Claim Text:
1. A pump-dispensing container including a container body and a dispensing pump body mounted on the opening of the container body, discharging a liquid contained in the container body from a discharge opening provided in a nozzle head portion disposed in the upper part of the dispensing pump body when the nozzle head portion is moved up and down, wherein the dispensing pump body includes: a tubular liquid cylinder portion which can be connected to the inside of the container body; a primary check valve which can open and close the connection between the liquid cylinder portion and the inside of the container body; a liquid piston portion which is a tubular member that can be moved up and down together with the nozzle head portion, the outer surface of the lower end being in sliding contact with the inner wall of the liquid cylinder portion, a space enclosed together with the liquid cylinder portion being provided as a liquid chamber, and the liquid piston portion being able to be connected to the inside of the nozzle head portion through an upper open end; a rod-shaped valve body which is a rod-shaped member disposed in the space enclosed by the liquid cylinder portion and the liquid piston portion, the upper end penetrating the upper open end of the liquid piston portion, the penetrated upper end having an enlarged-diameter portion having an outer diameter larger than the diameter of the open end of the liquid piston portion, and the rod-shaped valve body forming a secondary check valve which can open and close the connection between the inside of the liquid piston portion and the inside of the nozzle head portion by blocking the open end with the enlarged-diameter portion in contact with the open end of the liquid piston portion or by releasing the open end by separating the enlarged-diameter portion and the open end; a tubular engagement portion which is a tubular member engaging with the lower end of the rod-shaped valve body from the outer side, the lower face of an enlarged-diameter portion that extends outward in the lower end of the tubular member being able to be in contact with the upper face of a base portion extending inward from the edge of the bottom of the liquid cylinder portion; a spring portion which comes between the lower end of the liquid piston portion and the upper face of the enlarged-diameter portion of the tubular engagement portion and exerts force in a direction in which the distance between the liquid piston portion and the tubular engagement portion is increased; and a tubular nozzle head portion which has a discharge opening in the end and which can be connected to the inside of the liquid piston portion through the upper open end, wherein the nozzle head portion is brought up further above the top dead point, where the coil spring starts being compressed by moving down the nozzle head portion, the liquid piston portion, the spring portion, and the tubular engagement portion are brought up together with the nozzle head portion, and the lower face of the enlarged- diameter portion of the tubular engagement portion is separated from the upper face of the base portion on the edge of the bottom of the liquid cylinder portion, providing a given distance between the lower face of the enlarged-diameter portion and the upper face of the base portion on the edge of the bottom, and allowing the tubular engagement portion to move up and down in a given range with respect to the liquid cylinder portion, and the primary check valve releases the connection between the liquid cylinder portion and the inside of the container body in the state in which the liquid chamber is filled with a desired liquid and the nozzle head portion is brought up to the highest unactuated position, wherein the primary check valve includes a ball having a specific gravity lower than 1.00 and a valve seat portion provided in the liquid cylinder portion and having a smaller diameter than the ball.
