Remainder reducing member

A remainder reducing member that is attached to an interior of a flexible inner bag disposed in an interior of an aerosol container in order to reduce a final remaining amount of content to be discharged,

• the remainder reducing member being constituted by a solid rod-shaped body and comprising:
• an attachment portion attached to an inflow port of said inner bag such that said content can flow therein;
• and
• a guiding portion provided with a plurality of guiding grooves formed in a lengthwise direction of an outer periphery thereof,
• wherein a sectional shape of a part formed with said guiding grooves is uniform in said lengthwise direction,
• an overlap prevention portion is provided in an intermediate position of said guiding portion in said lengthwise direction, said overlap prevention portion being formed to have a sectional shape different from the shape of the part formed with said guiding grooves,
• intermediate grooves are formed respectively between said overlap prevention portion and said guiding portion on either side thereof in a perpendicular direction to said lengthwise direction, and
• at least one connecting groove that connects said intermediate grooves on said respective sides and has a predetermined angle relative to said lengthwise direction is formed in an outer periphery of said overlap prevention portion.

A container, comprising:

• a) an outer container body;
• b) at least one flexible inner bag for containing dispensing content;
• c) a pressurized fluid within said container surrounding said at least one inner bag;
• d) a plurality of remainder reducing members that is located within said at least one flexible inner bag in order to reduce a final remaining amount of the content to be discharged,
• each of said remainder reducing member being constituted by a solid rod-shaped body and comprising:
• an attachment portion attached to an inflow port of said inner bag such that said content can flow therein;
• and
• a guiding portion provided with a plurality of guiding grooves formed in a lengthwise direction of an outer periphery thereof,
• wherein a sectional shape of a part formed with said guiding grooves is uniform in said lengthwise direction, and
• an overlap prevention portion is provided in an intermediate position of said guiding portion in said lengthwise direction, said overlap prevention portion being formed to have a sectional shape different from the shape of the part formed with said guiding grooves, said overlap prevention portion extending into all of said plurality of guiding grooves at the same said intermediate position of said guiding portion in said lengthwise direction such as to prevent overlap of other remainder reducing members within all of said plurality of guiding grooves at the same said intermediate position;
• and
• e) wherein said plurality of remainder reducing members are aligned side-by-side substantially parallel to one another within said container with said overlap prevention portions of each said remainder reducing member being adjacently located at a same height within said container and preventing overlap between said plurality of remainder reducing members.
