Abstract
A dispenser for an aerosol container is presented. The dispenser includes a housing sized to permit at least partial insertion thereinto of an aerosol container having an aerosol supply tube; and a dispenser conduit, having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the conduit being in operative connection with the housing such that the aerosol supply tube of an aerosol container inserted into the housing is operatively connected to the conduit such that it supplies the contents of the aerosol container to the conduit for dispensing through the distal end of the conduit.
Claims8
A dispenser assembly for dispensing the contents of an aerosol container, the dispenser assembly comprising:
- a fitting coupleable to the aerosol container;
- a dispenser conduit having a proximal end operatively coupled to the aerosol container and a distal end out through which the contents of the aerosol container exits;
- and
- an outer conduit disposed about dispenser conduit, wherein the outer conduit in combination with the dispenser conduit can change the direction of the dispensing of the contents of the aerosol container from a vertical direction relative to the aerosol container to at least a direction orthogonal thereto;
- and
- a solenoid/valve assembly disposed in coaxial alignment with the outer conduit and the dispenser conduit;
- wherein the solenoid/valve assembly is located closer to the distal end of the dispenser conduit than the proximal end of the dispenser conduit.
A dispenser assembly for dispensing the contents of an aerosol container, the dispenser assembly comprising:
- a fitting coupleable to the aerosol container;
- at least one pin in cooperative engagement with and extending from the fitting;
- a dispenser unit comprising (i) a base coupled to the at least one pin such that the dispenser unit is pivotable relative to the aerosol container when the fitting is coupled to the aerosol container and (ii) a distal end out through which the contents of the aerosol container exits;
- and
- a conduit for providing a passage for the contents of the aerosol container from the aerosol container through the dispenser unit to the distal end of the dispenser unit and out thereof.
