Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, the aerosol protection containers described in the above patent documents and the like still had room for improvement.

[0006] In other words, although the aerosol protective container described in Patent Document 1, etc., has a bottom in the inner case, it is only attached to the body of the aerosol container and does not restrict the movement of the aerosol container. For example, if the aerosol protective container is shaken, the aerosol container may move up and down relative to the inner case, causing the top lid to come off or the aerosol container to fly out of the inner case. Furthermore, because the body and bottom of the aerosol container are in close contact with the inner case, temperature changes in the aerosol container during spraying are easily transmitted to the inner and outer cases, potentially causing condensation on the inner and outer cases, or causing the hands holding the aerosol protective container to become cold. Furthermore, there was a risk that if the aerosol container were dropped along with the protective container, the aerosol container would be directly impacted through the inner and outer cases.

[0007] The present invention aims to solve these problems and provide an aerosol protective container that can securely fix an aerosol container with a simple structure, suppress the transmission of temperature changes of the aerosol container to the outside, and suppress the direct transmission of impact from drops to the aerosol container. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The aerosol protective container of the present invention comprises a protective cover that fits onto the upper part of an aerosol container and a protective container body connected to the protective cover, wherein the protective cover has a top plate portion, a through hole formed in the center of the top plate portion and penetrating vertically, a hanging wall that hangs down from around the through hole of the top plate portion, and an outer peripheral wall portion that hangs down from the top plate portion radially outward from the hanging wall, the hanging wall is provided with a fitting portion that fits onto the upper part of an aerosol container, and the outer peripheral wall portion is provided with a connecting portion that connects to the protective container body, the protective container body has a tubular neck portion and a body wall portion formed below the neck portion, and the neck portion is provided with a connected portion that connects to the connecting portion The inner diameter of the neck portion is smaller than the inner diameter of the protective container body other than the neck portion, and is formed to be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the aerosol container. This solves the aforementioned problem. The aerosol protective container of the present invention is an aerosol protective container having a protective cover that fits onto the upper part of an aerosol container and a protective container body connected to the protective cover, wherein the protective cover has a top plate portion, a through hole formed in the center of the top plate portion and penetrating vertically, a hanging wall that hangs down from around the through hole of the top plate portion, and an outer peripheral wall portion that hangs down from the top plate portion radially outward from the hanging wall, the hanging wall is provided with a fitting portion that fits onto the upper part of an aerosol container, and the outer peripheral wall portion is provided with a connecting portion that connects to the protective container body, the protective container body has a cylindrical neck portion and a body wall portion formed below the neck portion, the neck portion is provided with a connected portion that connects to the connecting portion, and the protective container body is composed of a body upper portion having the connected portion and a body lower portion that is detachable from the body upper portion, thereby solving the above problem. The aerosol protective container of the present invention is an aerosol protective container having a protective cover that fits onto the upper part of an aerosol container and a protective container body connected to the protective cover, wherein the protective cover has a top plate portion, a through hole formed in the center of the top plate portion and penetrating vertically, a hanging wall that hangs down from around the through hole of the top plate portion, and an outer peripheral wall portion that hangs down from the top plate portion radially outward from the hanging wall, the hanging wall is provided with a fitting portion that fits onto the upper part of an aerosol container, and the outer peripheral wall portion is provided with a connecting portion that connects to the protective container body, the protective container body has a tubular neck portion and a body wall portion formed below the neck portion, the neck portion is provided with a connected portion that connects to the connecting portion, and the connection between the connecting portion and the connected portion is by screw engagement, thereby solving the above problem. The aerosol protective container of the present invention is an aerosol protective container having a protective cover that fits onto the upper part of an aerosol container and a protective container body connected to the protective cover, wherein the protective cover has a top plate portion, a through hole formed in the center of the top plate portion and penetrating vertically, a hanging wall that hangs down from around the through hole of the top plate portion, and an outer peripheral wall portion that hangs down from the top plate portion radially outward from the hanging wall, the hanging wall is provided with a fitting portion that fits onto the upper part of an aerosol container, and the outer peripheral wall portion is provided with a connecting portion that connects to the protective container body, the protective container body has a tubular neck portion and a body wall portion formed below the neck portion, the neck portion is provided with a connected portion that connects to the connecting portion, and the fitting portion is configured to fit onto the aerosol valve unit of the aerosol container, thereby solving the above problem.

[0009] In the aerosol protection container of the invention according to claim 1, since the fitting portion provided on the hanging wall of the protection cover is fitted and fixed to the upper portion of the aerosol container, the body portion of the aerosol container does not need to be in close contact with the protection container body, and the temperature change during aerosol use is less likely to be transmitted to the protection container body, thereby suppressing condensation on the aerosol protection container and the hands from getting cold. Further, if the body portion and the bottom portion of the aerosol container are fixed in a floating state, the impact directly received by the aerosol container when the aerosol protection container falls can be mitigated. Further, even if the aerosol protection container is shaken, the aerosol container does not jump out of the aerosol protection container. Further, since the entire aerosol container can be covered by the aerosol protection container, a design that does not draw attention to the aerosol container can be achieved, improving the aesthetic appearance. Furthermore, the inner diameter of the neck is smaller than the inner diameter of the protective container body excluding the neck, and slightly larger than the outer diameter of the aerosol container. Therefore, when inserting the aerosol container into the protective container body, the central axes of the aerosol container and the protective container body can be aligned at the neck. If the protective cover is attached to the aerosol container beforehand, the positioning of the protective cover and the protective container body can be easily performed. In the aerosol protective container according to claim 2, a fitting portion provided on the hanging wall of the protective cover fits and is fixed to the upper part of the aerosol container. Therefore, the body of the aerosol container does not need to be in close contact with the protective container body, and temperature changes during aerosol use are less likely to be transmitted to the protective container body, thereby suppressing condensation on the aerosol protective container and preventing hands from getting cold. Furthermore, by securing the aerosol container in a suspended position at the body or bottom, the impact on the aerosol container when it falls along with the protective container can be mitigated. Furthermore, even if you shake the aerosol protective container, the aerosol container will not fly out of the container. Furthermore, since the entire aerosol container can be covered by the aerosol protective container, it is possible to create a design that does not draw attention to the aerosol container, thus improving aesthetics. Furthermore, since the protective container body consists of an upper part and a lower part that can be attached to the upper part, it is possible to modify it according to the required application and design by, for example, using a common design for the upper part and adding a handle or using different materials for the lower part. Furthermore, increasing the weight at the bottom of the unit can lower the center of gravity, improving the self-standing ability of the aerosol protective container. Furthermore, by adjusting the length of the lower part of the unit, it is possible to adjust it to a suitable height even when using a short aerosol container.

[0010] In the aerosol protective container according to claim 3, a fitting portion provided on the hanging wall of the protective cover fits and is fixed to the upper part of the aerosol container. Therefore, the body of the aerosol container does not need to be in close contact with the protective container body, and temperature changes during aerosol use are less likely to be transmitted to the protective container body, thereby suppressing condensation on the aerosol protective container and preventing hands from getting cold. Furthermore, by securing the aerosol container in a suspended position at the body or bottom, the impact on the aerosol container when it falls along with the protective container can be mitigated. Furthermore, even if you shake the aerosol protective container, the aerosol container will not fly out of the container. Furthermore, since the entire aerosol container can be covered by the aerosol protective container, it is possible to create a design that does not draw attention to the aerosol container, thus improving aesthetics. Furthermore, since the connection between the connecting part and the connected part is a screw engagement, even when using an aerosol container filled with contents that need to be shaken immediately before use, for example, the protective cover and the protective container body are prevented from accidentally coming apart when the entire aerosol protective container is shaken, making it safer to use.

[0011] In the aerosol protective container according to claim 4, a fitting portion provided on the hanging wall of the protective cover fits and is fixed to the upper part of the aerosol container. Therefore, the body of the aerosol container does not need to be in close contact with the protective container body, and temperature changes during aerosol use are less likely to be transmitted to the protective container body, thereby suppressing condensation of the aerosol protective container and preventing hands from getting cold. Furthermore, by securing the aerosol container in a suspended position at the body or bottom, the impact on the aerosol container when it falls along with the protective container can be mitigated. Furthermore, even if you shake the aerosol protective container, the aerosol container will not fly out of the container. Furthermore, since the entire aerosol container can be covered by the aerosol protective container, it is possible to create a design that does not draw attention to the aerosol container, thus improving aesthetics. Furthermore, since the mating portion is configured to fit with the aerosol valve unit of the aerosol container, a common protective cover can be used for aerosol containers of various sizes and shapes. This eliminates the need to stock molds or protective covers of different shapes, thus suppressing cost increases.

[0012] According to the configuration described in claim 5, since the protective container body has a bottom portion connected to the lower part of the body wall, a sealed layer of air can be formed between the aerosol container and the protective container body, thereby suppressing the transfer of heat from the outside air to the aerosol container. Furthermore, since the entire aerosol container is covered by the protective container body and the aerosol container is not exposed, the adhesion of moisture and dirt due to the usage environment to the aerosol container can be suppressed, thereby improving corrosion resistance. Furthermore, by filling the space between the aerosol container and the protective container with liquid, gel, bubble wrap, glass wool, etc., it is possible to promote or prevent temperature changes inside or outside the aerosol container, thereby stabilizing the spray pattern of the contents and further improving impact resistance.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0014] An aerosol protective container 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0015] As shown in Figures 1 to 7, an aerosol protective container 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a protective cover 110 that holds the aerosol container C, a protective container body 120 connected to the lower part of the protective cover 110, and a cap 130 connected to the upper part of the protective cover 110. The protective cover 110 has a top plate portion 111, a through hole 112 that penetrates the center of the top plate portion 111, a hanging wall 113 that hangs down from around the through hole 112, and an outer peripheral wall portion 115 that hangs down from the top plate portion 111 radially outward from the hanging wall 113.

[0016] A fitting portion 114 is provided on the lower inner circumferential surface of the hanging wall 113, projecting radially inward. The upper outer surface of the outer circumferential wall portion 115 is provided with a locking projection 117 that protrudes radially outward, and the lower inner surface of the outer circumferential wall portion 115 is provided with a connecting portion 116 that protrudes radially inward.

[0017] The protective container body 120 has a cylindrical neck portion 121 that forms an opening 125, a body wall portion 123 connected to the lower part of the neck portion 121, and a bottom portion 124 connected to the lower part of the body wall portion 123. The outer circumferential surface of the neck portion 121 is provided with a connected portion 122 that can be screw-engaged with the connecting portion 116. Furthermore, the inner circumferential surface of the neck portion 121 is formed such that the inner diameter narrows as it goes downward from the opening 125 side. The inner diameter of the inner surface of the main body wall portion 123 is formed to be larger than the inner diameter of the inner surface of the neck portion 121.

[0018] The cap 130 has a cap top surface 131, a cylindrical wall portion 132 hanging down from the outer peripheral edge of the cap top surface 131, and an engaging portion 133 formed on the lower inner surface of the cylindrical wall portion 132. The engaging portion 133 is configured to be able to engage with the locking projection 117.

[0019] The aerosol container C is sealed at the top by an aerosol valve unit V, and the communication between the inside of the aerosol container C and the outside air is opened and closed by moving the stem S up and down. Furthermore, an aerosol button B is fitted onto the stem S, and by pressing the aerosol button B and pushing down the stem S, the blockage of the flow path (not shown) inside the aerosol valve unit V is released, allowing the contents of the aerosol container C to be sprayed.

[0020] Next, the procedure for attaching the aerosol container C to the aerosol protective container 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to Figures 3 to 7. First, the fitting portion 114 is fitted onto the aerosol valve unit V of the aerosol container C, and the protective cover 110 is attached to the aerosol container C. At this time, by fitting the aerosol valve unit V tightly to the lower surface of the top plate portion 111, the misalignment of the central axis between the protective cover 110 and the aerosol container C can be minimized.

[0021] Next, as shown in Figure 8, the aerosol container C with the protective cover 110 attached is inserted into the protective container body 120. Since the inner diameter of the neck portion 121 of the protective container body 120 gradually narrows downward from the opening 125 side, if the narrowest inner diameter of the inner circumferential surface of the neck portion 121 is formed to be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the aerosol container C, the opening 125 will serve as a guide to easily insert the aerosol container C into the protective container body 120, and after the aerosol container C is inserted, the misalignment of the central axes of the protective container body 120 and the aerosol container C can be minimized. In other words, the misalignment of the central axes between the protective container body 120 and the protective cover 110 can be minimized.

[0022] After inserting the aerosol container C, the connecting part 116 is screw-engaged with the connecting part 122 which has a threaded portion. As shown in Figure 3, the protective cover 110 is attached to the protective container body 120, and the aerosol container C is held in the aerosol protective container 100 with its bottom raised and its body not touching anything other than the innermost diameter portion of the neck part 121. This makes it less likely for temperature changes inside the aerosol container to be transmitted to the protective container body 120 when the contents are continuously dispensed from the aerosol container C, thereby preventing condensation on the outer surface of the protective container body 120 and preventing the hands of the operator from getting cold. Furthermore, since the neck portion 121 and the aerosol container C are in close contact with each other, the protective container body 120 forms a sealed space between the aerosol container C, the main body wall portion 123, and the bottom portion 124, creating a layer of air between the aerosol container C and the protective container body 120. This also suppresses heat transfer from the outside of the aerosol protective container 100 to the aerosol container C, and prevents deterioration of the contents inside the aerosol container C due to sudden temperature changes.

[0023] Furthermore, since the aerosol container C is fixed in a floating state within the protective container body 120, the impact that the aerosol container C directly receives when the aerosol protective container 100 is dropped can be mitigated. Furthermore, by filling the space between the aerosol container C and the protective container body 120 with liquid, gel, bubble wrap, glass wool, etc., it is possible to promote or prevent temperature changes inside or outside the aerosol container C, thereby stabilizing the spray pattern of the contents and further improving impact resistance. Furthermore, since the top surface of the aerosol container C interferes with the top plate portion 111, even if the aerosol container C is shaken together with the aerosol protective container 100, the aerosol container C will not fly out of the protective container body 120.

[0024] In this embodiment, the protective container body 120 has been described as being composed of a single part. However, the protective container body 120 may be composed of multiple parts. For example, by constructing the upper part of the protective container body 120 from a lighter material and the lower part from a heavier material and connecting them, the center of gravity of the aerosol protective container 100 can be lowered, thereby improving the self-standing stability of the aerosol protective container 100. Furthermore, by providing parts with different molded colors and designs, the protective container body 120 can be formed in the desired color and design combination for the consumer. Furthermore, a separate cylindrical member may be provided between the protective container body 120 and the aerosol container C to cover the periphery of the aerosol container C. Even if the protective container body 120 is made of a transparent material, this prevents the aerosol container C from being visible through it, further improving the aesthetic appearance. The materials used to make up the aerosol protective container 100 are not particularly limited, and for example, materials such as resin, glass, and wood can be used in appropriate combinations.

[0025] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various design modifications can be made without departing from the present invention as described in the claims.

[0026] In the embodiments described above, the aerosol protective container was described as having a removable cap. However, the configuration of the aerosol protective container is not limited to this. For example, it may be connected to a protective cover by a hinge, or it may not have a cap. Furthermore, although the above-described embodiment assumed that the protective cover and the protective container body are screw-engaged, the method of connecting the protective cover and the protective container body is not limited to this, and for example, press-fit fitting may also be used.

[0027] Furthermore, although the above-described embodiment explained that the aerosol container is held with its bottom suspended within the protective container body, the method of holding the aerosol container is not limited to this. For example, the aerosol container may be held so that its bottom contacts the bottom surface of the protective container body, or the innermost diameter of the neck portion may be made sufficiently larger than the outer diameter of the body portion of the aerosol container so that the protective container body and the aerosol container do not come into contact at all. Furthermore, although the above-described embodiment explained that the inner diameter of the neck gradually narrows as it moves downward from the opening, the shape of the neck is not limited to this. For example, the inner diameter of the neck may be uniformly formed, or there may be multiple sections where the inner diameter of the neck is narrower.

[0028] Furthermore, although the above-described embodiment explained that the protective cover holds the aerosol container by fitting it with the fitting portion from the radially outer side of the aerosol valve unit, the method of holding the aerosol container with the protective cover is not limited to this, and for example, it may be held by fitting it around the stem of the aerosol valve unit. Furthermore, although the above-described embodiment assumed that the protective container body has a bottom surface, the configuration of the protective container body is not limited to this, and for example, it may not have a bottom surface.
