an upper wall that covers a part of the opening 15d of the body portion 15 from above. The mouth portion 21 is a cylinder with a smaller diameter than the body portion 15, and extends upward from the center of the shoulder portion 20. The mouth portion 21 is disposed coaxially with the body portion 15, and is located on the axis 15a. A discharge portion engaging portion 21a to which the discharge portion 22 is attached is provided on the outer periphery of the mouth portion 21. The discharge portion engaging portion 21a is a male thread portion.

[0016] The peripheral wall 23 of the cover 12 is cylindrical and has a larger diameter than the body 15, and covers the upper end of the body 15 from the outside. An inner engagement portion 23a that engages with the outer engagement portion 15e of the body 15 is provided on the inner periphery of the peripheral wall 23. The inner engagement portion 23a is a female thread portion.

[0017] The rib 24 is a cylinder having a smaller diameter than the body portion 15. The lower end of the rib 24 is located above the lower end 23b of the peripheral wall portion 23. The body portion 15, the peripheral wall portion 23, and the rib 24 are arranged in a coaxial positional relationship.

[0018] The discharge part 22 sucks up the content L in the discharge container 10 and discharges it to the outside. The discharge portion 22 includes a pump 25 disposed inside the mouth portion 21 , a push-down head 26 that is pushed down, a tube 27 that extends downward from the pump 25 , and an attachment cap 28 that is attached to the mouth portion 21 .

[0019] The pump 25 comprises a cylindrical cylinder 25a, a piston (not shown) housed within the cylinder 25a so as to be vertically movable, a stem 25b extending upward from the cylinder 25a, a flange portion 25c extending radially outward from the upper portion of the cylinder 25a, and a biasing member (not shown) that biases the stem 25b upward. The push-down head 26 is connected to the upper end of the stem 25b. A discharge port 26a for discharging the contents L to the outside is provided on the side surface of the push-down head 26. The discharge port 26a is connected to the inside of the pump 25.

[0020] A tube holding portion 25d having a diameter larger than that of the tube 27 is provided at the lower end of the cylinder 25a. The tube 27 is connected to the tube holding portion 25d by fitting the upper end of the tube 27 into a hole of the tube holding portion 25d from below. The tube 27 extends straight downward from the tube holding portion 25d. The pump 25 and the tube 27 are disposed on the axis 15a and are located at the center of the body 15.

[0021] The mounting cap 28 comprises a cylindrical side wall portion 28a that surrounds the mouth portion 21, an upper wall portion 28b that extends radially inward from the upper end of the side wall portion 28a, a hole 28c that penetrates vertically through the center of the upper wall portion 28b, and a tubular portion 28d that extends upward from the peripheral edge of the upper wall portion 28b. An engagement portion 28e is provided on the inner periphery of the side wall portion 28a. The engagement portion 28e is a female thread portion.

[0022] The upper part of cylinder 25a engages with hole 28c of mounting cap 28 to form an assembly in which discharge part 22 and mounting cap 28 are assembled. In this assembly, tube 27 and pump 25 are inserted into mouth part 21 from above, and flange part 25c is received by the upper surface of mouth part 21. The mounting cap 28 is attached to the mouth portion 21 by screwing the engagement portion 28e into the discharge portion engagement portion 21a. When the mounting cap 28 is screwed onto the mouth portion 21, the upper wall portion 28b presses the flange portion 25c against the upper surface of the mouth portion 21, fixing the pump 25 to the mouth portion 21. The upper end portion of the pump 25 protrudes upward through the hole 28c. The cylindrical portion 28d covers the upper portion of the pump 25 and the stem 25b from all sides.

[0023] When the depression head 26 is pressed down, the piston descends and the pressure inside the cylinder 25a increases, and this pressure causes the contents L to be discharged from the discharge port 26a. When the pressing head 26 returns upward due to the biasing force of the biasing member, the piston rises and negative pressure is created inside the cylinder 25a. Due to this negative pressure, the content L in the container body 11 is sucked up from the lower end 27a of the tube 27 and sent to the cylinder 25a.

[0024] The cap 13 engages with the outer periphery of the side wall portion 28a of the mounting cap 28, covering the mounting cap 28 and the press-down head 26 from the periphery and also covering the press-down head 26 from above.

[0025] The lid portion 12 is attached to the body portion 15 by screwing the inner engagement portion 23a of the peripheral wall portion 23 into the outer engagement portion 15e of the body portion 15. When the lid 12 is attached to the body 15, the upper end 15b of the body 15 abuts against the lower surface of the shoulder 20. The outer peripheral surface of the rib 24 abuts against the inner peripheral wall surface of the outer engagement portion 15e of the body 15.

[0026] The spatula portion 30 of the lid portion 12 is formed integrally with the tube 27 on the outer periphery of the tube 27 . FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II-II of FIG. The spatula portion 30 extends radially outward from the outer periphery of the cylindrical tube 27. The spatula portion 30 is formed in a tapered shape that tapers from the outer periphery of the tube 27 toward the tip of the spatula portion 30. The tip 30a of the spatula portion 30 extends vertically over the entire length of the spatula portion 30, parallel to the inner circumferential surface 15c of the body portion 15 (FIG. 1).

[0027] Spatula portion 30 includes a main body portion 30b extending from lower end 27a of tube 27 to near the lower end of tube holding portion 25d, and an upward extension portion 30c extending upward from the upper end of main body portion 30b to a height position overlapping tube holding portion 25d. The upward extension portion 30c extends upward along the outer circumferential surface of the tube holding portion 25d.

[0028] Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the lid portion 12 has been removed from the body portion 15. In Fig. 3, the cap 13 has been removed. In Fig. 3, most of the contents L have been consumed, but some remain attached to the inner circumferential surface 15c of the body portion 15. Here, an example of a method of using the spatula part 30 of the lid part 12 will be described. The lid portion 12 is detachably attached to the body portion 15 by screwing the inner engagement portion 23a and the outer engagement portion 15e together. In the state shown in FIG. 1, when the lid portion 12 is rotated about the axis 15a in the direction to release the above-mentioned screw engagement, the lid portion 12 is removed from the body portion 15 and separated from the body portion 15 as shown in FIG. For example, the user holds the lid portion 12 by grasping the attachment cap 28, places the tip 30a of the spatula portion 30 against the inner circumferential surface 15c of the body portion 15, and uses the spatula portion 30 to scrape off the contents L adhering to the inner circumferential surface 15c.

[0029] In the discharge container 10, the lid 12 having the shoulder 20 and the mouth 21 can be removed from the body 15, so that when the lid 12 is removed, the entire opening 15d on the top surface of the body 15 is exposed upward. Therefore, the spatula 30 can be inserted into the body 15 from the large opening 15d, and the contents L can be easily scraped off by the spatula 30.

[0030] Further, the distance S from the lower end 23b of the peripheral wall 23 to the lower end 30e of the spatula 30 is greater than the distance D from the upper end 15b of the body 15 to the upper end 14c of the bottom wall 14. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 3, when the spatula 30 is inserted until the lower end 30e is positioned at the upper end 14c of the bottom wall 14, a gap is secured in the vertical direction between the lower end 23b of the peripheral wall 23 and the upper end 15b of the body 15. This prevents the lower end 23b of the peripheral wall 23 from hitting the upper end 15b of the body 15 when the spatula 30 is used to scrape off the contents L on the inner peripheral surface 15c. Therefore, the peripheral wall 23 is less likely to get in the way when the spatula 30 is in use, and the spatula 30 can be used effectively to scrape off the contents L.

[0031] In addition, the total length of spatula part 30 is greater than distance D. Therefore, spatula part 30 can be brought into contact with inner circumferential surface 15c over the entire axial length of body part 15 at once, so that content L can be efficiently scraped off by spatula part 30. The upper end 30d of the spatula portion 30 is located lower than the lower end 23b of the peripheral wall portion 23.

[0032] Furthermore, inner circumferential surface 15c of body 15 is flat from bottom end 15f to top end 15b of body 15, and has no steps or unevenness. This makes it easy for the user to place spatula 30 against inner circumferential surface 15c.

[0033] FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the lid portion 12 is attached to the body portion 15 after the contents L have been scraped off by the spatula portion 30. As shown in FIG. When the contents L on the inner circumferential surface 15c is scraped off by the spatula portion 30, the contents L flows downward along the tapered portion 14a and accumulates in the recessed portion 14b and the tapered portion 14a as shown in FIG. When the lid 12 is attached to the body 15, the lower end 27a of the tube 27 is located in the recess 14b together with the lower end 30e of the spatula 30. In this state, by operating the pressing head 26, the contents L can be sucked up through the tube 27 and the contents L stored in the recess 14b can be discharged from the discharge port 26a. Since the inner diameter of the recess 14b is smaller than the inner diameter of the body 15, the liquid level of the contents L stored in the recess 14b tends to be high. Therefore, the contents L in the recess 14b can be easily sucked up from the lower end 27a of the tube 27.

[0034] FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the spatula part 30 is scooping up the contents L on the inner circumferential surface 15c. A user can scoop the contents L on the inner circumferential surface 15c with the spatula part 30, and directly take out the contents L through the opening 15d as shown in FIG. 5. The user can directly apply the contents L scooped with the spatula part 30 to the application target with the spatula part 30. This eliminates the need to prepare a dedicated tool for application, and allows the contents L to be easily applied. In addition, since there is no need to scoop the contents L from the inner circumferential surface 15c with a finger or the like, it is hygienic. Also, the user can wipe the contents L scooped up by the spatula portion 30 with a puff, and then apply the contents L with the puff.

[0035] As described above, according to the first embodiment to which the present invention is applied, the discharge container 10 includes a bottom wall 14, a cylindrical body 15 extending upward from the periphery of the bottom wall 14, a shoulder 20 extending radially inward from an upper end 15b of the body 15, a cylindrical mouth 21 extending upward from the shoulder 20, and a discharge part 22 attached to the mouth 21 and sucking up the contents L in the body 15 and discharging it to the outside. The lid 12 including the shoulder 20, the mouth 21, and the discharge part 22 is provided separately from the body 15, and an outer engagement part 15e is provided on the outer periphery of the upper end of the body 15. The lid portion 12 comprises a cylindrical peripheral wall portion 23 extending downward from the outer peripheral edge of the shoulder portion 20, an inner engagement portion 23a provided on the inner circumference of the peripheral wall portion 23, and a plate-shaped spatula portion 30 extending within the body portion 15 in the axial direction of the body portion 15, and is detachably attached to the body portion 15 by engagement between the inner engagement portion 23a and the outer engagement portion 15e. According to this configuration, the lid 12 having the spatula 30 is provided separately from the body 15, and the lid 12 is attached to the body 15 in a separable manner by the engagement between the inner engagement part 23a of the lid 12 and the outer engagement part 15e of the body 15. As a result, when the engagement between the inner engagement part 23a and the outer engagement part 15e is released to separate the lid 12 from the body 15, the upper surface of the body 15 opens widely, and the spatula 30 of the lid 12 can be inserted into the body 15 from this opening 15d, and the contents L on the inner wall (inner peripheral surface 15c) of the dispensing container 10 can be scooped or scraped off by the spatula 30. This makes it easier to take out the contents L from the inner wall of the dispensing container 10, and the contents L of the dispensing container 10 can be used as much as possible.

[0036] The discharge part 22 also includes a pump 25 that sucks up the contents L, and a tube 27 that extends downward from the pump 25 and sucks in the contents L, and the spatula part 30 is provided on the outer periphery of the tube 27. According to this configuration, the tube 27 can be used as a support for the spatula part 30, making it easy to provide the spatula part 30.

[0037] Furthermore, bottom wall 14 has a tapered portion 14a whose inner diameter decreases toward the bottom, and a recess 14b in the central portion of bottom wall 14 that recesses downward from the lower end of tapered portion 14a, and when lid portion 12 is attached to body portion 15, lower end 27a of tube 27 is positioned within recess 14b. According to this configuration, the contents L adhering to the inner wall of the dispensing container 10 can be scraped off by the spatula part 30 and collected in the recess 14b of the bottom wall 14. Then, when the lid part 12 is reattached to the body part 15, the lower end 27a of the tube 27 is positioned inside the recess 14b, so that the contents L collected in the recess 14b can be discharged through the tube 27.

[0038] Further, the distance S from the lower end 23b of the peripheral wall portion 23 to the lower end 30e of the spatula portion 30 is greater than the distance D from the upper end 15b of the body portion 15 to the upper end 14c of the bottom wall 14. According to this configuration, the distance S from the lower end 23b of the peripheral wall 23 to the lower end 30e of the spatula is greater than the distance D from the upper end 15b of the body 15 to the upper end 14c of the bottom wall 14, so that when the spatula 30 is used to scoop up the contents L adhering to the inner wall of the body 15, the peripheral wall 23 of the lid 12 is prevented from hitting the upper end 15b of the body 15. This makes the spatula 30 easier to use, and the contents L can be effectively scooped up or scraped off with the spatula 30.

[0039] The cover 12 further includes a cylindrical rib 24 extending downward from the shoulder 20 on the inside of the peripheral wall 23, and the rib 24 abuts against an upper end of the inner peripheral surface 15c. The upper end of the inner peripheral surface 15c is the wall surface of the body 15 on the inner peripheral side of the outer engagement portion 15e. According to this configuration, the rib 24 abutting against the wall surface on the inner periphery side of the outer engagement portion 15e can effectively improve the sealing performance inside the portion where the outer engagement portion 15e and the inner engagement portion 23a engage with each other.

[0040] Furthermore, the inner circumferential surface 15c of the body portion 15 is flat from the lower end 15f to the upper end 15b of the body portion 15. According to this configuration, since the inner peripheral surface 15c of the body 15 is flat from the lower end 15f to the upper end 15b of the body 15, the spatula 30 can be easily moved along the inner peripheral surface 15c of the body 15. Therefore, the contents L adhering to the inner peripheral surface 15c of the body 15 can be effectively scraped off with the spatula 30.

[0041] [Second embodiment] A second embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described below with reference to Figures 6 to 9. In this second embodiment, parts configured similarly to the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof will be omitted. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that a spatula portion 230 extends from shoulder portion 220 and lid portion 212 is rotatable relative to body portion 215 while remaining attached to body portion 215.

[0042] FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a discharge container 210 according to the second embodiment. The discharge container 210 includes a cylindrical container body 211 with a bottom, a lid portion 212 attached to the upper end of the container body 211 , and a cap 13 attached to the lid portion 212 .

[0043] The container body 211 integrally comprises a bottom wall 214 that is substantially circular when viewed from above, and a cylindrical body portion 215 that extends upward from the periphery of the bottom wall 214 that is flat. In FIG. 6, the discharge container 210 is shown in an upright position in which the discharge container 210 is placed upright so that the axis 215a of the body 215 is oriented in the vertical direction.

[0044] Body 215 is a cylinder that extends vertically in a straight line. The inner diameter of body 215 is the same from lower end 215f to upper end 215b of body 215, and inner circumferential surface 215c of body 215 is flat from lower end 215f to upper end 215b of body 215. A circular opening 215d defined by upper end 215b is formed in the upper surface of body 215. An outer engagement portion 215e with which the lid portion 212 engages is provided on the outer periphery of the upper end portion of the body portion 215.

[0045] The lid portion 212 is provided separately from the body portion 215 and is attached to the body portion 215 . The lid portion 212 includes a body cap 217 attached to the body portion 215 and a discharge portion 222 attached to the body cap 217 . The body cap 217 comprises a shoulder portion 220 extending radially inward from the upper end 215b of the body portion 215, a cylindrical mouth portion 221 extending upward from the shoulder portion 220, a tubular peripheral wall portion 223 extending downward from the outer periphery of the shoulder portion 220, a cylindrical rib 224 extending downward from the shoulder portion 220 inside the peripheral wall portion 223, and a plate-shaped spatula portion 230 extending within the body portion 215 in the axial direction of the axis 215a of the body portion 215.

[0046] The shoulder portion 220 is an upper wall that covers a part of the opening 215d from above. Mouth portion 221 is a cylinder with a smaller diameter than body portion 215, and extends upward from the center of shoulder portion 220. Mouth portion 221 is disposed coaxially with body portion 215, and is located on axis 215a. Discharge portion engaging portion 221a to which discharge portion 222 is attached is provided on the outer periphery of mouth portion 221. Discharge portion engaging portion 221a is a male thread portion.

[0047] Peripheral wall 223 of lid 212 is cylindrical and has a larger diameter than body 215, and covers the upper end of body 215 from the outside. An inner engagement portion 223a that engages with outer engagement portion 215e of body 215 is provided on the inner periphery of peripheral wall 223.

[0048] The discharge part 222 sucks up the content L in the discharge container 210 and discharges it to the outside. The discharge portion 222 includes a pump 25, a depression head 26, a tube 227 extending downward from the pump 25, and an attachment cap 28.

[0049] The tube 227 extends downward from the lower end of the cylinder 25a. The lower end 227a of the tube 227 is located near the bottom wall 214. The pump 25 and the upper portion of the tube 227 are disposed on the axis 215 a and are located at the center of the body 215 .

[0050] In the assembly in which the discharge portion 222 and the mounting cap 28 are assembled, the tube 227 and the pump 25 are inserted into the mouth portion 221 from above, and the flange portion 25c is received by the upper surface of the mouth portion 221. The mounting cap 28 is attached to the mouth portion 221 by screwing the engagement portion 28e into the discharge portion engagement portion 221a. When the mounting cap 28 is screwed into the mouth portion 221, the upper wall portion 28b presses the flange portion 25c against the upper surface of the mouth portion 221, thereby fixing the pump 25 to the mouth portion 221.

[0051] FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing the engagement between the outer engagement portion 215e and the inner engagement portion 223a. The outer engagement portion 215e is a groove portion formed on the outer periphery of the upper end portion of the body portion 215. In detail, the outer engagement portion 215e includes annular grooves 215g that are recessed radially inward on the outer periphery of the upper end portion of the body portion 215. A plurality of grooves 215g are provided in the vertical direction.

[0052] The inner engagement portion 223a of the lid portion 212 includes annular projections 223c that project radially inward from the inner periphery of the peripheral wall portion 223. A plurality of projections 223c are provided in the up-down direction. The lid portion 212 is attached to the body portion 215 by the projection 223c of the inner engagement portion 223a engaging with the groove 215g of the outer engagement portion 215e of the body portion 215.

[0053] When the lid portion 212 is attached to the body portion 215, the upper end 215b of the body portion 215 abuts against the lower surface of the shoulder portion 220. In addition, the outer peripheral surface of the rib 224 abuts against the inner peripheral wall surface of the outer engagement portion 215e of the body portion 215.

[0054] The spatula 230 of the lid 212 extends downward from the lower surface of the shoulder 220 along the inner circumferential surface 215c of the body 215. The spatula 230 is formed integrally with the body cap 217.

[0055] The cross-sectional shape of spatula part 230 is similar to that of spatula part 30 in Fig. 2. In detail, spatula part 230 is formed in a tapered shape that tapers from base end 230a located on the axis 215a side to tip 230b located on the inner circumferential surface 215c side. Tip 230b of spatula part 230 extends vertically in parallel with inner circumferential surface 215c of body part 215 over the entire length of spatula part 230.

[0056] A lower end 230c of the spatula portion 230 is located adjacent to the bottom wall 214. An upper end 230d of the spatula portion 230 is located at the same position as an upper end 215b of the body portion 215. The entire tip 230b of the spatula part 230 from the lower end 230c to the upper end 230d abuts against the inner circumferential surface 215c of the body part 215. The distance between the lower end 230c and the bottom wall 214 may be smaller than the plate thickness of the spatula part 230, for example. An upper end 230e of the spatula 230 is connected to the rib 224. The stiffness of the spatula 230 is increased by the rib 224.

[0057] Fig. 8 is a side view showing a state in which lid portion 212 is rotated on body portion 215. In Fig. 8, cap 13 has been removed. In Fig. 8, most of content L has been consumed, but some remains attached to inner circumferential surface 215c of body portion 215. Here, an example of a method of using the spatula part 230 of the lid part 212 will be described. The lid portion 212 is provided rotatably about an axis 215a by engagement between the inner engagement portion 223a and the outer engagement portion 215e.

[0058] 8, the user holds the lid part 212, for example, by gripping the attachment cap 28, and rotates the lid part 212 relative to the body part 215. Then, the spatula part 230 also rotates integrally with the lid part 212 about the axis 215a, and the spatula part 230 rotates in the circumferential direction of the body part 215 with the tip 230b abutting the inner peripheral surface 215c. As a result, the contents L adhering to the inner peripheral surface 215c are scraped off by the spatula part 230.

[0059] FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the contents L have been scraped off by the spatula part 230. As shown in FIG. The contents L scraped off by the spatula part 230 accumulates in the lower part of the container body 211. In this state, by operating the push-down head 26 as shown in Fig. 9, the contents L can be sucked up from the lower end 227a of the tube 227 and discharged from the discharge port 26a.

[0060] Inner circumferential surface 215c of body 215 is flat from lower end 215f to upper end 215b of body 215, and inner circumferential surface 215c has no steps or irregularities. Therefore, spatula 230, which has a simple shape, can be brought into contact with inner circumferential surface 215c as a whole, and contents L can be effectively scraped off.

[0061] Since lid portion 212 is detachably attached to body portion 215 by the engagement between outer engaging portion 215e and inner engaging portion 223a, lid portion 212 can be detached from body portion 215 by strongly pulling lid portion 212 in the axial direction. Then, spatula portion 230 can be inserted into body portion 215 from opening 215d, and content L can be scooped up by spatula portion 230.

[0062] As described above, according to the second embodiment to which the present invention is applied, lid part 212 is rotatable about axis 215a of body part 215 relative to body part 215 by engagement between inner engagement part 223a and outer engagement part 215e. Spatula part 230 extends downward from the lower surface of shoulder part 220 along inner circumferential surface 215c of body part 215, and when lid part 212 rotates, spatula part 230 rotates along inner circumferential surface 215c. According to this configuration, when the lid portion 212 is rotated, the spatula portion 230 of the lid portion 212 rotates along the inner surface 215c of the body portion 215, so that the contents L adhering to the inner surface 215c of the body portion 215 can be effectively scraped off by the spatula portion 230. In addition, in the discharge container 210, the contents L remaining on the inner circumferential surface 215c can be collected by the spatula part 230 without removing the lid part 212 from the body part 215. This prevents the contents L from coming out when collecting the contents with the spatula part 230, and therefore prevents the hands from getting dirty when using the spatula part 230.

[0063] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiment, and various modifications and changes are possible within the scope of the spirit of the present invention described in the claims unless otherwise specifically limited in the above description. For example, the configuration of the above-mentioned embodiment can be appropriately added or deleted, and the configuration of one embodiment can be applied to another embodiment. Furthermore, the effects of the above-mentioned embodiment are merely examples of the effects resulting from the present invention, and do not mean that the effects of the present invention are limited to the above-mentioned effects. In the above first embodiment, the spatula 30 is provided on the outer periphery of the tube 27, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the above first embodiment, the spatula may extend downward from the lower surface of the shoulder 20. In addition, in the above first embodiment, the spatula portion 30 is described as being formed integrally with the tube 27, but this is not limited thereto. For example, the spatula portion may be formed separately from the tube 27 and attached to another member such as the tube 27. [Explanation of symbols]
