Abstract
An air freshener or equivalent aerosol canister has an internal bag for the aerosol material. The bag has a comparatively rigid upper half (7) stiffened by vertical ribs into which the more flexible lower half (8) is forced by compressed gas (10) as the jet material becomes used up. To reduce risk of an explosion when accidentally subjected to an unacceptable temperature, a safety valve (14 or 15) is mounted on the casing. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Aerosol canisters
This invention relates to aerosol canisters and particularlytodryairfreshenersbutitisto be understood that the invention is not limited to these fresheners.
Airfresheners may contain over90% butane gas with the result that there have been a number of explosions strong enough to cause structural damagetothe buildings in which they occurred. It is a principal object of the present invention, therefore, to provide means whereby these risks can be reduced.
According to the present invention, an aerosol canister comprises a casing furnished at one end with avalvefordelivering an aerosol jet material received from a collapsible bag within the casing when the bag is under pressure, means being interposed between the casing and bag for subjecting the bag to such pressure continuously during the useful life ofthe canister and the bag being arranged to fold up underthesaid pressure as the aerosol jet material is discharged to an extent corresponding to the amount of material discharged from the bag.Thus, using a bag to separatethe aerosol material from the propellent enables various means of propellentto be used otherthan dangerous gases and allows the propellent, if this is a compressed gas, to escape but not the aerosol material when under unacceptable pressure due to an unacceptable temperature rise.
When the propellent means consist of compressed air or other compressed gas it is very advantageous to furnish the casing with a safety valve to enable the gas to escape if excess pressure arises.
Very conveniently the bag may have a cylindrical body with a comparatively rigid end formed with longitudinal ribs and the remainder of substantially the same length as the comparatively rigid end so that when the remainder has becomefullyfolded into the comparatively rigid end all the aerosol jet material is excluded.
In orderthatthe invention may be clearly understood and readily carried into effect, an aerosol canister in accordance therewith will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure lisa vertical section of an aerosol canister when filled with a product to be dispensed as an aerosol;
Figure2 is a vertical section similar to Figure 1 showing the canister after all the product has been dispensed;
Figure 3 is a plan of a diaphragm bag contained in the canister of Figures 1 and 2; Figure 4 is a horizontal section through the bag of Figure 3; and
Figure 5 is a section on a greatly enlarged scale of a portion of the wall of the bag of Figures3 and 4.
Referring to Figure 1,thecanistercomprisesa casing consisting of a cylindrical metal body 1 closed at the bottom by a concave metal base 2 and at the top by a frusto-conical ring 3 encircling a central disc 4 carrying the usual central finger actuated valve 5 which is depressed to emit laterally an aerosol spray 6.
Within the canister is a bag comprising a comparatively thick-walled top half 7 and a comparativelythin-walled bottom half 8. The bottom of the bag is closed by a thin diaphragm 9 which when the bag is filled with liquid is separated from the canister base 2 by a propellent 10which may be compressed air or other compressed gas or even a compressed spring.
The top half7 of the bag is stiffened by vertical ribs 11 each 0.030 inches (0.762 mm) deep and 0.250 inches (6.35 mm) wide approximately. The thickness ofthe ribbed material is approximately 0.010 inches (0.254 mm). The top half 7 of the bag is gathered into afrusto-conical shape 12 thatfits into the ring 3 ofthe casing and terminates in an O-ring 13 that is crimped into the top of the casing so that the bag is secured at the top ofthe canister.
When the canister is in use pressure on thefinger actuated valve enablesthe propellent 1 Oto discharge some of the liquid or liquid gas in the bag as an aerosol as a result of the compressed gas forcing the base diaphragm 9 of the bag towards the top ofthe canister. Ultimately, when the whole contents has been used,the diaphragm 9 reachesthetop ofthe canister as shown in Figure 2 with thethin-walled bottom half8 of the bag folded upwards into the thick-walled upper half 7 of the bag and substantially the whole volume of the casing filled with the propel lent.
The concave metal base 2 is furnished with a miniature relief valve or a crimped gas inlet valve used for introducing the propellent into the canister but sufficiently weak after being crimped to permit the escape of gas under excess pressure. In addition or alternatively, a rupture impression 15 (Figure 1) may be provided to serve as a relief valve.
Various modifications may be made to the embodiment described above without departing from the invention. For example, it is envisaged that the invention may be usefully applied in pressurised containers other than aerosol canisters, such as beer barrels.
1. An aerosol canister comprising a casing furnished at one end with a valvefordelivering an aerosol jet material received from a collapsible bag within the casing when the bag is under pressure, means being interposed between the casing and bag for subjecting the bag to such pressure continuously during the useful life ofthe canister and the bag being arrangedtofold up underthe said pressure as the aerosol jet material is discharged to an extent corresponding to the amount of material discharged from the bag.
2. An aerosol canister according to Claim 1, in which the bag has an end adjacentthe valve which is comparatively rigid in relation to the remainder of the bag whereby the remainder of the bag is caused by the pressure means to fold into the comparatively rigid end as the jet material is discharged.

1. An aerosol canister comprising a casing furnished at one end with a valvefordelivering an aerosol jet material received from a collapsible bag within the casing when the bag is under pressure, means being interposed between the casing and bag for subjecting the bag to such pressure continuously during the useful life ofthe canister and the bag being arrangedtofold up underthe said pressure as the aerosol jet material is discharged to an extent corresponding to the amount of material discharged from the bag.
2. An aerosol canister according to Claim 1, in which the bag has an end adjacentthe valve which is comparatively rigid in relation to the remainder of the bag whereby the remainder of the bag is caused by the pressure means to fold into the comparatively rigid end as the jet material is discharged.
3. An aerosol canister according to Claim 2, in which the bag has a cylindrical body with the comparatively rigid end formed with longitudinal ribs and the remainder ofsubstantiallythe same length as the comparatively rigid end so that when the remainder is fully folded into the comparatively rigid end all the aerosol jet material is excluded.
4. An aerosol canister according to any one of the preceding claims, in which the pressure means consist of compressed air or other compressed gas and the casing is furnished with a safety valve setto enabel the gas to escape in the event of excess pressure arising in the canisterasa resultofan external cause while the aerosol jet material is retained in the bag.
5. An aerosol canistersubstantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
