Abstract

Pressurized can comprising a body ( 2 ), a dome ( 3 ) accommodating a valve ( 4 ), a concavely shaped bottom ( 5 ), an inner casing ( 7 ) attached to a cup ( 6 ), a push rod ( 9 ) arranged in the inner casing ( 7 ), said push rod ( 9 ) being actuated through the cup ( 6 ) and intended to force open the inner casing ( 7 ), with said inner casing ( 7 ) being joined to the cup ( 6 ) via a spring cage ( 11 ), said spring cage ( 11 ) containing a spring-loaded trigger ( 12 ) which acts on the push rod ( 9 ) which, in turn, acts on a cover ( 8 ) arranged at the can-side end of the inner casing ( 7 ), said cover ( 8 ) being a membrane which seals the inner casing ( 7 ) at its can-side end hermetically against the contents of the pressurized can ( 1 ) and which is torn open by the push rod ( 9 ) when the trigger ( 12 ) is actuated.

Claims (21)

1. Pressurized can comprising a body ( 2 ), a dome ( 3 ) accommodating a valve ( 4 ), a concavely shaped bottom ( 5 ), an inner casing ( 7 ) attached to a cup ( 6 ), a push rod ( 9 ) arranged in the inner casing ( 7 ), said push rod ( 9 ) being actuated through the cup ( 6 ) and intended to force open the inner casing ( 7 ), with said inner casing ( 7 ) being joined to the cup ( 6 ) via a spring cage ( 11 ), said spring cage ( 11 ) containing a spring-loaded trigger ( 12 ) which acts on the push rod ( 9 ) which, in turn, acts on a cover ( 8 ) arranged at the can-side end of the inner casing ( 7 ), characterized in that a portion of the inner casing ( 7 ) defines the cover ( 8 ), wherein the cover ( 8 ) is a membrane integral with and forming one piece with the inner casing ( 7 ) which seals the inner casing ( 7 ) at its can-side end hermetically against the contents of the pressurized can ( 1 ) and which is torn open by the push rod ( 9 ) when the trigger ( 12 ) is actuated, wherein the pressure inside the inner casing ( 7 ) is lower than the pressure outside the inner casing ( 7 ) and said membrane is comprised of a material sufficiently flexible so that in response to the higher pressure outside the inner casing ( 7 ), said membrane bulges into said inner casing ( 7 ).

2. Pressurized can according to claim 1 , characterized in that the inner casing ( 7 ) is provided, at its extreme end, with a receptacle ( 18 ) for securing it to the spring cage ( 11 ).

3. Pressurized can according to claim 2 , characterized in that the receptacle ( 18 ) and a spring cage ( 11 ) are clinched together.

4. Pressurized can according to claim 3 , characterized in that the free end of the receptacle ( 18 ) is placed over an outer circumferential projection ( 32 ) of the spring cage ( 11 ).

5. Pressurized can according to claim 1 , characterized in that a second membrane ( 15 ) is arranged in the transition area from the inner casing ( 7 ) to the receptacle ( 18 ).

6. Pressurized can according to claim 1 , characterized in that the inner casing ( 7 ) is arranged on a cup ( 6 ) located in the bottom ( 5 ) of the pressurized can ( 1 ).

7. Pressurized can according to claim 1 , characterized in that the cup ( 6 ) with the inner casing ( 7 ) is arranged in the dome ( 2 ) of the pressurized can ( 1 ).

8. Pressurized can according to claim 7 , characterized in that the trigger ( 12 ) is provided with a receptacle ( 33 ) for a trigger pin ( 14 ) or a spray head.

9. Pressurized can according to claim 1 , characterized in that the inner casing ( 7 ) is secured to the cup ( 6 ) arranged in the bottom ( 5 ) of the can ( 1 ) and is provided with an attached membrane ( 8 ).

10. Pressurized can according to claim 9 , characterized in that the inner casing ( 7 ) and the cup ( 6 ) are joined together by crimping.

11. Pressurized can according to claim 1 , characterized in that the spring cage ( 11 ) is fixed in a central pocket ( 19 ) of the cup ( 6 ).

12. Pressurized can according to claim 11 , characterized in that the trigger ( 12 ) is provided, at its cup-side end, with a peripheral projection ( 22 ) acting as an abutment for the spring element ( 13 ).

13. Pressurized can according to claim 1 , characterized in that the push rod ( 9 ) is provided with several wings ( 17 ) along a central axis.

14. Pressurized can according to claim 13 , characterized in that the push rod ( 9 ) has the shape of a sloped and sharp-edged hollow cylinder ( 16 ) at its can-side end.

15. Pressurized can according to claim 1 , characterized in that the wings ( 17 ) are provided with cut-outs and/or recesses.

16. Pressurized can according to claim 1 , characterized in that a seal ( 20 ) is arranged between the spring cage ( 11 ) and the cup ( 6 ) in the area of the central pocket ( 19 ).

17. Pressurized can according to claim 1 , characterized in that the spring cage ( 11 ) is provided, at its valve-side end, with an internal projection ( 21 ) acting as an abutment for a spring element ( 13 ).

18. Pressurized can according to claim 1 , characterized in that the trigger ( 12 ) is provided, at its cup-side end, with a sealing seat ( 23 ) having the form of a circumferential projection.

19. Pressurized can according to claim 1 , characterized in that the inner casing ( 7 ) and the membrane ( 8 ) are made from aluminium.

20. Pressurized can according to claim 1 , characterized in that the spring cage ( 11 ) is provided with at least one cut-out ( 34 ).

21. Use of the pressurized can according to claim 1 for liquid two-component systems, in particular two-component sealing foams, two-component glues or two-component coatings.
