Abstract:
A cap for mounting on an aerosol container having a container body with a top end from which a discharge head is protruding upwardly, said cap comprising:a tubular body member having a lower part which is able to be engaged to an upper part of said container body, a top plate member having a periphery connected to an upper end portion of the tubular body member so as to close a top surface of the tubular body member, said top plate member having an aperture and a lid for closing the aperture, said lid having a fixed end which is connected to a margin of the aperture through a bendable line, such that the lid is able to turn from a first position in which the lid closes the aperture, to a second position in which the lid is protruding into the tubular body member so as to get in touch with a top face of the discharge head that is pressed generally downwardly, said top plate member also having a stopper for fixing the lid in the second position so as to keep the discharge head in such a pressed state, wherein the aperture is located eccentrically deviating from a longitudinal central axis of the discharge head, and has an inner marginal portion which is close to the central axis; and the lid is formed by a folding plate for covering the aperture in the first position and having the fixed end joined to the inner marginal portion of the aperture through the bendable line, and by a depression plate which is protruding from an underside of the folding plate in the first position; and the stopper is depending from one side of the top plate member generally opposite to the bendable line, for engaging with a leading end portion of the depression plate in the second position, such that when the discharge head is depressed downward, and the lid is turned into the second position, the depression plate contacts with the discharge head so as to keep such a depressed state.
