An aerosol container suitable for use as an aerosol dispenser. The aerosol container includes at least a valve and product delivery device joined to an outer container. The valve and product delivery device have respective annular welds or other seals joining the valve and product delivery to the outer container. The welds, or other seals may be concentric, with one circumscribing the other, in the same plane or different planes. Suitable product delivery devices include bags and dip tubes.

The present invention relates to a topical spray composition comprising a biologically active vitamin D derivative or analog and a corticosteroid, and its use in the treatment of dermal diseases and conditions.

A fluid dispensing apparatus may be used to dispense a paint fluid from a paint container that is under pressure and that has a pierceable membrane. The fluid dispensing apparatus may include a valve body having a bore, an adaptor having a bore and a piercing member, and a nozzle having a bore. The fluid dispensing apparatus may be operable to pierce the pierceable membrane to communicate the paint within the paint container with the adaptor bore and with the valve body bore. The nozzle may be operable to permit the paint to flow under the pressure out of the paint container, through the adaptor bore, through the valve body bore and through the nozzle bore to ambient.

A cartridge for a viscous-material dispenser includes a cylinder and a plunger axially slidably fitted in the cylinder and dividing the cylinder into a filling chamber and a pressurizing chamber and includes a plurality of solid spacers in an annular gap between the plunger and the cylinder for maintaining a minimum spacing between the plunger and the cylinder. The spacers at least partially define a plurality of passages that fluidically connect the filling and pressurizing chambers and are configured such that a first portion of the viscous material extending from the filling chamber into the plurality of passages forms a seal together with the solid spacers to prevent a second portion of the viscous material located in the filling chamber from entering the plurality of passages.

A valve assembly including a housing with an internally projecting lip that seals against an outer surface of a valve stem inserted through it. A gas inlet is provided above the lip and a liquid inlet is provided below the lip. The lip thus ensures that a gas flow path and a liquid flow path are kept separate until the valve stem is moved to an open position, at which point a liquid inlet hole in the stem is brought into communication with the liquid inlet in the housing and a gas inlet hole in the stem is brought into communication with the gas inlet in the housing for the fluids mix in an outlet conduit in the stem. The arrangement means that there is no contact between the liquid and a sealing gasket, thereby avoiding swelling of the gasket that can cause the stem to stick.

A dual-use, low-pressure spray gun for applying one-component foam as a spray and a bead including a low-pressure canister connector and a low-pressure air hose connector. A system for applying one-component spray foam as a spray and a bead including a dual-use spray gun with a low-pressure canister connector and a low-pressure air hose connector, a compressed air supply and a compressed air hose.

A system and method uses any or all of information of a user and/or user's activity at a second web site, information of the user's friends or other connections at the second web site, or registration information of the user, to determine whether to allow the user to communicate with other users of a first web site, prevent the user from communicating with other users of the first web site, or monitor the user's communications and allow or prevent the user from further communication based on the monitored communications at the first web site.

A dispensing adapter valve including a support structure, a valve stem, a nozzle cap, a tube and an actuator. The a support structure being capable of securably attaching to an aerosol container containing aerosol contents. The valve stem including an inlet and an outlet, and being capable of depressing a pressure valve on the aerosol container allowing the aerosol contents to enter the valve stem through the inlet. The nozzle cap including a nozzle. The tube connecting the nozzle cap to the valve stem. The valve stem, tube and nozzle cap defining an airflow passage capable of allowing the flow of the aerosol contents from the inlet, through the outlet, through the tube, through the nozzle cap and out of the nozzle. The actuator capable of closing or opening a controlled portion of the airflow passage.

The invention relates to a dispenser for dispensing fluids from a fluid container, comprising a dispenser head provided with a dispenser nozzle; a dispenser base, holding the dispenser head, provided with a coupling for connection to the fluid container; and a fluid feed leading from the dispenser nozzle into the dispenser base for connection to the fluid container; wherein the fluid feed is provided with at least one valve. The invention also relates to a fluid container provided with a dispenser as well as a method for dispensing fluids from a fluid container.

A cup/valve assembly for an aerosol container, made up of a cup, a valve body, a stem, a spring, and an inner seal. The stem comprises a bulge on its outer cylindrical face and an inner conduit which has an upper opening at its upper end and at least one lateral orifice at its lower end between the bulge and the upper opening of the inner conduit. The valve body has an opening at its upper end. The valve body is fixed to a central opening (23) of the cup leaving the opening in the cylindrical portion free, and the stem is retained in the valve body by a retaining ring (5) that surrounds, without tightening, the stem, and is fixed to the cup, the inner seal (13) being interposed between the retaining ring (5) and the top edge of the cylindrical portion of the valve body.
