Definitions

  • the invention relates to an actuating head for an aerosol dispenser under internal pressure, with a largely cylindrical hood.
  • a wide variety of products are dispensed by means of aerosol dispensers under internal pressure.
  • the delivery of some products is carried out by means of an actuating head which opens and keeps the valve of the dispenser open so that the user can leave the aerosol dispenser and still dispense its contents into the air continues.
  • Examples of aerosol dispenser actuator heads with continuous, unmonitored dispense capability are found in U.S. Patents 3,081,918, 3,260,416, 3,137,414, 3,305,144, 3,314,577 and 3,325,064.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an actuating head of the generic type that can not be easily brought into the open state by small children with simple design and manufacturability.
  • the hood has a largely horizontal surface part with a central opening through which a valve stem of the dispenser protrudes, and an actuation button which is formed in one piece with the horizontal surface part and with its inner end by a flexible joint part with the Surface part is connected, that the actuation button near its outer end is releasably connected to the hood by a fragile web, that a first side of the button has a valve stem mounting socket for fitting on the valve stem when the button has been reversed by rotating it around the joint part, that the valve stem receptacle communicates with a dispensing opening on the other side of the button and that the first side of the button further includes a latch that cooperates with a latch on the horizontal surface portion of the hood to lock the button in the reverse position holding the container valve in the open position.
  • This design results in a continuous dispensing actuator head that combines a vertical dispensing nozzle, a means for keeping the aerosol dispensing valve open, a transport shock protection device to prevent unintentional dispensing, handling that is too difficult for toddlers and an appealing-looking closure cap in a single injection molded part.
  • the actuator head is cast in one piece from flexible plastic, for example polyolefin.
  • the lower edge 12 of a cylindrical hood 10 can be snapped onto the flanged edge of an aerosol container 40.
  • An upwardly projecting valve stem 42 of the aerosol container valve projects through an opening 14 in the flat horizontal base surface 11 or the bottom of a finger receiving groove 13, which extends transversely to the hood 10.
  • a finger-actuated button 20 extends in the position in which it was originally cast and, before use, essentially in the plane of the bottom 11.
  • the button 20 is at its inner end with a one-piece, flexible joint part 22 and provided near their outer end with fragile webs 24 which are integrally formed with the button 20 and the hood 10.
  • the webs 24 secure the position of the key 20 until use and must be broken before the key can be turned around the joint 22.
  • the key 20 is provided with a valve stem receiving socket 26, which leads to a dispensing opening 28 on the other side of the key 20
  • a pin 29 protrudes upward on the valve stem mounting side of the button 20.
  • the bottom 11 is provided with a socket 15 which can receive the pin 29 with such a high frictional force that the pin 29 is held therein.
  • the user To operate, the user must press the button 20 upwards to break the fragile webs 24.
  • the fragile webs 24 serve not only to secure the position of the button 20 until use, but also as a visible and tactile indication of unauthorized or earlier use of the container.
  • the button 20 can then be pivoted freely from the position shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 5 into the position shown in FIGS. 2, 4 and 6.
  • the valve stem mounting socket 26 engages over the valve stem 42 so that the dispensing opening 28 is connected to the valve stem channel.
  • the pin 29 frictionally engages the socket 15 when the button 20 is depressed by the user to open the dispensing valve. Due to the frictional mounting of the pin 29 in the socket 15, the button 20 is locked in the depressed position in order to keep the dispensing valve open.
  • the can contents then exit vertically through the opening 28 as a spray or mist.
  • the output continues until the user lifts the button 20 from the pin 29 and the socket 15. This type of activity is too difficult for toddlers and therefore represents security against undesired
  • the entire actuator head is molded in one piece from plastic. It is not necessary to assemble individual parts.
  • the actuator head can be easily mounted by an automatic machine or by hand on the filled, internally pressurized dispenser, an aerosol container. This creates no alignment or orientation difficulties. In terms of appearance, the actuating head currently resembles the decorative cap of many aerosol containers.
