Definitions

  • VALVE FOR DISPENSING ONE OR MORE PRESSURIZED FLUIDS It is well-known that pressurized containers adapted for the storage of products which are to be dispensed in the form of a liquid or aerosol jet are provided at their upper ends with a dispensing valve.
  • This valve is, in general, mounted in a cup at the upper end of the container. The valve is actuated by the user by depressing a push-button or a control member forming part, for example, of a dispensing cover.
  • valve which may be used for a plurality of different applications regardless of whether it is to control a single stream or several streams of several different products to be simultaneously dispensed.
  • This valve also has the advantage of being especially inexpensive. It is thus possible to use a single type of valve for all pressurized containers.
  • valve which is particularly adapted to be mounted at the top of a pressurized container of the aerosol bomb type, which valve is characterized by the fact that it comprises:
  • a central tube having at least one orifice in its lateral wall, which orifice is adapted to connect the inside of the tube to the inside of the container, said tube having a closed end inside the container and an open end on contact with a push button.
  • At least one sleeve made of a resilient material sealingly encircling said tube, the number of sleeves of the valve being equal to the maximum number of orifices which have been provided in the central tube, and the outlet of the valve being positioned at its upper end, with the upper sleeve being mechanically attached to the central tube by its upper end.
  • a jacket fastened to the container associated with the valve said jacket gripping each sleeve in a fluidtight manner along at least one part of its lateral surface and providing an abutment at the lower end of each of the sleeves of the valve, each of said abutments being positioned slightly below each of the orifices in the central tube when the valve is in closed position.
  • At least one inlet for products to be dispensed said inlet opening into the said jacket between an abutment and the lower end of an adjacent sleeve.
  • the valve according to the invention is a single-flow valve comprising a single elastic sleeve, with the outer jacket gripping the elastic sleeve only at its lower end.
  • the outer jacket is a cylinder seated in the center of the valve-carrying cup, said cylinder having at its lower end a base perforated by a central orifice.
  • a central tube in the valve is closed at its lower end and has a single orifice in its lateral wall, said orifice being positioned, when the valve is closed, inside the elastic sleeve, near the end of said sleeve which abuts the base of the cylinder outer jacket of the sleeve.
  • the central tube may be a hypodermic needle closed at one of its ends and perforated by a hole in its lateral wall, with the elastic sleeve consisting of a rubber tube gripping this needle.
  • the orifice in the central tube is inside the sleeve, the sleeve being held at its lower end inside its cylindrical outer jacket.
  • the user desires to open the valve to dispense the product stored therein, he presses on the open end of the central tube with a push-button and thus on the free end of the sleeve which is mechanically attached thereto.
  • this sleeve Since this sleeve is held against axial movement at its lower end, it expands in the zone between the push-button and the cylindrical outer jacket, and the central tube moves simultaneously relative to the lower part of the sleeve so that the orifice in the tube is clear of the sleeve and the inside of the tube is brought into communication with the inside of the pressurized container.
  • the sleeve When the user releases this pres sure on the push-button, the sleeve returns to its initial shape, due to its own elasticity and, due to the mechanical connection of its upper part to the central tube, returns the central tube to its initial position, that is to say it produces a sliding movement of the central tube with respect to the lower part of the sleeve, without any sliding of the upper part of the sleeve with respect to the central tube.
  • this valve serves as a safety device in the case of an abnormal increase in the pressure inside the container during storage.
  • the pressure operates on the lower part of the elastic sleeve which is held in place only by its frictional engagement inside the cylindrical outer jacket.
  • the amount of this friction may be adjusted during the manufacture of the valve by regulating the hardness of the rubber, the diameter of the sleeve, and the length of the sleeve which is inserted in the outer jacket. It is thus possible to regulate the maximum pressure which can be resisted by the sleeve, so that said sleeve is ejected in case this pressure is exceeded, thus avoiding explosion of the container.
  • valve according to this first embodiment, to fill the pressurized container under pressure and place the central tube and the associated sleeve in position after filling by forcefully depressing the sleeve in the cylindrical seat provided in the valve cap. It is also possible to position the complete valve in the filling head supplying the pressurizing gas for automatic insertion.
  • said valve is' a two-stream valve comprising two elastic sleeves and a central tube having two orifices in its lateral wall.
  • the outer jacket of the two sleeves consists in the first place, of a central cylindrical seat in the central zone of the valve cup, which seat holds the upper sleeve of the valve, and forms an abut ment at the base of this upper sleeve as has been indicated in the first variation hereinbefore described.
  • the valve also comprises a cup mounted on the recessed seat in which the upper sleeve is located, said cup being positioned inwardly of the container with respect to the valve cup, gripping the lower sleeve of the valve, and being traversed by the central tube of the valve which extends along the axis of the two sleeves of the valve.
  • This cup has a lateral inlet duct for admitting one of the products to be dispensed to the tube.
  • the distance between the two orifices in the central tube of the valve is equal to the distance between the abutments for the sleeves of the valve formed respectively by the bottom of the cylindrical seat and the bottom of the cup gripping the lower sleeve.
  • the valve is positioned upwardly
  • the user wants to open the valve, he presses on the central tube of the valve by means of a push-button and thereby on the upper end of the upper sleeve which is mechanically connected thereto.
  • the free part between the push-button and the cap of the valve deforms and expands.
  • the central tube may slide with respect to the central part of the upper sleeve and with respect to the lower sleeve.
  • the two orifices in the tube are then no longer closed by these sleeves. It follows that the product enclosed inside the pressurized container, on the one hand, and the product admitted through the inlet duct which is between the two sleeves, on the other hand, may penetrate into the central tube and be dispensed.
  • the upper sleeve When the user releases his pressure on the pushbutton, the upper sleeve returns to its initial position and causes the central tube to slide in the opposite direction due to the mechanical connection between the upper part of the sleeve and the tube.
  • said valve is for multiple streams. It comprises more than two elastic sleeves, said sleeves being at least equal in number to the number of streams to be simultaneously dispensed and the central tube comprises an equal number of orifices in its wall.
  • the cylindrical jacket of the valve consists, in the first place, of a cylindrical seat sunk into the center of the valve cap, in which seat the base of the upper sleeve of the valve is inserted.
  • An assembly of cups, preferably all identical is provided, each mounted on the other, with the cup nearest the valve cap being mounted on the cylindrical seat in the center of said cap, each cap holding at its lower end a sleeveand being axially transversed by the central tube of the valve.
  • An inlet for one of the products to be dispensed opens laterally into each of the cups between the sleeve enclosed in that cap and the bottom of the cup on which that cup is mounted, the distance between two successive orifices in the central tube of the valve being equal to the distance between the planes in which the corresponding sleeves abut the bottoms of the cup or the bottom of the seat in the center of the valve cap.
  • the sleeve enclosed in each of the cups is gripped by said cup or mechanically connected by its outer surface to the cup.
  • the central tube may be subjected to slight displacement toward the outside, which serves as an indication that the pressures inside the container are abnormal.
  • the regulation of this safety factor is a function of the friction between the upper sleeve and its cylindrical seat in the valve cap.
  • the cylindrical jacket may be molded from plastic material, and may consequently be relatively inexpensive.
  • the central tube of the valve may be, in all cases, a hypodermic needle closed at one end, in which needle the desired number of radial orifices are provided.
  • the sleeves may simply be sec? tion of rubber tubing.
  • a fourth embodiment of the valve according to the invention which may be used if the valve is to dispense at least two fluids, the distance between two consecutive orifices in the central tube is not equal to the distance between the abutments on which the corresponding sleeves rest.
  • one of the orifices is opened before or after the other orifice or orifices. It is thus possible to dispense, depending upon the extent to which the central tube is depressed, either a single product, or the mixture of a certain number of products selected among those which may be dispensed.
  • the spacing between the two ends of two sleeves is less than the distance between the abutments on which the two sleeves rest, and the distance between the two corresponding orifices is smaller than the former, the opening of one orifice leads to the closing of a previously opened orifice. It is thus possible to dispense singly each of a group of products separately stored in the same container, the selection of the products being dependent upon the depth of depression of the central tube. De pending upon the relative position and the length of the sleeves, any desired combination of products may be dispensed.
  • the present invention has a further object the new article of manufacture which consists of a pressurized container of the aerosol bomb type, characterized by the fact that it comprises at its upper end at least one valve such as has just been described.

  • the cap 2 comprises a central cylindrical part 4, the bottom 5 of which is perforated by a recess 6 through which the tube 7 is adapted to slide, said tube being closed at its lower end.
  • a rubber sleeve 8 encircles the tube 7 and its lower end is gripped inside the cylindrical part 4.
  • a pushbutton 9 is mounted on the top of the tube 7 and has an outlet duct 10, the end of which is partially blocked by a spray nozzle 11. The pushbutton 9 bears simultaneously on the end of the tube 7 and the upper end of the sleeve 8.
  • the tube 7 has at its lower end an orifice 12 in its lateral wall.
  • the orifice 12 is positioned, when the valve is closed, as shown in FIG. 1, at a level such that it is blocked by the section of the sleeve 8 gripped in the cylindrical part 4.
  • the sleeve 8 expands in the zone 8a which is intermediate between the section on which the push-button 9 bears and the section which is gripped in the cylindrical part 4. This produces a shortening of the sleeve and simultaneously a sliding of the tube 7 inside the sleeve.
  • the orifice 12 slides with respect to the sleeve and enters the container 1 thus permitting the pressurized fluid inside that container to penetrate into the tube 7 through the orifice 12 and be dispensed through the duct 10 and the spray nozzle 11.
  • the sleeve 8 When the user releases his pressure on the pushbutton 9, the sleeve 8 returns the tube 7 to its initial position, due to its elasticity, since this sleeve grips the tube 7 tightly enough at its upper end to produce sliding of the opposite end of the said tube.

  • the container 21 holds one of the products to be dispensed and the duct 37 is connected to a pressurized container which holds a second product to be dispensed simultaneously with the first.
  • the sleeve 26 When the user releases pressure on the push-button 31, the sleeve 26, due to its own elasticity, tends to return to its initial shape, which results in a sliding of the central tube 27 in the opposite direction and blocking of the two orifices 35 and 36, so that distribution ceases. It should be noted that, after dispensing has been discontinued, the only place which contains a mixture of the two products to be simultaneously dispensed is the inside of the tube 27, which has a small volume.
