Aerosol spray container with improved dispensing valve assembly

Apparatus for dispensing a liquid as an aerosol from a gas pressurized vessel comprising:

• (a) a compliant, compressible container for containing the liquid to be dispensed, the container having an open neck and an elongated, hollow, generally cylindrical body;
• (b) means for suspending said container by the open neck within the pressurized vessel;
• (c) a valve receiving socket formed in the means for suspending, the means for suspending having a passage formed therein for providing a first fluid path from an interior of the pressurized vessel to the socket;
• (d) a valve body member having a base portion, the base portion fitting into the valve receiving socket and cooperating with a first, flexible seal member that normally occludes the passage forming the first fluid path from the interior of the pressurized vessel to the socket when the valve body member is not being depressed, the base portion also including a second fluid path having an inlet and an outlet, the inlet adapted to be exposed to an interior of the compliant container through said open neck;
• (e) a second flexible seal member disposed in the socket and cooperating with the valve body member for normally blocking fluid flow from exiting the second fluid path outlet when the valve body member is not being depressed;
• and
• (f) a spring-biased push-button having a nozzle disposed therein, the push-button coupled to the valve body member, depression of the push-button simultaneously displacing the valve body member relative to the first flexible seal member and the second flexible seal member, allowing the liquid to be dispensed to pass through the second fluid path and to mix with the gas pressurizing the vessel before exiting the nozzle.
