[Problems to be solved by the invention] The conventional aerosol product shown in Figure 6 has the problem that if the container 1 is large, it is difficult to hold in the hand and is heavy, making it difficult to physically operate it. be.

In addition, conventional aerosol products equipped with a grip have a problem in that the weight of the container applies a moment to the operator's hand, making it difficult to operate.

The object of the present invention is to provide an aerosol product that can be easily operated, whether it is a small aerosol product or a large aerosol product.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The aerosol product of the present invention is a bottomed cylindrical aerosol container with an injection valve in the center of the mouth, which is held in an inverted state when injecting in a substantially horizontal direction. and attached to the mouth of the aerosol container,
A gripping portion located below the aerosol container in the inverted state and within a space substantially defined by an extended surface of the side wall of the container, and a hand that is directly connected to the injection valve and holding the gripping portion. The injection valve is provided in a part where the thumb touches, has an injection hole oriented substantially perpendicular to the axis of the aerosol container, and is configured to open the injection valve by pushing the injection valve with the thumb in substantially the same direction as the injection direction. It consists of a trigger.

Preferably, the gripping portion includes a protective cover that can be moved between a position where the trigger is covered and protected, and a position where the trigger is exposed and ready for use.

[Function] In the aerosol product of the present invention, the grip part can hold the aerosol product, so even if the container is large, it can be easily held in the hand. Also, even if it is heavy, it will not be difficult to handle. Furthermore, since you can operate the trigger with your thumb while holding the grip, spraying can be done extremely easily.

[Example] Next, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 is a cross-sectional side view of essential parts of an aerosol product A according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a front view of the aerosol product A of Figure 1, and Figure 3 is an injection jet used in the aerosol product of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the main part showing another example of the injection valve used in the aerosol product of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a structural explanation of the aerosol product A of the above embodiment It is a diagram.

1 and 2 show an aerosol product A according to an embodiment, and in the figures, 1 is a bottomed cylindrical aerosol container, and 2 is the aerosol container 1.
An injection valve is provided in the center of the mouth of the machine, 3 is a grip part,
4 is a trigger for opening the injection valve 2. This aerosol product A basically has a configuration in which the aerosol container 1 is attached to the upper end of the grip part 3 in an inverted state (with the injection valve 2 facing downward, the same applies hereinafter).

The aerosol container 1 is a metal pressure-resistant container made of aluminum, tinplate, or the like, and an aerosol content such as a glass cleaner, hair spray, or aerosol paint is filled therein together with a propellant. The injection valve 2 is a known valve that opens when the stem is pushed in the axial direction or tilted so that the axis is tilted, and can inject the liquid contained therein. For example, in the former type of direct-push type injection valve, as shown in FIG. In the latter type of tilting type injection valve, when the stem 21 is pushed down in the direction of arrow F as shown in FIG. One in which the through hole 24 and the valve chamber 23 communicate with each other is adopted.

The gripping part 3 is made of synthetic resin and has a shape similar to the gripping part of a piston, and has a fitting part 31 at its upper end that fits and fixes the mouth part 11 of the aerosol container 1. A hollow cavity 33 is formed in a portion above the center of the grip portion 3 . The gripping portion 3 is not particularly limited as long as it has a shape that is easy to hold by hand, and various shapes can be adopted, and the presence or absence of ribs can be freely selected. This grip part 3
As a result, the mouth portion 11 of the aerosol container 1 is firmly fitted into the fitting portion 31, and the aerosol container 1 is stably held in an inverted state.

The trigger 4 is a relatively vertically short rectangular member made of the same material as the gripping part 3, and is separated from the gripping part 3 by a thin hinge part 41 connected to the fitting part 31. connected together. Then, it is inserted into the cavity 33 formed in the gripping part 3 while keeping an appropriate distance, and the thumb of the hand gripping the gripping part 3 is placed on the back surface of the gripping part 3 so that it is aligned with the axis of the aerosol container. When pushed in the vertical direction, the trigger 4 swings in the direction of arrow F using the hinge portion 41 as a fulcrum. The trigger 4 also has a fitting hole 42 for fitting the tip of the injection valve 2, and an injection hole 43 facing perpendicular to the axis of the aerosol container 1.
A valve pusher 45 having a valve pusher 45 is connected by a connecting portion 46 . Note that the fitting hole 42 and the injection hole 43 are communicated with each other by an internal passage 44. Since the bottom of the fitting hole 42 is in contact with the tip end surface of the injection valve 2, when the trigger 4 is moved in the direction of arrow F, if the injection valve 2 is a direct push type, it will move in the axial direction. The valve opens when pushed, and if it is a tilting type, it opens when it is tilted diagonally. With this configuration, the aerosol content can be sprayed by pressing the trigger 4 with the thumb. In addition, in the above operation, the distance from the hinge part 41, which is the fulcrum, to the part where the thumb touches can be made longer than the distance between the hinge part 41 and the injection valve 2, so it can be opened with a light operating force due to the lever principle. It can be done.
Moreover, it is very easy to operate because it can be operated with the thumb, which is easy to apply force.

In the configuration of the present embodiment described above, the fitting portion 3 of the gripping portion 3
If the dimensions of the fitting hole 42 of the grip part 3 and trigger 4 are matched to the mouth part 11 of the aerosol container 1 and the injection valve 2, the integrally molded part of the grip part 3 and trigger 4 can be fitted into an aerosol product with a conventional configuration. The aerosol product A of the present invention can be constituted by simply
It is also effective in reducing manufacturing costs. Furthermore, in the aerosol product A of this embodiment, if the protective shelf 5 is attached as shown in FIG. 5, the trigger 4 may be moved unexpectedly before use, causing the aerosol contents to be sprayed. Accidents can be prevented. Such a protective shelf 5 is not limited to the form shown in the figure, but may be a cap-shaped one, or it may be formed integrally with the grip part 3 in advance as shown in the figure, and when used, the notches 51 at both ends of the protective shelf 5 are formed. , 51, or may be detachably attached using an appropriate dovetail groove.

In the aerosol product A of this embodiment, the grip part 3 can be held and supported by the hand as described above, so even if the aerosol container 1 is large, it can be supported easily, and the trigger 4 can be moved simply with the thumb. Since it can be sprayed with the aerosol content, it has the advantage of being very easy to operate.

All of the embodiments described above are suitable for large-sized aerosol products, such as glass cleaners that use a large amount of liquid, hair sprays for commercial use, and the like. However, it is not limited to large aerosol products, and even small aerosol products are easy to use because of their light operation, and are particularly suitable for types that vaporize and blow away liquefied gas.

Note that the injection hole 43 provided on the front surface of the trigger 4
It is preferable to make the aerosol protrude from the front surface so that the aerosol content to be ejected will not adhere to the fingers or the like holding the grip part 3.

[Effects of the invention] The present invention makes it possible to easily handle not only small aerosol containers but also aerosol products equipped with large, heavy aerosol containers, thereby preventing worker fatigue. he,
It has high practical value.
