更に上記周壁３４の下端と筒部材２１の内面との一方には凹部３８を、他方には嵌合用突子２４を設けて、筒部材２１の回動により第１脚板２３が第１透孔１８の一端に位置する状態でだけ、上記凹部３８内へ嵌合用突子２４が入って上方筒部材３１の押下げが可能に形成した。
【０００８】
第３の手段として上記第２の手段を有すると共に、上記台部材１１のガイド筒１５内方に、該ガイド筒と同心に中径筒１６を起立し、かつ該中径筒外面とガイド筒１５の下部内面との一方には係合子１７を付設すると共に、他方からは弾性板２５を突出させて、台部材１１に対する上方筒部材３１の正逆両方向への回動により、第１脚板２３が第１透孔１８一端から他端へ移動するとき、弾性板先端が係合子１７に係合して弾性変形して乗越えたのち、弾性復元することで確認音を発することが可能に形成した。

【００１０】
第５の手段として、上記第１、第２、第３又は第４の手段を有すると共に上記上方筒部材３１外周部上面の内外両周縁間に多数の突部３３ａ　を付設した。
【００１１】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下図面について説明すると、１は噴霧容器本体で、頂壁２中央部に貫設され、かつ上方付勢されて起立するステム３を有し、又頂壁外周部から短筒４を起立すると共に、短筒下端外周部からは肩部５を介して胴部６を垂下する。上記ステムは付勢に抗して押下げすることで容器体内液体が霧となって噴出可能とする。図示例ではエアゾール式の容器本体を示すが、ポンプ式であっても差支えない。
【００１２】
１１は筒状台部材であり、巾広に設けた鍔状頂板１２内周から、内外二重筒で形成した嵌合筒１３を垂下し、該嵌合筒を上記容器本体の短筒４内外面へ嵌合させ、又外周から垂下させた外周壁１４を胴部６の上部外面へ嵌合させている。
【００１３】
又鍔状頂板１２の外周部からはガイド筒１５を、かつ該ガイド筒１５と同心にガイド筒内方から中径筒１６を、それぞれ起立する。中径筒外面には図３、４が示すように係合子１７を付設している。更にガイド筒下端内縁に沿って数箇の円弧状の第１透孔１８を、中径筒１６の下端内縁に第２透孔１９を穿設している。但し該第２透孔は他の位置でもよい。
【００１４】
２１は回動筒部材で、上記ガイド筒１５の内面へ下半筒部を回動可能に嵌合させて上半筒部をガイド筒上方へ起立させた回動筒２２を有し、該回動筒下端面から第１透孔１８内へ遊嵌させて第１脚板２３を垂下する。該第１脚板下端には第１透孔下縁へ係合して抜出しを防止する係合突条を付設することが望ましい。又回動筒２２の下部内面には数箇の嵌合用突子２４を縦設し、又該嵌合用突子２４の下部内面からは弾性板２５を突出させ、その弾性板先端を中径筒１６外面へ近接させている。
【００１５】
３１は上方筒部材で、逆ドーム形状に設けた天板３２外周から、内周部が低く、外周部を多少高く設けた外向きフランジ状壁３３を介して周壁３４を垂下して、該周壁下部を回動筒２２の上部内面へ嵌合させている。又天板中心部からノズル３５を垂設してステム３の上部外面へ、付勢に抗してステム３を押下げ可能に嵌合させ、そのステム上方の中心に噴霧孔３６を穿設している。更に天板３２から少数の第２脚板３７を垂設して該第２脚板下端を第２透孔１９内へ挿入させ、第２脚板下端に付設した係合突条を第２透孔下縁へ係合させている。
【００１６】
それ等第２脚板３７と第２透孔１９とは、既述筒状台部材１１に対して上方筒部材３１を、上下動可能に、かつ回動不能に連結するものであり、よって図が示す位置でなくてもよく、筒状台部材１１および上方筒部材３１に対して所定角度回動させる回動筒部材２１が有する、弾性板２５の邪魔にならない位置に設ければよい。
【００１７】
上記周壁３４の下端面は、回動筒部材が有する嵌合突子２４の上面へ接し、ないしは近接させて設ける。又その周壁下端面には嵌合用突子２４と同数の凹部３８を設けており、嵌合用突子上方に凹部３８が位置する状態でだけ、凹部３８内へ嵌合用突子２４が入ることで上方筒部材３１を下降させることが出来、このときノズル３５がステム３を付勢に抗して押下げし、すると容器体内液体が噴霧孔３６から霧となって噴出するよう設けている。
【００１８】
尚上方部材３１の上面外周部、つまり外向きフランジ状壁３３の外周部上面の内外両用縁間に複数の突部３３ａ　を付設させている。
【００１９】
既述第１透孔１８と第１脚板２３と嵌合突子２４と凹部３８との位置関係は次のように設ける。図３が示すように筒状台部材１１に対して回動筒部材２１を回して第１脚板２３が第１透孔１８の一端に接したとき、図１が示すように嵌合突子２４上方に凹部３８が位置して、該状態での上方筒部材３１の押下げで図２のように噴霧可能とする。次いで回動筒部材２１を反対方向へ回して第１脚板２３が第１透孔１８他端に接したとき、凹部３８は嵌合突子２４上方から外れ、よって該位置では嵌合突子２４上面へ周壁３４下端面が接することで上方筒部材３１の押下げは不能とする。
【００２０】
又既述中径筒１６外面の係合子１７、１７と弾性板２５とは次の関係を有する。図１が示すように嵌合用突子２４上方に凹部３８が位置し、かつ第１脚板２３が第１透孔１８の一端に接したとき、図３が示すように弾性板先端は一対の係合子１７、１７のうち、一方係合子の外面側にあり、又第１脚板２３が第１透孔１８の他端に接したとき、図４が示すように他方係合子の外方側に位置するよう設ける。このようにすることで、第１脚板２３が第１透孔１８一端から離れ始めの際、および第１透孔他端に近づいたときに弾性板先端が係合子１７、１７に係合して弾性変形し、又透孔一端から離れた際、および透孔他端に当接ないし近接した際、弾性板先端が係合子を乗越え弾性復元して確認音を発生することとなる。
【００２１】
図示例にあっては、第１、第２透孔１８、１９をそれぞれ四箇、第１、第２脚板２３、３７も各四箇、嵌合用突子２４および凹部３８も各四箇、弾性板２５は相対する二箇の嵌合用突子下部からそれぞれ一箇宛、計二箇設けた。
【００２２】
尚４１は必要によって設けるカバーキャップである。
【００２３】
容器使用の際は、図１のように嵌合用突子２４上方に凹部３８を位置させた状態で、図２が示すように上方筒部材３１へ足５１を乗せ、そのまま上方筒部材を押下げれば凹部３８内へ嵌合用突子２４上部が入ることで上方筒部材３１が容器体および筒状台部材１１に対して下降し、このときステム３も付勢に抗して押下げられることで噴霧孔３６から霧を噴出して足裏面へ消臭剤、ないし芳香剤等を付着させることとなる。足を離すと、ステム３が上方付勢により上昇し、共に上方筒部材を上昇させ、又ステム上昇により噴霧は停止する。
【００２４】
使用後は筒状台部材１１および上方筒部材３１に対して回動筒部材２１を回して凹部３８下方から嵌合用突子２４を側方へ移動させ、周壁３４下端面へ当接ないし近接させて上方筒部材２１の押下げが不能とすればよい。
【００２５】
又上記回動筒部材２１を正逆両方向へ回動させ始め、又回動させ終わる際、弾性板２５が係合子１７に接しかつ乗越えする際の弾性変形後の弾性復元により、その回動にクリック感が生じ、又確認音を発することとなる。
【００２６】
【発明の効果】
本発明は既述構成とするもので、請求項１記載の構成とすることで上方筒部材３１の構造を簡易化でき、該上方筒部材の天板３２を逆ドーム状とし、かつ該天板上端から外向きフランジ状壁３３を介して周壁３４を垂下させ、その外向きフランジ状壁３３上面を足裏面で押下げるよう設けたから、肉厚の薄い周壁上端面を押下げる場合のように違和感が生ずることがない。
【００２７】
請求項２記載のように筒状台部材１１および上方筒部材３１に対して回動筒部材２１を正逆両方向へ回し、凹部３８下方へ嵌合用突子２４を位置させ、又該位置から移動させることで、上方筒部材押下げによる噴霧操作のオン、オフが可能としたから、オフ状態にしておくことで不用意に上方筒部材３１が押下げられて噴霧するおそれがない。更に回動筒部材２１は、第１脚板２３が第１透孔１８の一端から他端に接する範囲で回動するよう設けたから、上方筒部材押下げ位置と押下げ不能位置とを明確に出来る便利がある。
【００２８】
請求項３のようにすることで、上記噴霧位置のオン、オフ切り替えの際に確認音を発し、かつ回動筒部材回動の際、クリック感が得られるから使用感を高めることが出来、請求項４のようにすることで回動筒部材の回し始めと、回し終わった際とに、二度確認音を発し二度クリック感が得られるから上記使用感を更に向上できる。
【００２９】
請求項５のようにすることで、押下げ不能とした状態で上方筒部材上面へ足裏面を載置し、そのまま足裏面を摺動させたり、又足裏面を押下げたり、浮かせたりすることで各突部で足裏面をマッサージすることが出来る。

[0023]
When the container is used, the foot 51 is placed on the upper tubular member 31 as shown in FIG. 2 with the concave portion 38 positioned above the fitting projection 24 as shown in FIG. 1, and the upper tubular member is pushed down as it is. For example, when the upper portion of the fitting projection 24 enters the concave portion 38, the upper tubular member 31 descends with respect to the container body and the tubular base member 11, and at this time, the stem 3 is also pressed down against the bias. Mist is ejected from the spray holes 36 to attach a deodorant or an aromatic to the sole of the foot. When the foot is released, the stem 3 is raised by the upward bias, the upper cylinder member is raised together, and the spray is stopped by the rising of the stem.
[0024]
After use, the rotating tubular member 21 is rotated with respect to the tubular base member 11 and the upper tubular member 31 to move the fitting projection 24 laterally from below the concave portion 38 so as to abut or approach the lower end surface of the peripheral wall 34. It is sufficient that the upper cylinder member 21 cannot be pushed down.
[0025]
When the rotation cylinder member 21 starts to rotate in both the forward and reverse directions, and when the rotation ends, the elastic plate 25 comes into contact with the engaging element 17 and resiliently recovers after being elastically deformed when the elastic plate 25 moves over. A click feeling is generated and a confirmation sound is emitted.
[0026]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the structure of the upper tubular member 31 can be simplified, and the top plate 32 of the upper tubular member has an inverted dome shape. Since the peripheral wall 34 is hung from the upper end via the outward flange-like wall 33 and the upper surface of the outward flange-like wall 33 is pressed down by the sole of the foot, an uncomfortable feeling is felt as when the upper end surface of the thin peripheral wall is pushed down. Does not occur.
[0027]
As described in claim 2, the rotating tubular member 21 is rotated in both the forward and reverse directions with respect to the tubular base member 11 and the upper tubular member 31 to position the fitting projection 24 below the concave portion 38 and move from the position. By doing so, it is possible to turn on and off the spraying operation by pressing down the upper tubular member, and there is no danger that the upper tubular member 31 will be inadvertently pushed down and sprayed by keeping it in the off state. Further, since the rotating tubular member 21 is provided so that the first leg plate 23 rotates in a range in which the first leg plate 23 contacts one end to the other end of the first through hole 18, the upper tubular member pressing position and the non-pressable position can be clearly defined. There is convenience.
[0028]
According to the third aspect, a confirmation sound is emitted when the spray position is turned on and off, and a click feeling is obtained when the rotating cylinder member is rotated, so that the usability can be enhanced, According to the fourth aspect, the confirmation feeling is emitted twice and the clicking feeling is obtained twice when the turning cylinder member starts to be turned and when the turning cylinder member is turned, so that the feeling of use can be further improved.
[0029]
By placing the sole on the upper surface of the upper tubular member in a state where the sole cannot be pushed down, the sole can be slid as it is, or the sole can be pushed down or floated. The foot can be massaged with each protrusion.
