Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to an aerosol product cap that is attached to an aerosol product that stores aerosol contents such as glass cleaner and laundry starch.

``Prior Art'' Various types of aerosol products are on sale, in which the contents of a glass cleaner, laundry paste, etc. are stored in a can and sprayed in the form of a mist to the outside via an aerosol button.

Conventionally, in this aerosol product, when the aerosol product itself is heavy or when spraying for a long time, a cap forming a spout is fitted and fixed to the top of the aerosol can, and a cap for the aerosol is fitted and fixed to the top of the aerosol can. Some were provided with an operating lever for pressing the head of the button, and a handle part for supporting the product was fixed to the cap body so as to protrude from the cap body.

``Problem to be solved by the invention'' However, since the handle part for supporting the aerosol product is formed in a state that protrudes from the outside of the cap body, it becomes bulky and the box becomes bulky when the product is packaged for shipping. There was a problem that transportation efficiency deteriorated due to the large size.

Similarly, when displaying products at a retail store, there are problems such as taking up space and limiting the number of products displayed.

If a can containing an aerosol product is shipped with the above cap attached,
If a stopper or the like was not installed to prevent the operating lever from being pressed, there was a possibility that an accident such as the contents being accidentally sprayed could occur.

This idea was made in view of the above circumstances,
The purpose is to provide a cap for an aerosol product that does not become bulky or cause the contents to squirt out during product shipment, and does not take up much space when displayed.

"Means for Solving the Problems" The cap for aerosol products according to the present invention has an opening for spouting out the contents, and has an opening in the vicinity of the seam on the top of the aerosol can or an opening in the top member of the aerosol can. A cap for aerosol products that is fitted and fixed near the outer periphery of the mountain cup of an aerosol valve fixed to the aerosol can. An operating lever for pressing the button is rotatably supported in a state protruding from inside the cap body to the outside, and is mounted inside the cap body above the mounting position of the operating lever in the radial direction of the cap body. The present invention is characterized in that an extending guide means is provided, and the guide means is movably provided with a substantially L-shaped handle portion in which a holding hole for holding the rear end portion of the operating lever is formed.

"Function" According to the cap for aerosol products according to the present invention, the handle part can be inserted and approached into the cap body along the guide means when packing in a box for shipping or displaying at a retail store, etc., thereby making it more compact. It does not add bulk or take up space.

In this case, the externally protruding portion of the cap body is held in the holding hole of the handle portion so that the operating lever does not rotate, thereby preventing the contents from spilling out during transportation or the like.

``Example'' An example of the cap for aerosol products according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

The cap for an aerosol product in this embodiment includes a cap body 1 formed in a substantially truncated conical shape.
is fitted into the outer circumference 3a of the mountain cup 3 of the aerosol valve fixed to the upper opening of the aerosol can 2.

The cap body 1 has a stem 2 of an aerosol valve inserted into the aerosol can 2.
An operating lever 5 for pressing an aerosol button 4 mounted on the cap body 1 is rotatably supported in a state protruding from the inside of the cap body 1 to the outside.

Further, the operating lever 5 on the cap body 1
A guide member 7 is attached above and inside the attachment point of the cap body 1, and extends in the radial direction substantially parallel to the upper plate 1a of the cap body 1.

A substantially L-shaped handle portion 6 in which a holding hole 6a for holding the rear end portion of the operating lever 5 is formed is provided on the guide member 7 so as to be freely movable.

To explain the details of each of the above parts in more detail, the cap body 1 has an opening 8 formed in the front part for spouting the contents, and an inner cylindrical part 9 facing the opening 8 inside. A mountain cup 3 is formed at the bottom of the inner cylindrical portion 9.
A protrusion 9a is formed that slightly protrudes toward the inner circumference so as to fit into the outer circumference 3a. The bottom 1c of the outer periphery of the cap body 1 is
It is configured to cover the outer periphery of the seamed portion 2b of the aerosol can 2.

Further, above the opening 8 in the cap body 1, the guide member 7 is attached substantially parallel to the upper plate 1a with a guide gap A interposed therebetween.

The guide member 7 has a spatula shape, and one end thereof is fixed to the inner circumference of the front end of the cap body 1, and the rear end thereof faces a handle insertion hole formed in the rear part of the cap body 1.

The handle portion 6 is formed into a hollow L-shape, and its front end is guided by the guide member 7 so that it can freely enter and exit the cap body 1.

Further, the handle portion 6 is formed with a holding hole 6a into which the rear end of the operating lever 5 enters when the cap body 1 is inserted and approached.
The lever 5 is configured to be held in a pressed state, that is, in a state in which the rear end of the operating lever 5 is lowered and the front end is raised.

The operating lever 5 is located directly below the handle portion 6.
is pivoted. In other words, this operating lever 5 is
A front rod portion 5b that extends inside the cap body 1 and has a protrusion 5a formed at the lower end thereof for pressing the button 2a, and a front rod portion 5b that extends to the outside side of the cap body 1 and is used to place a finger on the tip end thereof. A rear rod portion 5d is formed with an operating portion 5c, and a rotation shaft is pivotally supported in the inner cylindrical portion 9 of the cap body 1 by a pin 10.

In this embodiment, a stopper 11 for stopping the handle part 6 in the pulled out state is formed at the upper part of the operating lever 5, and as shown in FIG. ，
6b are formed through the guide member 7 and the handle portion 6, respectively.

In a cap for an aerosol product having such a configuration, when in use, the cap body 1 is placed over the aerosol product, and the bottom of the inner cylindrical portion 9 is fitted into the outer peripheral portion 3a of the mountain cup 3 located at the top of the aerosol can 2. By doing so, the cap body 1
is fixed to the top of the aerosol product.

Then, the handle portion 6 is pulled out from the cap body 1 and stopped at the stopper 11. By holding this handle part 6 with your hand and lifting it, you can lift the entire aerosol product.
In this state, when the opening 8 is directed toward the object to be radiated and the operating portion 5c of the operating lever 5 is operated to pull up, the operating lever 5 rotates around the pin 10, and the protrusion 5a of the front rod portion 5b is rotated. By pressing the head of the aerosol button 4, the contents to be injected from the spout B of the aerosol button 4 can be ejected from the opening 8.

On the other hand, when packing in a box for shipping or displaying at a store, etc., the handle part 6 is pushed into the cap main body 1 side along the guide member 7.
The upper part of the handle part 6 is housed, and the vertical part can be brought close to the cap along the outer periphery.

In this case, the operating portion 5c of the operating lever 5 is held in the holding hole 6a of the handle portion 6. By this,
Even if you try to pull up the operating lever 5 by mistake, it is held in the holding hole 6a, so it will not rotate, and even if it is attached to an aerosol product, it will prevent the contents from being squirted out. can.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the cap body 1
