Definitions

  • Another object of the invention is to provide an aerosol container and/or valve therefor for dispensing measured quantities of aerosol material, which valve is capable of being utilized in pressure filling the container.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide a novel mounting for the valve to produce a substantially fiat top on the container.
  • valve stem is carried by a valve housing and is slidably mounted in a valve disk and provided with a collar engaging the valve disk so that two points of sealing, namely at the bore of the disk and on the surface of the disk, are obtained.
  • the valve stem has a discharge passage therein communicating with a lateral passage normally located outside of the seal and movable longitudinally through the bore to the interior of the valve housing when it is desired to dispense the aerosol material.
  • a second valve means is provided in the valve housing of impervious material which is adapted to seal off the housing from the interior of the container prior to the movement of the lateral passage into communication with the interior of the housing, thereby permitting only the entrapped aerosol material in the housing to be discharged.
  • means is provided to by-pass the second valve during the filling operation.
  • the valve of the present invention is formed from simple components which can be readily manufactured and assembled which are inexpensive to manufacture and which are efiicient and effective in use.
  • a feature of the invention resides in the provision of a double seal for the container which effectively prevents any aerosol material from escaping from the container until the valve stem has been moved a substantial distance so as to move the lateral passage from the exterior to the interior of the container.
  • Another feature of the invention resides in the provision of guide means for guiding the valve stem so as to prevent tipping thereof which might unintentionally cause discharge of the material around the valve.
  • Figure 1 shows a sectional view through the valve in one form of the invention with the valve in normal position.
  • Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1 showing the valve in discharge position.
  • Fig. 3 is a view of the valve of Figs. 1 and 2 in filling position.
  • Fig. 4 shows a longitudinal sectional view of the valve of another form of the invention in normal position.
  • Fig. 5 is a detailed sectional view along the lines 55 of Fig. 4.
  • the invention is shown in Figs. 1 to 3 as applied to a valve for dispensing measured quantities of aerosol or fluid material under pressure and is particularly useful in dispensing cosmetics or the like material where lirnited quantities are required.
  • an aerosol container 1! has a valve housing 11 mounted therein and, while the housing may be made of any suitable impervious material, it is at present preferred to form it of a sheet metal stamping or drawn piece of tubular construction having an aperture 12 in inner wall 11a at one end, and an enlarged mouth 13 at the other end adapted to receive a sealing gasket and a valve disk 14 of suitable resilient sealing material.
  • the enlarged mouth is formed by providing the housing with a lateral flange 15 having on its periphery a cylindrical flange 16 forming, in effect, a cup into which the disk 14 can be inserted.
  • the mounting means is formed on the top 10a of the container by providing it with an outwardly extending, dished portion 17 into which the enlarged mouth of the valve is inserted.
  • the housing may be held to the mounting means by any suitable means, such as a press fit or the like, it is herein illustrated as being held in position by an indented portion 1% extending under the large mouth to securely hold it in position. This construction not only mounts the housing on the container but also secures the valve disk in the enlarged month.
  • valve disk is provided with a substantially cylindrical bore 14a and the mounting means is provided with an aligned aperture 18 through which a valve stem 19 projects.
  • the valve stem is preferably formed as a unitary member and, while it may be made as a hollow member on an eyelet machine, it is at present preferred to form it as a solid member by means of a header or screw machine.
  • it is provided with a cylindrical portion 20 adapted to be slidably mounted in the bore 14a in the valve disk so as to project through the aligned aperture 18 in the dish-shaped portion of the mounting means to the exterior of the container.
  • the bore of the disk is of such a diameter that it frictionally engages the cylindrical portion 20 and provides a seal therewith, yet readily permits it to be longitudinally moved therethrough from the sealing position of Fig. l to the discharge position of Fig. 2.
  • an enlarged section or collar 21 adapted to extend outwardly from the stem so as to engage the undersurface of the valve disk.
  • the collar is of a dimension larger than the aperture 13 in the mounting means so that as the valve is held in sealing position the valve disk will be clamped between the collar and the wall of the dish-shaped portion to produce a second seal for the device.
  • the stem below the collar is provided with a portion 22 of reduced diameter which is adapted to pass through the aperture 12 in the inner wall of the housing.
  • valve stem so positioned will be guided adjacent each end by the aperture 18 in the mounting means and the aperture 12 at the inner wall of the housing, which apertures are in alignment and hold the stem against tilting movement and restrict it to substantially longitudinal movement so that there can be no leakage between the walls of the bore in the disk and the cylindrical portion.
  • valve stem is urged to normal sealing position by any suitable means.
  • a spring 23 is positioned within the housing so as to press against the collar to urge the stem to projected position and the collar into sealing relation.
  • the upper end of the stem has mounted thereon an actuating button 24 so as to be an extension thereof.
  • the button has a centrally disposed recess 24a which aligns with and forms a continuation of a longitudinally extending passage 25 formed in the cylindrical portion of the valve stem. Adjacent the inner end of the passage 25, there is provided a lateral passage 26. extending through the wall of the stem, which lateral passage is normally located on the exterior of the container as shown in Fig. 1.
  • the upper end of the longitudinal passage connects with a second lateral passage 24b formed in the button so as to communicate with recess 24:: and which forms the discharge aperture for the device.
  • a second lateral passage 24b formed in the button so as to communicate with recess 24:: and which forms the discharge aperture for the device.
  • the bottom 24c of the button engages the top wall of the dished portion and forms a stop for the valve stem when the inner lateral passage has been moved into communication with the interior of the valve housing so that fluid under pressure in the valve housing will pass therefrom through the lateral passage 26 to the longitudinal passage 25 to the outer lateral dispensing passage 24b.
  • a second valve means 27 is provided for sealing off the housing from the interior of the container so as to trap a predetermined quantity of material therein prior to the movement of the inner passage into communication with the valve housing. While this may take many forms,
  • a second sealing disk 28 is inserted in the bottom of the housing and held in place by a suitable retainer 29.
  • the sealing disk 28 has a bore therethrough and the valve stem has a cooperating valve member 30 provided on the section of reduced diameter in such a location that when the stem is moved longitudinally inwardly the valve member will engage the bore in the second disk and seal the interior of the housing from the container prior to the movement of the inner lateral passage to communication with the valve housing.
  • the button will stop the stem in this position to insure the proper location of the second valve means during the dispensing operation.
  • top for the container is substantially flat and is provided with a channel rim 33 into which sealing compounds may be flowed or preformed seals can be provided and the top then curled over into sealing relation with bead 34 on the container in the usual'manner.
  • This provides a top which is free of the 4 usual depressions which may collect foreign material, is sanitary and of an attractive appearance.
  • Figs. 4 and 5 the invention is shown as applied to a normal dispensing valve.
  • the housing 11 is a shorter housing since it does not have to accommodate the second valve means, but otherwise it is of the same construction as shown in Fig. 1.
  • the valve stem 19a cooperates with the valve disk 14 in the same manner as heretofore described, though it may be shorter than stem 19.
  • It has the cylindrical portion 20a, the enlarged portion 21a and a portion 22a of reduced diameter cooperating with the aperture 12 in the valve housing.
  • the spring 23 urges the valve to scaling position.
  • a section 35 thereof is made of reduced diameter and a flat surface 36 is formed thereon as shown in Figs. 4 and 5.
  • a sleeve or tubular member 37 is slipped over the end of the stem to provide the cylindrical exterior of the stem to be slidably received in the valve disk.
  • the sleeve is provided with spaced apertures 38, 39 for communicating with the longitudinal passage, the inner aperture 38 being located adjacent the outside of the container and the outer aperture 39 being the dispensing aperture located at the other end of the passage.
  • the sleeve is provided with an embossed center 40 at the end thereof and a suitably shaped fingerpiece 41 having an aperture to receive the embossed center which is headed over at 42 to secure it in place.
  • the valve stem is moved inwardly against the spring 23 and will slide through the bore 14a in the valve disk 14 and theinner passage 38 will be moved into communication with the interior of the housing to permit discharge of the material from'the container through passages 37, 38 and discharge aperture 39.
  • the apertures 12 and 18 in the housing and mounting member will maintain the stem against tipping movement and the spring when fully compressed will form a stop limiting the inward movement of the valve stem. 7
  • a siphon tube 43 may be connected to the housing to extend to the bottom of the container in the usual manner.
  • the present invention provides a simple container and/ or valve construction which is easy to operate, can be readily manufactured and includes a minimum number of parts which can be readily assembled, is eflicient in operation, and in the form of the invention shown in Figs. 1 to 3 provides a unique measuring arrangement for aerosol material.
