Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a device for dispensing a liquified gas propellant including one or more active ingredients such as is used for insecticides or exterminating purposes. More particularly, the device, which is commonly known as an ''''Aerosol Bomb'''', comprises a container of conventional type having a discharge nozzle which is actuated by pressing or tilting to release the contents of the container as a spray. The container has an annular flange near its upper end to which a cap is releasably connected. The cap has a transversely extending wall between its ends which is longitudinally displaced more from one end of the cap than from the other, so that in one position of the cap on the flange, the transverse wall will be spaced from the nozzle and in the reverse position of the cap, the transverse wall will abut against the nozzle to actuate the latter to release the pressurized contents of the container through an aperture in the transverse wall.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
157 words
A cap for an aerosol bomb of the type comprising a container with an end wall having an annular retaining bead and having a discharge nozzle extending axially outward from said end wall, said cap having a cylindrical wall, a partition extending transversely in said cap, said partition having a discharge aperture, means on both ends of the cap releasably to clamp onto the retaining bead, said partition being spaced a shorter distance from one of the ends of the cylindrical wall of the cap than the other end, the distance being such that the nozzle will be engaged by the partition when the end of the cap a shorter distance from the partition engages said annular bead, to actuate said nozzle to release the contents of the container through said aperture, and when the other end of the cap engages said annular bead, said partition will be longitudinally spaced from the outer end of said nozzle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
157 words
A cap for an aerosol bomb of the type comprising a container with an end wall having an annular retaining bead and having a discharge nozzle extending axially outward from said end wall, said cap having a cylindrical wall, a partition extending transversely in said cap, said partition having a discharge aperture, means on both ends of the cap releasably to clamp onto the retaining bead, said partition being spaced a shorter distance from one of the ends of the cylindrical wall of the cap than the other end, the distance being such that the nozzle will be engaged by the partition when the end of the cap a shorter distance from the partition engages said annular bead, to actuate said nozzle to release the contents of the container through said aperture, and when the other end of the cap engages said annular bead, said partition will be longitudinally spaced from the outer end of said nozzle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
52 words
The combination set forth in claim 1 in which said nozzle is actuated by tilting the same from its longitudinal axis, and said partition has cam means associated therewith which engage the outer end of said nozzle to tilt the latter when the associated end of the cap engages said annular bead.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
49 words
The combination set forth in claim 1 in which said nozzle is actuated by depressing the same axially and said partition has cam means associated therewith which engage the outer end of said nozzle to depress the latter when the associated end of the cap engages said annular bead.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
87 words
The combination set forth in claim 1 in which said partition has a protuberance formed integrally therewith defining a substantially conical cavity facing the end of the cap which is a shorter distance from the partition, the inner wall surface of said cavity defining a cam surface adapted to engage the outer end of said nozzle to actuate the latter when the end of the cap which is the shorter distance from the partition is secured to said annular bead, said discharge aperture being in said proturberance.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
87 words
The combination set forth in claim 4 in which said protuberance has its longitudinal axis extending through its apex, transversely displaced from the longitudinal axis of said nozzle, said nozzle having its outer end adapted to be aligned with the Inner wall of said cavity when the end of the cap, the shorter distance from the partition is secured to said annuular bead, whereby said inner wall of the cavity will cam said outer end of the nozzle laterally to actuate the valve associated with the nozzle.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
89 words
The combination set forth in claim 4 in which said protuberance has its longitudinal axis extending through its apex and longitudinally aligned with the longitudinal axis of said nozzle, said nozzle having its outer end adapted to be aligned with the apex of said conical cavity when the end of the cap, the shorter distance from the partition, is secured to said annular bead, whereby said inner wall of the cavity coaxially with the nozzle will cam said nozzle axially inwardly to actuate the valve associated with said nozzle.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
66 words
The combination set forth in claim 1 in which the means on the end of the cap a shorter distance from the partition engages the outer periphery of the annular retaining bead and said cap has an internal retaining means releasably to engage the inner periphery of said annular retaining bead when the end of the cap engages said outer periphery of said annular retaining bead.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
87 words
The combination set forth in claim 1 in which the means on the end of the cap a shorter distance from the partition engages the outer periphery of the annular retaining bead, said cap has a skirt extending from said partition in the direction of the end of the cap a shorter distance from the partition, said skirt being coaxial with the cylindrical wall of the cap and having means on the outer edge thereof releasably to clamp onto the inner periphery of said annular retaining bead.
