Abstract: A liquid container such that the liquid received in it will not easily spring out from its tip even if it is wrongly operated, comprises a tank portion for receiving a liquid, a knock bar stretching axially movably within the tank portion which is designed to have on its axial tip portion a pump shelf portion whose diameter have been enlarged, an induction bar fixed into the tip of the knock bar, a brush provided on the tip side of the induction bar, and a spring for always energizing the above knock bar and induction bar rearward. On the internal periphery surface of the above tank portion, a plurality of ribs are formed which stretch axially and on top of which the above pump shelf portion can slide, the internal periphery surface ahead of the ribs is at the same level as and continuous with the top face of the ribs and designed as a diameter-reducing portion where the pump shelf portion can slide. The pump shelf portion slidably touches the ribs when it is not biased.

Abstract: A cap adaptable to the prevention of the application tip body of a liquid container from being dried up by supplying a vaporized solvent thereto, characterized in that it is configured in such a manner that its supply of solvent is difficult to obstruct.When the cap is attached to the liquid container, since the tip of the brush of the liquid container is inserted into the inside space of the inner cap and the tip fitting of the liquid container biases the opening/closing member toward the innermost portion of the cap body against the energizing force of the spring, the transverse hole of the cylindrical portion communicates with the innermost portion of the cap body, which allows the vaporized solvent out of the solvent-impregnation medium to pass through the transverse hole, the longitudinal hole and the solvent passage, and around the flange portion of the inner cap, thus the solvent reaches the brush of the liquid container, as a result, the brush is moistened and prevented from being dried up.
