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

Publication number: 20060273111Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for a safety enclosure for an aerosol device that includes an overlying cap coupled to a base cap. There is also a tab on the overlying cap that prevents rotation of the overlying cap with respect to the base cap and keeps the caps locked and the underlying aerosol spray device in an inoperative position. When use of the aerosol spray device is desired, the tab is ripped away. The two caps may be rotated to either align or mis-align the openings on the caps to permit or prevent user actuation of the spray device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2005Publication date: December 7, 2006Inventors: Nancy Heatley, Christopher Heatley, Jon Larson, Mike Jacobs
