Moreover, the upper end of a first cylindrical portion 36g composing the first center hole 36d is arranged in a position lower than the upper end of a second cylindrical portion 36f composing the second center hole 38c. Thereby, when each content is charged in the first space S1 and the second space S2 from the stem 23, sealing which leaves one of the second center hole 36c or the first center hole 36d can be done simply. Hence, each content can be charged securely.
The first stem rubber 24a and the second stem rubber 24b are those which are ring like, and each center hole engaging with the first recessed portion 36a and the second recessed portion 36b while keeping sealing performance.
The fixing member 25 is a cylindrical shaped member tapered so as to become large as the inner face goes upward.

Meanwhile, the second content B charged in the intermediate container reaches the storage B chamber 30b through the slit 33 of the housing, the through hole 33b, and the member through hole 25c of the fixing member.
Further, if the stem 23 is pushed down, the first content A in the storage A chamber 30a is pushed out to outside or to a spout member (not in the figure) from the first center hole 36d through the first stem hole 23a, the second content B in the second storage B chamber is pushed out to outside or to a spout member from the second center hole 36c through the second stem hole 23b.
Next, the manufacturing method of this aerosol container 10 is described using
In this embodiment, a ring like shaped seal member 37 is provided between the curbed flange 21a and the flange portion 12a. Hence, the curved flange 21a, the seal member 37, and the flange portion 12a are piled. However, seal performance may be secured by crushing the flange portion 12a of the intermediate container 12 without using the seal member 37. In this state, a propellant P is charged in the space between the outer container 11 and the intermediate container 12 from the lower side of the flange portion 12a of the intermediate container 12 (arrow head direction, under cup charge). And, together with the charge of the propellant P, the mounting cup 21 of the valve 14 is cramped to the outer container 11, the valve 14 is fixed to the outer container 11, thereby the aerosol product is manufactured (refer to
As the content to be charged in the aerosol container 10, contents which reacts by mixing two contents such as two-liquid type hair dyes, two-liquid type permanent wav agents, to liquid type adhesive agents can be preferably cited. Particularly, when a two-liquid type dye is charged, from the point that the shielding effect of two liquids is easy to obtain, it is preferable that an alkaline first agent is housed in the inner container (the first space S1), and an acid second agent is housed in the intermediate container (the second space). However, even if it is inverse, the effect of the present invention can be exerted.
Moreover, as the propellant, compressed gas such as nitrogen gas, carbon dioxide gas, nitrous oxide gas, compressed air, and mixed gas of those, liquefied gas such as liquefied petroleum gas, dimethyl ether, hydrofluoro-olefin, hydrofluorocarbon, and mixed gas of those can be cited.

In the mounting cover 130, it is preferable to provide a reinforcing rib for raising pressure resistance (refer to
Since the outer container 11 is made of synthetic resin, even if the second content B is housed directly, the inside face thereof is hard to be corroded. As the outer container 11, synthetic resin having translucency can be adopted. In this case, the remaining quantity of the second content B can be checked by eyes. Further, the remaining quantity of the first content A also can be estimated by the degree of bulge of the inner container 13. The outer container 11 can be shaped by biaxial stretch blow molding using synthetic resin such as polyethylene terephthalate, nylon, polypropylene. However it may be shaped by injection molding. The outer container 11 may be provided with a vapor-deposited film such as carbon, oxidized aluminum, silica in the inner face and or the outer face to suppress the permeation of the second content B and the propellant agent.
In this aerosol product 125 also, since the metal foil layer of the inner container 13 is not exposed outside, the metal foil layer does not directly contact the second content B. Hence the corrosion of the metal foil layer is prevented. Moreover, since two valves 126, 127 can open and close the path through which the first content A and the second content B flow, the structure of each valve is simple. Moreover, with the first valve 126 and the second valve 12, the ratio of the discharge amount of the first content A and the second content B can be adjusted. The ratio of the discharge amount of the first content A and the second content B can be adjusted in the range, for example, 1:1 to 1:5 by selecting the size of the stem hole and the hole of the bottom of the housing.
