Filed:

Appl. No.:

12/001751

Inventors:

James Lind - Lenexa KS, US

Assignee:

Battelle Memorial Institute - Columbus OH

International Classification:

B05B 5/00
F23D 11/32

US Classification:

239690, 2396901, 239692, 239704, 239708, 222390

Abstract:

A cartridge for an electrohydrodynamic spraying device and a spraying device incorporating the cartridge, where the cartridge includes a locking mechanism. The cartridge is disposable, and can contain therapeutic or other fluid products. The fluid is delivered from the cartridge by a shaft-mounted piston, while the locking mechanism can be selectively engaged with the shaft such that in the engaged position, the locking mechanism prevents the piston from advancing by inhibiting movement of the shaft. When the locking mechanism is disengaged from the shaft, the shaft and piston are free to move, such as in response to a power source in the spraying device. The selective engagement between the locking mechanism and the shaft during periods of inoperability of the spray device prevents the buildup of fluid pressure in the cartridge that otherwise could blurt out upon subsequent operation.

International Classification:

US Classification:

239 3, 239696, 222326

Abstract:

A cartridge for a spraying device, as well as a spraying device incorporating the cartridge. The cartridge includes fluid reservoir a wetted lead screw and piston that upon rotation can pressurize a fluid within the reservoir. A self-actuating seal is placed between the piston and the lead screw, and extends into the reservoir such that the pressurized fluid applies a compressive force to the outer surface of the seal, causing the seal to clamp down on the lead screw. Such sealing is especially beneficial in electrohydrodyπamic spraying devices and electrostatic spraying devices.

International Classification:

B65D 83/00

US Classification:

22240211, 22240213

Abstract:

Aerosol spray devices () may include one or more actuators () located on the sides or on the rear of the device wherein actuation of the one or more actuators disperses product from a container in communication with the spray device. A selector mechanism () may be used to toggle between an “on” and an “off” position for the one or more actuators.
