Abstract
An aerosol actuator including a director capable of extending an outlet of the aerosol actuator away from the aerosol actuator and which may be configured to include a multi-function nozzle for selecting a dispersing pattern.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- Embodiments of the invention relate to aerosol sprayer devices and more particularly to aerosol actuators having a delivery or director piece and nozzle.
- 2. State of the Art
- Spray devices are well known and are used to deliver a variety of products. For example, finger pumps and trigger sprayers may be used to deliver a fluid from a container onto a surface or into a volume of space. Similarly, aerosol sprayers are used to spray an aerosolized product onto a surface or into a volume of space. Many different types of spray devices are known.
- Aerosol spray devices typically include a pushbutton type spray device containing an orifice and a connection to a valve which is in turn connected to a container of product from which the aerosol product is dispensed. Actuation of the pushbutton releases a quantity of product from the aerosol container through the valve and the pushbutton. More recently, aerosol spray devices have been modified to look more like trigger sprayers and such devices may include a trigger attached to, or in communication with, a manifold which is connected to the valve of an aerosol container. Actuation of the trigger may release product from the aerosol container through the valve, into the manifold, and out an orifice of the trigger spray device.
- When using either a pushbutton-type aerosol device or a trigger sprayer aerosol device, product is dispensed relatively close to the aerosol bottle and in some instances, bearding or droplets forming on the end of a manifold or exit orifice may drip or otherwise come in contact with a user's hand or body. Such contact may be undesirable.
- In addition, some aerosol actuators include extension tubes which may be fastened to an aerosol actuator to direct product through the tube to a release point away from the user. While such systems are used, often times the tube must be shipped separate from the aerosol package and in some cases must be thrown away after a single use, preventing further use of the aerosol device.
- While conventional aerosol delivery systems provide methods for dispensing product, it is desirable to be able to dispense a product away from a user and to be able to reuse the director or extension used to direct the dispensing of the aerosol product.
- According to certain embodiments of the invention, an aerosol actuator may include one or more directors mounted on the aerosol actuator such that the director may pivot or rotate between an on and off position.
- According to some embodiments of the invention, a director may include one or more nozzles which may be rotated between any one or more of an “off” position, a “stream” position, a “spray” position, a “foam” position, or other desired output position.
- According to various embodiments of the invention, a director or nozzle, or both, may be incorporated into the design of the aerosol actuator for any one or more of easy storage, improved ergonomics, preferred aesthetics, or otherwise.
- While the specification concludes with claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming particular embodiments of the present invention, various embodiments of the invention can be more readily understood and appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art from the following descriptions of various embodiments of the invention when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:

aerosol actuator 100 according to various embodiments of the invention is illustrated inFIG. 1 . As illustrated, anaerosol actuator 100 may include adirector 110. Other components of anaerosol actuator 100 may include conventional components such as abase 190, atrigger 192, aspring 194 or cap, and amanifold 196. For example, anaerosol actuator 100 according to embodiments of the invention may include an aerosol actuator such as those disclosed in PCT Application PCT/US11/48816 entitled “AEROSOL ACTUATORS,” filed 23 Aug. 2011, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. - An
aerosol actuator 100 according to embodiments of the invention may be connected to or mated with acontainer 900 such as an aerosol container containing a product. The connection and use of anaerosol actuator 100 to acontainer 900 may be done using any number of conventional methods. - Various configurations and operating states of an
aerosol actuator 100 according to various embodiments of the invention are illustrated inFIGS. 1 through 10 . According to various embodiments of the invention, anaerosol actuator 100 may include adirector 110. In some embodiments, adirector 110 may be configured to extend an exit flow path for a product being sprayed or dispersed by theaerosol actuator 100. For example, as illustrated inFIGS. 2 , 5, 6, and 10, adirector 110 may be extended away from atrigger 192 of theaerosol actuator 100 such that the exit orifice of theaerosol actuator 100 is away from the body of theaerosol actuator 100. - In some embodiments of the invention, a
director 110 may fold out to an extended position as illustrated inFIG. 2 and be folded into theaerosol actuator 100, or an opening or slot in theaerosol actuator 100, as illustrated inFIG. 1 . - According to some other embodiments of the invention, a
nozzle 120 may be assembled with, integral to, or connected to thedirector 110. Anozzle 120 may have an input and an exit. Anozzle 120 may include various stream, dispersing, or spray selections. For example, anozzle 120 may include an “off” position in which product flow is blocked through thenozzle 120. Anozzle 120 may also include a “stream” position, “spray” position, or “foam” position as conventionally known with trigger sprayers but not used with aerosol dispensing systems. - A
nozzle 120 according to various embodiments of the invention may rotate on an end of thedirector 110 such that various selections may be made for the dispensing of a product from acontainer 900 to which theaerosol actuator 100 may be attached. - As illustrated in
