Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] This invention relates to an injection operation member for an aerosol product (hereinafter simply referred to as an operation member). The present invention relates to an operating member having a hook.
Note that the term "push button" in this specification also includes a so-called spout.

[Prior art] Generally, aerosol products are filled with liquefied gas, etc., and the pressure container is made of a cylindrical can, so when not in use, they are stored on the floor or on a shelf. It is usually left standing.

In addition, the operating member of conventional aerosol products is usually a push button fitted to the upper end of a stem protruding from the top of the aerosol container;
Some devices are also used that consist of a fastening part that is fitted around the outer periphery of the tightening part between the mounting cup of the aerosol valve and the can container, and a push button that is connected to the fastening part by a hinge.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] Recently, with the diversification of aerosol product designs, lightweight or elongated aerosol products are sometimes used. Such aerosol products have the problem of being extremely easy to fall over when placed on the floor or the like. In particular, a problem with aerosol products such as cosmetics and hair treatments used in bathrooms and sinks is that there are few places where they can be kept in a stable position. Furthermore, since aerosol products usually have containers made of metal, they are susceptible to corrosion if left on the bathroom floor.
Therefore, it is especially desirable to hang it up.

This invention has a hook near the top of the aerosol product that is equipped with a simple hook that can securely support the aerosol product, so that the aerosol product can be hung from a hook or bar installed on a wall, etc. The object of the present invention is to provide an operating member that can be attached to.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The operating member of the aerosol product of the present invention includes a fixed part that can be fixed near the upper end of the aerosol container, a push button connected to the fixed part by a hinge part, and a push button that is connected to the fixed part by a hinge part. and a hook part connected by at least one hinge part, and the hook part takes two states: one in which it is arranged so as to surround the push button, and the other in which it extends upward from the fixed part. It is configured as follows.

[Function] In the operating member of the present invention, the hook portion is connected to the fixing portion that is fixed near the top of the aerosol container. Therefore, it is much more reliable and safe than, for example, when a hook is provided directly on a pushbutton that is simply fitted to the stem, or when a hook is provided on a cap that is attached to the top of an aerosol container. can hang aerosol products.

Furthermore, when the button is on the distribution route or when using an aerosol product, if the hook is placed around the push button, it will not get in the way during storage or use.

Furthermore, since the operating member of the present invention can be integrally formed as one member, the manufacturing process is almost the same as that of a conventional pushbutton, and it can be manufactured easily.
