Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、使用済みの各種のエアゾール缶等を廃棄する際に、缶内の残留ガス等の内容物を抜き取るためのエアゾール缶の孔開け装置に関する。なお、本発明に係るエアゾール缶は、缶内の液化ガスの気化または圧縮ガスの圧力により、内容物がバルブを通って容器の外に自力で霧状や泡状に放出されるものと、カセットコンロ用のガスボンベのように、缶内の内容物が気相と液相とに分かれていて、気体が外部に放出されるもの等を含むものとする。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
【特許文献1】実公平7−43020号公報
【0003】
一般家庭でよく使用されるエアゾール缶を使用済み後に廃棄する際には、エアゾール缶内にはガス等が完全に外部に放出されず、僅かに残った状態で廃棄されることが多い。
【0004】
そして、それらのエアゾール缶の廃棄物を処分する際には、残留ガスによる爆発の危険性が高く、その作業に従事する作業者にとっては極めて危険であり、処分の前段階であるエアゾール缶を使い終わったときに、その残留内容物を抜き取るよう使用者に呼びかけている。
【0005】
このような背景の下、使用済みのエアゾール缶から残留内容物を抜き取るために、エアゾール缶に針等を突き刺して孔をあける各種装置や穿孔具が開発されているが、それらを用いる孔開け作業が安全で簡単でなければ、使用者の協力は得られない。
【0006】
一例として、実公平7−43020号公報には、エアゾール缶を収容する収容器の内部に、孔開け時にエアゾール缶の動きを封じて、その位置を確定するV型受台を設け、V型受台に対向して穿孔針を設け、エアゾール缶に穿孔針を突き刺すか、または穿孔針にエアゾール缶を押し当てて孔を開ける穿孔具が示されている。
【0007】
この穿孔具では、エアゾール缶の位置を確定するのにV型受台を用いているので、各種の大きさの異なるエアゾール缶でも安定して位置決めできるものである。さらに収容器に蓋を設け、収容器底部と蓋にV型受台と穿孔針を対向して設けており、孔開けする際には、エアゾール缶全体を収容器内部に収めることができるので、エアゾール缶の残留内容物が収容器の外に流出するのを防止して、孔開け作業の安全性を確保している。
【0008】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、実公平7−43020号公報におけるエアゾール缶全体を収容器内部に収めて孔開けを行うものでは、市販されている大きなエアゾール缶にも対応可能なように収容器も大きくする必要があり、穿孔具自体が大きくなって、孔開け作業の手軽さが失われてしまう。
【0009】
市販のエアゾール缶は塗料やガスボンベといった用途等により大きさの種類は数多く、本発明のようにエアゾール缶の一部を収容して孔開けを行うには、収容器にあらかじめ大きな缶入口を設けて大きさの異なるエアゾール缶を収容するが、缶入口の余分な開口は、蓋等でエアゾール缶の大きさに対応して規制するのは容易ではなく、またその形態についても開示されていない。
【0010】
また、エアゾール缶内にガスだけでなく、薬液等が残っている場合に孔開けする際には、その薬液等が収容器内部に飛散するが、回収して排出する手段が無いのは非常に不便であり、収容器内部が汚損して、装置の作動不良の原因となってしまう。
【0011】
さらに、エアゾール缶に穿孔針が突き刺さる際には、丸棒で、単なる先端が鋭利なテーパー形状の穿孔針では、テーパー形状の部分を越えて、直線部分までエアゾール缶に突き刺さってしまうと、穿孔針がエアゾール缶の孔の縁と接触して抜けにくくなってしまうことがある。
【0012】
そこで本発明では、収容器にエアゾール缶の一部を挿入して孔開けする際に、エアゾール缶の異なる大きさにも対応し、収容器の内部を可能な限り密閉してエアゾール缶の残留内容物が収容器の外に流出するのを防止し、かつ残留内容物を排出する手段を備え、手軽で安全な孔開けが行えるエアゾール缶の孔開け装置を提供することを目的とする。
【0013】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の目的を達成するために、請求項1の発明は、収容器1にエアゾール缶30等を収容して位置を確定し、穿孔針13で孔を開けて内容物を取り出すエアゾール缶の孔開け装置であって、円筒形の収容器1の側面に缶入口2aを設け、缶入口2aと重なる位置で、収容器1の円筒中心軸と同軸で回動可能な規制リング21を設け、規制リング21の側面にそれぞれ大きさの異なる複数の開口22を設け、かつ前記開口22の大きさは収容器の缶入口2aの大きさに対して同じか又は小さくし、収容器1の缶入口2aの大きさを規制リング21の開口22により規制できるエアゾール缶の孔開け装置である。
【0014】
請求項2の発明は、収容器1にエアゾール缶30等を収容して位置を確定し、穿孔針13で孔を開けて内容物を取り出すエアゾール缶の孔開け装置であって、円筒形の収容器1の側面に缶入口2aを設け、缶入口2aと重なる位置で、収容器1の円筒中心軸と同軸で回動可能な規制リング21を設け、規制リング21の側面にそれぞれ大きさの異なる複数の開口22を設け、かつ前記開口22の大きさは収容器1の缶入口2aの大きさに対して同じか又は小さくし、収容器1の缶入口2aの大きさを規制リング21の開口22により規制できるようにし、収容器1の円筒中心軸方向の両端が上下に位置し、その下方の端部を覆って、収容器1に脱着可能な受皿部材20を設け、エアゾール缶30の内容物を回収して排出する手段を具備したエアゾール缶の孔開け装置である。
【0015】
請求項3の発明は、エアゾール缶30に突き刺して孔を開け、内容物を取り出すエアゾール缶の穿孔針であって、棒形状でエアゾール缶30に突き刺す方の長手先端近傍にその長手方向に垂直な平坦面13bを設け、前記平坦面13bから棒先端の間に、前記平坦面13bよりも小さな底部の円錐テーパー部13cを頂部が棒先端となるよう設けて段付状としたエアゾール缶の穿孔針である。
【0016】
【発明の実施の形態】
請求項1の発明では、円筒形の収容器1の側面に缶入口2aを設け、缶入口2aと重なる位置で、収容器1の円筒中心軸と同軸で回動可能な規制リング21を設け、規制リング21の側面にそれぞれ大きさの異なる複数の開口22を設け、かつ前記開口22の大きさは収容器1の缶入口2aの大きさに対して同じか又は小さくし、収容器1の缶入口2aの大きさを規制リング21の開口22により規制できるようにしたから、大きさの異なるエアゾール缶を収容器1の所定の位置に確定して挿入することができ、孔開けをする際にも収容器1の缶入口2aの余分な開口を規制して、残留内容物が収容器1外部に大量に流出するのを防止できる。
【0017】
請求項2の発明では、前記収容器1の円筒中心軸方向の両端が上下に位置し、その下方の端部を覆って、収容器1に脱着可能な受皿部材20を設けたから、受皿部材20を取り外して収容器1内に飛散したエアゾール缶30の内容物を回収して排出できる。
【0018】
請求項3の発明では、棒形状でエアゾール缶30に突き刺す方の長手先端近傍にその長手方向に垂直な平坦面13bを設け、平坦面13bから棒先端の間に、平坦面13bよりも小さな底部の円錐テーパー部13cを頂部が棒先端となるよう設けて段付状としたから、穿孔針13の平坦面13bがエアゾール缶30に接触して突き抜けを防止し、その平坦面13bよりも先端の円錐テーパー部13cのみが突き刺さるので、穿孔針13がエアゾール缶30に必要以上に突き刺さって抜けにくくなることが無い。
【0019】
【実施例】
以下に、本発明の一実施例を図面を参照して説明する。ただし、以下の説明は、あくまでも本発明の例示にすぎず、以下の記載によって発明の技術的範囲が限定されるものではない。
【0020】
図1に示すのは本実施形態のエアゾール缶の孔開け装置であり、主として収容器1と、その上方に位置するスライドキャップ10と、下方に位置する受皿部材としての底蓋キャップ20とからなる。本実施例においては、一般家庭でもよく使用される直径が約70mm、約50mm、約40mm、約25mmの4種類のエアゾール缶30を収容して孔開けすることを目的とし、孔開け装置自体は直径約115mm、高さ約265mmの略円柱形状である。
【0021】
収容器1はエアゾール缶30の一部を収容して、その内部で孔開けを行うもので、主として収容器本体2と、その内部に受台3と上仕切板4、下仕切板5からなる。
【0022】
収容器本体2は薄鋼鈑を円筒形に巻いて成形し、巻いた方向の両端部をつなぎ合わせて溶着したものである。その円筒形は略真円で、円筒軸は鉛直方向とし、その中間から少し下方の円周側面に、エアゾール缶30の下方を収容器本体2の中心軸に略垂直に挿入するための缶入口2aを設ける。
【0023】
直径が異なる数種類のエアゾール缶を収容するためには、収容器本体2の缶入口2aは、目的のエアゾール缶の種類において最も大きな直径のものが挿入できる大きさとする必要がある。本実施例においては直径が約70mmのエアゾール缶30が挿入できるように、缶入口2aの大きさは、エアゾール缶30の挿入方向から見て直径約75mmの略円形とした。
【0024】
収容器本体2の下方内部には、缶入口2aから挿入されたエアゾール缶30を下方から支持して位置を確定する受台3を設ける。受台3は四角形の薄鋼鈑を略V型に折り曲げたもので、そのV溝をエアゾール缶の中心軸方向とし、上方の頂部が収容器本体2の内径に接するように溶着等で固定する。
【0025】
なお、受台3はV型とすることで直径の異なるエアゾール缶でもその内側谷部で接して支持することが可能となり、その位置決めも容易となる。収容器本体2内部に受台3を固定する際には、エアゾール缶30の残留内容物が受台3のV溝に溜まらないように、そのV溝方向どちらかに若干傾斜させて収容器本体2に固定したほうが望ましい。
【0026】
収容器本体2の上方と中間付近の内部には、収容器本体2の円筒内径に相当する略円形鋼鈑の上仕切板4と下仕切板5をそれぞれ設ける。上仕切板4と下仕切板5の中心付近には、上方からの穿孔針13を鉛直に挿通する支持孔4a、5aを設け、穿孔針13の横方向の不要な遊びを防止して確実に支持できるようにする。
【0027】
収容器1の上方には、その円筒形上端を覆うようにスライドキャップ10を設ける。
スライドキャップ10は主として、キャップ管11と上蓋12、穿孔針13等からなり、収容器1の円筒中心軸方向に沿って上下にスライドし、収容器1の下方に収容したエアゾール管30に向けて収容器1内部の穿孔針13を下降させたり、上昇させたりするものである。
【0028】
キャップ管11は、収容器本体2の円筒外径よりもやや大きな内径の硬質塩化ビニル管であり、その中心軸を鉛直方向とし、上端には円形薄鋼鈑の上蓋12が水平となるよう接着され、下方からは収容器1の上部が挿入される。
【0029】
円形の上蓋12の下面中心付近には下方へ向かう鉛直な穿孔針13を設ける。穿孔針13は細い円形棒鋼で、その軸方向上端を上蓋12に溶着し、下方は上記のように収容器1の上仕切板4と下仕切板5にそれぞれ設けた支持孔4a、5aを通って支持され、下端が下仕切板5のやや下方に達するようにする。
【0030】
穿孔針13のエアゾール管30に突き刺さる方の端部である下端近傍には、その長手方向に垂直な平坦面13bを設け、平坦面13bから穿孔針13の先端の間に、平坦面13bよりも小さな底部の円錐テーパー部13cを頂部が穿孔針13の先端となるよう設けて段付状としておく。
【0031】
このように穿孔針13の先端付近を段付状とすることにより、穿孔針13がエアゾール缶30に突き刺さった際に、その平坦面13bがエアゾール缶30に接触して突き抜けを防止し、その平坦面13cよりも先端の円錐テーパー部13cのみが突き刺さるので、穿孔針13がエアゾール缶30に必要以上に突き刺さって抜けにくくなること防止している。
【0032】
また、エアゾール缶30の残留内容物を抜き出すには、その側面に小孔を開けるだけでよく、穿孔針13先端の円錐テーパー部13cの高さはエアゾール缶30側面の板厚を貫通できればよい。円錐テーパー部13cを高くし、その底部を大きくすることはエアゾール缶30の側面を貫通するのに無駄な力を要することになりかねないし、穿孔針13のコストが高くなってしまう。
【0033】
したがって本実施例においては、市販のエアゾール缶30の板厚が0.35mm〜0.5mm程度のものが一般的であるとし、穿孔針13の円錐テーパー部13cの高さは0.5mm以上10mm以下が適当な長さであるとし、穿孔針13の直部13aの直径を6mm、円錐テーパー部13bの底部の直径を2mm、円錐テーパー部13bの高さを3mmとした。
【0034】
収容器1の上仕切板4と下仕切板5で隔てられた内部には、穿孔針13の所定の位置に固定したストッパー14と、ストッパー14と下仕切板5との間の上下に圧縮バネ15を設ける。前記ストッパー14は鉛直方向を軸とする金属のパイプ状のものであり、その上方内側には穿孔針13を通すと共に水平部分を設け、ストッパー14の下方からその水平部分下面まで圧縮バネ15を挿入する。
【0035】
穿孔針13が上仕切板4と下仕切板5の支持孔4a、5aに支持されて上下にスライドする際には、穿孔針13の所定の位置に固定されたストッパー14の上端が上仕切板4の下面に接してスライドの上端となり、下方へはストッパー14の下端が下仕切板5の上面に接してスライドの下端になる。
【0036】
スライドキャップ10は上記のような構成において、上仕切板4と下仕切板5の支持孔4a、5aが穿孔針13のガイドとなり、収容器1の上部を覆うように上下にスライドするようになる。また、収容器1の上仕切板4と下仕切板5で隔てられた内部に設けたストッパー14と圧縮バネ15の反力によって、スライドキャップ10は常に、そのスライドの上端に位置させるようにする。つまり、スライドキャップ10上端の上蓋12の上面を下方に押すことにより、収容器1内部の穿孔針13が下降し、放すとスライドキャップ10は元の位置に戻って穿孔針13が上昇することになる。
【0037】
さらに、圧縮バネ15の上端に設けたストッパー14によりスライドキャップ10のスライドの上下端を定めているので、スライドキャップ10は不用に下降し過ぎることが無く、上昇してスライドキャップ10が収容器1から外れることが無い。
【0038】
一方、収容器1の下方に設けた受皿部材としての底蓋キャップ20は主として、規制リング21と底管23、底蓋23からなる。
【0039】
規制リング21は収容器本体2と同様に薄鋼鈑を円筒形に巻いて成形し、巻いた方向の両端部をつなぎ合わせて溶着したものであり、その内径は収容器1の円筒外径よりもやや大きくしておく。したがって、規制リング21を収容器1に中心軸が一致するようにはめ入れると、規制リング21は収容器1の円周外側を自由に回動することができる。
【0040】
規制リング21の円周側面には、直径の異なる数種類のエアゾール缶30にそれぞれ対応して大きさが異なる複数の開口22として、開口22a、22b、22c、22dを所定の間隔をあけて設ける。開口22a、22b、22c、22dは、規制リング21を収容器1の円周外側を回動させたときに、収容器1の缶入口2aにそれぞれ重なって、その下端同士が一致するように位置させる。つまり、上に規制リング21の開口22aが重なっているときに規制リング21を下方から見て右に少し回動させると、缶入口2a上には開口22bがその下端が一致するように重なり、さらに回動させると缶入口2a上には開口22c、22dと順次同様に重なるようにする。
【0041】
そして、前記開口22a、22b、22c、22dは、規制リング21の中心軸方向に略垂直にそれぞれに適応したエアゾール缶30を挿入するのに必要最小限の大きさとしておく。
【0042】
上記のような構成で、収容器1の外側に設けた規制リング21によって缶入口2aは外側から見て順次大きさを変えることができ、エアゾール缶30は開口22a、22b、22c、22dのいずれかと缶入口2aとを挿通し、収容器1内部の受台3に支持される。さらに、収容器1にエアゾール缶30を収容したときに、缶入口2aとエアゾール缶30との余分な開口が規制リング21によって閉じられることになり、収容器1内部の密閉性を高めることができる。
【0043】
本実施例の規制リング21においては、目的である直径が約70mmのエアゾール缶に対応する開口22aを設け、その隣に直径が約50mmのエアゾール缶に対応する開口22b、同様に図示しない隣に直径が約40mmのエアゾール缶に対応する開口22c、その隣に直径が約25mmのエアゾール缶に対応する開口22dを順次設けた。
【0044】
規制リング21の下方には、硬質塩化ビニル管の底管23を外側にはめ込んで接着し、底管23の下端には水平な円形鋼鈑の底蓋24を接着する。
【0045】
図8に示すように、受皿部材としての底蓋キャップ20は規制リング21と底管23と底蓋24により、底蓋24を底部とする受皿容器を構成することになり、規制リング21は収容器1外側に下方からはめ入れているだけなので、受皿部材としての底蓋キャップ20は自由に収容器1から下方に抜き出すことができる。したがって、収容器1内部で飛散したエアゾール管30の残留内容物は重力により下方に流れ落ち、受皿部材としての底蓋キャップ20内部に溜まるが、受皿部材としての底蓋キャップ20は収容器1から取り外して溜まった残留内容物を容易に廃棄することができる。
【0046】
次に、一例として缶体30aの直径が65mmのエアゾール缶30に孔開けする場合における本発明のエアゾール缶の孔開け装置の使用方法をその作動と共に説明する。
【0047】
一般的なエアゾール缶30は主として、中心軸が鉛直方向の円筒形で、薬液や噴射剤を封入した缶体30aと、その上方に缶体30aの内容物を噴射する噴射ノズル30bからなる。
【0048】
まず、本発明のエアゾール缶の孔開け装置を水平な床などに置き、あらかじめ収容器1の缶入口2aに重なる規制リング21を回動させて、直径が約70mmのエアゾール缶に対応する規制リング21の開口22aを缶入口2aに重なるようにしておく。
【0049】
そして、図1に示すように矢印の方向からエアゾール缶30を横倒しにして、缶体30aの底側から開口22aに挿入する。エアゾール缶30をその底部が収容器1の缶入口2a奥の内壁に接するまで挿入し、収容器1内部の受台3のV溝に載せる。
【0050】
次に、スライドキャップ10の上端面である上蓋12を足等で押し下げると、収容器1内で、エアゾール缶30の上方に鉛直に位置する穿孔針13が下降し、穿孔針13の下端の円錐テーパー部13cがエアゾール缶30の缶体30aに突き刺さる。
【0051】
なお、このスライドキャップ10を下方に押し下げる動作は、収容器1内部の圧縮バネ15が柔らかいもので、板厚の薄いエアゾール缶であれば手でも容易に行えるが、特に老人や女性においては、孔開け装置を床に置き、足でスライドキャップ10を押し下げたほうが力を要さず、安心して孔開け作業ができる。
【0052】
穿孔針13がエアゾール缶30に突き刺さると、直ちにその孔からガス等の残留内容物が噴出するが、上記のように収容器1の缶入口2aのエアゾール缶30との余分な開口は、規制リング21の開口22aにより規制して閉じられているので、噴出したエアゾール缶30の残留内容物が収容器1外部に大量に流出することが無い。
【0053】
エアゾール缶30を孔開けし、押し下げていたスライドキャップ10を放すと、収容器1内部に設けたストッパー14と圧縮バネ15の反力により、スライドキャップ10は元の位置に上昇し、収容器1内部の穿孔針13も上昇することになる。
【0054】
なお、エアゾール缶30を孔開けした際に、液状の残留内容物が収容器1内部で飛散した場合には、重力によってその残留内容物が収容器1下方の受皿部材としての底蓋キャップ20内に溜まるので、受皿部材としての底蓋キャップ20を収容器1から下方に抜き取って、残留内容物を廃棄すればよく、その清掃等についても容易である。
【0055】
また、上記においては缶体30aの直径が65mmのエアゾール缶30に孔開けする例を示したが、缶体の直径が50mmや40mm等のエアゾール缶を孔開けするには、規制リング21を回動させて、その開口22a、22b、22c、22dから缶体の直径に最も近い大きさのものを選んで収容器1の缶入口2aに重ねるようにし、上記の手順で孔開け作業を行えばよい。
【0056】
本発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものでなく、その要旨の範囲内で種々の変更が可能である。例えば、直径が約70mm、約50mm、約40mm、約25mmの4種類のエアゾール缶30を収容して孔開けすることを目的とし、規制リング21に4つの開口22a、22b、22c、22dを設けた例を示したが、収容器1と規制リング21の円筒直径を大きくして前記開口22の種類を増やしたり、数を減らして孔開けするエアゾール缶30の種類を絞り込んでもよい。
【0057】
また、収容器1の缶入口2aより挿入したエアゾール缶30をV型形状の受台3で下方から支持する例を示したが、缶入口2aを収容器1の中心軸に垂直方向に貫通して設け、規制リング21にも同様に中心軸に垂直方向に貫通してエアゾール缶30の直径に対応する開口22を貫通して設けて前記缶入口2aと重ね合わせ、エアゾール缶30を両貫通開口の缶入口2a、開口22を挿通させて支持するようにしてもよい。
【0058】
規制リング21に設けた異なる大きさのエアゾール缶に対応する開口22は、エアゾール缶30を挿入するため、その直径よりもやや大きくする必要があり、エアゾール缶30の缶体30aと開口22の隙間を完全に無くすることは困難である。しかし、規制リング21の開口22の縁にスポンジなどのパッキンを設けて、収容器1内部の密閉性を高めるようにしてもよい。
【0059】
孔開け装置を安価に提供するため、収容器本体2や規制リング21等は薄鋼鈑で製作し、キャップ管11や底管23は硬質塩化ビニル管を用いて製作した例を示したが、受皿部材としての底蓋キャップ20や収容器1の各構成部材を一体としたプラスチックや樹脂等で製作してもよく、透明樹脂を用いて収容器1を構成すれば、孔開けする際にその内部が見えて使用者に安心感を与えるし、意匠性が優れたものにもできる。
【0060】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように請求項1の発明によれば、円筒形の収容器の側面に缶入口を設け、缶入口と重なる位置で、収容器の円筒中心軸と同軸で回動可能な規制リングを設け、規制リングの側面に大きさの異なる複数の開口を設け、かつ前記開口の大きさは収容器の缶入口の大きさに対して同じか又は小さくし、収容器の缶入口の大きさを規制リングの開口により規制できるようにし、大きさの異なるエアゾール缶を収容器の所定の位置に確定して挿入することができ、孔開けをする際にも収容器の缶入口の余分な開口を規制して、残留内容物が収容器外部に大量に流出するのを防止できるから、孔開けの際の周囲の汚損を防止して、安全にエアゾール缶の孔開け作業ができる。
【0061】
請求項2の発明によれば、前記収容器の円筒中心軸方向の両端が上下に位置し、その下方の端部を覆って、収容器に脱着可能な受皿部材を設け、受皿部材を取り外して収容器内に飛散したエアゾール缶の内容物を回収して排出できるから、収容器内部の汚損や、孔開け装置の作動不良を抑制できる。
【0062】
請求項3の発明によれば、棒形状でエアゾール缶に突き刺す方の長手先端近傍にその長手方向に垂直な平坦面を設け、平坦面から棒先端の間に、平坦面よりも小さな底部の円錐テーパー部を頂部が棒先端となるよう設けて段付状とし、穿孔針の平坦面がエアゾール缶に接触して突き抜けを防止し、その平坦面よりも先端の円錐テーパー部のみが突き刺さるので、穿孔針がエアゾール缶に必要以上に突き刺さって抜けにくくなるのを防止するから、力のない老人や女性でも容易にエアゾール缶の孔開け作業ができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an aerosol can hole punching device for extracting contents such as residual gas in a can when disposing of various used aerosol cans and the like. In addition, the aerosol can according to the present invention, the contents of the liquefied gas in the can or the pressure of the compressed gas, the contents are discharged to the outside of the container through a valve by itself in the form of a mist or foam, the cassette It is assumed that the content in the can is divided into a gas phase and a liquid phase, such as a gas cylinder for a stove, from which gas is released to the outside.
[0002]
[Prior art]
[Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-43020
When discarding an aerosol can often used in general households after use, gas or the like is not completely discharged to the outside in the aerosol can, and is often discarded in a slightly remaining state.
[0004]
When disposing of the waste from these aerosol cans, there is a high risk of explosion due to residual gas, which is extremely dangerous for workers engaged in the work. When finished, it prompts the user to extract the remaining contents.
[0005]
Against this background, various devices and piers have been developed to pierce the aerosol can with a needle or the like in order to extract residual contents from the used aerosol can. If they are not safe and easy, there is no user cooperation.
[0006]
As an example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Hei 7-43020 discloses a V-shaped pedestal provided inside a container for accommodating an aerosol can, which seals the movement of the aerosol can at the time of drilling and determines the position thereof. A piercing device is shown in which a piercing needle is provided opposite to the base and the piercing needle is pierced into the aerosol can, or the aerosol can is pressed against the piercing needle to make a hole.
[0007]
In this piercing tool, since the V-shaped pedestal is used to determine the position of the aerosol can, the aerosol can of various sizes can be stably positioned. Further, a lid is provided on the container, and a V-shaped pedestal and a piercing needle are provided on the container bottom and the lid so as to face each other. When the hole is opened, the entire aerosol can can be stored inside the container. The residual contents of the aerosol can are prevented from flowing out of the container, thereby ensuring the safety of the boring operation.
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the apparatus disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-43020, in which the entire aerosol can is housed in the container to make a hole, the container needs to be large so as to be compatible with a large aerosol can which is commercially available. The punch itself becomes large, and the simplicity of the drilling operation is lost.
[0009]
There are many types of commercially available aerosol cans depending on the application such as paint and gas cylinders.In order to accommodate a part of the aerosol can and perform perforation as in the present invention, a large can inlet is provided in advance in the container. Although aerosol cans of different sizes are accommodated, it is not easy to regulate the excess opening of the can inlet according to the size of the aerosol can with a lid or the like, and the form thereof is not disclosed.
[0010]
In addition, when drilling a hole when not only gas but also a chemical solution remains in the aerosol can, the chemical solution etc. scatters inside the container, but there is no means to collect and discharge it. This is inconvenient, and the inside of the container is soiled, which causes a malfunction of the device.
[0011]
Furthermore, when the piercing needle is pierced into the aerosol can, a pierced needle with a round bar and a mere taper-shaped piercing tip goes beyond the tapered portion and pierces the aerosol can to a straight line portion. May come into contact with the edge of the hole of the aerosol can and become difficult to come off.
[0012]
Therefore, in the present invention, when a part of the aerosol can is inserted into the container to make a hole, the size of the aerosol can can be accommodated, and the inside of the container is sealed as much as possible to keep the residual contents of the aerosol can. An object of the present invention is to provide an aerosol can piercing device which is provided with a means for preventing an object from flowing out of a container and discharging residual contents, and which can perform easy and safe piercing.

Since only the conical taper portion 13c is pierced, there is no possibility that the perforating needle 13 pierces the aerosol can 30 more than necessary and does not become difficult to come off.
[0019]
【Example】
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the following description is merely an exemplification of the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention is not limited by the following description.
[0020]
FIG. 1 shows an aerosol can piercing device according to the present embodiment, which mainly includes a container 1, a slide cap 10 located above the container 1, and a bottom lid cap 20 serving as a tray member located below. . In the present embodiment, the purpose is to house and punch four types of aerosol cans 30 having diameters of about 70 mm, about 50 mm, about 40 mm, and about 25 mm, which are often used in ordinary households. It has a substantially cylindrical shape with a diameter of about 115 mm and a height of about 265 mm.
[0021]
The container 1 accommodates a part of the aerosol can 30 and performs perforation inside the container. The container 1 mainly includes a container main body 2, a receiving table 3, an upper partition plate 4, and a lower partition plate 5 therein. .
[0022]
The container body 2 is formed by winding a thin steel plate into a cylindrical shape, and joining the both ends in the winding direction to be welded. The cylindrical shape is substantially a perfect circle, the cylindrical axis is vertical, and a can inlet for inserting the lower part of the aerosol can 30 substantially perpendicularly to the center axis of the container body 2 on the circumferential side surface slightly below the middle. 2a is provided.
[0023]
In order to accommodate several types of aerosol cans having different diameters, the can inlet 2a of the container body 2 needs to be large enough to insert the largest aerosol can of the type of the target aerosol can. In this embodiment, the size of the can inlet 2a is approximately circular with a diameter of about 75 mm when viewed from the insertion direction of the aerosol can 30, so that the aerosol can 30 having a diameter of about 70 mm can be inserted.
[0024]
In the lower inside of the container main body 2, there is provided a receiving stand 3 for supporting the aerosol can 30 inserted from the can inlet 2a from below and determining the position. The cradle 3 is formed by bending a rectangular thin steel plate into a substantially V-shape. The V-groove extends in the direction of the center axis of the aerosol can, and is fixed by welding or the like so that the upper top portion is in contact with the inner diameter of the container body 2. .
[0025]
In addition, by making the receiving table 3 V-shaped, even aerosol cans having different diameters can be supported in contact at the inner valleys, and the positioning thereof becomes easy. When the receiver 3 is fixed inside the container body 2, the container body is slightly inclined in one of the V-groove directions so that the residual contents of the aerosol can 30 do not accumulate in the V groove of the receiver 3. It is desirable to fix to 2.
[0026]
An upper partition plate 4 and a lower partition plate 5 of a substantially circular steel plate corresponding to the inner diameter of the cylinder of the container main body 2 are provided in the upper part and near the middle of the container main body 2 respectively. In the vicinity of the center of the upper partition plate 4 and the lower partition plate 5, support holes 4a and 5a for vertically passing the puncture needle 13 are provided, and unnecessary play in the lateral direction of the puncture needle 13 is prevented to ensure the play. Be supportive.
[0027]
A slide cap 10 is provided above the container 1 so as to cover the cylindrical upper end.
The slide cap 10 mainly includes a cap tube 11, an upper lid 12, a piercing needle 13, and the like. The slide cap 10 slides up and down along the cylindrical central axis direction of the container 1, toward the aerosol tube 30 stored below the container 1. The perforating needle 13 inside the container 1 is lowered or raised.
[0028]
The cap tube 11 is a hard vinyl chloride tube having an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cylinder of the container main body 2, the center axis of which is vertical, and the upper end 12 of a circular thin steel plate adhered to the upper end so as to be horizontal. Then, the upper part of the container 1 is inserted from below.
[0029]
In the vicinity of the center of the lower surface of the circular upper lid 12, a vertical perforating needle 13 is provided to go downward. The perforating needle 13 is a thin circular steel bar whose upper end in the axial direction is welded to the upper lid 12, and the lower part passes through the support holes 4a and 5a provided in the upper partition plate 4 and the lower partition plate 5 of the container 1 as described above. So that the lower end thereof reaches slightly below the lower partition plate 5.
[0030]
A flat surface 13b perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is provided near the lower end, which is the end of the puncture needle 13 that pierces the aerosol tube 30, and a flat surface 13b is provided between the flat surface 13b and the tip of the puncture needle 13 rather than the flat surface 13b. A small bottom conical taper 13c is provided so that the top is the tip of the puncture needle 13 and is stepped.
[0031]
By making the vicinity of the distal end of the puncture needle 13 stepped in this manner, when the puncture needle 13 pierces the aerosol can 30, the flat surface 13b contacts the aerosol can 30 to prevent penetration and prevent the flat surface 13b from penetrating. Since only the conical tapered portion 13c at the tip of the surface 13c is pierced, the perforation needle 13 is prevented from being pierced into the aerosol can 30 more than necessary and hardly coming off.
[0032]
Further, in order to extract the remaining contents of the aerosol can 30, it is only necessary to make a small hole in the side surface of the aerosol can 30, and the height of the conical tapered portion 13c at the tip of the perforating needle 13 may be sufficient if it can penetrate the thickness of the side surface of the aerosol can 30. Increasing the height of the conical taper portion 13c and increasing its bottom portion may require useless force to penetrate the side surface of the aerosol can 30, increasing the cost of the perforating needle 13.
[0033]
Therefore, in this embodiment, it is assumed that the thickness of the commercially available aerosol can 30 is generally about 0.35 mm to 0.5 mm, and the height of the conical tapered portion 13 c of the perforating needle 13 is 0.5 mm to 10 mm. It is assumed that the following are appropriate lengths, the diameter of the straight portion 13a of the puncture needle 13 is 6 mm, the diameter of the bottom of the conical taper portion 13b is 2 mm, and the height of the conical taper portion 13b is 3 mm.
[0034]
Inside the container 1 separated by the upper partition plate 4 and the lower partition plate 5, a stopper 14 fixed to a predetermined position of the perforating needle 13, and a vertical compression spring between the stopper 14 and the lower partition plate 5. 15 are provided. The stopper 14 is a metal pipe having a vertical axis. A horizontal portion is provided inside the upper portion of the stopper 14 through which the needle 13 passes, and a compression spring 15 is inserted from below the stopper 14 to the lower surface of the horizontal portion. I do.
[0035]
When the perforating needle 13 slides up and down while being supported by the support holes 4a and 5a of the upper partition plate 4 and the lower partition plate 5, the upper end of the stopper 14 fixed to a predetermined position of the perforating needle 13 is placed on the upper partition plate. The lower end of the stopper 14 contacts the upper surface of the lower partition plate 5 and serves as the lower end of the slide.
[0036]
In the above configuration, the slide cap 10 slides up and down so that the support holes 4 a and 5 a of the upper partition plate 4 and the lower partition plate 5 serve as guides for the puncture needle 13 and cover the upper part of the container 1. . The slide cap 10 is always positioned at the upper end of the slide by the reaction force of the stopper 14 and the compression spring 15 provided inside the container 1 and separated by the upper partition plate 4 and the lower partition plate 5. . That is, when the upper surface of the upper lid 12 at the upper end of the slide cap 10 is pushed downward, the perforation needle 13 inside the container 1 is lowered, and when released, the slide cap 10 returns to the original position and the perforation needle 13 rises. Become.
[0037]
Further, since the upper and lower ends of the slide of the slide cap 10 are determined by the stoppers 14 provided at the upper end of the compression spring 15, the slide cap 10 does not unnecessarily descend, but rises and the slide cap 10 is It does not come off.
[0038]
On the other hand, a bottom cover cap 20 as a pan member provided below the container 1 mainly includes a regulating ring 21, a bottom tube 23, and a bottom cover 23.
[0039]
The restricting ring 21 is formed by winding a thin steel plate into a cylindrical shape in the same manner as the container main body 2, and joining the both ends in the winding direction and welding them. Keep it slightly larger. Therefore, when the regulating ring 21 is fitted into the container 1 so that the center axis thereof coincides with the container 1, the regulating ring 21 can freely rotate around the outer circumference of the container 1.
[0040]
Openings 22 a, 22 b, 22 c, and 22 d are provided on the circumferential side surface of the regulating ring 21 at predetermined intervals as a plurality of openings 22 having different sizes corresponding to several types of aerosol cans 30 having different diameters. The openings 22a, 22b, 22c, and 22d are positioned so that when the regulating ring 21 is rotated outside the circumference of the container 1, the openings 22a, 22b, 22c, and 22d respectively overlap the can inlets 2a of the container 1, and the lower ends thereof coincide with each other. Let it. In other words, when the regulating ring 21 is slightly rotated to the right when viewed from below when the opening 22a of the regulating ring 21 overlaps, the opening 22b overlaps the can inlet 2a so that the lower end thereof coincides, Further rotation causes the openings 22c and 22d to sequentially overlap the can inlet 2a in the same manner.
[0041]
The openings 22 a, 22 b, 22 c, and 22 d are set to have a minimum size necessary for inserting the aerosol can 30 adapted to each of them substantially perpendicularly to the central axis direction of the regulating ring 21.
[0042]
With the above configuration, the can inlet 2a can be sequentially changed in size as viewed from the outside by the regulating ring 21 provided on the outside of the container 1, and the aerosol can 30 can be any one of the openings 22a, 22b, 22c, and 22d. The heel is inserted through the can inlet 2a, and is supported by the receiving table 3 inside the container 1. Furthermore, when the aerosol can 30 is accommodated in the container 1, an extra opening between the can inlet 2a and the aerosol can 30 is closed by the restriction ring 21, so that the airtightness inside the container 1 can be improved. .
[0043]
In the regulation ring 21 of the present embodiment, an opening 22a corresponding to the target aerosol can having a diameter of about 70 mm is provided, and an opening 22b corresponding to an aerosol can having a diameter of about 50 mm is provided next to the opening 22b. An opening 22c corresponding to an aerosol can having a diameter of about 40 mm and an opening 22d corresponding to an aerosol can having a diameter of about 25 mm were sequentially provided next to the opening 22c.
[0044]
Below the regulating ring 21, a bottom pipe 23 of a hard vinyl chloride pipe is fitted and bonded to the outside, and a bottom lid 24 made of a horizontal circular steel plate is bonded to a lower end of the bottom pipe 23.
[0045]
As shown in FIG. 8, the bottom cover cap 20 as a receiving member constitutes a receiving container having the bottom cover 24 as a bottom by a regulating ring 21, a bottom tube 23 and a bottom cover 24, and the regulating ring 21 is accommodated. Since the bottom cover cap 20 as a pan member can be freely pulled out from the container 1 because it is merely fitted into the outside of the container 1 from below. Therefore, the residual contents of the aerosol tube 30 scattered inside the container 1 flow down due to gravity and accumulate inside the bottom cover cap 20 as a receiving member, but the bottom cover cap 20 as a receiving member is removed from the container 1. The accumulated residual contents can be easily disposed of.
[0046]
Next, as an example, a method of using the aerosol can piercing device of the present invention when piercing the aerosol can 30 having a can body 30a having a diameter of 65 mm will be described together with its operation.
[0047]
The general aerosol can 30 mainly has a cylindrical shape with a vertical central axis and includes a can 30a in which a chemical solution or a propellant is sealed, and an injection nozzle 30b for injecting the contents of the can 30a above the can 30a.
[0048]
First, the aerosol can piercing device of the present invention is placed on a horizontal floor or the like, and the restricting ring 21 overlapping the can inlet 2a of the container 1 is previously rotated to control the aerosol can having a diameter of about 70 mm. The opening 22a of 21 is made to overlap the can inlet 2a.
[0049]
Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the aerosol can 30 is turned sideways in the direction of the arrow, and inserted into the opening 22a from the bottom side of the can 30a. The aerosol can 30 is inserted until its bottom comes into contact with the inner wall at the back of the can inlet 2a of the container 1, and is placed in the V-groove of the receiving table 3 inside the container 1.
[0050]
Next, when the upper lid 12 which is the upper end surface of the slide cap 10 is pressed down with a foot or the like, the perforation needle 13 vertically located above the aerosol can 30 in the container 1 is lowered, and the cone at the lower end of the perforation needle 13 is formed. The tapered portion 13c pierces the can 30a of the aerosol can 30.
[0051]
The operation of pushing down the slide cap 10 can be easily carried out by hand if the compression spring 15 inside the container 1 is soft and the aerosol can has a small thickness. If the punching device is placed on the floor and the slide cap 10 is pressed down with the foot, no force is required, and the drilling operation can be performed with ease.
[0052]
As soon as the perforating needle 13 pierces the aerosol can 30, residual contents such as gas are ejected from the hole, but as described above, the extra opening of the can inlet 2 a of the container 1 with the aerosol can 30 is restricted by the restriction ring. Since the closed contents are restricted by the opening 22a of the aerosol can 21, the residual contents of the jetted aerosol can 30 do not flow out of the container 1 in large quantities.
[0053]
When the aerosol can 30 is perforated and the slide cap 10 that has been pushed down is released, the slide cap 10 is raised to the original position by the reaction force of the stopper 14 and the compression spring 15 provided inside the container 1, and the container 1 The inner puncture needle 13 will also rise.
[0054]
If the liquid residual contents are scattered inside the container 1 when the aerosol can 30 is opened, the residual contents are scattered by gravity in the bottom lid cap 20 as a pan member below the container 1. Therefore, the bottom cap 20 serving as a receiving member may be withdrawn from the container 1 and the remaining contents may be discarded, and the cleaning and the like are easy.
[0055]
Further, in the above description, an example was shown in which a hole is formed in the aerosol can 30 in which the diameter of the can 30a is 65 mm. However, in order to form a hole in an aerosol can having a diameter of 50 mm or 40 mm, the regulation ring 21 is rotated. By moving it, the one having the size closest to the diameter of the can is selected from the openings 22a, 22b, 22c, and 22d so as to overlap the can inlet 2a of the container 1, and if the hole drilling operation is performed in the above procedure, Good.
[0056]
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various changes can be made within the scope of the gist. For example, four rings 22a, 22b, 22c, and 22d are provided in the regulating ring 21 for the purpose of accommodating and drilling four types of aerosol cans 30 having diameters of about 70 mm, about 50 mm, about 40 mm, and about 25 mm. Although the above example has been described, the types of the openings 22 may be increased by increasing the cylindrical diameters of the container 1 and the regulating ring 21 or the types of the aerosol cans 30 to be perforated by reducing the number may be narrowed down.
[0057]
Also, an example is shown in which the aerosol can 30 inserted from the can inlet 2a of the container 1 is supported from below by the V-shaped pedestal 3, but the can inlet 2a penetrates in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the container 1. Similarly, the regulating ring 21 is also provided so as to penetrate in a direction perpendicular to the central axis and through an opening 22 corresponding to the diameter of the aerosol can 30 so as to overlap with the can inlet 2a. The can inlet 2a and the opening 22 may be inserted and supported.
[0058]
The opening 22 corresponding to the aerosol cans of different sizes provided in the regulating ring 21 needs to be slightly larger than the diameter thereof in order to insert the aerosol can 30, and the gap between the can body 30a of the aerosol can 30 and the opening 22 is required. Is difficult to eliminate completely. However, a packing such as a sponge may be provided at the edge of the opening 22 of the regulating ring 21 so as to increase the hermeticity inside the container 1.
[0059]
In order to provide a perforating device at low cost, an example was shown in which the container body 2 and the regulating ring 21 were made of a thin steel plate, and the cap tube 11 and the bottom tube 23 were made of a hard vinyl chloride tube. The bottom cover cap 20 serving as a pan member and the components of the container 1 may be made of an integrated plastic, resin, or the like. If the container 1 is made of transparent resin, The interior can be seen to give the user a sense of security, and the design can be excellent.
[0060]
【The invention's effect】

A plurality of openings having different sizes are provided on the side surface of the regulating ring, and the size of the opening is the same as or smaller than the size of the can inlet of the container, and the size of the can inlet of the container is reduced. It is possible to regulate by the opening of the regulating ring, aerosol cans of different sizes can be fixedly inserted in the predetermined position of the container, and the extra opening of the container inlet of the container can be made even when drilling holes. By restricting, it is possible to prevent a large amount of residual contents from flowing out of the container. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the surroundings from being soiled at the time of drilling, and to safely perform the drilling operation of the aerosol can.
[0061]
According to the invention of claim 2, both ends of the container in the direction of the central axis of the cylinder are located vertically, and the container is provided with a detachable pan member covering the lower end thereof, and the pan member is removed. Since the contents of the aerosol can scattered in the container can be collected and discharged, the inside of the container and the malfunction of the perforator can be suppressed.
[0062]
According to the invention of claim 3, a flat surface perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is provided in the vicinity of the longitudinal end of the rod-shaped one that pierces the aerosol can, and a bottom cone smaller than the flat surface is provided between the flat surface and the rod end. The tapered portion is stepped by providing the top portion at the tip of the rod, and the flat surface of the piercing needle contacts the aerosol can to prevent piercing. Since the needle is prevented from piercing the aerosol can more than necessary and becoming difficult to pull out, even an elderly person or a woman without power can easily perform a hole forming operation on the aerosol can.
