Abstract
A device for preparing and dispensing a product consisting of two components which may be mixed only when the product is being dispensed, one of the components being fluid and said components being packaged in a pressurized container for dispensing in the form of foam through the outlet valve of the pressurized container, while the other component is solid and is placed outside said pressurized container, wherein the valve is controlled by the user by means of an operating device which comprises an ejection duct, and wherein a chamber whose outlet is closed by a grid is arranged onto that end of the ejection duct which is remote from the valve, said chamber enclosing the solid component in particulate form.
Claims14
A device for preparing and dispensing a product consisting of first and second components which may be mixed only when the product is being dispensed, said first component being fluid and able to constitute a foam, and said second component being solid, comprising:
- (a) a pressurized container containing said first component in the form of a liquid;
- (b) an outlet valve of said pressurized container through which the first component is to be dispensed;
- (c) an operating device for said outlet valve;
- (d) means defining an ejection duct from said outlet valve;
- said ejection duct having a first end nearer said outlet valve and a second end remote from said outlet valve, the second end of said ejection duct delivering the first component in the form of foam;
- (e) a chamber having an inlet connected to said second end of said ejection duct and an outlet, said chamber enclosing said second component in particulate form and maintaining it outside the said pressurized container;
- and
- (f) said device consisting of a single grid closing said outlet of said chamber;
- said device including a retaining plug separating said second, solid component from said grid.
