A food product dispenser valve which comprises a mounting cup which has a grommet/stem opening formed therein; a grommet defining an axial passageway which extends along an axial length of the grommet and has a sealing edge formed in an upstream end thereof, and a body of the grommet extends through the grommet/stem opening; a valve stem accommodated within the passageway, and the valve stem has a sealing head which is spaced apart from a valve stem shoulder; and a dispensing actuator surrounds a portion of the body of the grommet which extends through the grommet/stem opening, and has a product discharge outlet. The spacing of the sealing head from the valve stem shoulder is less than an axially height of the grommet so that the grommet normally biases the sealing head into sealing engagement with the annular sealing edge to prevent flow through the food product dispenser valve.

A device for dispensing a fluid substance includes a pressurised container associated with a dispensing valve featuring a supply conduit and a stem endowed with a cavity through which the fluid substance is dispensed, a chamber housed inside the container, and arranged so as to surround at least part of the body of the valve, the chamber delimited by a deformable wall and at least part of the body, the valve being of the three-way type, configured so that when the stem is in a first position, the cavity is isolated from the supply conduit and from the chamber, while the supply conduit is in communication with the chamber, wherein when the stem is in a second position, the cavity is in communication with the chamber, and wherein when the stem is in a third position, the cavity of the stem is in communication with at least the supply conduit.

A hydration system maintains a ready supply of hydrating fluid within a sealed system that protects against contamination of the fluid supply and of the user in a CBRN environment. The system includes a fluid container having a removable cap that is equipped with a pressurization system that pressurizes the inside of the fluid container. Pressure inside of the fluid container drives the hydrating fluid, such as water, to an outlet in the cap and onward to a shuttle valve. In an exemplary embodiment, the shuttle valve has an inlet configured for fluid connection to the pressurized container, an outlet configured for connection to a supply line to the user's protective mask, and an intermediate port for connection to a personal hydration carrier carried by the user. The shuttle valve allows for filing of the user's individual water carrier and drinking of that fluid from the water carrier without exposing the hydrating fluid to the CBRN environment, and without requiring the user to disconnect their mask from the system.

The present invention discloses an aerosol container (100) comprising a body (101) divided into a first chamber (10) and a second chamber (20) by a divider (102), in which the first chamber (10) is under atmospheric pressure and configured to receive a customisable content through an inlet (200) at the body (101) either or both during and after production of the aerosol container (100), and the second chamber (20) is under a pressurised environment and prefilled with a pressurised content; wherein the body (101) includes a mechanism (104) which, when activated, acts on the divider (102) so as to allow mixing of the customisable content and pressurised content to form a mixture to be dispensed from the body (101) through an outlet (300).

A carbonation machine may include a carbonation head, a holder that is configured to hold a gas canister, the holder comprising a connector with a socket configured to enable linear insertion of a valve of the canister into the socket, the socket including a seal with at least one lateral opening to enable fluidic flow between one or more laterally oriented ports of the valve and a conduit of the holder while preventing leakage of gas from the fluidic flow, and a holding mechanism configured to hold a lateral projection from the canister after insertion of the valve into the socket such that the valve remains in the socket, and an activation mechanism configured to operate the valve to release the gas from the canister when inserted into the socket so as to enable the gas to flow via the conduit to the carbonation head

The invention comprises an apparatus and/or a method of use thereof for dispensing whipped cream, comprising: a profi including a pressure containment housing, a first receiving port integrated into the pressure containment housing, a dispensing port integrated into the pressure containment housing, and at least a first pressure cartridge containing at least a liquid form of nitrous oxide, where the pressure cartridge includes a pressure gas delivery port and where a connection between the receiving port and the pressure gas delivery port form: (1) a section of a pressure containment unit encompassing contents of the pressure containment housing and the pressure cartridge and (2) an open path between the pressure containment housing and the pressure cartridge.

The present disclosure relates to an aerosol delivery device filling system. The system includes multiple source containers each respectively including a differing aerosol precursor composition. The system further includes a mixing container configured to engage the source containers to receive and mix the aerosol precursor compositions to form a mixed aerosol precursor composition. An aerosol delivery device may engage the mixing container to receive at least a portion of the mixed aerosol precursor composition. A related method for customizing an aerosol precursor composition is also provided.

A method for preparing a sprayable composition, the method comprising, sequentially: (i) providing a composition in a container (10), wherein the composition comprises at least one core component and at least one solvent. wherein the at least one core component comprises at least one polymer or resin; (ii) sealing the container (10); (iii) providing a flammability reducer in the container (10); and (iv) pressurising the container (10) with a gas propellant.

The valve (1) includes a valve body (10) having a cavity and bearing against a seal (40) provided with a central opening, and a seat (20) movable in the cavity, the seat bearing against the seal in the closed position and being spaced apart from the seal in the open position. The seat has a cavity bearing against the seal in the closed position, and spaced apart from the seal in the open position. A rod (60) is fixed in a non-detachable manner in the cavity, forming a seat/rod assembly, which rod is traversed, in its portion located inside the cavity, by windows (612) that open into the outlet channel, the free end of the rod protruding out of the cavity by passing through the central opening of the seal.

The invention comprises an apparatus and/or a method of use thereof for dispensing whipped cream, comprising: a profi including a pressure containment housing, a first receiving port integrated into the pressure containment housing, a dispensing port integrated into the pressure containment housing, and at least a first pressure cartridge containing at least a liquid form of nitrous oxide, where the pressure cartridge includes a pressure gas delivery port and where a connection between the receiving port and the pressure gas delivery port form: (1) a section of a pressure containment unit encompassing contents of the pressure containment housing and the pressure cartridge and (2) an open path between the pressure containment housing and the pressure cartridge.
