  • Patent number: 7637399
    Abstract: A spray discharge cap for a sprayer having a valve, comprising: a spray release top attachment including a retainer ring and an actuation element which is hinged to said retainer ring, an outlet tube having an outlet opening and an inlet opening that is connected to said valve, a piston element movably disposed in said outlet tube which is in a position closing said outlet opening if said actuation element is not depressed, and which is movable inside said outlet tube via a dog mechanism, wherein said dog mechanism interacts with said actuation element in such a way that if said actuation element is depressed said piston element is in a position releasing said outlet opening.

  • Patent number: 7168684
    Abstract: A tiltable valve for discharging foam and other media from a pressurized vessel includes a valve disk for connection to the vessel, and a valve body having a holder opening that is placed in an opening in the valve disk and a sealing surface at a side facing away from the valve disk. The tiltable valve further includes a valve element disposed in the holder opening which has a tubular portion with a sealing flange at one end and at least one inlet opening in the wall, such that in a closed position of the valve, the sealing flange bears on the sealing surface and blocks an entry of the medium requiring discharge in the inlet opening and, in a tilted position of the valve element, the sealing flange and the sealing surface are spaced from each other while forming a gap and the medium requiring discharge is allowed to exit through the gap and the inlet opening.

  • Patent number: 7004359
    Abstract: A spraying cap for a spray container with a valve includes an attachment for the spray container with a connection piece that is connectable with the valve, which runs into a spray nozzle. The spraying cap further includes an actuator element, slewably mounted on the attachment, which in a locked position at least partly covers the spray nozzle and in an opened position sticks off from the spraying cap, and a pressure region in the attachment proximate to the connection piece. A force on the pressure region or on the actuator element in its opened position, wholly or partly pointing into the actuation direction of the valve, opens the valve.

  • Patent number: 6991138
    Abstract: Cap for a container with a valve, with a container attachment which comprises an actuation surface, an extension pipe for receiving the valve and a discharge channel connected to the extension pipe, a cover element which—pivotally mounted relative to the container attachment—in a first position at least partially covers the actuation surface and in a second position protrudes from the container attachment, and a channel element which has a substantially cylindrical form, is rotatably mounted in the container attachment about its longitudinal axis and comprises a passage channel for a medium to be dispensed, the channel element being coupled to the cover element in such a manner that in a first position of the cover element the passage channel is rotated into a position connected to the discharge channel and in the second position of the cover element is rotated into a position blocking the discharge channel.
