- the ring has an internal ratching rim with a peripheral crimp of the housing.
- the invention applies to a diffuser housing equipped with a cover comprising one or other of the features of the invention.
- Figure 1 a perspective view of an aerosol casing and a hood of the invention
- FIG. 2 a perspective view from above of a hood according to an exemplary embodiment dismounted;
- FIG. 6 an alternative embodiment of the base of FIG. 2.
- the invention relates to a safety cover for an aerosol casing 100 of known type such as for example shown in FIG.
- the casing 100 is a cylindrical casing having an axial valve 101 in a cup crimped at the top of a dome 103 itself crimped onto the body of the casing 100.
- the valve comprises a product outlet tube 102.
- the safety cover 1 On the housing is fixed the safety cover 1 itself shaped dome.
- the cover snaps onto the seam 110 between the housing and the dome and / or seam 105 between the cup and the dome as will be seen below.
- the cover 1 is provided at its top with an axial opening 3 for access to an axial diffuser device 4 which is mounted on the outlet tube 102 of the valve 101 in the extension of an axis of revolution of the housing and which allows the outlet of the product to be sprayed.
- the hood is provided with a lateral opening 2 closed or opened by means of a flap 5, internal to the hood and operable between a position of masking of the lateral opening and a position of free access to the lateral opening.
- the opening gives access to a pusher 6 for operating the valve 101 of the housing through the axial diffuser 4 comprising a tube that traditionally receives the outlet tube of the valve, the maneuvering of the pusher to push in the valve tube to open it.
- the cover has a base
- the lid forms an upper part of the dome and has the axial opening 3 facing the outlet of the diffuser 4 and which allows the output of the product to be sprayed.
- the axial opening 3 in the lid is a circular opening whose edge extends towards the inside of the lid by an annular wall 32 in the form of a chimney.
- the lateral opening is for its part according to the example comprises an upper portion 2a in the cover and a lower portion 2b in the ring and the flap 5 is slidably mounted in the slides 22a, 22b.
- a first slide 22a said lower is formed in the base by a gutter along the inner edge of the ring.
- the second slide 22b said upper is formed between a rim of the opening in the lid and an inner bead 220b lid.
- the second slideway 22c is formed directly by the junction between the inner upper part of the lid 30a and the top of the chimney-shaped inner wall 32.
- the shutter 5 slides inside the cover 1 and moves in rotation about the axis of revolution of the housing, the slides extending well beyond the opening to accompany the flap 5 over its entire stroke.
- the ends of the lower slideway 22a and the shutter are provided with a device
- the device comprises spring hooks 51 at the bottom cowl corners and stops 52 for catching the hooks at the end of the slider 22a.
- This system provides sufficient hood retention so that it does not move when handling the housing but small enough to allow to maneuver the hood with a finger.
- the spring hooks and the snap stops make it possible to have a sensitive return when the cover is clipped and disengaged.
- the latching device can be made at the lid.
- the base is provided with the axial diffuser device 4 and a central portion forming a wall 23 of semicircular section around the axial diffuser device.
- the wall 23 and an annular base 23a supporting it are connected to the ring 21 by at least one beam consisting of a platform 25 and ribs 251, 252.
- the platform 25 is connected to the annular base 23a and the reinforcing ribs 251, 252 are connected to the annular base and the wall 23.
- the platform 25 is omitted and the more numerous ribs 253 alone make the connection between the annular base 23a supporting the wall 23 of the central body and the ring 21.
- the axial diffuser device 4 is secured to a semicircular plate 4a which extends radially about a quarter of its periphery by the pusher 6.
- the axial diffuser device is connected, via the plate 4a to the central part by one or more flexible links 24 forming a spring.
- the wall 23 partly surrounds the axial diffuser and protects the inside of the hood from product projections and the ring 21 surrounds and protects the diffuser assembly and push button on its periphery.
- the semicircular central portion extends towards the casing by a skirt 23a provided with lugs 27 for fixing the base on a set 105 around the valve of the casing and shown in Figure 1. This allows to hang the hood firmly on the housing closer to the valve.
- the ring has an internal rim 210 for snapping with a circumferential crimp (110) of the housing.
- the crown In addition to the attachment of the cover, the fact that the crown covers the top of the housing at its dome crimping / housing body prevents the crown can be pushed inward and prevents lifting the cover.
- the cover 30 as seen above has an annular wall 32 forming a chimney ending at the top of the cover by the axial opening 3 and visible in particular in FIG.
- annular wall 32 joins the semi-circular wall 23 around the diffuser device 4 and shown in FIG. 2 so as to form an anti-splash channel.
- the lower end of the annular wall 32 surrounds the semi-circular wall 23, the annular wall and the semicircular wall 23 comprising mutual hooking means 28, 33 adapted to secure the base and the cover.
- the fastening means 33 of the annular wall consist of an annular flange while the fastening means on the semi-circular wall 23 consist of ramp-shaped lugs 28 distributed around the circumference of the semicircular wall. allowing a easy snap of the cover on the base and effective retention of the cover on the base.
- ribs 28a terminating under the lugs perform bearing abutments of the annular flange 33 to prevent depression of the lid 30 when for example a fortuitous support on the latter.
- the upper edge of the ring and the lower edge of the cover are also provided with mutual latching means 29, 34 adapted to secure the base and the cover.
- These means in the form of tongue grooves disposed on the upper edge of the ring 21 and the lower edge of the cover can be completed by a gluing or ultrasonic bonding of the cover and the base.
- the hood of the invention which is not limited to the example shown, the lateral opening may in particular be made entirely in the lid by reducing the height of the crown and increasing the height of the lid wall or on the contrary entirely in the base is easy to manufacture, robust, allows to customize the cover by a choice of different colors between the various parts and protects the fingers of the user any product projection and especially paint in the case of an aerosol can of spray paint.
