Abstract

Provided is a constant volume ejection mechanism in which a constant volume chamber is provided between a stem and external space region of an aerosol container which uses a compressed gas, wherein after-draw, in which contents leak from an ejection port after ejection, can be reliably prevented. An intermediate valve (9b, 9c, 13a) between an upstream pressurization chamber A and a downstream constant volume chamber B, which are formed by dividing the inside of a tank 8 with a piston 11, is provided with a cylindrical part 9c that fits to the outer circumference of an upward projection 13a, so as to prevent the intermediate valve from entering an open state immediately after the release of a push-down operation of an operation button 5. Further, a shaft 14 of a downstream valve (14a, 14b, 14c, 16) between the constant volume chamber B and the external space region is configured to directly enter a closed state due to a reduction in passing flow power by a returning force of a shaft spring 15 or a shaft gasket 16, and this closed state is reliably ensured by a step portion 14c. Due to the above configurations, the downstream valve is put into a closed state in advance by the movement of the contents for subsequent ejection from the pressurization chamber A to the fixed volume chamber B, and the contents are thus prevented from leaking out from an ejection port of a nozzle chip 6.

Abstract

The present invention is directed to the improvement of a moving valve member in a shared passageway in a mechanism, for mixing and discharging contents, where first and second contents separately housed within an aerosol container are, as a result of a discharge operation performed using a single discharge part, discharged in a mixed state via first and second stems constituting respective upstream valves and via the movable valve member in the downstream shared passageway. The present invention comprises a cam member 14 and a cam follower 13b that, in tandem with a discharge operation performed on an operating surface 15a, set a movable valve member 13 of a shared passageway 12c to an open state. The downward movement of the cam member 14 caused by the discharge operation first causes a first stem 3 and a second stem, which function as respective upstream valves for the first and second contents, to shift, against weak elastic force, from a previously closed state to an open state, followed by the cam action of the cam member 14 and the cam follower 13b causing the movable valve member 13 to slide rearward, against strong elastic force from a lateral coil spring 13d, and shift from a previously closed state to an open state.

Abstract

In this reverse fixed quantity jetting mechanism that discharges the content contained in a fixed quantity chamber in a step for releasing a jet operation, the storage of bubble components in the fixed quantity chamber is inhibited. In this reverse fixed quantity jetting mechanism, a content including a jet agent such as a liquefied gas is introduced into a fixed quantity chamber A between an inlet valve B and an outlet valve C from a container body side by closing the outlet valve C and opening the inlet valve B on the basis of a jet operation, and then, in a step for releasing the jet operation, the content, in which bubble components are generated, is jetted to the outside from the fixed quantity chamber A by closing the inlet valve B and opening the outlet valve C. The fixed quantity chamber A is provided with an annular movable wall 6 and a longitudinal outside coil spring 6a that biases the annular movable wall 6 in a direction in which the volume of the fixed quantity chamber A is reduced. The fixed quantity chamber A expands by a pressure action of the content introduced from the container body side, and the fixed quantity chamber A contracts when the content in which bubble components are generated is jetted to the outside, thereby inhibiting storage.

Abstract

In an aerosol-type invertible valve mechanism, the present invention addresses the problem of preventing the occurrence of "gas entrainment" of vaporized gas in the contents, stabilizing continuous spraying of the contents and improving efficient use of invertible valve mechanism parts without especially changing the size or material of the moving valve itself. The vertical spacing (L), in the upright state, between the lower end portion of a ball valve (7), which closes an upper central cylindrical section (6b) in the upright state and prevents the inflow of vaporized gas inside the upper part of a container body into a shared invertible passage (C), and the upper end portions of outflow holes (6f), which are the beginning portions of the shared invertible passage (C) and are common to an upright inflow passage (A) and an inverted inflow passage (B), is set to be at least 3.5 mm, more preferably, at least 3.7 mm. Said setting prevents "dancing" of the ball valve (7) due to upward flow energy of the contents flowing in from the upright inflow passage (A) in the upright operation mode, and is able to prevent the occurrence of "gas entrainment" of vaporized gas in sprayed contents that occurs as a result of the gas entering the shared invertible passage (C) via the "dancing" ball valve (7).

Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to, while maintaining an easy mounting operation through circumferential rotation of members of a common-use nozzle and an attachment for mounting an additional nozzle, prevent unnecessary cancelation of a content sealing action between these members. A cam action opening (3f) having a first cam acting section (3n) and a first seal retaining section (3j, 3m) is provided to an attachment (3) provided with an additional nozzle (3r). A rectangular column protruding section (2a) having a second cam acting section (2d) and a second seal retaining section (2b, 2e) is provided to a common-use nozzle (2a) of an operation button (1). In order to mount the attachment (3) onto the common-use nozzle (2), a front-back direction groove section (3g) thereof is fitted to the rectangular column protruding section (2a), is operated to slide backward, and then is operated to rotate in direction A. The action of the cam acting section (3n, 2d) during this rotation causes the common-use nozzle (2) and an annular raised section (3d) to be in close contact with each other. A sealed state thereof is surely maintained by the action of abutment between the first seal retaining section (3j, 3m) and the second seal retaining section (2b, 2e).

Abstract

The present invention minimizes deformation corresponding to a stationary mode of a lower central edge part of a stem gasket in an aerosol-type content discharge mechanism, reliably holds the stationary mode position of a stem, and maintains a sealing effect between the stem and the stem gasket. The stem (1) of this content discharge mechanism is provided with vertical rib sections (1f) each extending downward and outward from the lower edge side of an annular shoulder section (1d). A vertically recessed space (1h) comprising a tapered bottom surface (1j) inclined downward and outward so as to continue from the annular shoulder section (1d) is configured between adjacent vertical rib sections. The vertically recessed space (1h) acts as a fall space area for residual content that adheres to the annular shoulder section (1d) and that is scraped off by the stem gasket when returning to the stationary mode. When in the stationary mode, a central opening lower circumferential surface (3b) of the stem gasket (3) is in close contact with the annular shoulder section (1d), and an inner edge-side annular bottom surface (3c) in the vicinity of the exterior of the stem gasket (3) is in close contact with a horizontal upper surface (1g) of the vertical rib sections (1f).

Abstract

The present invention is designed to reliably prevent unintentional operation of a depress-and-rotate-type content release operating part and to stabilize and improve sliding operation of said operating part to select a locked mode or an unlocked mode and depressing operation for releasing the contents. A guide member (2a) is provided with guides (2k, 2n) for guiding the sliding operation of the operating part (1). The operating part (1) is provided with guided parts (1g, 1j), which are respectively guided and held by the guides, and a content passage (3)-driving part (1f). In the locked mode in which the operating part (1) is in a forward position, the guided parts (1g, 1j) are respectively held by the guides (2k, 2n) and content-releasing operation of the operating part is inhibited. In the unlocked mode shown in which the operating part (1) is moved backward, said held sate is cancelled. As a result of a depressing operation of the operating part (1), the operating part rotates centered on the guided part (1g), the driving part (1f) presses a driven part (3d) downward, and the content passage (3) and the stem (4) assume a content-releasing configuration.

Abstract

In the present invention, an expanded housing (2) comprising an outer tubular section (2a), a center-top tubular section (2b), an annular ceiling section (2c), and a center-bottom tubular section (2d) is a plastic, integrally molded product. Vertical plate rib sections (2h) for increasing strength are similarly integrally molded between the outer tubular section (2a) and the center-top tubular section (2b). The upward inner pathway region (B) of housed contents is set to the center-top tubular section (2b). In the housing cover (28) provided in a shape encircling the bottom of the expanded housing (2), an outer pathway region (A) is formed continuing from the top-end inner space region of an inner sac-shaped vessel (1g) to a downward inner pathway region (B) in the space with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the expanded housing (2). Also, a mortar-shaped piece (28k) enters each top inner space region set between adjacent vertical plate rib sections (2h) and acts as the entrance section of the outer pathway region (A), and thus residual air between vertical plate rib sections is reliably discharged.

Abstract

The present invention is a fixed-quantity injection mechanism that uses an actuator comprising a stem connection member (5) an intermediate mobile member (6), and a fixed-quantity-chamber adjustment member (7). On the basis of an injection operation, by means of first the output valve of the actuator closing and the inflow valve of the stem (4) becoming open, vessel body contents flow into a fixed-quantity chamber (A) from the inflow valve to the output valve, and then the stem (4) returns to a still mode position, closing the inflow valve, and the contents of the fixed-quantity chamber (A) are injected to an outside space through the opened output valve by means of the action of liquefied gas or the like. The capacity of the fixed-quantity chamber (A) changes by means of a rotation operation of the fixed-quantity-chamber adjustment member (7) that is screw-coupled to the intermediate mobile member (6). The inflow valve comprises a stem gasket and a horizontal hole section (4b) of the stem (4), and the output valve comprises a frustroconical section (5a) of the stem connection member (5) and an annular protrusion section (6c) of the intermediate mobile member (6). The volume of the fixed-quantity chamber is at a maximum in the state illustrated in the drawing, and becomes smaller as the fixed-quantity-chamber adjustment member (7) is moved downwards.

Abstract

A content discharge mechanism for a container with a pump has a discharge outlet that is fixed in position. The device has an operation button and a cylindrical piston that move as one, as well as a ball valve that rests on a seat. The ball valve opens as the cylindrical piston retracts after an actuation to allow more fluid into the upstream passage chamber. A downstream passage with a valve for dispensation fluidly communicates with the upstream passage through a hole. As the cylindrical piston and its seal slide over the hole, the discharge from the downstream passage stops.

Abstract

A pump mechanism for discharging contents has a receiving space region inside a cylinder, and the ratio of pressure reduction in the receiving space region when a piston is returned after content discharge operation is set greater. As a result, force of sucking contents into the receiving space region is increased, and outside inflow operation, a section from which the contents flows into the receiving space region is reliably closed. A multi-function columnar member (8) is provided in the receiving space region (B) of the cylinder (6), and the columnar member (8) is made up of a circular columnar section (8a) for reducing the volume of the receiving space region and of a tubular section (8d) for pressing a lower ball valve (7). The tubular section (8d) has an elastic section (8g) for pressing the ball valve (7) from the above, an inner peripheral surface (8h) for limiting the movement of the lower ball valve in the left-right directions, a vertical groove (8f) for allowing the contents to pass through between inner surfaces, and other element sections. In the state shown in the figure, when an operation button is pressed, an upper valve (5) is separated from a circular conical section (4b) of a lower piston (4), allowing the contents in the receiving space region (B) to flow in the direction of the arrow to discharge the contents to an external space.

Abstract

Assembly of a tip-stop mechanism is raised in efficiency and is simplified. An opening is provided in the rear side of a spout (1) attached to a stem of a pump/aerosol container, and a needle valve (2) is installed from the opening into a path region (1f) lying in the front-rear direction. Then a peripheral wall rear cover (3) is attached from the rear to the spout (1). In this process, a leg (3a) is engaged with and held in a recess (1c) of the spout (1), and a sheet spring (3b) comes into contact with a tapered surface (2c) of the needle valve (2). A circular conical section (2a) of the needle valve (2) closes a discharge hole (1h) by an effect of the sheet spring. An operation lever (4) is supported at its rotating shaft (4a) by a recess (1b) of the spout (1). In a stationary mode, a section (4b) of the lever (4) lies on a reception section (2e) of the needle valve (2). When the operation lever (4) is operated, the reception section (2e) receives force from the section (4b), which causes the needle valve (2) to recede to open the discharge hole (1h). After that the operation lever (4) comes into contact with an upper surface (1g) of the spout (1) to move down together with the spout and the stem, shifted into an operation mode.
