AEROSOL SPRAYER WITH ANTI-DROL VALVE

摘要

An actuator with an anti-drool valve is provided for attaching to or mounting on an aerosol container. Aerosol actuators, and more recently trigger actuated aerosol actuators, may include a manifold which fits to or communicates with a valve on an aerosol container or can. Aerosol containers or cans typically contain a propellant such as a compressed gas or a volatile hydrocarbon. The contents of the container, along with the propellant, are held in the container by a container valve.

主权项

1. An actuator, comprising:
a manifold; a discharge valve positioned in the manifold and slidably movable between a first position and a second position; a seal positioned on the discharge valve, wherein the seal closes an outlet in the first position and opens the outlet in the second position; a first spring element to bias the discharge valve toward the first position; a trigger having an actuated and a non-actuated position; a trigger ramp movable between a first ramp position that permits the discharge valve to slide toward the first position and a second ramp position that permits the discharge valve to slide toward the second position; and wherein the trigger ramp moves to the second ramp position when the trigger is moved to the actuated position.
