Some aerosol cans have a nozzle fixedly attached to the valve at the upper end of the can, and the nozzle extends vertically or laterally of the can body.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In the conventional aerosol device, the long nozzle gets in the way when not in use and takes up a lot of storage space;
It is difficult to protect the nozzle from physical fffl and contamination.

In view of the above circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide an aerosol device in which the nozzle protrudes from the striking body when in use, making it easy to use, and which can be stored compactly when not in use.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The aerosol device of the present invention includes a long nozzle connected to an aerosol can, and a state in which the nozzle is retracted along the striking body and a state in which it protrudes outward from the can body. It consists of a pantograph mechanism that can be moved in both directions.
