Abstract

A subdividing apparatus for aerosol container for aerosol contents includes a fixed amount chamber formed in an apparatus body disposed with a stem of the aerosol container, and a piston capable of pressing the aerosol contents introduced in the fixed amount chamber is slidably attached in the apparatus body. A subdividing nozzle that can spray the aerosol contents in the fixed amount chamber is formed as to connect with the apparatus body via a subdividing valve. With the subdividing apparatus, spraying in a fixed amount in a prescribed period can be done with multiple spraying operations from the subdividing nozzle to limit overuse of, e.g., medicines and cosmetics.
