Description

The present invention relates to a deodorant spray for injecting a deodorant composition filled in an aerosol container, and a method of using the deodorant spray.

In general, those to which a deodorant composition is applied are widely used in order to care for the sweat odor of the axilla of the human body.

Examples of the means for applying this deodorant composition include a roll-on type, a lotion type, a gel type, a cream type, and a spray type. Among them, the spray type (see, for example, Patent Documents 1-3) is hygienic and sticky. It is preferably used because it is less.

For example, in the spray type shown in Patent Document 1, a valve is installed at the opening of a bottomed cylindrical aerosol container containing a deodorant composition and a propellant (compressed gas, liquefied gas, etc.), and a valve is installed on the stem of the valve. By attaching an injection button and pressing the injection button, the deodorant composition is injected from the injection port of the injection button in a direction orthogonal to the central axis direction of the aerosol container.

For example, in the spray type shown in Patent Document 2, a valve is installed at the opening of a bottomed cylindrical aerosol container containing a deodorant composition and a propellant (compressed gas, liquefied gas, etc.), and a valve is installed on the stem of the valve. A nozzle having a substantially conical shape is attached, and by pushing down the nozzle diagonally, the deodorant composition is sprayed diagonally outward from the tip thereof with respect to the central axis of the aerosol container.

For example, in the spray type shown in Patent Document 3, a valve is attached to the opening of a bottomed cylindrical aerosol container containing a deodorant composition and a propellant (compressed gas, liquefied gas, etc.), and the aerosol container is provided with a valve. A tubular guide member is attached so as to cover the whole, a spout is provided in the center of the ceiling wall portion of the guide member, and the aerosol container is pressed and displaced against the guide member to displace the stem of the valve. The deodorant composition ejected from the aerosol container is sprayed from the ejection port in a direction parallel to the central axis direction of the aerosol container.

In Patent Document 1, when the deodorant composition is sprayed on the axilla of the human body, when the arm is lowered and the axilla is used in a slightly open state, it is necessary to use the aerosol container in a sideways posture, which is difficult to use. Not only that, there is a drawback that the deodorant composition in the aerosol container is less likely to be ejected by the sideways posture. On the other hand, when using the aerosol container in an upright position, it is necessary to lift the arm above the shoulder and open the armpit wide, which may make it embarrassing to use in public.

In Patent Document 2, it is necessary to perform a pressing operation so as to tilt the nozzle itself for injecting the deodorant composition, and since the nozzle is tilted, it is difficult for the user to grasp the injection destination of the deodorant composition, for example. When spraying the deodorant composition on the axilla of the human body, there is a concern that it is difficult to spray the deodorant composition on the target position of the axilla.

In Patent Document 3, when the deodorant composition is sprayed, it is necessary to press the bottom of the aerosol container with one hand while supporting the guide container with one hand, so that the posture becomes unreasonable at the time of spraying. , There is a concern that this operation is difficult.

In view of such circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a deodorant spray and a method of using the deodorant spray, which can be easily sprayed on the axilla of the human body without taking an unreasonable posture.

The present invention is a deodorant spray for injecting a deodorant composition filled in an aerosol container, wherein the aerosol container is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape and has an outer diameter of φ20 mm to φ45 mm and a total length. It is set to 45 mm to 150 mm, and a valve is mounted in the opening thereof. The valve is composed of at least a housing, a stem, and a mounting cup, and an actuator is mounted on the stem of the valve. This actuator has a nozzle for injecting the deodorant composition in the aerosol container outward along the central axis of the aerosol container, and the nozzle and the stem of the aerosol container by receiving a finger pull operation. The nozzle body includes a container-type operating lever for displacement to the bottom side, and the nozzle has a nozzle body having an insertion hole that covers the stem of the valve and communicates with the internal flow path of the stem, and the nozzle body. It has an inner hole that protrudes upward from the central portion of the circular ceiling portion of the above and communicates with the insertion hole, and has a nozzle at the tip in the protruding direction for injecting the deodorant composition from the inner hole to the outside. The operation lever is provided with a protruding pipe and a center post for forming an annular gap between the protruding pipe and the inner hole so as to communicate the insertion hole and the injection port by being inserted into the inner hole of the protruding pipe. includes a cylindrical case for covering the opening side of the aerosol container, is disposed so as to cover the outer opening of the cylindrical case, and a finger hooking manipulation ing from plate-shaped member having a hole through which the projecting tube is inserted The finger hook operating portion is supported so as to be tiltable toward the bottom side along the central axis of the aerosol container with one portion in the circumferential direction of the outer opening of the cylindrical case as a fulcrum. On the inner surface of the operation unit, pressing portions for applying pressing force for pushing down the stem are provided on both sides of the protruding tube in the circular ceiling portion of the nozzle body when the finger hook operation portion is tilted. By opening the valve in response to the finger pulling operation, the deodorant composition filled in the aerosol container is ejected outward along the central axis of the aerosol container.

In this configuration, when the user displaces the finger hook operation portion of the actuator with a finger, the deodorant composition in the aerosol container is ejected outward along the central axis of the aerosol container. Moreover, in the above configuration, the deodorant composition in the aerosol container is injected outward from the injection port through the gap between the inner hole of the protruding pipe and the center post, so that the deodorant composition to be injected is injected. Is sprayed in the form of a fine mist, so that it can be applied thinly and evenly to the human body, and the deodorant composition applied to the skin of the human body is less likely to drip.

Then, when the outer diameter dimension and the total length dimension of the aerosol container are specified, the user wraps four fingers other than the thumb of one hand or three fingers other than the thumb and little finger around the outer peripheral surface of the aerosol container. Then, it becomes relatively easy to hook the thumb of the one hand on the finger hook operation portion so as to be along the central axis of the aerosol container.

Further, for example, the valve of the aerosol container is turned upward, and the user holds the aerosol container with the hand of one arm and bends it so as to cross the lower part of the elbow with respect to the torso as described above. The deodorant spray can be used to spray the deodorant composition ejected from the valve onto the armpit by keeping the underarm open with the other arm down and inserting the upward valve under the armpit. It will be relatively easy to do.

In this way, the movement of one hand and arm of the user when holding the aerosol container becomes a natural movement without being forced, so that the handling of the aerosol container and the spraying action of the deodorant composition are relatively easy. You will be able to do it. In addition, since it is excellent in portability, it becomes possible to easily take care of axillary sweat odor and the like on the go.

It is preferable that the valve is a metering valve that discharges a certain amount of the deodorant composition in the aerosol container by one operation.

In this configuration, when the operation of displace the finger hook operation portion is performed once, the deodorant composition in the aerosol container is discharged by a certain amount from the valve, so that the injection amount of the deodorant composition can be easily adjusted. Therefore, not only can the effective amount be efficiently sprayed onto the axilla, but it is also advantageous in saving the consumption of the deodorant composition.

It is preferable that the outer surface of the finger hook operation portion made of the plate-shaped member is inclined so that the side facing the fulcrum side 180 degrees away from the outer opening of the cylindrical case.

In this configuration, it is easy to hook the thumb on the inclined outer surface of the finger hook operation portion to the side facing 180 degrees from the fulcrum side, and it is easy to displace the finger hook operation portion.

As a result, even when the grip strength of the user is relatively weak, the injection operation of the deodorant composition can be performed relatively easily.

The deodorant spray according to the present invention is preferably used for the axilla.

The use of deodorant spray of the present invention, 3 other than the four-finger or thumb and little finger of the other one arm of thumb the aerosol container used for's posture injected destination upwards of the deodorant composition While holding it with your fingers and bending it so that it crosses from the elbow to the bottom of the body,
With the other arm of the user lowered, the armpit is opened, and the injection destination of the upward deodorant composition is inserted under the armpit, and the thumb of the one arm is used to hook the actuator. It is characterized in that the valve is opened and the deodorant composition in the aerosol container is injected into the armpit by oscillating the operation unit downward.

In such a method of using the deodorant spray, the other arm of the user is opened lightly while being lowered without being lifted above the shoulder, so that the user naturally does not move both arms and hands. The aerosol container can be grasped so as to be wrapped with the four fingers or the three fingers of the other hand, and the injection destination of the deodorant composition is directed to the other arm of the user. It becomes easier to turn to.

For this reason, compared to the conventional example in which the user lifts one of the arms above the shoulder and uses the deodorant spray, the act of using the deodorant spray can be performed more easily and the person is less likely to be embarrassed. It is easy to use without worrying about the eyes.

The present invention makes it possible to provide a deodorant spray and a method of using a deodorant spray that can be easily sprayed on the axilla of a human body without taking an unreasonable posture.

The aerosol container 2 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape, and has a structure in which a valve, preferably a metering valve 21, is attached to the opening thereof, and a deodorant composition and a propellant (compressed gas, liquefied gas, etc.) are housed therein. ing.

When the metering valve 21 is opened once, a certain amount of the deodorant composition in the aerosol container 2 is discharged.

Since this metering valve 21 has a known configuration, detailed description thereof will be omitted, but as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, a mountain cup 21a, a housing 21b, a shield sleeve 21c, a stem 21d, and a coil as an urging member are used. It includes a spring 21e, a tube 21f, a stem seal 21g, and a gasket 21h.

The metering valve 21 is attached to the aerosol container 2 by fitting the mountain cup 21a to the opening side of the aerosol container 2.

In the natural state in which the stem 21d is not pushed down, the stem 21d is placed upward by the elastic restoring force (elastic extension force) of the coil spring 21e in the compressed state, so that the valve is closed.

When the stem 21d is pushed down against the elastic stretching force of the coil spring 21e, the metering chamber 21i in the housing 21b and the internal flow path (diametrical hole 21j and axial hole 21k) of the stem 21d communicate with each other. Then, due to the pressure of the propellant in the metering chamber 21i, the deodorant composition is injected outward through the internal flow path (diametrical hole 21j and axial hole 21k) of the stem 21d, resulting in a valve opening state. The tip opening of the tube 21f is arranged near the bottom surface of the aerosol container 2.

Then, when the pushing down of the stem 21d is released, the deodorant composition and the propellant in the aerosol container 2 are filled in the quantification chamber 21i by the elastic stretching force of the coil spring 21e and the pressure of the propellant in the aerosol container 2. Will be done.

The actuator 3 includes a nozzle 31 and an operating lever 32.

The nozzle 31 injects the deodorant composition in the aerosol container 2 outward along the central axis 100 of the aerosol container 2, and is attached to the stem 21d of the metering valve 21.

The center of curvature of the large-diameter semicircular portion on the outer end side in the longitudinal direction is biased toward the outer peripheral surface of the circular ceiling portion 31c.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the protruding pipe 31b is integrally formed above the large-diameter semicircular portion of the bulging portion 31d. The center 300 of the protruding pipe 31b is arranged with a predetermined dimension L biased with respect to the center of the circular ceiling portion 31c, that is, the center 200 of the nozzle body 31a. When the offset is made in this way, it is possible to secure as much finger hooking allowance as possible for the following finger hooking operation unit 32b.

An insertion hole 31f into which the stem 21d of the metering valve 21 is inserted is provided in the region straddling the circular ceiling portion 31c and the bulging portion 31d. The insertion hole 31f communicates with the inner hole 31g of the protruding pipe 31b.

A center post 33 is arranged inside the inner hole 31g of the protruding pipe 31b, and a nozzle member 34 is arranged in the upper end opening of the protruding pipe 31b. The internal flow path (diameter hole 21j and axial hole 21k) of the stem 21d passes through an annular gap between the insertion hole 31f of the nozzle body 31a and the protruding pipe 31b and the center post 33, and is the injection port of the injection port member 34. It is designed to communicate with.

The operating lever 32 pushes down the nozzle 31 and the stem 21d toward the bottom side of the aerosol container 2 by receiving a finger pulling operation, and includes a cylindrical case 32a and a finger hook operating portion 32b.

The cylindrical case 32a has a small-diameter tubular portion 32c formed in the upper half and a large-diameter tubular portion 32d formed in the lower half, and the large-diameter tubular portion 32d covers the opening side on the outer peripheral surface of the aerosol container 2. .. The cap 4 is slidably fitted to the outer peripheral surface of the small-diameter tubular portion 32c, and the hanging tubular portion 31e of the nozzle body 31a is slidably fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the small-diameter tubular portion 32c.

The finger hook operation portion 32b is made of a plate-shaped member, and is provided with a hole 32e having a substantially elliptical shape in a plan view through which the protruding pipe 31b is inserted. The finger hook operation portion 32b is arranged so as to cover the outer opening (small diameter side opening) of the cylindrical case 32a, and is connected to the outer opening of the cylindrical case 32a at one location in the circumferential direction. It is supported so as to be tiltable toward the bottom side along the central axis 100 of the aerosol container 2 with (referred to as the integral hinge portion 32f) as a fulcrum.

The inner surface (lower surface) of the finger hook operation portion 32b is provided with a pressing portion 32g that applies a pressing force for pushing down the stem 21d to the nozzle body 31a when the finger hook operating portion 32b is tilted. As shown in FIG. 4, one pressing portion 32g is provided on each side of the hole 32e in the finger hook operating portion 32b made of a plate-shaped member.

Further, the outer surface (upper surface) of the finger hook operation portion 32b made of the plate-shaped member is 180 degrees opposite to the integral hinge portion 32f side (referred to as the free end side) from the outer opening of the cylindrical case 32a of the operation lever 32. It is tilted diagonally upward so as to separate.

By the way, the deodorant composition filled in the aerosol container 2 is not particularly limited as long as it is a composition that sufficiently exerts the deodorant effect, and for example, an antiperspirant component, a bactericidal component, a cooling sensation component, and the like are blended. The composition is mentioned.

Specific antiperspirant components include, for example, aluminum chloride, aluminum potassium sulfate, aluminum sulfate, aluminum acetate, chlorohydroxyaluminum, allantoinchlorohydroxyaluminum, aluminum phenolsulfonate, acrylic resin-coated aluminum powder, allantoindihydroxyaluminum, aluminum powder. , Aluminum isostearate, corn starch aluminum octenyl succinate, aluminum sulphate containing aluminum sulphate, magnesium aluminum silicate, aluminum oxide, aluminum dimyristate, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum stearate, aluminum silicate, aluminum myristate, aluminum sulphate, Aluminum compounds such as disetyl aluminum phosphate; zinc paraphenol sulfonate, zinc sulfate, zinc oxide, zinc chloride, zinc carbonate, zinc gluconate, zinc stearate, zinc undecylate, zinc palmitate, zinc pyrithione, zinc myristate , Zinc compounds such as zinc laurate; zirconium compounds such as chlorohydroxyzirconium and zirconium oxide can be mentioned.

Specific bactericidal components include, for example, phenol derivatives such as isopropylmethylphenol, chlorhexidine gluconate, triclosan, trichlorocarbanilide, halocarban, phenoxyethanol, salicylic acid, sodium salicylate, methyl salicylate, glycol salicylate, and acetylsalicylic acid; benzalkonium chloride. Quaternary ammonium salts such as luconium, benzethonium chloride, cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, cetylpyridinium chloride; photosensitizers such as photosensitizer 101, photosensitizer 201, photosensitizer 401; sorbic acid, potassium sorbate, alkyldiamino chloride Examples thereof include ethylglycine solution, tea extract, and hinokithiol.

Specific examples of the cooling sensation component include l-menthol, menthylglyceryl ether, menthyl lactate, 1-mentyl-3-hydroxybutyrate, dl-campa, eugenol, menthone, mint, menthyl salicylate, and eucalyptus oil. Be done.

Further, a known component can be blended in the deodorant composition. For example, silicone oil, fatty acid ester oil, insoluble powder, various plant extracts, fragrances, ethanol, purified water and the like can be appropriately blended according to the purpose.

On the other hand, the propellant for injecting the deodorant composition is not particularly limited, but is liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), dimethyl ether (DME), liquefied gas such as isopentan, nitrogen gas, nitrogen oxide gas, carbon dioxide gas. , Compressed gas such as compressed air and the like.

When the deodorant composition and the propellant are contained, a part of the propellant may be dissolved in the deodorant composition and completely compatible with each other to be uniform, or the propellant may be dissolved in the deodorant composition. Instead, both may exist in a non-uniform state. Further, the blending ratio of the deodorant composition and the propellant can be appropriately set based on the jet strength.

Next, the operation when the deodorant spray 1 is used will be described.

When the user displaces the free end side of the finger hook operation unit 32b with a finger, the nozzle body 31a by the finger hook operation unit 32b is pushed down toward the bottom side of the aerosol container 2. At this time, the pushing force of the nozzle body 31a by the finger hook operation unit 32b can be relatively small due to the principle of 梃 by the finger hook operation unit 32b. That is, in the finger hook operation portion 32b, the free end side is the force point, the integral hinge portion 32f is the fulcrum point, and the pressing portion 32g is the action point. Further, since the hanging cylinder portion 31e of the nozzle body 31a is guided by the inner peripheral surface of the small diameter cylinder portion 32c of the cylindrical case 32a of the operating lever 32, the nozzle body 31a is in a straight posture along the central axis 100 of the aerosol container 2. It will be able to be displaced stably as it is.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, when the lower surface of the finger hook operation portion 32b on the free end side comes into contact with the upper surface of the circular ceiling portion 31c of the nozzle body 31a, the pushing down of the finger hook operation portion 32b is stopped. Then, the metering valve 21 is fully opened.

As a result, the stem 21d is pushed down together with the nozzle body 31a against the elastic stretching force of the coil spring 21e, so that the metering chamber 21i and the internal flow path (diameter hole 21j and axial hole 21k) of the stem 21d communicate with each other. The valve will be opened.

As a result, the deodorant composition is injected outward through the internal flow path (diameter hole 21j and axial hole 21k) of the stem 21d under the pressure of the propellant filled in the metering chamber 21i. The injection direction of this deodorant composition is such that it is parallel to the central axis 100 of the aerosol container 2.

In the deodorant spray 1 having such a characteristic structure, the outer diameter dimension of the aerosol container 2 is set to φ20 mm to φ45 mm, preferably φ20 mm to φ35 mm. The total length of the aerosol container 2 is set to 45 mm to 150 mm, preferably 45 mm to 120 mm, and more preferably 45 mm to 100 mm. Further, the volume of the aerosol container 2 is set to 5 mL to 150 mL, preferably 10 mL to 100 mL, and more preferably 10 mL to 60 mL.

When the outer diameter dimension and the total length dimension of the aerosol container 2 are specified in this way, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, the user has four fingers other than the thumb of one hand on the outer peripheral surface of the aerosol container 2. (Index finger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger) or three fingers other than the thumb and little finger (index finger, middle finger, ring finger) are wrapped around, and then the thumb of one of the hands is aligned with the central axis 100 of the aerosol container 2. In this way, the act of hooking the finger hook operation unit 32b on the free end side can be performed relatively easily.

In particular, in this embodiment, since the outer surface of the finger hook operation portion 32b made of the plate-shaped member is inclined diagonally upward, the thumb is placed on the finger hook operation portion 32b while the aerosol container 2 is held by four fingers other than the thumb. It becomes easy to hook and push down the finger hook operation unit 32b. As a result, even when the grip strength of the user is relatively weak, the injection operation of the deodorant composition can be performed relatively easily.

As described above, the movement of the user's hand when holding the aerosol container 2 becomes a natural movement without being an unreasonable movement, so that the aerosol container 2 can be handled relatively easily.

When the deodorant spray 1 is sprayed on the armpit of the human body, the nozzle 31 of the aerosol container 2 is turned upward and then inserted under the armpit on the other arm side of the human body, and the deodorant composition sprayed from the nozzle 31 is said. It becomes possible to spray toward the armpit.

Specifically, first, as shown in FIG. 10, the aerosol container 2 in a posture in which the protruding tube 31b of the nozzle 31 faces upward is placed on the aerosol container 2 with four fingers other than the thumb of one of the user's arms or three other than the thumb and little finger. While grasping with the little finger and bending so that the lower part from the elbow crosses the torso, as shown in FIG. 11, the torso is opened by separating the other arm of the user from the torso and opening the armpit. One side and the other arm are shaped in an inverted V shape in front view, and the protruding tube 31b of the nozzle 31 is inserted under the armpit on the other arm side.

After this, by pushing down the finger hook operation portion 32b with the thumb of one of the arms, the metering valve 21 is opened so that the deodorant composition in the aerosol container 2 is injected toward the axilla.

In this way, when using the deodorant spray 1, in short, the other arm of the user is kept lowered, that is, the armpit is slightly opened without being lifted above the shoulder, and the user said. The aerosol container 2 is grasped by the hand of one arm, the metering valve 21 is inserted from under the armpit on the other arm side, and the finger hook operation portion 32b is pushed down by the thumb of the other hand.

In the process of such use, the aerosol container 2 is wrapped with the four fingers or the three fingers of the other hand by the user moving both arms and hands in a natural state without forcibly moving them. It becomes possible to hold the deodorant composition in a loose manner, and it becomes easier to direct the injection destination of the deodorant composition toward the axilla on one arm side of the user.

For this reason, compared to the case where one arm is lifted above the shoulder and the deodorant spray 1 is used, the act of using the deodorant spray 1 can be performed more easily and it is less likely to be embarrassed. It becomes easy to use without making it.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be appropriately modified within the scope of claims and within the scope equivalent to the scope.

For example, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 14, the outer diameter dimension of the aerosol container 2 is, for example, φ35 mm, which is larger than that of the above embodiment.

Then, the outer diameter dimension of the large-diameter tubular portion 32d (fitting portion with respect to the aerosol container 2) in the cylindrical case 32a of the operating lever 32 of the actuator 3 is made larger than that of the above embodiment, and the ceiling portion of the cap 4 is made into a hemispherical shape. There is.

Also in this embodiment, it is possible to obtain the same actions and effects as those in the above embodiment.
