Abstract

Disclosed is an ergonomically designed spray package, that is comfortable for the user to hold and easy to use. This package substantially conforms to the shape of the human hand and index finger. The shroud and actuator of the package allow the index finger to conform to the package in a natural position so that the package may be actuated substantially solely by movement of the tip of the index finger.

Description

The spray container that meets the ergonomics principle

The present invention relates to a kind of spray container, more particularly, relate to a kind of spray container with the feature that meets the ergonomics principle.

The shape and the different sizes of conventional spray container or aerosol cans, wherein great majority make the user use feeling under the weather.Some containers are more stupid, are difficult to hold with a hand.Have the shoulder regions that is acute angle between the actuator of other containers and vessel, this makes the user be difficult to touch with forefinger tip the top of actuator.Also have some containers to have the higher actuator that stretches out on the calm device shoulder regions, when this makes the user be difficult in to hold container body with palm area at least, touch the top of actuator comfily with forefinger tip; These containers force the user can only just can touch the top of actuator under the state that very comfortlessly forefinger is extended.

Therefore it is comfortable to wish have a kind of user of order to hold, use easily, and the spray container that adapts with staff and forefinger shape substantially.

Here disclose a kind of spray container that meets the ergonomics principle, it comprises the cylindrical container body with top and closed bottom, and container body has about 1 inch to 3 inches diameter.Container also comprises a cover cap, and it has a top, a bottom and an outside face, and the cover cap bottom is connected to the top of container body, and the outside face of cover cap is to evagination, and radius is about the 5-10 inch, adapts with the forefinger shape of people on the cover cap outside face.Comprise that also movably is connected to the jet actuator that the cover cap top is gone up and extended thereon, actuator has a top surface, and it is made with 10-45 degree inclination angle at least in part so that adapt with the staff finger tip that is positioned on the actuator end face.Position that actuator, cover cap and container body combine and shape make that staff can be easily and the container body of cosily holding with a firm grip, and only can depress jet actuator by the motion of forefinger basically.

Specification sheets with claims ending has clearly illustrated the present invention, and the following explanation of being done in conjunction with the drawings can have better understanding to the present invention, wherein,

Fig. 1 is the front elevation of the present invention by the spray container of ergonomics principle design;

Fig. 2 illustrates the container body among the Fig. 1 that is held in the hand by the user, wherein the position of actuator on leaning on most;

Fig. 3 shows the container body among the Fig. 1 that is held in the hand by the user, and wherein actuator is pressed.

See accompanying drawing for details, the identical parts of identical numerical code expression among each figure.Fig. 1 illustrates the embodiment 10 of the spray container of the embodiment of the invention.Container 10 has container body 12, cover region 14 and actuator 16.Container body 12 generally is cylindrical, and diameter is the 1-3 inch, is preferably 1.5 inches.

Cover region 14 is roughly coniform, has one to seamlessly transit from the diameter of container body to the actuator diameter, and outside face is protruding; The radius of cover cap 14 convex surfaces is preferably the 5-10 inch, is preferably 7 inches.Actuator 16 generally is cylindrical, but its top surface has crooked depression 18 so that hold people's forefinger tip.Bent recess becomes 10-45 degree angle with level, be preferably 30 degree.

Referring to Fig. 2, this structure of container can make the user easily container body 12 be held in palm, as shown in the figure, clamps it with thumb and three outer fingers simultaneously.This moment, forefinger can be positioned at the outside face of cover cap 14 comfily, and forefinger tip is positioned on the bent recess on actuator 16 tops naturally.As shown in Figure 3, this makes and only just can realize activating with forefinger tip.

Illustrated specific embodiment of the present invention at this, the insider should understand, can make all changes within the spirit and scope of the present invention, and present invention resides in all these schemes in its scope.
