20120138639 | Enhanced Valve Sealing In Pressurized Dispensing Container - An improved valve for a pressurized dispensing container has a long sealed shelf life. This is obtained by having the valve stem button drive a tunnel into the grommet which provides both enhanced sealing between the button sidewall and grommet as well as the pinching of the grommet between the button and the valve mounting cup to prevent grommet material creep. A laterally extending annular plate from the bottom of the button facilitates dispensing in a tilt valve fashion. The lower portion of the stem has an interference fit with the grommet. The plate is spaced from the bottom surface of the grommet sufficiently so that the bending of the grommet base that occurs under pressure does not result in contact between the grommet and the tilt plate. | 06-07-2012 |
