Abstract:
A side-push type container comprising:a reservoir that stores a liquid material;a hollow container body connected to the reservoir and having a depressible push button on a side of the hollow container body;an application member partly inserted into the hollow container body, thereby exposing a remaining part of the application member from the hollow container body; anda valve mechanism comprising a movable nozzle having a first end and a second end having a lateral engagement portion extending transverse to a central axis of the movable nozzle, a piston having a forward end connected to the second end of the movable nozzle via a movable valve, energizing means for biasing the piston in a direction coaxial with the central axis of the movable member, and a cylinder that delimits a leak-tight valve compartment with the piston, the leak-tight valve compartment communicating with the reservoir and housing at least the energizing means such that the valve mechanism feeds a fixed amount of the liquid material to the application member when the lateral engagement portion engages the energizing means in response to depression of the depressible push button.
