Dispensing container

Abstract

To facilitate easy refilling of contents inside a container body equipped with a middle tray that rises as the contents decrease.SOLUTION: A spiral cylinder 15 extending downward is provided within a middle tray 13 inside a container body 11. The spiral cylinder is formed with a first spiral groove and a first longitudinal groove 32 intersecting the first spiral groove. A rotating cylinder 16 covering the first spiral groove and the first longitudinal groove is provided between the spiral cylinder and a bottom cover 14. The rotating cylinder has a first engagement projection 33 accommodated in the first longitudinal groove and capable of entering the first spiral groove. The bottom cover and the rotating cylinder each have a first engagement portion 24b and a second engagement portion 34a formed separately. The first and second engagement portions engage circumferentially with each other when the bottom cover is rotated in one circumferential direction, and rotate relative to each other circumferentially when the bottom cover is rotated in the other circumferential direction. When the rotating cylinder rotates in one circumferential direction relative to the spiral cylinder, the first engagement protrusion slides along the first spiral groove, causing the spiral cylinder to descend together with the middle tray.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
