To provide a sprayer with high safety, specifically, a sprayer from which a component to be sprayed is incombustible and which imposes less environmental burden. A sprayer comprising a container, a propellant composition containing 1-chloro-2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene contained in the interior of the container, and a spray unit to spray the propellant composition to the outside of the container, wherein the propellant composition to be sprayed satisfies (1) in a predetermined combustion test, the propellant composition to be sprayed is evaluated to “have no combustibility”, and (2) the global warming potential (100 years) in accordance with Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Fifth assessment report, is less than 10, throughout the entire period over which the sprayer is used.

A device is described for facilitating the preparation of therapeutic foam e.g. for the treatment of varicose veins. A pressurised vial contains a sclerosant liquid, e.g., polidocanol solution, and a sterile gas which is readily absorbed by the body, e.g., carbon dioxide, oxygen or a mixture of these gases. The vial is provided either with a specialised stopper/seal into which a syringe nozzle may be inserted or alternatively a septum seal which may be penetrated by a hypodermic needle. The quantities of gas and liquid and the pressure in the vial are pre-set so that, on connection of a syringe to the vial, a predetermined volume of both gas and liquid is transferred to the syringe, with the intention that the syringe is then used to make a foam by known means. The use of the vial ensures that the ratio of gas to liquid in the foam is standardised, and also provides a convenient way of packaging the gas and liquid and of filling the syringe in a sterile manner.

An aerosol hairspray product for styling and/or shaping hair wherein the product comprises: a container; a spraying device; a propellant; a hairstyling formulation comprising: (a) at least about 50% water; and (b) from about 0.01% to about 20% of a hairstyling polymer, wherein the hairstyling polymer is selected from the group consisting of: acrylates copolymers of two or more monomers of (meth)acrylic acid or one of their simple esters; acrylates/hydroxyesters acrylates copolymers of butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, methacrylic acid, ethyl acrylate and hydroxyethyl methacrylate; polyurethane-14/AMP-acrylates polymer blend; and mixtures thereof. The product comprises about 2% or less alcohol, or is substantially free of alcohol, and the product comprises 54% or less VOC.

An aerosol-generating system may include a device body and a cartridge configured to be removably inserted into or connected to the device body. The device body may include a power supply and an electrical heater connected to the power supply. The cartridge contains an aerosol-forming substrate in the form of a thermoreversible gel that is a solid at room temperature.

Two sub-methods are used together to produce a nozzle unit for a liquid dispenser. The methods include adding a nozzle plate into a nozzle channel of a nozzle unit using an assembly tool which elastically expands the nozzle channel. The assembly tool is inserted in the nozzle channel and expands same, thus moving the nozzle plate into its final position where it remains after the assembly tool is removed. The methods also include attaching a filter to a nozzle unit carrier. In a preparation step, a flat filter material is positioned on the end face of the carrier. Only after the filter material is positioned and a connection of the filter material to the end face is established, a separation process is carried out by which the filter material is cut to surround the end face. The filter material positioned on the end face and cut in situ remains.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a combustion-powered fastener driving tool fuel cell assembly including a fuel cell, fuel cell adapter, and fuel cell adapter cap for a combustion-powered fastener driving tool. The fuel cell, the fuel cell adapter, and the fuel cell adapter cap enable both the fuel cell adapter and the fuel cell adapter cap to be attached to a fuel cell and particularly a sealing member of the fuel cell in one efficient step. This single step process can be done manually or automatically, and is substantially more efficient and less time-consuming than the known fuel cell assemblies.

A dispenser for a pressurised container provided with a valve, provided with: a base body having a finger tab which can be actuated by the user in order to actuate the valve, and having an output opening intended for the output of the product of the container. An outlet pipe, placed in the base body, has a passage between a first end configured to cooperate with the valve of the container, and a second end configured for the output of the product and corresponding with the outlet opening. The base body includes a connection hole remote from the outlet opening. The connection hole passes between an outer surface and an inner surface of the base body and is configured to facilitate a fastening of the outlet pipe so that the outlet pipe can be hooked to the base body.

A dispenser for a pressurised container provided with a valve, provided with a base body having a finger tab intended to be pressed by the user in order to actuate the valve, and having an output opening intended for the output of a product contained in the container. The dispenser includes an output pipe placed in the base body, which output pipe has a first end configured to cooperate with the valve of the pressurised container, and a second end configured for the output of the product contained in the pressurised container. The output pipe is coupled to the base body so that the second end of the output pipe is substantially facing the output opening of the base body. At least one part of the base body is manufactured from recycled material. The output pipe is manufactured from a material different from the recycled material.

An apparatus and method of restricting entry velocity into a tank is provided. To this end, a throttle plate is utilized to reduce circulation turbulence and significantly reduce the probability of damage to fragile articles undergoing deglazing, defrosting, washing or other circulation within a fluid tank. The throttle plate includes a main body with a top, bottom, and opposing sides and is configured to interface with a wash tank in a variety of throttle plate conditions. The main body of the throttle plate sits substantially against an interior wall of the wash tank, partially obscuring one or more inward flowing jets associated with the wash tank. Such obscuring dampens or throttles the flow of water from the jets into the wash tank. The throttle plate is adjustable; thus, a user of the wash tank can utilize the throttle plate to selectively control the flow of water into the tank.
