Abstract
The invention relates to a pressurized fluid-dispensing apparatus which can be re-charged with a fluid to be dispensed and pressurized by a compressed gas and can find application as a replacement for the well-known aerosol spray cannister. In a specific embodiment the apparatus includes a container having an aperture for charging the container with a liquid to be dispensed, first a valve resiliently biased towards a closed position and operable, in use, to dispense the liquid under pressure and second a valve for connecting the container temporarily to a compressor for pressurizing the contents of the container and in which the first and second valves are removable from the container to expose the aperture for charging the container with a liquid.
Claims4
A portable liquid-dispensing apparatus for dispensing a liquid in the form of a jet, spray or aerosol, the apparatus comprising a container, a valve body having an annular top removably secured to the container whereby it can be removed to expose an aperture for charging the container with a liquid to be dispensed, first valve means mounted by a cup on said annular top of said valve body and resiliently biased towards a closed position, tube means for establishing fluid communication from near the bottom of the container to the first valve means, a manually operable push button on said valve body, a dispensing nozzle in a side wall of said push button communicating with said tube means wherein, in use, depression of said push button is arranged to open said first valve means to dispense the fluid under pressure, second valve means mounted on said valve body for connecting the container temporarily to an air compressor for pressurising the contents of the container, a third pressure relief valve means mounted on said valve body and arranged to open when the pressure in the container is greater than a predetermined valve.
