A content discharge mechanism of a pump type container, which prevents the position of a content discharge outlet from moving following discharge operation is disclosed. The mechanism includes an operation button 1; a sheath-shaped piston 2 interlocking with the operation button 1; a suction valve including annular reception surface 3c and spherical body 5 actuated in response to the movement of the sheath-shaped piston 2; an upstream passage A formed between the sheath-shaped piston 2 and the suction valve; a downstream passage B communicated with the upstream passage A and formed between it and a discharge outlet 8b; and a pressure storage type discharge valve including annular edge part 8a and annular tapered surface 9a. In a discharge finishing mode, the pressure in the contents is lowered by permitting the downstream side passage B to be communicated with a passage outside space region E via a hole 3f, to close the discharge valve.
