Abstract
A mixing and discharge device is provided, in which contents are ejected from a pair of containers ( ) standing next to each other and are mixed and discharged outside of this device, by pressing down the discharge nozzles ( ) of said containers simultaneously with the manipulation of the thumb and a finger of the hand holding the containers. Said mixing and discharge device comprises an attachment ( ) to be fitted firmly around the top portion of the pair of said containers ( ), with respective discharge nozzles ( ) of the containers coming out of this attachment ( ); and a cap unit ( ) to be fitted detachably to the discharge nozzles ( ) and provided with a passage block ( ), which comprises a pair of step holes ( ) disposed in the areas near both sides, and into which the discharge nozzles ( ) are fitted tightly from underside, a discharge cylinder ( ) disposed at the center and on top of this cap unit ( ) to form a discharge port, and discharge passages ( ) for connecting this discharge port with the step holes ( ), wherein an actuating mechanism, with which to act a force to pull down the cap unit ( ) by the depressive operation of the manipulating plates ( ) in the lateral direction, is formed between a pair of manipulating plates ( ) hanging down from either one of the attachment ( ) or the cap unit ( ) and the portions facing these manipulating plates ( ) disposed on the other one of the attachment ( ) or the cap unit ( ). In this configuration, the portions with which to depress the discharge nozzles could have been displaced downward simply and stably.
