- Different aspects and embodiments of the invention may be used separately or together.
- Further particular and preferred aspects of the present invention are set out in the accompanying independent and dependent claims. Features of the dependent claims may be combined with the features of the independent claims as appropriate, and in combination other than those explicitly set out in the claims. Each aspect can be carried out independently of the other aspects or in combination with one or more of the other aspects.
- The present invention will now be more particularly described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- The example embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to embody and implement the systems and processes herein described. It is important to understand that embodiments can be provided in many alternative forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein.
- Accordingly, while embodiments can be modified in various ways and take on various alternative forms, specific embodiments thereof are shown in the drawings and described in detail below as examples. There is no intent to limit to the particular forms disclosed. On the contrary, all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the scope of the appended claims should be included. Elements of the example embodiments are consistently denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the drawings and detailed description where appropriate.
- Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein are to be interpreted as is customary in the art. It will be further understood that terms in common usage should also be interpreted as is customary in the relevant art and not in an idealised or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.
- In the following description, all orientational terms, such as upper, lower, radially and axially, are used in relation to the drawings and should not be interpreted as limiting on the invention.
- Referring first to
Figures I to 5 there is shown a child-resistant aerosol cap generally indicated 10. The cap 10 comprises abase 15 and alid 20. - Referring now also to
Figures 6 to 10 thebase 15 is further described. The base is intended to be snapped on an aerosol bottle/can/container (see below). - The
base 15 comprises a generally L-sectionannular collar 25 which comprises a generallyaxial leg 26 and a radial leg 27 (it is inclined slightly upwardly) that provides a step. At the centre of the collar a generally L-section neck 30 upstands and comprises anaxial leg 31 and aradial leg 32. - The
axial leg 31 is equipped with a thread 33 (the leg effectively comprises external skirt and the threads extend around the skirt) to collaborate with the threads of the lid (see below). - The radial leg/
step 27 is equipped with twoanti-rotation teeth teeth - The interior of the
leg 31 is provided with anannular snap bed 34, which in this embodiment is just above the intersection of theleg 31 with theleg 27. - The underside of the
leg 32 is provided with a plurality ofradial ribs 35. - The
lid 20 is shown inFigures 11 to 14 . Thelid 15 comprises aflat top plate 40 from the periphery of which depends a curved outer sidewall/skirt 45. - Approximately half way down the
outer sidewall 45 an axial inner skirt 50 depends from the interior thereof. Towards the free end of the inner skirt 50 aninternal screw thread 55 is provided and cooperates with thethread 33 to allow the lid to be screwed onto the base. - At or towards the free end of the
outer skirt 45 the interior is provided with twoanti-rotation teeth 65, 70 which are positioned, in this embodiment, approximately diametrically opposite each other. Each of theteeth 65, 70 comprises a generally flat abutment face 65a, 70a and a curved/inclined face 65b, 70b. - The
outer skirt 45 is also provided with two press/squeeze zones/pads pads teeth 65, 70 so that the pads are between the teeth (the pads and the teeth are therefore a little like the four points on a compass, with approximately 90 degrees spacing as they alternate tooth-pad-tooth-pad). This means that when the pads are moved towards each other the skirt ovalises; in turn this means that the two areas of the skirt which carry theteeth 65, 70 are moved radially outwards, as represented by A. - In use the cap can be screwed onto the base using the
threads -
Figures 15 to 18 show the cap 10 attached to an aerosol container 75. The base is snapped on the container without the possibility to be removed. The base is shown fitted onto a valve/mounting cup that receives a valve (not show) and an actuator/nozzle 82, with thesnap bead 34 clipped under the free end of the roll-top cup wall 81. Thevalve cup end 81 is therefore sandwiched between the rolled end of thecan 83 and theleg 31. - The
base leg 26 extends down to thedomed end 85 of the metal container/can 90. -
Figure 19 shows a child-resistant aerosol 101. - The
aerosol 101 comprises acan 102 and a cap 103. The cap 103 comprises a spout/nozzle 104 and anactuator 105 for dispensing product from the nozzle. - In the position shown in the left hand image the actuator cannot be depressed, thereby preventing operation.
- In order to be able to use the actuator the cap must be rotated/twisted to the position shown in the right hand image, so as to cause the actuator to rise.
- The cap is prevented from rotation by a child-resistant locking mechanism, which in this embodiment uses a similar squeeze-and-turn approach to the cap on
Figures I to 18 . For this purpose a pair of pressing pads 106 (only one is shown) are provided. The skirt of the cap must be pressed in to disengage locking formations (teeth, lugs etc) from corresponding formations provided either on the can itself, or an intermediate piece such as a non-removable base (as used in relation to the cap ofFigures I to 18 ). - Although illustrative embodiments of the invention have been disclosed in detail herein, with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is understood that the invention is not limited to the precise embodiments shown and that various changes and modifications can be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
