Multi-function aerosol valve assembly

An aerosol valve assembly for a body of an aerosol container, comprising:

• a content-filling mechanism, a gas-discharging mechanism, a rupturing mechanism, and, optionally, a content-dispensing mechanism;
• wherein, upon activation of the aerosol valve assembly, the content-filling mechanism enables formation of a content-filling passage to allow external content to be added into the body of the aerosol container;
• wherein the gas-discharging mechanism enables formation of a gas-discharging passage to allow unwanted or excess gas to be released out of the body of the aerosol container when the external content is added into the body;
• wherein the rupturing mechanism enables rupturing of a divider to allow coalescing of content within the body of the aerosol container to form a coalesced content;
• and
• wherein the content-dispensing mechanism enables formation of a content-dispensing passage to dispense the content out of the body of the aerosol container;
• a mounting cup mounted to the opening of the inner chamber and having an aperture;
• a valve housing positioned within the inner chamber and adjacent to the aperture of the mounting cup;
• a valve core accommodated within the valve housing, having a cap portion, a valve shaft, and an inlet formed between the cap portion and the valve shaft where the valve shaft is movable within the valve core to expose or close the inlet;
• at least one detachable component inserted into the aperture of the mounting cup, being either:
• a content-filling device having a content-filling stem;
• a gas-discharging device having a discharge activation stem;
• a content-filling and gas-discharging device having a content-filling and a discharge activation stem;
• a rupturing device having a rupture activation stem;
• and
• optionally, a content-dispensing device having a content-dispensing activation stem;
• wherein the content-filling mechanism and gas-discharging mechanism are configured to operate simultaneously upon activation of the aerosol valve assembly by the content-filling and discharge activation stem which allows the external content to be supplied from the discharge activation stem through the cap portion while moving the valve shaft to expose the inlet of the valve core for directing the external content into the valve core, and moving the valve core away from the aperture of the mounting cup to create a gap therebetween to allow exit of the unwanted or excess gas from the aerosol container through the content-filling and gas-discharging device.

An aerosol container, comprising:

• a body including an outer chamber and an inner chamber positioned within the outer chamber, the inner chamber having a divider that separates it from the outer chamber, and the inner chamber further formed with an opening;
• a puncture member for rupturing the divider;
• and
• an aerosol valve assembly enclosing the opening of the inner chamber at least having both a content-filling mechanism and a gas-discharging mechanism, and, optionally, any one of, or a combination of, a rupturing mechanism and a content-dispensing mechanism;
• wherein, upon activation of the aerosol valve assembly, the content-filling mechanism enables formation of a content-filling passage to allow external content to be added into the body;
• wherein the gas-discharging mechanism enables formation of a gas-discharging passage to allow unwanted or excess gas to be released out of the body when the external content is added into the body;
• wherein the rupturing mechanism acts on the puncture member to rupture the divider so as to allow coalescing of content within the inner chamber and the outer chamber to form a coalesced content;
• and
• wherein the content-dispensing mechanism enables formation of a content-dispensing passage to dispense the content out of the body;
• a mounting cup mounted to the opening of the inner chamber and having an aperture;
• a valve housing positioned within the inner chamber and adjacent to the aperture of the mounting cup;
• a valve core accommodated within the valve housing, having a cap portion, a valve shaft, and an inlet formed between the cap portion and the valve shaft where the valve shaft is movable within the valve core to expose or close the inlet;
• at least one detachable component inserted into the aperture of the mounting cup, being either:
• a content-filling device having a content-filling stem;
• a gas-discharging device having a discharge activation stem;
• a content-filling and gas-discharging device having a content-filling and a discharge activation stem;
• a rupturing device having a rupture activation stem;
• and
• optionally, a content-dispensing device having a content-dispensing activation stem;
• wherein the content-dispensing mechanism includes the valve housing, and the valve core with the cap portion being configured to receive the content-dispensing activation stem that displaces the valve core away from the aperture of the mounting cup, leaving a gap therebetween to allow content to be dispensed out of the aerosol container through the content-dispensing device.
