  • Patent number: 4969577
    Abstract: A flexible bag (4) that is filled with a product (5) is accommodated in a rigid container (1). The bag is welded to a valve unit A, which provides an absolute seal for the container (1) by means an annular membrane (17) that is pressed into the neck of the container (19) and a double annular rib (19) that is pressed into an annular groove (20) as well as by the welding (23) of a closing sleeve (22) to the container (1). The product (5) is forced into the bag (4) and compressed air is forced through a drilled hole (11) of a valve plate (7) into the container (1) by downward pressure on a valve plunger (8). The valve unit (A) closes the bag (4) a sealing washer (12), working as a non-return valve, seals the container (1) and avoids any loss of pressure, whereafter, when the valve unit is open, the container pressure compresses the bag ( 4) so that the product is dispensed through a spray head (14).

  • Patent number: 4650094
    Abstract: A regulator having turbulence generating device for controlling thrust. A differential piston (2) is biased by a spring (3) located in a discharge channel (8a) of a medium under pressure. The spring (3) is weighted in such a way that it is compressed at a given pressure within the container so that the differential piston (2) takes a first end position and decreases the opening of the discharge channel (8a) to a minimum. The spring (3) expands proportionally to the pressure drop due to the discharge of the medium (18) from the container and shifts the piston (2) so that the opening of the discharge channel (8a) increases gradually until the piston (2) has reached a second end position as soon as a given minimum pressure has been reached in the container.

  • Patent number: 4487334
    Abstract: By the displacement, depending on the pressure change in the container (22), of a piston (8) in order to open or obturate a bore (9) in the product conduit (7), the amount of product flowing per unit of time through the opened valve (1) is maintained constant even when the pressure in the container (22) diminishes. The piston (8) is so displaced by the pressure prevailing in the container (22) via a diaphragm (12) against a restoring force (21) that the bore (9) defines, at the time of the highest pressure prevailing in the container (22), a smallest predetermined opening for the product flow. By an adequate choice of the shape of the bore (9), the thrust of the product flowing through the opened valve (1) can thereby be maintained constant, which leads to a constant quality of atomization of the product (23) through a spray nozzle.

  • Patent number: 4458830
    Abstract: A container of rigid material comprises an appliance which employs the contractional force of an expanded rubber hose and expanded product container for the discharge of a medium stored therein. A hollow body of elastic material located in the axis of the product container is provided with a valve at one end through which it is inflated. The shape of the inner walls of the rigid container limits a radial, diagonal-radial and axial expansion of the appliance in a predetermined ratio, whereby the medium acts upon the inflated hollow body in such a way that the volume of the latter decreases, whereby its inner pressure increases and gives it a tendency to expand. If the squeezing pressure exerted by the rubber hose and the product container upon the medium decreases, the hollow body can expand accordingly and thus compensate the loss of contraction pressure.

  • Patent number: 4251032
    Abstract: An appliance for discharging gaseous, liquid or pasty product is described which comprises an inner pouch of deformable non-extensible material for holding the product, an outer enveloping element of caoutchouc-type macromolecular material about the inner pouch, a product outlet associated with the pouch, a valve device for controlling the discharge of product from the pouch through the outlet and being located intermediate the latter and the pouch, and a rigid core associated with the pouch; the cross-sectional area of said core is at least 40% larger than the cross-sectional area, taken in the same plane, of the interior of the outer enveloping element in unexpanded condition, and the maximum fillable volume available in the pouch when the latter is completely unfolded without expansion of its walls constitutes the maximum limit of expansion of the outer enveloping element, the said maximum limit being within the range of linear stretching of the caoutchouc-type macromolecular material.
