A fluid storage system includes a container defining an interior space that lacks an internal valve. A product and a propellant are stored under pressure within the interior space. A container cap includes a membrane that encloses a space defined by a coupling element, which includes a releasable fastener that releasably couples a fluid dispensing apparatus to the container. The container cap also includes a dip tube comprising a proximate end that extends at least partially into the space defined by the coupling element, and a distal end that protrudes from the space in a direction generally away from the container cap, into the interior space defined by the container. The dip tube defines an interior passage extending between the proximate end and the distal end through which the product is to be expelled from the container by the propellant.

An object of the present invention is to provide an aerosol product for forming a warming cream composition which is capable of achieving excellent dispersion stability of hydration exothermic substance powder and of easily forming a warming cream composition having a sufficient warming effect. The aerosol product of the present invention includes a double structure container provided with a discharging mechanism for simultaneously discharging contents filled in the two liquid concentrate filling spaces. The propellant filling space is filled with a propellant composed of compressed gas. The first liquid concentrate filling space is filled with a composition, which includes hydration exothermic substance powder dispersed in a liquid medium containing a polyhydric alcohol and a higher alcohol and having a viscosity (at 20° C.) of 1000 to 10000 mPa.Math.s, containing 10 to 40% by mass of the hydration exothermic substance powder, and 0.05 to 20% by mass of the higher alcohol, and having a viscosity (at 20° C.) of 1000 to 125000 mPa.Math.s. The second liquid concentrate filling space is filled with a composition containing water and 0.1 to 10% by mass of a viscosity modifier.

An aerosol generator device has an elongate body with an interior passageway extending longitudinally to its mouth end. The device receives an interchangeable, pressurized canister charged with a nicotine containing liquid that is discharged in a metered dose on manual actuation of a button member that causes a valve in the canister to open and discharge through a discharge tube. A sleeve releasably couples the canister to the body. The button member is slidably mounted on the body for reciprocal movement along a trigger axis Y-Y′ extending transversely of the longitudinal axis X-X′ of the device, and has a manually depressible surface portion and a camming surface portion that drives a slidable nozzle member to press the discharge tube inwardly of the canister to open its valve and release liquid into the nozzle member. Nozzle forms an aerosol from the liquid, which is delivered to the consumer through outlets in the mouth end of the device.

The invention relates to a hair treatment process comprising the application to the hair of a composition comprising at least one fatty substance using an aerosol device comprising:—a container containing the composition and one or more propellants, it being possible for the propellant(s) to be present in the composition or, in the container, separate from the composition,—a means for dispensing said composition comprising:—a body (3) that is open at its two opposite axial ends,—an engaging part (10) that is open at its two opposite axial ends, at least partially defining a dispensing orifice (12).

A fluid dispensing apparatus may be used to dispense a fluid from a container that is under pressure and that has a pierceable membrane. The fluid dispensing apparatus may include a valve body having a bore, an adaptor having a bore and a piercing member, and a nozzle having a bore. The fluid dispensing apparatus may be operable to pierce the pierceable membrane to communicate the fluid within the container with the adaptor bore and with the valve body bore. The nozzle may be operable to permit the fluid to flow under the pressure out of the container, through the adaptor bore, through the valve body bore and through the nozzle bore to ambient.

A spray control apparatus for aerosol cans has a can coupling cap with a segmented and discontinuous aerosol can engaging ring. The cap top lip has a locking ledge having a bearing surface facing away from the can engaging ring, a cam track having a bearing surface facing toward the can engaging ring, and a guide slot therebetween. A plurality of generally planar reinforcing ribs radiate inwardly from the cap side wall. An actuator is concentrically within the cap, and has at least one cam protruding radially into the cap top lip. The cam engages the locking ledge bearing surface in a first rotary position and is thereby blocked from axial movement, and engages the cam track bearing surface in a second rotary position and is thereby driven axially toward the can engaging ring, and passes though the guide slot when rotated between the first and second rotary positions.

An aerosol actuator has a main body member, a nozzle member defining an outlet opening, and a selector member. The outlet opening defines a fluid flow direction. The selector member is moved to obtain different fluid spray patterns. The selector member is distal to the nozzle member and the fluid flow direction.
