Abstract: In the formation of a valve mounting assembly for aerosol containers and the like, an aerosol valve mounting cup including a projecting central cylindrical body with an outwardly directed annular channel about the end thereof, an annular planar gasket deformably receivable within the channel, and apparatus for positioning the gasket in the channel. The inner periphery of the gasket defines a diameter substantially less than that of the cylindrical body whereby forceable engagement of the gasket about the body and into the channel outwardly deforms the inner peripheral portion of the gaskt into a sleeve-like configuration intimately engaged with the cylindrical body thereabout, the remainder of the gasket seating within and conforming to the annular channel. Engagement of the gasket into the channel utilizes a gasket receiving bushing with a longitudinally moveable inserter therein which forces the gasket into the channel as the apparatus moves over a mounting clip.
