A cleaning mechanism for spray and aerosol nozzles comprising a cap and a plurality of cleaning members where the cleaning members are affixed to the internal surface of the cap in one or more different arrangements covering at least a portion of each of the vertical height of the internal surface and the internal circumference. The cleaning mechanism may be configured as fixed within a cap or as a standalone cap attachment that is inserted and/or detached from the cap for use. The cleaning members may comprise brush members, plastic members, or members made of other materials.

An improved actuator for actuating a container of a pressurized fluent product includes a body having a dispensing flow path to direct a pressurized fluent product from the container to an exterior of the actuator via an exit orifice located at an end of the flow path. The body further includes a front exterior face located adjacent to the exit orifice and a hollow extension defining a portion of the flow path and extending along, and centered on, a longitudinal axis. The hollow extension configured to retain an accumulation of the fluent product at the exit orifice at a location that is spaced away from the front exterior face.

An aerosol valve system for storing and dispensing a one- or multicomponent formulation, comprising a casing (8), at least two valves (1, 1a, 4, 4a), connected to at least a first reservoir (2, 2a) and/or at least a second reservoir (17), respectively, wherein the first valve (1, 1a) comprises a stem (7), an outlet channel (3) for discharging the formulation, and a mixing chamber (3a), and wherein between the at least two valves (1, 1a, 4, 4a) extends a cleaning channel (6, 6a), connecting the second reservoir (17) to the mixing chamber (3a) of the first valve (1, 1a).

An article has a can with a valve stem and a dispensing device, the dispensing device includes a cap over the valve stem, a hollow tube extending through a slot in the cap and attached to the valve stem, a sleeve slidably extending over the hollow tube, a lever hingedly attached to the cap and operatively engaging the sleeve, an elastic feature that provides a force or causes a force to be applied to the sleeve in a direction that tries to move the sleeve to a closed position, and a sealing gasket between the sleeve and hollow tube proximate to the exit end of the hollow tube; where the sleeve seals the hollow tube when in the closed position and displacing the lever towards the can simultaneously unseals the hollow tube and tilts the valve stem, and when released allows the sleeve to restore to a closed position.

A device for dispensing a hydrofluoroolefin vapocoolant composition as an aerosol is disclosed. The device comprises an aerosol-dispensing container comprising an internal chamber, a valve, a dispensing hole, and an actuator. The device also comprises a hydrofluoroolefin vapocoolant composition comprising HCFO-1233zd at 70% to 100% (weight/weight) and, optionally, HFO-1234ze in at 0% to 30% (weight/weight). The hydrofluoroolefin vapocoolant composition is stored within the internal chamber. The aerosol-dispensing container is configured so that depressing the actuator reversibly opens the valve to allow the hydrofluoroolefin vapocoolant composition to flow from the internal chamber, past the valve, and through the dispensing hole, thereby dispensing the hydrofluoroolefin vapocoolant composition from the aerosol-dispensing container. A method of treating pain and/or swelling of a tissue of a patient by use of the device also is disclosed. The method comprises a step of dispensing the hydrofluoroolefin vapocoolant composition from the device onto the tissue of the patient.

A discharge apparatus for a flying object is provided, which discharges liquid material from a nozzle mounted on an airframe and includes a lid that is capable of opening and closing a discharge port of the nozzle.
