130-0633 -la- TIME DELAYED TOTAL-RELEASE AEROSOL DISPENSERS 0 *0 0 0* Devices which allow for the total or partial release of an active agent from an aerosol dispenser are known. Examples of these devices may be found in the Handbook of Aerosol Technology by P.S. Sanders, 2nd Ed., page 85, Editor Krieger, 1979).
The main disadvantage of the total-release aerosol dispensers is their immediate actuation which exposes the operator to the contents of the containers.
Some attempts for delayed release of the content of various containers were made previously to prevent direct contact of the operator with the content of the container. The resulting devices are mostly applicable and/or suitable for specific purpose only.
Dispensers with delayed opening of a water solujle seal which dissolves when coming in contact with water in the washing machine are des- 15 cribed in USP 3,399,806. USP 3,800,878 describes a fire extinquisher utilizing an eutectic material in conjunction with an auxiliary seal that isolates the eutectic material from the pressurized fluid of the container. The eutectic material melts in response to an increase in ambient temperature. After complete melting of the eutectic material 20 the auxiliary seal is opened by the pressure within the container thereby permitting release of the fluid. It is rather dangerous to employ together such actuation stimuli as heat and pressure because the heat increases the pressure in the container which may explode.

130-0633 -2- The present invention provides a simple, inexpensive, effective, practical and easy to handle means for delayed actuation. It is generally applicable and independent from external factors such as aqueous medium or heat. It provides a time delayed release for all kinds of total-release aerosol dispensers such as foggers, fumigators, insecticidal sprays and bombs, paint capsules, gas bombs, aerosols, oven cleaners, tear gas granades, smoke grenades and explosives, and is particularly appropriate for distribution of pesticides, mom particularly of insecticides.
The time delayed release of the aerosol dispenser of the invention is obtained with the aid of a material sealing the exit conduit of the 0 dispenser and which material is susceptible to removal by the content oo of the dispenser's container. The sealing material is removed, with S" delay over a predeterminable period of time by the contents of the 15 container upon mechanical actuation of the valve.
o The sealing material may be in removable association with the valve, valve stem or actuator of said dispenser. After removal of the sealing material the content of the container is released, 0 m 0 e The removal of sealing material may be obtained through the pressure 20 executed by the contents of the dispelser on the sealing material °ooo~o° j after actuation of the valve, by dissolution of the sealing material in, or disintegration of such sealing material by the contents of the container after actuation of the valve, or by a combination of such 0 factors.
i 771 4- 130-0633 3 A wide variety of valves, valve stems, actuators and containers of total-release aerosol dispensers are known. Essentially all such dispensers may be adapted in accordance with the present invention.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the actuator is in the form of a so-called"overcap". Overcaps have the dual function of protecting the valve of an aerosol dispenser during storage and of actuating said valve, when inverted and remounted onto the 'dispenser (see USP 4 426 025).
The sealing material can be any material which can be placed in the conduit or on the orifice of the valve, valve stem, the actuator or between them and can be removed after actuation of the val v under the influence of the container's content.
*o* Suitable sealing material may be any material removable under the se, pressure of the container's content after actuation and may for example be in foil form or have a soft plastic consistency.
Examples of sealing materials suitable for use in the present invention are adhesive or insulation tapes, e.g. tapes known under the trade names Scotch 810, Scotc CW 715 44AAV 4152, R-Tape (CP-PAN) and Silver Clott Tape, preferably Scotc 810 or Silver ClotP Tape; polyolefins and natural and synthetic resins such as polyvinylchloride, polypropylene, ethylene ethyl acrylates, ethylene vinyl acetate, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol, butyl acrylate, rubbers and elastomers, polyisoprene, polystyrene, polyvinyl acetal, polyvinyl ethyl ether, polyethylene and similar materials, e.g. low density polyethylene foils formulated with paraffin wax, such as the laboratory films available from American Can Corp.
under the trade name Parafili preferably such films of 0.010 to 0.015 inches thickness; sealants; greases such as silicone grease; waxes.
_L i 130-0633 4 The natural and synthetic resins may either be used alone or may be, and preferably are, employed in combination with a plasticizer and optionally other formulating agents such as dyes.
Sealing materials particularly suitable for use in the present invention are selected from adhesive or insulation tapes, laboratory films such as those known as Parafilnr and natural or synthetic resins (such as rubbers, polyisoprenes or other aliphatic hydrocarbon resins, wood resins and the like).
Examples of resins particularly suitable for use as sealing agent are wood resins, e.g. wood resins having a softening point of more than 85 0 C, e.g. in the range of 90 to 105 0 C, such as low molecular weight aliphatic hydrocarbon resins derived mainly from dienes and other reactive olefin monomers, e.g. those known under the trade name Piccopale resins (particularly Piccopale 100-SF, *"15 available from Hercules Inc., Wilmington); and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) based resins, such as the EVA-wax-resin compositions known as N ta resins (available from Neville Chemical Company) e.g. Nevtac100O and Super Nevtac' 99.
Examples of plasticizers suitable for use in the resin combinations 20 are phthalates and adipates, e.g. dibutyl phthalate, dicyclohexy}phthalate, diethyl phthalate, diisodecylphthalate, dimethyl phthalate, diphenyl phthalate, dioctyl phthalate, dioctyl adipate, butyl benzyl phthalate, diundecyl phthalate, the dialkyl phthtalate known under the trade name Santicize 711, the dialkyl adipate known under the trade name Santicizer® 97 and polymeric type plasticizers such as Santicizer' 261, 409, 411, 412,,429, 480, 481, 482, 334 F, 79TMtrimellitate type, particularly suitable plasticizers are dioctyl phthalate (DOP), butyl benzyl phthalate (Santicizer 160; BBP) and dioctyl adipate (DOA).
The most appropriate sealing materials for use in this invention are laboratory films such as those known as Parafil and referred to herein above, particularly such films having a thickness of 0.005 I II IC Y LL 130-0633 0.015, more preferably of 0.01 0.015 inches, and resin /plasticizer combinations mixed in a weignt ratio from 50:50 to 90:10, preferably from 70:30 to 90:10. Particularly suitable resin/plasticizer combinations comprise from 75-85% by weight of resin and 15 to 25% by weight of plasticizer. They may additionally comprise formulating agents, e.g.
1 part for. 100 parts resin/plasticizer combination. A preferred example of formulation comprises from 79-82% by weight of resin, 17-22% by weight of plasticizer, the balance being formulating agents such as dyes, e.g. fluorescent dyes such as fluorescent orange, fluorescent yellow, fluorescent blue, fluorescent red and fluorescent black.
The sealing material can be placed at any place of the exit conduit oo allowing sealing of the terminal orifice of the aerosol dispenser; Sit may be placed in the conduit or on the orifice of the valve, valve 15 stem or actuator and in some instances it may also cover the
S
surroundings thereof. The valve, valve stem and actuator may have any size or shape; it is only necessary to secure that the amount of o sealing material employed is sufficient to completely block the terminal orifice of the aerosol dispenser.
20 The sealing material may be introduced at the desired place of the exit conduit (valve-, valve stem-, or actuator orifice or conduit) by known techniques, e.g. manually, by injection, hot molding, Se..
dip-coating, coating or other techniques well known in the art.
geese: 4* These and other features and objects of the present invention will 25 become more apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein: Fig. 1 is a schematic drawing of sectional view, illustrating one preferred embodiment of this invention, i.e. a total release overcap wherein the sealing material is placed either "on" or "in" the orifice of the overcap (serving as actuator).
L 130-0633 6 Fig. 2 is a schematic drawing of sectional view, illustrating an other preferred embodiment of this invention, i.e, an aerosol valve wherein the sealing material is placed either "on" or "in" the orifice of the valve stem. The actuator is not shown, nor are details drawn from the valve. For more details see for example, Handbook of Aerosol Technology, supra.
Fig. 3 is a schematic drawing of sectional view, illustrating another preferred embodiment of this invention, i.e. a button-lock actuator wherein the sealing material is placed either "on" or "in" the orifice of the button-lock actuator.
Referring to Fig. 1, the total release overcap is shown with the sealing material placed either "on" 1 or "in" 2 the orifice 3 of the m 8 overcap. Fig. IA is a plan view of the top of the overcap; Fig. lB is a side sectional view of said overcap and Fig. 1C is enlarged ma "15 view of the middle section of the overcap in a position in which it 0S e is used for delayed actuation.
o u*: In operation, the cap which normally serves as a cover for shipping or storing is inverted to actuate the valve of the can. Thereupon the content of the container interacts with the sealing material (by pressure or solvent effects) and begins to actuate such material until it is displaced. Only then the content of the can tee.
is released.
rer a Referring now to Fig. 2, the aerosol valve (Handbook of Aerosol Technology, supra at 85) is shown with the material susceptible to the 25 container's'content placed either "on" 4 or "in" 5 the valve stem 6 of the aerosol valve assembly. Fig. 2 is a side sectional view of the 130-0633 -7aerosol valve assembly showing the stem 6, body of the valve 7, diptube 8 and mounting cup 9.
In operation, whenever the actuator (not shown) attached to the valve stem of the container is engaged, the content of the container interacts with the sealing material placed "in" or "on" the valve stem and begins to actuate such material until it is displaced.
After removal of the sealing material the content of the can is released.
Referring now to Fig. 3, the button-lock actuator (Handbook of .10 Aerosol Technology, supra at 111) isshown with the sealing material placed either "on" 10 or "in" 11 the orifice 12 of the actuator.
Fig. 3A is a side sectional view of the actuator and Fig. 3B is an enlarged view of the middle section thereof.
In operation, whenever the actuator attached to the valve stem of the 15 container is engaged, the content of the container interacts with the sealing material placed "in" or "on" the orifice of the actuator and begins to affect such material until it is displaced. The content of the can is only released with time delay, i.e. after expiration of the time required for the removal of the sealing material.
*S S 20 The sealing materials are either placed between the valve and the actuator, or built "in" or "on" the actuator or the valve stem of the total-release container. The delayed actuation is triggered by engaging the actuator by opening the valve). The container's content begins then to affect the sealing material, which results finally after a predeterminable period of time in the removal of 130-0633 -8such sealing material and allows thereupon the delayed totalrelease of the contents of the aerosol dispenser. The delay in time depends on the type and amount of sealing material used and on the contents of the container.
The sealing material can be placed either "in" or "on" the valve, preferably valve stem, into the stem orifice(s), if there are any, in the wail of the stem or in the stem seat (spring cap). The details describing the differenttypes of valves, valve stems and various other parts thereof can be found in Handbook of Aerosol Technology, supra, :10 pp. 85-111.
9 Similarly, the sealing material can be placed "in" or "on" the actuator or overcap of any size or shape. Actuators and their functions :g are generally described in Handbook of Aerosol Technology, supra, G:.s pp. 111-114.
The orifice can be of various shapes and sizes. Such orifices are made in conventional manner.
The current invention is useful for any kind of administration and .990 000" total-release of harmful, hazardous, noxious or unpleasant contents of various containers and similar devices to the surrounding environment, which administration could be otherwise harmful, unpleasant, impractical or risky to the operator of such device. In such situations, time is needed to get away from the container before it releases its contents.
The device of this application allows the application of various pesticides, fumigating agents, even hazardous materials which normally cannot be applied without safety hazards, without complicated 130-0633 -9health protections such as masks, respirators, special clothes, etc. Sometimes, such materials cannot be applied at all without substantial health risk to the operator.
Utilizing this invention, the operator of a device containing any kind of harmful substance installs the device in the appropriate place, engages the actuator, valve or other triggering unit and leaves. The sealing material now comes in contact with the contents of the container which slowly acts onto the sealing material which is susceptible to that content. In due time (controlled by choice of :10 materials, thickness, formulation, dimensions and location), such material fatigues and is displaced thus opening the terminal orifice in the system and allows the content of the container to be released to the environment.
The device of this invention can be similarly used to activate fire 00*.
0 extinguishers in a case of unattended fire, tranquilize wild animals or disturbed or violent people without endangering personnel, administer various detoxicants, disinfectants, anesthetic agents and other agents of a similar type. The uses such as a landing area marker or a rescue markersite is also possible.
