  • Patent number: 9499329
    Abstract: This invention makes it possible to spray liquid content while a cleaning member is mounted to a nozzle main body and remove residual liquid without pulling out the cleaning member from the nozzle main body. A nozzle includes a body 10 that presses down two stems 6 together, and a cleaning member 20 having two ejection ports 1a and capable of moving relative to the body 10. The body 10 is removably mounted to the stems 6, the cleaning member 20 is slidably inserted into an ejection-side passage R2 and has two tubular parts 21. Each of the tubular parts 21 forms a space R4 that connects a stem-side passage R1 to an annular cross section passage R3 when the cleaning member 20 is pulled out, while reduces this space R4 to thereby remove a residual material C when the cleaning member 20 is pushed in.
