Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to an aerosol device, and more particularly to a convenient and safe aerosol container cap that can be used without removing the lid.

<Prior art> In general, an aerosol device is constructed by attaching a nozzle with a spout to a spout pipe protruding from the top end of an aerosol can, and fitting this nozzle with a cap.When using the device, the cap must be removed. Afterwards, press the nozzle with your finger to eject the ejected material from the aerosol can in the form of a mist.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, with conventional aerosol devices, the cap must be removed from the aerosol can before use, making it inconvenient to handle. Because the nozzle protrudes, the nozzle may come into contact with other utensils, etc., and the ejected material in the aerosol can may be ejected unexpectedly, which poses a safety problem.

<Means for solving the problem> The present invention was made in view of the current situation, and it makes it possible to eject the ejected material from the aerosol can with the cap of the aerosol can kept in place. Furthermore, safety is ensured by preventing the nozzle from operating even if the aerosol can inadvertently comes into contact with other objects.

<Example> Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an aerosol can, with a jet pipe 2 protruding from the upper center end, and a cylindrical nozzle 3 attached to the jet pipe 2. The nozzle 3 has a jet nozzle 4 at the front center of the circumferential surface, a tapered surface 5 above the jet nozzle 4, and a positioning rib 6 protruding from the rear peripheral wall on the opposite side to the jet nozzle 4.

Reference numeral 7 designates a cap body that fits into the aerosol can 1 from above the nozzle 3 attached to the ejection pipe 2, and is provided with a through hole 8 through which the nozzle 3 protrudes. A recess 9 is provided to open the front side of the spout 4. Further, a positioning groove 10 is further provided at the rear end of the through hole 8, and the nozzle 3
A positioning rib 6 protruding from the rear circumferential wall of the nozzle 3 is fitted into the positioning groove 10 to fix the nozzle 3 with its ejection port facing the front opening of the recess 9. Reference numeral 11 indicates a slide groove provided at the upper end portions of both sides of the recess 9, and reference numeral 12 indicates a stopper attached to the tip of the slide groove 11.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a nozzle operation switch installed in the recess 9 of the cap main body 7, and a protrusion 14 protruding from both side walls is fitted into a slide groove 11 provided at the upper end of both side walls of the recess 9 so as to be slidable in the front and rear direction. Together, they are installed in the recess 9. This nozzle operation switch 13 has a nozzle holder 16 integrally connected thereto, which has a tapered surface 15 having the same slope as the tapered surface 5 of the nozzle 3 at its lower end.
When moving the nozzle holder backwards, press this nozzle holder 16.
The tapered surface 15 of the nozzle 3 is brought into contact with the tapered surface 5 of the nozzle 3 and the nozzle 3 is slid downward, so that the ejected material in the aerosol can 1 is ejected from the ejection port 4 of the nozzle 3.

Reference numeral 17 designates a sliding guide plate integrally protruding from the rear of the nozzle operation switch 13, and reference numeral 18 represents an elastic piece attached to the rear of the nozzle operation switch 13. A sliding guide plate 17, which also serves as a cover, ensures that the guide plate 17 does not enter the groove, and is well guided in the front-back direction during sliding. Therefore, it is always urged forward. At this time, since the stopper 12 is attached to the tip of the slide groove 11, the protrusions 14 protruding from both ends of the nozzle operation switch 13 do not come off the slide groove 11, and the elastic piece 18
The nozzle operation switch 13, which is always urged forward by the switch, does not jump out of the recess 9.
Furthermore, the nozzle operation switch 13 is provided with a curved tapered surface 19 at its tip to facilitate manual sliding operation.

The cap body 7, which has the nozzle operation switch 13 installed in the recess 9 in this manner, engages the protrusion 20 protruding inside the lower periphery with the protrusion 21 protruding from the upper periphery of the aerosol can 1. and is fitted into the aerosol can 1.

<Function> The cap of the aerosol container of the present invention is constructed as described above, and when in use, slide the nozzle operation switch 13 backward with your finger and press the nozzle holder 16.
The tapered surface 15 of the nozzle 3 is brought into contact with the tapered surface 5 of the nozzle 3, and the nozzle 3 is slid downward by the tapered surface 5, and the aerosol is ejected from the spout 4 of the nozzle 3 housed in the recess 9 of the cap body 7. Squirt out the ejecta in can 1. To stop the jetting, all you have to do is remove your finger from the nozzle operation switch 13. When you release your finger, the nozzle operating switch 13 automatically slides forward by the elastic piece 18, causing the nozzle 3 to rise and stop the jetting. Ru.

<Effects of the invention> As explained above, in the present invention, while the cap body 7 is fitted into the aerosol can 1,
Without removing the cap body 7, the material in the aerosol can 1 can be easily and reliably spouted by simply operating the nozzle operation switch 13, which is housed in the recess 9 of the cap body 7 so as to be slidable back and forth, with your finger. It is extremely convenient to handle since there is no need to remove the cap. In addition, the nozzle 3 is housed in the recess 9 of the cap body 7, and its upper part is covered with a nozzle operation switch 13, which prevents dust from adhering to the nozzle 3 and prevents the nozzle 3 from coming into contact with external objects. Therefore, there is no possibility that the nozzle 3 will be operated by inadvertently coming into contact with external objects, etc., and the ejected material in the aerosol can 1 will not be unexpectedly ejected, resulting in excellent safety.
