Abstract
A dispenser (20) for attachment to a container (22) containing a fluid material, including an actuator (110) which keeps the container (22) in a substantially constantly open configuration so as to allow the fluid to pass into the dispenser (20), and a controllable outlet (36), through which a portion of the fluid is emitted from the dispenser (20), substantially independent of the fluid pressure in the container (22).
Claims68
A dispenser for attachment to a container containing a fluid material, comprising:
- an actuator which keeps the container in a substantially constantly open configuration so as to allow the fluid to pass into the dispenser;
- and
- a controllable outlet, through which a portion of the fluid is emitted from the dispenser, substantially independent of the fluid pressure in the container.
A dispenser as in any of the preceding claims, and comprising an electric motor which controls passage of the portion of the fluid through the outlet.
A dispenser for attachment to a container containing a fluid material, comprising:
- an actuator, which keeps the container substantially constantly in an open configuration so as to allow the fluid to pass into the dispenser;
- and
- an electric motor, which opens the dispenser so that fluid is emitted therefrom and closes the dispenser to prevent the fluid emission.
A dispensing container comprising:
- a can containing a fluid;
- a dispenser head which has an open state in which the fluid is emitted from the can and a closed state in which the fluid is not emitted;
- and
- a motor which changes the state of the dispenser head between the open and closed states.
A cooling device comprising:
- an insulating case;
- a pressurized gas container;
- and
- a dispenser, arranged to periodically emit the gas from the container into the case in order to cool the interior of the case.
A method for dispensing a material from a container having a valve, comprising:
- fixing a dispenser to the container, such that the dispenser holds the valve in a substantially constantly open position, so as to allow the material to pass into the dispenser;
- and
- emitting the material from the dispenser substantially independently of the pressure of the material in the container.
A method of maintaining a concentration level of a material within an area comprising:
- receiving a signal from a sensing device, in response to the level of the material in the area;
- and
- setting an automatic dispenser mounted on a container of the material to operate responsive to the sensor.
Apparatus for maintaining a concentration level of a material within an area, comprising:
- a container containing the material;
- a sensor which senses the concentration of the material within the area and generates signals responsive to the concentration;
- and
- an automatic dispenser mounted on the container which dispenses the material in response to the signals from the sensor,
- wherein the apparatus operates substantially independently of any wired or fluid communication with elements other than the sensor, container and dispenser.
A method of maintaining a low temperature in a volume, comprising controlling an automatic dispenser to automatically emit a gas from a pressurized gas container into the volume.
The method of claim.60, wherein directing the dispenser comprises directing the dispenser to emit the gas responsive to a temperature sensor.
A method of pest control comprising:
- mounting an automatic dispenser having a horn head on a pressurized gas container;
- and
- operating the dispenser automatically to periodically emit a portion of the gas in the container so as to operate the horn.
