Abstract

[PROBLEMS] To provide a trigger spray, which is easily operable since a user is not needed to arcuately move his finger in accordance with the rotation of a trigger and from which the trigger does not project to the outside. [MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS] In this trigger spray (X), a liquid in a cylinder (11) communicating with a container is jetted from a nozzle port (21N) through a piston (2) by pushing down the piston (2) so as to rotationally move the trigger (4). The rotational movement of the trigger (4) is performed through a slider (3) formed separately from the trigger (4).

技術分野  Technical field
[0001] 本発明は、トリガーを回動移動させることによりピストンを押し下げて容器に通じるシ リンダ一内の液体をノズルより噴射させるトリガースプレーに関するものである。  The present invention relates to a trigger spray that causes a liquid in a cylinder, which is in communication with a container, to be ejected from a nozzle by pressing down a piston by pivoting a trigger.
背景技術  Background art
[0002] 従来、薬剤等の液体を吹き付けるためにスプレー容器が使用されている。  [0002] Conventionally, a spray container is used to spray a liquid such as a drug.
スプレー容器に取り付けられた吹き付け機構であるポンプデイスペンザには、 例え ばトリガースプレーが使用されている。  For example, a trigger spray is used for a pump dispenser that is a spray mechanism attached to a spray container.
これは、ベース体に対して翼片状のトリガーを回動自在に取り付け、該トリガーを引 くことによりポンプ (シリンダ及びピストンよりなる)を作動させ、その圧縮力によりノズル 力、ら容器内の液体を外に噴射させる方式のものである。  In this case, a blade-like trigger is rotatably attached to the base body, and by pulling the trigger, the pump (comprised of a cylinder and a piston) is operated, and the compression force thereof causes the nozzle force, It is a system of injecting the liquid to the outside.
[0003] 図 8、図 9及び図 10は、その従来の主なるトリガースプレーの一例を具体的に示し たものであり、図 8は構造を示す断面図、図 9は外観図、図 10は掴み方を示す図で ある。 [0003] FIG. 8, FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 specifically show one example of the conventional main trigger spray, and FIG. 8 is a sectional view showing a structure, FIG. 9 is an external view, FIG. It is a figure showing how to grasp.
トリガースプレー XIは、ベース体 101に対してトリガー 102を回動可能に枢着し、該 トリガー 102を引くことによりベース体 101の一部であるシリンダー部 113内の液体を ピストン 104により圧縮してノズル 106から容器内の液体を外に噴射させることができ る構造である。  The trigger spray XI pivotally attaches the trigger 102 to the base body 101, and by pulling the trigger 102, the liquid in the cylinder portion 113 which is a part of the base body 101 is compressed by the piston 104. It is a structure capable of injecting the liquid in the container from the nozzle 106 to the outside.
[0004] すなわち、トリガースプレー XIは、容器本体の口部 Y1に取り付けられた口キャップ  [0004] That is, the trigger spray XI is a mouth cap attached to the mouth Y1 of the container body
107と、該ロキャップ 107に支持固定されたベース体 101とベース体 101の一部であ る第 1バルブケース部 111に装着されたチューブ 110と、第 1バルブケース部 111に 内挿された 1次バルブ 108と、ベース体 101に嵌め込まれたカバー 105及びノズル 1 06と、ベース体 101の一部であるシリンダー部 113内を摺動するピストン 104と、該ピ ストン 104を押圧するためにベース体 101に取り付けられたトリガー 102と、該トリガー 102をベース体 101に弾圧支持するためのバネ体 103と、前記ノズル 106とベース 体 101との間に装着された 2次バルブ 109とを備える。 [0005] このトリガースプレー XIにより、液体を噴射するためには、図 10に示すように、容器 本体の口部付近に親指と人差し指の間を当て他の指をトリガー 102に掛けて、強くト リガ一 102を引き込む。 107, a base body 101 supported and fixed to the lower cap 107, a tube 110 mounted to a first valve case portion 111 which is a part of the base body 101, and a tube 110 inserted into the first valve case portion 111 Next valve 108, cover 105 and nozzle 106 fitted in base body 101, piston 104 sliding in cylinder portion 113 which is a part of base body 101, and base for pressing piston 104 It comprises a trigger 102 attached to the body 101, a spring body 103 for resiliently supporting the trigger 102 on the base body 101, and a secondary valve 109 mounted between the nozzle 106 and the base body 101. [0005] As shown in FIG. 10, to spray a liquid by this trigger spray XI, place between the thumb and forefinger near the mouth of the container main body, place the other finger on the trigger 102, and strongly press the trigger 102. Bring in the RIGA 102.
引き込まれたトリガー 102は、ベース体の支軸部 118を支点として回動しピストン 10 4を押圧する。  The retracted trigger 102 is pivoted about the support shaft portion 118 of the base body to press the piston 104.
ピストン 104は、押圧されてシリンダー内を摺動し充填されている液体を圧縮する。 圧縮圧を受けた液体は、シリンダーに通じる第 2バルブケース部 112を通ってノズ ル先端より外に噴射される。  The piston 104 is pressed to slide in the cylinder and compress the liquid being filled. The liquid subjected to the compression pressure is jetted out of the tip of the nozzle through the second valve case portion 112 communicating with the cylinder.
[0006] 以上示したトリガースプレー XIは、ピストンが水平移動式のものである力 上下移 動式のものも上巿されて!/、る(特許文献 1)。 [0006] The above-described trigger spray XI also has a piston that is horizontally movable, and is also capable of moving up and down with a force vertically movable type (Patent Document 1).
いずれにしろ、このような構造のトリガースプレーは、トリガーに直接指を当てて引き 込み操作を行うものである点で共通してレ、る。  In any case, the trigger spray of such structure is common in that the trigger spray operation is performed by putting a finger directly on the trigger.
しかしトリガー自体は回動して弧状の軌跡を描くことから、それを操作するための指 も同様に弧状に動かす必要があり人間工学的に見て必ずしも好適ではない。  However, since the trigger itself pivots and draws an arc-like locus, it is necessary to move the finger for operating it in an arc-like manner as well, which is not necessarily ergonomically preferable.
まして指やトリガーが濡れている場合等には指とトリガー表面との間に滑りが生じて 力の伝達が悪い。  Furthermore, when the finger or trigger gets wet, slippage occurs between the finger and the trigger surface, resulting in poor transmission of force.
他方、このような構造のトリガースプレーにおいては、キャップから上の部分でトリガ 一以外はカバーに覆われている力 S、下方は開放された状態となっている。  On the other hand, in the trigger spray of such a structure, the force S covered by the cover except the trigger at the upper part from the cap is in the released state at the lower side.
[0007] そのため、トリガースプレーをスプレー用の容器に取り付けた状態では、キャップは 露出し、容器の口部のまわりにはトリガーが翼状に大きく張り出して位置することから 突出した状態となる。 [0007] Therefore, when the trigger spray is attached to the spray container, the cap is exposed, and the trigger is projected from the large overhang of the trigger around the mouth of the container.
このような構造のものでは、トリガーは不用意に他部材に接触し易い。  In such a structure, the trigger is likely to contact other members carelessly.
また、口キャップ 107とトリガー 102との間にもの力挟まり易い。  Also, the force between the mouth cap 107 and the trigger 102 is easily pinched.
[0008] 更に、図 10に示すように、トリガースプレーを握って回動させた場合 (容器の口部付 近を親指と人差し指の間で挟みトリガーを親指以外の指で握る方法)、引き込む距離 が各々の指ごとに異なるので力の伝達効率が悪い。 Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 10, when the trigger spray is held and turned (a method of holding the vicinity of the mouth of the container between the thumb and forefinger and holding the trigger with a finger other than the thumb) Is different for each finger, so the power transmission efficiency is poor.

発明の効果  Effect of the invention
[0024] 本発明のトリガースプレーは、トリガーの回動移動はカム機構により行うものであり、 トリガーとは別体であるスライダーを水平移動することによりトリガーが回動移動するも のである。  In the trigger spray of the present invention, the pivoting movement of the trigger is performed by a cam mechanism, and the trigger is rotationally moved by horizontally moving a slider that is separate from the trigger.

[0025] またトリガーが突出した状態で露出していないので不用意に他から力が加わりにくく 、液漏れ等の危険がない。 In addition, since the trigger is not exposed in the projecting state, it is difficult for the force to be applied inadvertently from others, and there is no danger such as liquid leakage.
更にまた積み上げ等ができ保管し易い。  Furthermore, stacking and the like are possible, and it is easy to store.
ノ、ウジングの切り欠き部に障害板を切り離し可能に設けたので、使用前の不用意な スライダーの動きを防止できて安全である。 発明を実施するための最良の形態 Since the obstacle plate is releasably provided in the cutout of the housing, it is safe because it prevents accidental slider movement before use. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0026] 〔第 1の実施の形態〕 First Embodiment
本発明の原理を、図 1の模式図に示す。  The principle of the present invention is illustrated in the schematic diagram of FIG.
図からわかるように、本発明のトリガースプレー Xは、トリガー 4を回動移動させること により、それに連結されたピストン 2を押して(図では垂直移動させて)図示しない容 器に通じるシリンダー 11内の液体をピストン 2の中を通してノズル口より噴射させる構 造であり、トリガー 4の回動移動はそれとは別体であるスライダー 3を介したカム機構 により行うものである。  As can be seen from the figure, the trigger spray X of the present invention pushes the piston 2 connected thereto by pivoting the trigger 4 (vertically moving in the figure) in the cylinder 11 leading to a container not shown. In this structure, liquid is ejected from the nozzle port through the piston 2, and the rotational movement of the trigger 4 is performed by a cam mechanism via a slider 3 which is separate from it.
[0027] このカム機構は、トリガー 4の自由端力 Sスライダー 3の壁面に接して移動する構造で あり、このことによりトリガー 4が回動し、それに連結されているピストン 2が移動する。  This cam mechanism is structured to move in contact with the wall surface of the free end force S slider 3 of the trigger 4, whereby the trigger 4 is pivoted and the piston 2 connected thereto is moved.
[0028] 以下、本発明のトリガースプレー Xの具体例を挙げて全体構造について説明する。 Hereinafter, the entire structure will be described by giving a specific example of the trigger spray X of the present invention.
図 2は、本発明のトリガースプレー Xが取り付けられた液体容器 Yを示す外観図であ り、図 2 (A)は正面図、図 2 (B)は側面図、また図 2 (C)は平面図を示す。  Fig. 2 is an external view showing the liquid container Y to which the trigger spray X of the present invention is attached, Fig. 2 (A) is a front view, Fig. 2 (B) is a side view, and Fig. 2 (C) is A top view is shown.
[0029] 図 3は、本発明のトリガースプレーの内部構造を説明する図であり、図 3 (A)は正面 図、図 3 (B)は側面視の内部構造を現す断面図、また図 3 (C)は平面視の内部構造 を現す断面図を示す。 FIG. 3 is a view for explaining the internal structure of the trigger spray of the present invention, and FIG. 3 (A) is a front view, FIG. 3 (B) is a sectional view showing the internal structure in a side view, and FIG. (C) shows a cross sectional view showing the internal structure in plan view.
[0030] トリガースプレー Xとしては、ベース体 1、スライダー 3、トリガー 4、ハウジング 5、等の 部品を有する。  The trigger spray X includes parts such as a base body 1, a slider 3, a trigger 4, and a housing 5.
ベース体 1は平面部 14と外周壁 13とよりなる筒蓋状をしており、該外周壁 13は容 器 Yの外面に嵌り込むようになつている。  The base body 1 has a cylindrical lid shape including a flat portion 14 and an outer peripheral wall 13, and the outer peripheral wall 13 is fitted into the outer surface of the container Y.
その平面部 14の中央付近に筒状のシリンダー 11が下方に突出するように形成され ており、一方、中央から外れた位置には、支柱部 16が上方に突出するように形成さ れている。  A cylindrical cylinder 11 is formed in the vicinity of the center of the flat portion 14 so as to project downward, while a column 16 is formed so as to project upward at a position deviated from the center. .
この突出する支柱部 16は、ハウジング 5に形成された受け部 54に装着され安定化 する。  The projecting post 16 is mounted on the receiving portion 54 formed in the housing 5 to be stabilized.
[0031] また平面部 14にはシリンダー 11の周囲から下方に向けて複数の係止片 12が突設 されている。  In addition, a plurality of locking pieces 12 are provided on the flat portion 14 so as to project downward from the periphery of the cylinder 11.
この係止片 12が容器 Yの口部に外側から嵌り込むことで、ベース体 1と容器 Yとは 一体に固定される。 When the locking piece 12 is fitted into the mouth of the container Y from the outside, the base body 1 and the container Y are Fixed together.
図ではネジ込みの例を示したが、一旦、嵌り込むと外れない構造、すなわち、はめ 殺し構造とすることも可能である。  Although an example of screwing is shown in the figure, it is also possible to adopt a structure which does not come off once fitted, ie, a fitted structure.
[0032] シリンダー 11には、第一バルブ VIが配設されており、いわゆる公知の直圧バルブ 構造となっている。 A first valve VI is disposed in the cylinder 11, and has a so-called known direct pressure valve structure.
またベース体 1の平面部 14には後述するスライダー 3を案内するためのスリット 15 が形成されている。  Further, the flat portion 14 of the base body 1 is formed with a slit 15 for guiding a slider 3 described later.
[0033] シリンダー 11内を摺動するピストン 2は、上方に延びた後、前方に直角に曲がって ノズル部 21を形成しており、その先端がノズル口 21Nとなっている。  The piston 2 sliding in the cylinder 11 extends upward and then bends at a right angle to the front to form a nozzle portion 21, the tip of which is a nozzle port 21N.
またノズル部 21の先端にはノズルカバーが開閉自在にヒンジ結合されており、噴射 する際にこのノズルカバーは開かれる。  In addition, a nozzle cover is hinged to an end of the nozzle portion 21 so as to be openable and closable, and the nozzle cover is opened at the time of injection.
シリンダー 11内の液は圧力が加わることでピストン 2の中を通過してノズル口 21Nより 外部に噴射される。  The fluid in the cylinder 11 passes through the piston 2 by the application of pressure and is jetted out of the nozzle port 21N.
[0034] スライダー 3は、 U字状に曲げられた板材よりなり、指当て部 31と突起部 32とを有し 該突起部 32はベース体 1の平面部 14に形成されたスリット 15に装着されている。 そのためスライダー 3は、ベース体 1に沿って安定的に水平移動することができる。 またスライダー 3は後述するハウジングの内壁に接して移動する。  The slider 3 is made of a plate material bent in a U-shape, has a finger rest 31 and a projection 32, and the projection 32 is attached to the slit 15 formed in the flat portion 14 of the base body 1. It is done. Therefore, the slider 3 can move stably along the base body 1 horizontally. Further, the slider 3 moves in contact with the inner wall of the housing described later.
なお、スライダー 3の形状は、垂直な壁面 31Aを有し且つベース体 1に沿って移動 できる形状であれば自由である。  The shape of the slider 3 is free as long as it has a vertical wall surface 31 A and can be moved along the base body 1.
[0035] 図 4は、スライダー 3、ベース体 1、トリガー 4、及びバネ体 Sの取り付け関係を説明す る図である。 FIG. 4 is a view for explaining the mounting relationship of the slider 3, the base body 1, the trigger 4 and the spring body S.
指当て部 31の裏側の垂直の壁面 31Aには、後述するトリガー 4の自由端 41が圧接 しながら移動する(図 5参照)。  The free end 41 of the trigger 4 described later moves while pressing against the vertical wall surface 31A on the back side of the finger rest 31 (see FIG. 5).
[0036] トリガー 4は、くの字状に形成され一方の端がベース体 1に突設された支持柱 16に 回動自在に取り付けられて!/、る。 The trigger 4 is formed in a V-shape, and one end of the trigger 4 is rotatably attached to a support column 16 provided in a projecting manner on the base body 1! /.
そしてトリガー 4の先端部とベース体 1の係止部との間にバネ体 Sが配設されていて、 トリガー 4に復帰力を与える。  A spring body S is disposed between the tip of the trigger 4 and the locking portion of the base body 1 to apply a return force to the trigger 4.
トリガー 4の先端 41 (すなわち自由端 41)は前述したようにスライダー 3の指当て部 31の裏側にある垂直な壁面 31 Aに接して上下移動する。 The tip 41 (ie, the free end 41) of the trigger 4 is the finger rest of the slider 3 as described above Move up and down in contact with the vertical wall 31 A on the back side of 31.
[0037] この場合、垂直な壁面 31Aがカム面となり、他方のトリガー 4の先端 41がホロワ一と なり両者がカム機構として機能する。 In this case, the vertical wall surface 31A is a cam surface, and the tip 41 of the other trigger 4 is a follower, and both function as a cam mechanism.
この場合、トリガー 4の自由端 41は曲面に形成されており、前述の垂直な壁面 31A に対して極力少ない面積で接するので摩擦力が低減される。  In this case, the free end 41 of the trigger 4 is formed in a curved surface, and is in contact with the above-mentioned vertical wall surface 31A with an area as small as possible, so that the frictional force is reduced.
[0038] ハウジング 5は、ベース体 1、シリンダー 11、ピストン 2、スライダー 3、トリガー 4等を 覆うように下方が開口した箱形に形成されている。 The housing 5 is formed in a box shape whose lower part is opened so as to cover the base body 1, the cylinder 11, the piston 2, the slider 3, the trigger 4 and the like.
この場合、上面視では、図のような楕円状の他、矩形状、長円状に形成することも 可能である。  In this case, in top view, in addition to the oval shape as shown in the figure, it is also possible to form a rectangular shape and an oval shape.
またハウジング 5の周囲(トリガースプレー Xの周囲)は、 30cm以内とすることが握り 易さやスライダー 3の操作性の観点から好ましい。  The circumference of the housing 5 (around the trigger spray X) is preferably 30 cm or less from the viewpoint of easy grip and the operability of the slider 3.
[0039] ハウジング 5には、スライダー 3に指を当てトリガースプレー Xを引き込んだ場合、支 障がないように、スライダー 3の指当て部 31の水平移動を許す範囲で切り欠き部 51 が形成されている。 In the housing 5, a notch 51 is formed in a range that allows horizontal movement of the finger rest 31 of the slider 3 so that there is no interference when the finger is brought into contact with the slider 3 and the trigger spray X is drawn in. ing.
すなわち、この切り欠き部 51により引き込み操作中の指を逃がすことができる。  That is, the finger in the pull-in operation can be released by the notch 51.
[0040] またハウジング 5には、切り欠き部 51より上方にはノズル口 21Nを露出するように液 噴射のための通孔 52が形成されている。 Further, a through hole 52 for liquid injection is formed in the housing 5 above the notch 51 so as to expose the nozzle port 21N.
[0041] 更にまた、ハウジング 5には切り欠き部 52の一部を塞ぐように障害板 53が設けられ ている。 Furthermore, an obstacle plate 53 is provided in the housing 5 so as to close a part of the notch 52.
スライダー 3を正面から見て、遮るように障害板 53が存在することで、指等を、直接 、スライダー 3の指当て部に接触できない。  When the obstacle plate 53 exists so as to block the slider 3 as viewed from the front, the finger etc. can not directly contact the finger rest of the slider 3.
この障害板 53の存在によりスライダー 3が不用意に動く危険を避けることができる。 そして障害板 53は薄肉部 53Aを介して切り離し可能になっているので、使い始め の最初にトリガースプレーを使用する場合は、この障害板 53を引っ張って切り離し除 去することが必要である。  The presence of the obstacle plate 53 can prevent the slider 3 from moving inadvertently. And since the obstacle plate 53 is separable through the thin portion 53A, when using the trigger spray at the beginning of use, it is necessary to pull the obstacle plate 53 to separate and remove it.
障害板 53が取り除かれるとスライダー 3の指当て部 31が露出するので指で操作が 可能となるのである。  When the obstacle plate 53 is removed, the finger rest portion 31 of the slider 3 is exposed, so that the operation can be performed with a finger.
[0042] ノ、ウジング 5を装着した状態では、容器本体 Yの周囲と面一となるようになつており、 全体として図 2に示したような上面視で楕円状のシンプルな形となる。 In the condition where the housing 5 is mounted, the container body Y is coplanar with the periphery of the container body Y, As a whole, it has an oval simple shape in top view as shown in Fig.2.
このような形は、外部に突出した部分がないので、他材部に引っ掛けるようなことが ない。  In such a shape, there is no projecting portion to the outside, so there is no possibility of being hooked on other parts.
また、保管しておく場合に、積み上げが可能で効率よく並べることができる。 また先述したようにハウジング 5の天井壁には受け部 54が設けられており、この受け 部 54にベース体の支柱部 16が装着されることでベース体は強固に固定する。  Moreover, when it preserve | saves, stacking is possible and it can line up efficiently. Further, as described above, the ceiling portion of the housing 5 is provided with the receiving portion 54, and the support portion 16 of the base body is attached to the receiving portion 54, thereby firmly fixing the base body.
[0043] さて、このような構造のトリガースプレー Xにおいて、ノズルから容器本体内の液体を 噴射させる手順を次に述べる。 Now, in the trigger spray X having such a structure, the procedure for injecting the liquid in the container body from the nozzle will be described next.
まず、トリガースプレー Xを使用可能な状態にするため、ハウジング 5から障害板 53 を取り外す (図 2参照)。  First, to make trigger spray X usable, remove obstacle plate 53 from housing 5 (see Fig. 2).
そしてノズノレカバー 21Aを開く。  Then open the Noznore Cover 21A.
[0044] この状態では、前方から見ると、全面ハウジング 5に形成された切り欠き部 51からス ライダー 3が露出し、またノズル口 21Nも露出する。 In this state, when viewed from the front, the slider 3 is exposed from the notch 51 formed in the full-surface housing 5 and the nozzle port 21N is also exposed.
[0045] 次にシリンダー 11内に液体が充填されて!/、る状態(初期状態)でトリガースプレー X を握り、スライダー 3の指当て部 31に指を当てて引き込む操作を行う(図 2参照)。 すると、スライダー 3は水平移動を開始し図でいう右方向に移動する。 Next, while the cylinder 11 is filled with liquid, the trigger spray X is gripped in an initial state, and a finger is applied to the finger rest 31 of the slider 3 to pull it in (see FIG. 2). ). Then, the slider 3 starts horizontal movement and moves in the right direction in the figure.
この時、指当て部 31の裏側の垂直な壁面 31Aに接しているトリガー 4の自由端 41 は壁面 31Aに沿って下方に移動する(図 5参照)。  At this time, the free end 41 of the trigger 4 in contact with the vertical wall 31A on the back side of the finger rest 31 moves downward along the wall 31A (see FIG. 5).
[0046] 図 5は、スライダー 3の指当て部 31とトリガー 4との関係を説明する図である。 FIG. 5 is a view for explaining the relationship between the finger touch unit 31 of the slider 3 and the trigger 4.
スライダー 3が水平移動するとトリガー 4は回動移動する [図 5の(I)→ (II)→ (III) ]。 すなわち、カム機構 [指当て部 31の裏側の垂直な壁面 31Aがカム面となり、トリガ 一 4の先端 41 (すなわち自由端)は、ホロヮーとなる]によりスライダー 3からトリガー 4 に力が伝達され水平移動から垂直移動に変わる。  When the slider 3 moves horizontally, the trigger 4 rotates [Fig. 5 (I)-> (II)-> (III)]. That is, a force is transmitted from the slider 3 to the trigger 4 by the cam mechanism [the vertical wall 31A on the back of the finger rest 31 becomes the cam surface and the tip 41 of the trigger 14 (ie, the free end) becomes the hollow]. Change from movement to vertical movement.
[0047] ここでトリガー 4の先端 41がスライダー 3の壁面 31Aに沿って移動する際の移動は 、相対的に下方移動である力 絶対的にはトリガー 4の先端 41は回動運動を行い、 その先端の軌跡は弧状となる。 Here, the movement when the tip 41 of the trigger 4 moves along the wall surface 31A of the slider 3 is a relative downward movement. The tip 41 of the trigger 4 performs a pivoting motion absolutely The trajectory of the tip is arc-shaped.
[0048] このように、本発明における指の動きは、スライダー 3の動きと同じ直線となるため、 極めて操作が単純であり且つ楽である。 従来のトリガースプレー XIのように、トリガーに合わせて同じ様に弧状に動かす必 要がない。 As described above, the movement of the finger in the present invention is the same straight line as the movement of the slider 3, so that the operation is extremely simple and easy. As with the conventional trigger spray XI, there is no need to move it in the same way in accordance with the trigger.
指がスライダー 3を真っ直ぐに押すので、指やトリガー 4が濡れている場合にも指と スライダー表面との間に滑りは全く生じなぐ力の伝達が極めて効率的である。  Since the finger pushes the slider 3 straight, even when the finger or the trigger 4 is wet, it is extremely efficient to transmit force without any slippage between the finger and the slider surface.
スライダー 3の動きによりトリガー 4は回動され、ピストン 2が押し下げられてシリンダ 一 11内にある液体は圧縮される。  The movement of the slider 3 causes the trigger 4 to rotate and the piston 2 to be depressed to compress the liquid in the cylinder 11.
[0049] 図 6は、トリガー 4を引き込んだ後のトリガースプレー Xの構造を説明する図であり、 図 6 (A)は正面図、図 6 (B)は側面視の内部構造を現す断面図、また図 6 (C)は平面 視の内部構造を現す断面図を示す。 FIG. 6 is a view for explaining the structure of the trigger spray X after retracting the trigger 4, FIG. 6 (A) is a front view, and FIG. 6 (B) is a sectional view showing the internal structure in a side view. Fig. 6 (C) shows a cross-sectional view showing the internal structure in plan view.
シリンダー内で圧縮された液体は、ピストン 2の中を通りノズル部 21のノズル口 21N 力、ら外に噴射される。  The liquid compressed in the cylinder passes through the piston 2 and is jetted out of the nozzle port 21 N of the nozzle portion 21.
[0050] 液噴射が終わった後、スライダー 3から指を放して押圧力を開放すると、トリガーの 先端部付近とベース体 1との間に介在しているパネ体 Sの復帰力によりトリガー 4は元 の状態に戻ることになる。  After the liquid injection is completed, when the finger is released from the slider 3 to release the pressing force, the trigger 4 is released by the return force of the panel S interposed between the vicinity of the tip of the trigger and the base body 1. It will return to its original state.
この場合、スライダー 3 (通常、プラスチック製)の幅力 ハウジング 5の内壁により縮 められており、スライダー 3が元の位置に戻る際に同時に復帰力として作用する。  In this case, it is compressed by the inner wall of the width force housing 5 of the slider 3 (usually made of plastic), and simultaneously acts as a return force when the slider 3 returns to its original position.
[0051] この時、ピストン 2の上昇によりシリンダー 11内は、負圧となり容器本体 Y内の液体 はチューブを通って吸い上げられてシリンダー 11内に充填される(初期状態と同じ状 態)。 At this time, as the piston 2 moves up, the pressure in the cylinder 11 becomes negative due to the rise of the piston 2, and the liquid in the container body Y is sucked up through the tube and filled in the cylinder 11 (the same state as the initial state).
[0052] 次に、本発明のトリガースプレー Xの掴み方の例を述べる。  Next, an example of how to grip the trigger spray X of the present invention will be described.
まず、トリガースプレー Xのスライダー 3を、吹き付けの対象物に向けた状態で把持 する。  First, the slider 3 of the trigger spray X is gripped in the state of being directed to the target of spraying.
具体的には、図 2に鎖泉で示したように、ハウジング 5の切り欠き部 51から露出して いるスライダー 3 (詳しくは指当て部 31)に人差し指や中指を当てた状態でトリガース プレー Xと容器本体 Yとを同時に握る。  Specifically, as shown by a chain spring in FIG. 2, when the forefinger or the middle finger is placed on the slider 3 (specifically, the finger rest 31) exposed from the notch 51 of the housing 5, the trigger spray X And container body Y at the same time.
[0053] この時、トリガースプレー Xと容器本体 Yの表面に凹凸が形成されていると指が滑ら なぐ確実に把持することができる。 At this time, if asperities are formed on the surfaces of the trigger spray X and the container body Y, the finger can be gripped reliably without slipping.
また、トリガースプレー Xの周囲(詳しくはハウジング 5の周囲)は、前述したように 30 cm以内であるので、人が握るのに握り易い。 Also, the periphery of the trigger spray X (specifically, the periphery of the housing 5) is 30 as described above. Because it is within cm, it is easy for people to grasp.
[0054] 〔他の実施の形態〕 Other Embodiments
図 7は、別のトリガースプレーの実施態様例を示した図であり、図 7 (A)は正面図、 図 7 (B)は側面図、また図 7 (C)は平面図を示す。  Fig. 7 is a view showing another embodiment of the trigger spray, Fig. 7 (A) is a front view, Fig. 7 (B) is a side view, and Fig. 7 (C) is a plan view.
この実施の形態は、ハウジング 5の後部に手を支えるための支持部 55を備えたもの である。  In this embodiment, a support portion 55 for supporting a hand at the rear of the housing 5 is provided.
この支持部 55はトリガースプレー Xを指で握った場合(二点鎖線の手参照)、親指と 人差し指の間に接して、トリガースプレー Xの重量を支える役割を果たす。  The support 55 serves to support the weight of the trigger spray X in contact with the thumb and the index finger when the trigger spray X is held by a finger (see the two-dot chain line hand).
また、その外面は曲線状を呈して!/、ることが好まし!/、。  Also, its outer surface is curvilinear! /, It is preferred!
[0055] 以上、本発明を説明してきたが、本発明は実施形態にのみ限定されるものではなく 、その本質から逸脱しない範囲で、他の色々な変形例が可能である。 The present invention has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiment, and various other modifications are possible without departing from the essence of the present invention.
トリガースプレー Xを構成する各部品の形状は、実施の形態に限らず、本発明のトリ ガースプレー Xの機能を達成できるものである限りその変形は自由に可能である。  The shape of each component constituting the trigger spray X is not limited to the embodiment, and any modification is possible as long as the function of the trigger spray X of the present invention can be achieved.
[0056] 例えば、カム機構において、指当て部 31の裏側の壁面 31A (カム面)に対するトリ ガー 4の自由端 41 (ホロワ一)は、スライダーの壁面 31Aにトリガー 4の自由端 41が摺 接し移動できれば良い。 For example, in the cam mechanism, the free end 41 (follower) of the trigger 4 with respect to the wall surface 31A (cam surface) on the back side of the finger rest 31 slides the free end 41 of the trigger 4 to the wall surface 31A of the slider. I wish I could move it.
[0057] また、このハウジング 5は、シリンダー 11、ベース体 1、スライダー 3、トリガー 4、バネ 体 S等を覆うように下方が開口した上方視で楕円形の箱状に形成されているが、上 方視で矩形の箱状に形成しても良い。 Further, the housing 5 is formed in an oval box shape in the upper view, in which the lower side is opened so as to cover the cylinder 11, the base body 1, the slider 3, the trigger 4, the spring body S, etc. It may be formed in a rectangular box shape in an upward view.
またバネ体 Sは、コイルバネでも良ぐ要はトリガーに復帰力を与えるものであれば 採用可能である。  In addition, the spring body S may be a coil spring, and it is possible to adopt it as long as it provides a return force to the trigger.
当然、シリンダー 11内に設けたバネ体 Sでも良!/ヽ。  Naturally, the spring body S provided in the cylinder 11 is also good! / ヽ.
[0058] 更にパネ体は、トリガー 4と一体化すると部品数が少なくなる利点がある。 Furthermore, when the panel body is integrated with the trigger 4, there is an advantage that the number of parts is reduced.
実施の形態では、スライダー 3の突起部 32がベース体 1のスリット 15に装着され移 動する例で示したが、スライダー 3のベース体に対する当接面に底面壁を設けて該 底面壁にスリットを形成し、ベース体に設けた突起がそのスリットに嵌る構造としても 良ぐ要はスライダー 3がベース体 1に沿って移動できる構造であれば採用可能であ またベース体 1に突設された係止片 12を容器の口部に螺合により取り付けるように しても良い。 In the embodiment, the protrusion 32 of the slider 3 is attached to the slit 15 of the base body 1 and moved, but the bottom wall is provided on the contact surface of the slider 3 against the base body and the slit is formed on the bottom wall. It is also possible to adopt a structure that allows the slider 3 to move along the base body 1 as a structure in which the projections provided on the base body fit into the slits. Further, the locking pieces 12 provided to project from the base body 1 may be screwed to the mouth of the container.
