Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is to provide the new article of manufacture which consists of a cap for a container holding an aerosol solution and provided with a valve of a type already known in itself, which may be either depressed or swung.
  • My new cap is essentially characterized by the fact that it comprises in combination means for fastening the cap to the container and a cover mounted so that the valve may be swung between two extending positions for actuating the control valve by means of an elbow containing a passageway which ends in an aerosol nozzle.
  • the cover is provided with an inner wall which guides the elbow as it swings, by cooperating with suitable means inside the cap, and the nozzle is uncovered at one of the extreme positions of the cover, but closed at the other extreme position.
  • the cover uncovers the outlet of the sleeve which is usually elbow-shaped, before the cam comes into contact therewith.
  • the aerosol nozzle is guided perpendicularly to the axis of the valve by two parallel lateral walls, a front wall guides the elbow parallel to the axis of the container while it is being moved and limits its path of travel.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing my cap with the cover closed
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line II--II of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a view like that of FIG. 2, but showing the cap open and the sleeve at the end of its path of travel.
  • This cap 2 is provided with an inner vertical cylindrical wall 3 which serves as a partition and is terminated by a circular rim 4, which is snapped over the collar 5 of the container 1, thus holding the outer wall 6 of the cap against the upper frusto-conical part 7 of the container 1.
  • An elbow 8 comprising a main portion and a perpendicular extension is formed with an inner passageway on the drawing and terminated at one end by a conventional device for actuating the valve of the container and at the other end by a nozzle 9.
  • a cover 10 provided with a depression 11 for receiving a finger is pivotally mounted on a pin 12 seated in the cap 2.
  • the inner surface of the cover 10 carries beneath the depression 11a protuberance 13 which is camshaped in section and cooperates with the rounded surface of the elbow 8.
  • the cover 10 is swung by pressing a finger against the depression 11 in the direction indicated by the arrow F of FIG. 3.
  • the front part of the elbow 8 carrying the nozzle 9 is uncovered well before the cap reaches the position shown in broken lines on FIG. 3, at which time the cam comes into contact with the elbow 8.
  • the sleeve is urged forward, but since it abuts the wall 14, it can only move downward, with the profile of the cam 13 sliding on the cooperating rounded part of the elbow 8.
  • the vertical movement of the sleeve is guided by two lateral walls inside the cap, not shown on the drawings, between which the horizontal part of the sleeve is retained against turning.
  • the elbow descends as far as the horizontal wall 15, to a position which permits the emission of a jet of aerosol.
  • the part of the sleeve carrying the nozzle 9 is adequately retained perpendicularly to the axis of the valve by the lateral walls provided for this purpose within the cap.
  • a cap for a container of the type containing an aerosol solution and provided with a movable outlet valve said cap comprising means for fastening it to said container, a sleeve defining an elbow pierced by an inner passageway and terminating at one end in a spray nozzle, said sleeve being mounted on said cap for movement between a first position in which the end of said sleeve remote from said nozzle opens said outlet valve and a second position in which it permits said outlet valve to close, and a cover mounted on said cap for movement between a first position in which it covers the nozzles end of said passageway and a second position in which it urges said sleeve into its valve opening position, and uncovers said nozzle end of said passageway, said sleeve having a longitudinally curved cam surface on the outside of the bend in said elbow, and said cover being provided with inwardly projecting means which exerts pressure against said cam surface as said cover is swung toward its second position, thereby urging said sle
