The present invention relates to a nebulizer, such as a spray can, for the topical application of a liquid and/or solid to a surface. The nebulizer is characterized by a valve comprising a mixing chamber designed for forming a colloidal mixture comprising a dispersed phase consisting of a liquid and/or a solid substance and a continuous phase consisting of a propellant gas before delivering the colloidal mixture to the nozzle. The invention also relates to a method for the topical cooling of the skin of a person or animal. In addition, the invention relates to various other uses of the device.

A handheld combustion powered fastening tool may include a driving system that drives fasteners into workpieces in response to combustion of fuel by the driving system. A fuel delivery system may supply fuel to the driving system. The fuel delivery system may include a fuel canister storing liquid fuel, such as liquid hydrocarbons such as propane, and all direction valve, supplying fuel from the fuel canister to the driving system for combustion. The valve may supply fuel to the driving system in a multiplicity of orientations of the valve/canister/tool, allowing the tool to be operable in a plurality of different orientations, including an upright orientation and an inverted orientation.

A valve (100) for aerosol container (200) comprising a housing (104), a stem (102) fastened to a mounting cup (106) by a stem gasket (103), a stem venturi (111) connecting stem (102) to the housing cavity (112), a spring (105), a push-button (actuator) (101) at the top of the stem (102), the said push-button (actuator) 101 having an orifice (110) and a diptube (107) at the bottom of the housing (104) characterized in that at least three housing venturi (108) connect different points of the housing (104) to the inner space of the aerosol container (200) so as to keep the housing cavity (112) flooded with material/product at any angle, position and direction of the aerosol container (200).

A blank of foldable sheet material is provided. The blank includes a bottom panel, a first bottom side panel and a second opposing bottom side panel extending from opposing side edges of the bottom panel, and a front panel extending from a front edge of the bottom panel. The front panel includes opposing side edges. The blank also includes a first and a second diagonal panel extending from a front edge of the first and second bottom side panels, respectively, and a third and a fourth diagonal panel extending from each side edge of the front panel. The third and fourth diagonal panels have a length greater than a length of the first and second diagonal panels. The blank includes a first and a second corner panel, wherein the first corner panel is hingedly connected to the first and third diagonal panels and the second corner panel is hingedly connected to the second and fourth diagonal panels.

A pressurized dispenser includes a base and a peripheral wall having an open end sealed by a dispensing element comprising a dip-tube, a fluid reservoir in contact with the dip-tube for reducing the compressed gas lost from the pressurized dispenser, a compressed gas and a dispensing liquid. In embodiments, a majority of the fluid reservoir may be located outside of the dip-tube, and the fluid reservoir may include a porous material, arranged in use to hold a volume of the dispensing liquid. Such porous material may be configured so that, in use, at least a portion of any compressed gas in the reservoir can be displaced by the liquid, ejecting such portion of the compressed gas into the dispenser. In embodiments, the dispensing element may be configured to dispense dispensing liquid continuously for at least 0.5 seconds, upon actuation of the dispensing element.
