Patent number: 10435227Abstract: A trigger operated aerosol dispenser is disclosed for dispensing an aerosol product from an aerosol container through an aerosol valve. The trigger operated aerosol dispenser comprises a base secured to the aerosol container with a dispensing head mounted to the base. A nozzle extends through the dispensing head for communicating the aerosol valve with a terminal orifice. A trigger actuator extends from the dispensing head for actuating the aerosol valve upon depression of the trigger actuator to dispense the aerosol product from the terminal orifice. The trigger operated aerosol dispenser may incorporate a lock for inhibiting the trigger from actuating the aerosol valve. In one example, the trigger operated aerosol dispenser may be actuated in an alternate manner upon a depression of the dispensing head. Preferably, the trigger operated aerosol dispenser is formed from a two piece unit.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2013Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: AptarGroup, IncInventors: Gregory A. Erickson, Geraid J. Marquardt, Sean Cho, Bernd Blumenstein, Bernhard Jasper, Paul Hallman

Patent number: 9205437Abstract: A dispensing device for a preferably cosmetic liquid as well as a method for the manufacture thereof are proposed. A lasting and tight joining of two materials is achieved while allowing for simple manufacture by pretreating the surface of the first material by means of plasma treatment or irradiation in a desired joining area in order to form radicals there or to break up the polymer chains of the first material, and by then injecting the second material directly against the first material. Another aspect consists in covering the first material with a second material for joining with another material or component.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2013Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: APTAR DORTMUND GMBHInventors: Reiker Canfield, Bernd Blumenstein, Ralf Jordan, Reinhard Neuhaus

Patent number: 8863994Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing device, particularly a dispensing head proposed for preferably cosmetic liquid. A simple, tightly closing structure of an outlet valve is achieved in that a valve element is injected onto a wall and/or lies thereon with its entire surface or flat surface when the valve is closed and/or the valve element covers an outlet opening on the flat side. Alternatively or in addition, the valve element is pretensioned into a closed position when the valve is closed.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2008Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Aptar Dortmund GmbHInventors: Reinhard Neuhaus, Reiker Canfield, Bernd Blumenstein
