Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to the art of aerosol containers and more particularly, is concerned with improvements in the construction of an aerosol valve housing and a method of manufacturing the same.
  • the aerosol container used today comprises a canister or bottle designed to withstand substantial internal pressure while carryin a quantity of some material it is desired to dispense, such as, for example, insecticide, paint, starch, cosmetics, and the like.
  • a quantity of some propellant is likewise included in the container, the propellant conventionally comprising a highly volatile liquid material, such as Freon.
  • Most containers are intended to be used in an erect position, and hence, a valve mechanism is provided mounted to the top of the container and hermetically sealed thereto with an external valve release means, such as, for example, a push-button.
  • the push-button carries a nozzle or atomizer, and it is intended that when the valve is released, the propellant will drive a quantity of material through the push-button and out through the nozzle.
  • the valve being at the top of the container, although internally installed, is therefore interposed in a conduit which must dip into the container and have an opening adjacent to the bottom of the container.
  • the container will be under such temperature normally that the propellant will be in a vapor phase at substantially super atmospheric pressure and above the liquid material in the container.
  • the valve mechanism normally is installed within a housing that is adapted to be secured to the top of the container.
  • the dip tube preferably is a flexible member of soft synthetic plastic material, such as, for example, polyethylene, polyvinyl, polypropylene, or th like, while the valve housing may be formed from a more rigid synthetic plastic material.
  • the valve housing may be made from similar plastic materials as the dip tube where circumstances dictate using thicker and heavier gauges of such material such as will be sufficiently stiff to provide the desired results.
  • the valve housing is formed of a more rigid synthetic plastic, such as, for example, nylon, acetal resins, and the like.
  • any of the plastic mate-rials used will be compatible with the chemical compositions loaded in the canister, i.e., resistant to chemical reaction therewith.
  • the dip or siphon tube has been secured to the valve housing by several methods which can be classified generally as being one of two types.
  • the housing is formed of sheet metal
  • the dip tube is inserted into the end of the housing and the metal is crimped or swaged around the dip tube, sealing the same.
  • These dip tubes are somewhat pliable and hence, the crimping will hold them securely since there will be some cold flow of the plastic material so that the crimped ridge or projection will sink somewhat into the surface of the dip tube.
  • the second method is to provide the end of the housing with an opening having a ridge therein and forcing the end of the dip tube into said opening, relying upon the flexibility of the dip tube to enable the same to pass into the opening and relying upon the cold iiow thereof to embed the ridge into the dip tube for holding the same securely.
  • the primary object of the invention is to provide a construction which lends itself to high speed assembly of the dip tube to the valve housing.
  • valve manufacturer produces an 3,l5,3l8 Patented Dec. 1, 1964 assembly which includes the valve, valve housing, spray head, and dip tube all built into a cap or cover. It is in this form that the assembly is supplied to the packager who applies the assembly to its own containers. These assemblies, therefore, are handled, transported and stored between the time they are made and the time they are used, and it is essential that the dip tube remain in place.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a construction in which the dip tube is assembled to the valve housing by a clamping structure which holds the same securely against pull-out.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a valve housing structure in which'assembly can be effected easily and with high speed.
  • Still a further object of the invention is to provide a simple, yet, effective construction for securing a dip tube to the valve housing in which provision is made for using a portion of the vapor phase within the canister to assist in atomization of the material being sprayed.
  • valve housing will be described for use with a type of distal end of a valve and atomizer.
  • valve housing will be described for use with a type of distal end of a valve and atomizer.
  • the invention not be limited to this form, nor limited to the precise detail of the remainder of the construction.
  • FIG. 1 is a median sectional view taken through an aerosol dispenser valve housing and valve mechanism constructed in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line 22 of FIG. 1 and in the direction indicated.
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the resilient clamping sleeve for securing the dip tube in place within the valve housing of the assembly.
  • FIG. 4 is a median sectional view taken through the valve housing in FIG. 1 but showing the same in its fabricated condition prior to being associated with the valve assembly of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 5 is a bottom plan view of the valve housing of FIG. 4.
  • FIG. 6 is a view similar to that of FIG. 4 but showing the manner in which the dip tube is associated with the valve housing during assembly thereof.
  • the invention is characterized by providing a valve housing having a cylindrical portion adapted to be engaged with the upper end of a dip tube.
  • the lower end of the cylindrical portion is provided with a constricted throat and the upper end of the dip tube is adapted to be engaged in the throat and held in place by a flexible clamping sleeve that is driven into the throat while the dip tube is disposed within the sleeve.
  • the diameter of the sleeve normally is greater than the internal diameter of the throat so that as the clamping sleeve is pushed into the throat it will constrict about and securely hold the upper end of the dip tube.”
  • the invention is further characterized by providing the clamping sleeve, where desirable, with an external groove capable of establishing communication between the interior of the valve housing and the upper portion of the container to which the assembly is adapted to be secured, thereby enabling a vapor phase to be transmitted to the valve mechanism simultaneously with the passage of the material and propellant through the dip tube.
  • FIG. 1 there is illustrated an assembly designated which is sold in the form shown for attachment to the top of a container by a packager.
  • the upper portion of the assembly 14 is of substantially little or no consequence insofar "as the invention is concerned and may take many difierent forms.
  • an outer metal cap 12 having a depending annular skirt 14 which is adapted to be orimped around the neck of a bottle and have the valve housing 16 secured therein.
  • the bottom portion of the valve housing is of novel construction and will be described shortly, but the upper end thereof is more or less conventional.
  • Said upper end includes an integral disc portion 18 which is crirnped within the cap 12 by an annular deformation 2%.
  • One or more resilient gaskets 22 and 24 may be sandwiched between the disc portion 18 and the upper annular step formations 26 and 28 respectively formed in the cap 12.
  • the cap 12 normally is made of sheet metal while the valve housing 16, in this case, is of a rigid plastic matea structure which will be described while the upper end engages the valve seat 36 formed on the bottom of the plug 30;
  • the upper end of said plug is provided with a hollow stem 38 that extends tightly through the gasket 22 and 24 and out the opening 40 at the top of the cap 12.
  • A'passageway 42 in the center of the stem 38 communicates through suitable passageways in the finger piece 44 with a spray nozzle 46 through which the material stored in the cannister is adapted to be atomized.
  • the finger piece 44 will be removable but other structures are capable of being usedsuch as, for example, those in which the finger piece 44 and stem 38 are integral and not connected to the valve body.
  • the upper portion of the plug 30 provides a shoulder 48 that engages against the bottom of the gasket 24 and is biased to this condition by the spring 34.
  • At the bottom end of the passageway 42 are provided one or more lateral passageways 50 by means of which it is intended that the passageway 42 will communicate with the chamber 52 above the plug 30.
  • the plug 30 has a central axial passageway 54 which carries material from the mixing chamber 56 upward into a transverse passageway 58 and thence to the chamber 52.
  • the throat 62 may extend axially for the full dimension of the thickened portion fill or, as shown, may be in two parts,
  • the part 64 is formed by virtue of a slight taper provided on the interior of the throat to give rise to a ridge 66.
  • a clamping sleeve is intended to be driven into the throat, and the presence of the ridge 66 assists in forcing the clamping sleeve to constrict.
  • the taper formed in the portion 64 decreases toward the ridge 66 and forms a pilot for the clamping sleeve as it is driven into the throat 62.
  • the clamping sleeve referred to is shown at 68.
  • the sleeve has a diameter which is greater than the inside diameter of the throat 62 at the ridge 66.
  • the sleeve has an axially extending split 70, the thickness of which is such that when the sleeve is driven home into the throat 62, the sleeve will constrict with the opposite sides of the split 70 abutted in tight engagement, thereby, in effect, providing a continuous sleeve.
  • the sleeve On its interior, the sleeve is provided with a smal ridge 72 that extends circumferentially about said interior.
  • a small external groove 74 may be provided extending axially on the outside surface of the clamping sleeve 68. When the sleeve is installed within the throat 62, the dimension of the groove 74 will not materially change.
  • valve housing 16 has been formed independently of the sleeve 68,.
  • the sleeve 68 being substantially greater in diameter internally than the external diameter of the dip tube, is readily fed over the dip tube and moved to the bottom end of the cylindrical portion 32.
  • the lead end i of the sleeve 68 is chamfered internally as shown at 78 to enable the same to slide along the dip tube as the sleeve is installed.
  • the said leading end 78 will engage the tapered entrance S0 of the valve housing 16, and as the sleeve is pushed into the throat, it will constrict about the dip tube closing the split '70 and clamping the dip tube within itself with the ridge 72 sinking into the together loosely and easily, and the clamping'operation' permanently secures them together.
  • the split 70 must be closed with its opposite sides tightly abutting. If desired,
  • the split '70 may be closed, but an.
  • external groove may be provided to enable a vapor or gas phase above the liquid within the container to which the assembly is to be secured to pass into the mixing chamber 56 so as to provide more efiicient atomization. Otherwise, the external groove 74 will provide for passage of gas from the upper portion of the container through the throat 62 for the same purpose.
  • the sleeve 68 is fabricated separately from the valve housing 16 and then assembled to the dip tube 76 in mechanical production, it is preferable to assemble the same in the manner to be described hereinafter.
  • the valve housing 16, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, preferably is molded with the collar or clamping sleeve 68 formed as an integral extension thereof.
  • the construction of the sleeve 68 of FIG. 3 is identical to that of FIGS. 4 and 6 with the exception that there is a small integral, annular web 82 that connects the clamping sleeve 68 with the thickened portion 60 of the cylindrical part 32.
  • This web 82 is located at the juncture of the throat portion 64 and the lead taper 80. Since the material from which the entire structure is molded is plastic, by making the web 82 quite thin, the same will be frangible.
  • valve housing 16 In the formation of this assembly, the first thing that is done is to connect the valve housing 16 to the dip tube 76.
  • this may be done in one operation. It is a simple matter to lead the section of dip tube 76 through the top of the valve housing 16, since everywhere along its movement, the diameters are much greater than those of the dip tube.
  • the article comprising the housing 16 and sleeve 68 is mounted on a suitable fixture or mandrel 84, as shown in FIG. 6, that is provided with an opening 86 within which the bottom end of the dip tube may be secured with the proper length thereof protruding.
  • valve housing 16 may have many different configurations and need not have those shown in the drawings.
  • the ridges which are provided on the bottom of the disc 18 are intended to cooperate with the gasket shown at 88 when the assembly 10 is secured to the top of the bottle, but no limitations are intended by this arrangement.
  • An aerosol dispenser valve construction which comprises, a hollow valve housing having an entrance formed at one end thereof, a dip tube adapted to have its end secured within said entrance, a clamping sleeve encircling said end frictionally constrictively to engage the same,
  • a structure as claimed in claim 2 in which the split of said clamping sleeve forms a gap and the said gap is closed when said sleeve is disposed within said entrance.
  • an aerosol dispenser valve construction which includes a hollow valve housing having an entrance formed at one end thereof, a dip tube joined to the housing in an otherwise sealed juncture with the internal bore of the dip tube communicating with the interior of the housing through said entrance, said dip tube being constricted circumferentially at said juncture, and auxiliary conduit means comprising an elongated groove formation between the outer circumferential wall of said dip tube and the inner circumferential wall of said valve housing to which said tube is joined, said groove formation cooperating between said dip tube and housing at said juncture to provide a passageway through said juncture into the housing in the general axial direction of said entrance to aid in atomization of the product to be dispersed.
