  • Patent number: 10343801
    Abstract: A method of sealing a peelable lid (2) to a flange (4) provided within a metal can body (1) which involves inserting an induction coil (6) into the can body to primarily heat the sealing surface (5) of the flange, while keeping the exterior wall of the can relatively cool to avoid tin reflow and decoration degradation of the exterior wall. The induction coil is subsequently removed from the can body and a peelable lid applied to the flange, whereby residual heat in the flange aids the sealing of the lid to the flange, e.g. by allowing activation of a bonding material.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9902552
    Abstract: The invention provides an aerosol container having an outer container body (10) with a plastic liner or bag (40) arranged therein, into which both product and propellant are filled, characterized in that the plastic liner or bag (40) has a multi-layer construction. The liner or bag (40) comprises a layer that is resistant to the product and a layer that prevents diffusion of the propellant out of the liner or bag (40). Further layers may also be incorporated to provide additional properties as required, for example an oxygen barrier, scavenging etc. Furthermore, one or more tie-layers, such as adhesive for example, may be provided to hold the separate layers together.

  • Publication number: 20100108716
    Abstract: An aerosol dispensing container 1 comprising a container body 20, 30, 40 and a collapsible bag 50 therein. The bag 50 separates a pressurised chamber defined between the container body 20, 30, 40 and the bag 50 from a product chamber defined inside the bag 50. A valve 5 is mounted in a valve cup 70 supported by the body 20, 30, 40 and the valve arrangement allows fluid communication between the valve 5 and the product chamber inside the bag 50. An extrinsic support means 54, 55 is carried by the bag 50 and is adapted to ensure flow of product to the valve 5 by preventing radial collapse of the bag 50, whilst allowing axial collapse of the bag 50 as the product is dispensed.
