Dual component insert with uniform discharge orifice for fine mist spray
U.S. Patent No. 10,370,177
Summit Packaging Systems, Inc.
Summit Packaging Systems, Inc., Manchester, NH, patented
a dual component insert for use with a spray actuator to
dispense a pressurized product. The dual component insert
comprises a support insert and an insert disk. The support
insert includes a base wall that has a support discharge
orifice formed therein and a cylindrical wall is formed
integral with, and extends from, the base wall so as
to define an insert cavity. The insert disk has a disk
discharge orifice; the diameter of the disk discharge
orifice is smaller than the diameter of the support discharge
orifice, and the insert disk is received and captively retained
within the insert cavity so that the disk discharge orifice is
axially aligned with the support discharge orifice. The insert
disk is manufactured from a relatively thin, durable material
that facilitates fabrication of a consistent, accurate, uniform
and well-defined small diameter discharge orifice that results
in dispensing a fine mist spray.
