For example, the actuator body 21 can be used as an injection restricting member above the injection port 23 so as to store the liquid component of the fragrance. A curved injection restricting plate 25 and four support columns 26 supporting the same are provided, and the contents injected from the aerosol container 10 through the injection port 23 are applied to the injection restricting plate 25, and from between the support columns 26. It can be stored in the subdividing chamber 24 of the actuator body 21 without spraying to the side and spraying outside the actuator body 21.

  Then, a lid body 27 as a top plate member is fitted into the upper end opening of the actuator main body 21, and the liquid component stored in the subdividing chamber 24 is evaporated from a plurality of evaporation holes 28 formed in the lid body 27. It is made to be able to.

  Such an actuator main body 21 is disposed on the inner peripheral portion of the upper end of a cylindrical support cylinder member 29 that is fitted and connected to the mountain cup 12 of the aerosol container 10, and supports the outer peripheral portion of the lower end that is one end portion of the actuator main body 21. The upper end inner peripheral part of the cylindrical member 29 is connected to form a hinge part 30, and a fan-shaped operation part 31 is laterally formed on the upper end outer peripheral part which is the other end part of the hinge part 30 of the actuator body 21 and the diagonal position. Protrusions are formed.

  Thus, as shown in FIG. 3, the operation portion 31 of the actuator body 21 can be pushed down to tilt the hinge portion 30 as a fulcrum, and the contents in the aerosol container 10 are injected into the subdividing chamber 24. Can be stored.
