DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a spray container for spraying paints, chemicals and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a spray type container, for example, a liquid content such as a paint or a chemical is contained in an inner space of the container, and a high-pressure gas is sealed in the inner space, or propane gas or the like is used as it is. There is one sealed at high pressure, such a spray-type container, when the user presses the nozzle, the internal space communicates with the outside, the contents described above, the pressure equilibrium between the high-pressure gas and the outside air. Utilizing it, the mist is sprayed to the outside from a nozzle provided at the upper end of the spray type container. The high-pressure gas is often a flammable substance, and it is obligatory to remove the high-pressure gas remaining in the container in order to avoid a dangerous burst accident when disposing of the used spray container. . By the way, as shown in FIG.
Is strongly caulked while biting into the nozzle 22 from above, and is formed very robustly. Therefore, when degassing the above, it is difficult to remove the nozzle. Generally, holes are made on the bottom and side surfaces of the spray container with an awl or a special tool to remove the high-pressure gas in the spray container. Had been pulled out.

[0003]

However, since these spray-type containers can withstand the filling of high-pressure gas,
Since most of them are made of metal such as steel, it is very troublesome to make holes on the bottom and side surfaces of the spray type container by using an awl or the like, and furthermore, an inexperienced user in tool handling made holes. In such a case, since the tool used is sharp, there is a risk of injury when the container is pierced. Also, in factories and the like, for example, during the washing process of machine tools and the application process of products, since a large amount of detergents and paints are used, a large amount of used spray-type containers are also discharged by the above-described operation, There is a concern that the time required for drilling is also increased, leading to a decrease in work efficiency.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a spray-type container capable of easily and quickly extracting high-pressure gas remaining in the container without the necessity of making a hole with a tool or the like when disposing of the spray-type container. Is to provide.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a spray type container according to the present invention comprises a cylindrical container main body having a nozzle support protruding from an upper end thereof, and the contents in the container main body being externally provided. A nozzle body which urges and holds a spraying portion for vertically spraying the nozzle body, a projecting portion is protruded from the side of the nozzle house of the nozzle body, and the nozzle body is held by the nozzle supporting portion by the projecting portion. In the spray-type container mounted on the container body, along the vicinity of the outer edge of the bottom of the nozzle house, when a stronger pressing force is applied to the sprayer than in normal use, the lower end of the sprayer Abuts against the bottom to separate the nozzle house from the bottom and to form a groove for dropping the bottom, so that the inside of the container body can be opened to the outside.

Here, it is desirable that the nozzle house is caulked so as not to be detached by the nozzle support portion. However, even if the nozzle house comes off when a stronger pressing force is applied than in normal use, the nozzle house will eventually be disengaged. Since the body is opened, it is not always necessary to form the body so that it cannot be removed. Examples of the concept of the spray container include a container in which high-pressure gas and contents are mixed in a container, and a container in which gaseous contents such as propane gas are sealed at high pressure in the container. And
It does not include the double container type in which the high-pressure gas and the contents are separately sealed.

With this configuration, when the spraying section is pushed in more strongly than in normal use, the lower end of the spraying section comes into contact with the bottom of the nozzle house, and furthermore, a pressing force is applied to the spraying section, so that the groove is formed. Since the bottom is divided along the bottom, the spraying part falls off with the bottom and falls into the container main body, and the inside of the container main body is opened to the outside.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The outline of a spray container according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The spray-type container has a cylindrical container body 1 having a nozzle support 2 projecting from the upper end thereof, a nozzle body 4 for spraying an enclosure in the container body 1 to the outside,
Is formed on the side portion of the nozzle support portion 2 so as to protrude from the inside of the container, and the projection portion 6 protruding from the side portion of the nozzle body 1 is locked. The nozzle body 4 is fitted and locked to the container body 1.

The container main body 1 has a hollow cylindrical shape, and a nozzle support portion 2 having a projecting opening 12 on an upper surface side protrudes from an upper end portion of the container main body 1. On the peripheral wall 16 of the portion 2, a curved fixing portion 3 protruding inside the nozzle support portion 2 is formed.

The nozzle body 4 has a nozzle house 9 having a suction pipe 11 at a lower end, a spraying section 5 having a spraying port 14 for contents, and a coil spring locked and fixed to a lower end of the spraying section 5. 8 and a ring-shaped sealing member 7 for sealing the internal space of the container body 1.
The seal member 7 is positioned at a position to close the through hole 15 provided on the side surface of the seal member 7.
The spraying part 5 is inserted into the nozzle house 9 from the upper side of the cylinder, and the spraying part 5 is urged upward from the bottom of the nozzle house 9 by the coil spring 8 locked and fixed to the lower end of the spraying part 5. It was done. At the upper end of the nozzle house 9, an overhang 6 for positioning the nozzle body 4 is provided.
The nozzle housing 9 has a shape substantially coinciding with the inner diameter, and is protruded from the upper end side of the outer peripheral portion of the nozzle house 9 at appropriate intervals over the entire circumference. The circumferential side serves as a fitting portion for the seal member 7,
Is provided with a slope 17 that is inclined inward toward the bottom 13 side of the nozzle house 9.

The height of the fixed portion 3 protruding into the inner side is made equal to the outer diameter of the nozzle house 9 or formed so as to be slightly away from the nozzle house 9. It is formed without caulking. Thus, when the nozzle body 4 is mounted on the nozzle support portion 2, the lower inclined surface 17 of the overhang portion 6 is pressed against the curved upper side of the fixed portion 3 and is locked in an immovable state. When a strong force is applied, the overhang 6
The fixed portion 3 is pushed open while sliding in the pressing direction by utilizing the elasticity of the nozzle body, so that the nozzle body 4 is disengaged from the nozzle support portion 2 in a snap manner. Preferably, the fixing portion 3 is provided after the nozzle body 4 is mounted on the nozzle support portion 2. This is because when the nozzle body 4 is fitted after the fixing portion 3 is provided on the nozzle support portion 2, This is because the nozzle body 4 must be mounted from the side where the member 7 is fitted, and the fitting with the nozzle support 2 cannot be performed.

Next, actual use of the present spray type container will be described with reference to FIGS. This spray container is
When the contents in the container are sprayed, the use is the same as that of the conventional spray-type container described above. Therefore, the use in the case where the spray-type container is discarded is shown here. First, the nozzle cap (not shown) fitted to the nozzle body 4 is removed to expose the spray unit 5. Next, the upper end side of the spray unit 5 is
For example, the nozzle body 4 is pressed against a hard ground or a base with a strong pressing force for applying weight, and a force stronger than the pressing of a finger during use from the upper end of the nozzle body 4 is applied. At this time, the nozzle body 4
And the container body 1 are snap-fitted,
The container main body 1 and the nozzle main body 4 are disengaged from each other by the force applied from above, the nozzle main body 4 is detached from the nozzle support 2, and the internal space of the container main body 1 passes through the projecting opening 12 of the spray unit 5. To communicate with the outside of the container.

The strength for supporting the projecting portion 6 of the nozzle body 4 from the fixing portion 3 of the container body 1 is set so as not to be deviated by a pressing force (a pressing force by a finger) when the spray type container is used. is there. Specifically, the pressing force at the time of using the spray type container is such that the thickness of the sealing member 7 is pushed down in order to connect the through hole 15 of the spraying part 5 to the inside of the nozzle house 9. The pressing force applied when the used spray-type container is discarded is set by the lower end of the spray unit 5 against the urging of the coil spring 8. Bottom 1 of
The container main body 1 and the nozzle main body 4 are set so that the fitting between the container main body 1 and the nozzle main body 4 is released when a strong pressing force is applied such that the container main body 3 is pressed down until it comes into contact with the nozzle main body 3.

The spray container shown in FIG. 4 is shown in FIG.
As shown in (b), a groove 10 is provided along the vicinity of the outer edge of the bottom portion 13 of the nozzle house 9. this is,
When the nozzle main body 4 is held in a state of being strongly caulked such that it cannot be detached from the nozzle support portion 2 as in a conventional spray type container,
The lower end of the spray unit 5 is in contact with the bottom 13 of the nozzle house 9 and is pressed by the spray unit 5 so that the bottom 13 is divided along the groove 10 and falls into the container body 1. . As a result, the spraying part 5 also falls into the container body 1 together with the bottom part 13, so that the container body 1
Is communicated to the outside through the projecting port 12 of the spray unit 5.

[0015]

According to the spray type container of the present invention, it can be used without any trouble during normal use, and at the time of disposal, the nozzle main body can be easily operated from the container main body by merely applying a force stronger than a finger pressure. And can be safely removed. Therefore, it is possible to extract the high-pressure gas remaining in the container without having to pierce the bottom and sides of the spray-type container with a tool such as an awl or a special tool. There is no danger of injury when the container is opened, and no waste of time is required for opening the hole even in a factory or the like that uses a large amount of spray containers.

Further, in this spray type container, when the nozzle body comes off from the container body, the high-pressure gas sealed in the container is released, so that the nozzle body is fixed on a solid ground or base while the spray port is directed downward. It is also possible to remove the container by pressing it strongly, so that the high-pressure gas and the residual contents in the container do not wipe on the face when the hole is opened.
