  • Publication number: 20240067111
    Abstract: A panel configured to convert from a flat configuration to a folded configuration includes a central section, a first intermediate section, a second intermediate section, a first outer section, and a second outer section. The first intermediate section and the second intermediate section are formed on opposite sides of the central section and are foldable relative to the central section. The first outer section is formed on a side of the first intermediate section opposite the central section and is foldable relative to the first intermediate section. The second outer section is formed on a side of the second intermediate section opposite the central section and is foldable relative to the second intermediate section. The panel can be folded along a plurality of intended bend lines to be converted to the folded configuration and includes a slot or a perforation line defined therein along one or more of the intended bend lines.

  • Publication number: 20240001747
    Abstract: A vehicle cover includes a top structure, one or more sidewalls, and a valve. The top structure is configured to be positioned above a top of a vehicle. Each of the one or more sidewalls is configured to be positioned adjacent to a side of the vehicle and is configured to hold the top structure above the top of the vehicle. The valve is positioned adjacent to the top structure or one of the one or more sidewalls. The top structure and the one or more sidewalls define an interior space that is sized to receive the vehicle. The top structure and the one or more sidewalls are each formed from a plurality of inflatable tubes, where each of the inflatable tubes is fluidly coupled to the valve.

  • Patent number: 8127968
    Abstract: An actuator is disclosed for actuating an aerosol valve for dispensing an aerosol product from an aerosol container. The actuator comprises an actuator button being rotatable relative to a base for movement between a locked rotational position and an unlocked rotational position. The actuator button is tiltable relative to the base for actuating the aerosol valve to dispense the aerosol product when the actuator button is rotated into the unlocked rotational position. The actuator button is inhibited from tilting relative to the base when the actuator button is moved into the locked rotational position.

  • Patent number: 8100298
    Abstract: An improved actuator is disclosed for actuating an aerosol valve for dispensing an aerosol product from an aerosol container. The improved actuator comprises a base for mounting to the aerosol container. A unitary actuator button supports a nozzle extending between the aerosol valve and a terminal orifice. The actuator button is rotatable about the base between a locked rotational position and an unlocked rotational position. The unitary actuator button is movable for pivoting the nozzle button to actuate the aerosol valve for dispensing aerosol product from the terminal orifice when the actuator button is in the unlocked rotational position. The unitary actuator button is inhibited from pivoting the nozzle button when the actuator button is rotated into the locked rotational position.

  • Patent number: 7882990
    Abstract: An inverted aerosol dispensing device is disclosed having an undercap rotatably secured to the aerosol container with a bottom portion of the undercap supporting the aerosol container on a supporting surface to store the aerosol dispensing device in an inverted position. The undercap is rotatable into a first rotational position for enabling an actuator to discharge an aerosol product in a generally downwardly direction. The undercap is rotatable into a second rotational position for inhibiting the actuator from moving the valve stem.

  • Patent number: 7487891
    Abstract: An actuator is disclosed for actuating an aerosol valve for dispensing an aerosol product from an aerosol container. The actuator comprises an actuator button being rotatable relative to a base for movement between a locked rotational position and an unlocked rotational position. The actuator button has a rigid sidewall supporting a rigid top actuating surface with an actuator button orifice defined in the sidewall of the actuator button. The actuator button is movable relative to the base for actuating the aerosol valve to dispense the aerosol product when the actuator button is rotated into the unlocked rotational position. The actuator button is inhibited from actuating the aerosol valve when the actuator button is moved into the locked rotational position.

  • Patent number: 7357158
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for filling an improved aerosol dispenser with a first and a second fluid product and an aerosol propellant. The process comprises the steps of filling a first and a second inner container located within an aerosol container with the first and the second fluid products. The aerosol container is filled with the aerosol propellant. The improved aerosol dispenser separately stores the first and second fluid prior to use. The improved aerosol dispenser mixes and dispenses the first and second fluids for discharge from a terminal orifice.

  • Patent number: 7267248
    Abstract: An improved aerosol dispenser is disclosed for mixing and dispensing a first and second fluid. The improved aerosol dispenser comprises a valve body sealably mounted to the aerosol container. A first and a second channel is defined in the valve body for providing fluid communication with a valve body cavity of the valve body. A first and a second inner container are located within the aerosol container for communicating with the first and second channels, respectively. A valve assembly comprising a first and a second valve element enables the mixing and dispensing of the first and second fluids from a terminal orifice upon the simultaneous actuation of the first and second valve elements. The invention is also incorporated into the process of filling an improved aerosol dispenser with a first and a second fluid products and an aerosol propellant.
