  Furthermore, it is preferable that the container main body 2 has a symmetrical shape as a whole.

When hand washing detergent is depleted, it needs to be replenished. In the present embodiment, without removing the container 1 to the container mounting member 9 of the washbasin 8, the pump 5 is removed from the threaded openings 3 B, it is supplemented through the upper opening portion 3 B.

In this embodiment, it is to reach the lower projections interior space 4C the liquid introducing end 5B at the tip of the liquid-introducing tubes 5A of the pump 5 as described above is provided with a fixing screw 4 A.

Here, since there is provided a fixing screw 4 A in the central portion of the formed oval rotational body-like curved so as to convex toward the lower side, the liquid cleanser is a content remaining, the amount becomes less When gathered, it gathers into the lower projection internal space 4C by the action of gravity, and the accumulated contents can be sucked up by the pump 5. As a result, it can be discharged until the content is almost gone.

As described above, in this embodiment, the opening provided with the pump 5 for discharging the agent to a position facing the bottom surface 2A of the container body 2 where the fixing screw 4A exists is fixed to the mounting place with the fixing screw 4A at the bottom. using a container having a part 3 B, a method that is just the container body removing the pump 5 from the screw 3A provided in the opening 3 B remains fixed with fixing screws 4A, to replenish the contents from the opening 3 B Since it is adopted, replenishment work can be performed easily. Further, since the container 1 is fixed to the wash basin 8 which is a mounting place, there is no possibility of falling and spilling during refilling.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the container 11 according to the present embodiment is a cosmetic product 7 in which a liquid cosmetic such as shampoo, rinse, liquid soap or the like is contained, and a cap 6 is provided in the opening 3B of the container body 2 in place of the pump 5. Can also be distributed.

In this case, the empty container 1 is removed from the container attachment member 9, and the container body 2 of the cosmetic product 7 is fixed to a container attachment screw (female screw) (not shown) of the container attachment member 9 from which the container 1 has been removed. screws 4 a is screwed and then the container body attached to the newly container mounting member 9 of the pump 5 has been removed from the container 1 that used the cap 6 from the container body 2 of a new container 1 to remove, instead now The container is exchanged by a method of attaching to the second opening 3B.

As described above, when the contents of the opening 3 B are put into the container body 2 provided with the fixing screws 4 A so as to protrude from the bottom surface 2 A of the container body 2 and the cap is covered with the cap, the pump is reused. Not only is it preferable, but also the cost of filling and logistics can be reduced.

  In addition, since the container body is fixed when the cap is removed and replaced with a pump, there is no risk that the contents will be spilled by accidentally falling over.

  In the container of the present invention, the container body can have various shapes.

For example, a sphere, can be provided fixing screw 4A the bottom an opening 3 B thereon. In this case, it is preferable to arrange the opening 3 B and the fixing screw 4 A so as to be positioned at both ends of the diameter.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the shape of the container body 22 is increased upward, and the height of the center of gravity when the contents are filled is higher than about one third from the upper end of the container body. It can also be a very unstable shape.

  In the present invention, since the container is fixed, various designs that are difficult for a normal container can be adopted without worrying about stability.

Further, the fixing screw provided on the bottom surface of the container may be a female screw of a type that enters the container main body 22 , and the container mounting member 9 side may be a male screw. By doing so, the screw is less likely to be broken when a strong lateral force is applied to the container.
In this case, when the liquid introduction tube 5A extending from the pump 5 cannot suck the contents, the remaining amount becomes relatively large. Therefore, since it is not economical to provide a cosmetic product with a cap put in the container body as a replacement, the pump 5 is removed and opened in a state where the container body is fixed to the mounting place, that is, the container mounting member 9. part 3 preferably employed replenishment method of replenishing the contents from B. When not using this method, early replenishment is required.

  On the other hand, while the fixing screw 24A is a female screw, the one provided on the projection 24 protruding to the outside of the container body 22 as shown in FIG. 7 sucks up the contents extending from the pump as in the embodiment shown in FIG. Therefore, the liquid introduction end 5B of the liquid introduction tube 5A can reach the inside 24B of the lower protrusion, and therefore, the liquid can be discharged until the content is almost eliminated.

  Therefore, with the container body fixed to the mounting location, the pump can be removed and replenished from the opening. Alternatively, a container with the contents in the container body can be prepared and the container placed on the mounting location, that is, the mounting screw. The contents can be replenished by replacing them with good economic efficiency.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the container attaching member 19 may be attached to the wall surface 10 and the container 1 may be attached to the container attaching member 19. In this case, it may not be near the washstand. Moreover, the container attachment member 19 can also be provided in the wall surface etc. of a bathroom.
