Patent ID: 7854356

Claim:
A cap ( 7 ) with a button ( 6 ) for actuating a valve of a container ( 1 ), in particular of an aerosol container or spray container, the button ( 6 ) being pivotable about a hinge ( 5 ) and being intended to act against a stem ( 11 ) of the container ( 1 ) via an angled spray channel ( 10 ) in order to deflect the stem ( 11 ) upon manual actuation of the button ( 6 ) and in order therefore to open the valve, as a result of which a product contained in the container ( 1 ) can move out through the stem ( 11 ) and through a product dispensing opening ( 3 ) provided on the cap ( 7 ), in so doing passing through the spray channel ( 10 ), a sound-limiting seal ( 49 ) between the button ( 6 ) and the cap ( 7 ) is formed by a sealing lip ( 8 ) at the edge of the cap ( 7 ) and by a further sealing lip ( 9 ) at the edge of the button ( 6 ), wherein the sealing lips ( 8 , 9 ) are oriented horizontally, and the sealing lip ( 9 ) of the button ( 6 ) lies on the sealing lip ( 8 ) of the cap ( 7 ) when the button ( 6 ) is not actuated, wherein applying an actuating force on the button ( 6 ) presses the sealing lip ( 9 ) of the button ( 6 ) against the sealing lip ( 8 ) of the cap ( 7 ) causing a slight deforming and generating a return spring force, which return spring force acts to return the button ( 6 ) to a pre-actuation position when the actuating force is removed.
