  4. In paragraph 1, The longitudinal section of the connecting part having a cylindrical shape has a first area, the longitudinal section of the first and second actuator parts has a second area, and the first area is formed to be smaller than the second area. If no external force is applied to the elastic member through the second actuator part, the connection part is positioned at a location corresponding to the inlet hole, and A dispenser in which, when an external force is applied to the elastic member through the second actuator part, the connection part is positioned at a location corresponding to the discharge hole.
  5. In paragraph 1, A dispenser in which the discharge hole is formed in an elongated shape and the long axis of the discharge hole is formed in a direction perpendicular to the driving direction of the actuator.
  6. In paragraph 1, A dispenser in which the first actuator part, the connecting part, and the second actuator part are integrally formed.
  7. In paragraph 1, In the front plate of the main body facing the rear plate, an elongated hole is formed in a direction upright relative to the ground, and A dispenser having a transparent window that blocks the hole disposed on the inner side of the front plate.
  8. In paragraph 1, A dispenser in which a burr is formed around the discharge hole in a direction from the inner surface of the sub-body toward the outer surface of the sub-body.
  9. In paragraph 1, A male screw portion is formed on the remaining part of the outer surface of the above-mentioned connecting portion that does not correspond to the inlet hole, and a concave female screw portion is formed on the first actuator portion to be screw-fastened with the male screw portion. A dispenser in which the gap between the first and second actuator parts is adjusted by the rotation of the second actuator part, thereby adjusting the volume of the liquid storage space.

Description

Dispenser The present invention relates to a dispenser for dispensing liquid. Generally, a dispenser refers to a device capable of discharging liquid from inside a container to outside of a container. Dispensers are mainly used to dispense various liquids necessary for daily life and hygiene, such as dish soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, liquid soap, and hand sanitizer. A common method of dispensing dispensers involves applying pressure directly to the liquid contained inside the container to discharge it to the outside. For example, such dispensers are widely used to dispense shampoo, conditioner, and hand sanitizer. Registered Patent 10-1739819, a dispenser combined with a lid for quantitatively supplying liquid (registration date May 19, 2017), discloses a technology that allows a desired amount of liquid to be received through the lid while pressing the body of a container (10) installed upside down, and prevents the lid from being unauthorizedly separated from the container so that foreign substances or other types of liquids cannot be contained in the container, and allows the liquid dispenser to be easily fixed and detached from a wall. However, since the liquid is dispensed by applying pressure directly to the container by the user, the liquid may be wasted if too much liquid is dispensed from the container due to the pressure provided by the user, or the liquid may be dispensed too little, causing the user to feel inconvenienced, such as having to apply pressure to the container again. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a dispenser according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of Figure 1. Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II' of Figure 1. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing an excerpt of the subbody illustrated in FIG. 3.
