Benefits of technology

[0007]Beneficially, a dosing module, valve module and crimping module are all included on a single, automated apparatus. Because of this orientation, the time from when the bittering agent is added to the container, until a valve is placed on the container and subsequently crimped, is relatively short. For this reason, there is relatively little time when the bittering agent is e

Embodiment Construction

[0021]Embodiments of the invention relate to a system and method for introducing a chemical agent into a container.

[0022]With reference to FIG. 1, in some embodiments, a method for adding a bittering agent to an aerosol container can include depositing a dose of bittering agent into a container (step S10), adding a valve to the container (step S12), and crimping the valve to the container (step S14).

[0023]With reference to FIG. 2, a system, shown in schematic form, in accordance with some embodiments can be used to perform the above-described method. A dose module 220 can be used to add a dose of a bittering agent into a container 210. Next, a valve module 230 can position a valve on the container 210. A crimp module 240 can crimp the valve to the container 210. A propellant module 250 can be used to add propellant to the container 210. The container 210 can be tested in a bath module 260. Finally, an actuator can be placed on the container 210 by the actuator module 270.

Abstract

A method for introducing a bittering agent into an aerosol container. The method can include the steps of: adding a dose of the bittering agent in the container, positioning a valve on the container, crimping the valve to the container, and adding an aerosol propellant to the container. The method can further include the step of adding an actuator to the container. The method can further include the step of testing the container in a bath. The steps of adding a dose of the bittering agent in the container and positioning a valve on the container can be performed by an automated device.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 891,426, filed on Feb. 23, 2007, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]Embodiments of the invention relate to systems and methods for introducing chemical agents into aerosol containers.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Liquefied-gas aerosol dusters provide a safe, useful, convenient, and economically efficient means of cleaning dust and debris from hard to reach places, where it can be harmful or detrimental. This can be especially true for the multitude of electronic equipment used today, where small foreign particles can render expensive equipment inoperable or shorten its useful life. These aerosol dusters provide an easily available source of pressurized gas that can be used to remove such debris. Packaged in appropriately designed aerosol cans, the liquefied gas and aerosol package components can be...
