Abstract
An aerosol container (1) is disclosed herein that can include a reservoir (2) containing a propellant and a foodproduct, operable discharge means (3) to discharge the foodproduct, a dispensing head (10) defining a foodproduct receiving space (11) to receive the foodproduct from the discharge means (3), a distal part (15) of the head (10) having foodproduct shaping projections (12), wherein the food product receiving space comprises an upstream foodproduct receiving space (11A, 11B) that widens, viewed in a foodproduct discharge direction, wherein a maximum diameter (D1) of the foodproduct receiving space of the dispensing head is larger than about 2 cm.
Claims15
An aerosol container, comprising:
- (A) a reservoir configured to contain a propellant and a foodproduct;
- (B) an operable discharge member configured to discharge the foodproduct;
- (C) a dispensing head defining a foodproduct receiving space configured to receive the foodproduct from the discharge member, a distal part of the dispensing head having foodproduct shaping projections,
- (D) wherein the foodproduct receiving space has a length between 2-3 cm, wherein a ratio between the length of the foodproduct receiving space and a maximum diameter of the foodproduct receiving space is between 1:2-2:1, wherein the foodproduct receiving space comprises:
- (i) a first part that widens in a foodproduct discharge direction, and
- (ii) a widening second part that extends upstream of the first part and has a portion differing in width from the first part, and
- wherein an angle β, as viewed in a longitudinal cross-section of the dispensing head, between (i) an inner surface of the distal part of the dispensing head having the foodproduct shaping projections and (ii) an inner surface of the first part of the foodproduct receiving space of the dispensing head, ranges from about 60 degrees to about 120 degrees.
A dispensing head comprising:
- a foodproduct receiving space;
- and
- a plurality of foodproduct shaping projections,
- wherein the foodproduct receiving space has a length between 2-3 cm, wherein a ratio between the length of the foodproduct receiving space and a maximum diameter of the foodproduct receiving space is between 1:2-2:1, wherein the foodproduct receiving space comprises:
- (i) a first part that widens in a foodproduct discharge direction, and
- (ii) a widening second part that extends upstream of the first part and has a portion differing in width from the first part, and
- wherein an angle β, as viewed in a longitudinal cross-section of the dispensing head, between (i) an inner surface of a distal part of the dispensing head, the distal part having the foodproduct shaping projections, and (ii) an inner surface of the first part of the foodproduct receiving space of the dispensing head, ranges from about 60 degrees to about 120 degrees.
