Abstract
One aspect of the invention is a foaming component for use in association with a foam dispenser. The foaming component includes an air sparging element, a mixing chamber, and an air chamber. The mixing chamber is on one side of the air sparging element and it defines a portion of the mixing chamber. The air chamber is on the other side of the air sparging element and it defines a portion of the air chamber. The air chamber has an air inlet. The mixing chamber has a liquid inlet and an outlet, and the outlet is down stream of the inlet. The foaming component also forms part of a new foam dispenser. The foaming component and the foam dispenser are for use in the production of foam with a plurality of particles suspended therein. Another aspect of the invention is a dispenser with a foaming component therein.

40. A method of making foam including the steps of:
-
providing air under pressure to one side of an air sparging element;
providing liquid under pressure to a mixing chamber on the other side of the air sparging element;
pushing the air through the sparging element into the mixing chamber; and
mixing the air and the liquid thereby creating foam. - View Dependent Claims (41, 42, 43)
