Abstract:
An aerosol dual-dispensing shutoff valve adapted to dispense a plurality of separate fluids from separate sources through a common outlet; said valve having automatic shutoff valves sensitive to the respective separate fluid sources, whereby said valves may respond automatically to shutoff all of said sources from said outlet when any one of said sources is substantially depleted.
Abstract:
An automatic shutoff valve for use with aerosol products containers, wherein two separate sources of fluid under pressure may be dispensed in a mixture; the valve of the invention comprising automatic shutoff means in response to a depletion of flow and/or pressure from one source which causes the flow of fluid from another source in the container means to be shut off to thereby prevent dispensation of any fluid from the valve, when one of the fluid sources is depleted.
