Abstract
An aerosol valve system for storing and dispensing a one- or multicomponent formulation, comprising a casing (8), at least two valves (1, 1a, 4, 4a), connected to at least a first reservoir (2, 2a) and/or at least a second reservoir (17), respectively, wherein the first valve (1, 1a) comprises a stem (7), an outlet channel (3) for discharging the formulation, and a mixing chamber (3a), and wherein between the at least two valves (1, 1a, 4, 4a) extends a cleaning channel (6, 6a), connecting the second reservoir (17) to the mixing chamber (3a) of the first valve (1, 1a).

10. Apparatus comprising:
an aerosol valve system including; a container, wherein the container houses a first reservoir, and a second reservoir, wherein the first reservoir is fluidly separated within the container from the second reservoir,
wherein the first reservoir houses a first material, and the second reservoir houses a second material that is different from the first material and which acts as a cleaning agent with respect to the first material,a first valve, wherein the first valve is selectively changeable between a first valve open state and a first valve closed state, wherein the first valve is fluidly connected with the first reservoir within the container, wherein the first valve includes and axially extending first valve stem, wherein the first valve stem includes an axially extending outlet channel, wherein the first valve is operative to discharge the first material through the outlet channel when the first valve is in the first valve open state, a mixing chamber, wherein the mixing chamber is fluidly intermediate of the first reservoir and the outlet channel, a second valve, wherein the second valve is selectively changeable between a second valve open state and a second valve closed state, wherein the second valve is fluidly connected with the second reservoir within the container, a cleaning channel, wherein the second valve is in fluid connection with the cleaning channel and is operative to discharge the second material to the cleaning channel in the second valve open state, wherein the cleaning channel is in fluid connection with the mixing chamber of the first valve, wherein the first valve in the first valve open state is operative to discharge the first material through the outlet channel, and wherein after the first valve is changed from the first valve open state to the first valve closed state, the second valve is enabled to be in the second valve open state, whereby in the second valve open state the second material flows through the cleaning channel, the mixing chamber and the outlet channel to clean the first material therefrom. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. Apparatus comprising:
an aerosol valve system including a container housing fluidly separated first and second reservoirs, wherein the first reservoir is configured to house a first material in the second reservoir is configured to house a second material that is a cleaning agent with respect to the first material, a first valve, wherein the first valve is fluidly connected to the first reservoir within the container, wherein the first valve is hand actuatable between a first valve open state and a first valve closed state, wherein in the first valve open state the first valve is operative to discharge the first material from the first valve, a second valve, wherein the second valve is fluidly connected to the second reservoir in the container, wherein the second valve is hand actuatable between a second valve open state and a second valve closed state, wherein in the second valve open state the second valve is operative to discharge the second material to a cleaning channel, wherein the cleaning channel is fluidly connected to the first valve, wherein in the second valve open state and the first valve closed state, the second material is discharged through the first valve, whereby the first material is cleaned from the first valve by the discharged second material. - View Dependent Claims (29)
