This device 14 for distributing a product as a spray, comprises a distributing valve (30) comprising: a valve body (40), defining an inner chamber (52), an actuating rod (42) defining an interior distribution duct (62) that opens outside of the rod (42) via an orifice for entry (64) and via an orifice for exiting (66), with the actuating rod (42) being mobile in the chamber (52) between a distribution position and a blocking position, and a return element (44) of the actuating rod (42) to its blocking position.

The distribution device (14) also comprises a non-return valve (70) arranged inside the actuating rod (42) in order to prevent the circulation of a fluid in the distribution duct (62) from the orifice for the exiting (66) towards the orifice for the entry (64).

The invention comprises an apparatus and method of manufacture thereof for forming a frothing agent, including the steps of: forming a frozen pellet by at least partially immersing a first material in a liquid, the first material including at least one of: (1) a solid particle comprising at least thirty percent nitrous oxide by mass and (2) a liquid drop comprising at least thirty percent nitrous oxide by mass; sealing the frozen pellet in a container comprising an initial pressure exceeding one hundred pounds per square inch; and heating contents of the container, the step of heating resultant in: (1) a phase change of the nitrous oxide; and (2) formation of the frothing agent.

A portable fire extinguisher is disclosed which includes a cylinder for storing a pressurized fire extinguishing agent and has a neck portion defining an outlet, and a flexible hermetic seal supported across the outlet of the cylinder, wherein the flexible hermetic seal is adapted and configured to transition between: an unexpanded condition corresponding to an unpressurized cylinder; an expanded condition corresponding to a pressurized cylinder; and a bursted condition corresponding to an opened cylinder.

The invention comprises a container apparatus and/or a method of manufacture thereof, comprising: a pressure containment housing containing both a first chemical and a second chemical; an interface configured to control dispersal of the first and second chemical out of the container; and a pressure within the container at time of manufacture exceeding ten bar. Generally, the mixture includes: (1) nitrous oxide as a gas, a liquid, a supercritical fluid, or a solid and (2) at least one of molecular hydrogen, helium, molecular nitrogen, carbon dioxide, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon in the form of a gas, liquid, supercritical fluid, or solid.

Method and device for controlling the quantity of liquid contained in a cartridge for an aerosol generating device, wherein the cartridge has a container and a liquid contained in the container and wherein, according to which is measured the quantity of liquid contained in the cartridge; and compared the quantity of liquid with a reference quantity of liquid.

A reusable dispensing container assembly including a canister having a first end and a second end, the canister having an upper chamber to hold dispensable substance, an actuator arranged proximate the first end of the canister, in communication with the chamber, the actuator having a nozzle arranged to eject the dispensable substance, and a deformable piston arranged within the canister below the upper chamber, the deformable piston having a reinforcement apparatus embedded therein, the piston further arranged to sealingly engage an inner surface of the canister, the piston arranged for upward movement within the canister when the actuator is actuated, the deformable piston forming a lower chamber arranged to hold pressurized gas.

The present invention relates to a cap assembly for converting a container of a carbonated drink into a fire extinguishing device. The present invention also relates to a method for extinguishing a fire using a container of water or carbonated drink producing environmentally friendly and human safe stream.

The present disclosure provides a method of preparing a pharmaceutical composition. The method includes transferring a predetermined quantity of an excipient mixture from a second vessel to a first vessel. The excipient mixture transferred from the second vessel includes a liquid-state second quantity of a hydrofluoroalkane propellant and a first solubilized excipient comprising a low-molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide) polymer. The method further includes contacting at least one pharmaceutically-active compound with the excipient mixture under conditions that facilitate forming an intermixture comprising the propellant, the polymer, and the compound. Before transferring the excipient mixture, the first vessel contains a vapor-phase first quantity of the hydrofluoroalkane propellant and an effective amount of the at least one pharmaceutically-active compound.

Filling device for filling an aerosol container with a liquid, such as paint, which device comprises a cup for the liquid for the aerosol container, which cup is provided with an injection opening at its bottom surface; a piston for pushing the liquid from the cup via the injection opening to the aerosol container; and a piston head that is adapted to be detachably fixed on the end of the piston to be in contact with the liquid in the cup when the liquid is transferred from the cup to the aerosol container, which piston head is in the form of a scraper in continuous contact with the side wall of the cup during the liquid transferring operation, wherein the detachable fixing of the piston head allows the piston head to be withdrawn together with the piston from the cup after the liquid transferring operation is done.
