Abstract
Abstract A barrier type aerosol dispenser, wherein a product fluid is separately stored at atmospheric pressure within a primary outer container which is essentially a pliable bottle of almost any desirable shape, including that of a thin wall bag. A motivating gas vessel, containing propellant fluid and including a self-cleaning ejector type valve mechanism, is mounted in the fill opening of the primary container and suspended within the product fluid space thereof. The valve mechanism is adapted to initiate outward flow of propellant to motivate discharge flow of product fluid, and a conduit depending from the valve mechanism is adapted to facilitate separate passage flow of the product fluid through the propellant space of the motivating gas vessel.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
137 words
A self-contained aerosol type dispenser comprising a container, wherein atmospheric pressure is maintained, holding a product fluid to be dispensed; a motivating gas vessel suspended within said container; said vessel containing pressurizing fluid, and including an operable valve means for dispensing said product fluid; and passageway means for separate flow of said product fluid into said valve means; said valve means being adapted to initiate discharge flow of said pressurizing fluid, and utilize said flow to effect discharge flow of said product fluid; said vessel mounted in cooperative valvular engagement with said container for controllable admittance of ambient air into the container; said vessel resiliently mounted and normally biased to provide closure of said container; said vessel being reciprocatively movable to allow air entrance into said container when said valve is operated for discharge of product fluid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
137 words
A self-contained aerosol type dispenser comprising a container, wherein atmospheric pressure is maintained, holding a product fluid to be dispensed; a motivating gas vessel suspended within said container; said vessel containing pressurizing fluid, and including an operable valve means for dispensing said product fluid; and passageway means for separate flow of said product fluid into said valve means; said valve means being adapted to initiate discharge flow of said pressurizing fluid, and utilize said flow to effect discharge flow of said product fluid; said vessel mounted in cooperative valvular engagement with said container for controllable admittance of ambient air into the container; said vessel resiliently mounted and normally biased to provide closure of said container; said vessel being reciprocatively movable to allow air entrance into said container when said valve is operated for discharge of product fluid.
