  • Patent number: 9315315
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a remainder reducing member with which a space with a circumference closed by a pressurized fluid is prevented from being generated and a final remaining amount of a discharged content is reduced. The remainder reducing member of the present invention has a simple structure, is manufactured with ease, easily installed at an inner side of an inner bag, and capable of discharging the content smoothly. The remainder reducing member, which is attached to the interior of the flexible inner bag disposed in aerosol container to reduce the final remaining amount of the discharged content, is constituted by a solid rod-shaped body and comprises an attachment portion attached to an inflow port of the inner bag such that said content can flow therein and a guiding portion provided with a plurality of guiding grooves formed in a lengthwise direction of an outer periphery thereof.

  • Patent number: 8863786
    Abstract: A propellant filling device that reliably fills a prescribed amount of propellant into an aerosol container without variations in amount while also preventing backflow to a supply unit side even when the pressure in the aerosol container is higher than a supply unit side pressure. The propellant filling device includes a valve opening member that continuously presses a valve to open a valve system. On the upper end side of the valve opening member, a flow conduit is provided. A valve member in the flow conduit allows a flow channel of the flow conduit to be closed. The valve system is kept in an open state. When the pressure in the aerosol container is higher than the supply unit side pressure, the propellant flows into the aerosol container with backflow of aerosol content being prevented.
