This invention relates to apparatus and devices that generate sclerosing microfoams for the treatment of venous disorders, such as varicose veins. The invention includes adaptors which provide fluid connections to microfoam generating devices, to enable filling with gas and/or dispensing of the microfoam produced. The adaptors are generally cylindrical elements with open ends to enable attachment to pressurisable container on one end and are configured to enable rapid and easy attachment of a filling means or a dispensing means through the other end of the adaptor.

A particular configuration comprises three or more circumferentially and downward extending cam tracks which cooperate with corresponding cams on the filling means or dispensing means and which connect a pressurisable container to a fluid path of a filling or dispensing means when the pressurisable container and filling or dispensing means are rotated relative to each other.

A two-piece nozzle for an aerosol dispenser has an outer piece with a tubular wall open on one side and closed on the other by a front wall (122), forming a cavity, with an outlet opening (123) in a center of the front wall; an inner piece dimensioned to penetrate into the cavity of the outer piece and be retained there, piece; channels (112, 125) in the cavity of the outer piece and/or on the surface of the inner piece, wherein said channels open into a turbulence chamber (127) in communication with the outlet opening placed downstream in the flow path of the product flow; and a protrusion (113, 114) in the center of the front face of the inner piece, whose free portion opposite the front face, called torpedo (114) penetrates into the outlet opening (123) to reduce its cross section and form an annular outlet orifice.

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.

An apparatus and method of restricting entry velocity into a tank is provided. To this end, a throttle plate is utilized to reduce circulation turbulence and significantly reduce the probability of damage to fragile articles undergoing deglazing, defrosting, washing or other circulation within a fluid tank. The throttle plate includes a main body with a top, bottom, and opposing sides and is configured to interface with a wash tank in a variety of throttle plate conditions. The main body of the throttle plate sits substantially against an interior wall of the wash tank, partially obscuring one or more inward flowing jets associated with the wash tank. Such obscuring dampens or throttles the flow of water from the jets into the wash tank. The throttle plate is adjustable; thus, a user of the wash tank can utilize the throttle plate to selectively control the flow of water into the tank.

A flow modulation device 300 for controlling a rheological state of a dispensed pressurized fluid includes a porous element 304 and an exit tube. The porous element 304 is in fluid communication with a distal end of an outlet tube 303 and receives pressurized fluid in a first rheological state. The porous element 304 includes a plurality of channels that divide a flow channel into a plurality of flow paths through which the pressurized fluid flows and that modulates the flow of the pressurized fluid. The exit tube 305 includes proximal end 355 and distal end 345 and an intermediate body including a sidewall 365 defining a hollow internal lumen 375. The exit tube 305 is in fluid communication with the porous element 304 and receives the modulated pressurized fluid from the plurality of flow paths and refocuses the fluid to dispense the pressurized fluid in a second rheological state.

An aerosol hairspray product includes a pressurisable container having a propellant and a container wall which encloses a reservoir, a hairstyling formulation having from 20 wt % to 75 wt % alcohol, by total weight of the hairstyling formulation and propellant and from 1.0 wt % to wt % hairstyling polymer, by total weight of the hairstyling formulation and propellant, and a spraying device attached to the pressurisable container and having a valve and an actuator. The reservoir is configured to store the hairstyling formulation. The valve has a spring means, a valve body having a stem, a restricted tail piece (RTP) having a first diameter of from 0.1 mm to 2.5 mm, and a vapour phase tap (VPT) having a second diameter of from 0.1 mm to 1.5 mm. The actuator has a main spray channel and communicates with an insert.

Provided is a cup shaped nozzle member and dispensing package assembly for dispensing or spraying a pumped or pressurized fluid drawing from a transportable container to generate a spray of fluid. The cup-shaped nozzle member mounted in said dispensing package and including a plurality of interaction chambers defined within the distal end wall wherein each interaction chamber defines a fluid channel that terminates distally in an exit orifice. At least one distally projecting platform rib member spaced from and proximate to said first discharge orifice along an outer surface of the distal end wall, wherein said distally projecting platform rib member has a selected distally projecting length which is at least as great as the length of the first distally projecting protuberance.

Provided are an ejection member and an aerosol product using the same capable of obtaining a desired shape of an ejection material by suppressing adhesion of the ejection ejection materials to each other. An ejection member to be connected to an aerosol container filled with a foaming content is provided with an expansion chamber for promoting foaming of the foaming content from the aerosol container and a plurality of nozzles for ejecting the foaming content in the expansion chamber to the outside. The expansion chamber is provided with an introduction port for introducing the foaming content from the aerosol container and a delivery port for delivering the foaming content to the nozzle side. The nozzles each have a slit-shaped ejection port. The communication path that communicates the ejection port and the delivery port has a slit-shaped slit portion. A length of the slit portion in the ejection direction is greater than a slit width of the ejection port.

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.
