Abstract
A perfume sprayer includes a left half housing consisting of an upper and a lower cap, a right half housing consisting of an upper and a lower cap, a gasket in the left upper cap, a control member deposited on the gasket, a perfume bottle contained in a bag and placed in the left lower cap. A spray head fixed on the bottle has a spray nozzle in a recess of the left upper cap. After the two half housings are combined together and when the left and the right lower caps are pressed, the bottom of the bottle is pushed up by push blocks of the two lower caps to force the bottle move up along the push blocks and then the spray nozzle sprays the perfume out of the spray head. Thus, the perfume sprayer is easy to use and to carry out, a beautiful configuration.
Description




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




1. Field of the Invention




This invention relates to a perfume sprayer, particularly to one provided with an left half housing consisting of a left upper cap and a left lower cap, and a right half housing consisting of a right upper cap and a right lower cap, a bag contained in the left lower cap and a bottle placed in the bag. In using the perfume sprayer, pressing manually the left lower cap and the right lower cap, the perfume stored in the bottle is sprayed out upward, very convenient to use and carry along.




2. Description of the Prior Art




Common conventional press-type perfume bottles generally have a press-type spray head and a sucking tube connected with the spray head and extending in the perfume in a perfume bottle so as to spray the perfume out. However, the conventional press-type perfume bottles have a cap added to prevent the spray head from pressed by error, and the cap may fall to break or wear off owing to frequent pressing or excessive force in pressing, not so convenient to use.




SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION




The objective of the invention is to offer a perfume sprayer convenient to carry along and use.




The feature of the invention is a left half housing consisting of a left upper and a left lower cap, a right half housing consisting of a right upper and a right lower cap combined with the left half housing to form a complete housing of a perfume sprayer.




When the left lower cap and the right lower cap are pressed, a perfume bottle controlled immovable by a control member is released from the control member to move up to protrude out of an upper hole of the housing, and a spray nozzle of a spray head deposited on a perfume bottle contained in a bag may spray out the perfume contained in the perfume bottle positioned in chambers of the left lower cap and the right lower cap. When the perfume sprayer is no longer used, the control member is rotated to keep the bottle immovable, becoming impossible to spray the perfume out.

can rotate with the rod


15


as a pivot, letting the stud


50


of the gasket


5


engaging with one of the position recesses


63


in the pull block


60


to keep the gasket


5


immovable. Then put the bag


8


in the chamber


20


of the left lower cap

extending out of the chamber


10


of the left upper cap


1


, and with the spray nozzle


900


located in the recessed groove


12


, and with the stop rod


62


fitting in the neck


92


. Next, the right upper cap


3


and the right lower cap


4


are combined together pivotally in the same way the right upper cap


1


and the left lower cap


2


are combined together, forming the right half housing. Then the left half housing and the right half housing are combined with each other to form a complete housing, with the insert rod


34


inserting in the insert groove


16


, with the insert block


110


of the circumferential edges


11


of the left upper cap


1


inserting in the insert groove


310

62


separate from the neck


92


of the bottle


9


and the stud


50


of the gasket


5


fit in one of the position recesses


63


(also

FIGS. 3 and 4

referred). Next, manually press the left lower cap


2


and the right lower cap


4


, forcing the push blocks


24


and


44


push up the bottle


9


along the sloping surface


910


. Thus the spray nozzle


900


of the bottle


9


can spray the perfume out of the bottle


9


as shown in

FIGS. 4

,


5


and


6


. Provided the perfume sprayer is no longer to be used, just rotate the pull block


60


of the control member


6


, letting the stop rod


62


move to fit in the neck


92


of the bottle


9


, with the stud


50


of the gasket


5


engage with one of the position recesses


63


as shown in FIG.


3


. Then the perfume sprayer cannot be pressed to spray the perfume out of the bottle.




The perfume sprayer in the invention has the following advantages, as can be understood from the aforesaid description.




1. It is easy to assemble and disassemble, and convenient to replace the bottle with a new one.




2. The bottle can be positioned in the bag stably, permitting the whole perfume sprayer carried with convenience for use.
