The coupling is provided with a socket body having a first end portion, a second end portion and an axial hole open in the first and second end portions, a locking mechanism provided in the first end portion end of the socket body and releasably locking and engaging with the plug body, and a mounting member attached to the second end portion of the socket body in such a manner as to freely slide to an axial direction. The mounting member attaches the socket body to the spray can in a removable manner. Further, the coupling is provided with a pressing portion axially projecting from the second end portion of the socket body, the pressing portion being brought into contact with the front end portion of the nozzle when the spray can is axially pressed toward the second end portion of the socket body, thereby pressing the nozzle to the container portion end of the spray can.
