TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to a device for spraying chemicals to spray aerosol
contents containing a chemical or the like that prevents noxious organisms.
BACKGROUND ART
[0002] Conventionally, aerosol bombs are given to spray contents containing a chemical or
the like that prevents noxious organisms such as noxious insects, mold, etc. In order
to prevent, for example, noxious insects swarming on vegetation, horticultural aerosol
bombs are known to spray a chemical toward noxious insects.
[0003] With such horticultural aerosol bombs, contents are sprayed on vegetation, on which
noxious insects swarm, from a nozzle upon depression of a push button on a top of
a can, but their ranges are short and their coverages are restricted to a narrow range,
30 that there is involved a problem that the contents are concentrated locally on
vegetation to cause a chilling injury.
[0004] Therefore, in order to prevent a chilling injury, it is necessary to reduce a spray
quantity and to repeatedly spray little by little, which causes a disadvantage to
require labor.
[0005] On the other hand, there are sprayers to spray a large amount of contents over a
wide range at a time. In order to prevent, for example, noxious injects living mainly
on floor surfaces such as tatami mat, carpet, mat, etc., there is known a device provided
with a rotating head, which includes a spray nozzle directed radially and rotates
horizontally on a floor, to spray contends radially widely (see Patent Document 1).
[0006] However, with the device described in Patent Document 1, a sprayer is placed on a
floor and is restricted to indoor use for radially wide spraying but no chilling injury
to vegetation is taken account of and the device is not suited to application on outdoor
vegetation and is different from an aerosol bomb for portable use.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
[0007] It is an object of the invention to provide a device for spraying chemicals capable
of divergently spraying a large amount of aerosol contents containing chemical or
the like over a wide range at a time and besides causing no chilling injury to vegetation.
[0008] In order to attain the above object, according to the invention, aerosol contents
sprayed from a nozzle stem at a top of an aerosol can by pushing a push button are
not sprayed as they are but once red laterally through a connection passage connected
to the nozzle stem, a rotating nozzle is provided at a tip end of the passage, the
nozzle is caused to rotate by a reaction force of spray from the nozzle, and arm orifices
are formed in directions, in which the aerosol contents are sprayed forwardly of a
rotating plane. Here, spraying forwardly of the rotating plane means spraying forwardly
of a plane perpendicular to a center line of rotation of the nozzles.
[0009] Such device for spraying chemicals comprises a hollow support having a connection
passage in communication to a nozzle stem at a top of an aerosol vessel and arranged
laterally relative to the aerosol vessel, a rotating nozzle rotatably supported at
a tip end of the support and having a connection passage in communication to the passage
of the support, and means to actuate the nozzle stem.
[0010] A further embodiment of the invention comprises a connection pipe mounted at a top
of an aerosol vessel and having a connection passage in communication to a nozzle
stem of the aerosol vessel to have an outlet directed laterally relative to the aerosol
vessel, a hollow support having a connection passage connected to the outlet of the
connection pipe to extend substantially perpendicular to an axis of the aerosol vessel,
at least one arm having a connection passage in communication to the passage of the
support and supported on the support to be rotatable about an axis thereof, and means
to actuate the nozzle stem.
[0011] Further, with the device for splaying chemicals according to invention, a pair of
the arms can be presided to be symmetrical about the support, and the connection pipe
and the support can be connected together through a substantially stiff pipe.
[0012] For example, a part of a tip end surface of the arm is formed to define a slope of
a predetermined angle, and an arm orifice is formed perpendicular to the slope to
be usable for an arm orifice or the nozzle or the device according to invention. In
this case, a line of intersection of a plane, which is perpendicular to a plane including
a center line of retation of the arm and an axis of the arm and in parallel to the
center line of rotation of the arm, and the slope preferably has an angle (referred
below to as slope angle) of at least 15° out less than 90° relative to a plane perpendicular
to the center line of relation of the arm, and besides the slope angle is more preferably
in the range of at least 70° but less than 90°.
[0013] Also, in order to achieve spray in an extensive and divergent configuration in the
device according to invention, an angle formed between a center line of spray, along
which aerosol contents are sprayed, and a plane perpendicular to a center line of
rotation of the arm is preferably larger than 0° but not larger than 45°.
[0014] According to invention, it is possible to provide a device for spraying chemicals
capable of spraying a large amount of aerosol contents over a wide range at a time
and besides causing no chilling injury to vegetation.
[0015] Further, the device for spraying chemicals according to invention can be used to
prevent noxious insects, such as flea, louse, etc., parasitic on human, animals, or
the like, in which case a reeling of cold is less and not prolonged. Further, wetting
is less when applied to a cushion and cloth products.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0017] Fig. 1 is a side view showing an outward appearance of a portable type device according
to a preferred embodiment of the invention, and the reference numeral 1 denotes an
aerosol can charged with aerosol contents (referred below to as contents) composed
of an undiluted solution, such as ethanol, etc., in which a chemical is dissolved,
and a propellant such as liquefied gas, etc., and 2 denotes a nozzle stem provided
at a top of the aerosol can to permit a chemical component of the contents to be sprayed
with an appropriate particle size when being pushed down in an axial direction of
the aerosol can. Here, the particle size indicates an average particle size obtained
under the following condition, and preferably ranges from 15 to 50 µm.
[0018] The average particle size is measured by a particle size distribution measuring device,
to mean D50 (cumulative 50 %) analyzed by an automatic computing processing unit.
Concretely, a specimen is sprayed from a position, in which a distance between the
laser beam irradiated on a radiation receiving portion of the particle size distribution
measuring device from a laser-radiation emitting portion thereof and a spray port
of a specimen amounts to about 50 cm, in such a manner that a sprayed substance passes
the laser beam perpendicularly. The average particle size is obtained by making measurement
during the spray and analyzing the particle size distribution of the sprayed substance
with the use of the automatic computing processing unit.
[0019] A cap 3 is fitted onto an upper end of the aerosol can to surround a space, into
which the nozzle stem 2 projects, and the cap mounts therein an operating lever 5
having a push button 5 including an inlet hole 1 fitted onto a tip end of the nozzle
stem and a rear end molded integrally with the push button to extend rearward from
the cap. The operating lever 6 is supported by a pair of opposed projections, of which
tip ends are integrally molded in the cap, to swing with the projections as a fulcrum.
[0020] The push button 5 is forced with a passage 7, which includes an inlet aligned with
the nozzle hole of the nozzle stem 2, the passage being bent at a right angle to connect
to a passage of a connection pipe 8. Consequently, the inlet hole 4 or the push button
5 and a passage outlet of the connection pipe 8 form a right angle therebetween. In
the figure, the reference numeral 9 denotes a grip formed integral with the cap 3.
[0021] The reference numeral 10 denotes a rotating nozzle to constitute an essential part
of the invention. As shown in enlarged scale in Fig. 2, the rotating nozzle 10 comprises
a hollow support 12 having therein an axial passage 11, and a pail of cylindrical-shaped
arms 13 supported at a tip end of the support to be rotatable in a vertical plane,
and passages 14 are formed in communication to the passage 11 in the support and closed
at tip ends thereof. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the arms, 13 may be mounted in a manner
to incline somewhat forward relative to a direction perpendicular to rhe support 12.
The connection pipe 8 and the support 12 are connected together by a hard pipe 15
of a suitable length, and the passage of the connection pipe 8 is communicated through
a passage of the pipe 15 to the passage 11 in the support 12. The support 12, the
connection pipe 8, and the pipe 15 are suitably formed from a resin, such as polyacetal,
polyethylene, polypropylene etc., and a metal such is brass stainless steel, etc.
[0022] The support 32 preferably has a length of 1 to 10 cm. an inside diameter of 1 to
5 mm, and a peripheral wall thickness of 0.5 to 2 mm.
[0023] The pipe 15 preferably has a length of 3 to 30 cm and an inside diameter of 0.8 to
3 mm.
[0024] As shown in Fig. 4, the arms 13 have a substantially circular tip end surface, a
part of which defines a flat slope 16, and an arm orifice 17 is formed perpendicular
to the slope 16 and in communication with the passage 14 in the arm. The slope is
set to have a predetermined angle relative to the axis of the arm, and a boundary
line 18 between the tip end surface of the arm and the slope is set to have an angle
other than a right angle relative to an axis 19 of the support 12. Thus the contents
sprayed from the arm orifice 17 have a component directed forward relative to the
arm in a direction of rotation and are sprayed forward and obliquely outward, so the
arm sprays the contents outward forwardly of the rotating plane of the arm while rotating
in a direction indicated by an arrow A in Fig. 5. A favorable sense of use (sound
of rotation) is obtained when the number of rotations of the nozzle is 10000 rpm or
higher.
[0025] An angle of the slope will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Let assume a plane
C including a center line 19 of rotation of the arms and an axis 20 of the arms and
let assume a plane D perpendicular to the plane D and in parallel to the center line
19 of rotation of the arms. An angle α, which a line 22 of intersection of the slope
and the plane D forms relative to a plane B perpendicular to the center line 19 of
rotation of the arms, is a slope angle. In the embodiment, shown in Fig. 4, the line
22 of Intersection of the slope and the plane D corresponds to the boundary line 18.
According to experimental results, the slope angle is preferable in the range of 15°
or more but less than 90°, more preferable in the range of 70° or more but less than
90°, and most preferably 86°. With the slope angle of less than 15°, spray becomes
linear and does not spread adequately, and with the slope angle of 90°, spray around
the Locating plane of the arm is sufficient but forward spray is insufficient.
[0026] Let assume a center line 21 of spray emitted from the arm orifice 17. The center
line 21 of spray passes a center of the arm orifice 17 and is in parallel to a direction,
in which most of the contents is sprayed from the arm orifice 17. Like the embodiment
shown in Fig. 4, an the case where the aim orifice is formed perpendicular to the
slope, the center line 21 of spray defines a line parsing the center of the arm orifice
and being perpendicular to the slope. In order to achieve an extensive and divergent
spray with the nozzle of the device of the invention, an angle β formed between the
center line of spray, along which the aerosol contents are sprayed, and a plane perpendicular
to the center line of rotation of the arms is preferably larger than 0° but equal
to 45° or less.
[0027] In explaining the action of the invention, in an unused state, the weight of the
rotating nozzle 10 mounted to the tip end of the connection pipe 9 lifts a real end
of the operating lever 6, the nozzle stem 3 projects upward, and the aerosol contents
are put in a stare of being sealed in the can. When the grip 9 is grasped and the
rear end of the operating lever 6 is pushed down, the inlet hole 7 of the push button
5 pushes the nozzle stem 2 to allow the contents of the aerosol can to stream into
the passage 7 of the push button 5. The streamed contents are fed to the rotating
nozzle 10 and sprayed in front of the rotating nozzle from the arm orifice 17 at tip
ends of the arms 18 as described above. According to the invention, since the contents
sprayed upon the operation of the push button with the operating level 6 are augmented
in spray forces by the colation of the arms 13 to teach a distant location in an extensive
area, the contents scattered per unit area of vegetation are reduced in quantity and
a distance to vegetation is long, so that the contents sprayed in a low temperature
state are raised in temperature and the propellant mixed in the contents is liable
to vaporize, thus enabling suppressing a chilling injury to vegetation. Also, since
the contents are splayed extensively, it is possible to efficiently exterminate noxious
insects.
[0028] Since the connection pipe 8 and the support 12 of the rotating nozzle 10 are connected
together through the elongated pipe 15, the device of the Invention described above
has the advantage of pushing the rotating nozzle 10 into bush of vegetation to be
able to spray the chemical on noxious insects present therein. In the case where there
is no need therefor, the invention can be embodied even when the pipe 15 is omitted
and the connection pipe 8 and the rotating nozzle support 12 are connected directly
to each other. Also, while the rotating nozzle making use of the poil of arms 13 has
been described, the invention can apparently be embodied even with the number of arms
being three or more.
[0029] In addition, the invention can use, as a chemical, one kind or two kinds or men of
pyrethroid compounds such as natural pyrethrin, prallethrin, imiprothrin, phthalthrin,
allethrin, transfluthrin, resmethrin, phenothrin, cyphenothrin, d, d-T99-cyphenothrin,

such as thymol, thiophroteat-methyl, tetrachloro-isophthalonitrile, triforine, imibenconazole,
thiophanate-methyl, or the like; deodorizer such as polyphenol, cyclodextrin, or the
like.
[0030] It is possible to use, as the propellant, one kind or two kinds or more of compressed
gases such as nitrogen gas, compressed air, carbon dioxide, etc., hydrofluorocarbon,
such as HFC-152a, HFC-134a, etc., liquefied gas such as dimethyl ether, etc., liquefied
petroleum gas such as propane, butane, isobutane, etc., pentane such as normal pentane,
isopentane, cyclopentane, etc., and the like.
[0031] Also, it is possible to use, as a solvent for the undiluted solution, one kind or
two kinds or more of water, isopropanol, n-propanol, kerosene (first numbered terosene),
isopentane, 2, 3-dihydrodecafluoropentane, etc. Further, various surface active agents,
stabilizing agents, flavors, pigments, etc. may be used at need.
Experimental example 1
[0032] An experiment was carried out to make a comparison of reduced temperature between
a conventional aerosol bomb (comparative product) with an ordinary spray orifice,
for which an ordinary push button was used, and an aerosol bomb (a product of the
invention) with a device, in which the rotating nozzle (a nozzle, having an slope
angle of 60° was used) of the invention was used, and results are as follows.
[0033] Isopropyl alcohol (undiluted solution) and (as propellent) were charged into respective
aerosol cans to provide for aerosol agents (the ratio of undiluted solution/gas was
30/70 vol %), the aerosol agents were sprayed from a predetermined distance away toward
a thermometer for three seconds with a spray quantity of about 3 g, and temperature
reduction was measured, from which results indicated an TABLE 1 were obtained.

[0034] Likewise, it was confirmed whether any chilling injury was caused when the respective
aerosol agents of about 3 g were sprayed from a predetermined distance away on leaves
of a chrysanthemum seedling for three seconds, from which results indicated in TABLE

[0035] In addition, a spray width of contents in a position distant 40 cm from the spray
nozzle was 13 cm for the conventional ordinary splay orifice, and 20 cm in the use
of the rotating nozzle of the invention. In this experiment, particles sprayed from
the rotating nozzle had an average particle size of 25 µm. This value was small as
compared with the conventional ordinary spray orifice. In addition, the average particle
size was an average value of three measurements.
[0036] The experimental results apparently indicate that the rotating nozzle of the invention
is remarkably improved in terms of temperature reduction of aerosol contents, which
reached an object, as compared with the conventional aerosol bomb with the ordinary
spray orifice, and produces the effect of suppression of a chilling injury to vegetation.
Further, it is found that the spray distance was maintained and the spray width in
a position distant 40 cm was enlarged. In addition, no chilling injury was suffered
when the rotating nozzles having slope angles of 15° and 30° wore used likewise to
confirm any chilling injury. Experimental example 2
[0037] In order to examine influences of a slope angle on a spraying state, a spray experiment
was carried out by preparing a conventional aerosol bomb with an ordinary spray edifice,
for which an ordinary push button was used, and an aerosol bomb with a device, in
which rotating nozzles were provided to nave slope angles of 27°, 63°, 71°, 86° and
90°, respectively. Like the experiment described in Example of experiment 1, isopropyl
alcohol (undiluted solution) and LFG (propellant) were charged into respective aerosol
cans to provide for aerosol agents (the ratio of undilated solution/gas was 30/70
vol %), and a spray configuration observed with a black paper in a background was
examined from the side and the back. Spray with the ordinary spray orifice was given
linearly forward and extended small such that its extent was in the order of several
cm when spray was observed from the back. With the nozzle of the invention having
a slope angle of 27°, spray assumed an extensive and divergent configuration and mist
had an extent when observed from the back. With the slope angle further increased,
spray was further extended and spray was increased in a circumferential direction
of rotation. With the slope angles of 71° and 86°, an extent of several tens cm appeared.
With the slope angle of 90°, however, spray in the circumferential direction predominated
and spray was not directed forward.
[0038] Subsequently, these aerosol bomb were used and sprayed on actual vegetation. In the
case where grass clustered as group planting such as plantets or the like, spray was
linear and so only local spray was possible with the conventional aerosol bomb while
the chemical could be sprayed widely with the nozzle of the invention, especially
with the nozzle of the invention having the slope angles of 71° and 86°. It was found
that with the nozzle of the indention having the slope angle of 86°, the chemical
could be sprayed particularly widely while with the nozzle of the invention having
the slope angle of 71°, the chemical reached deep in vegetation.
[0039] Also, using a rose tree as an example of a garden tree, the nozzle was entered into
the bush thereof and the chemical was sprayed thereon. While the chemical did not
adhere to back sides of leaves because spray was linear with the ordinary spray orifice,
the chemical went round to adhere to back sides of leaves with the nozzle of the invention
having the slope angles of 71° and 86°. It was found that with the nozzle of the invention
having the slope angle of 86°, the chemical could be sprayed particularly widely while
with the nozzle of the invention having the slope angle of 71°, the chemical reached
deep in vegetation. Experimental example 3
[0040] The nozzle of the invention having the slope angle of 86° was used to examine a sense
of use, ease of handling, amount of adhered chemical, and the number of rotations
of the nozzle according to changes in spray quantity and the ratio of undiluted solution/gas.
Experimental results are indicated in TABLE 3. The spray quantity was 16 g/10 seconds
for a specimen A and a specimen B while it was 10 g/10 seconds for a specimen C and
specimen D. The ratio of undiluted solution/gas (vol %) was 30/70 for the specimen
A and the specimen C while it was 50/50 for the specimen B and the specimen D. The
sense of use was obtained by averaging results of evaluation by 17 monitor examinees,
in which evaluation 5 was assumed when a feeling for sound of rotation was very good,
4 when being good, 3 when ordinary, 2 when somewhat bad, and 1 when bad. The ease
of handling represents an average of results of evaluation by 17 monitor examinees,
in which evaluation 1 to 5 were assumed in the same manner as described above. The
amount of adhered chemical represents an average value of amounts of a chemical adhered
to a paper filter having a diameter of 30 cm in three spraying actions in the case
where the chemical (a chemical composed of permethrin, ethanol, and a propellant)
containing 0.2 % of permethrin was sprayed at an angle of 45° against the paper filter
from a distance of 30 cm away for 10 seconds. The number of rotations was measured
by means of a pocket revolution indicator (manufactured by Yokogawa M & C Ltd.). A
reflective tape (aluminum tape sticking thereto a double tape) was stuck to one side
of the arm, and the number of rotations of the nozzle was measured by having a photoelectric
probe of the revolution indicator approaching the rotating arm portion while spraying
the aerosol agent.
[0041] As a result, in case of the ratio of undiluted solution/gas being 50/50, a favorable
evaluation was obtained with respect to the sense or use and the ease of handling
when the spray quantity was both 16 g and 10 g, and a larger amount of adhered chemical
was obtained than that with the case where the ratio of undiluted solution/gas was
30/70. The number of rotations of the nozzle became 20000 rpm or more when the spray
quantity was 16 g (the specimen A and the specimen B1.
