Abstract
A flexible container () includes a reservoir part () that reserves a liquid and a discharge passage part () that communicates with the reservoir part () to take out the liquid. A discharge pump includes a plurality of roller parts () that press the discharge passage part () and an endless transfer mechanism unit () that has the plurality of roller parts () attached at a predetermined interval and causes the roller parts () to go around. The endless transfer mechanism unit () has an arrangement including a straight-line portion in which the roller parts () linearly move, in a path of the go-around movement. An attachment interval of the plurality of roller parts () is set to such an interval that before a certain roller part () going around reaches a position where the certain roller part () does not press the discharge passage part (), a subsequent roller part () is able to reach a position where the subsequent roller part () presses the discharge passage part (). Each of the roller parts () linearly moves sequentially in a discharge direction of the liquid with respect to the discharge passage part () while pressing the discharge passage part ().
