A manually operated applicator for spraying and dispensing expanding foam chemicals from aerosol containers is provided. The applicator dispenses compressed gas in close proximity to the foam as the foam exits the applicator, which results in improved adhesion of the foam to surfaces. The applicator includes a nozzle, an aerosol inlet for connection to an aerosol container, a gas inlet for connection to a source of compressed gas, and a trigger for operation of the applicator. The nozzle includes outlets for dispensing the foam and the compressed gas.

A system includes processing circuitry and a drone. The drone includes a dispenser subassembly that includes a housing comprising an aerosol dispensing system and configured to receive a syringe such that an applicator of the syringe is positioned distally from the housing; a trigger that is positioned in contact with a nozzle of the aerosol dispensing system; an actuator arm; and an actuator motor configured to move the actuator arm in a reciprocating motion. Control logic of the drone is configured to navigate, based on navigation instructions received from the processing circuitry, the drone to an area associated with an object of potential survey interest (OoPSI) such that the applicator of the syringe or the nozzle of the aerosol dispensing system is proximate to the area associated with the OoPSI.

A dispensing device includes a container, wherein a bottom surface of the container includes a container opening to the interior storage; first and second tracks located below the bottom surface of the container on opposing sides of the container opening; first and second sliding members that engage with the first and second tracks, respectively; a bowl support connected to the first and second sliding members, and wherein the bowl support is configured to move between a filling position and a serving position; and a lever including a lever body including a first lever end and a second lever end. When the first lever end is in a first position, the bowl support is in the filling position. When the first lever end is in a second position, the bowl support is in the serving position.

This content-accommodating container comprises: a container body having an opening at the top end; and a valve-accommodating part for closing the opening, the valve-accommodating part being fixed to the container body. The valve-accommodating part is provided with: a cylindrical housing part accommodated inside the container body; a tube part extending downward from the housing part, the lower end thereof being disposed near the bottom side of the container body; and a first sealing part for closing the bottom end of the tube part.

An adaptor including a lower fitting including a central axial opening including a pin valve, a lower travel stop, a lower crimp ring seating surface, an upper fitting including a male thread, a seating radius configured to conform with a curled lip of the aerosol can, an upper travel stop, configured to contact the lower travel stop during assembly, an upper crimp ring seating surface, a crimp ring configured to rest between the lower crimp ring seating surface and the upper crimp ring seating surface and configured to compressed in the axial direction while simultaneously expanding in the radial direction during installation.

A product dispenser includes a housing adapted to receive a refill unit having a product reservoir. A multidirectional pushbar is carried by the housing and movable in a plurality of directions to actuate the pump. The multidirectional pushbar may be carried by a collar pivotally secured around a pushbar support member in the shape of a spherical zone. Pivoting movement of the multidirectional pushbar is converted into an actuating force by a transfer mechanism, which may include a vertically movable carriage. In other embodiments, the multidirectional pushbar may include ramped surfaces and may support a carriage having rolling elements. Lateral movement of the multidirectional pushbar causes the carriage to roll up the ramped surfaces and actuate a pump to dispense a product.

The present disclosure relate to an actuator assembly for an aerosol can. The assembly includes a body attachable to a can and a disc provided with two opposing levers. The disc is hinged to the body and generally overlies a valve provided on the aerosol can. When either lever is depressed, a valve socket on the bottom of the disc engages the valve of the aerosol can to discharge pressurized liquid through a port formed through the disc. One of the levers is provided with a catching member that engages and selectively locks onto a latch provided on the body so that the lever is captured in a depressed position to cause the continuous discharge of liquid from the can. The captured lever can be released to discontinue discharge of liquid by pressing the other lever.

A dispensing canister apparatus for controlled release of a stored fluid includes first and second thermochromic clips for providing a visual indication of the ambient air temperature; a hose member surrounding a channel and having first and second open ends, and the first open end being connected to the canister such that the channel is in fluid flow communication with the inner cavity; a control on the canister for selectively actuating the flow of the stored fluid from the inner cavity into the channel and through a coupler member at the second open end of the hose member; and wherein storage of the first thermochromic clip in the first receptacle positions the fastening member such that it obstructs movement of the control for actuating the flow of the stored fluid.

A dispensing device for attaching to a container having a valve stem includes: (a) a hollow tube having a flow channel defined by a wall extending between entrance and exit ends with a connector on the entrance end for connecting to the valve stem; (b) a sleeve extending slidably over a portion of the hollow tube, the sleeve extending over, and having an opening proximate to, the hollow tube's exit end; (c) a sealing gasket around the outside of the hollow tube and between the hollow tube and the sleeve that prevents fluid communication past the gasket between the hollow tube and sleeve; (d) a trigger mount rigidly attached to the hollow tube or container; (e) a trigger hingedly connected at a first location to the trigger mount and operatively engaged with the sleeve at a second location; and (f) an elastic element between the trigger and the hollow tube and/or container.
