Claim Text:
1. A nozzle mounting structure of a component container including a housing including a cylindrical portion having an opening portion at one side thereof, a chamber provided inside the housing and configured to contain a predetermined component, and a bottom wall portion closing the other end of the cylindrical portion and having a discharge port configured to discharge a component from the chamber, wherein the nozzle mounting structure is configured to dispose a nozzle at a first position which causes the nozzle to close the discharge port before the component is discharged from the discharge port and to dispose the nozzle at a second position which allows the discharge port and a passage of the nozzle to communicate with each other when the component is discharged from the discharge port, the nozzle mounting structure comprising: a body including: a body holding structure configured to hold the body to allow the nozzle to rotate between the first position and the second position with respect to the center of rotation, wherein: the body includes a curved convex surface curved in an arc with respect to the center of rotation; the entrance opens in an end portion of the curved convex surface to form the entrance portion; the closing portion is formed by the curved convex surface except the entrance portion; a curved concave surface is formed on an outer surface of the bottom wall portion of the housing such that the curved convex surface slides thereon, and the discharge port opens in the curved concave surface; the body holding structure includes: the support portion includes a pair of standing walls located on both sides of the curved concave surface and standing from the bottom wall portion; a pair of fitting grooves are formed in opposing wall portions of the pair of standing walls opposing each other; and projections are unitarily formed with inner wall surfaces of the pair of fitting grooves and configured to come into contact with outer peripheral surfaces of the pair of shaft portions to impart a force toward the bottom wall portion on the pair of shaft portions when the curved convex surface is fitted in the curved concave surface.
