Abstract
An aerosol container (10) has a positive actuating structure. The aerosol container is comprised of a body section (12) and a dispensing section (14). The body section has an aerosol container with a valve at an end that is adjacent the dispensing section. The dispensing section has an enclosing unit (14a) and an actuating unit (14b) with an actuating channel (22) to receive the finger (15) of a person to actuate the actuating unit (14b). The actuating unit fits into the enclosing unit (14a). The actuator channel (22) extends through the dispensing section, at least part of the lower part of the actuator channel being flexible and in contact with the valve of the aerosol container (10). The actuator channel can be entirely of a flexible material which directly contacts the aerosol valve or be a part of a semi-rigid to rigid material which directly contacts the aerosol valve. Upon depressing the actuator channel (22) the aerosol valve is actuated and product flows from the body section through the dispensing section to a dispensing aperture.
Claims (20)
1. An aerosol dispensing container comprising a body section and a dispensing section the body section comprising a container having an aerosol valve at one end, the dispensing section comprising an enclosing unit and an actuating unit, the actuating unit adjacent the aerosol valve of the body section the enclosing unit attaching the actuating unit to the body section the actuating unit having a dispensing aperture and an actuating aperture, the actuating aperture sized to receive a finger of a person, the dispensing aperture in communication with the aerosol valve, the actuating aperture extending through said dispensing section to form an actuating channel, at least a lower portion of said actuating channel being flexible and contacting the aerosol valve on the body section.
2. An aerosol container as in claim 1 wherein each of the enclosing unit and the actuating unit have an aperture sized to receive the finger of a person the actuating unit fitting within the enclosing unit to form the dispensing section and a unitary actuating aperture.
3. An aerosol container as in claim 1 wherein the lower portion of the actuating channel is comprised of a flexible material.
4. An aerosol container as in claim 3 wherein more than the lower portion of the actuating channel is comprised of a flexible material.
5. An aerosol container as in claim 4 wherein the entire actuating channel is comprised of a flexible material
6. An aerosol container as in claim 3 wherein the flexible material lower portion of the actuating channel is in direct contact with the aerosol valve of the of the container body to thereby actuate the aerosol valve when the actuating channel is depressed.
7. An aerosol container as in claim 6 wherein the dispensing aperture is located below the actuating aperture.
8. An aerosol container as in claim 1 wherein the lower portion of the actuating channel is comprised of a flexing rigid to semi-rigid material, the flexing rigid to semi-rigid material attached to a support wall, the support wall flexing when the flexible material on the upper surface of the flexing rigid to semi-rigid material is depressed to thereby actuate the aerosol valve.
9. An aerosol container as in claim 8 wherein rigid to semi-rigid material, the flexing rigid to semi-rigid material has a covering of a flexible material..
10. An aerosol container as in claim 8 wherein the cantilevered rigid to semi-rigid material is cantilevered from the support wall adjacent to the dispensing aperture.
11. An aerosol container as in claim 10 wherein the support wall is at the periphery of the actuator unit.
12. An aerosol container as in claim 8 wherein the dispensing aperture is located below the actuating aperture
13. An aerosol container as in claim 1 wherein said dispensing section has a rear surface that is concave and a front dispensing surface that is at an angle to the axis of the dispensing section
14. An aerosol container as in claim 6 wherein said dispensing section has a rear surface that is concave and a front dispensing surface that is at an angle to the axis of the dispensing section
15 An aerosol container as in claim 8 wherein said dispensing section has a rear surface that is concave and a front dispensing surface that is at an angle to the axis of the dispensing section
16. An aerosol container as in claim 1 wherein the actuating unit is comprised of a thermoplastic and an elastomer.
17. An aerosol container as in claim 16 wherein said actuating channel of the actuating unit is comprised of an elastomer on the inner surface of a thermoplastic forming the actuating channel.
18. An aerosol container as in claim 16 wherein said actuating channel of the actuating unit is comprised of an elastomer.
19. An aerosol container as in claim 18 wherein said elastomer is selected from a synthetic rubber a natural rubber or a combination of a natural rubber and a synthetic rubber.
20. An aerosol container as in claim 1 wherein said enclosing unit is comprised of a thermoplastic.
