A valve dispenses flowable product from a container. The valve includes a mounting cup for mounting the valve on the container, a seal supported on the mounting cup, and a valve stem extending through the seal. The seal and the valve stem define a generally annular passage section of the valve passage that extends longitudinally along the valve axis radially between the valve stem and the seal. At least one of the valve stem and the seal includes a baffle extending transverse to the valve axis, the baffle defining a flow restriction along the generally annular passage section.

A safety lid for an aerosol container, including a dome surrounding at least part of a diffuser device and provided with a movable component, which can move between a first position for preventing the operation of the diffuser device, a second position for intermittently activating the diffuser device and a third position for emptying the container. The movable component including means for permanently activating the diffuser device in the third position.

A container comprises a body of plastics material with a “bag-on-valve” arrangement. The bag depends from a valve and contains a post-foaming gel cleansing composition. A propellant is provided in the container outside the bag, so as to exert a pressure on the post-foaming gel cleansing composition in the bag, such that when the valve stem is depressed to open the valve the post-foaming gel cleansing composition is expelled through the valve stem. The container comprises a cap and the cap is provided with a conduit therethrough to guide the composition from the valve stem to an exit orifice. The conduit comprises an expansion chamber for receiving the composition from the valve stem, a neck having a smaller diameter than the expansion chamber for receiving the composition from the expansion chamber, and a nozzle provided with an exit orifice and having a diameter larger than the neck.

A basket for securing a container to a dispenser has a device for connecting the basket with the dispenser and a device for connecting the basket with the container and a cylindrical seat for a valve of the container, wherein the basket provides a fluid connection between the container and the dispenser, wherein the basket provides a grip area for mounting the basket on the dispenser. The grip area is located on the cylindrical seat. The location of the grip area on the cylindrical seat reduces the height of the basket and improves the handling of the dispenser.

To provide a propellant which has sufficient propelling performance and of which a component to be sprayed imposes low environmental burden, a propellant composition and a sprayer. A propellant composition comprising a propellant containing 1-chloro-2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene and a pressurizing agent, and a sprayer comprising the propellant composition, a container in which the propellant composition is contained, and a spray unit to spray the propellant composition to the outside of the container.

The present invention relates to an aerosol device including: —a container containing: —one or more propellants, and —a composition including one or more fixing polymers and/or one or more styling powders including one or more water-insoluble inorganic compounds, the propellant or propellants possibly being present in the composition or in the container, separate from the composition, —an aerosol device for distributing the aerosol composition, including a diffuser having at least three spraying apertures for spraying the composition in a main spraying direction. The invention further provides a method for shaping the hair and/or maintaining the style, including a step of applying to the wet or dry hair a cosmetic composition sprayed from a specific aerosol device.

A dispensing system includes a manifold adapted to be fluidly coupled to a valve stem of a container. The manifold includes first and second members extending outwardly from the manifold. The dispensing system also includes a shroud having first and second shroud portions on opposing sides of the shroud. The dispensing system further includes at least one enclosed track. The enclosed track receives and permits sliding of at least one of the first and second members.

An adapter for a container includes a bracket having an annular sidewall and at least one projection extending interiorly from an external surface of the sidewall, wherein the at least one projection includes a sloped surface.

An attachment mechanism for a container includes a housing with a locking element extending therefrom. At least one opening extends through the locking element to selectively receive a portion of the container. A resilient member is disposed within the locking element.
