Abstract

This content-accommodating container comprises: a container body having an opening at the top end; and a valve-accommodating part for closing the opening, the valve-accommodating part being fixed to the container body. The valve-accommodating part is provided with: a cylindrical housing part accommodated inside the container body; a tube part extending downward from the housing part, the lower end thereof being disposed near the bottom side of the container body; and a first sealing part for closing the bottom end of the tube part.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A content-accommodating product, which is used by attaching a removable valve member having a valve mechanism,
 wherein the content-accommodating product comprises a content-accommodating container, and a concentrate and a compressed gas or a liquid gas filled in the content accommodating container,   wherein the content accommodating container comprises a container body having an opening, and a tubular valve accommodating portion for accommodating the valve mechanism,   wherein the valve accommodating portion is fixed to the container body and closes the opening of the container body, and   wherein the valve accommodating portion has a communicating portion to communicate with a liquid phase of the container body and a first unsealing portion to close the communicating portion.   
     
     
         2 . The content-accommodating product according to  claim 1 , wherein the valve accommodating portion includes:
 a tubular housing portion which accommodates the valve mechanism; and   a tube portion extending downward from the housing portion and communicating with the liquid phase of the container body at a lower end of the tube portion,   wherein the valve accommodating portion is provided with the first unsealing portion which closes a lower opening of the housing portion,   wherein the housing portion is fixed to the opening of the container body, and   wherein the lower end of the tube portion is the communicating portion of the valve accommodating portion.   
     
     
         3 . The content-accommodating product according to  claim 1 , wherein the valve accommodating portion is provided with a gas introducing passage to communicate with a gas phase of the container body, and a check valve which closes the gas introducing passage, allows a fluid flow to the container body, and blocks a fluid flow to outside air. 
     
     
         4 . The content-accommodating product according to  claim 1 , wherein the first unsealing portion is provided in a position corresponding to a lower end of the valve member, when the valve member is attached. 
     
     
         5 . A discharge product comprising a content-accommodating product which is used by attaching a removable valve member having a valve mechanism, and a discharge device attached to the content-accommodating product,
 wherein the content-accommodating product comprises a content-accommodating container, and a concentrate and a compressed gas or a liquid gas filled in the content-accommodating container,   wherein the content-accommodating container comprises a container body having an opening, and a tubular valve accommodating portion for accommodating the valve mechanism, wherein the valve accommodating portion is fixed to the container body and closes the opening of the container body, wherein the valve accommodating portion has a communicating portion to communicate with a liquid phase of the container body and a first unsealing portion to close the communicating portion,   wherein the discharge device is provided with the valve member comprising a valve housing accommodated in the valve accommodating portion, and the valve mechanism accommodated in the valve housing, and wherein the valve housing has a lower end to unseal the first unsealing portion of the content-accommodating container.   
     
     
         6 . The discharge product according to  claim 5 , wherein the valve member comprises a cap for fixing the valve housing to the content-accommodating container,
 wherein the cap is fixed to the container body.   
     
     
         7 . The discharge product according to  claim 5 , wherein the valve mechanism is an aerosol valve mechanism which comprises a stem, a stem rubber closing the stem hole thereof, and a spring energizing the stem upward. 
     
     
         8 . The discharge product according to  claim 7 , wherein the valve mechanism is provided with an auxiliary pump mechanism to compress a storing space of the concentrate inside the valve housing. 
     
     
         9 . The discharge product according to  claim 8 , wherein the auxiliary pump mechanism comprises the valve housing and a piston which slides inside the valve housing in conjunction with the stem, when the stem of the aerosol valve mechanism is pushed down more than a prescribed amount. 
     
     
         10 . The discharge product according to  claim 9 , wherein a gas phase communicating hole which communicates the gas phase of the container body with outside air is formed in the valve housing, and wherein the gas phase communicating hole is closed by the piston, when the auxiliary pump mechanism is not operating, and is opened by the operation of the piston. 
     
     
         11 . The discharge product according to  claim 8 , further comprising a switch to operate the auxiliary pump mechanism. 
     
     
         12 . The discharge product according to  claim 5 , further comprising a seal material which is compressed between the outer surface of the valve housing and an inner surface of the valve accommodating portion. 
     
     
         13 . The content-accommodating product according to  claim 1 , wherein the first unsealing portion is unsealed by attaching the valve member to the tubular valve accommodating portion. 
     
     
         14 . The content-accommodating product according to  claim 2 , wherein the first unsealing portion is unsealed by attaching the valve member to the tubular valve accommodating portion, and
 wherein the first unsealing portion is spaced apart from the lower end of the tube portion.
