And a measuring cylinder member having a measuring chamber communicating with the inside of the container body through the communication hole and a discharge hole communicating with the measuring chamber at the top, A coating plug provided in the chamber and having a tip protruding outward from the discharge hole and detachably attached to the measuring cylinder member to close the discharge hole, and with the separation from the measuring cylinder member, An overcap that moves the coating stopper to the front side that is the top side of the measuring cylinder member along the container axial direction, and the coating stopper includes the inside of the container body through the communication hole, the measuring chamber, Valve that switches between communication and disconnection The applicator plug has a measuring position in which the inside of the container main body and the measuring chamber are communicated by the measuring valve in a state where the overcap is mounted on the measuring cylinder member; Moves in the container axial direction between the measurement completion position where communication between the inside of the container main body and the measurement chamber is blocked by the measurement valve while being separated from the cylindrical member and positioned in front of the measurement position. The overcap is provided with a grounding portion facing the front side.

In this case, the grounding part of the overcap that is attached to the measuring cylinder member and has the application stopper positioned at the measurement position is grounded, and the content in the container body is allowed to flow into the measurement chamber through the communication hole, and then the application container is removed. Invert in the container axis direction. Thereby, surplus contents in the measurement chamber can be allowed to flow through the communication hole into the container body.
Thereafter, the overcap is removed from the measuring cylinder member, the application plug is advanced to the measuring completion position, and the communication between the inside of the container body and the measuring chamber is blocked by the measuring valve. Thereby, the outflow of the contents from the measurement chamber into the container main body and the inflow of the contents from the container main body into the measurement chamber are regulated, and the contents are measured in the measurement chamber.
