Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a pump container with a tray. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a pump container with a saucer is known, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1. A pump container with a saucer is generally configured such that a saucer portion (liquid saucer) having a saucer body (dish body) is attached to the stem or the like of a pump mechanism, and the saucer body is pressed in the axial direction to drive the pump mechanism, causing the contents sucked by the pump mechanism to be poured onto the saucer. Such a pump container with a saucer is called a hand wrap container, etc., and has been used as a container for storing liquids that are particularly highly volatile, such as medicines such as alcohol and cosmetics such as lotions.

[0003] In the case of a pump container with a tray, the tray is pressed by the applicator, so that the contents can be applied directly to the applicator without lifting or tilting the container. This point has attracted attention, and the container has become popular in recent years as a container for storing dishwashing detergent. While washing dishes, dishwashing detergent may be applied to a sponge multiple times, but with a pump container with a tray, there is no need to touch the container with dirty hands each time, and dishwashing detergent can be applied directly to the sponge with one hand, which is easy to use. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-165757 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] When volatile contents are stored in a pump container with a tray, the contents poured onto the tray evaporate immediately. Therefore, the contents do not remain on the tray. However, residual dishwashing detergent that does not adhere to the sponge may remain in the tray. In addition, when the sponge is pressed against the tray, moisture and dirt transferred from the sponge side may adhere to the tray. In the conventional pump container with a tray, there is a risk that moisture and dirt transferred from the sponge side may flow into the stem side of the pump mechanism together with the dishwashing detergent and moisture.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention aims to solve such problems and to provide a pump with a tray and a pump container with a tray that can prevent contents etc. accumulated in the tray from flowing into the pump mechanism. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the pump with a saucer according to the present invention comprises: an attachment part that is attached to the mouth of a container body that contains contents; a pump mechanism that has a pressing part that is held by the attachment part and is biased toward one axial end of the mouth, and that is capable of sucking in the contents when the pressing part is pressed toward the other axial end; a pouring tube that is connected to a pouring passage in the pressing part and has a pouring outlet formed in a side wall part for pouring the contents to the outside; a cover face body that closes the top surface of the pouring tube; and a saucer part that is provided so as to be movable in the axial direction relative to the attachment part, the saucer part having an insertion hole into which the pouring tube is inserted and a saucer body from which the contents are poured out from the pouring outlet; and a biasing means that biases the saucer body toward the one axial end until the insertion hole is blocked by the cover face body, and is configured so that when the saucer body is pressed toward the other axial end, the pressing force is transmitted to the pressing part after the cover face body moves away from the insertion hole. The mounting portion includes an attachment tube that is attached to the mouth of the container body, a top wall surface that covers the top surface of the attachment tube, an opening in the top wall surface, an inner tube that is provided inside the attachment tube and continues from the opening in the top wall surface, and a guide groove that is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the inner tube, has the top wall surface as an opening end, and extends from the opening end along the axial direction to one end side. The receiving tray portion includes a retaining tube that holds the bottom surface of the receiving tray body and is inserted into the inner tube, and a rib portion that protrudes radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the retaining tube. By rotating the receiving tray body, the rib portion moves to a first position where it abuts against the top wall surface as the retaining tube rotates, and a second position where the rib portion can be inserted into the guide groove. The biasing means is a resin spring member that is provided on the other end side of the retaining tube and is molded integrally with the retaining tube. It is characterized by:

[0008] In the pan-equipped pump of the present invention, it is preferable that the biasing means biases the pan body toward one end in the axial direction with a force weaker than the force with which the pressing portion is biased toward one end in the axial direction.

[0009] In the pump with a receiver tray according to the present invention, it is preferable that the receiver tray includes an abutment portion that abuts against the pressing portion when the cover body and the insertion hole are separated by a predetermined distance.

[0012] In order to solve the above problem, a pump container with a receiver according to the present invention is characterized by comprising a pump with a receiver according to the present invention and a container body. Effect of the Invention

[0013] According to the pump with a saucer and the pump container with a saucer of the present invention, the saucer portion having the saucer body can be pressed toward the other end in the axial direction to press the pressing portion of the pump mechanism toward the other end in the axial direction. When the pressing portion is pressed, the pump mechanism is activated and the contents contained in the container body are sucked. The saucer body is provided with an insertion hole into which a pouring tube connected to a pouring passage in the pressing portion of the pump mechanism is inserted. A pouring outlet is formed in a side wall of the pouring tube, and its top surface is closed by a lid body. Since the saucer body is pressed toward one end in the axial direction by the pressing means, the insertion hole is closed by the lid body in a normal state. On the other hand, when the saucer portion is pressed toward the other end in the axial direction, the pressing portion is pressed after the lid body moves away from the insertion hole. Therefore, by pressing the saucer portion toward the other end in the axial direction, the contents can be poured into the saucer body from the pouring outlet, and when the pressing force on the saucer portion is released, the saucer body moves toward one end in the axial direction by the biasing means, the insertion hole is blocked by the lid body, and the contents remaining on the saucer body are prevented from flowing into the pouring path inside the pressing portion. Therefore, when the pump container with saucer is used as a storage container for dishwashing detergent, for example, not only the dishwashing detergent remaining on the saucer body but also moisture and dirt transferred from a sponge or the like to the saucer body are prevented from flowing into the pump mechanism, making it easy to keep the pump with saucer and the pump container with saucer hygienic.

[Figure 4] 2A and 2B are diagrams for explaining the operation of the pump with a receiver and the pump container with a receiver shown in FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a pump with a saucer and a pump container with a saucer according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a pump with a saucer 100a and a pump container with a saucer 100 of this embodiment. The pump container with a saucer 100 is provided with a pump with a saucer 100a attached to a mouth 11 of a container body (not shown) via an attachment part 20.

[0016] The saucer-equipped pump 100a of this embodiment includes the mounting portion 20, the pump mechanism 30 held by the mounting portion 20, and a saucer portion 40 that allows the pressing portion 31 of the pump mechanism 30 to be pressed. In the following description, the container body is assumed to contain dishwashing detergent as the contents Liq (see FIG. 4(b)). However, the contents Liq contained in the container body in the present invention are not limited to dishwashing detergent, and may contain various liquids (medicinal substances such as alcohol, lotions, cosmetics such as nail polish removers, etc.), and the contents Liq are not particularly limited as long as they can be sucked by the pump mechanism 30. In addition, the shape of the container body is not particularly limited as long as the container body is configured to allow the saucer-equipped pump 100a to be attached to the mouth portion 11 via the mounting portion 20.

[0017] The specific configuration of each part will be described below. In this specification, "upper" and "lower" indicate relative positional relationships, and when the receiver pump 100a is attached to the mouth part 11 of the container body via the attachment part 20, the side where the receiver part 40 is located is referred to as "upper" and the side where the container body is located is referred to as "lower". In addition, "axial direction" refers to the direction of the central axis O of the mouth part 11 of the container body. Furthermore, one end side in the present invention corresponds to the upper side in this embodiment, and the other end side in the present invention corresponds to the lower side in this embodiment.

[0018] The mounting part 20 includes a mounting tube 21 that is mounted to the mouth part 11 of the container body, an inner tube 22 that is provided inside the mounting tube 21, and an outer tube 23 that is provided outside the mounting tube 21. The mounting tube 21, the inner tube 22, and the outer tube 23 each have a substantially cylindrical shape, and each of their central axes is coaxial with the central axis O of the mouth part 11.

[0019] A threaded portion 21a is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the mounting tube 21. The threaded portion 11a on the mouth portion 11 side and the threaded portion 21a on the mounting tube 21 side are screwed together, so that the mounting portion 20 is detachably attached to the mouth portion 11. The top surface (upper surface) of the mounting tube 21 is covered by a top wall surface 21b. An opening 21c is provided approximately in the center of the top wall surface 21b.

[0020] The inner tube 22 is provided so as to hang down from the edge of the opening 21c. A bottom wall surface 22a is provided at the bottom of the inner tube 22. An opening 22b having a slightly smaller diameter than the opening 21c is provided in approximately the center of the bottom wall surface 22a. A guide groove 24 (see FIG. 3(b)) is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the inner tube 22, the guide groove 24 having the top wall surface 21b of the mounting tube 21 as an opening end and extending downward along the axial direction from the opening end. In this embodiment, four guide grooves 24 are provided at equal intervals. However, FIG. 1 shows a cross section at a position that avoids the guide groove 24.

[0021] The upper end of the outer cylinder 23 is located above the upper ends of the mounting cylinder 21 and the inner cylinder 22. The upper end of the outer cylinder 23 is provided with a top wall portion 25 that is connected to the top wall surface 21b. The top wall portion 25 includes an inclined wall portion 25a that inclines from the height of the upper end of the outer cylinder 23 toward the top wall surface 21b. The outer diameter of the outer cylinder 23 is, for example, the same as the outer diameter of the body of the container body. By making the outer diameter of the outer cylinder 23 the same as the body of the container body, the mounting portion 20 and the container body can be designed to have an integrated appearance. If necessary, an overcap that covers the receiving tray portion 40 may be provided on the outer cylinder 23 via a hinge or the like.

[0022] The pump mechanism 30 includes a pressing portion 31 biased axially upward, a stem 32, a cylinder 33, and a mounting flange 34. The central axes of these are coaxial with the central axis O of the mouth portion 11 of the container body. The mounting flange 34 is sandwiched between the upper end of the mouth portion 11 and the lower surface of the top wall surface 21b via packings 35a and 35b, respectively.

[0023] The lower end side of the pressing part 31 is inserted into the cylinder 33 and is provided so as to be able to be pressed against the cylinder 33 in the axial direction. The stem 32 is provided in the pressing part 31. The stem 32 has a bulging part (not shown) and is fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the pressing part 31. A piston, a spring, etc. (not shown) are provided in the cylinder 33. A piston is provided at the lower end of the stem 32. The spring biases the pressing part 31 axially upward via the piston, stem, etc. A suction tube is connected to the lower end of the cylinder 33 via a check valve. The suction tube is housed in the container body so as to extend from the lower end of the cylinder 33 toward the bottom of the container body. When the pressing part 31 is pressed axially downward, the stem 32 moves axially downward together with the pressing part 31, and the piston moves downward, pressurizing the inside of the cylinder 33. When the inside of the cylinder 33 is pressurized, the content Liq contained in the cylinder 33 is sent to the outside through a pouring path provided in the pressing part 31. In this embodiment, the pouring path is provided in the pressing part 31 so that the content Liq is delivered in the axially upward direction. The specific configuration of the pump mechanism 30 is not particularly limited, and may be any configuration as long as it has the pressing part 31 biased in the axially upward direction, is actuated by pressing the pressing part 31 in the axially downward direction, and is configured to suck the content Liq contained in the container body.

[0024] In this embodiment, the pressing part 31 includes a lower pressing part 31a in which the stem 32 is housed, and an upper pressing part 31c connected to the upper part of the lower pressing part 31a via a step part 31b. The upper pressing part 31c is reduced in diameter relative to the lower pressing part 31a. The above-mentioned pouring passage is provided inside the lower pressing part 31a and the upper pressing part 31c. In addition, a pouring tube 50 connected to the pouring end of the above-mentioned pouring passage is provided on the upper end surface of the upper pressing part 31c. A pouring outlet 51a is formed in a side wall part 51 of the pouring tube 50. The top surface of the pouring tube 50 is closed by a cover surface body 52. ​​The cover surface body 52 has a substantially circular flat plate shape. The content Liq delivered from the pouring passage in the pressing part 31 heads axially upward, but the axially upward flow path is blocked by the cover surface body 52. Therefore, the content Liq is poured out from the pouring outlet 51a formed in the side wall portion 51 of the pouring tube 50 in a direction intersecting the axial direction to the outside of the pouring outlet 51a.

[0025] Next, the configuration of the receiving tray 40 will be described with reference to Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 2(a) is a partial cross-sectional view showing the receiving tray 40, and Fig. 2(b) is a top view of the receiving tray 40. The receiving tray 40 is provided so as to be movable in the axial direction relative to the mounting part 20. In this embodiment, the receiving tray 40 has a receiving tray body 41 having an insertion hole 41a into which the pouring tube 50 is inserted, a holding tube 42 that holds the bottom surface of the receiving tray body 41, a resin spring member 43 (biasing means) provided at the lower end of the holding tube 42, a rib portion 44 that protrudes radially outward from the outer circumferential surface of the holding tube 42, and a guide tube 45 provided inside the holding tube 42. The pouring tube 50, the receiving tray body 41, the insertion hole 41a, the resin spring member 43, and the guide tube 45 are provided so as to be coaxial with the central axis O of the mouth part 11.

[0026] The receiving dish 41 has a dish-like shape with a bottom curved downward in a cross-sectional view. The inner diameter of the upper part of the insertion hole 41a is formed to be approximately the same as the outer diameter of the cover body 52. ​​A protrusion 41b that protrudes in an annular shape radially inward is provided at the lower part of the insertion hole 41a. The inner diameter of the protrusion 41b is configured to be smaller than the outer diameter of the cover body 52. ​​Therefore, when the cover body 52 is accommodated in the insertion hole 41a, the lower surface of the cover body 52 abuts against the upper surface of the protrusion 41b, whereby the insertion hole 41a is closed by the cover body 52.

[0027] The inner diameter of the protruding portion 41b is larger than the outer diameter of the upper pressing portion 31c. Therefore, when the receiving tray portion 40 is pressed axially downward, the upper surface of the upper pressing portion 31c abuts against the lower surface of the protruding portion 41b (see FIGS. 1 and 3). The lower surface of the cover body 52 abuts against the upper surface of the protruding portion 41b, so that the pressing force applied to the receiving tray portion 40 is transmitted to the pressing portion 31 of the pump mechanism 30.

[0028] The retaining tube 42 has a substantially cylindrical shape. The retaining tube 42 has an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the upper pressing portion 31c of the pump mechanism 30 and an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the inner tube 22 of the mounting portion 20. The retaining tube 42 is fitted onto the upper pressing portion 31c via the guide tube 45, and is insertable into the inner tube 22. The retaining tube 42 is movable in the axial direction within the inner tube 22, and is provided rotatable about the axial direction as the center of rotation.

[0029] The resin spring member 43 is configured as a compression spring that can be compressed in the axial direction. For example, as shown in FIG. 2(a), the resin spring member 43 has a plurality of curved linear portions 43a extending from the lower end to the upper end, and can be formed in a form that is compressed when pressed in the axial direction and can be restored by elastic force. The resin spring member 43 has a biasing force that biases the receiving dish body 41 axially upward to a position where the insertion hole 41a is closed by the cover surface body 52. ​​Note that the biasing force that the resin spring member 43 applies to the receiving dish part 40 in the axial upward direction is preferably weaker than the biasing force applied to the pressing part 31 in the axial upward direction by a spring or the like housed in a cylinder in the pump mechanism 30.

[0030] In this embodiment, a resin spring member 43 is used as the biasing means for biasing the tray body 41 axially upward to the position where the insertion hole 41a is blocked by the cover surface body 52, so that the retaining tube 42 and the biasing means can be molded integrally. Furthermore, by using the resin spring member 43, it is also possible to mold the entire tray portion 40 integrally. This makes it possible to reduce the number of parts and the assembly man-hours. Furthermore, by constructing these parts from the same type of resin, the weight of the tray-equipped pump container can be reduced. Furthermore, separation at the time of disposal becomes easier, and recycling becomes easier.

[0031] In this embodiment, four rib portions 44 are provided so as to correspond to the guide grooves 24. Each rib portion 44 extends from the lower surface of the receiving plate body 41 toward the lower end of the holding tube 42 on the outer circumferential surface of the holding tube 42. FIG. 1 shows a state in which each rib portion 44 is disposed on the top wall surface 21b of the mounting tube 21 at a first position, which is a position different from the opening end of the guide groove 24. In this first position, the lower end of each rib portion 44 abuts against the top wall surface 21b of the mounting tube 21. Therefore, even if the receiving plate portion 40 is pressed in the first position, the axial downward movement of the receiving plate portion 40 is restricted. As shown in FIG. 2(b), by rotating the receiving plate body 41, the holding tube 42 rotates accordingly. By rotating the receiving plate body 41 from the state shown in FIG. 1, each rib portion 44 can be moved to a second position, which is on the opening end of each guide groove 24 (see FIG. 3(b)). When each rib portion 44 is moved to the second position, the receiving tray portion 40 is pressed and the each rib portion 44 is inserted into the corresponding guide groove 24. Therefore, in the second position, the receiving tray portion 40 is permitted to move axially downward.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2(a), the guide tube 45 is provided so as to hang down from the insertion hole 41a on the underside of the receiving plate 41. The inner diameter of the guide tube 45 is larger than the inner diameter of the protrusion 41b provided in the insertion hole 41a, and is configured to be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the upper pressing portion 31c. The guide tube 45 is fitted onto the upper pressing portion 31c and is provided so as to be movable up and down in the axial direction relative to the upper pressing portion 31c. In addition, a sliding contact portion 45a is provided at the lower end of the guide tube 45, protruding radially inward and in sliding contact with the outer circumferential surface of the upper pressing portion 31c. By providing the above-mentioned rib portion 44 and the sliding contact portion 45a on the guide tube 45, rattling of the guide tube 45 is suppressed, and the receiving plate 41 can be moved up and down in the axial direction while being stably maintained by the retaining tube 42.

[0033] The axial length (cylinder length) of the guide tube 45 is approximately the same as the axial length of the upper pressing portion 31c. As shown by the double-headed arrow with the symbol L in FIG. 1, when the insertion hole 41a is closed by the cover surface body 52, there is a predetermined distance between the lower end of the guide tube 45 and the upper surface of the step portion 31b provided in the pressing portion 31, and between the lower surface of the protruding portion 41b provided at the lower portion of the insertion hole 41a and the upper end of the upper pressing portion 31c, and the distances L are approximately equal. Therefore, when the receiving plate body 41 is pressed axially downward against the biasing force of the resin spring member 43, when the protruding portion 41b of the insertion hole 41a abuts against the upper end of the upper pressing portion 31c, the lower end of the guide tube 45 abuts against the upper surface of the step portion 31b of the pressing portion 31.

[0034] Next, the operation of the pan-equipped pump 100a and the pan-equipped pump container 100 will be described with reference to Figs. 3 and 4. Note that some reference numerals are omitted in Figs. 3 and 4. First, the rotational operation of the pan portion 40 will be described. Fig. 3(a) shows the state in which each rib portion 44 provided on the retaining tube 42 is arranged in the first position. As described above, when each rib portion 44 is arranged in the first position, the lower end of each rib portion 44 abuts against the top wall surface 21b of the mounting tube 21. Therefore, even if the pan portion 40 is pressed axially downward, the downward movement of the pan portion 40 in the axial direction is restricted.

[0035] From the state shown in Fig. 3(a), the tray body 41 is rotated by a predetermined angle (e.g., 45 degrees) to move each rib portion 44 to a second position. At this time, each rib portion 44 is positioned on the open end of each guide groove 24. In this second position, when a pressing force is applied axially downward to the tray portion 40 as shown by the white arrow in Fig. 3(b), the tray portion 40 can be moved axially downward.

[0036] For example, in the distribution stage or when the pan-equipped pump container 100 is unused or not in use, the rib portions 44 are arranged in the first position, so that the pan portion 40 is pressed and the contents Liq are prevented from being inadvertently poured out. On the other hand, when the pan portion 40 is used, the rib portions 44 are arranged in the second position, so that the contents Liq are poured out onto the pan body 41 by pressing the pan portion 40. It is preferable that the pan body 41 is configured to be rotatable only within the range of the above-mentioned predetermined angle. In addition, when no pressing force is applied to the pan portion 40, the resin spring member 43 urges the insertion hole 41a of the pan body 41 axially upward to a position where the cover surface body 52 closes the insertion hole 41a. At this time, even in the second position, the rib portions 44 are located near the opening ends of the guide grooves 24.

[0037] Next, the pressing operation of the receiving tray 40 will be described with reference to Fig. 4. It is assumed that each rib 44 is located at the second position. First, when a dishwashing sponge S (see Fig. 4(a)) or the like is placed on the receiving tray body 41 and the receiving tray 40 is pressed axially downward via the dishwashing sponge S, each rib 44 provided on the outer circumferential surface of the retaining tube 42 is inserted into the guide groove 24 in the inner tube 22, and the sliding contact portion 45a at the lower end of the guide tube 45 slides against the outer circumferential surface of the upper pressing portion 31c of the pump mechanism 30, and is guided by these to move the entire receiving tray 40 axially downward.

[0038] When the entire receiving tray 40 moves axially downward from the initial position by a length corresponding to the above-mentioned predetermined separation distance L (see FIG. 1), the lower surface of the protruding portion 41b provided on the insertion hole 41a abuts against the upper end of the upper pressing portion 31c, and the lower end of the guide tube 45 abuts against the upper surface of the step portion 31b of the pressing portion 31. During that time, the pressing portion 31 does not move axially, so the pouring tube 50 moves axially upward relative to the receiving tray body 41. This state is shown in FIG. 4(a). As shown in FIG. 4(a), at this time, the cover surface body 52 is separated from the insertion hole 41a, and the pouring outlet 51a is located above the insertion hole 41a. At this time, the cover surface body 52 and the insertion hole 41a are separated by a distance corresponding to the predetermined separation distance L shown in FIG. 1.

[0039] When pressure on the receiving tray portion 40 is continued from the state shown in Figure 4(a), the pressing force applied to the receiving tray portion 40 is transmitted axially downward to the pressing portion 31, with the protrusion 41b provided on the insertion hole 41a and the lower end of the guide tube 45 becoming the abutment portion as defined in the present invention, and the pressing force is transmitted axially downward to the pressing portion 31, and the pressing portion 31 is pressed axially downward.

[0040] When the pressing part 31 is pressed, the pump mechanism 30 is operated accordingly, and the piston moves axially downward via the stem 32 as described above, and the cylinder 33 is pressurized, and the content Liq sucked into the cylinder 33 is sent to the pouring passage in the pressing part 31. The content Liq sent to the pouring passage in the pressing part 31 is pumped upward in the axial direction. Then, in the pouring tube 50 connected to the pouring passage, the lid face body 52 blocks the axially upward movement, and the content Liq is poured out from the pouring outlet 51a onto the receiving plate 41 by changing the flow path in a direction intersecting the axial direction as shown by the arrow in FIG. 4(a). At that time, if the dishwashing sponge S is pressed against the receiving plate 41, the content Liq adheres to the dishwashing sponge S.

[0041] As described above, the pressing portion 31 is biased axially upward by a spring or the like (not shown). The receiving portion 40 is also biased axially upward by the resin spring member 43. Therefore, when the pressure on the receiving portion 40 is released, the pressing portion 31 and the receiving portion 40 each move axially upward. In this embodiment, the biasing force applied axially upward by the resin spring member 43 to the receiving portion 40 is weaker than the biasing force applied axially upward to the pressing portion 31 by a spring or the like housed in the cylinder 33 in the pump mechanism 30. Therefore, when the pressing portion 31 moves axially upward, the upper end of the upper pressing portion 31c pushes up the protruding portion 41b provided in the insertion hole 41a, and the step portion 31b of the pressing portion 31 pushes up the lower end of the guide tube 45. When the pressing portion 31 is pushed up to the position shown in FIG. 3(b), the receiving tray portion 40 then moves axially upward only by the biasing force of the resin spring member 43, and the insertion hole 41a is closed by the cover surface body 52.

[0042] According to the above embodiment of the pump with saucer 100a and the pump container with saucer 100, as described above, when the saucer portion 40 is pressed axially downward, the cover surface body 52 moves away from the insertion hole 41a by a predetermined distance (separation distance L), and then the pressing portion 31 is pressed. Therefore, by pressing the saucer portion 40 toward the other end in the axial direction, the content Liq is poured out from the pouring outlet 51a toward the saucer body 41 as described above, and can be attached to the dishwashing sponge S or the like.

[0043] On the other hand, when the pressing force against the saucer portion 40 is released, the saucer portion 40 is quickly moved axially upward together with the pressing portion 31, and the resin spring member 43 can close the insertion hole 41a with the lid surface body 52. ​​Therefore, even if the contents Liq remain on the saucer body 41 as shown in FIG. 4(b), the contents Liq can be prevented from flowing into the pouring passage side in the pressing portion 31. Therefore, when the saucer-equipped pump container 100 is used as a container for dishwashing detergent as in the above embodiment, not only the dishwashing detergent remaining on the saucer body 41, but also moisture and dirt adhering to the dishwashing sponge S during dishwashing are prevented from flowing into the pump mechanism 30, and it is easy to keep the saucer-equipped pump 100a and the saucer-equipped pump container 100 hygienic.

[0044] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the pump with a receiver and the pump container with a receiver according to the present invention are not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the present invention. For example, the detailed configurations of the container body, the mounting part 20, the pump mechanism 30, the receiver part 40, etc. are not limited to the configurations described in the above embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate. In the above embodiment, the retaining tube 42 and the resin spring member 43 are integrally molded from the same type of resin, but they may be formed separately. In addition, the resin spring member 43 may be formed from a different material, such as a metal spring member, as long as it is a biasing member that can bias the receiver part 40 axially upward.

[0045] In the above embodiment, four guide grooves 24 and four rib portions 44 are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the inner tube 22 of the mounting portion 20 and the outer peripheral surface of the holding tube 42, respectively, and the position of the rib portion 44 is moved between the first position and the second position by rotating the receiving plate body 42 at a predetermined angle (rotational range), for example, 45 degrees, but this is not limited to this embodiment. The number of guide grooves 24 and rib portions 44 and the above-mentioned predetermined angle can be appropriately changed. For example, when the guide grooves 24 and the rib portions 44 are provided as in the above embodiment, two guide grooves 24 and two rib portions 44 may be provided, and the above-mentioned predetermined angle may be 90 degrees or the like. Also, instead of multiple guide grooves 24 and one rib portion 44, only one each may be provided, and the rotational range of the receiving plate body 42 may be 45 degrees. The above-mentioned predetermined angle can be appropriately set according to the number of guide grooves 24 and rib portions 44 and the positions at which they are arranged. These configurations make it possible to realize, with a simple configuration and without increasing the number of parts, the function of a stopper that prevents the tray portion 40 from being inadvertently pressed, and the function of a guide means that guides the axial movement of the tray portion 40. However, in the tray-equipped pump and tray-equipped pump container according to the present invention, these functions are optional, and when providing these functions, they may be realized by different configurations.

[0046] In addition, although the pouring tube 50 is provided at the upper end of the pressing portion 31, the pouring tube 50 does not need to be cylindrical, and the specific shape, etc., is not particularly limited as long as it is configured so that the contents Liq pressurized through the pouring path is poured (discharged) to the outside.
