Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to aerosol products.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Aerosol products are made by sealing a propellant (gas) such as flammable gas (dimethyl ether, liquefied petroleum gas such as butane or propane) or compressed gas (nitrogen, carbon dioxide, air, etc.) in a container. If the propellant is left in the container and incinerated or scrapped, there is a risk of explosion or rupture. Therefore, a simple gas venting device that can keep pushing a push button or a spout has been developed to inform consumers that the garbage should be used up after it is completely used up (for example, Japanese Patent No. 2729163). Etc.) However, the aerosol product has no change in appearance even if the gas is completely exhausted, so it cannot be visually determined, and it may be accidentally discarded with the gas remaining.
[0003]
And once it is taken out as trash, it cannot be judged whether it is completely used up, and it cannot be separated again at the disposal site, etc., so it can be incinerated and cause an explosion or explosion accident Sometimes. Moreover, in order to confirm that gas does not remain reliably, actions, such as operating an injection member, such as a button and a spout, or shaking an aerosol product, are required, and it takes time and effort.
[0004]
On the other hand, if it is made to discard after making a hole in a container and degassing, it can be judged visually. However, tools such as nails and hammers are necessary, which takes time. Moreover, it is difficult to find in the case of small holes. Therefore, it is not expected that the consumer performs a process such as opening a hole, as compared with the case of the gas exhaustion process using the ejection member.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
It is a first technical object of the present invention to make it possible to know whether or not the above-described aerosol product has been subjected to a process of degassing by appearance without giving a heavy burden to consumers. Furthermore, the second technical problem of the present invention is to provide an aerosol product that can indicate that gas has already escaped at the same time when members of different materials are separated and discarded.

  Hide displayInjection memberMade of aerosol that is detachableIn goodsIsInjection memberWhen the container is removed from the container, a display indicating that “degassing has been completed” that has been maintained in an invisible state appears and can be seen. Further display is simplyInjection memberThe user is only covered withInjection memberYou just need to do the simple act of removing the. Therefore, it does not require any tools such as writing utensils and takes little time and effort. Therefore, there is little burden on consumers and the probability of being executed is high. Furthermore, because people have a psychological aspect that they want to see what is hidden,Injection memberThe act of removing is not a hassle, but rather an interest to consumers,Injection memberThere is a high possibility that the removal of the gas will be performed, and as a result, the effect of degassing is high.
[0014]
  Also containerAnd materialsDifferent quality jetsMaterialAttaching with some parts hiddenFor,After the degassing is completed, the indication “degassed” naturally appears on the outside simply by separating and discarding the injection member. Therefore, the burden on the user is further reduced. Furthermore, if the consumer is informed that the display of “degassing” will appear when the injection member is removed, the consumer will be more interested in what kind of display will appear, and the consumer will be more likely to dispose of separately. .

  The second aspect of the aerosol product of the present invention is:An aerosol container having a container, a valve attached to the upper end opening of the container, a shoulder cover engaged with the mounting cup of the valve, and a button fitted to the stem of the valve, and attached to the outer periphery of the container And having a label sheet indicating that the degassing has been completed, and a cover sheet that is pasted from above the label sheet so as to cover the label sheet,The display appears just by peeling or tearing the film or sheet. This makes it easier for consumers to execute. Furthermore, it is easy to make other indications such as an explanation of degassing and then breaking the film or sheet on the film or sheet, or how to use or dispose of the aerosol product.
[0016]
Moreover, since the upper part of the cover sheet is extended to the lower side of the shoulder cover and the entire cover sheet cannot be peeled off without removing the shoulder cover, the shoulder cover and the container can be reliably disposed of and discarded. .
In addition, because the entire cover sheet can be peeled off,Covering can be performed at the same time as labeling on aerosol products. Therefore, the cost for mass production can be reduced. Also, “Display” and “Covering sheet”May be used in advance, and in this case, the cost can be further reduced.
[0017]
  The third aspect of the aerosol product of the present invention is:A degassed container is provided with a display member provided with an indication that the degassing has been performed, and the display member is detachably attached to the container or its accessory member in a state where it cannot be seen from the outside. AndIn the state where the operation member of the valve is ejected,In a state visible from the outsideHas means to attachFor,When the consumer removes the display member from the injection member or the like and attaches it to the container or the like, the gas in the container is released, and at the same time, the degassing display can be performed. Therefore, it is clear from the appearance that the container after degassing is degassed, and conversely, it is possible to prevent erroneous display on a container that has not been degassed.
[0018]
  The operation member is a push button,The display member is a flexible tape-shaped member, and the display memberAt least near both endsSince it has means for attaching to the container main body or the injection member in a state where it is visible from the outside in a state where the operation member of the valve is being ejected,Tape-like display removed from the jetting memberPartsAttach the vicinity of both ends to the container with the push button pressed. Thereby, the gas in the container is released, and at the same time, the degassing display can be performed.

[0028]
The aerosol product A shown in FIG. 1 includes a container 1, a valve attached to the upper end opening of the container, a shoulder cover 2 engaged with the mounting cup of the valve, and a button (push-button) fitted to the stem of the valve. Button) 3. The container 1 is a well-known thing which press-molded metal thin plates, such as aluminum and tinplate, for example, and has the bottom part 4, the trunk | drum 5, and the shoulder part 6 provided in the upper end of the trunk | drum (refer FIG. 3). The container 1 is filled with a stock solution to be ejected and a propellant for injecting the stock solution. The valve, the shoulder cover 2 and the button 3 are also known. The button 3 is provided with an injection port 3a.
[0029]
The feature of the aerosol product A is a label sheet 7 attached to the outer periphery of the body portion 5 of the container 1 and a cover sheet 8 attached so as to cover the label sheet from above the label sheet 7. On the label sheet 7, an indication that the contents, particularly the propellant (gas), has been completely discharged from the container 1, such as “degassed”, is displayed. The label sheet 7 is manufactured from, for example, a film or sheet such as paper, synthetic resin, metal foil, or a laminate thereof. The label sheet 7 is attached with an adhesive such as glue, synthetic resin, or synthetic rubber so that the label sheet 7 is not easily peeled off from the container 1. The display may be directly printed on the surface of the container 1.
[0030]
The cover sheet 8 is a kind of covering element in claim 1 and covers the label sheet 7 so that the display of the label sheet 7 is not visible. The cover sheet 8 is made of an opaque film or sheet such as paper, synthetic resin, metal foil, or a laminate thereof. The cover sheet 8 is relatively easily attached from the container 1 by adhering only to the periphery of the display or by adhering the label sheet 7 with an adhesive having a lower adhesive strength than the adhesive for adhering the label sheet 7 to the container 1. Alternatively, it is attached so that it can be peeled off from the label sheet 7. The surface of the label sheet 7 may be coated with a silicone resin or the like so that the adhesive of the cover sheet 8 can be easily peeled off. On the periphery of the cover sheet 8, particularly on the corner portion, a knob piece 9 for protruding when being peeled is projected. On the surface of the cover sheet 8, there are written explanations or cautions such as “Be sure to degas before disposal” and “Peel off this sheet after degassing”. A detailed explanation of the degassing method such as “Press and hold button 3 for a certain period of time to degas” and “Confirm that there is no content by shaking the container” is shown on other explanatory labels 10 and the like. You may make it leave.
[0031]
In the aerosol product A configured as described above, after the user has used up the contents of the aerosol product, the button 3 is continuously pressed for a certain period of time in accordance with the explanation on the explanation label 10 and the like, and the gas is vented. And after confirming degassing, the knob 9 of the cover sheet 8 is pulled as shown by an arrow to peel off the cover sheet 8. Thereby, a display such as “Degassed” on the label sheet 7 below it appears. Next, the metal container 1 and the synthetic resin shoulder cover 2 and button 3 are separated and stored until the collection date of the resource waste. Therefore, on the day of the collection date, the display of “degassed” of the container 1 can be visually confirmed and disposed of with peace of mind. In addition, about the container 1 which has not peeled off the cover sheet 8 and there is no indication of “degassed”, the presence or absence of degassing is confirmed by shaking the container 1 again. Then, the cover sheet 8 is peeled off and discarded.
[0032]
The garbage collector or recycler can see whether or not the gas remains from the display of “Degassed”. Therefore, only those that have not been degassed are degassed again, and only the container 1 that has been degassed is removed. It can be used for compression / reproduction processing.
[0033]
As described above, since the aerosol product A in FIG. 1 has the cover sheet 8 on the degassed display, the user simply indicates that the degassing has been performed by simply removing the cover sheet 8. Can do. Furthermore, the act of removing the cover sheet 8 provokes an interest to see the unknown below. Therefore, the possibility of being executed is high. Moreover, there is a high possibility that the degassing operation as a premise for removing the cover sheet 8 will also be executed.
[0034]
FIG. 2a shows the main part of an aerosol product employing a so-called scratch-type coating 8a as a covering element. This is provided with an opaque coating 8a such as metal powder, synthetic resin powder, film-forming resin, etc., on the "degassed" display 7a printed on the surface of the body 5 of the container 1. It is. The coating 8a can be provided by a method such as transfer (particularly thermal transfer) or screen printing. In this case, a hot melt adhesive or the like may be printed or transferred in a predetermined shape on the surface of the container 1, and the metal powder of the material of the coating 8a may be transferred thereon. Moreover, the label sheet 7 in FIG. 1 may be affixed to the container 1, and the coating | cover 8a may be provided on it. In that case, a coating 8a can be provided on the label sheet 7 in advance. In any case, it is preferable to make it difficult to peel off by increasing the adhesive strength of the peripheral edge 8b of the coating 8a. As a result, the center portion of the covering 8a can be protected when an object is accidentally rubbed against it.
[0035]
In the above aerosol product, after degassing the container 1, as shown in FIG. 2b, the coating 8a can be peeled off by rubbing the center of the coating 8a with a coin or the like. Then, by scraping off the central part of all the coverings 8a, as shown in FIG. 2c, it is possible to expose the "degassed" display 7a. This can have the same effect as the aerosol product A in FIG. 1, and the display 7a under the coating 8a gradually appears, so that it can be executed and engendered by the user. The nature becomes even higher.
[0036]
The aerosol product B shown in FIG. 3 has a label sheet 7 labeled “Degassed” attached to the shoulder 6 of the container 1. The display may be printed directly on the surface of the shoulder 6. The label sheet 7 and the like are covered with a shoulder cover 2 that covers the shoulder 6. The shoulder cover 2 is included in the injection member of claim 3. The shoulder cover 2 includes a cylindrical outer peripheral wall 11, an intermediate wall 12, and an inner peripheral wall 13, which are connected by vertical ribs 14 and 15. The lower end of the outer peripheral wall 11 is in contact with the lower portion of the shoulder 6 of the container 1, and the lower end of the intermediate wall 12 is elastically engaged with the outer peripheral flange 18 of the mounting cup 17 of the valve 16. The lower end of the inner peripheral wall 13 is fitted into the mounting cup 17. Thereby, the shoulder cover 2 is detachably attached to the container 1. The container 1 is made of metal such as aluminum or tinplate, and the shoulder cover 2 and the button 3 are made of synthetic resin.
[0037]
The body part of the container 1 has a degassing method such as “continue to push the button before venting the aerosol product to degas”, a degassing confirmation method, a degassing confirmation, An explanatory label 10 is attached, which indicates that the button should be removed and discarded separately and the method thereof. In addition, you may make it print those descriptions directly on the surface of the container 1. FIG.
[0038]
The aerosol product B configured as described above, after the user has finished using the aerosol product, degassed according to the instructions of the explanation label, and when the shoulder cover 2 is removed, the label sheet 7 of the shoulder 6 appears, It is displayed that the container 1 has already been degassed. Therefore, in this aerosol product B, the synthetic resin shoulder cover 2 and button 3 and the aluminum container 1 are separated and discarded, and the degassing of the container 1 is displayed. However, there is no need to reconfirm the contents immediately before the disposal, or the recovery contractor or the regeneration contractor reconfirms the presence or absence of degassing. Therefore, the risk of an accident such as explosion or rupture at the time of incineration with residual gas is reduced. Further, there is a higher possibility that sorting and discarding will be performed.
[0039]
The aerosol product C shown in FIG. 4 has a large “degassed” display 20 printed on the surface of the body 5 of the container body 1. And it is covered with an opaque packaging film 21. The packaging film 21 is preferably a shrink film, for example. The packaging film 21 describes precautions regarding degassing similar to the explanation label 10 in the aerosol products A and B of FIGS. 1 and 3 and that the packaging film 21 should be torn after degassing.
[0040]
In this aerosol product C, after the user performs the degassing operation, the user only tears the packaging film 21 and the degassing indication 20 appears. Thereby, the same effect as the above-mentioned case is produced. Since the degassed display 20 is larger than in the above-described embodiment, the visual effect and the safety effect are higher. Further, since the display 20 is provided on the container 1 by printing, there is almost no possibility that the display 20 is peeled off or peeled off.
[0041]
In addition, although the display 20 is provided in the trunk | drum 5 in the aerosol product C of FIG. 4, you may make it provide in the shoulder part 6. FIG. Although the display 20 is provided by printing, it may be displayed on a label sheet.
[0042]
The aerosol product D shown in FIG. 5 is substantially the same as the aerosol product A shown in FIG. 1, but the upper part 8 a of the cover sheet 8 pasted on the label sheet 7 extends below the shoulder cover 2. For example, it is affixed on the shoulder 6 of the container 1. Therefore, the entire cover sheet 8 cannot be peeled off unless the shoulder cover 2 is removed. Therefore, the sorting and disposal of the shoulder cover 2 and the container 1 is reliably performed.
[0043]
In the aerosol product D of FIG. 5, the shoulder cover 2 and the button 3 are integrally formed of a synthetic resin in which the hinge 23 is continuous. Therefore, when the shoulder cover 2 is removed from the container 1, the button 3 is also removed at the same time, and separation and disposal are further thorough. Such integration of the shoulder cover 2 and the button 3 is preferably employed in the aerosol products A and B shown in FIGS. In this embodiment, a button 3 having a spout 3b is employed.
[0044]
In the above-described embodiment, the container 1 is made of metal and the shoulder cover 2 is made of synthetic resin. However, the combination of the synthetic resin container and the metal shoulder cover has the same effect. Is done. In the case of a double aerosol product, etc., a gas venting valve may be separately provided at the bottom of the container. In this case, the same effect can be obtained by providing a degassing display and a covering element covering it. An effect is produced.
[0045]
An aerosol product E shown in FIG. 6 has a flexible tape 31 provided with a display 20 indicating that the gas has been degassed on the inner surface of the cap 30, preferably near the lower end thereof. The tape 31 is preferably a synthetic resin tape having a relatively high strength. A display 20 is provided on one surface of the tape 31 along the longitudinal direction by printing or the like, and an adhesive layer or an adhesive layer is provided on the other surface. A separation surface such as a Teflon coat is provided on the inner surface of the cap 30, and a tape 31 is attached thereon. Reference numeral 32 denotes a knob for gripping the end of the tape 31.
[0046]
Since the tape 31 is in the cap 30 when the aerosol product E is used, the display 20 is not visible from the outside. After the use of the aerosol product 31, the consumer peels off the tape 31 from the cap 30, attaches the central portion of the tape 31 onto the button 3, pushes the button 3 down, and then attaches both ends of the tape 30 to each other. Affix to the side of the container 1. Thereby, the container 1 communicates with the outside, and the gas remaining in the container 1 is released. When the container 1 is discarded, the tape 31 is left as it is.
[0047]
When discarded in this state, the tape 31 is provided with a display 20 indicating that the gas has escaped, so that it can be understood that the waste collection company has already degassed. Moreover, since the state where the tape 30 is pressing the button 3 can be seen from the outside, the collection company or the like can collect the container 1 with more peace of mind.
[0048]
When the shoulder cover is detachably provided on the container 1, the tape 31 may be attached to the inner surface of the shoulder cover. When the cap 30 is transparent, another tape for hiding the display on the surface of the tape 31 may be overlapped and pasted as a covering element. When such a covering element is used or when it is attached face down, it may be attached to the surface of the cap 30 or the shoulder cover or the surface of the container 1. Moreover, when it has a bottom cover, it can also affix on the inside of a bottom cover.
[0049]
In the aerosol product E <b> 2 shown in FIG. 7, the locking tape 33 is accommodated inside the shoulder cover 2. The locking tape 33 is made of synthetic resin or metal having a certain degree of flexibility with a thickness of about 0.5 to 2 mm, and the display 20 is provided on the surface. And the latching protrusion 35 engaged with the inner surface side of the flange part 18 of the mounting cup 17 of the container 1 or a winding fastening part is provided in the back surface of both ends.
[0050]
In this case, when the aerosol product E2 is used, the indication 20 of the locking tape 33 is not visible from the outside. After use, the locking tape 33 is taken out from the shoulder cover 2 and the button 3 is pushed down while hooking the central portion on the button 3, and the locking protrusions 35 at both ends of the locking tape 33 are attached to the flange portion 18. Hook. As a result, gas is released from the container 1 and the locking tape 33 is pulled by the upward force of the button 3, so that the state is maintained. Furthermore, since the display 20 is provided on the locking tape 33, it can be seen that the waste collection company or the like is immediately degassed. This can also be attached to the shoulder cover 2, the surface of the container 1, the bottom cover or the like with the face down.
[0051]
In the aerosol product F of FIGS. 8 a to c, a button cover 37 is covered around the button 3. The button cover 37 has a cylindrical shape with a bottom, and a tongue piece 38 that is concealed from the other parts by slits on the left and right sides is provided through a hinge portion 39 so that the button 3 is always hidden on the upper surface and lifted when used. (See FIG. 8b). On the inner periphery of the lower end of the button cover 37, as shown in FIG. 8b, a locking projection 40 that engages with the flange portion 18 of the mounting cup is provided.
[0052]
Further, in the aerosol product F, the tongue piece 38 is easily separated by a so-called weak line at the hinge portion 39. Engaging protrusions 41 and 42 that engage with each other are provided on the back surface of the upper surface of the button cover 37 and the back surface of the tongue piece 38. As shown in the lower part of FIG. 8a, a display 20 is provided on the back surface of the tongue piece 38 to indicate degassing.
[0053]
After using the aerosol product, the tongue piece 38 is separated from the button cover 37 and is inserted between the upper surface of the button cover 37 and the button 3 by turning up and down and front and back. At that time, the engagement protrusions 41 and 42 are engaged with each other. Accordingly, the tongue piece 38 is held so as not to be easily removed, and the button 3 is held in a constantly pressed state. As a result, the residual gas is completely discharged, and at the same time, a display 20 indicating that the degassing is completed appears on the surface side. Therefore, when the waste collection company or the like collects, it can be immediately understood that the degassing has been completed by both the state of pressing the button 3 and the display 20.
[0054]
In the aerosol product G shown in FIG. 9, the upper part of the cover cap 45 is recessed, and a gas venting tool 46 is detachably fitted in that part. The gas venting tool 46 includes a bottomed cylindrical main body 47, a flange portion 48 protruding from the peripheral edge portion thereof, and a cylindrical fitting cylinder 48 a protruding from the bottom portion of the main body 47. The flange portion can be omitted. On the inner surface of the main body 47, a locking projection 40 that engages with the flange portion 18 of the mounting cup of the aerosol product G is provided. The fitting cylinder 48a includes a step portion 50 that engages with the upper end of the stem 49 of the aerosol product, and a gas discharge hole 51 is formed at the center thereof. Further, the back surface 52 of the main body 47 is provided with a display indicating that the gas has been degassed in the same manner as described above.
[0055]
