  • This invention relates to systems for dispensing substances from containers and, more particularly, to such systems employing a very simple but effective two phase solid/gas adsorption/desorption mode of operation.

  • the product and pressurised gas are separated from each other within the canister.
  • some form of divider or membrane is present in the canister, for example, one in the form of a bag containing the product to be dispensed which is sealingly held to the canister internal wall in the vicinity of the release valve; the gas is present between the divider and the internal walls of the pack, ie surrounding the bag and the gas pressure in turn exerts pressure on the product in the bag.

It may advantageously be crimped to the canister between the canister wall(s) and its base to form an annular compartment between the disc and the base.
  • the solid compartment may also be in the form of a container or 'widget' that may be fixed to the canister (or part thereof) or allowed to be free within the canister interior which, on use of the canister, allows the pressurised gas to be released therefrom.

  • the product and the solid/gas arrangement of the dispensing system are present in individual compartments in the canister, which are separated by a partition which may be fixed or displaceable.

  • the gas from the solid/gas compartment can flow in to the product compartment, but not vice versa, and this can readily be effected by having a one-way valve in the partition.
  • Each one-way valve should be designed such that is operates only under a certain applied pressure, for example a small fraction of 1 bar; otherwise the valve does not open.
  • valve With certain designs of valve, it is possible for a single valve to operate separately as a pressure thereof sensitive valve in either direction depending on the requirements of the system.
  • the container for the carbon should have one-way valve means in order to allow the carbon dioxide to be desorbed from the solid and pass in to the product compartment when the pressure in the canister falls, ie on operation of the canister dispensing valve, and thereby maintain canister pressures at predetermined levels for further use of the aerosol.
  • the one-way valve advantageously is formed integrally with the partition and is preferably made from a plastic material, for example PET or silicone rubber.
  • a displaceable partition With a displaceable partition, this will generally be impermeable to the gas and may take the form, for example, of a bag for holding the product or a piston slideable within the canister with the desorbed gas from the carbon deforming the bag or moving the piston within the canister under the increased gas pressure applied thereon during actuation of the dispensing valve.
  • the carbon is advantageously held in a container which is preferably proximate to the dispensing block, for example by being attached thereto or may be less firmly linked, for example via a tube through which the carbon dioxide can be introduced in to the container.
  • the dispensing block itself advantageously incorporates a canister dispensing valve and passageways linking the interior of the canister with the exterior thereof via the valve. As such, the dispensing block, together with the carbon container, can readily and effectively be sealingly inserted in to an aperture in the canister during canister assembly.
  • the linkage of the container to the dispensing block generally allows firstly for a ready operation of the pressure pack and secondly allows for a simple mode of manufacture and assembly of the aerosol canister by allowing for the dispensing block - incorporating the canister dispensing valve, necessary passageways linking the interior of the canister with the exterior thereof, and also the carbon container linked thereto - to be inserted in to an aperture in the canister, ideally the top of the canister, advantageously in a single assembly step.
  • the invention therefore allows standard designs of canister to be employed without modification to the body thereof in order to suit implementation of the invention generally and to include canisters made of either steel or aluminium or other material.
  • the product to be dispensed by the system of the invention is commonly inserted in to the canister via a dip tube depending from the dispensing block and through which, in use of the aerosol, the product is dispensed via the dispensing valve in the reverse direction.
  • the solid/gas container is
  • the dispensing block advantageously linked to the dispensing block, for example by being positioned co-axially about the dip tube and as such can be regarded as an integral part of the dispensing block.
  • the block as a whole can therefore readily be placed in a canister aperture simultaneously during canister assembly.
  • Means must also be provided for the introduction of the gas under pressure in to the carbon container in order to cause it to be adsorbed on to the carbon and subsequently desorbed therefrom on operation of the dispensing valve. This can be effected, for example, by providing a suitable route via the dispensing block in to the container interior and including (as described above) a one-way valve to prevent back flow of the gas.
  • the product dispensing system provides a simple and effective way of utilising gas desorbed from the adsorbent jDer se in order to provide a sufficient gas volume to produce an initial gas pressure and thereafter to maintain gas volumes, and necessary gas pressures, to enable a complete product dispense to be effected.
  • the gas With regard to the gas, it should be introduced in to the dispensing system under pressure and which will be adsorbed on to the carbon such that its molecules are much more closely packed together than in the usual gaseous form at the same temperature and pressure. This means that, when the gas is introduced under pressure in to a "gas space" surrounding the carbon, considerably more gas will be adsorbed on to the carbon. Consequently, as the system is activated, typically by actuating the pressure release valve, there will in practice be only a relative and surprisingly small pressure reduction within the system which, in use of the system, therefore allows for the effective dispensing of all of the product.
  • Activated carbons are well known p_er se and have the advantage that they are relatively inexpensive; they are non-polymeric substances.
  • activated carbons are manufactured from a variety of carbonaceous materials including (1) animal material (blood, flesh, bones, etc), (2) plant materials such as wood, coconut shell, corn cobs, kelp, coffee beans, rice hulls and the like and (3) peat, coal, tars, petroleum residues and carbon black.

  • gases including water vapour, are more strongly held at the carbon adsorption sites than the adsorbed gas and carbon dioxide in particular and therefore should be rigorously excluded from the atmosphere around the carbon; subsequent attempts to dislodge the strongly held gases will not be successful.

  • the adoption of these preferred embodiments with a blanketing atmosphere that includes carbon dioxide itself is beneficial in that it allows an initial level of adsorption of carbon dioxide to occur - together with a dissipation of the generated heat - prior to the use of the carbon in the dispensing systems. This can lead to significant advantages from the resultant lower amounts of heat generated when the remaining carbon dioxide is adsorbed under pressure in subsequent high speed production of canisters incorporating the dispensing systems .
