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.

An aerosol actuator having an operating cap and a base cap, where the operating cap interfaces with the aerosol valve of an aerosol dispenser and is rotatable between a locked position which prohibits dispensing of the aerosol product and an unlocked position that allows dispensing of an aerosol product via tilting action of the operating cap, is presented. The operating cap is equipped with a plurality of fins positionable over a plurality of blocking surfaces and slots in the base cap, where rotation in one direction locks the operating cap and prevents actuation and consequent dispensing of an aerosol product and rotation in an opposite direction allows for operation of the cap and consequently the dispensing of an aerosol product.

A valve for a container for dispensing pressurized fluid has a housing which is mounted on a valve cup, a hollow stem provided in a passage of the housing which stem has at least one lateral inlet opening at its lower end and an outlet opening at its upper end. The lower end of the stem is ball-shaped and forms a ball joint with a correspondingly ball-shaped ball socket being part of the housing, wherein the upper part of the housing is provided with sealing means and the stem is tiltable between a closed position and an open position.

A barrier package aerosol container includes a can, valve, and piston disposed in the interior volume of the can. The piston is movable toward a top end of the can to facilitate dispensing of flowable material in the can. Opposing surfaces of the piston and the can and the valve define an interstitial space of the interior volume in which the flowable product is receivable. The piston is contacts at least one of the interior surface of the can at its top end and the valve, to define a piston interface when the piston is at the top end of the can during use. At least one of the piston, the can, and the valve defines one or more flow passages at the piston interface to allow flowable material in the interstitial space to flow through the piston interface toward the valve inlet during use.

Formulation and dispenser systems create dairy based toppings for beverages. The dispensers include a container, valve, and an actuator for the valve. The formulations include a liquid product and a propellant. The liquid product includes a certain percentage of milkfat provided, for example, by heavy cream, skim milk, nonfat dry milk, sweeteners, and an emulsifier. The propellant is nitrous oxide or nitrogen.
