Pressurizing system for a dispensing container

A refillable and repressurizable container for containing and dispensing a dispensable material, comprising:

• a) a container having an opening and a surface having a hole, and an edge about said hole is bent inward toward an interior of said container to provide a rounded contour;
• b) a fill valve coupled in said container, said fill valve including an upper split portion defining two resilient relatively flat bills that are in contact, a section expanding away from said bills and terminating in a barb, a lower annular flared flange, and an annular groove is defined between said barb and said flange, wherein said edge of said container lies within said annular groove of said fill valve, between said barb and said flange, said fill valve having an interior space;
• c) a cap removably coupled to said opening;
• and
• d) an actuatable outlet valve coupled to said cap, wherein when said container contains the dispensable material and is pressurized, actuation of said outlet valve releases a dispensed from of the dispensable material from said outlet valve.

A refillable and repressurizable container for containing and dispensing a dispensable material, comprising:

• a) a container having an opening;
• b) a fill valve coupled in said container, said fill valve including an upper split portion defining two resilient relatively flat bills that are in contact, a section expanding away from said bills and terminating in a barb, a lower annular flared flange, and an annular groove is defined between said barb and said flange, said fill valve having an interior space;
• c) a cap removably coupled to said opening;
• d) an actuatable outlet valve coupled to said cap, wherein when said container contains the dispensable material and is pressurized, actuation of said outlet valve releases a dispensed from of the dispensable material from said outlet valve;
• and
• e) at least one separating element,
• wherein said container includes a surface defining a hole having an edge thereabout, and said fill valve extends through said hole and said at least one separating element separates said fill valve from said edge and said barb of said fill valve lies above a first portion of said at least one separating element, and said flange of said fill valve lies below a second portion of said at least one separating element.

A refillable and repressurizable container for containing and dispensing a dispensable material, comprising:

• a) a container having an opening;
• b) a fill valve coupled in said container, said fill valve including an upper split portion defining two resilient relatively flat bills that are in contact, a section expanding away from said bills and terminating in a barb, a lower annular flared flange, an annular groove is defined between said barb and said flange, said fill valve having an interior space;
• c) a cap removably coupled to said opening;
• d) an actuatable outlet valve coupled to said cap, wherein when said container contains the dispensable material and is pressurized, actuation of said outlet valve releases a dispensed form of the dispensable material from said outlet valve;
• e) an annular catch;
• and
• f) a resilient strain relief member,
• wherein said container includes a surface defining a hole having an edge thereabout, and said annular catch is positioned between said fill valve and said edge and said strain relief member is positioned between said fill valve and said catch, with said strain relief member being in contact with said annular catch.

A refillable and repressurizable container for containing and dispensing a dispensable material, comprising:

• a) a container having an open end and surface provided with a hole spaced apart from said open end and having an edge thereabout;
• b) a resilient fill valve extending through said hole, said fill valve defining an interior space, said fill valve naturally in a completely closed configuration and being movable to an open configuration upon application of a pressurizing gas into said interior space;
• c) at least one separating element separating said fill valve from physical contact with said edge;
• d) a cap removably coupled to said open end;
• and
• e) an actuatable outlet valve coupled to said cap, wherein when said container contains the dispensable material and is pressurized, actuation of said outlet valve releases a dispensed form of the material from said outlet valve.

A pressurizing system for a pressurizable container, comprising:

• a) a pressurization station including a compressor and a needle in communication with said compressor, said needle having a head portion and a relatively reduced diameter neck portion;
• and
• b) a refillable and repressurizable container for containing a dispensing material and dispensing said dispensing material is a dispensed form, said container including a resilient fill valve defining an interior space having a head portion, a reduced diameter neck portion, and a flared opening portion, said fill valve being naturally in a closed configuration and being moved to an open configuration upon application of a pressurizing gas into said interior space,
• wherein when said container is seated over said needle, said needle extends within said valve such that said head portion of said needle resides within said held portion of said fill valve, said neck portion of said needle resides within said neck portion of said fill valve,
• wherein upon actuation of said compressor, a pressurizing gas is forced through said needle, opens said fill valve, and pressurizes said container, said pressurization of said container causing said valve to grip said needle to retain said container on said needle.

A pressurizing system for a pressurizable container, comprising:

• a) a pressurization station including a compressor, a needle in communication with said compressor, and an upstanding collar surrounding said needle, said collar having a cylindrically tubular lower portion having a first inner diameter, and an upper portion with a surface beveled outward relative to said inner surface of said lower portion of said collar;
• and
• b) a refillable and repressurizable container for containing a dispensable material and dispensing said material in a dispensed form, said container including a lower end having an outer diameter and provided with a fill valve adapted to be engaged by said needle,
• wherein when said container is positioned at said collar, said beveled inner surface guides said lower end of said container into said lower portion of said collar and into alignment with said needle.

A pressurizing system for a container adapted to store and dispense a dispensable material, comprising:

• a) a pressurization station including a compressor, a needle in communication with said compressor;
• and
• b) a refillable and repressurizable contain for containing the dispensable material and dispensing the material in a dispensed form, said container including a surface provided with a fill valve adapted to be engaged by said needle, said fill valve defining an interior space and two resilient separable bill portions which extend above said interior space and which are naturally in contact to closed said fill valve,
• wherein when said container is fully seated on said needle but said needle is not providing a pressurizing fluid from said compressor into said fill valve, said needle extends within said interior space but does not extend between said bill portions and said fill valve is closed,
• and wherein when said needle provides a pressurizing fluid into said fill valve, said bill portions of said fill valve separate to open said fill valve.
