A novel and useful mixture cartridge apparatus for a shaving lather dispenser apparatus incorporates a mixture cartridge having a body with first and second openings, a cavity in communication with the first and second openings, and a first fluid control valve. The cavity is configured to contain a liquid shaving lather solution. The first fluid control valve is configured to control a flow of the fluid through the second opening. The first fluid control valve is configured to be opened to provide flow of the liquid shaving lather solution through the second opening when coupled to an actuator of a lather dispenser. The first opening is configured to equalize pressure within the cavity with atmospheric pressure.

The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery devices, elements of such devices, and methods for producing vapor. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides devices configured for vaporization of an aerosol precursor composition that is contained in and transported to a heating element by a unitary reservoir and liquid transport element. The unitary reservoir and liquid transport element may include a porous monolith.

An aerosol device having a bowl with a bottom defining a drain, and a side wall extending from the bottom to a rim. A nozzle is disposed within the bowl. The nozzle defines a chamber and an outlet orifice directed toward the side wall of the bowl. The aerosol device includes a liquid container fluidly coupled to the nozzle via a first conduit having an outlet tip disposed within the chamber of the nozzle and a second conduit connecting a source of pressurized gas to the chamber of the nozzle. The outlet tip is in the form of a tube defining elongated slots communicating from inside the tube to outside the tube, the slots each having a width defined between two parallel tube surfaces. The aerosol device generates submicron liquid droplets, and is suitable for disinfecting porous articles in an enclosed volume.

A method of warming food dispensable from an aerosol dispenser. The aerosol dispenser is made from materials which can go into a single recycling stream having a single class of materials, as defined by the Society of the Plastics Industry, and particularly may exclusively comprise Class 1 materials suitable for eating in a microwave oven. Consumer products, such as food, contained in the aerosol dispenser may be heated in a microwave oven prior to dispensing. Upon dispensing, food retains residual heat, and is suitable for eating or further cooking. Other heated products in the aerosol dispenser may be comfortably applied to the skin, used as air freshener, used for cleaning, etc. The aerosol dispenser may have indicia indicating the aerosol dispenser is suitable for microwave heating. The aerosol dispenser can have indicia indicating the aerosol dispenser is suitable for heating in a microwave oven. The indicia may be thermochromic, indicating when a desired temperature has been reached. The aerosol dispenser can have a safety valve, to safely relieve product and/or propellant pressure upon overpressurization in a microwave oven. The safety valve may be single use or reusable.
