  • Patent number: 11905104
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of making an aerosol container. A polymeric container may be provided. The container may have a closed end bottom and a neck longitudinally opposed to the closed end bottom. The container has an internal container volume. A valve and a bag may be provided and a portion of the valve and the bag may be disposed within the container. The bag has a first bag volume. A portion of the at least one of the neck and the bag may contact a portion of the valve to form a temporary seal. Propellant may be introduced into the container. The bag may be collapsed from the first bag volume to a second bag volume. The pressure of the propellant and the pressure within the bag equilibrate. The valve may be joined to the container and the propellant may be sealed within the container.

  • Publication number: 20210300669
    Abstract: A plural preform assembly including an outer preform and an inner preform. The outer preform includes an outer preform open end, an outer preform closed end longitudinally opposed thereto, and an outer preform sidewall joining the outer preform open end and the outer preform closed end. The inner preform may be disposed in the outer preform. The inner preform includes an inner preform open end, an inner preform closed end longitudinally opposed thereto, and an inner preform sidewall joining the inner preform open end and the inner preform closed end. The inner preform has an inner preform intrinsic viscosity and the outer preform has an outer preform intrinsic viscosity. The inner preform intrinsic viscosity and the outer preform intrinsic viscosity are different. The plural preform assembly may be blow molded into an article.

  • Patent number: 11000983
    Abstract: A plural preform assembly having nested preforms. The preforms are held together by an interference fit. The interference fit is provided by the friction between the preforms which occurs when the inner preform is inserted into the outer preform. At least one preform may have ribs extending radially towards the other preform. The ribs provided concentricity and interference to hold the preforms together during subsequent operations. The preforms may later be blow molded to provide a bag in bottle or similar container.

  • Patent number: 10661974
    Abstract: An aerosol dispenser having a valve cup. The valve cup has an internal interlock, for attachment of a valve assembly thereto. A seal is disposed below the interlock. This arrangement provides the benefit that components of the dispenser may be inserted past the interlock, and still seal product therein under pressure. The interlock may comprise threads or a bayonet fitting. The valve cup may be injection molded as a preform.
