Abstract: A metering device for aerosol containers which is attached to an aerosol container and which controls the amount of aerosol material which is dispensed by the aerosol container. Aerosol material is received into a reservoir which is remotely located from the aerosol container. A metered actuator dispenses a predetermined amount or dose of aerosol material.

Abstract: An aerosol actuator, with applicator, which inhibits the actuator from being separated by the aerosol container when a force is applied to the actuator by the applicator. An actuator button is mounted within an actuator body by a straw which connects the actuator body and applicator to the actuator button, and which acts as a hinge for the actuator button. The actuator body is designed to remain intact on the aerosol body when a force is applied to the end of the applicator by various support rings.

Abstract: A method and composition for treating pests and insects by combining an anesthetic and an insecticide into a mixture, and applying the mixture to the dwelling place of the insect or pest.

Abstract: A dishwashing apparatus is disclosed comprising an air pressure system maintaining constant pressure on liquid treating agents in a plurality of storage tanks, a dishwashing compartment and an electrically operated system to control the flow of the liquid treating agents into the dishwashing compartment.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for treating fireants is disclosed which combines an insecticide with a refrigerant into a mixture and injects the mixture into the fireant hills.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dispersing a fluid in an area is disclosed in which the dispersion of the fluid is proportionate to the wind velocity of the area, the fluid is placed in a plurality of aerosol containers, and the fluid is dispersed through a plurality of nozzles of a plurality of pre-determined sizes.

Abstract: An insecticide spray system including a main conduit and one or more branch conduits communicating therewith each of the branch conduits having at least one normally closed nozzle, with a solenoid actuated valve, the solenoids being connected by means of a circuit through a timer to an associated source of electrical power together an aerosol container containing an insecticide-gaseous propellant mixture connected to the main conduit so that the conduits are filled with the mixture under equilibrium conditions with the container contents whereby periodic actuation of the solenoids is obtained simultaneously through the timer for opening all of the nozzles simultaneously to spray areas adjacent the nozzles with a specific dosage of insecticide.

Abstract: A fluid distribution system including a main conduit and one or more branch conduits communicating therewith, each of the branch conduits having at least one normally closed nozzle with a solenoid actuated valve, the solenoids being connected by means of a circuit through condition responsive means such as a timer to an associated source of electrical power together with an aerosol container containing a first pressurized fluid and connected to the main conduit so that the conduits are filled with the first pressurized fluid under equilibrium conditions with the container contents whereby periodic actuation of the solenoids is obtained through the timer for opening all of the nozzles simultaneously to spray areas adjacent the nozzles with a quantity of the first pressurized fluid and a supplementary source of a second pressurized fluid being provided connected by conduit means to the aerosol container which is introduced into the aerosol container to compensate for pressure loss in the first pressurized fluid
