B65B 31/00

US Classification:

222389, 53470

Abstract:

A barrier piston with an integrated seal for use with aerosol containers is disclosed. The barrier piston includes a piston body with flow channels disposed on the surface thereof. Stabilizers of a low durometer material are provided on the flow channels to prevent tilting and binding of the piston body within a container. A seal also of a low durometer material is disposed on the base of the piston body to ensure separation of the product and propellant. Furthermore, a method of multi-step injection molding the barrier piston is disclosed.

International Classification:

B67D 7/84

US Classification:

222183

Abstract:

A dispensing system includes a manifold adapted to be fluidly coupled to a valve stem of a container. A shroud has a gripping portion and is adapted to fit within a user's hand. The gripping portion includes first and second cutout portions and at least one actuation member. A force applied to the gripping portion causes the at least one actuation member to contact the manifold to force the manifold downwardly.

International Classification:

B65D 83/20
B67D 7/84

US Classification:

22240213, 222183

Abstract:

A dispensing system has a central longitudinal axis and includes a shroud adapted to receive a container. The shroud includes a gripping portion adapted to be gripped by a hand of a user. The dispensing system also includes an actuation member adapted to rotate about a rotation point on a rotation axis toward an interior of the shroud in response to a force applied to the actuation member by the user. The actuation member is configured such that a rotation distance is at least about 6 centimeters. The rotation distance is measured in a direction parallel to the central longitudinal axis between a location where the user can apply the force to the actuation member and the rotation point of the actuation member.

Mark E. Johnson - Racine WI, US

International Classification:

B65D 83/20

US Classification:

22240213, 222 1

Abstract:

A method of dispensing includes the steps of exerting a force on an actuator of a dispenser having a conduit with an inlet and an outlet in a first non-actuation state, to place the actuator in a second actuation state. When the actuator is in the second actuation state, the inlet and the outlet of the actuator are moved from a first position to a second position.
