Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a safety actuating device for aerosol v lve.
  • a safety device can be used, for example, for aerosol cans intended to be placed in a pocket, bag or suitcase, for example a perfume vaporizer for travel, or a gas vaporizer for defense.
  • a perfume vaporizer for travel for example a perfume vaporizer for travel
  • a gas vaporizer for defense for example a gas vaporizer for defense.
  • the push button has to be turned in relation to the socket before using it.
  • the sleeve is not locked in rotation and can rotate with the button. To obtain the release with certainty, it is practically necessary to use two hands.
  • these devices are often used on defense atomizers, mainly iacrimogenic products. It is necessary in case of besgin. to be able to do so quickly and preferably one single hand.
  • the attachment of the sleeve to the container does not allow an anti-rotating attachment.
  • a safety actuation device for an aerosol valve intended to be mounted in the opening of an aerosol container by means of a metal capsule.
  • said actuating device comprising a cylindrical sleeve and a push button provided with a nozzle, designed to be fitted onto the valve stem of the valve and for turning and sliding in the cylindrical sleeve, remarkable in particular in that the cylindrical sleeve has an internal groove adapted to be fixed by snap-fastening on the crimping of the capsule on the valve.
  • the crimping of the capsule onto the valve necessarily has a smaller diameter than that of the crimping of the capsule onto the container. It is therefore necessary to achieve a higher friction between the sleeve and the capsule. But, because this crimping is of small diameter, it is possible to carry it out in poly q onal form. The sleeve can then be positively fixed against rotation on the polygonal crimp.
  • the dimension of the sleeve will be adapted to the dimension of the crimp, that is to say to the dimension of the valve. It is independent of the size of the container.
  • the sleeve 1 is formed essentially in a cylinder. It has at an appropriate level an internal flange 3 allowing the attachment to the tower 21 of an aerosol valve whose shape and structure are well known.
  • the tourett-e 21 is the central raised part of the capsule 22 which is crimped around the valve 25.
  • the valve has for this purpose a circular bead 25a at its outer end.
  • the capsule 22 is formed from a washer: the central part 22a is crimped around the bead 25a of the valve, and the outer part 22b is crimped around the edge 26a of the opening of a container 1 26, with interposition of a seal 27.
  • the valve normally comprises a valve stem 28 and a nozzle 29 for connecting a dip tube. Such an arrangement is conventional.
  • the button 2 fitted with a nozzle 4 is mounted in the usual way on the tubular outer end of the valve stem 28.
  • the outside diameter of the button 2 is equal to the clearance close to the inside diameter of the sleeve 1, and the button engages inside the socket in which it can slide within determined limits.
  • the upper edge of the sleeve has two cutouts. A first cutout 6 is provided to release the nozzle 4, when the button 2 is in the socket, at a determined depth and orientation.
  • the depth is determined either by the collar 3 on which the base of the button rests, or by other means described below.
  • the button 2 to be hooked inside the socket 1.
  • This hooking can be obtained by cooperation of a raised rib 8, of preferably at the base of the button 2, with another rib 9, in relief inside the sleeve 1, at a level above the flange 3 chosen to cooperate properly with the rib 8.
  • the ribs may have a section allowing an irreversible click, or any form of bead.
  • One of the ribs can be replaced by a groove in which the rib of the other part engages, or one of the ribs can be constituted by several non-contiguous segments.
  • the setting in orientation is determined by cooperation of a bar 11, forming a raised generator on the button 2, with a second cutout 12 formed in the wall of the socket 1.
  • the angle ot between the spokes of the button passing through the bar 11 and the nozzle 4 is equal to the angle of the rays of the capsule passing through the middle of the cutout 6 and through the middle of the second cutout 12.
  • the bottom 12a of the cutout 12 is quite low, as is the collar 3 for the un- wanted to be sufficient to trigger the enfoncén valve operation.
  • the valve comprises in a well known manner a spring which maintains the button 2 in the raised position.
  • the cutout 12 extends on one side over a part of the height, following an enlargement 13 making it possible to fold or rotate the bar 11, by sliding the bottom 11a of this bar on the lower edge 13a of the enlargement 13 .
  • the bar 11 of the button 2 extends over the entire height of the button 2. It will be understood that it is an appreciable convenience for actuating the button in rotation about its axis, but that the bar could not not extend to one and / or the other of the ends.
  • the levels 12a and 13a of the bottoms of the cutout 12 and the widening 13 are provided accordingly.
  • the respective heights at which the ribs 8 and 9 are formed are chosen so that these ribs are snapped when the bottom 11a of the bar 11 comes to bear on the bottom 13a of the enlargement 13.
  • the button 2 cannot therefore go up and out of the socket due to the presence of these ribs 8 and 9, but nothing prevents it from going down with the correct orientation, until the bottom of the button abuts against the flange 3 or until the bottom 11a of the bar comes up against the bottom 12a of the cutout 12, or even until the valve stem, on which the button is fitted, reaches the bottom stop.
  • the thickness in the radial direction of the bar 11 is equal to or less than the thickness of the wall of the sleeve. It therefore has no lateral projection.
  • the outer face of the bar may have grooving, knurling or the like.
  • the groove 3a of the collar 3 defines a polygonal opening, with a perimeter identical to that of the constriction 22c of the crimping of the central edge 22a of the cup, just below the bead 25a of the valve 25
  • This crimping of small diameter can easily be carried out in the form of a hexagon, and with a socket having a hexagonal opening as shown in FIG. 4; we have an excellent rotation setting.
  • the device is used in the following manner.
  • the sleeve 1 is fitted onto the spinner 21 of the capsule 22 of an aerosol valve 25 mounted on a canister 26.
  • the button 2 is placed in the axis of the sleeve, the bar 11 being oriented to be in line with the enlargement 13.
  • the button is then pushed in until the bottom stop 11a of the bar on the bottom 13a of the enlargement, causing the rib 8 of the button 2 to snap under the rib 9.
  • the device is then ready to be used; it is in the safety position: the bar 11 abuts on the bottom 13a of the enlargement 13 and the nozzle 4 is masked by the wall of the sleeve 1.
  • Figure 5 shows in detail in section, the assembly of the sleeve 1 by means of the groove 3a of the flange 3 cooperating with the constriction 22c of the crimping.
  • the dimension of the groove 3a is adapted to that of the valve 25, in particular to its outside diameter.
  • the bottom of the socket is placed in the vicinity of the wall of the container 26. It can be seen that with the fixing of the present invention, the socket / push button assembly can be mounted on containers of different dimensions. It suffices to use on the valve 25 a cup adapted to the container.
  • FIG. 6 the upper part of a container 30 is shown in the neck of which a valve is mounted by means of a capsule 31.
  • the turret 32 of the capsule is crimped on the valve by a hexagonal constriction in which is engaged the internal edge of the collar 35 of the sleeve 36.
  • the collar 35 can be entirely flat, there is no need for a skirt to tighten in the hollow of a cup.
  • valves 10 or 12 mm in diameter can be mounted, for example, in capsules allowing crimping to be made on the mouths of cans of 14 to 21 mm in diameter, for example.
  • the inside diameter of the socket 36 can be 22 mm, corresponding to the outside diameter of the push button. This highlights the possibility of using a push button with its socket, associated with a valve, on canisters of openings of different dimensions.
