Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for applying sprayable Product, e.g. B. hair spray from an aerosol container, with a spray head and a tube piece axially displaceable in a housing of the spray head, one the pipe section against the housing and in the direction of actuation of the spray head returning first spring, a valve inside the aerosol container, which has a second spring which is used to reset the pipe section to Spray head is provided, as well as two in the direction of actuation consecutive nozzles, and each with an inlet channel for the Nozzles that can be connected to the pipe section via a feed line.
  • sprayable Product e.g. B. hair spray from an aerosol container
  • a device of this type is known from US Pat. No. 4,257,560, in which either a spray cone with a relatively large spray angle or a spray cone with a relatively small spray angle can be generated.
  • the valve In a In the starting position, the valve is closed and an inlet channel connects it Pipe piece with a lower nozzle of relatively large diameter. Will the Spray head pressed down, the second spring is compressed, one Valve opening in the aerosol container released and in the aerosol container located product through the pipe section, the feed line and the Inlet channel fed to the lower nozzle, so that a relatively wide spray cone is produced.
  • the invention is based on the object of a device at the outset described type to further develop that either single spray cone or two overlapping spray cones can be generated can.
  • the connecting channel can be implemented in a simple manner if it is a is annular recess in the outer region of the pipe section, the extension in the actuating direction is greater than or equal to the distance between the inlet channels (Claim 2).
  • the annular shape allows regardless of the rotational position of the Pipe section and thus the position of the inlet of the pipe section in the valve good functionality of the device. This facilitates their assembly.
  • a desired spray jet width can be achieved by means of this angle be specified. Angles between 6 and 20 degrees turn out to be favorable to achieve a relatively uniform, widened spray pattern (claim 4). An optimized spray pattern is achieved at an angle of 12 degrees. Here the result is an easy to use, almost elliptical Spray cone cross section.
  • a device 1 for dispensing sprayable product from a Aerosol container 2 has a spray head 3 and an axially in a housing 4 Slidable pipe section 5 on ( Figure 1).
  • the pipe section 5 is against that Housing 4 and in the direction of actuation of the spray head 3 by means of a first, upper spring 6 slidable in the spray head 3.
  • a valve 7 within the Aerosol container 2 has a second spring 8, which is weaker than the first Is spring 6, which is supported in the valve housing 9, and the pipe section 5 after presses up.
  • Two superimposed nozzles 10, 11 are each with one Inlet channel 10, 13 provided.
  • the inlet channels 12, 13 are in turn via a Connection channel 14 and a feed line 15 to the interior of the Pipe section 5 connected or connectable.
  • the connection channel 14 is through Moving the pipe section 5 relative to the spray head 3 optionally with only one Inlet channel 13 or simultaneously connectable to both inlet channels 12, 13 to supply only one nozzle 11 or both nozzles 10, 11 at the same time.
  • the connecting channel 14 is an annular recess in the outer region 16 of the pipe section 5, the extent of which is slightly larger in the actuating direction than the distance between the inlet channels 12, 13 to each other.
  • sealing element 17 provided the sealing element 17 on its side facing the pipe section 5 continuous groove and serving as feed line 15.
  • Similar nozzles 10, 11 are provided, which are at an angle 18 of 12 Degrees are aligned with each other.
  • valve 7 is opened and connecting channel 14 remains in it original position relative to the spray head 3.
  • located product passes through the valve opening 19, the Pipe section 5, the feed line 15, the connecting channel 14 and the lower Inlet channel 13 to the lower nozzle 11 and is not from there in the form of a shown spray cone, which has a horizontal axis, sprayed.
