  Here, the stem 2, the cover cap lower portion 3, the output side passage portion 4, the cover cap upper portion 5 and the operation portion 6 are made of plastic such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polyacetal, nylon, polybutylene terephthalate, and the like. The container body 1 is made of metal, for example.

  As described above, the lower unit of the cover cap lower part 3 and the output side passage part 4, and the upper unit of the cover cap upper part 5 and the operation part 6 are integrally molded products.

The basic features of the illustrated content release state switching mechanism are:
(21) The output side passage portion 4 that is always attached to the container body 1, that is, in the operation mode of the contents injection state, and includes the first nozzle 4b and the second nozzle 4h in the front-rear direction reverse position, and the operation mode The cover cap that protects the setting operation unit 6 and the like is divided into a cover cap lower part 3 and a cover cap upper part 5;
(22) The cover cap lower portion 3 and the output side passage portion 4 are lower units that do not rotate in the cover cap circumferential direction between them.
(23) The cover cap upper part 5 and the operation part 6 are upper units that do not rotate in the cover cap circumferential direction between them.
(24) The cover cap lower part 3 is fixedly attached to the container body 1, and the lower end opening 4a of the output side passage part 4 integral with the cover cap lower part is fitted to the stem 2,
(25) The cover cap upper part 5 is arranged in such a manner that the cover cap upper part 5 can be rotated relative to the cover cap lower part 3, and the operation part 6 integrated with the cover cap upper part is provided as the output side passage part 4. For the relative rotation between the two is arranged in a manner that allows relative rotation,
That is.

  That is, for example, when the user grips the container body 1, the lower unit of the cover cap lower part 3 and the lower unit of the output side passage part 4 are also fixed, and the upper unit of the cover cap upper part 5 and the operation part 6 are connected to the lower unit. The cover cap can be rotated in the circumferential direction.

  As the upper unit rotates in the circumferential direction, the opening 6b of the operation unit 6 is opposed to the first nozzle 4g or the second nozzle 4h, and the long hanging part 6f is the hole 4e of the output side passage unit 4. Alternatively, the holes 4f are selectively set in the closed state (see FIGS. 1 and 2).

  Of course, the positions of the first nozzle 4g and the second nozzle 4h constituting the lower unit fixed to the container body 1 do not change before and after the circumferential rotation operation of the upper unit.

  The output-side passage portion 4 (common longitudinal passage portion 4b, individual transverse passage portions 4c, 4d) and the cover cap lower portion 3 attached to the stem 2 are roof-shaped connecting portions 4n, 4p and flat plate-like standing portions 4k, 4m. It is integrated by hinge connection with each.

  The displacement action associated with the hinge coupling absorbs the variation in the upper end position of the stem to which the output side passage portion 4 is to be attached, so that the integrated attachment accuracy between the stem 2 and the output side passage portion 4 is ensured. Yes.

  FIG. 1 shows a stationary mode in which a circular pattern of contents can be ejected from the first nozzle 4g into the external space.

  At this time, the opening 6b of the operation portion 6 faces the first nozzle 4g, the long hanging portion 6f closes the hole 4f of the output side passage portion 4, and the short hanging portion 6g is a hole. It is set in a state located above 4e. Of course, the discharge operation blocking portion 6h of the operation portion 6 is displaced in the circumferential direction from the stopper portion 3f.

  The stem 2 and the first nozzle 4g communicate with each other through a common vertical passage 4b, a hole 4e, and an individual horizontal passage 4c.

  1 is urged upward by an elastic force and the well-known stem valve action part is closed, the contents of the container body 1 do not flow into the common longitudinal passage part 4b.

  FIG. 2 shows a stationary mode in a state where the contents of the vertically long elliptical pattern can be ejected from the second nozzle 4h to the external space area.

  1 is rotated 180 degrees with respect to the lower unit (the cover cap lower portion 3 and the output side passage portion 4) by rotating the upper unit of FIG. 1 (the cover cap upper portion 5 and the operation portion 6). This corresponds to a state where the relationship is reversed.

  At this time, the opening 6b of the operation portion 6 faces the second nozzle 4h, the long hanging portion 6f closes the hole 4e of the output side passage portion 4, and the short hanging portion 6g is a hole. It is set in a state positioned above 4f. As in the case of FIG. 1, the discharge operation blocking portion 6h of the operation portion 6 is displaced from the stopper portion 3f in the circumferential direction.

  The stem 2 and the second nozzle 4h communicate with each other through a common vertical passage portion 4b, a hole portion 4f, and an individual horizontal passage portion 4d.

  As in the case of FIG. 1, the well-known stem valve action portion is also closed in FIG. 2, so that the contents of the container body 1 do not flow into the common longitudinal passage portion 4b.

  FIG. 3 shows a lock mode in a state in which the upper unit (the cover cap upper part 5 and the operation unit 6) of FIG. 1 is rotated about 90 degrees counterclockwise when viewed from above.

  At this time, the opening 6b of the operation portion 6 faces the shielding portion 3g of the cover cap lower portion 3, the long hanging portion 6f closes the holes 4e and 4f of the output side passage portion 4, respectively, and The discharge operation blocking portion 6h is set in a state of facing and abutting the stopper portion 3f.

  Due to the opposing and abutting action of the discharge operation blocking portion 6h and the stopper portion 3f of the cover cap lower portion 3, the operation mode setting push-down operation to the operation portion 6 in the lock mode of FIG. 3 is reliably blocked.

  Further, since the opening 6b of the operation portion 6 faces the shielding portion 3g of the cover cap lower portion 3, the output side passage portion 4 (common vertical passage portion 4b, individual horizontal passage portion 4c) disposed inside the opening portion. , 4d outer peripheral surface portion, etc.) are unlikely to be annoying to the user.

  FIG. 4 shows a content injection state from the first nozzle 4g when the operation unit 6 of FIG. 1 is pushed down.

  When the user pushes down the top surface portion 6c of the operation unit 6 in FIG. 1, the operation unit rotates in the clockwise direction shown in the drawing around the thin portion 6a.

  Along with this rotation, the output-side passage portion 4 engaged with the sheath-like hanging portion 6d of the operating portion 6 and the plate-like standing portions 4k, 4m, roof-shaped connecting portions 4n, 4p, which are integrally formed therewith, and The top plate-like pieces 3d and 3e move downward while being displaced backwardly as a whole. This downward movement is a shift while resisting the known upward elastic force with respect to the stem 2.

  Along with this displacement and downward movement, the stem 2 also moves downward while resisting the elastic force in the upward direction, so that a well-known stem valve action portion (for example, a hole portion for communicating inside and outside the stem and this) The stem gasket against the above shifts from the closed state to the open state.

  By shifting the stem valve action part to the open state, the contents of the container main body 1 are acted on by the action of the propellant “stem valve action part—the internal passage area of the stem 2—the common vertical passage part 4b—the hole part 4e—individually. After passing through the lateral passage portion 4c ", the first nozzle 4g is sprayed into the external space area in a circular pattern.

  When the top plate surface portion 6c of FIG. 2 is pushed down, as in FIG. 4, “stem valve action portion—internal passage area of stem 2—common vertical passage portion 4b—hole portion 4f—individual transverse passage portion 4d. It goes without saying that the gas is ejected from the second nozzle 4h to the external space area in a vertically long elliptical pattern.

  When the user finishes pushing down the top surface portion 6c, the stem 2 and the output side passage portion 4 and the operation portion 6 that have been moved down (rotated) as shown in FIG. It moves upward (rotates) by the elastic force of the coil spring for urging the stem.

  Due to the upward rotation action based on this elastic force, the stem 2 and the like return to the stationary mode capable of circular pattern injection in FIG. 1 and the stationary mode capable of vertical elliptical upper pattern injection in FIG. .

In addition, of course, this invention is not limited to the content of illustration, for example,
(31) As a nozzle attached to the outflow side of the individual lateral passage portions 4c and 4d, for example, a type in which the content injection amount is adjusted by changing the diameter of the nozzle tip hole portion, or a groove portion provided on the nozzle tip side, etc. Use various types of nozzles, such as a type that atomizes
(32) The circumferential direction setting range of the long hanging part 6f of the operation unit 6 is set in the lock mode of FIG.
Instead of closing both the holes 4e and 4f of the output side passage 4 as shown in the figure, both the holes are opened, or one of the holes is opened.
(33) Set three or more individual horizontal passage portions and holes with the respective common vertical passage portions, and change the circumferential setting range of the long hanging portion 6f according to the position of the hole portions.
(34) As the operation unit, various operation members such as a vertical movement type, a tilt operation type and a trigger lever type are used.
(35) Reversing the shape relationship between the concave portion and the convex portion between any constituent elements,
(36) Instead of the opening 6b of the operation unit 6, a cutout-like portion for content injection that is continuously open to the top plate portion is formed.
(37) When the user selects and operates the respective states of FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the cover cap upper part 5 is fixed and held by hand and the cover cap lower part 3 and the container body 1 are then covered. Rotating with respect to the top of the cap,
