A nozzle apparatus for dispensing an adjustable combination of gas, having a nozzle outlet adjustably combined with a delivery component. The nozzle outlet may have a groove for receiving a roll pin; and an inner lumen comprising a cylindrical shaft having a diameter between 5/1000ths and 20/1000ths of an inch. The delivery component configured to receive air from the nozzle outlet, may have a first circular ambient air hole having a diameter, and a second circular ambient air hole having the same diameter as the first ambient air hole, and a removable plugging device covering the second circular ambient air hole. The delivery component may be adjustable in orientation with respect to the nozzle outlet, and may be adjustable to vary a concentration of therapeutic gas delivered to a patient.

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.

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, and 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, and an upper crimp ring seating surface, and 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 method of adapting a threaded connection to an aerosol can, including providing a lower fitting, an upper fitting including a male thread, and a seating radius configured to conform with a curled lip of the aerosol can, a crimp ring, configured to rest between the lower crimp ring seating surface and the upper crimp ring seating surface, inserting the lower fitting into the crimp ring and the upper fitting, thereby forming an adaptor assembly, inserting the adaptor assembly, lower fitting first, into the aerosol can, the aerosol can comprising an inner surface, pulling the lower fitting through the upper fitting, thereby compressing the crimp ring in the axial direction while simultaneously expanding in the radial direction, thereby making contact with the inner surface and fixedly installing the adaptor assembly in the aerosol can.

An apparatus for delivering a predetermined quantity of content from a pressurized container includes a dispensing assembly which sits on the container and connects with an upper portion of a valve stem of the valve assembly, wherein the dispensing assembly includes a) an actuator cap having a discharge passage, which is open or obstructed and wherein the actuator cap acts as a metering chamber in combination with b) an adaptor which fits inside the cap and also snuggly engages the valve stem. The cap fits snuggly over the adjuster to define a metering chamber which depending on its position can close off the metered chamber or open it to the dispensing conduit nozzle. When the cap is depressed it pushes down on the adjuster which depresses the valve. The chamber fills, but nothing is released until the upstroke.

A multidirectional aerosol dispensing device and methods of utilizing the device in a variety of positions, including an inverted position, to dispense an aerosol product. The device may include an aerosol container, an undercap, and an actuator. An aerosol valve may be located at a bottom portion of the aerosol container. The aerosol valve may have a valve stem for displacing the aerosol valve from a biased closed position to an open position upon a movement of the valve stem to discharge the aerosol product from the valve stem. The undercap may be mounted to the aerosol container with the top portion of the undercap being adjacent to the bottom portion of the aerosol container. The bottom portion of the undercap may terminate in a base surface for supporting the device on a supporting surface to store the aerosol dispensing device in an inverted position.

A wrist mounted toy is described wherein a pressurized canister containing a string foam compound, or other pressurizable liquid with mid to low viscosity, is attached to a vessel containing a check valve. A geared-trigger mechanism allows for the user to expel the fluid at a pressure and rate dependent on the pressure he or she places on the lever. Additionally, the actions of removing and replacing the air and fluid canisters provide the user with a more interactive experience compared to a simple load and shoot toy. Many variations can be adapted to the toy to allow for a wide range of uses. The toy allows the user to enjoy a device which resembles the Marvel character's shooter more closely and discharge the fluid to quite a distance.

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 system for dispensing texture material in a desired spray pattern that substantially matches an existing texture pattern on a target surface has a container assembly, an actuator assembly, and a concentrate comprising a solvent/carrier comprising water, wall texture material comprising at least one filler and a resin/binder, a first anti-corrosion material, where the first anti-corrosion material is a phosphate ester, and a second anti-corrosion material, where the second anti-corrosion material is sodium nitrite. At least one of the first and second anti-corrosion materials forms a film on the inner surface of the container assembly while the concentrate is stored within the container assembly. The film inhibits corrosion of the corrodible material forming at least part of the inner surface of the container assembly. The first and second anti-corrosion materials together comprise 0.125-7.00% by weight of the concentrate.

A dispensing device includes a container, wherein a bottom surface of the container includes a container opening to the interior storage; 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 an actuator including a body including a first end and a second end. When the first end is in a first position, the bowl support is in the filling position. When the first end is in a second position, the bowl support is in the serving position.
