Definitions

  • the invention relates to a trigger-actuated dispensing hood for a container under internal pressure with a closure having a valve.
  • Containers under internal pressure such as aerosol containers
  • Containers under internal pressure are usually provided with an actuating head or an actuating hood which delimits an output channel through which the contents of the container reach the output opening formed in the output head or the output hood.
  • the user grasps the container and then, with a finger of the hand holding the container, press down the head or part of the hood and release the contents of the container.
  • finger-operated heads or hoods have the disadvantage that they lead to finger fatigue in some users.
  • meeting the desired surface area with the dispensed product is difficult because it is relatively difficult to grasp the container while correctly placing the finger.
  • a more convenient grasping and actuation of the container is achieved by means of a trigger mechanism or a trigger.
  • the dispensing hood is characterized by a) a slotted housing which can be mounted on the circumference of the closure, b) an actuating element arranged in the slotted housing with a valve connecting part and an output part which delimit an output channel, the actuating element being sealed at one end is connectable to the closure and at its other end to a dispensing opening and the actuator has a hinge portion connecting the actuator and the housing to provide a lever; and c) a manually operable trip member attached to the output portion of the actuator and its grip area outside the housing, but within the circumference of the container is arranged, on which the delivery hood fits.
  • the hood according to the invention is compact and aesthetically pleasing. Its housing has a bottom part which fits on the valve-fitted closure part of an aerosol or pressurized container, the actuator is hinged to the housing, preferably in the vicinity of the radial plane away from the output side of the actuator, and the trigger member is on the actuator placed near and substantially perpendicular to the dispensing opening. Another feature of the hood is that it is easy to operate using a multi-lever mechanism.
  • the housing of the hood of the invention fits the flanged edge of the container formed between the opening in the container and the valve closure, the valve closure normally forming a cup-shaped mounting cap.
  • the actuator has a vertical part which is tightly connected to the discharge side of the valve in the closure and a horizontal part which ends in a discharge opening.
  • the discharge channel in the actuator communicates with the channel or passage on the discharge side of the valve to form a closed channel or passage through which the contents of the container are directed to the discharge opening.
  • the articulation of the actuating member on the housing results in a first lever with a lever arm absorbing the actuating force exerted from the joint to the point where the working pressure is exerted on the actuating member, which is longer than the working arm from the joint to is the part of the actuator that touches and depresses (opens) the valve.
  • the trigger member is attached to the horizontal part of the actuator and extends downward and substantially perpendicular to the horizontal part of the actuator.
  • the trigger member is articulated relative to the output end of the actuator behind the attachment or contact point on the housing, so that a second lever results.
  • the lever arm that absorbs the force exerted which is formed by the section from the articulation of the trigger member to the point of contact of the trigger and actuating member (where the trigger member can exert a force directed downwards onto the horizontal part of the actuator)
  • the working arm which is formed by the section from the joint between the trigger member and the housing to the point at which the vertical part of the actuator contacts the valve of the container.
  • the actuating force exerted on the hood according to the invention is therefore cumulatively increased by the combination effect of the two levers.
  • the dispensing hood 10 has a housing 12 with hollow side walls 14 and 16 which delimit a slot 18, a vertical wall 20 (FIG. 3) and front walls 22 and 24 which also delimit the slot 18.
  • the side walls 14 and 16 of the housing 12 have at their lower end a circular flange 26 which, in a manner known per se, can be snap-fitted onto the conventional flanged rim, which is connected to the opening rim by connecting the cup-shaped mounting cap 28 (FIG. 3) of the pressurized container 30 (which is shown partially schematically in FIGS. 2 and 3) is formed.
  • Rear walls 21 extend outward from the vertical wall 20.
  • An actuator 32 is arranged in the slot 18 of the housing 12.
  • the actuator 32 has a horizontal part 34 and a vertical part 36.
  • a channel 38 runs through the vertical part 36 of the actuator 32 and continues in the horizontal part 34 as a channel 40.
  • a valve stem receiving socket 42 is formed, which forms a recess for receiving the valve stem 44 of a conventional valve of the pressurized container.
  • One end of the horizontal part 34 of the actuator 32 forms a pin 46 for receiving an insert 48 with a dispensing opening 50.
  • the pin 46 and the insert 48 can be designed in a manner known per se, preferably as a dispensing system with a plurality of channels leading to the dispensing opening, usually referred to as a "swirl chamber".
  • An articulated arm 52 which ends in an articulation 54, extends away from the connection of the horizontal part 34 to the vertical part 36 of the actuating member 32.
  • the housing 12 and the actuator 32 are preferably formed in one piece from plastic, the joint 54 being produced in one piece with the housing 12.
  • the movement path of the actuating member when opening an aerosol valve to be actuated vertically in a manner known per se should be as close as possible to that of the valve stem, namely vertically.
  • the joint between the actuator and the housing is placed in a plane which extends radially outward from the upper end of the valve stem, preferably in the middle of the path covered by the valve stem during actuation.
  • the trigger member 56 (see in particular FIG. 1) has a yoke part 58 with a cover plate 60 and side walls 62 and 64. Pins 66 are provided on both side walls 62 and 64.
  • the trigger member 56 has a finger receiving part 68, the top of which is grooved Plate 70.
  • the yoke part 58 delimits an opening 72 which is dimensioned such that the yoke part 58 with the opening 72 fits onto the horizontal part 34 of the actuating member 32 and is slidably displaceable thereon.
  • the grooved plate 70 represents another feature of the invention: it forms a collection channel for falling drops of the product dispensed from the container after the valve is closed. The product dripping onto the plate 70 runs along the groove into the interior of the dispensing hood instead of dripping from the container or onto the user's hand.
  • the pins 66 are guided along in grooves 74 on the inner sides of the hollow side walls 14 and 16.
  • the grooves 74 diverge slightly toward the output end of the actuator 32. They end in recesses 76, which are deeper than the inner ends of the grooves 74, so that when the trigger member 56 has been inserted into its end position beyond the grooves 74, the pins 66 engage in the recesses 76 and the trigger member 56 in this Hold the installation position.
  • the front end of the yoke part 58 is flush with the front walls 22 of the housing 12.
  • the pins 66 act as a hinge for the trigger member so that it acts as a second lever when the trigger member 56 is moved toward the container.
  • the maximum leverage of the trigger member is achieved in that the joint of the trigger member is as tight as possible, that is, as it is made by injection molding and assembly, at the opposing pressure of the valve which is under internal pressure the container and from the point of contact between the trigger member and the actuator is arranged away.
