  • Patent number: 9617064
    Abstract: A spray head for an aerosol tank, and an aerosol tank having a spray head is provided, which includes a fluid exit valve for spraying a low-solvent fluid. The fluid exit valve of the aerosol tank defines an axial fluid exit direction. The spray head includes a capillary tube for routing the fluid and for nozzle-less spraying of the fluid. An entry end of the capillary tube is axially joined to the fluid exit valve when the spray head has been seated on the aerosol tank. An exit end of the capillary tube is open to the ambient atmosphere. In the spray head, the capillary tube runs from the entry end to the exit end in an arc of approximately 90°.

  • Patent number: 7967224
    Abstract: The invention relates to a spray head for atomising a medium using a pressurised propellant, with a spray head body (10) which comprises a fastening ring (6) and an actuating element (20) movably connected thereto, a holding element (12) which comprises an inlet port (24), an adjoining duct section (26) and a holding section (28), and a duct element (14) which has an outlet port (62) for the medium and which has in at least one section a diameter such that the medium to be discharged atomizes in the flow of propellant, the duct element (14) preferably being a capillary pipe or capillary tube and/or having a constant diameter over its entire length, the duct element (14) being arranged in the holding section (28) of the holding element (12) and, preferably, being bent through approximately 90° in the holding section (28) of the holding element (12) and the holding element (12) preferably being connected to the spray head body (10).

  • Patent number: 7686190
    Abstract: Dispensing head made of plastics for a pressurised container receiving a pressurised free-flowing medium, comprising a cap which may be positioned onto the pressurised container, which comprises an actuating portion which may be moved relative to the cap, for a dispensing valve which is attached to the pressurised container and which is connected to a channel in the dispensing head and an applicator on the dispensing head which may be connected to the outlet of the channel, via which the medium is discharged, characterised in that inside the cap a movable locking portion is provided which, in a locked position, blocks an actuation of the actuating portion and the applicator is movably mounted relative to the dispensing head such that, with a movement in the direction of the dispensing head, it moves the locking portion into a release position, in which an actuation of the actuating portion and thus an actuation of the dispensing valve is permitted.

  • Publication number: 20080221561
    Abstract: A spray device for dispensing a cooling fluid comprises a reservoir in which the cooling fluid is stored in liquid form at an overpressure, a fluid outlet valve, and a spray head (3b) which has a capillary tube (30b). The capillary tube (30b) is arranged in a valve tappet (31b) in such a way that the inlet end of the capillary tube (30b) is connected to the fluid outlet valve of the reservoir and causes the cooling fluid to pass into the capillary tube (30b) when the fluid outlet valve is actuated. In the reservoir, there is a further capillary tube whose inlet end extends into the cooling fluid stored in the reservoir, and whose outlet end is connected to the fluid outlet valve.
