The actuating device is provided for actuating a resilient biased valve means for dispensing the fluid from the fluid container (6) and further comprises an open piston (16) having at least an upper sealing lip (20) which is sealing towards an inner wall of the discharge duct (3). An inner rod (25) is attached to the open piston (16) having a free end (26; 53) for closing the discharge orifice (11). The open piston (16) is biased towards the discharge opening: The actuator head (2) comprises a lever (31) for actuating the open piston (16) towards the entry port of the discharge duct (3).

An aerosol container containing food product, wherein the container is provided with a manually operable discharge device (3), wherein the discharge device (3) includes a coupling structure (10) for connecting the discharge device (3) to the aerosol container (1), wherein the discharge device (3) includes a manually operable actuating member (7) that is positioned in a first position with respect to the coupling structure (10) before initial use, wherein the discharge device (3) includes blocking means (10b) for preventing valve actuating movement of the actuating member (7) when the actuating member (7) is in its first position, wherein the actuating member (7) is movable from the first position to a second position with respect to the coupling structure (10), the second position providing an operating condition of the actuating member (7) for actuating a discharge valve (4) of the container (1) to discharge food product (F), in particular an operating condition wherein the actuating member is manually movable with respect to the container (1) for actuating a valve stem (4a) of the valve, wherein the discharge device includes locking means (7d) for locking the actuating member (7) in its operating condition, the locking means (7d) in particular preventing moving the actuating member back from the second position to the first position.

A pressurizable fluid container apparatus, system and method of use.

A sprocket assembly comprising a mount; and a sprocket having an opening for receiving the mount such that the sprocket can rotate around the mount, the sprocket having a plurality of radially extending fluid pathways extending from the opening to a radially distal edge, wherein the mount includes a manifold for fluid to be supplied to the sprocket, the manifold having a fluid exit channel towards the opening of the sprocket such that each radial pathway in the sprocket is in fluid communication with the manifold over only a part of a rotation of the sprocket about the mount.

An aerosol dispenser is disclosed for actuating an aerosol valve comprising a base and an actuator. A container mount secures the base to an aerosol container. A base opening is in the base. A nozzle coupled to the actuator extends between the aerosol valve and a terminal orifice. An actuator mount secures the actuator to the base. The terminal orifice aligns with the base opening for defining a dispensing position. The terminal orifice is non-aligning with the base opening for defining a non-dispensing position. The actuator is pivotably displaced for positioning the actuator between the dispensing position and the non-dispensing position. A primary base pivot terminator is in the base. A primary actuator pivot terminator is in the actuator. The primary base pivot terminator abuts with the primary actuator pivot terminator for defining an interlock and terminating pivoting of the actuator in the dispensing position.

An actuator is disclosed for actuating an aerosol valve for dispensing an aerosol product from an aerosol container. The actuator comprises an actuator button being rotatable relative to a base for movement between a locked rotational position stop and an unlocked rotational position stop. The actuator button is movable relative to the base for actuating the aerosol valve to dispense the aerosol product when the actuator button is rotated into a unlocked rotational position. The actuator button is inhibited from actuating the aerosol valve when the actuator button is moved into a locked rotational position. In one embodiment, an arcuate projection inhibits unintended movement of the actuator button between the unlocked rotational position and the locked rotational position. In another embodiment, a linear projection inhibits unintended movement of the actuator button between the unlocked rotational position and the locked rotational position.

A fluid dispensing cover is described and which includes a main body defining an internal cavity, and a fluid dispensing passageway which extends through the main body; a selectively movable closure member which is pivotally mounted within the internal cavity and which is normally biased into an occluding position relative to the fluid dispensing passageway, and a movable force transmitting member which is operable to cause the selectively movable closure member to move from a normally occluding position to a non-occluding position so as to facilitate the selective dispensing of a source of fluid through the fluid dispensing aperture.

A tire sealant dispenser matches with an air compressor and contains a body in which chemical fluid (such as tire sealant) is filled, a cap connected on an opening of the body, a drive element configured to urge a punch element to pierce a film, such that an air conduit is in communication with a sealant conduit, pressurized air flows into the body via the air conduit from the air compressor, and the chemical fluid flows out of the sealant conduit.

An oversized actuator and actuator assembly for a plastic vessel (or container) configured to hold a product under pressure, such as, for example, a lotion, cream, spray, ointment, gel or foam. The oversized actuator and actuator assembly are configured to be attached to what is considered to be a common, standard-sized valve cup (typically about 1.0 to 1.5 inches across) fastened to a common or standard-sized neck portion for a plastic vessel. Therefore, the actuator and actuator assembly of the present invention does not require that the shoulder of the plastic vessel to which they are attached have specialized geometry molded into the shoulder or body portions of the plastic vessel in order to hold the actuator or actuator assembly in place on the plastic vessel.

An aerosol product diffuser assembly comprises: a diffuser block (1) comprising an annular casing (2) inside which a cam actuator (3) is mounted axially mobile, a control lever (10) provided with a planar body (12) making it possible to control the diffusion of the aerosol liquid said cam actuator (3) comprising: (i) an axially mobile cam follower plate (4); (ii) an aerosol bottle nozzle housing (5), arranged on the cam follower plate (4); (iii) a duct (6a) connected to the nozzle housing and enabling the liquid to diffuse to a discharge point of the aerosol liquid, the control lever (10) being pivotably mounted on the annular casing (2), and the cam actuator (3) being able to be pushed axially towards the aerosol bottle by at least one pivoting cam (15).
