System and method for a dispenser to generate different sprays

A method to release spray fluid from a container at different mass flow rates, the method comprising:

• pressing one of a first area and a second area of an actuator to compress a biased member and move a stem of a dispensing system, the dispensing system having the actuator the stem, the biased member, and a monolithic gasket,
• wherein the stem is connected to the actuator and has a channel surrounded by a wall of the stem, wherein the stem has a first orifice and a second orifice in communication with the channel through the wall, and wherein the wall of the stem has a groove that forms a neck around an exterior circumference of the stem,
• wherein the monolithic gasket is seated in the groove and over the first orifice and the second orifice to directly seal the first orifice and the second orifice in a non-actuated position, wherein the monolithic gasket held in place by the container,
• wherein the biased member biases the stem to the non-actuated position,
• wherein the stem moves a first distance relative to the gasket to directly uncover the second orifice while the first orifice is covered by the gasket to spray fluid with a first mass flow rate when the first area of the actuator is pressed, and
• wherein the stem moves a second distance relative to the gasket to directly uncover the first orifice and the second orifice to spray fluid with a second mass flow rate that is greater than the first mass flow rate when the second area of the actuator is pressed.

A system to release spray fluid in different mass flow rate from a container, the system comprising:

• an actuator having a first area and a second area;
• a stem being connected to the actuator, the stem having a channel along a vertical axis of the stem, the channel being surrounded by a wall of the stem, the stem having a first orifice and a second orifice, the first orifice and the second orifice each having a longitudinal axis disposed perpendicular to the vertical axis, and the first orifice and the second orifice being in communication with the channel through the wall, the wall of the stem having an exterior circumferential groove that forms a neck around an exterior circumference of the stem, the first orifice and the second orifice having openings that are located completely within the exterior circumferential groove of the stem;
• a monolithic gasket disposed over the first orifice and the second orifice to directly seal the first orifice and the second orifice in a non-actuated position, the monolithic gasket held in place by the container;
• and
• a biased member that biases the stem to the non-actuated position,
• wherein the stem is movable a first distance relative to the gasket to directly uncover the second orifice while the first orifice is directly covered by the gasket and the stem compresses the biased member to spray fluid with a first mass flow rate when the first area of the actuator is pressed down, and
• wherein the stem is movable a second distance relative to the gasket to directly uncover the first orifice and the second orifice and the stem compresses the biased member to spray fluid with a second mass flow rate that is greater than the first mass flow rate when the second area of the actuator is pressed down.
