A pumping container for blocking air comprises: a container for accommodating liquid contents; a pumping cap, coupled to an inlet of the container, for discharging the contents accommodated in the container to the outside according to a pumping operation; a suction line, coupled to the pumping cap, for sucking in the contents according to the operation of a pumping part; and an air blocking member for preventing the contents remaining in the container from making contact with air, by receiving and collecting air on the inside thereof in a volume equal to that of the contents discharged from the container by the pumping operation. Since the pumping container for blocking air, configured as described above, can always keep the contents accommodated in the container sealed from the outside so as not to be in contact with air, it is possible to prevent the problem of the shelf life of the contents rapidly shortening due to the decomposition or oxidation by contamination of the contents.

1. A container assembly comprising: a container body for containing a liquid therein, the container body having an open top portion;a pumping assembly coupled to the container body to block the open top portion, wherein the pumping assembly is configured to discharge the liquid in the container body via a pumping operation thereof, and includes a coupling cap coupled to the container body at the open top portion thereof, the coupling cap having at least one air hole formed therein;a suction line fluid-communicatively coupled to the pumping assembly, wherein the suction line is disposed in the container body and is configured to suction the liquid via the pumping operation; andan air confinement and inflatable member coupled to the coupling cap, wherein the air confinement and inflatable member is received in the container body, and has an inner space fluid-communicatively coupled to the air hole,wherein the container assembly is configured such that the pumping operation of the pumping assembly enables an air to flow from an outside of the container body via the hole into the container body,wherein the air confinement and inflatable member is configured to prevent the air flowing into the container body via the pumping operation from contacting the liquid in the container body,wherein the air confinement and inflatable member is configured to be inflatable by a degree proportional to the air intake into the container body via the pumping operation,wherein the inner space of the air confinement and inflatable member is always in fluid communication with an air surrounding the container assembly through the at least one air hole which is always open,wherein the at least one air hole introduces the air surrounding the container assembly at atmospheric pressure into the inner space of the air confinement and inflatable member during the pumping operation of the pumping assembly, andwherein a lower end of the air confinement and inflatable member is integrally coupled to an outer surface of a lower part of the suction line. 2. The assembly of claim 1, wherein an O-ring is fitted between the top portion of the container body, the air confinement and inflatable member and the coupling cap.
