Description

  The present invention is an exterior for enabling various exterior products (detachable cap, one-touch cap, spout, etc.) attached to the large-diameter mounting cup of the first aerosol container to be used in the small-diameter mounting cup of the second aerosol container. Product adapter.

  For example, a metal aerosol container corresponds to the first aerosol container, and a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) aerosol container having a smaller capacity corresponds to the second aerosol container.

  It is desired to use various mounting cup exteriors used in metal aerosol containers with high versatility in, for example, PET aerosol containers to which a smaller diameter mounting cup is attached. Is a response to

  In this specification, in principle, “aerosol container” is used to indicate a container in which a mounting cup, operation buttons, and the like are attached to the aerosol container body.

  In addition, a “metal aerosol container” is used as an example of an aerosol container having a large-diameter mounting cup, and a “PET aerosol container” is used as an example of an aerosol container having a small-diameter mounting cup.

  Conventionally, apart from a highly versatile metal aerosol container to which a large-diameter mounting cup is attached, a plastic aerosol container using a small-diameter mounting cup has also been provided (Patent Document 1).

JP 2005-162231 A

  In such a PET aerosol container, the diameter of the opening on the container main body and to which the mounting cup is attached is smaller than that of the metal aerosol container.

  That is, the mounting cup of the PET aerosol container has a “small diameter”, and the mounting cup of the metal aerosol container has a “large diameter”.

  For this reason, various and various exterior products prepared for the “large diameter” mounting cup of a metal aerosol container have not been used for the mounting cup of a PET aerosol container.

  In the present invention, by attaching an adapter to the small-diameter mounting cup of such a PET aerosol container, the substantial radial width of the small-diameter mounting cup is expanded to the size of the large-diameter mounting cup of the metal aerosol container. It is.

  By adopting this adapter, the radial direction of the small-diameter mounting cup is expanded, and many cup exterior products intended for mounting of metal aerosol containers are also used for PET aerosol containers.

  Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide convenience for the user of a PET aerosol container provided with a small-diameter mounting cup and to effectively use an exterior product premised on the specification of a large-diameter mounting cup for a metal aerosol container.

The present invention solves the above problems as follows.

  Here, the housings 3 and 13, the stems 4 and 14, the operation buttons 5 and 15, the adapter 6 and the removable cap 16 are made of plastic made of polypropylene, polyethylene, polyacetal, nylon, polybutylene terephthalate, or the like. The stems 4 and 14 may be made of metal.

  The small diameter mounting cup 2 and the large diameter mounting cup 12 are made of metal.

The basic features of the PET aerosol container of FIGS.
(21) After removing the operation button 5 from the stem 4, the inner end cylindrical portion 6c and the intermediate cylindrical portion 6d of the adapter 6 are respectively connected to the upper and lower diameter cylindrical portions 2a, 2c of the small diameter mounting cup 2 and Attach and hold on the lower large diameter cylindrical part 2b,
(22) The lower end side convex portion 16a of the removable cap 16 for the metal aerosol container is engaged and held with the lower end portion (undercut) of the outer end cylindrical portion 6e of the adapter 6 in the attached holding state,
(23) By this engagement and retention action, the removable cap 16 that is originally engaged and held by the annular concave undercut 12a of the large-diameter mounting cup 12 of the metal aerosol container is made of PET to which the small-diameter mounting cup 2 is attached. Can be used in aerosol containers,
That is.

  That is, in multiple types of aerosol containers to which mounting cups with an outer diameter corresponding to the diameter of the container body opening are individually attached, an adapter is attached to the small diameter mounting cup and this is the same outer diameter size as the large diameter mounting cup I have to.

  By adopting this adapter, various mounting cup exteriors such as a detachable cap, a one-touch cap, and a spout manufactured for a large-diameter mounting cup can be used for an aerosol container of a small-diameter mounting cup.

  FIG. 1 shows a stationary mode of a PET aerosol container having a small-diameter mounting cup 2 and an operation button 5 attached to a stem 4.

  Here, when the operation button 5 attached to the stem 4 is depressed, the valve action portion (stem + stem gasket: not shown) is shifted from the closed state to the open state, and the contents of the PET aerosol container body 1 are changed. An object is injected into the external space area from the discharge hole portion 5a of the operation button. This injection operation itself is of course well known.

  2, the operation button 5 of the PET aerosol container body 1 in the stationary mode of FIG. 1 is removed from the stem 4, and the inner end cylindrical portion 6 c and the intermediate cylindrical portion 6 d of the adapter 6 are attached to the small diameter mounting cup 2. Indicates the state.

  FIG. 3 shows a state in which the adapter 6 shown in FIG. 2 is attached, and the operation button 5 is attached to the stem 4 again. The state where is attached is shown.

  FIG. 4 shows a stationary mode of a general-purpose metal aerosol container provided with a large-diameter mounting cup 12, an operation button 15 attached to the stem 14, and a detachable cap 16 attached to the large-diameter mounting cup 12.

  As described above (see FIG. 3), the detachable cap 16 attached to the large-diameter mounting cup 12 is also engaged and held by the adapter 6 (outer cylindrical portion 6e) of the PET aerosol container body 1.

  When the detachable cap 16 is removed and the operation button 15 is pressed down, the contents of the metal aerosol container body 11 are released by the known valve action as in the case of the PET aerosol container body 1 of FIG. It is injected from the hole 15a into the external space.

  Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, even when the detachable cap 16 is fitted inside the large-diameter mounting cup 12, the shape of the adapter 6 (outer cylindrical portion 6e) is changed to this shape. It is applied by making it correspond to the internal fitting.

  Moreover, as described repeatedly, the detachable cap 16 is only an example of a large-diameter mounting cup specification exterior product attached to the outer end tubular portion 6e of the adapter 6.
