  • Patent number: 8292532
    Abstract: A propelling container with an inner cylinder, a dispenser head, an inner plate, an annular sealing member, a rotator and a lid body. The rotator has a bottom wall part connected to a lower end of the connecting rod, and a circumferential wall part extending from a periphery of the bottom wall part along an outer face of the inner cylinder and surrounding the inner cylinder, thereby rotatably held by the inner cylinder. The rotator is provided with an elastic body repeatedly contacted with and moved away from a projection of the inner cylinder upon rotation of the rotator to generate a click feeling. A stopper is arranged on a base part of the screw rod and associated with a lower part of the inner plate when the inner plate is positioned at the lowest end of the content filling space, so that rotation of the rotator is prevented.
