Patent number: 6296410Abstract: A device for administering a quantity of liquid cooling agent, contained in an aerosol container provided with a normally closed valve has an operating device for temporarily opening the valve. The positioning device positions at least a part of an administering element so that the cooling agent leaving the valve can reach the administering element. The cooling agent leaving the valve reaches that part of the administering element which comes into contact with a wart to be frozen, so that it is used effectively. According to a first preferred embodiment the positioning device has a chamber which is connects to the valve and into which the cooling agent is carried when the valve is operated. The chamber is adapted to receive of at least a part of the administering element.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2000Date of Patent: October 2, 2001Assignee: Wartner B.V.Inventor: Johanna C.

Publication number: 20010023877Abstract: An inverted aerosol dispensing device is disclosed comprising an aerosol container extending between a top portion and a bottom portion for containing an aerosol product and an aerosol propellant therein. An aerosol valve is located at the bottom portion of the aerosol container. The aerosol valve has a valve stem for displacing the aerosol valve from a biased closed position to an open position to discharge the aerosol product from the valve stem. An undercap is secured to the bottom portion of the aerosol container for supporting the aerosol container on a supporting surface. An actuator is movably mounted relative to the undercap for moving the valve stem upon displacement of the actuator for discharging the aerosol product from the valve stem in a generally downwardly direction through the undercap. The invention is particularly useful in the dispensing of viscous aerosol products.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2001Publication date: September 27, 2001Inventor: Peter J. Walters

Patent number: 6283338Abstract: A valve (14) is connected to a fluid filled and pressurized container for discharging the fluid (15). A valve body (16) is fixed within a container lid (13). An ascending pipe (21) projects into the container and is connected to a discharge tube (18) which projects into the container lid. An atomizer cap (23) is engaged by a catch mechanism to the circumferential edge (28) of the container lid (13). The cap includes an atomizer nozzle (22) coupled to the discharge tube (18) and oriented approximately perpendicular to the long axis of the container. At the circumferential edge (28) of the container lid (13) there is formed at least one projection (32), which cooperates with a complementary recess on the inner circumferential surface of the atomizer cap (23) in order to achieve a rotationally stable fixation of the latter to the container lid (13), with the nozzle 22 located in accordance with the location of the end of pipe (21) within the container.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1999Date of Patent: September 4, 2001Assignee: Coster Tecnologie Speciali S.p.A.Inventor: Adalberto Geier
