[0064] In the cap body 510 of the cap part 500, as illustrated in FIG. 5, a plurality of partition walls 511 are provided, and water stored in the base body 110 may be discharged through a plurality of discharge holes 512 partitioned by the plurality of partition walls 511.

[0065] A front end portion of the air passage 520 of the cap part 500 is provided to be cut, as illustrated in FIG. 3, so that the movement of air may be made more smoothly.

[0066] In the embodiment, one end portion of the air passage 520 may be coupled to the opening/closing body 330, as illustrated in FIG. 3, and the air flowing into or out of the air passage 520 may be supplied to the connection rod 340 through the inside of the opening/closing body 330.

[0067] As described above, according to the embodiments, one side portion is floated by water stored in the main body and the other side portion is connected to the connector part so as to prevent water from flowing into the air passage by the water inflow prevention part that prevents the water from flowing into the passage of air to be discharged through the connector part and the opening/closing part, thereby discharging rapidly a large amount of water.

[0068] In addition, the main body can be used as a water bottle like an outdoor water purifier in addition to the basic uses by the first and second flat parts provided on the main body.

[0069] Furthermore, according to the embodiments, when the second flat part is mounted and used on the mounting holder, it is possible to prevent leakage of the water by using water or closing the opening/closing part while the opening/closing part is opened.

[0070] As described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein, and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications maybe made without departing from the spirit and the scope of the present invention. Therefore, it will be understood that these changed examples or modified examples are included in the appended claims of the present invention.
