Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" This invention relates to a spraying device for spraying air fresheners, deodorants, insecticides, etc. from an aerosol product into rooms such as toilets.

``Problems to be solved by conventional technology and ideas'' Conventionally, this type of spraying device has a valve opening/closing lever protruding from the valve of an aerosol product that is fixed to a pillar, wall, etc. in an appropriate manner, and this lever is There was one that sprayed by pulling it downward with a string.

However, such spray devices also pull the aerosol product downward during operation, so
The aerosol product detaches from the pillar, wall, etc., and not only the weight of the aerosol product but also the tensile force of the string is applied.
There were cases where the aerosol product strongly hit the head of the operator who was pulling the string, which was highly dangerous.

In addition, a fixing rod is fixedly protruded from a fixed body fixed to a pillar, a wall, etc., a cap is rotatably supported on the fixing rod by a spindle, an aerosol container is fitted and fixed to this cap, and the aerosol container is fixedly fixed. The pressed part of the push button is provided in contact with a part of the fixing rod so that it can be pressed, and by pressing the side of the aerosol container laterally, the pressed part of the push button is fixed by the pressing movement of the aerosol container. In some cases, the rod pressed down to spray. Such a spraying device is described, for example, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 53-38885.

However, with such spray devices, the part that presses (aerosol container) and the part that sprays (nozzle) are located close to each other, so the spray liquid may be sprayed onto the operator's face or clothes. It was something I didn't like.

In any of the above-mentioned spraying devices, the spraying operation must be performed manually, which is troublesome when used frequently.

In addition, various automatic spray devices have been proposed that use a motor as a power source in combination with electric components such as solenoids, relays, switches, and cams to automatically press the button on the aerosol product. Ta.

However, such a spraying device has a large number of parts, resulting in high cost. In addition, a power outlet was required, and the cords were complicated and troublesome in some cases. Furthermore, when dry batteries were used, it was troublesome to replace the batteries when they ran out.

This idea was made in view of the above circumstances,
To provide a spraying device that automatically sprays air fresheners, deodorants, insecticides, etc. from an aerosol product using water supplied from a water supply pipe of a toilet flushing device or a faucet for hand washing without requiring a power source. With the goal.

"Means for Solving the Problems" In order to achieve the above object, the spraying device of this invention is a spraying device comprising a liquid guiding member having a liquid passage and an aerosol product, the liquid guiding member having a liquid passage. An aerosol button which is provided with a movable body having a liquid passage formed therein, is provided with a return means for returning the movable body to its original position, and has an injection hole for opening and closing the valve of the movable body and an aerosol product. A connecting body connects the opening/closing lever connected to the liquid guide member, and when the liquid flows in the liquid passage of the liquid guide member, the moving body moves depending on the flow velocity or moving pressure of the liquid, and along with this movement, the opening/closing lever is opened and closed via the connecting body. The lever moves to open the valve, and the aerosol contents are injected from the injection hole of the aerosol button. When the flow of liquid stops, the return means returns the movable body to its original position, and the opening/closing lever returns to its original position. The valve is returned to the position shown in FIG. 1, and the valve is closed to stop injection.

Next, the operation of the above spray device will be explained.

Open the container and remove the liquid guide member 2 from the liquid supply pipe S.
When water is supplied to the passage 33 of No. 8, as shown in FIG.
The stopper 50 resists the elastic force of the coil spring 42.
With this movement, the string 23 is pulled in the direction of the arrow, thereby tilting the button 20 in the direction of the arrow. When the button 20 is tilted, the stem 13 is tilted, so that the valve portion 1
4 is separated from the stem rubber 7 in the tilting direction side, and the valve 3 becomes open, so that the contents such as the aromatic agent in the aerosol container 2 pass through the dip tube 12, the through hole 11, and the stem orifice 17 to the button 20. It is sprayed from the injection hole. On the other hand, the supplied water passes through the liquid passage 45 of the movable body 44 and further flows out through the passage 34 to the outside. You can wash your hands with this water.

When the water supply from the liquid supply pipe S is stopped or reduced by closing the pot or the like, the movable body 44 returns to its original position by the elastic force of the coil spring 42. On the other hand, the button 20 and the stem 13 return to their original positions due to the elastic force of the spring 16. Therefore, the valve 3 is closed and spraying stops.

In the case of the above-mentioned spray device, when you open the pot etc. when washing your hands and supply water from the supply pipe S to the liquid guide member 28, the air freshener etc. will be automatically sprayed from the aerosol product 1. Therefore, there is no need for troublesome spraying operations. Also, there is no danger during operation unlike in the conventional case. Furthermore, since it does not require a power source or the like and has a simple structure, it has the advantage of fewer failures and low manufacturing and running costs.

In addition, when the water supply from the supply pipe S is stopped by closing the pot, etc., the spraying will automatically stop, eliminating wasteful consumption of air fresheners, etc., and thus saving on air fresheners. can.

Further, since the spray device is attached by fitting the clamping member 35 to the supply pipe S, there is an advantage that installation of the spray device is extremely simple and easy compared to conventional spray devices. Furthermore, this spray device has the advantage that it can be easily removed and attached to other supply pipes.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the aerosol product.

In this embodiment, the aerosol button B and the rod-shaped opening/closing lever R for opening and closing the valve 3 are constructed separately, and these are joined together. and string 2
3 is fixed to the opening/closing lever R. Further, the upper part of the aerosol button B is bent in the horizontal direction (to the left in the figure), so that the contents in the aerosol container 2 can be sprayed in the horizontal direction. The other configurations are the same as in FIGS. 1 to 4.

In this embodiment as well, the same effects as in the previous embodiment can be obtained.

``Effect of the invention'' As explained above, with the spray device of this invention, if water is supplied from the water supply pipe of the toilet flushing device or the hand washing faucet to the liquid passage of the liquid guiding member, the aerosol product can be removed. Since the fragrance etc. are automatically sprayed, there is no need for troublesome spraying operations. Also, there is no danger during operation unlike in the conventional case. Furthermore, since it does not require a power source or the like and has a simple structure, it has the advantage of fewer failures and low manufacturing and running costs.

Furthermore, since the spraying automatically stops when the water supply stops, it is possible to eliminate wasteful consumption of fragrances and the like, thereby saving on fragrances and the like.
