Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a holding and actuating device for holding and actuating a pressurized can.
  • US Patent No. 5819985 Disclosed in US Patent No. 5819985 is an actuating and holding device 10 for holding and actuating a can 12.
  • the can 12 includes a push-button valve 14 and an annular rim 26.
  • the actuating and holding device 10 includes a body 16 and a locking ring 38.
  • the body 16 includes a handle 18 and a forward portion 20.
  • the forward portion 20 includes an engagement element 22 for engagement with the annular rim 26 of the can 12.
  • the engagement element 22 includes a gap 24 defined therein, cam surfaces 52 formed on an external edge and a slot 46 defined in the external edge.
  • the locking ring 38 includes a straight portion 40, two prongs 44 extended from an internal edge and an engagement finger 48 extended from the internal edge.
  • the engagement finger 48 is located corresponding to the straight portion 40.
  • the locking ring 38 is installed around the engagement element 22.
  • the internal edge of the locking ring 38 is in compliance with the external edge of the engagement element 22 including the cam surfaces 52.
  • the prongs 44 are inserted in the slot 46.
  • the locking ring 38 is not rotational relative to the engagement element 22.
  • This conventional actuating and holding device 10 There are problems encountered in the use of this conventional actuating and holding device 10. Firstly, it is not durable.
  • the engagement element 22 is made of plastic.
  • the cam surfaces 52 are worn away after some time of use so that the contact between the external edge of the engagement element 22 and the internal edge of the locking ring 38 is loose.
  • the engagement finger 48 must be pushed downwards so that the prongs 44 can be inserted into the slot 46.
  • the engagement finger 48 must be pushed upwards so that the prongs 44 can be removed from the slot 46. Space around the engagement finger 48 is however limited and renders it difficult to operate the engagement finger 48.
  • the locking ring 38 is arranged around the engagement element 22 after the engagement element 22 is arranged around the annular rim 26.
  • the area of the locking ring 38 and that of the engagement element 22 are limited and renders it difficult to operate the locking ring 38 and the engagement element 22.
  • the present invention is intended to obviate or at least alleviate the problems encountered in prior art.
  • a device for holding and actuating a can.
  • the can includes a neck, a rim formed on the neck, a push-button valve and a nozzle installed on the push-button valve.
  • the device includes a body, a holder and a trigger.
  • the body includes a handle and a connective portion extended from the handle.
  • the holder is arranged on the connective portion of the body and formed with two jaws for clipping the neck of the can and for supporting the rim of the can.
  • the trigger is installed on the handle and formed with a first end to be operated by a user's finger and a second end inserted into the holder for pushing the push-button valve of the can.
  • An advantage of the holding and actuating device according to the present invention is the simple structure because the elements are made in one piece.
  • Another advantage of the holding and actuating device according to the present invention is durability since most of the elements are made in one piece and are not worn away against one another.
  • Yet another advantage of the holding and actuating device according to the present invention is convenient operation because the jaws can be much opened for receiving the neck of the bottle.
  • the holding and actuating device is used to hold and actuate a can 50 that contains pressurized spray.
  • the can 50 includes a neck 52 of a reduced size, a rim 53 formed around the neck 52, a push-button valve 54 installed on the neck 52 and a nozzle 51 installed on the push-button valve 54.
  • the holding and actuating device includes a body 10, a holder 13 installed on the body 10 and a trigger 20 installed on the body 10.
  • the holder 13 is used to hold the rim 53.
  • the trigger 20 is used to actuate the push-button valve 54.
  • the body 10 includes two halves 11 joined together. Each of the halves 11 of the body 10 includes a half of a handle 12 and a half of a connective portion 14 extended from the half of the handle 12. The connective portion defines an opening 15 for receiving the holder 13.
  • the trigger 20 is installed on the handle.
  • the holder 13 is in the form of a clip.
  • the holder 13 includes two jaws 134 and two handles 133.
  • Each of the jaws 134 and a related one of the halves of the connective portion 14 are preferably made as one piece. However, each of the jaws 134 and a related one of the halves of the connective portion 14 may be made separately and then connected to each other.
  • a slit 15 is defined between a portion of each of the jaws 134 and a portion of a related of the halves of the connective portion 14 for increasing the flexibility.
  • the jaws 134 are pivotally connected to each other by a pin 40.
  • Each of the handles 133 is extended from a related one of the jaws 134.
  • An elastic element 30 is arranged between the handles 133.
  • the elastic element 30 is preferably a torque spring.
  • the jaws 134 define a space 130 and an aperture 131 in communication with the space 130.
  • Each of the jaws 134 includes a support surface 135 for supporting the rim 53 of the can 50 and a plurality of buckles 136 extended from the support surface 135.
  • Each of the buckles 136 includes a base 138 extended from the support surface 135 and a tip 137 extended from the base 138.
  • the trigger 20 includes a first end 21 located in front of the handle and a second end 22 extended through the opening 15.
  • the first end 21 of the trigger 20 is to be operated by a user's finger.
  • the second end 22 of the trigger 20 is used to push the push-button valve 54.
  • the handles 133 are pushed towards each other so that the jaws 134 are opened, and a gap 139 is defined between the jaws 134.
  • the jaws 134 are arranged around the neck 52, and the support surfaces 135 are located beneath a lower surface of the rim 53.
  • the handles 133 are released so that the jaws 134 are closed due to the elasticity of the jaws 134 and that of the elastic element 30.
  • the neck 52 is clipped by the jaws 134.
  • the lower surface of the rim 53 is located on the support surfaces 135, and an upper surface of the rim 53 is located beneath the tips 137 of the buckles 136.
  • the rim 53 is clipped by the bases 138 of the buckles 136.
  • the can 50 is held by the holding and actuating device.
  • the first end 21 of the trigger 20 is not pushed, and the push-button valve 54 is not pushed by the second end 22 of the trigger 20.
  • the first end 21 of the trigger 20 is pushed so that the push-button valve 54 is pushed by the second end 22 of the trigger 20. Spray leaves the nozzle 51 and further travels through the aperture 131.
  • FIG. 9 through 11 there is shown a holding and actuating device according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
  • the second embodiment is identical to the first embodiment except including a holder 60 instead of the holder 13.
  • the holder 60 includes two jaws 62 and two handles 63.
  • the holder 60 is like the holder 13 except that the jaws 62 and the handles 63 are pivotal in a vertical plane while the jaws 134 and the handles 133 are pivotal in a horizontal plane.
  • the handles 63 are released so that the jaws 62 are closed.
  • the neck 52 is clipped by the jaws 62.
  • the handles 63 are pushed towards each other so that the jaws 62 are opened, and there is a gap 64 defined between the jaws 62.
  • the jaws 62 are arranged around the neck 52.
  • FIG. 12 through 14 there is shown a holding and actuating device according to a third embodiment of the present invention.
  • the third embodiment is like the first embodiment except including a C-clip 32 arranged on the jaws 134 instead of the torque spring 30 arranged between the handles 133.
  • the C-clip 32 includes two halves each located in a groove 34 defined in a related one of the jaws 134.
  • the holding and actuating device exhibits several advantages. Firstly, it is structurally simple for most of the elements are made in one piece. Secondly, it is robust for most of the elements are made in one piece and are not worn away against one another. Thirdly, it provides convenient operation because the jaws can be much opened for receiving the neck of the bottle and because the handles provide large areas for contact with a user's fingers.
