[Field of the invention]
[0001] The present invention relates to an aerosol container for multiple contents discharge,
a multiple contents discharge aerosol product, and an inner container used therefor.
[Description of Background Art]
[0002] An aerosol container is a container for charging a content and a propellant in a
pressure-resistant container and discharging the content by the pressure of the propellant.
As such an aerosol container, a container which independently houses plural different
contents and which independently and simultaneously discharges plural different contents
is known. However, even if the plural different contents are housed in separate inner
containers, if the inner containers are made of synthetic resin, the contents may
penetrate the inner container and may be mixed depending on the contents. Particularly,
when two different contents are reactive agents which react with each other such as
a hair dye, there is a problem that the effectiveness of the product may be lost by
mutually mixing the contents.
[0003] Hence, aerosol containers equipped with an inner bag using a laminated sheet having
at least a metal foil layer are cited.
In Patent Document 1, a double aerosol container is disclosed, which comprises an
outer container and two inner bags houfsed therein, and different contents are being
housed in each inner bag. Moreover, the inner bag formed by mutually overlapping the
laminate sheets and bonding right and left both edge portions and upper and lower
end portions by a heat seal is disclosed.
In Figure 4 of Patent Document 2, a partial cross sectional shape is disclosed, which
is equipped with a first pouch in which a first content is charged, a second pouch
in which a second content is charged, being housed in the first pouch, a first flow
path which communicates the first pouch and outside, a second flow path which communicates
a second pouch and outside, and a valve which communicates with the first flow path
and the second flow path.

[Problems to be solved]
[0005] However, in the case that a plurality of inner bags is housed in an outer container,
and a propellant is charged between the outer container and the inner bag as shown
in Patent Document 1, two inner bags must be inserted from the circular opening of
the outer container, the process thereof tends to become cumbersome.
Meanwhile, in Patent Document 2, since the second pouch (first space) is housed in
the first pouch (second space), it only needs to insert the first pouch from the opening
of the outer container substantially, the process thereof becomes easy. However, after
charging contents in each pouch, the second pouch becomes in the state that the second
pouch is immersed in the content of the first pouch, and it is found that the second
pouch tends to be deteriorated by the content of the first pouch.
The present invention is directed to provide an inner container formed of a laminated

laminated sheets where the metal foil layer is smaller than the synthetic resin layer,
and the edge portion of the metal foil layer is arranged in the interior of the bonded
portion of the synthetic resin layer.
The edge face of the metal foil layer of the laminated sheet forming the inner container
of the present invention is preferable to protrude outward from the intermediate container.
In any of the aerosol container for multiple contents discharge, the communication
/ shutoff between the first space and outside, and the communication / shutoff between
the second space and outside can be operated simultaneously by opening and closing
of one valve.
The valve performing the communication / shutoff between the first space and outside,
and the valve performing the communication / shutoff between the second space and
outside may be different.
[0008] The aerosol product for multiple contents discharge of the present invention is characterized
in that it comprises the aerosol container for multiple contents discharge, a first
content charged in the first space, a second content charged in the second space,
and a propellant charged in the first space and /or in the second space.

The third aspect of the aerosol product for multiple contents discharge of the present
invention is characterized in that it comprises the aerosol container for multiple
contents discharge having the intermediate container, a first content charged in the
first space, a second content and a propellant charged in the second space, and a
gas existing in the third space.
[0009] The inner container of the present invention is characterized in that it is used
in an aerosol container housing independently a plurality of contents, and it directly
separates at least two contents. It is formed by overlapping or folding one or more
than two flexible laminated sheets having a metal foil layer and a synthetic resin
layer so as to make the synthetic resin layer become an outer surface, and mutually
bonding the peripheral edge thereof, and in which a protecting means is provided in

[0010] The second aspect of the inner container of the present invention is characterized
in that it is used in an aerosol container housing independently a plurality of contents,
separating directly at least two contents. It is formed by folding one or more than
two flexible laminated sheets having a metal foil layer and a synthetic resin layer
so as to make the edge face of the laminated sheet face inward, overlapping or folding
the folded laminated sheet so as to make the synthetic resin layer become an outer
surface, and mutually bonding the peripheral edge of the laminated sheets.
[Effect of the Invention]
[0011] In the aerosol container for multiple contents discharge of the present invention,
the inner container in the second space is formed of one or more than two flexible
laminated sheets having a metal foil layer and a synthetic resin layer, and formed
by overlapping or folding the laminated sheets so as to make the synthetic resin layer
face outward, and mutually bonding a peripheral edge of the laminated sheets, hence
the metal foil layer is hard to become corroded by the second content housed in the
second space, and its durability is high. Moreover, since the inner container is composed
by the laminated sheet having the metal foil layer, even if two sorts of content is
charged in the aerosol container, the permeation of the contents to the both of the
first space and the second space can be prevented, the contents can be stably stored.
[0012] In the aerosol container for multiple contents discharge of the present invention,
in the case that an intermediate container inserted into the interior of the outer
container and which the inner container is inserted is further equipped, the second
space being formed by the intermediate container, and a third space independent from
the first space and the second space being formed between the intermediate container
and the outer container, the three independents spaces in the pressure resistant container
can be arbitrarily filled with any contents or propellant, according to the sort of
the content and the propellant.
[0013] In the case that the protecting means is provided in the edge face of the laminated
sheet, the metal foil layer of the laminated sheets can be covered securely.
In the case that the inner container is formed of the laminated sheets whose edge
face is folded inward, and formed by overlapping or folding the laminated sheets,
and mutually bonding the peripheral edge of the laminated sheets, the edge face of
the metal foil layer of the laminated sheet do not exposes to the outer face of the
inner container.
In the case that the inner container is formed of the laminated sheet or laminated
sheets, in which the metal foil layer is smaller than the synthetic resin layer and
the edge portion of the metal foil layer is arranged in a bonded portion of the synthetic
resin layer, the edge face of the metal foil layer of the laminated sheet do not exposes
to the second space.
In the case that the edge face of the laminated sheet protrudes outward than the intermediate
container, since the edge face protrudes to the outside of the intermediate container,
corrosion of the edge face of the metal foil layer by the content housed in the intermediate
container (second space) can be prevented.
In any of the aerosol container for multiple contents discharge, in the case that
the communication / shutoff between the first space and outside, and the communication
/ shutoff between the second space and outside are operated simultaneously by opening
and closing of one valve, it is possible to switch the discharge / stop of two contentss
by one time operation. Moreover, the insertion of the inner container into the outer
container and the attachment of the valve are easy. Furthermore, the path in a discharge
member can be shortened, making it possible to reduce a residue in the path after
discharge.
On the other hand, in the case that the valve performing the communication / shutoff
between the first space and outside, and the valve performing the communication /
shutoff between the second space and outside are different, each valve is sufficient
to be of a simple configuration used for one contents discharge. The contents can
be charged from each valve, making the manufacture easy. Moreover, if a discharge
member which performs the opening and closing operation of the two valves simultaneously
is equipped, it is possible to switch the discharge / stop of the two liquids by one
time of operation, and if a discharge member which operates independently is equipped
in the two valves, it is possible to discharge individually.
[0014] The aerosol product for multiple contents discharge of the present invention comprises
a first content charged in the first space, a second content charged in the second
space, and a propellant charged in the first space and / or the second space, hence
a plurality of liquids, at least two liquids can be stably stored. Moreover, since
the first content and / or the second content and the propellant can be discharged
simultaneously, the discharge condition of the content can be changed such as, foam
and cream, foam and gel.
The second embodiment of the aerosol product for multiple contents discharge comprises
a first content charged in the first space, a second content charged in the second
space, and a propellant charged in the third space, hence a plurality of contentss
can be stored stably.
The aerosol container for multiple contents discharge equipped with the intermediate
container comprises a first content charged in the first space, a second content and
a propellant charged in the second space, and a gas existing in the third space, since
the gas exists between the intermediate container and the outer container, when the
outer container is a metal can, the outer container can be further protected.
[0015] The inner container of the present invention for inserting into the aerosol container
in which a plurality of contents is independently charged and, which directly separates
at least two contents, and it is composed of the laminated sheets equipped with a
metal foil layer and a synthetic resin layer which are bonded, and a protecting means
is provided in the edge face of the laminated sheet, the edge face of the metal foil
layer is not exposed. Therefore, it is hard to corrode and the durability is high.
The second embodiment of the inner container of the present invention is for inserting
into an aerosol container which independently houses a plurality of contents, and
which directly separates at least two contents, and that the inner container is formed
by folding one or more than two flexible laminated sheets having a metal foil layer
and a synthetic resin layer so as to make the edge face of the laminated sheet face
inward, by overlapping or folding the folded laminated sheet so as to make the synthetic
resin layer become an outer surface, and mutually bonding the peripheral edge of the

[Best mode for carrying out the invention]
[0017] An aerosol product 10 for multiple contents discharge shown in Figure 1 is equipped
with an outer container 11, an intermediate container 12 having flexibility inserted
into the outer container, an inner container 13 having flexibility inserted into the
intermediate container, and an aerosol valve (hereinafter, referred to as valve) 14
closing those openings. The aerosol product 10 is of the two-contents discharge type
(multiple contents discharge type) which independently houses two sort of content,
even from a propellant and mutually discharges two sorts of content. In this embodiment,
a first content A is housed in the inner container (a first space S1), a second content
B is housed in the intermediate container (a second space S2), and a propellant P
is charged in the outer container (a third space S3). Stated differently, it means
that the inner container 13 exists in the second content B.
[0018] The outer container 11 is pressure resistant bottomed cylindrical shaped container
having a bottom portion, a barrel portion, and a shoulder portion, and a bead portion
11a formed on the upper end of the shoulder portion. A tube like neck portion may
be provided between the shoulder portion and the bead portion. This outer container
11 is an integrally formed product which is formed by impact processing, drawing compound
etc. from a metal plate such as aluminum, tin plate. However it may be formed by connecting
plurality of members by double seaming. Moreover, it may be formed of other materials
such as synthetic resin, pressure-proof glass, but it is preferable to be a hard body
having pressure resistance.
[0019] The intermediate container 12 is a flexible bottomed cylindrical shaped container
having a bottom portion, a barrel portion, and a shoulder portion, and a flange portion
12a formed in the upper end of the shoulder portion. In this container also, a tube
like neck portion may be provided between the shoulder portion and the flange portion.
Moreover, a bellows portion may be provided in the neck portion, the shoulder portion,
or the barrel portion so as to bend vertically. Such intermediate container is formed
from synthetic resin such as polyethylene (PE), polyolefin such as polypropylene,
ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EvOH), Nylon, having flexibility, into a single
layer or a laminated layer of such as PE/EvOH/PE, PE/NY/PE so as to be capable of
discharging the second content B by being crushed by the depressing force of the propellant
agent P. The intermediate container 12 can be formed, for example, by expanding a
parison against a forming die, in the case of not having a metal foil layer.
[0020] As shown in Figure 2a, b, c, the inner container 13 comprises, a bag body 16 formed
by bonding two laminated sheets, and a connection portion 17 held between the two
laminated sheets. The laminated sheet has three-layer structure in which a synthetic
resin layer is provided in the both faces of a metal foil layer. However, it is well
if it has flexibility, is equipped with a metal foil layer and a synthetic resin layer,
and its outermost layer is a synthetic resin layer. For example, it may be two layers
composed of a metal foil layer and a synthetic layer, three layers in which different
synthetic resin layers are continuously provided in the one side of the metal foil
layer, three-layer structure in which the same or different synthetic resin layers
are provided in the both side of the metal foil layer, further, four layers or more
in which one outermost layer is a synthetic resin layer can be cited. As the metal
foil layer, such as aluminum foil (Al) can be cited. As the synthetic resin layer,
such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), poly ethylene, polypropylene (PP), ethylene-vinyl
alcohol copolymer (EvOH), nylon (NY) can be cited, for example, PE/Al/PET, PE/Al/PE,
PET/Al/PE, PET/AL/NY, PE/EvOH/Al/PE, PE/EvOH/Al/PET, PE/EvOH/Al/NY etc. can be cited.
Moreover, in the surface of the synthetic resin layer, silica (Si), alumina (Al
2O
3), Carbon (C) may be vapor-deposited. Particularly, when the content is a two-liquid
type hair dye, it is preferable to use PET/Al/PE, PE/Al/PE, PET/Al/NY so that the
surface contacting the acid second agent containing oxidizer such as hydrogen peroxide
becomes PET and PE, and that the surface contacting the alkaline first agent containing
alkaline chemicals such as acid dye and ammonia becomes PE and NY.
[0021] The bag body 16 is formed by cutting a laminated sheet into a predetermined shape,
overlapping two laminated sheets so that the outer peripheral surface becomes a synthetic
resin layer, and mutually bonding the outer peripheral edge thereof by thermal deposition
or ultrasonic wave deposition. In Figure 2a, the bonded portion 18 is shown by an
imaginary line. In the edge of the bonded portion 18, a protecting coat 18a which
is a protecting means is provided all over the circumference. In other words, the
bonded portion 18 is a portion where the two laminated sheets are overlapped, but
in the edge, the layer structure including the metal foil layer of the two laminated
sheets is exposed. Hence, by providing the protecting means such as the protecting
coat 18a, the edge of the metal foil layer which is exposed in the end portion of
the laminated sheet can be covered. Thereby, problem that reaction of the end portion
of the metal foil and the content, particularly a two liquid type hair dye of the
acid second agent and the alkaline first agent generating gas, and deteriorating the
content can be solved. Further the infiltration of the agents from the bonded portion
and the exfoliation of the bonded portion can be prevented. As such protecting coat
18a, a resin film formed by spraying a liquid synthetic resin such as epoxy phenol,
epoxy urea, polyamide imide, a fluorine resin such as polytetrafluoroethylene, on
the bonded portion or on the whole inner surface of the inner container, formed by
immersing the inner container in the liquid synthetic resin such as epoxy phenol,
epoxy urea, polyamide imide, or formed by electrostatic-coating a solid resin of polyethylene,
polyethylene terephthalate, nylon formed on the bonded portion and on the whole of
the inner container, or a rubber film formed by immersing the inner container in the
silicon rubber, synthetic rubber may be cited. Moreover, a vapor deposition film may
be provided by vapor depositing, silica (Si), alumina (Al
2O
3), carbon (C) etc. in the outer surface of the inner container and the bonded portion.
[0022] The connecting member 17 is a tube like body equipped with a center hole 17a penetrating
vertically, comprising an upper portion 19a whose cross sectional shape is approximately
elliptical, and a lower portion 19b whose cross sectional shape is approximately circular,
composing an opening of an inner container 12. The upper end of upper portion 19a
is connected with a later described valve 14. Since the upper portion 19a has a flat
cross sectional shape extending transversely, the contact area with the laminated
sheet is large. The protecting coat 18a is also provided on the edge face of the laminated
sheet fixed to the connecting member 17. This connecting member 17 is composed by
stainless steel coated with adhesive resin such as polyether, polyurethane, polyolefin,
or is composed by synthetic resin such as polyacetal, nylon.
[0023] Since being configured thus, nevertheless the inner container 13 is shaped by bonding
the laminated sheets having the metal foil layer, the metal foil layer (the edge face
of the laminated sheet) is not exposed to outside. Hence, even after the content of
two-liquid reaction type is charged in the aerosol container, it is possible to prevent
the metal foil layer from corroding due to the second content B housed in the second
space S2, air, moisture etc. Particularly, it is effective when the second content
B is highly reactive. As stated above, the inner container 13 is preferably used for
an aerosol container for discharging a reactive content. Moreover, the protecting
coat 18a may be provided in the edge portion of the laminated sheet before the laminated
sheet is overlapped.
[0024] As shown in Figure 3, the valve 14 comprises a mounting cup 21 (refer to Figure 1)
crimped to a bead portion 11a of the outer container, a housing 22 which passes two
contents independently, being held in the center of the mounting cup, a stem 23 housed
in the housing so as to be movable vertically, equipped with a first stem hole 23a
of lower side and a second stem hole 23b of upper side, first stem rubbers 24a of
lower side and two second stem rubbers 24b of upper side having a cylindrical shape,
which open and close each stem hole, a fixing member 25 of a cylindrical shape which
fixes the vicinity of the outer peripheral edge of each stem rubber, being provided
between those stem rubbers, and a spring 26 which energizes the stem upward always.
[0025] A mounting cup 21 have a curved flange 21a (refer to Figure 1) crimped to the bead
portion 11a, and a housing holding portion 21b of a bottomed cylinder shape which
holds a housing 22, which is conventional mounting cup. The mounting cup is made from,
for example, a metal plate such as aluminum and tin plate.
[0026] The housing 22 is equipped with a bottom portion 31, is equipped with a connecting
portion 32 of a cylindrical shape extending downward from the bottom face, and is
equipped with a flange portion 33 protruding outside in the upper portion. The connecting
portion 32 is a portion inserted into the center hole 17a of the connecting member
17. In the center of the bottom portion 31, a communicating hole 31a which communicates
the center hole 22a and the connecting portion 32 is formed. In the upper inner face
of the housing, a lower rubber holding portion 22b to hold the lower side stem rubber
24a, and in the upper inner face, an upper rubber holding portion 22c to hold the
upper side stem rubber 24b are formed. Further, in the flange portion 33 of the housing
22, a slit 33a extending vertically is formed, and a through hole 33b is formed facing
the center hole 21a from the upper end (between the upper and the lower rubber 22b,
c) of this slit 33a.
[0027] The stem 23 is equipped with a first recessed portion 36a formed annularly in the
side lower portion, a second recessed portion 36b formed annularly in the side medium
portion, the second center hole 36c, extending to the position of the second recessed
portion 36b from the upper end center, a first center hole 36d of a ring-like shape
extending to the position of the first recessed portion 36a from the upper end, being
formed so as to surround the second center hole 36c, a first stem hole 23a extending
to the lower end of the first center hole 36d from the first recessed poriton36a,
and a second stem hole 23b extending to the lower end of the second center hole 36c
from the second recessed portion 36b. Moreover, the upper end of a first cylindrical
portion 36g composing the first center hole 36d is arranged in a position lower than
the upper end of a second cylindrical portion 36f composing the second center hole
36c. Thereby, when each content is charged in the first space S1 and the second space
S2 from the stem 23, sealing which leaves one of the second center hole 36c or the
first center hole 36d can be done simply. Hence, each content can be charged securely.
[0028] The first stem rubber 24a and the second stem rubber 24b are those which are ring
like, and each center hole engaging with the first recessed portion 36a and the second
recessed portion 36b while keeping sealing performance.
The fixing member 25 is a cylindrical shaped member tapered so as to become large
as the inner face goes upward. The first stem rubber 24a is held by a lower end 25a
and a lower rubber holding portion 22b, the second stem rubber 24b is held by the
upper end 25b, an upper rubber holding portion 22c, and the inner face of the mounting
cup. Moreover, a member through hole 25c penetrating inside and outside so as to communicate
with a through hole 33c of the housing is formed. The fixing member 25 is provided
between the two stem rubbers 24a, 24b, and fixes the vicinity of the outer circumference
of the two stem rubbers. Moreover, since it prevents falling off and jumping of the
stem 23 and it bends the inner circumference portion of the stem rubbers 24a, 24b,
when the stem 23 is pushed down, it does not disturb the pushing down of the stem
23.
[0029] Being configured thus, in the housing 22 of the valve, a storage A chamber 30a which
stores the first content, compartmentalized by the center hole 22a of the housing
22, the stem 23, and the first stem rubber 24a of the lower side, and a storage B
chamber 30b which stores the second content, compartmentalized by the upper and the
lower stem rubbers 24a, 24b and the fixing member 25 are formed.
And, the first content A flowing from the connecting member 17 reaches the storage
A chamber 30a through the communicating hole 31a. Meanwhile, the second content B
charged in the intermediate container reaches the storage B chamber 30b through the
slit 33 of the housing, the through hole 33b, and the member through hole 25c of the
fixing member.
[0030] Further, if the stem 23 is pushed down, the first content A in the storage A chamber
30a is pushed out to outside or to a spout member (not in the figure) from the first
center hole 36d through the first stem hole 23a, the second content B in the second
storage B chamber is pushed out to outside or to a spout member from the second center
hole 36c through the second stem hole 23b.
[0031] Next, the manufacturing method of this aerosol container 10 is described using Figure
4. First, the intermediate container 12 is inserted into the outer container 11, the
second content B is charged in the intermediate container 12 (refer to Figure 4a).
At this time, the flange portion 12a of the intermediate container 12 is positioned
upper than the bead portion 11a of the outer container 11. In other words, it becomes
in the state that the upper end of the intermediate container protrudes from the outer
container. Then, the edge face of the laminated sheet is protection-processed, the
inner container 13 in which the first content A is charged is connected to the valve
14. In the connected state, the inner container 13 is inserted into the intermediate
container 12 (refer to Figures 4b, c). At this time, since the inner container 13
is composed of the laminated sheet, it can be simply folded or simply bent, the insertion
is simple. When the inner container 13 is inserted into the intermediate container
12, before the bottom portion of the inner container 13 reaches the bottom portion
of the intermediate container 12, the flange portion 12a of the intermediate container
12 contacts the inner face of the curbed flange 21a of the mounting cup 21. Stated
differently, the inner container 13 is supported by the flange portion 12a of the
intermediate container 12, and becomes in a state floating in the intermediate container
12.
[0032] In this embodiment, a ring like shaped seal member 37 is provided between the curbed
flange 21a and the flange portion 12a. Hence, the curved flange 21a, the seal member
37, and the flange portion 12a are piled. However, seal performance may be secured
by crushing the flange portion 12a of the intermediate container 12 without using
the seal member 37. In this state, a propellant P is charged in the space between
the outer container 11 and the intermediate container 12 from the lower side of the
flange portion 12a of the intermediate container 12 (arrow head direction, under cup
charge). And, together with the charge of the propellant P, the mounting cup 21 of
the valve 14 is cramped to the outer container 11, the valve 14 is fixed to the outer
container 11, thereby the aerosol product is manufactured (refer to Figure 4d). In
addition, the first content can also be charged in the inner container 13 while closing
the second center hole 36c, after the propellant is charged and the valve 14 is fixed
to the outer container 11. In this case, since the inner container 13 can be deflated
in a vacant state, the insertion into the intermediate container 12 becomes easy,
no air entering the intermediate container. Further, the first content A and the second
content B can be separately charged also from the stem after the valve 14 is fixed
to the outer container 11 and the air in the first space S1 and the second space S2
is exhausted simultaneously by pushing down the stem, after the propellant is under-cup
charged in the third space S3 between the outer container 11 and the intermediate
container 12.
[0033] As the content to be charged in the aerosol container 10, contents which reacts by
mixing two contents such as two-liquid type hair dyes, two-liquid type permanent wav
agents, two-liquid type adhesive agents can be preferably cited. Particularly, when
a two-liquid type dye is charged, from the point that the shielding effect of two
liquids is easy to obtain, it is preferable that an alkaline first agent is housed
in the inner container (the first space S1), and an acid second agent is housed in
the intermediate container (the second space). However, even if it is inverse, the
effect of the present invention can be exerted.
[0034] Moreover, as the propellant, compressed gas such as nitrogen gas, carbon dioxide
gas, nitrous oxide gas, compressed air, and mixed gas of those, liquefied gas such
as liquefied petroleum gas, dimethyl ether, hydrofluoro-olefin, hydrofluorocarbon,
and mixed gas of those can be cited.
In addition, as the spouting condition of the content, other than liquid, cream, gel,
it can be made to be post expansion cream and gel which foams after spouting by adding
a foaming agent such as n-butane, isopentane.
[0035] An aerosol product 50 shown in Figure 5 is equipped with an outer container 51, an
inner container 52 inserted into the outer container thereof, and a valve 53 to close
those openings. The aerosol product 50 is operated by being inverted. Moreover, the
second content B and the propellant P are charged between the outer container 11 and
the inner container 52, the first content A is charged in the inner container 52.
The outer container 51 is substantially same as the outer container 11 of Figure 1.
[0036] The inner container 52 comprises a bag body 56 and a connecting member 57 fixed to
the bag body 57. Moreover, in the edge of a bonded portion 58, the protecting coat
18a is provided. This is same as the inner container 12 of Figure 1, excepting that
the connecting member 57 is cylindrically shaped.
[0037] As shown in Figure 6, the valve 53 comprises a mounting cup 61, a housing 62, a stem
63, a lower side first stem rubber 64a, an upper side second stem rubber 64b, a cylindrically
shaped fixing member 65, and a spring 66. The mounting cup 61 and the stem rubbers
64a, 64b are substantially same as the mounting cup 21 and the stem rubbers 24a, 24b
of Figure 3.
[0038] The housing 62 comprises a cylindrically shaped inner housing 71, and an outer housing
72 into which the inner housing is inserted. The inner housing 71 comprises a center
hole 71a which allows the vertical movement of the stem, a tube like connecting member
73 which is connected by inserting the connecting member 57, a communicating hole
74 which communicates the center hole 71a and the connecting portion 73, and a rubber
engagingly stopping portion 75 which engagingly stops the first stem rubber 64a formed
in the upper portion of the inner face. Moreover, the inner housing 71 is equipped
with a flange portion 76 annularly protruding toward outside in a radial direction
in the upper portion, in the flange portion 76, a through hole 76a penetrating the
flange portion 76 vertically is formed.
The outer housing 72 is a cylindrical shaped housing, and comprises an upper portion
72a contacting the flange portion 76 of the inner flange 71 and a lower portion 72b
covering the outer face of the inner housing 71 with a clearance provided in between.
[0039] The stem 63 is equipped with the first recessed portion 36a of the side lower portion,
the second recessed portion 36b of side medium portion, the first center hole 63a
extending to the position of the first recessed portion 36a from the upper end center,
the ring like shaped second center hole 63b extending to the position of the second
recessed portion 36b from the upper end formed so as to surround the first center
hole 63a, the first stem hole 23a, and the second stem hole 23b. Moreover, the upper
end of the first cylindrical portion 63c composing the first center hole 63a is arranged
in a position higher than the upper end of the second cylindrical portion 63d composing
the second center hole 63b. The stem 63 is same as the stem 23 of Figure 2 excepting
that the first center hole 63a extends to the position of the lower side first recessed
portion 36a, and the second center hole 63b extends to the position of the upper side
second recessed portion 36b, hence the same reference numerals are respectively used.
[0040] The fixing member 65 is a cylindrical shaped member, and in which a step potion 65a
protruding outward in a radial direction is formed facing upward. Further, in the
step portion 65a, a through hole 65b which communicates with the through hole 76a
of the inner housing and penetrates the step portion 65a is formed.
[0041] Being configured thus, the aerosol product 50 has a storage A chamber 70a which stores
the first content, compartmentalized by a center hole 71a of an inner housing 71,
the stem 63, and the first stem rubber 64a of lower side, and a storage B chamber
70b which stores the second content, compartmentalized by the upper and lower stem
rubbers 64a, 64b and the fixing member 65.
[0042] And, the first content A in the inner container 12 reaches the storage A chamber
70a through a communicating hole 74 of the inner housing. Meanwhile, by making the
aerosol product 50 inverted, the second content B between the outer container 51 and
the inner container 52 reaches the storage B chamber passing through a gap 77 between
the inner housing 71, the outer housing 72, and passing through a thorough hole 76a
of a flange portion 76 and the through hole 65a of the fixing member.
Further, if the stem 63 is pushed down below, in the inversed state, the first content
A in the storage A chamber 70a is pushed out to outside or to the spouting member
(not shown in the figure) from the first center hole 63a through the first stem hole
23a, the second content B in the storage B chamber 70b is pushed out to outside or
to the spout member from the second center hole 63b through the second stem hole 23b.
As the content discharged from this aerosol product, since the second content can
be combined with liquefied gas, the spouting condition can be changed such as foam
and cream, foam and gel. Moreover, by utilizing vaporization heat, the discharged
object is cooled, obtaining also a cooling effect.
[0043] The bonded portions 80a, b, c of Figures 7a, b , c show the other embodiments of
the bonded portion 18 of the inner container of Figure 2 or the inner container of
Figure 5. The laminated sheets whose end portions are folded inwardly are overlapped,
and the outer peripheral portions thereof are bonded.
In the bonded portion 80a of Figure 7a, the laminated sheet whose end portions 81a
are folded inwardly one time is overlapped so that the folded end portions 81a face
each other. In other words, the folded end portions 81a are arranged so as to be inside
of the inner container. The folded portions are bonded mutually. Being configured
thus, the end portions of the laminated sheet are arranged to be inside of the inner
container, the metal plate composing the laminated sheet never contact the second
content B housed in the intermediate container (the second space S2), or the second
content B housed in the outer container of Figure 5. However, in this case, since
the first content A in the inner container and the end portions 81a of the laminated
sheet contact, as the first content A, it is preferable to use that of which the reactivity
is low.
[0044] In the bonded portion 80b of Figure 7b, the laminated sheet in which the end portions
81a are folded inwardly one time, and the folded portions 81b are further folded inward
is overlapped so that the folded end portions face each other, the outer peripheral
portions are bonded mutually. In this case, since the end portions 81a are surrounded
by the laminated sheet, the end portions 81a do not exposed to the inner face or the
outer face of the inner container. Accordingly, the metal foil composing the laminated
sheet is not exposed also. In the bonded portion 80c of Figure 7c, the laminated sheet
in which the end portions 81a are folded inward one time, further, the folded portions
81b are folded inward is overlapped so that the folded portions face opposedly, and
are bonded mutually. In this case also, the end portions 81a are not exposed also
to the inner face and to the outer face. Thus, in the bonded portions 80a, b, c of
Figures 7a, b, c, the end portion of the laminated sheet is not exposed to the interior
of the second space, and it prevent the corrosion of the metal foil by the second
content B in the second space.
[0045] A bonded portion 82 of Figure 7d is that in which two laminated sheets of three-layer
structure consisting of a metal foil 85 made of aluminum foil etc. and synthetic resin
sheets 83, 84 laminated on the both sides thereof are bonded in the peripheral edge
portion. As shown in Figure 7e, the metal foil 85 is made to be smaller than the synthetic
resin sheets 83, 84, thereby, when bonded, the end portion of the metal foil 85 is
wrapped around by synthetic resin sheets 83, 84 of inside and outside, and therefore
the exposure can be prevented. Moreover, in the laminated sheet of the three-layer
structure such as Figure 7d, in the inner face side, since the synthetic resin sheets
83, 83 mutually contact, by making the synthetic resin sheet 83 of the inner face
made of thermoplastic resin, heat sealing can be exerted. When the synthetic resin
sheet 83 of the inner face side is omitted, the synthetic resin sheets 84 of the outer
face side are mutually heat-sealed, and the metal foils 85 are mutually bonded by
adhering with an adhesive.
[0046] Figure 8 shows the container in which an inner container 90 and an intermediate container
91 are integrated, and the edge (the edge portion of the laminated sheet) of the bonded
portion of the inner container 90 protrudes from the intermediate container.
The inner container 90 comprises a bag body 92 in which two laminated sheets are overlapped
and the outer edge portions thereof are bonded, and a connecting member 93 fixed to
the bag body, and is substantially same as that of Figure 52.
The intermediate container 91 comprises an intermediate bag body 95 equipped with
two housing chambers 95a, 95b composed so that laminated sheets are overlapped on
the both sides of this inner container 90, the outer edge portions thereof are bonded,
and two connecting members 96a, 96b which communicate each housing chamber 95a, 95b
and outside, being fixed to the intermediate bag body 95.
Stated differently, the inner container 90 and the intermediate container 91 are those
in which four laminated sheets are overlapped, and three independent spaces are formed.
Being configured thus, the edge (an end portion 97a of the laminated sheet) of a bonded
portion 97 of the inner container 90 becomes to be exposed to the outside of the intermediate
container 91. Hence, the edge never contact with the content housed in the housing
chambers 95a, 95b of the intermediate container 91.
[0047] A valve 100 of Figure 9 is attached to the inner container 90 and the intermediate
container 91, and comprises a main body 101 and a mounting member 102 attached to
the lower end thereof. The main body 101 is the valve 53 of Figure 6 where the lower
end of the outer housing 72 is extended below, and the lower end of the communicating
hole 72 and the gap 77 between the inner housing 71 and the outer housing 72 being
same position. Moreover, in the outer circumference of the lower portion of the main
body 101, an engaging protrusion 101a for engaging with the mounting member 102 is
formed. The mounting cup 61, the housing 62, the stem 63, the lower side first stem
rubber 64a, the upper side second stem rubber 64b, the fixing member 65, and the spring
66 which are the other components are substantially same as those of the valve 63
of Figure 5.
[0048] The mounting member 102 is equipped with three through holes 102a, b, c extending
vertically. The position relation is such that a through hole 102a is formed in the
center, through holes 102b, c are formed in the periphery thereof, and are aligned
in the position of the connecting members 93, 96a, b.
By attaching the mounting member 102 to the main body 101, the through hole 102a formed
in the center communicates with the communicating hole 74 of the main body 101. The
through holes 102b, c communicate with the gap 77 between the inner housing 71 and
the outer housing 72.
When the inner container 90 is connected to the valve 100, the connecting member 93
of the inner container 90 is connected to the through hole 102a, the connecting members
96a, 96b of the intermediate container 91 are connected to the through holes 102b,
c respectively. Thereby, the first content A in the inner container 90 is induced
to the storage A chamber 70a, the second content B in the intermediate container 91
is induced to the storage B chamber 70b.
[0049] An inner container 105 of Figure 10 comprises a bag body 106 in which one laminated
sheet is folded into halves, the outer peripheral edge thereof is bonded, and a connecting
member 107 fixed to the bag body 106. Moreover, in the bonded portion 18, the protecting
coat 18a is provided. However, it may be that in which the end portion of the laminated
sheet is folded inward, then the folded into halves, and the outer peripheral edge
is bonded. In this also, since the end portion of the laminated sheet is not exposed
in the second space same as the other inner container, it is hard to corrode, and
the durability is high.
[0050] In the above described embodiment, the protecting coat 18a is adopted, but it is
also possible that, for example, as shown in Figure 11, a protecting sheet 108 folded
into two is covered on the outside of the bonded portion 18 by thermal adhesion to
make it a protecting means. This protecting sheet 108 is that in which two sheets
of a frame 110 are made into a frame shape by providing a large window portion 109
so that the bag body 106 of the inner container 105 of Figure 10 can expand, and are
connected each other by the side edge, and are folded into two. In the center of the
upper end, a semi-cylinder portion 111 which passes through the connecting portion
107 of Figure 10 is provided. The protecting sheet 108 can be manufactured so that,
as shown in Figure 12a, an opening 109 of right and left two places and the semi-cylinder
portion 111 are fabricated in one sheet, and is folded in the center.
[0051] As shown in Figure 12a and Figure 12b, this protecting sheet 108 is larger than the
bonded portion 18 of the inner container 105, and the window portion 109 is smaller
than the bonded potion of the inner container. Thereby, the bonded portion 18 of the
inner container 105 can be sandwiched between the two frames 110. And after sandwiching
it, if thermal adhesion is performed, the end edge of the bonded portion 18 can be
covered. Thereby, the metal foil exposed from the end edge is not exposed. In addition,
as the inner container 105 of Figure 10, in the case that there is not the bonded
portion 18 in the one side edge, the frame corresponding to the portion thereof can
be omitted, for example, in the protecting sheet 108 of Figure 12a, the longitudinal
frame of the center can be omitted. Moreover, as Figure 11, Figure 12a, the protecting
sheet 108 is formed by two sheets other than that is formed by one sheet. Such protecting
sheet covering the outside of the bonded portion 18 can also be adopted in Figures
2a, b, c.
[0052] An aerosol product 120 shown in Figure 13 has the outer container 11, the intermediate
container 12, the inner container 13 and the valve 14, which are identical with the
aerosol product 10 of Figure 1, further, a spout member 121 is mounted on the stem
23 of the valve 14. In the first space S1 of the inner container 13, though not particularly
restricted, for example, the first content A composed of a liquid of low viscosity,
a liquid of high viscosity such as cream or gel is housed. As the first content A,
it is preferable to be a liquid of high viscosity such as cream or gel from the point
that dripping can be prevented when spouting. In the second space S2 between the intermediate
container 12 and the inner container 13, the second contain B spouted in a foam state
and the propellant P are housed. As the second content B, post expandable creams and
gels in which, when discharged in a mixed state with a propellant, the propellant
vaporizes slowly and gradually, foams, creams, gels, or low viscosity liquids which
foam just after spouted can be cited. Dripping can be prevented by foaming. Moreover,
as the propellant, compressed gas or liquefied gas used in the aerosol product 10
of Figure 1 can be cited. In the third space S3 between the outer container 11 and
the intermediate container 12, the propellant is not charged, and air entered when
the intermediate container 12 is inserted into the outer container 11 remains. Other
points are same as the aerosol product 10 of Figure 1.
[0053] In the spout member 121, a first path 122 which communicates with the first center
hole 36d of the stem 23 and a second path 123 which communicates with the second center
hole 36c are provided. The first path 122 extends concentrically so as to surround
the circumference of the second path 123. The first path 122 and the second path 123
are not communicated, Therefore, the first content A and the second content B are
spouted outside from the spout member 121, then, applied to hair etc. after mixing
by the palm of the hand, a brush, a tray etc. In the case that the spouted object
is cream, gel, or foam, those are easy to be mixed, applied, and dripping is hard
to occur when applied.
[0054] In this aerosol product 120 also, the inner container 13 is immersed in the second
content B, but same as the aerosol product 10 of Figure 1, since the edge face of
the metal foil layer is covered by the protecting means such as the protecting coat,
and is not exposed, even if the second content B is a reactive liquid, the corrosion/deterioration
of the metal foil layer is prevented. Further, in the third space S3 between the outer
container 11 and the intermediate container 12, since air is charged, even if the
outer container 11 is made of metal such as aluminum, corrosion is prevented. In addition,
as the gas existing in the third space S3, other than to leave air existing when housing
the intermediate container in the outer container, it may be the gas replacing the
air with vaporization gas such as nitrogen gas and liquefied gas. Moreover, it may
be such that the intermediate container is made to be a simple layer structure of
PE having permeability to gas, and that the propellant agent charged in the second
space S2 is made to permeate from the intermediate container into the third space
S3.
[0055] In the aerosol product 120 of Figure 13, the propellant is not charged between the
outer container 11 and the intermediate container 12, and the propellant is charged
in the intermediate container 12. Hence, the intermediate container 12 may be made
of hard synthetic resin not having flexibility. Moreover, this propellant depresses
the inner container not only to discharge the first content, but also can make the
second content into foam. Further, this product is not equipped with a dip tube which
suctions the second content B to supply to the valve 14. Hence, it is used as an inverted
type aerosol product in which the second content B is discharged in a state being
inverted.
[0056] An aerosol product 125 shown in Figure 14, Figure 15 is equipped with two valves
126, 127 for discharging two liquids and one spout member 128 which operates those
valves simultaneously. Any of the aerosol products 125 of Figure 1, Figure 5, Figure
13 etc. is that in which the discharge/shutoff of two contentss is switched by one
valve, is equipped with mutually independent two systems of a path in the interior
of the valve, and is made to be a structure that those paths are simultaneously opened
and closed by operating the spout member. Hence, the structure of the valve is complicated.
Consequently, in the aerosol product 125 of Figure 14, mutually independent two valves
126, 127 are tightly attached to the mouth portion of the outer container 11 by one
valve holder 129 and a mounting cover 130. Thereby, each valve 126, 127 can be made
into a simple configuration. The valves 126, 127, the valve holder 129 and the mounting
cover 130 are preferable to be assembled beforehand as an assembly 131.
[0057] The lower portion of the valve holder 129 is fitted in the upper end inner face of
the outer container 11, and it has a hole (holder potion) to hold the two valves 126,
127 in the upper face thereof (refer to Figure 15). Each valve 126, 127 has the tubular
housing 22, the stem 23 housed to be movable vertically in the interior thereof, the
spring 26 energizing the stem 23 upward always, the stem rubber 24 which opens and
closes the stem hole of the stem 23, being arranged in the upper face of the housing
22, and a cap 132 which fixes the stem rubber to the housing 22.
[0058] And, in the lower end of the housing 22 of the first valve 126, the inner container
13 which forms the first space S1 is attached. In the lower end of the valve housing
of the second valve 127, a dip tube 133 is attached, which is communicated with the
interior of the outer container 11 which forms the second space S2. In the inner container
13, a protecting tube 134 is provided, which is for securing a flow path, even when
the remaining quantity becomes small. This aerosol product 125 does not use the intermediate
container of Figure 1. In the inner container 13, the first content A is charged,
and in the outer container 11, the second content B and the propellant P are charged.
As the inner container 13, any of the above described pouch type inner container such
as Figures 2a-c, Figures 7a-e, Figure 10, Figures 12a-c can be adopted. Since this
aerosol product 125 has the dip tube 133, it can be used in an upright state.
[0059] Moreover, the outer container 11 of this aerosol product 125 is a pressure-resistant
container made of synthetic resin, and is equipped with a cylindrical neck portion
135 in the upper end of the barrel portion, and is provided with a thick-walled flange
portion 135a. This flange portion 135a is that which is for fixing the lower end of
the mounting cover 130 to the outer container 11 by cramping. In the mounting cover
130, it is preferable to provide a reinforcing rib for raising pressure resistance
(refer to Figure 15).
[0060] Since the outer container 11 is made of synthetic resin, even if the second content
B is housed directly, the inside face thereof is hard to be corroded. As the outer
container 11, synthetic resin having translucency can be adopted. In this case, the
remaining quantity of the second content B can be checked by eyes. Further, the remaining
quantity of the first content A also can be estimated by the degree of bulge of the
inner container 13. The outer container 11 can be shaped by biaxial stretch blow molding
using synthetic resin such as polyethylene terephthalate, nylon, polypropylene. However
it may be shaped by injection molding. The outer container 11 may be provided with
a vapor-deposited film such as carbon, oxidized aluminum, silica in the inner face
and or the outer face to suppress the permeation of the second content B and the propellant
agent.
[0061] In this aerosol product 125 also, since the metal foil layer of the inner container
13 is not exposed outside, the metal foil layer does not directly contact the second
content B. Hence the corrosion of the metal foil layer is prevented. Moreover, since
two valves 126, 127 can open and close the path through which the first content A
and the second content B flow, the structure of each valve is simple. Moreover, with
the first valve 126 and the second valve 12, the ratio of the discharge amount of
the first content A and the second content B can be adjusted. The ratio of the discharge
amount of the first content A and the second content B can be adjusted in the range,
for example, 1:1 to 1:5 by selecting the size of the stem hole and the hole of the
bottom of the housing.
[0062] An aerosol product 136 shown in Figure 16, Figure 17 is equipped with the outer container
11 composed of a metal can, an intermediate container 12 made of synthetic resin housed
in the interior thereof, the inner container 13 housed in the interior of the intermediate
container 12, and a valve assembly 131 plugging the opening of the intermediate container
12 and the outer container 11. The outer container 11 is, same as the outer container
11 of Figure 11, made of aluminum, and is equipped with the bead portion 11a in the
upper end, and expresses a bottomed cylinder shape. As the intermediate container
12 also, that which is same as Figure 1 can be used. For example, a blow molding of
synthetic resin of three-layer structure of PE/EvOH/PE is used.
[0063] About the inner container 13 also, it is a pouch same as that of Figure 1, and is
that which is made into a bag like shape by bonding the laminated sheet such as PE/PET/Al/PE
(from inside to outside, or from outside to inside), PE/Al/PE. The interior of the
inner container 13 is the first space S1, the first content A such as cream is charged
therein. In the second space S2 between the inner container 13 and the intermediate
container 12, the second content such as cream is charged. In the third space S3 between
the intermediate container 12 and the outer container 11, the propellant agent P for
discharging the first content A and the second content B is charged. As the propellant
P, compressed gas, for example, nitrogen gas etc can be adopted.
[0064] The valve assembly 131 is substantially same as that of Figure 14, and comprises
the first valve 126, the second valve 127, the valve holder 129 and the mounting cover
130. The upper portion of the mounting cover 130 is, as shown in Figure 17, tube-like
or taper-like, whose planar shape is oval, the lower portion is made into cylindrical
shape so as to fit the mouth portion of the outer container 11. The lower end of the
mounting cover 130 is cramped to the bead portion 11a of the upper end of the outer
container 11. About the aerosol container 136 also, the valves 126, 127 are provided
for every content A, B, the ratio of the discharge amount can be selected in a design
stage.
[0065] An aerosol product 137 shown in Figure 18 is a modified version in which the inner
container 13 of the aerosol product 136 of Figure 16 is made doubled. Since the first
space S1 in the inner container 13 becomes twofold, when the first content A is identical,
the charged amount thereof can be made much. Moreover, different sorts of the first
content A can be charged. Along with the inner container 13 being doubled, the valve
attached to the valve assembly 131 is made to be three each; the first valve 138,
the second valve 139, and the third valve 140. The valve holder 129 holds those three
valves. The first valve 138 and the second valve 139 described herein are equivalent
to the first valve 126 of Figure 16. Other points are same as the aerosol product
136 of Figure 16, the inner container 13 is composed by the pouch protecting the above
described metal foil layer. In the case that three valves are provided as described
above, when the forth valve for gas charging is provided, the upper portion of the
mounting cover 130 is made into cylindrical shape, not oval shape.
