Definitions
- a cap and an aerosol can A cap and an aerosol can.
- the can has a sidewall that terminates adjacent its upper edge in an upwardly facing groove.
- a can breast extends upwardly from the groove and terminates in a mounting cup having a downwardly facing shoulder.
- the cap has an outer wall, an inner wall and an ir1- termediate wall, all concentric with each other.
- the intermediate wall and inner wall are fixed together but weakened so that they can be severed and separated to allow half of the cap to beremoved from the can.
- the inner wall has a bead or rim around its inner periphery. The head snaps under the mounting cup on the can and holds the inner wall fixed to the mounting cup when the intermediate and outer walls are 9 Claims,3D1-awing Figs. 1

- OBJECTS OF rns'mvenrlon It is an object of the invention .to' provide a tamper proof cap. '2 r Another object of the invention is to provide a tamperproof cap that is simple in construction, economical to manufacture, and simple and efficient to use. a i t Another object of the invention is to provide an improved tamperproof cap and aerosol can combination.
- the present invention consists of the combinationarid arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and more particularly pointed out in the ap pended claims, it being understood thatchang'es may be made in the form, size,proportions and minor details of construc-.
- FIG. 1 is a top view of the cap and can combination with the top disc removed. I r
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of' the cap in place on the aerosol can.
- the inner wall 17 is closed at its upper end by the end member 29.
- the end member 29 has an opening 30 in it with the hollow boss 31 extending downward from the opening and receiving the valve 32 of the aerosol can.
- the valve 32 has akeyway on it that receives the key member 33 on the boss so that the cap will always be aligned with the valve.
- a groove 34 is formed in the end member 29 and extends outward laterally through the inner wall 17.
- FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the cap and can shown at extending through opening 20, is depressed by the finger of an operator, a spray will be directed through the groove 34.
- the material connecting the intermediate wall and the inner wall is weakened at 35 by forming an annular thin section around the open end of said inner wall so that the outer wall and intermediate wall may be severed from the inner wall, thus, the inner wall and boss will be fixed in place by the bead l9 and the can will be tamperproof since by virtue of the fact that the inner wall will be fractured and thus the outer wall and intermediate wall may be removed while said inner wall will remain on said can.
- the cap is so designed that the outer wall 12 of each cap will receive the upper part ofeach other cap so that the caps can be stacked for shipment and storage.
- said can having a generally cylindrical attached to said sidewall; a mounting cup attached to the upper end of said breast; said mounting cup having an annular rim with a downwardly facing annular portion;
- said bead underlying a part of said mounting cup, said bead on said inner wall having a minor diameter less than the major diameter of said mounting cup whereby said bead on said inner wall can snap under said rim on said mounting cup and be disposed thereunder but said inner wall bead cannot be readily 'snappedQout from under said rim on said mounting cup;
- said upper end wall being contoured in a nonsymmetrical shape providing a laterally extending channel in said upper end from said opening through said inner wall whereby a spray from said valve can be projected through said channel whereby said cap is oriented to a particular position.
- intermediate wall being stepped downwardly and inwardly adjacent its upper end defining an annular shoulder
- a cap on an aerosol can comprising acuplike generally cylindrical outer wall terminating in arm defining an opening:
- said intermediate wall and said inner wall terminating above the lower open end of said outer wall rim; a rim integrally attached to said inner wall at its lower end; said rim being adapted to underlie a part of a rim on a mounting cup of an aerosol can;
- said end member having an opening in. its, center and a channel formed in said end member'andextending from said opening through the side of said inner wall whereby when said cap is disposed on an aerosol can with the valve of said aerosol can extending through saidopening, a spray sidewall and a breast from said valve may be directed through said channel when said outer wall and said intermediate wall are removed from said inner wall.
- a hollow boss is integrally attached to said upper end member and extends downwardly therefrom is adapted to receive said valve of said aerosol can, said hollow in said boss being noncircular and said valvebeing complementary in shape whereby said cap is oriented on said valve.
