Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> The disclosed technology belongs to the field of structural technology for a cap that is removably fitted in one-touch manner to the top of an aerosol can that sprays insecticides or lubricants. .

<Summary of the gist> This invention is a cap that is removably fitted to the neck of a neck-in type aerosol can, and a cap that is fitted onto the top surface of the cap to a stem protruding from the top of the aerosol can. This invention relates to a cap structure that has an attachment hole for a button, and further has a long nozzle of a predetermined length fitted to the button and is removably latched to an engaging part formed on a side wall. In particular, this invention relates to a cap structure for an aerosol can in which a long nozzle set groove is bored in the form of a slit extending from the buttonhole on the top surface to the engaging portion on the side.

<Prior Art> As is well known, as people's lives improve, various useful supplies and supplies have become available at work and at home, and these have brought significant benefits to people's lives and activities. There is.

Therefore, among these supplies and equipment, so-called aerosol can sprays, which can easily spray aerosol type insecticides, fragrances, and antistatic agents, have come to be widely used. For example, the invention disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-21555 and the invention disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 61-132058 have been devised and put into practical use.

In the past, a button was fitted to the stem protruding from the top of the aerosol can, and when the can was pressed, the aerosol spray was sprayed in a predetermined direction. When using the aerosol can, the cap must be removed from the aerosol can, and after the work is completed, the cap must be reattached to the aerosol can, which is a complicated process that is extremely cumbersome. So-called one-touch caps, such as those seen in 2005, have been put into practical use, making it much easier to handle aerosol sprays.

However, in conventional aerosol sprays, although the aerosol is sprayed in a fixed direction, it is diffused, so although it is effective for killing insects and creating an aromatic effect inside a room, for example, When performing spot spraying on door joints or friction-generating parts of mechanical parts, the spray direction tends to spread too much. For example, there is a sprayer that can perform a
It has been developed as seen in the invention published in No. 21556.

However, in the case of a sprayer having such a long nozzle, the long nozzle from the button extends perpendicularly to the aerosol can for convenience of use. Therefore, when not in use or in a state during distribution, there is a tendency for interference with the surroundings to be too strong.
As seen in the device in Publication No. 21556, this is a type of foldable sprayer in which the long nozzle is folded and stored inside the cap when not in use or when in distribution, and is extended by the elasticity of a spring when in use.

However, in the conventional type of sprayer, when the long nozzle is stored in the cap for a long time, a folding biasing force remains in the long nozzle, and the long nozzle, which should originally be in a straight shape, becomes curved, and each The problem was that it was difficult to spray.

Therefore, for example, as seen in the invention proposed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 62-174080, the long nozzle is stored with an engaging part on the cap in such a position that it is aligned with the aerosol can during storage and distribution stages, and when used, The long nozzle is removed from the engagement part and fitted onto the stem via a button.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, in this type of sprayer, the long nozzle is designed to be detachable and attachable to the button that fits into the stem, so the button and long nozzle can be removed from the cap. The long nozzle may come off the button when the button is removed and engaged with the stem. Even if it were possible to do so, it was extremely cumbersome to fit the long nozzle onto the button, and it was particularly inconvenient for the elderly, women, and women to handle it.

<Purpose of the invention> The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problems of the button and long nozzle in the atomizer based on the above-mentioned prior art, the posture during folding and storage, and the installation. Utilizing the advantage of a neck-in can in which the cap is easy to assemble at the top of the can, and taking advantage of the lateral engagement of the button and long nozzle to the cap, it is possible to fit the button to the stem and to attach the long nozzle to the button. Provides an excellent cap structure for aerosol cans that allows for extremely smooth installation and makes full use of the functions of a sprayer with an original long nozzle, benefiting the application of atomization technology in the pressure industry. This is what I am trying to do.

<Means/effects for solving the problems> In accordance with the above-mentioned purpose, the structure of this invention, which is based on the above-mentioned claims for utility model registration, is to solve the above-mentioned problems by adding the following to the neck part of the aerosol can. A one-touch type cap is fitted, and a button for the stem and a long nozzle fitted to the button are engaged with the engaging part on the side thereof, and the can is placed in a storage position together with a vertical type aerosol can that does not interfere with other things. The button and long nozzle are integrally removed from the engaging part of the cap and the button is inserted into the stem through the button hole of the cap when in use. As a result, the long nozzle is also integrally attached to the button, faces the long nozzle set groove of the cap, and extends outward from the engaging part. When the can is removed from the can, the long nozzle can be smoothly fitted to the button of the cap through the setting groove of the cap, and the button of the cap can be pressed in one-touch to open the can. A technical measure has been taken in which the aerosol in the aerosol can is sprayed spot-wise in a desired direction from a button via a stem and a long nozzle.
