- 1 IMPROVED FOAMING COMPOSITIONS AND AEROSOL DISPENSERS The present invention relates to improved aerosol dispensers and foaming compositions dispensed therefrom which provide improved delivery characteristics. Any discussion of the prior art throughout the specification should in no way be considered as an admission that such prior art is widely known or forms part of common general knowledge in the field. While hard surface and soft surface treatment compositions dispensed from aerosol dispensers are not unknown to the art, frequently the delivery characteristics of aerosol dispensers lead to undesired product delivery characteristics including (but not limited to): poor directional control of the dispensing treatment compositions, poor foaming of the surface treatment compositions when applied to a surface, sur.h as a hard surface and particularly a non-horizontal inclined or vertical hard surface, unsatisfactory amounts of "bearding" (undesired buildup or residue of dispensed foamed treatment composition on the dispenser, typically in the proximity of and/or beneath the dispensing nozzle) of the treatment composition being dispensed, and/or unsatisfactory amounts of cavitation of the dispensing treatment composition resulting in uneven dispensing of the treatment compositions. To address these and other issues, the art has recognized that careful consideration of the constituents and formulation of the treatment compositions as well as the propellant used to drive or expel the treatment compositions from the container or can of the aerosol dispenser must be undertaken, and further that the performance characteristics and geometry of the dispenser, particularly the nozzle or nozzle assembly must also be carefully undertaken in order to reduce or eliminate one or all of the undesired product delivery characteristics noted above. It is an object of the present invention to overcome or ameliorate at least one of the disadvantages of the prior art, or to provide a useful alternative. In a preferred embodiment of one aspect the present invention provides for an improved aerosol dispenser having a specific improved nozzle assembly configuration, and a pressurized foaming hard surface and/or soft surface treatment composition. In another preferred embodiment of a further aspect the present invention provides an improved aerosol dispenser having a specific improved nozzle assembly configuration which provides improved product delivery characteristics in the delivery of a pressurized foaming -2 hard surface and/or soft surface treatment composition contained within the said improved aerosol dispenser. In a preferred embodiment of a still further aspect the present invention relates to aerosol dispenser having a specific improved nozzle assembly configuration which provides improved product delivery characteristics in the delivery of a pressurized foaming surface treatment composition contained within the said improved aerosol dispenser, wherein the said aerosol dispenser overcomes one or more of the following technical shortcomings: (a) poor directional control of the dispensing treatment compositions; (b) poor or reduced foaming of the surface treatment compositions when applied to a surface, such as a hard surface and particularly a non-horizontal inclined or vertical hard surface; (c) unsatisfactory amounts of "bearding" of the treatment composition being dispensed; and, (d) unsatisfactory amounts of cavitation of the dispensing treatment composition resulting in uneven dispensing of the treatment compositions. In a preferred embodiment of a further aspect the present invention provides for an improved method for the delivery or dispensing of a foaming surface treatment composition from a pressurized, aerosol dispenser which process comprises the step of: supplying an aerosol dispenser having a specific improved nozzle assembly configuration which also contains a quantity of the pressurized, foaming surface treatment composition, and, dispensing the foaming surface treatment composition through the foaming surface treatment composition and onto a surface, such as a hard surface and/or a soft surface.

One preferred embodiment (identified as "El") of a pressurized foaming surface treatment composition comprises the following constituents: El %Wt. nonionic surfactant, C9-Cn, alcohol ethoxylate, avg. 5 mois EO 0.56 (1 00%wt. actives) cationic surfactant, quaternary ammonium compounds 0.23 (Catigene@ 818) (50%wt. actives) ammonium hydroxide (55%wt. actives) 0.04 sodium hydroxide (50%wt. actives) 0.21 corrosion inhibitor, sodium molybdate (100%wt. actives) 0.10 -9- WO 2012/025735 PCT/GB2011/051523 chelating agent, disodium ethanol diglycinate (Dissolvine@ 13 EDG) (28% active) fragrance (proprietary composition of its supplier, 1 00%wt. 0.1 actives) deionized water (1 00%wt. actives) q.s. to 100 Subsequently, 550 grams of the foregoing formulation of "El" was supplied to the interior of an aerosol canister (optionally lined to reduce internal can corrosion) to which is then added 45 g of a liquefied gas propellant and the aerosol canister was 5 thereafter sealed by the installation of a conventional aerosol crimp cap having at one side a dip tube which extended downwardly and into the interior of the aerosol canister and thus into the pressurized foaming surface treatment composition, an intermediate valve and on the exterior a valve stem. A cap assembly which comprises a specific improved nozzle assembly configuration (as described with reference to the drawings) 10 was thereafter affixed to the upper end of the sealed aerosol canister such that the valve stem engaged a part of the improved nozzle assembly which was thereafter used to dispense the pressurized foaming surface treatment composition. The interior pressure canister of the pressurized foaming surface treatment composition was in the range of about 2.9 - 3.3 bar (at 20'C), alternately was from about 6.2 - 6.9 bar (at 20'C). 15 Reference is now made to the accompanying figures which depict in several views a preferred embodiment of a cap assembly which comprises a specific improved nozzle assembly configuration. It is to be understood that the cap assembly forms part of an aerosol dispenser which also includes at least a canister, can or container which is used to contain a quantity of the pressurized foaming surface treatment composition, especially 20 preferably the pressurized foaming hard surface treatment composition disclosed above. In the accompanying figures, the reference numerals are used to indicate like elements which may be present in two or more of the figures. Figure 1 depicts a perspective view of the cap assembly 10 which includes the said specific improved nozzle assembly configuration, and Figure 2 depicts the same in a 25 cross-sectional elevation view, further illustrating the cap assembly 10 mounted on an aerosol canister 100 and in engagement with the valve stem 104. The cap assembly 10 - 10 - WO 2012/025735 PCT/GB2011/051523 includes two parts, a cowling 15 having a moveable trigger arm 20 which at its proximal end 22 extends from the base skirt 17 of the cowling 15, and a distal end 24 which supports and preferably includes an integral part of the improved nozzle assembly configuration 50. A second part of the cap assembly 10 is a nozzle orifice insert 70 5 which is also part of the improved nozzle assembly configuration 50. The forward end of the nozzle orifice insert 70 includes a horn 71 opening upwardly in the downstream direction, and a nozzle orifice 80 at or near the end of a nozzle post 82. The improved nozzle assembly configuration 50 includes an inlet conduit 52 which has an upwardly directed bore 54 and near the base thereof, a flanged section 56 which provides for 10 engagement between the valve stem 104 and the inlet conduit 52. If the opposite end of the bore 54 and extending perpendicularly therefrom is further connecting bore 58 connecting the vertical bore 54 with the nozzle chamber 60. When the aerosol valve is actuated, the pressurized foaming treatment composition exits via the valve stem 104 and then flows outwardly through the vertical bore 54 of the inlet conduit 52, and next is 15 redirected and passes through the connecting bore 58 connecting the vertical bore 54 with the nozzle chamber 60. It is to be noted that the cross-sectional area and/or the diameter of the connecting bore 58 is less than the cross-sectional area and/or the diameter of the vertical bore 54. Preferably the respective ratios out of these air is and/or diameters is between 1:1.1-5. Before departing Figure 2, the figure also depicts that the cap assembly 20 10 maybe engaged upon the top of an aerosol canister 100 in a conventional manner, such via a snap ring part 13 near the base and on the interior of the base skirt 17 which engages with a suitable recess ring 102 of the aerosol canister or 100. Optionally, but preferably a shown in Fig. 2 are a series of support buttresses 110 within the hollow interior 105 of the cap assembly 10. When present, such support buttresses 110 provided 25 degree mechanical stiffness to the cap assembly 10. Figures 3 and 4 respectively depict a side cross sectional view of a detail of the improved nozzle assembly configuration 50 as well as parts of the cap assembly 10, and a top cross-sectional view of a detail of the improved nozzle assembly configuration, as well as parts of the cap assembly 10. As is seen in these figures, the nozzle assembly 30 configuration 50 includes a nozzle chamber 60 having an open end defined by the transverse gap coincident with an end wall 62, a chamber body 64 extending from the end - 11 - WO 2012/025735 PCT/GB2011/051523 wall 62 towards the interior of the cap assembly 10 and the connecting bore 58 and terminating at a base wall 66. For sake of illustration a center line "AX" coincident with the central axis of the chamber 60, as well of the center post 69 is also shown. (Further portions of, or certain elements of the improved nozzle assembly configuration are 5 symmetrical about AX.) A portion of the nozzle orifice insert 70, namely an insert sleeve part 72 is inserted, preferably by a sealing, friction type fitting engagement between the sleeve part 72 and a part of the inner sidewall 63 of the chamber body 64. In such a manner, any pressurized foaming treatment composition and entering the nozzle chamber 60 from the connecting bore 58 may only exit therefrom by passing downstream towards, 10 and outward from the nozzle orifice 80. However, and as the pressurized foaming treatment composition passes in the downstream direction, between the connecting bore 58 and a nozzle orifice 80 it is further compressed. As visible from the figures, a part of the sleeve part 72 of the nozzle orifice insert 70 includes a first generally cylindrical inlet zone 73 upstream of the nozzle orifice 80, and adjacent thereto and downstream 15 therefrom a compression zone 75. The compression zone 75 is funnel shaped, and includes an upper tapered sidewall 77a and opposite thereto, a lower tapered sidewall 77b, which extend between two generally parallel flat vertical sidewalls, 78a, 78b which funnel shaped section of the compression zone 75 causes further compression of the foaming surface treatment composition passing from the inlet zone 73 through the 20 compression zone 75 prior to exiting via the nozzle orifice 80. The upper tapered sidewall 77a and the lower tapered sidewall 77b are angled with respect to one another, by an angle "A", which is preferably in the range of between 5 and 30 degrees of arc; a particularly preferred angle is as depicted in the figures. As also depicted, portions of the nozzle insert 70 include two inwardly directed side restrictions 65a, 65b which are 25 dimensioned to define a gap therebetween which gap is sized to engage the center post 69 which extends within the nozzle chamber 60 and depends from and extends perpendicularly from the base wall 66 of the chamber body 64. The center post 66 is of a length which is of sufficient length to extend inwardly into the sleeve part 72 of the nozzle orifice insert 70 so to engage the two side restrictions 65a, 65b of the cylindrical 30 inlet zone 73 and preferably not so far as to extend into, the compression zone 75. Advantageously the distal tip end 69a of the center post 69 is frustoconical in shape. -12- WO 2012/025735 PCT/GB2011/051523 Further details of the configuration of the improved nozzle assembly configuration 50, particularly the of the nozzle orifice insert 70 are depicted on Figure 5 which is a perspective through sectional view of a part of the nozzle orifice insert 70, and on Figure 6 which is a detail part of the depiction of Figure 5. As is visible thereon, the 5 exit orifice 80 has a rectangular cross-section with the two opposite wider sides 81 a, 8 lb being coincident with the respective upper tapered sidewall 77a and opposite thereto, a lower tapered sidewall 77b. The exit orifice 80 opens into a bowl-shaped horn 88 immediately adjacent thereto, which can be formed by a chamfer 84 extending outwardly from a least the wider sides 8 la, 81 b of the exit orifice 80, were preferably but very 10 advantageously a chamfer extends outwardly from a wider sides, as well as the narrower sides 83a, 83b of the exit orifice 80.

Alternately, as illustrated on Fig. 9, the exit orifice 80 may be a rectangularly shaped exit orifice having a "height " (corresponding to the distance between opposite sides 8 1a, 8 lb) of 0.4 mm +/- 0.1 mm at its ends, which 5 however may extend at the midpoint between the ends to 0.45 - 0.5 +/- 0.1, such that these sides 81a, 81b are slightly concave or bowed outwardly from the line AX. The exit orifice 80 has a "width" (corresponding to the distance between opposite sides 83a, 83b) of 1 - 1.5 mm +/- 0.1 mm, but is preferably between about 1.2 - 1.4 mm +/- 0.1 mm, and especially preferably is 1.3 mm +/- 0.1 mm, and also, wherein these opposite sides 83a, 10 83b are straight parallel sides as illustrated in Fig. 9, however, although not illustrated in Fig. 9 the opposite sides 83a, 83b can also be slightly curved or bowed outwardly from the line AX as well by up to about 0.1 mm at their midpoints. In a particularly preferred embodiment of cap assembly 10, and with reference to the drawings: the angle between 77a, and 77b is between 25 - 35 degrees of are (0), 15 preferably is 300 +/1; the angle of the horn 84, or alternately the angle between the midpoint of a reference plane between sides 81 a, 8 1b and the exterior edges of the horn 84 is between 115 - 1400, preferably between 115 - 1220, and especially preferably is 1200 +/- 1*; the angle of the nozzle horn sidewalls 70a, 70b is between 70 - 95*, preferably between 80 - 900, and is especially preferably about 85* +/- 0.54 as measured 20 along a vertical line bisecting sides 81a, 8ib of the nozzle orifice 80; the distance between the end of the plug 69c and the end of the outlet orifice 80 is between 4.5 and 5.5 mm, preferably is 5 mm +/- 0.2 mm; the diameter of the plug 69 is between 2.5 -2.8 mm, preferably is 2.7 mm +/- 0.15 mm, the maximum inner diameter of the insert is between 3.2 - 3.6 mm, preferably is 3.4 mm +/- 0.1 mm. 25 While not wishing to be bound by the following, is believed that the combined effects of the (a) increasing pressure upon the flowing, foaming surface treatment composition passing through the compression zone 75, which suddenly exits via a non circular exit orifice 80 and preferably were in a least two opposite sides are edges of his non-circular exit orifice 80 are sharp edges which rapidly expand thereafter due to the 30 presence of the chamfer or bowl shaped horn 88 immediately adjacent thereto and downstream of the exit orifice 80 provides for both an excellent degree of directional - 14- WO 2012/025735 PCT/GB2011/051523 control of the dispensed aerosol foaming surface treatment composition and simultaneously, the initiation of foaming via rapid air entrainment as the sprayed dispensed aerosol foaming surface treatment composition exhibits increased foaming as it transits through the ambient air even prior to its deposition on a surface. It is believed 5 that the sharp edges of at least two opposite sides of the exit orifice 80, e.g., 81a, 8 b immediately followed by the chamfer or bowl shaped horn 88 imparts turbulence to the exiting composition, and the chamfer or bowl shaped horn 88 permits for immediate volumetric expansion of the exiting composition and capture of air, hence air entrainment at even the initial stages of its flight through ambient air or the ambient environment. 10 This effect is noted with the exit orifice configuration according to Fig. 8, and even moreso with the exit nozzle configuration according to Fig. 9. Although the above dimensions are optimized for the El composition tested, at the indicated pressures and temperatures, nonetheless small modifications to the configuration and dimensions of one or more parts for elements of the improved nozzle 15 assembly configuration may be beneficial or desirable when a composition different than that of El is to be dispensed without a deleterious increase in one or more of the following technical shortcomings: (a) unsatisfactory directional control of the dispensing treatment compositions; (b) unsatisfactory foaming of the surface treatment compositions when applied to a surface, such as a hard surface and particularly a non-horizontal 20 inclined or vertical hard surface; (c) unsatisfactory amounts of "bearding" of the treatment composition being dispensed; and, (d) unsatisfactory amounts of cavitation of the dispensing treatment composition resulting in uneven dispensing of the treatment compositions, also referred to as "spitting". 25 Testing: A plurality of pressurized aerosol dispensers were prepared by providing 550 of formulation of "E1" to an aerosol canister (optionally lined to reduce internal can corrosion), thereafter adding 45 g of a liquefied gas propellant, thereafter the canister was sealed by the installation of a conventional aerosol crimp cap having at one side a dip 30 tube which extended downwardly and into the interior of the aerosol canister and thus into the pressurized foaming surface treatment composition, an intermediate valve and on - 15 - WO 2012/025735 PCT/GB2011/051523 the exterior a valve stem. A cap assembly as depicted on Figs. I - 7 was thereafter affixed to the upper end of the sealed aerosol canister such that the valve stem engaged a part of the improved nozzle assembly as shown in Fig. 2. The interior pressure canister of the pressurized foaming surface treatment composition was in the range of about 2.9 5 3.3 bar (at 204C). Each of the pressurized aerosol dispensers (10 replicates) was tested for the delivery characteristics of the foaming treatment composition which they contained according to the following protocol. An aerosol dispenser was held in a vertical position, 30 cm away from a parallel vertical wall upon which had been taped a sheet of brown 10 paper (kraft paper). The foaming surface treatment composition was dispensed by depressing the moveable trigger arm 20 for 5 seconds, after which pressure was removed from the moveable trigger arm 20. The applied foamed treatment composition was thereafter measured for the height of the, and the canister was visually inspected. The deposited sprayed foamed surface treatment compositions for the 10 tested 15 aerosol dispensers were as indicated on the following table; also indicated was the observed ranking of "bearding" observed: aerosol height of "bearding" dispenser sprayed rating (replicate) foamed treatment composition (centimeters) 1 40 4 2 40 4 3 35 4 4 35.5 4 5 35 4 6 35 4 7 35.5 4 8 40 4 9 37 4 10 37.5 4 As evident from the foregoing, the average spray height was 37.05 cm. 20 The "bearding" rating related to the amount of excess foam that is being developed as the product is in use.
