ている。This manual operation is time-consuming, tiring, and frequently annoying and headache-inducing. To circumvent this problem, some users remove the pump and pour out the desired amount of liquid through an opening in the neck of the container. In addition to the time required to optimally attach and detach the pump, this procedure has many attendant problems. When the pump is removed from the container, solution adhering to the pump's draw tube can inadvertently drip onto various surfaces. The removed pump is
They are often distorted, screwed up, lost, or placed in another container, significantly compromising the intended and effective distribution of the product.

Therefore, the present invention provides a shared distributor that can bypass or supplement the pump discharge network. Spout part 24
As shown in FIG. 2, it extends from the container 14 and further extends slightly behind the periphery of the edge retainer 22. Of course, the spouting part does not protrude from the edge restraint. Therefore, the liquid is poured into spout 2
It is poured out from the container 14 via 6.

A snap hinge 16 is shown having a portion 32. This first part 30 is immovably mounted on the edge stop 22 of the pump distributor. Figure 1O shows a preferred attachment structure that is removable as described below, but forms a fixed connection plug for repeated use. This snap hinge is bridged between a first part 30 and a second part 32 by a connecting link 34 with two stable points. The hinge rests naturally in the open position shown in FIGS. 3-5 and in the closed position shown in FIG. 6.

Referring to the figures and FIG. 9, it is preferable to have a substantially triangular cross section. The flange 42 is adapted to engage an inner lip 46 of the edge stop forming a snap-lock or radiet-type fixed interengagement. When the hinge 16 snaps closed, the beveled side 48 of the flange first contacts the innermost edge of the lip 46. By applying pressure to the flat surfaces 38, the plastic flanges and lips yield resiliently, causing each flange to engage a respective lip 46. During closure, the protruding edge 44 is aligned with the spout 26.

いる。FIG. 1O shows a preferred means of attaching the snap hinge 16 to the pump distributor lip stop 22. A pair of mounting holes in the edge retainer correspond with mounting studs 58 in the first portion of the snap hinge 16. An inflatable lip (not shown) is located at the outermost end of each plastic piece. A raised stud 58 is rigidly secured to the snap hinge 16 at the edge stop 22 and forms a mount that securely attaches the first portion 30 of the hinge to the edge stop 22 during normal use. The described fittings facilitate assembly of the pump distributor.

The hinge stops in these positions. Deviations from these positions tend to increase fatigue in the link and cause the link to deform outwardly, causing the hinge to return to its other position.
