Abstract

There is provided an aerosol container for automatic gas release by an easy action at the time of disposal. The aerosol container having a container body and a cap; said container body comprising an upstanding discharge head; said cap comprising a peripheral wall and a top wall and being adapted to fit on an upper part of the container body, a portion of the peripheral wall or the top wall defining a folding plate surrounded by a breaking line and a bendable line such that the folding plate may be bent inwardly about the bendable line after breakage of the breaking line, the cap also comprising a stopper for fixing the folding plate into an inwardly bent position such that when the discharge head is depressed for gas release, the folding plate fixed in the inwardly bent position contacts with a top of the discharge head for maintaining a depressed position thereof, wherein the cap is so configured that an aperture (15) formed by bending the folding plate (17) inwardly acts as a gas release hole and also a finger receiving hole, a size of which is sufficiently great to receive a finger of an user, such that the folding plate (17) is capable of being fixed to the stopper (21) by pushing with the finger for breakage of breaking line (19), and then inserting the same finger further into the aperture (15). <IMAGE>
