  • Patent number: 9308541
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to improve a pump-dispensing container structured to prevent leakage of liquid caused by slight vertical movements of the nozzle head, to make it easier to push out the liquid when the nozzle head is pressed down first from its highest position. If a primary check valve is configured to open the connection between the inside of the liquid chamber and the inside of the container body in a state in which the liquid chamber is filled with a liquid and the nozzle head is raised to its highest position, when the nozzle head is pressed down from its highest position to push out the liquid, resistance met during the pressing down of the nozzle head is significantly reduced because of the open connection between the inside of the liquid chamber and the inside of the container body, and the liquid can be pushed out easily by applying a small force.
