Trigger Sprayer Aerosol Can for Sodium Chloride Mist
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional methods for treating cuts and bruises using a large plastic bottle of Sodium Chloride Mixture Agent are cumbersome and not suitable for rapid, portable application, especially in emergency situations where multiple people need treatment quickly.
Innovation Solution
A Sodium Chloride Mixture Agent delivered through an aerosol can with a trigger sprayer, where the tab must be pulled to activate the sprayer, allowing for easy, one-handed use and rapid application of the agent in a conical mist pattern, utilizing a propellant like nitrogen or air to exert pressure on the agent for efficient dispensing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a large plastic bottle of Sodium Chloride Mixture Agent is used, then the agent can be stored and dispensed, but it becomes bulky and cumbersome to use
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the traditional large plastic bottle into an aerosol can system with a separate propellant chamber and a flexible bag containing the Sodium Chloride Mixture Agent. This segmentation allows the agent to be dispensed in a controlled, space-efficient manner while maintaining portability.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses a propellant gas (nitrogen or air) stored under pressure in the aerosol can to force the Sodium Chloride Mixture Agent through a dip tube and out through a trigger sprayer. This pneumatic system enables rapid, one-handed dispensing without requiring the user to manually handle bulky containers.
2Productivity
If a traditional bottle is used for treating multiple people, then treatment can be provided, but it cannot be dispensed rapidly enough for emergency situations
Solution Approach 1:
The aerosol can system with trigger sprayer allows for continuous, rapid dispensing of the Sodium Chloride Mixture Agent. The propellant maintains constant pressure on the flexible bag, enabling the user to spray continuously across multiple patients without interruption or need to reposition a bulky bottle.
Solution Approach 2:
The trigger sprayer mechanism provides dynamic control over the dispensing rate, allowing the user to rapidly apply the agent across multiple people in emergency situations. The system transitions from a static, manual pouring method to a dynamic, controllable spray that can be quickly directed at different wound locations.
3Reliability
If the aerosol can is designed with a tab that must be pulled, then tamper-proofing is achieved, but the activation mechanism becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The breakaway tab is pre-positioned on the aerosol can in a specific state (covering or restricting the trigger mechanism) that prevents activation until the tab is deliberately removed. This preliminary configuration ensures the product remains tamper-proof and unused until the user intentionally pulls the tab to activate the sprayer.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables fast, efficient, and portable treatment of wounds with the Sodium Chloride Mixture Agent, allowing for precise application at various angles, making it particularly useful in emergency situations such as military combat or catastrophes where multiple people need treatment quickly.
Implementation Method 1
There is a Propellant composed of nitrogen, air or mixture thereof inside the can that presses on the Bag that holds the Sodium Chloride Mixture Agent

AI summary
An Aerosol Sodium Chloride Mixture Agent with Trigger Sprayer that can be easily held in one hand. The Sodium Chloride Mixture Agent is in a bag inside a can and under pressure from air nitrogen, 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane, Difluoroethane, Petroleum Hydrocarbon, CO2, HFC1234ze, individually or mixture thereof and can only be initially opened and released by pulling the tab of the trigger sprayer. The Trigger Assembly cannot be sprayed until the tab is pulled. The Can is cylindrical canister housing and has a Dip Tube that goes to the bag of the can to the Sodium Chloride Mixture Agent. There is Propellant composed of air nitrogen, 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane, Difluoroethane, Petroleum Hydrocarbon, CO2, HFC1234ze, individually or mixture thereof in the can that pushes on the bag holding the Sodium Chloride Mixture Agent up through the Dip Tube to the Valve Operative and then to the Actuator Stem up through the Trigger SprayerInitially pulling the tab of the Trigger Assembly allows the Trigger to be pressed and be moved. Once the Tab is pulled it does not ever need to be pulled again for future uses and allows the Trigger Pivoting Member of the Trigger Assembly to press down on the Actuator Stem which then exerts pressure on the Valve Operative which allows the Propellant in the Can to exert pressure on the bag and force the Sodium Chloride Mixture Agent in the bag through the Dip Tube up the Valve Operative through the Chamber Hole into the Direction Chamber with pressure up through the Nozzle out the Opening toward the area to be treated. The user then holds down the trigger and sprays the area to be treated with the Sodium Chloride Mixture Agent which comes out as a mist in a spray cone.
