Abstract: An actuator has a slidable body that is slidable between a first position in which the actuation of a valve is blocked by the slidable body and a second position in which the valve can be actuated. The actuator, together with the slidable body, is formed as one piece. In an initial state, the actuator and the slidable body are connected by gates that are frangible. A tether can connect the actuator to the slidable body so that after the gates are fractured, the actuator, together with the slidable body, is still one piece.

Abstract: The present device dispenses product from a pressurized container. The device has a metered valve that dispenses a predetermined fixed quantity of product upon actuation. The metered valve can be configured by the customer with a spacer to affect the amount of product continually metered.

Abstract: An aerosol valve with a refill prevention mechanism is provided. The valve has a valve stem disposed in a valve housing that defines an inner chamber. The valve stem has upper passage in an upper portion of the valve stem that is provided with a flexible resilient member. The flexible resilient member is compressed on an orifice or aperture communicating with the housing to create a seal and prevent filling in an open position when pressure in the upper passage is greater than a pressure in the inner chamber. The flexible resilient member is deflected away from the orifice or the aperture when pressure in the upper passage is less than a pressure in the inner chamber to allow dispensing of a product.
