A pump dispenser includes an actuator having at least one outward projection and a rotatable actuating collar at least partially surrounding the actuator and having at least one ramp rib defining a lower surface which engages the at least one outward projection such that rotation of the rotatable actuating collar acts on the actuator to dispense a product from or through the pump dispenser.

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 shaving aid application apparatus is disclosed. According to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the apparatus includes a containing portion configured to hold a shaving aid; a head coupled to one side of the containing portion, an aid applying surface formed at one surface of the head; and multiple jetting holes located at the aid applying surface. A spraying gap is defined between at least a portion of the containing portion and at least a portion of the head, and the shaving aid is expelled from the containing portion to pass through the spraying gap and provided through the multiple jetting holes.

The invention relates to a hair treatment process comprising the application to the hair of a composition comprising at least one fatty substance using an aerosol device comprising: a container containing the composition and one or more propellants, it being possible for the propellant(s) to be present in the composition or, in the container, separate from the composition, a means for dispensing said composition comprising: a body (3) that is open at its two opposite axial ends, an engaging part (10) that is open at its two opposite axial ends, at least partially defining a dispensing orifice (12).

The present invention is an aerosol container with an easy-to-operate push button which requires minimal strength to operate push button and hence operable by children and people having less strength. Aerosol container includes a main body, a nozzle, a pipe and an actuating mechanism. Actuating mechanism includes a valve operable by a push button and a release spring. Valve is in connection with an internal body portion of pipe and selectively permits flow of aerosol from main body to nozzle upon actuation of push button disposed in-line with valve, transverse to pipe and externally of main body. As push button is disposed centrally of main body, children or people with less strength or suffering from illness like Parkinson are easily able to push the push button.

A case for securing an aerosol canister, including a body, including, a lateral wall having a top edge and a bottom edge, and a bottom wall connected to the lateral wall proximate the bottom edge, and an attachment means engageable with the bottom wall.

A spray canister holding apparatus that includes a collar for connecting to a spray canister, made of a non-continuous circular gripping structure having at least one opening along a circumference of the circular gripping structure, a lever arm rotation member, a vertical backing member attached to a posterior continuous portion of the circular gripping structure and extending upwards from the circular gripping structure, and a wire support opening connected to the circular gripping structure. The apparatus also includes a lever arm on the collar, a connecting wire attached to the lever arm, a handgrip attached to the connecting wire, and a discharging nodule appended to the lever arm, where the discharging nodule acts on a spray canister dispenser button.

An aerosol actuator, delivery system, and a method. The actuator includes a plunger and a housing for engagement with an activation valve for controlling delivery of an aerosol from an aerosol container. A channel extends through the plunger from a front to a bottom side. The channel defines a ventral opening along a front side and a dorsal opening along a bottom side. The dorsal opening is configured to receive and be supported by a stem of an activation valve of an aerosol container against the top side wall of an upper sidewall of the housing. A partial opening of a bore along a top side of the upper sidewall and a sliced opening formed along a back side allows the plunger to fit through to the inside of the upper sidewall. A releasable holding mechanism extends along a bore in a lower sidewall of the housing.

A method of dispensing a textured foam from an aerosol container. The aerosol foam dispenser has a pressurizable outer container and an actuator. The actuator has a nozzle surface with one or more shaping orifices. The method can have a shape factor index from about 0.11 to about 1.

An aerosol foam dip tube dispenser with an axis of symmetry with a pressurizable outer container for storing a propellant and a composition under pressure and an actuator. The aerosol dispenser is ergonomic and promotes upright dispensing in order to avoid degassing.
