Actuating device for pressurized fluid container with open piston
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240034543A1) describes an actuating device designed for use with pressurized packaging or fluid containers utilizing a propellant gas. The device includes an actuator head with a discharge orifice and a discharge duct connecting the orifice to an entry port. The actuating device features an open piston with a sealing lip and an inner rod that closes the discharge orifice, with the piston biased towards the opening. A lever or push button on the actuator head is used to release the discharge orifice, allowing for the dispensing of fluid from the container using the propellant gas.
Furthermore, the actuating device includes specific design elements such as the open piston having a larger diameter at the front end than the rear end, enabling the propellant gas overpressure to urge the inner rod towards the discharge orifice, creating a resilient biased valve mechanism. Additional features include an upper container closure with resilient means for supporting the biasing force on the open piston, as well as the use of plastic materials for the various components. The design also incorporates elements like guiding ribs and elements to prevent twisting or buckling of the inner rod, ensuring smooth operation. The discharge orifice is specifically designed with a circular rim of a certain thickness to minimize residual product outside the orifice, enhancing efficiency in dispensing.
