Patent number: 11186423Abstract: A spray system for dispensing a homogenous mixture of a liquid formulation and propellant as an atomized aerosol where a fill cup containing a liquid base is connected to a charge can to pressurize the inside of the fill cup and to act as a propellant. The charge can is attached to the fill cup through a fitting in fluid communication with the interior of the fill cup, where the fitting may be configured to allow the pressurized charge can to be detached after adding a propellant compatible with the liquid base to the fill cup. Preferably the liquid formulation is a paint base that can be tinted at the point of sale before charging with the charge can.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2021Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: SEYMOUR OF SYCAMORE INC.Inventor: Christopher Heatley
