Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for dispensing a fluid from an aerosol or pump-type spray container disposed within a hand-held housing, and more particularly, to devices and methods that utilize substantially transverse forces exerted on the hand-held housing and the aerosol container or pump-type sprayer to dispense fluid therefrom.
  • aerosol and pump-type spray containers are actuated by depressing a valve stem or button thereon by a finger of a user while the user holds the container.
  • the user must therefore exert substantially transverse forces against a body of the container by his hand to hold the container upright while also extending a finger to depress the valve stem or button in a longitudinal direction with respect to the container.
  • the holding of the container in combination with the depression of the valve stem may be awkward and/or difficult for people with smaller hands, the elderly, or people with difficulty holding objects.
  • the present apparatus provides a housing for disposing the aerosol or pump-type spray container in, which allows the user to dispense fluid from the container by only exerting substantially transverse forces against the housing and the container.
  • a hand-held spray device includes a housing adapted to receive an aerosol container in an interior thereof.
  • An orifice is disposed in a top side of the housing.
  • a leaf spring is disposed in the interior of the housing adjacent a bottom side thereof. The leaf spring is adapted to contact a bottom end of the container.
  • a depressible portion is disposed within a recess of the housing between the top and bottom sides thereof. The depressible portion is connected to the housing by a living hinge and adapted to move between a non-actuated position and an actuated position by imparting forces substantially transverse to a longitudinal axis of the container to the depressible portion.
  • Movement of the depressible portion from the non-actuated position to the actuated position causes the leaf spring to be depressed, the container to be lifted upwardly about its longitudinal axis, and a valve stem of the container to be depressed, thereby emitting a fluid through the orifice of the housing.
  • a hand-held spray device in a different embodiment of the present invention, includes a housing adapted to receive a fluid dispensing container in an interior thereof.
  • the container has a longitudinal axis and an actuating member.
  • An orifice is disposed in a top end of the housing.
  • An annular skirt circumscribes a body of the container.
  • a bottom portion of the skirt is adapted to be releasably locked to a bottom end of the housing, an upper portion of the skirt is in contact with at least one of a top end and a collar of the container, and a fold is disposed within the skirt between the bottom portion and the upper portion of the skirt.
  • a hand-held spray device in another embodiment, includes a housing adapted to receive a fluid dispensing container in an interior thereof.
  • the container has a longitudinal axis and an actuating member.
  • a flexing portion circumscribes a central portion of the housing and an orifice is provided in a top end of the housing.
  • a plurality of spaced fingers is provided adjacent an open bottom end of the housing, wherein portions of the fingers are in contact with a bottom end of the container.
  • a hand-held spray device in yet another embodiment, includes a housing adapted to receive an aerosol container in an interior thereof.
  • An orifice is disposed in a top side of the housing.
  • a mechanical drive mechanism is disposed in the interior of the housing adjacent a bottom side thereof.
  • the drive mechanism includes a rotatable element.
  • a depressible portion is disposed within a recess of the housing between the top and bottom sides thereof. The depressible portion is connected to the housing by a living hinge and adapted to move between a non-actuated position and an actuated position by imparting forces substantially transverse to a longitudinal axis of the container to the depressible portion.
  • Movement of the depressible portion from the non-actuated position to the actuated position causes the drive mechanism to contact a bottom end of the container, the container to be lifted upwardly about its longitudinal axis, and a valve stem of the container to be depressed, thereby emitting a fluid through the orifice of the housing.

Further, the first and second ends 112, 114 may be reversed so that the first end 112 includes a rotatable portion and the second end 114 is unattached. Still further, both ends 112, 114 may be attached to opposing inner surfaces 38 of the housing 12 or be unattached and kept in tension therebetween, insofar as the leaf spring 108 still maintains its resilient characteristics.

  • the leaf spring 108 crosses the generally ellipsoidal housing 12 in the shortest manner between two opposing surfaces of the housing 12, thereby assuring adequate and improved stability of the leaf spring 108 and/or the container 84.
  • the container 84 is inserted within the housing 12 so that the bottom end 92 of the container 84 is juxtaposed with the apex 110 of the leaf spring 108.
  • Substantially transverse forces exerted on the portion 48 cause same to be rotated and depressed inwardly toward the container 84.
  • Compression of the portion 48 by, for example, a user's hand causes the lower side 56 of the portion 48 to contact the first end 114 of the leaf spring 110. More particularly, compression of the portion 48 causes the engagement member 90 to contact the first end 114 of the leaf spring 108. Further compressive force causes the portion 48 to be depressed farther inwardly into the housing 12, thereby forcing the engagement member 90 disposed thereon to compress and bend the leaf spring 108.
  • the radius of curvature of same is reduced and the apex 110 thereof extends upwardly toward the top side 20 of the housing 12.
  • Upward movement of the apex 110 causes the container 84 to be lifted upwardly in a longitudinal direction within the ribs 76-82.
  • the greater the compressive force exerted on the portion 48 the greater the upper longitudinal movement of the container 84.
  • Moving the container 84 a predetermined longitudinal distance within the housing 12 causes the lower portion 104 of the button 100 to contact an area of the top side 20 of the housing 12 that defines the inner portion 35a of the orifice 34.
  • valve stem 94 Further upward movement causes the valve stem 94 to be depressed and the fluid disposed therein to be emitted through the bores 98 and 106 of the valve stem 94 and the button 100, respectively, and through the orifice 34. Removal of the transverse compressive forces on the portion 48 causes the leaf spring 108 to return to a non-actuated position and the container 84 to move downwardly in a longitudinal direction to its respective non-actuated position.
  • the lower portion 104 of the button 100 of the valve stem 94 may be in contact with the area of the top side 20 that defines the inner portion 35a of the orifice 34 in its pre-actuated position.
  • the valve stem 94 may be partially depressed in its pre-actuated position.
  • the orifice 34 and/or the button 100 have a constant diameter.
  • the button 100 is removed from the valve stem 94.
  • FIG. 10 depicts a different embodiment of a device 10a similar to device 10 except for the inclusion of a hinge 150 adjacent the top side 20 of the housing 12 and the removal of the portion 48 and the resilient living hinge 50.
  • the hinge 150 includes two rounded protrusions 152 that extend from the first shell 58. Both rounded protrusions 152 include holes 154 disposed therein.
  • the hinge 150 also includes two cylindrical bars 156 that extend outwardly from the second shell 60. The bars 156 are disposed within the holes 154.
  • the first shell 58 may be rotated upwardly about the hinge 150 to open an interior of the housing 12 for replacing the container 84, which may be similar to the container 84 depicted in FIG. 8.
  • first shell 58 may be rotated downwardly and inwardly toward the interior of the housing 12 by a substantially transverse force from a user's hand. Such inward movement causes the inner surface 38 of the first shell 58 adjacent the bottom side 18 thereof to compress the leaf spring 108 and actuate the container 84 in a similar manner as discussed above and depicted in FIGS. 1-9.
  • the first shell 58 may be enlarged to allow the second shell 60 to fit therein when compressive forces are exerted by a user to move the first shell 58 toward the second shell 60.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de pulvérisation portable comprenant un corps conçu pour recevoir en son sein un générateur d’aérosol. Un orifice est disposé dans une face supérieure du corps. Un ressort à lame est placé à l’intérieur du corps de manière adjacente à une face inférieure du corps. Le ressort à lame est conçu pour entrer en contact avec une extrémité inférieure du générateur. Une partie compressible est disposée dans un logement du corps entre ses faces supérieure et inférieure. La partie compressible est reliée au corps par une charnière mobile et conçue pour se déplacer entre une position non commandée et une position commandée par application de forces, sensiblement transversales à un axe longitudinal du générateur, à cette partie. Le mouvement de la partie compressible de la position non commandée à celle commandée provoque une pression sur le ressort à lame, un levage du générateur autour de son axe longitudinal, et une pression sur une tige de soupape du générateur, ce qui amène la distribution d’un fluide par l’orifice du corps.
