Abstract

There is provided an aerosol container for automatic gas release by an easy action at the time of disposal. The aerosol container having a container body and a cap; said container body comprising an upstanding discharge head;
said cap comprising a peripheral wall and a top wall and being adapted to fit on an upper part of the container body, a portion of the peripheral wall or the top wall defining a folding plate surrounded by a breaking line and a bendable line such that the folding plate may be bent inwardly about the bendable line after breakage of the breaking line, the cap also comprising a stopper for fixing the folding plate into an inwardly bent position such that when the discharge head is depressed for gas release, the folding plate fixed in the inwardly bent position contacts with a top of the discharge head for maintaining a depressed position thereof, wherein the cap is so configured that an aperture (15) formed by bending the folding plate (17) inwardly acts as a gas release hole and also a finger receiving hole, a size of which is sufficiently great to receive a finger of an user, such that the folding plate (17) is capable of being fixed to the stopper (21) by pushing with the finger for breakage of breaking line (19), and then inserting the same finger further into the aperture (15).

Claims (8)

1. An aerosol container having a container body and a cap said container body comprising an upstanding discharge head said cap comprising a peripheral wall and a top wall and being adapted to fit on an upper part of the container body, a portion of the peripheral wall or the top wall defining a folding plate surrounded by a breaking line and a bendable line such that the folding plate may be bent inwardly about the bendable line after breakage of the breaking line, the cap also comprising a stopper for fixing the folding plate into an inwardly bent position such that when the discharge head is depressed for gas release, the folding plate fixed in the inwardly bent position contacts with a top of the discharge head for maintaining a depressed position thereof, wherein the cap is so configured that an aperture (15) formed by bending the folding plate (17) inwardly acts as a gas release hole and also a finger receiving hole, a size of which is sufficiently great to receive a finger of an user, such that the folding plate (17) is capable of being fixed to the stopper (21) by pushing with the finger for breakage of breaking line (19), and then inserting the same finger further into the aperture (15).
2. An aerosol container according to claim 1 characterized in that the folding plate (17) and the aperture (15) are formed at the top wall (14) of the cap and located eccentrically deviating from a longitudinal central axis (c) of the discharge head (3), while the bendable line (18) is formed on a portion of the aperture edge closer to the longitudinal central axis (c);
and in that a depression plate (20) is depending from the folding plate (17), while the stopper (21) is depending from the top wall (14) of the cap and arranged such that the bendable line (18) and the longitudinal axis (c) are located between the stopper and the depression plate (20);
and in that the folding plate (17) is movable between a first position where the folding plate (17) is generally flush with the top wall (14) of the cap and a second position where the folding plate (17) is extending towards an interior of the cap from the top wall, such that when the folding plate turns to the second position the stopper (21) locks the depression plate (20) in a place where the depression plate (20) contacts an upper surface of the discharge head (3) for maintaining a depressed state of the discharge head.
3. An aerosol container according to claim 1.
characterized in that the folding plate (17) and the aperture (15) are formed at the peripheral wall (12) of the cap: while the stopper (21) is depending from the top wall (14);
and in that the folding plate (17) is movable between a first position where the folding plate (17) is generally flush with the peripheral wall (12) and a second position where the folding plate (17) is protruding to an interior of the cap, such that when the folding plate turns to the second position, the stopper (21) locks the folding plate (17) in a place where the folding plate (17) contacts an upper surface of the discharge head (3) for maintaining a depressed state of the discharge head.
4. An aerosol container according to claim 3, characterized in that the bendable line (18) is formed between either of left and right margins of the aperture (15) and a end of the folding plate (17) adjacent thereto such that the folding plate (17) may turn about the bendable line (18) from the first position to the second position along a horizontal plane.
5. An aerosol container according to claim 3, characterized in that the bendable line (18) is formed between either of upper and lower margins of the aperture (15) and a end of the folding plate (17) adjacent thereto such that the folding plate (17) may turn about the bendable line (18) from the first position to the second position along a vertical plane.
6. An aerosol container according to claim 1, characterized in that the top wall (14) of the cap is provided with a pair of front and rear symmetric apertures (15),(15) separated by a partition plate (31) and a pair of folding plates (17), (17) which are connected at respective margins thereof to both sides of the partition plate (31) via the bendable line (18), and in that the folding plates (17),(17) are provided at their respective lower surfaces with first and second fitting means (32), (33) such that when upper surfaces of the folding plates (17),(17) are depressed by two fingers of the user to break the breaking lines (19), (19), the folding plates (17) (17) turn from a first position where the folding plates (17),(17) are flush with the top wall (14) to a second position where the folding plates are extending downward, and that the first and second fitting means (32),(33) are engaged each other by inserting the two fingers into the apertures respectively to nip the folding plates therebetween;
and in that each of the folding plates (17),(17) serves as a stopper to fix the other of the folding plates in a vertical posture by engagement of the first and second fitting means (32),(33) so that lower ends of the mutually integrated folding plates in a fixed posture may contact the upper surface of the discharge head (3) to maintain the depressed state of the discharge head (3).
7 An aerosol container according to claim 6, characterized in that each said folding plate (17) is flexible and has a fixed end (17a) and a free end (17b) between which a rotation radius is defined, said rotation radius is sufficiently great such that when the folding plates are pressed towards an interior of the cap fitted on the aerosol container, the free end (17b) contacts with a corner (6) at a sidewall surface of the discharge head (3), and in that the free end (17b) may forcibly ride over the corner (6) due to flexion of the folding plate (17) by nipping the folding plates in contact with the corners (6),(6) inserted trough the apertures for depressing the discharge head (3).
8 An aerosol container according to claim 7, characterized in that a chamfer portion (35) for facilitating the free end (17b) of the folding plate (17) to ride over the corner (6) of the discharge head (3) is formed at least either one of the corner (6) and the free end (1?b) at a location where the free end and the corner come into contact with each other.
