Abstract: A kit includes a refillable dispenser that is propellant-free and a filling device that is pressurized and propellant-free. An outlet of the filling device is configured to disengageably connect to an inlet of the refillable dispenser, and wherein connection between the inlet and the outlet establishes fluid communication between the filling device and the refillable dispenser and generates a unidirectional flow of material from the filling device to the refillable dispenser.

Abstract: A Propellant-Free continuous dispenser for dispensing liquid or viscous materials under pressure. The container comprises a tension surface, and a bag containing the liquid to be dispensed, which is in contact with the tension surface. An actuatable valve to which the bag is open serves to controllably release the liquid from the bag, and a diaphragm forms a floor to the tension surface underneath the bag. The diaphragm is elasticated and presses the bag against the tension surface to flatten the bag, thus to expel the contents under pressure.

Abstract: A fluid dispensing mechanism for a fluid dispensing device, comprising an elastic sleeve surrounding a bag for filling with fluid for dispensing, the bag having a circumference and being folded at a plurality of folding locations around said circumference, thereby to unfold evenly under said sleeve during a filling process of pressurized filling of said bag with fluid, the mechanism further comprising an anchoring column. The bag is folded around the anchoring column.

Abstract: A device for dispensing a material under pressure comprises one or more elastic portions defining a chamber within which the material is to be contained, and one or more non-elastic portions that are coupled to the elastic portion(s). The device optionally and preferably also includes an outlet for dispensing the material out of the chamber. When the material is contained within the chamber, the elastic portion(s) is stretched to apply inwardly directed compressive forces and urge a reduction in a volume of the chamber.

Abstract: A propellant free continuous dispensing device comprises an inner bag surrounded by an elastic sleeve containing fluid under pressure, a valve attached to the inner bag to controllably release fluid, the valve mounted in a mounting cup, a package enclosing the inner bag and elastic sleeve which may be of non-metallic material, a flange closing the package at one end, the flange being sized for the mounting cup to fit within the flange, and wherein the flange and the mounting cup are provided with complementary shapes to allow for location of the mounting cap into the flange.

Abstract: Elastomeric composites comprising natural rubber, a filler and nanofiller, which exhibit improved performance are disclosed. The elastomeric composite comprise a filler in an amount of less than 50 parts, yet exhibit high elastic modulus, high elasticity and reduced relaxation and/or creep. Articles and devices for dispensing fluid materials and comprising elastomeric composites are also disclosed.

Abstract: Devices and methods for dispensing a fluidly dispensable material under pressure but without using a gas propellant are presented. In some embodiments an elastic sleeve is utilized to impart pressure to a bag of dispensable material positioned within the sleeve. Pressure so created pressurizes contents of the bag, which can then be dispensed through a valve. Methods for manufacturing various embodiments are presented.

Abstract: A device for dispensing a material under pressure, including at least one elastic portion defining at least one wall of a chamber defining a volume within which the material is to be contained; and at least one non-elastic portion coupled to the at least one elastic portion and affecting a geometry of one or both of the elastic portion and of the chamber; wherein, at least when the material is contained within the chamber, the at least one elastic portion is stretched so as to urge a reduction in volume of the chamber by at least 70%. The non-elastic portion is optionally rigid.
