Aerosol canister case with locking twist cap
View Patent ↗A case for securing an aerosol canister, including a body, including a first lateral wall having a first top edge and a first bottom edge, a bottom wall connected to the first lateral wall proximate the first bottom edge, and at least one cutout arranged in the first lateral wall proximate the first top edge, and a cap connected to the body, including a nozzle in fluid contact with a stem of the aerosol canister, and at least one gusset arranged to engage the at least one cutout, wherein in an unlocked position, the cap is displaceable in a first axial direction relative to the body to dispense the contents of the aerosol canister out of the nozzle, and in a locked position, the cap is not displaceable in the first axial direction.
1. A case for securing an aerosol canister, comprising:
a body, including:
a first lateral wall having a first top edge and a first bottom edge;
a bottom wall connected to and enclosing the first lateral wall proximate the first bottom edge; and,
at least one cutout arranged in the first lateral wall proximate the first top edge; and,
a cap rotatably connected to the body, including:
a second lateral wall having a second top edge and a second bottom edge;
a top wall connected to the second lateral wall proximate the second top edge;
a nozzle in fluid contact with a stem of the aerosol canister; and,
at least one gusset arranged to engage the at least one cutout;
wherein:
in an unlocked position, the cap is displaceable in a first axial direction relative to the body to dispense the contents of the aerosol canister out of the nozzle; and,
in a locked position, the cap is not displaceable in the first axial direction.
2. The case as recited in claim 1 , wherein the at least one cutout comprises a ledge and a notch.
3. The case as recited in claim 2 , wherein:
in the unlocked position, the gusset is arranged to engage the notch; and,
in the locked position, the gusset is arranged to engage the ledge.
4. The case as recited in claim 3 , wherein:
to arrange the case in the unlocked position, the cap is rotated in a first circumferential direction relative to the body; and,
to arrange the case in the locked position, the cap is rotated in a second circumferential direction, opposite the first circumferential direction, relative to the body.
5. The case as recited in claim 1 , wherein the cap further comprises a conduit:
including a hole;
connected to the nozzle; and,
arranged to engage the stem.
6. The case as recited in claim 5 , wherein the conduit comprises:
an inlet conduit having a first hole, the inlet conduit arranged to engage the stem; and,
an outlet conduit having a second hole, the second hole extending from the first hole to the nozzle.
7. The case as recited in claim 1 , wherein the at least one gusset extends between the top wall and the second lateral wall.
8. The case as recited in claim 1 , wherein the cap is arranged concentrically around the body.
9. The case as recited in claim 1 , wherein the cap comprises one or more ribs arranged proximate the second top edge.
10. The case as recited in claim 9 , wherein the one or more ribs are arranged diametrically opposite the nozzle.
11. The case as recited in claim 1 , wherein the bottom wall is curvilinear and is arranged for connection to an attachment element.
12. The case as recited in claim 11 , wherein:
the bottom wall includes a channel; and,
a hole is formed between the attachment element and the channel.
13. A case for securing an aerosol canister, comprising:
a body, including:
a first lateral wall having a first top edge and a first bottom edge;
a bottom wall connected to the first lateral wall proximate the first bottom edge, the bottom wall enclosing the first bottom edge; and,
at least one cutout arranged in the first lateral wall proximate the first top edge; and,
a cap connected to the body, the cap concentrically arranged around the body proximate the first top edge and including:
a second lateral wall having a second top edge and a second bottom edge;
a top wall connected to the second lateral wall proximate the second top edge;
a nozzle in fluid contact with a stem of the aerosol canister; and,
at least one gusset arranged to engage the at least one cutout;
wherein:
in an unlocked position, the cap is displaceable in a first axial direction relative to the body to dispense the contents of the aerosol canister out of the nozzle; and,
in a locked position, the cap is not displaceable in the first axial direction.
14. The case as recited in claim 13 , wherein the at least one cutout comprises a ledge and a notch.
15. The case as recited in claim 14 , wherein:
in the unlocked position, the gusset is arranged to engage the notch; and,
in the locked position, the gusset is arranged to engage the ledge.
16. The case as recited in claim 15 , wherein:
to arrange the case in the unlocked position, the cap is rotated in a first circumferential direction relative to the body; and,
to arrange the case in the locked position, the cap is rotated in a second circumferential direction, opposite the first circumferential direction, relative to the body.
17. The case as recited in claim 13 , wherein the cap further comprises a conduit:
including a hole;
connected to the nozzle; and,
arranged to engage the stem.
18. The case as recited in claim 17 , wherein the conduit comprises:
an inlet conduit having a first hole, the inlet conduit arranged to engage the stem; and,
an outlet conduit having a second hole, the second hole extending from the first hole to the nozzle.
19. The case as recited in claim 13 , wherein the at least one gusset extends between the top wall and the second lateral wall.
20. The case as recited in claim 13 , wherein:
the bottom wall includes a channel; and,
a hole is formed between an attachment element and the channel.
