Abstract

The cap (7) for an aerosol or spray container (1) incorporates an angled spray channel (10) made as a single item out of an elastic synthetic material.

The invention involves a cap with a spray angle integrated into the cap, which surrounds an angled spray channel (10), and with a button to activate a valve of a container, particularly an aerosol container or spray container. The button is intended to act on the stem of the container via the angled spray channel to cause the stem to turn outward upon manual activation of the button, and to cause the valve to open, whereby the product contained in the container, e.g. hairspray, can exit via the stem and via a product discharge opening on the cap for this purpose, while passing through the spray channel. The spray channel has an acoustic seal to achieve a comfortable noise level during the spraying action.
This type of cap is already known from WO 01/96210 A2. The spray channel of this cap is surrounded by sound-absorbing material to reduce the noise level, but also to provide particularly strong dampening of individual frequency ranges. There are layers consisting of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) or TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) provided for this purpose around the spray channel.
The known cap has the disadvantage that the layered manufacturing of the spray angle is - relatively expensive.
Thus, the object of the present invention is to provide a solution for this disadvantage. The object is achieved in that the spray channel is manufactured in one piece from an elastic plastic.
The suggested cap has the advantage that it is relatively economical because it is manufactured in one piece. The high level of elasticity of the material used dampens the vibrations in the material, which can cause noise towards the exterior.
The design of the known spray angle causes relatively high levels of noise emission because relatively hard materials are used, e.g. PP for the spray angle. These embodiments, also known as spray levers, are designed to be very stable mechanically. They can transfer large forces, which, however, do not occur in actual use.
The suggested spray channel can also transfer the required forces to the stem. In addition, it is capable of transferring the path differences of a button, which can be swiveled around a joint, with the differences being up to 7 mm (0.28 in) at the end of the button, to the valve, which normally has a trigger path of from 3.5 to 4 mm (0.14 to 0.16 in). The operational force is not necessarily increased in this process.
The spray channel can be manufactured from a very flexible, elastic, and soft material, particularly a plastic from the TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) or TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) families (Claim 2). One single type of plastic is sufficient for the spray channel. The spray channel can, however, also be manufactured from a mixture of at least two plastics from the TPE or TPU families (Claim 3), particularly PP or PE (Claim 4). Mixtures of TPE with PP or PE or another plastic are also conceivable. Tests have shown that a spray lever consisting of PP must contain at least 40 % TPE (Claim 5) to have a good noise dampening effect.
The present invention is explained below in more detail using two figures that show an example of the embodiment. The following is shown:
Figure 1, in a side view with a partial vertical section, shows a cap with a button, which acts on a spray lever containing an angled spray channel, wherein the cap is placed on a container containing hair spray, and wherein the button is not activated; and
Figure 2, in a side view with partial vertical section, shows the object of Figure 1, but with the button activated.
For a cap 7 with a spray angle 2 (integrated into the cap 7), which surrounds an angled spray channel 10, a button 6 is used to activate a valve of a container 1, which is an aerosol container. The button is used to swivel around a joint 5 and to act on a stem 11 of the container 1 via the angled spray channel 10, to cause the stem 11 to turn outwards upon activation of the button 6, and also to cause the valve (not shown) to open, whereby the product contained in the container 1 can exit via the stem 11 and via a product discharge opening 3 intended for this purpose on the cap 7, while passing through the spray channel 10. The spray channel 10 has an acoustic seal. To that end, the spray channel is manufactured in one piece from an elastic plastic. It consists of 50 % PP and 50 % TPE. The TPE is Santoprene®. However, it can also be Vayram® or Evoprene®. Activation of the button 6 causes the spray channel 10 to be deformed because it is connected to the cap 7 in the area of the product discharge opening 3. The spray noise is relatively pleasant.
