Abstract:
A tilting type dispensing valve comprising a cup-shaped valve housing which is covered by a resilient upper annular dischargevalve seat. A hollow valve stem extends through the valve seat and carries an annular valve shoulder inside the housing. The shoulder is engageable with the seat to close off the discharge. Within the housing there is a supporting boss constituting a second valving means on the valve stem, said boss being located below the valve shoulder and being engageable with a recessed lower annular valve seat in an opposite wall of the valve housing to both normally maintain the valve shoulder and upper seat engaged whereby the upper valve is closed, and to simultaneously close the recessed lower valve seat. The stem can be tilted, however, because the shoulder can compress a localized area of the upper valve seat. This separates another portion of the shoulder from the seat whereby liquid can flow from the housing, out through the hollow valve stem. The tilting of the stem also uncovers the lower valve seat. A container connected to the lower valve seat can empty into the valve housing, as well as a large container enclosing the housing, which discharges into the housing through a hole provided in a wall of the housing. Mixing of the liquids occurs in the valve housing.
Abstract:
An aerosol valve assembly including a valve member disposed within a chamber defined by a body, the body being in sealing engagement with a gasket. The valve member is normally biased into engagement with the gasket and has a stem extending through the gasket to define an outlet. The biasing means for maintaining the valve in its normally closed position is a generally flat spring element disposed and supported transversely in the shell and in expansive bearing contact with the lower end of the valve member.
Abstract:
This application describes and illustrates a method of making an aerosol valve tip and stem assembly and the interlocked assembly. The interlocked assembly is comprised of a tip and stem, one being a hard material defining a recess or notch, and the other being of a soft cold-flowable material that is caused to coldflow into the notch when the two members are telescopically assembled. When the members are assembled, the soft cold-flowable material cold-flows into the notch to interlock the members and to make disassembly thereof difficult.
Abstract:
An aerosol valve assemblage comprising a tubular valve housing for disposition within a container, said housing having an end inlet opening and carrying a collector cup the rim and adjoining portions of which are slightly spaced from the valve housing and sealing gasket thereon. The said spacing constitutes a collecting area into which the last amount of liquid product can collect, to be dispensed through the valve housing when the container is in inverted position.
