Filed:

Dec 30, 1982

Appl. No.:

6/454710

Inventors:

Walter Beard - Middlebury CT

International Classification:

B65D 8314

US Classification:

22240222

Abstract:

A stem tiltable valve assembly whose valve body is provided with a reciprocally moveable stem actuated cup member that incorporates a resilient gasket which makes sealing engagement with a related complementary member of the valve assembly. The valve assembly provides a capability for a maximum dispensing flow through the valve assembly when the valve stem is tilted to open the valve.

Appl. No.:

6/405685

Inventors:

Walter C. Beard - Middlebury CT

International Classification:

B67D 532

US Classification:

222153

Abstract:

A tilt valve structure for pressurized containers having a base seal which is operated by tiltable deflection of the nozzle to dispense the contents of the aerosol container. The valve structure incorporates a deformable bridge stop structure which retains the structure in a closed but assembled configuration after valve manufacture until usage, including assembly of valve onto a pressurizable container. The bridge stop structure can assume two positions: an initial position and a second valve operating position. The bridge stop structure can be formed of inelastic or elastic material, such as metal.

Assignee:

Aerosol Techniques Incorporated - Milford CT

International Classification:

A47L 1326

US Classification:

401139

Abstract:

Cleaning and scrubbing tool having a cleaning head and aerosol can handle in which a suitably operational scrub pad is supported by head bracket extension in free cleaning liquid passing relation, interlocked with portions of the pad by localized deflection of the extension, suitably by locally heating or solvating the extension to deflectable condition within the pad interior.

Filed:

Oct 1, 1982

Appl. No.:

6/432298

Inventors:

Walter C. Beard - Middlebury CT

International Classification:

B65D 8314

US Classification:

22240222

Abstract:

A tilting nozzle valve assembly incorporating a nozzle actuated moveable cup member. The valve assembly has a high flow capability for passing highly viscous fluids therethrough. The moveable cup member provides a positive valve sealing action between itself and a gasket in the valve assembly. The moveable cup member features a camming member which provides both an accelerated valve opening action responsive to nozzle tilting and also a maximizable opening between the moveable cup member and the gasket.

Appl. No.:

7/271718

Inventors:

Walter C. Beard - Middlebury CT

International Classification:

A61M 1100

US Classification:

604 75

Abstract:

A dispensing package adapted for delivering medicine to a nasal cavity for absorption into the bloodstream comprises a flexible-walled container having a discharge head with a swirl chamber and a dip tube depending therefrom into the container. In use, the container is squeezed to drive liquid up the dip tube and into the swirl chamber to be discharged upwardly into the nasal cavity in the form of a fountain of relatively large droplets. The swirl chamber operates in the absence of air.

Appl. No.:

6/394517

Inventors:

Walter C. Beard - Middlebury CT

International Classification:

B65D 8314

US Classification:

22240223

Abstract:

An aerosol valve for pressurized containers having a tip seal to seal the dispensing nozzle at its extreme outer end portion and having a base seal in which each seal is operated simultaneously by tiltable deflection of the nozzle to dispense the contents of the aerosol container. Another embodiment of the invention sequentially opens the tip seal followed by opening of the base seal.

Appl. No.:

5/753992

Inventors:

Walter C. Beard - Middlebury CT

International Classification:

B65D 8300

US Classification:

222321

Abstract:

A trigger-like actuating element for association with a pump having a depressible piston or plunger for dispensing small metered quantities of a liquid from a container such as a jar, bottle or can, the trigger-like element being designed to be manually operated for substantially horizontal movement to thereby depress vertically the pump piston or plunger in order to deliver a quantity of liquid, usually as a spray, in a horizontal direction.

Appl. No.:

6/405696

Inventors:

Walter C. Beard - Middlebury CT

International Classification:

B65D 8314

US Classification:

22240222

Abstract:

A stem tiltable valve structure for aerosol containers and the like wherein a moveable cup member is provided which is actuated by stem tilting and which when so actuated undergoes reciprocal sliding movements in the valve structure. In the closed position, a positive sealing action is achieved between the moveable cup member and a gasket. The valve structure is well adapted for the dispensing of a highly viscous liquid.
