Abstract
An aerosol container (1), comprising:—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 12 projections (12), wherein the foodproduct 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.

An aerosol container, comprising:
- a reservoir containing a propellant and a foodproduct;
- operable discharge means to discharge the foodproduct;
- a dispensing head defining a foodproduct receiving space to receive the foodproduct from the discharge means, a distal part of the head having foodproduct shaping projections,
- characterised in that the foodproduct receiving space comprises an upstream foodproduct receiving space that widens, viewed in a foodproduct discharge direction, wherein a maximum diameter of the foodproduct receiving space of the dispensing head is larger than about 2 cm.
An aerosol container comprising:
- a reservoir containing a propellant and a foodproduct;
- operable discharge means to discharge the foodproduct;
- a dispensing head defining a foodproduct receiving space to receive the foodproduct from the discharge means, a distal part of the head having foodproduct shaping projections,
- characterised in that the foodproduct receiving space comprises an upstream foodproduct receiving space that widens, viewed in a foodproduct discharge direction, wherein the inner surface of the distal part of the dispensing head substantially extends along a virtual third conical surface, an apex angle of the third conical surface being in the range of about 60 degrees to about 100 degrees.
An aerosol container comprising:
- a reservoir containing a propellant and a foodproduct;
- operable discharge means to discharge the foodproduct;
- a dispensing head 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),
- characterised in that the foodproduct receiving space (11) comprises an upstream foodproduct receiving space (11A, 11B) that widens, viewed in a foodproduct discharge direction, wherein the ratio between a length (L1) of the foodproduct receiving space (11) and a maximum diameter (D1) of that space (L1:D1) is in the range of about 1:2 to about 2:1.
An aerosol container comprising:
- 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),
- characterised in that the foodproduct receiving space (11) comprises an upstream foodproduct receiving space (11A, 11B) that widens, viewed in a foodproduct discharge direction, wherein, when viewed in a longitudinal cross-section, inner surfaces of the foodproduct shaping portions and the inner surface of an upstream foodproduct receiving part of the dispensing head include angles in the range of about 60 degrees to about 120 degrees degrees.
A method to manufacture an aerosol container, wherein the method comprises:
- providing a cap comprising a dispensing head, the cap covering the head;
- providing an aerosol container comprising operable discharge means, the container containing a propellant and a foodproduct;
- and
- joining the cap together with the head with the aerosol container, such that the head can cooperate with the discharge means of the container.
