Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A safety venting apparatus for aerosol containers, comprising; A. a pressurized aerosol container having, 1. a body section, 2. a top wall section, and 3. a bottom wall section, B. at least a portion of said top wall section so constructed and arranged to deflect with respect to the remainder of said container in response to excessive pressures, C. an annular ring fitted onto said body section adjacent said top wall section, D. stab means comprising a plurality of sharp ended portions circumferentially arranged on said annular ring adjacent to and spaced from said portion of said top wall section such that said sharp ended portions pierce said portion of said top wall section upon deflection thereof to thereby vent said excessive pressure to the exterior of said container, and E. a dispensing valve mounted on said container actuable to normally deliver the contents of said container to a point of use.
