Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an aerosol device. More specifically, the present invention relates to an aerosol device that can spray aerosol contents over a wide range.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, when trying to uniformly spray a large amount of insecticide, deodorant, disinfectant, disinfectant, etc. indoors using an aerosol container, it was necessary to hold the aerosol container by hand. The aerosol contents were sprayed while moving. However, with this method, the aerosol must be continuously sprayed by hand until the spraying operation is completed, which is cumbersome and also causes discomfort as the user inhales the sprayed mist at a high concentration. There was a problem that it was said to be dangerous or even harmful in some cases.

In order to solve this problem, an aerosol device as shown in FIG. 7 has been proposed.

The aerosol device 50 is equipped with an injection nozzle 52 at the upper end of the can body, with a spout 51 facing tangentially with respect to the axis of the can body.
When the aerosol contents are injected from the nozzle 51, the aerosol device 50 rotates due to the reaction, thereby spraying the aerosol contents over a wide range.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve] However, in the conventional aerosol device, The spray area is not very wide.

It's a hassle because you have to hang it up with a string each time.

In places where the string cannot be attached to the ceiling etc.
Either it cannot be used or a separate stand for hanging the string must be prepared, which is inconvenient as it limits the places where it can be used.

In view of these circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide an aerosol device that has a wide spray range, does not require special preparation, and can be used in any location.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In the aerosol device of the present invention, the aerosol container itself revolves on its placement surface along a substantially circular trajectory due to the reaction of the jetting operation of the aerosol contents. The aerosol container is provided with rolling means for the rolling means, and the center of revolution of the rolling means is set at a distance at least equal to the diameter of the body of the aerosol container from the axis of the aerosol container in the upright state. The configuration has been adopted.

The rolling means includes at least one rolling roller and a support means for supporting the center of revolution of the aerosol container, and is preferably provided at the bottom of the aerosol container. Further, the rolling means preferably includes three or more rolling rollers arranged along the orbit of the aerosol container on the bottom surface of the aerosol container.

In the present invention, the injection of the aerosol contents is usually carried out from an injection nozzle provided at the upper end of the aerosol container. The orifice of the injection nozzle is oriented with a tangential component to the orbit of the aerosol container, but may also be oriented somewhat outwardly or inwardly with respect to the tangential line. The spray nozzle is also mounted upwardly of the aerosol container to spray the aerosol contents upwardly.

[Function] In the present invention, when the aerosol contents are injected, the aerosol container is caused to revolve (swirl) on the mounting surface by the reaction of the injection operation, so that the aerosol contents form a cone with a certain extent. It is diffused and sprayed into the space. Moreover, since the orbital radius is greater than the diameter of the aerosol container body, it can be sprayed over a fairly wide range. Therefore, when the aerosol device of the present invention is placed indoors, for example, the aerosol contents are sprayed all over the room while spinning around on a tatami mat or the like.
