Pump dispenser for bottle

Main body of pump dispenser

A foam dispensing container () has a container body () that reserves a liquid agent (L); a head part () that has an outlet (), and dispenses the liquid agent (L) delivered from the container body () through the outlet () into foam; and a pump head part () that allows dispensing of a predetermined amount of the foamy liquid agent (foam) through the outlet () each time it accepts a user's operation. The outlet () is formed with a contiguous geometry narrowed from an intended shape. A foam, dispensed through the outlet () as a result of a single or multiple operations of the pump head part (), is built up into the intended shape in a plan view seen in the dispensing direction.

A lower face of a base body () includes a wave-like corrugated surface portion () of which cross-section in a direction perpendicular to a predetermined direction along which cleaning is performed with a cleaning device body () in a planar view is wave-shaped as having a ridge portion () and a valley portion () arranged alternately and continuously. The valley portion () of the wave-like corrugated surface portion () includes an oblique valley portion () of which end part is opened to a side portion of the base body () facing to the predetermined direction as being extended obliquely against the predetermined direction to obliquely guide objects such as dust to be stuck to a cleaning sheet () in accordance with wiping of the surface to be cleaned.

Cleaning device

A cleaning implementincluding a cleaning articlehaving a pocketand a holderadapted to be inserted into the pocketto hold the cleaning article. The pocketof the cleaning articlehas a counter bumping portionin the middle between the inlet opening at one end and the opposing end thereof. The holderincludes a handle, an insertion portionextending from one end of the handle, and a retaining meansfor retaining the vicinity of the inlet opening of the cleaning article. The insertion portionhas a bumping portionthat allows the insertion portionto be inserted into the pocketwith no substantial obstruction until it reaches a bumping position where it bumps against the counter bumping portionand then restricts further insertion beyond the bumping position. The cleaning articleis substantially prevented from moving between the bumping portionand the retaining meanswhen it has the insertion portioninserted into the pocketand is retained by the retaining means
