Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an inverted jet aerosol product. More specifically, the present invention relates to an inverted spray aerosol product in which the user naturally sprays the product in an inverted state when spraying.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional aerosol products have a cylindrical container and a spraying member provided at the upper end of the container, and in the state where the body of the container is gripped, the spraying direction is aligned with the sprayed object and sprayed. The member is pushed down to eject. For example, when spraying an aerosol product that is sprayed in a mist form such as hair spray or anti-inflammatory analgesic to the hair, hands, arms, etc., grasp the product in the upright state (the state that the spraying member is on the upper side) and spray it. You are operating. Further, when spraying an aerosol product such as a hair foam or a cream that is discharged in the form of foam onto a palm or a brush, the product is gripped in an inverted state (the spray member is on the lower side) and the spraying operation is performed. These products are
Because you can operate the jet without moving your wrist,
The jetting operation can be performed exactly as designed in the product without feeling discomfort, and there is little misuse. However, in the case of the conventional aerosol product, when spraying to the back, shoulders, armpits, etc., when the container body is gripped and the spraying operation is performed, the bottom easily comes into contact with the wrist, which hinders the spraying operation. As a result, the wrist must be twisted excessively, and the finger must be ejected in an unnatural state where it is difficult to apply force to the finger. In addition, it is difficult to know whether to inject the product upright or upside down, and it is easy to misuse, and there is a problem in terms of use depending on the point to be ejected.

Further, in the case of a product in which powder is mixed in an aerosol composition such as an antiperspirant, the powder tends to settle and agglomerate at the bottom of the container when stored for a long time, so that the product is uniformly sprayed without shaking. In particular, in the case of an aerosol product for fixed amount injection, the powder goes out of the fixed amount chamber and the predetermined amount of the powder is not introduced into the fixed amount chamber. Also, because the powder settles inside the metering chamber,
There is a problem that it is difficult to spray the aerosol composition with a uniform composition.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is a technical object of the present invention to provide an aerosol product which is easy to spray even on the back, shoulders, armpits and the like, which are difficult to use with conventional aerosol products. Further, the second technical object of the present invention is to provide an aerosol product which can evenly spray the composition even if the composition contains powder.

[0005]

An aerosol product of the present invention (claim 1) is an aerosol container having a container body and an inverted aerosol valve provided at an upper end opening thereof,
An aerosol composition filled inside the aerosol container,
Consisting of an injection member attached to the aerosol container,
It is characterized in that it is provided with means for urging the user to inject the ink in an inverted state at the time of use. As the urging means, it is possible to adopt a structure in which the center of gravity of the entire aerosol product is in the upper ⅓ range (claim 2). Further, it can be used as a urging means by directing the injection direction from the injection member toward the container bottom side from the horizontal direction of the container (claim 3). Further, the height is 10 cm or less, and the jetting member or the cover and the bottom of the container can be jetted by a finger so that the jetting operation can be performed. Further, the urging means can be constituted by the shape of the entire product which can be held in the hand and can be held by the palm and fingers (claim 5). Furthermore, the ratio of the body diameter to the height of the entire aerosol product is 1: 1.5 to 1: 0.2.
By setting the above, it can be used as a stimulating means (claim 6). Furthermore, in any of the above aerosol products, the inverted aerosol valve can be a fixed quantity injection valve (claim 7). These aerosol products are suitable when the powder composition is used as the aerosol composition (Claim 8).

[0006]

ACTION AND EFFECT OF THE INVENTION Since the aerosol product of the present invention (Claim 1) is provided with means for urging the spraying in an inverted state at the time of use, the user can handle the aerosol product on the hand. When using, hold it upside down and hold it in your hand. As a result, the aerosol composition is mixed each time it is used, and a uniform content can be sprayed. Further, the urging means can prevent the user from erroneously using in an upright state. The urging means includes, for example, a shape and a position of the center of gravity for visually urging the user or urging the user to use the aerosol product in an inverted state without feeling awkward when holding the aerosol product. Alternatively, a valve that injects only when inverted is used.

The urging means constituted by setting the center of gravity of the entire aerosol product within the upper one-third range (Claim 2) is such that when the user holds the aerosol product, the upper part of the aerosol product is held in the palm. Stabilize. As a result, when the aerosol product is picked up, the upper part naturally comes down in the hand, and the user can tactilely feel that the state of use is inverted. Thereby, even if the user mistakenly tries to use it upright, he or she can feel a sense of discomfort and realize that the inversion is the correct way to hold.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the urging means is configured by directing the injection direction from the injection member toward the container bottom side from the horizontal direction (claim 3). When spraying to the back side, soles, nasal cavity, mouth, etc., it is easier to spray the product by turning the product over and directing the spray hole upwards, so naturally it becomes an inverted spray.

Conventionally, an aerosol product is jetted by exerting two forces, a force for gripping a container and a force for operating an injection member (pushing, pulling, etc.), but the height of the aerosol product is 10c.
m or less, and the means for urging by making it possible to perform the jetting operation by pinching the jetting member or the cover and the bottom of the container with fingers (claim 4), the aerosol product can be held by just picking with the fingers. And the operation of the injection member can be performed simultaneously. Generally, it is difficult to inject by bending a wrist etc. because it is difficult to maintain the force of both holding the container and the operation of the injection member, and when injecting this aerosol product, Even in places where it is difficult to eject, such as under the armpit, it is possible to eject without feeling unnaturalness or discomfort as in the past.

In the case where the urging means is constituted by making the whole aerosol product into a size which can be accommodated in the hand and having a shape which can be grasped by the palm and fingers (claim 5), it is accommodated also in a pocket or the like. Yes, it is easy to carry. Further, even if the product is gripped, the size fits in the hand, so that the wrist can be freely moved during use, and the product can be easily used in the inverted state.

When the ratio of the diameter of the body to the height of the entire aerosol product is set to 1: 1.5 to 1: 0.2 to provide the urging means (claim 6), the conventional aerosol product is used. Since the height of the entire product is low, the aerosol product placed in the upright state can be easily inverted to the inverted state.

When the aerosol valve for inversion is a constant quantity injection valve (claim 7), the amount of contents to be injected by one injection operation is limited. For this reason, it is possible to prevent overuse of drugs such as drugs and quasi drugs whose use amount is limited, and expensive drugs.

The aerosol product of the present invention, even when the powder is contained in the aerosol composition (claim 8),
Even if the powder is settled on the bottom of the container after being placed for a long time, the aerosol container is always inverted when spraying, so that the aerosol composition can be mixed before use and a uniform content can be sprayed. You can

When placed in an inverted position for a long time,
The powder tends to settle inside the valve or around the valve and become clogged. The aerosol product of the present invention may be provided with means for encouraging the user to place it upright when not in use. In that case, it is possible to prevent accidental placement in an inverted state when not in use, and to prevent the valve from being clogged with powder in the aerosol composition.

FIG. 5 is a partial cross-sectional front view showing a form, FIG. 5 is a partial side view showing a use state of still another embodiment of the aerosol product of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a use state of yet another embodiment of the aerosol product of the present invention. Is a partial sectional front view showing
7a and 7b are a side view showing another embodiment of the present invention and a front view showing its usage state, FIG. 8 is a sectional view showing an example of an inverted aerosol valve which can be used in the present invention, and FIG. It is sectional drawing which shows an example of the inverted metering valve which can be used for this invention, and FIG. 10 is a sectional view which shows an example of the valve which can be used only for inverted and which can be used for this invention.

The aerosol product 1 shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b is
A bottomed cylindrical container body 2, an inverted aerosol valve 3 (hereinafter simply referred to as a valve) attached to an upper opening of the container body 2, and the container body 2 can be housed so as to cover the upper part. It has an injection hole 4 and a cover 5 which also serves as an injection member.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the valve 3 has a bottomed cylindrical housing C, a stem D housed therein so as to be vertically slidable therein, and always urges the stem D upward. Provided in the opening of the spring E and the housing C,
Annular valve rubber F that seals the stem hole of the stem D
And a mounting cup B for attaching the housing C to the container body 2, which is conventionally known. The valve 3 is fixed to the container body 2 by crimping the mounting cup to the bead portion of the container body 2 via the gasket A.

Returning to FIG. 1, the cover 5 is substantially frustoconical, the outer surface inclined portion is curved so as to be convex outward, and the upper end is rounded. Further, a recess 5a for accommodating the container body 2 so as to be vertically movable is provided on the bottom side. Further, a stem engaging portion 6 capable of engaging with the stem D is provided inside the upper surface of the cover 5, and the injection hole 4 and the stem engaging portion 6 communicate with each other. The cover 5 is configured such that, when the aerosol container is attached, the center of gravity of the aerosol product 1 as a whole falls within the upper ⅓ range. Further, since the aerosol product 1 is of a size that can be grasped by hand and has a rounded upper end, when the aerosol product 1 placed upright is grasped by hand, the aerosol product 1 The product 1 naturally becomes an inverted state in the hand. Also, when the product is placed horizontally in the palm,
As shown in FIG. 1b, since the head (upper part) is inclined downward, the user can naturally use it with the upper part downward. The form of the cover 5 that urges the user to grip in such an inverted state is not particularly limited.
Like the cover 5 in FIG. 1, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the entire container body 2 is covered or a configuration in which the head is made heavy by providing a weight 9 on the head. As a result, the bottom portion 7 of the container body 2 naturally faces upward like a rising Kobiko. The method of using the aerosol product 1 is, for example, to grasp the product and turn it upside down, and then grasp the upper end of the cover 5 and the bottom of the container with the middle finger or forefinger and the thumb in an inverted state, and hold the bottom 7 of the container body.
Press down with your thumb, or apply force from above and below to operate. As a result, the valve 3 is opened and the aerosol composition is ejected from the ejection hole 4. In the case of an aerosol product that is picked up and down in the vertical direction and ejected as in the embodiment, the product height is 10 cm or less in consideration of operability.
Further, it is preferably 8 cm or less.

In the aerosol product 1, the ratio of the height of the cover 5 to the diameter of the body is almost the same in FIG. 1, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the ratio of "diameter of the body: height" is not limited to this. 1: 1.5 to 1: 0.2, and further 1: 1.2 to
It is preferably 1: 0.25, and particularly preferably 1: 1 to 1: 0.3. As a result, the aerosol product placed in the upright state can be easily inverted to the inverted state.
When the height of the aerosol product is high, the height of the center of gravity of the aerosol product 1 as a whole tends to vary greatly depending on the remaining amount of the aerosol composition inside. As a result, it is difficult to configure the center of gravity of the aerosol product as a whole in the upper ⅓ range from before use to after use, and it is necessary to use a weight or the like to make the entire product considerably heavy. However, when the ratio of the body diameter to the height is within the above range, the height of the center of gravity is less likely to change, and it is not necessary to provide a weight, or a light weight is sufficient.

This is also shown in FIG.
The state of use and the state of storage are visually communicated or urged to the user by letters. In other words, by displaying the letters or diagrams meaning "storage" so that they can be read in an upright state, and displaying the letters or diagrams meaning "use" upside down, it is possible for the user to place them when storing. And how to hold it during use can be accurately transmitted. Furthermore, the display method is not limited as long as it is possible to convey to the user that the storage state and the use state are opposite, even if the letters are not reversed. Alternatively, it may be displayed as a graphic. Further, the aerosol product 1 has a bottom surface area larger than an upper surface area, thereby urging the user to place the aerosol product 1 in an upright state. Further, as shown in the imaginary line in FIG. 1b, by forming the upper end of the cover into a round shape so that it does not stand upside down, it is possible to formally convey to the user that the cover is placed upright when not in use. it can.

Further, in the container body 61, the ratio of the body diameter to the height of the aerosol product is 1: 1.5 to 1: 0.2, particularly as shown by the imaginary line, as in the embodiment described above. 1:
It is preferably from 1.2 to 1: 0.25, more preferably from 1: 1 to 1: 0.3, and in this case, the above-described action is exhibited.

An aerosol product 70 shown in FIG. 7 has a container body 71 which is a substantially spherical body, an inversion valve 72 attached to an upper opening of the container body, and an upper surface of the valve 72 which faces the container bottom side. And an injection button 73 having an injection hole 74. Since the container body 71 has a substantially spherical shape, the entire container can be easily grasped and easily fit in the hand. Also,
Since the injection hole 74 faces the bottom side of the container, as shown in FIG. 7b, when the product is grasped and used by wrapping the container body, the injection to the armpit does not unnaturally return the wrist, Can be jetted. Further, the container body 71 is provided with a recessed portion 75 on which a finger is placed so as to indicate a preferable usage state of the container. When a finger is placed along the recessed portion 75, the aerosol product 7 is naturally inverted without being unnaturally returned such as the wrist.
You can hold 0. Further, the injection button 73 may be made heavy so that the center of gravity of the aerosol product 70 as a whole falls within the upper ⅓ range. This makes it easier to invert and jet.

For any of the above-mentioned aerosol products, the constant volume inverted valve 80 shown in FIG. 9 can be used. The inverted valve 80 for quantitative injection is conventionally known, and when the stem D is pushed down, the valve rubber F bends downward as shown by an imaginary line, and the communication hole G connecting the housing C and the container body is blocked. That is, when the interior of the housing C becomes a metering chamber and the stem D is pushed down, only the contents in the housing C are sprayed through the spray holes. Reference numeral 81 in FIG. 9 is a stirring spring for stirring the aerosol composition inside the housing C to uniformly disperse the powder when the powder is mixed in the aerosol composition.

Further, for any of the above-mentioned aerosol products, for example, an inverted exclusive valve that is provided with a valve body such as a vertically-arranging tubular valve body or a ball valve and cannot inject an aerosol composition in an upright state. Can also be used.
An example of such a valve is shown in FIG. In this valve 90, a cylindrical valve body 91 and a space 92 in which the valve body 91 can slide are provided in a housing C. As a result, in the upright state, the tubular valve element 91 is located below the space 92, closing the communication hole 93 from the inside of the container to the housing C, and in the upright state, the tubular valve element 91 is in the space 92. It is located above and opens the communication hole 93.
As a result, the aerosol composition can be injected only in the inverted state. In the conventional valve, when sprayed in the upright state, only the propellant is sprayed, the composition of the aerosol composition is changed, and there are problems that the spray cannot be sprayed to the end and the remaining amount increases. When the valve 90 for exclusive use of the inverted type is used in the upright state, nothing is ejected, so that the user can be encouraged to use the inverted state at the time of use. .

In each of the above-mentioned embodiments, when not in use, it is placed upright, but in the case of an aerosol product that does not require stirring the contents, it may be placed upright.
