Compressed Gas Dispensers

Abstract

A dispenser having a pressure vessel cartridge communicatively coupled with a chamber housing a product. The communicatively coupled pressure vessel cartridge applies a pressure to the product to displace the product from the chamber and expel the product out of a nozzle.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A dispensing kit comprising:
 a reusable airless dispenser comprising a housing having a chamber and a pressurized gas inlet;   one or more disposable reservoirs, each disposable reservoir being removably couplable in the chamber of the housing;   a pressure vessel cartridge containing a compressed gas couplable to the pressurized gas inlet of the housing, the compressed gas contained in the pressure vessel cartridge to impart a pressure on a disposable reservoir of the one or more disposable reservoirs removably coupled in the chamber of the housing; and   an actuatable valve communicatively coupled to the disposable reservoir in the chamber of the housing, wherein when the actuatable valve is actuated the imparted pressure on the disposable reservoir in the chamber of the housing compresses the product contained in the disposable reservoir to expel the product out of the disposable reservoir.   
     
     
         2 . The dispensing kit according to  claim 1 , wherein each disposable reservoir contains a respective product to apply to a body. 
     
     
         3 . The dispensing kit according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the one or more disposable reservoirs comprises a flexible bag. 
     
     
         4 . The dispensing kit according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the one or more disposable reservoirs comprises a tube and a piston slidably disposed in the tube. 
     
     
         5 . The dispensing kit according to  claim 1 , wherein each disposable reservoir comprises a nozzle configured to spray a respective product contained in each disposable reservoir when the product is expelled from the disposable reservoir. 
     
     
         6 . The dispensing kit according to  claim 1 , further comprising a regulator arranged in a pressure path between the chamber and the pressure vessel cartridge to regulate the pressure imparted to the chamber. 
     
     
         7 . The dispensing kit according to  claim 6 , further comprising a safety valve arranged in the pressure path between the regulator and the chamber to selectively prevent a pressure from being imparted to the chamber containing the product to provide for removably coupling a disposable reservoir of the one or more disposable reservoirs in the chamber. 
     
     
         8 . The dispensing kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the pressure vessel cartridge is removably couplable with the pressure inlet of the housing to provide for replacing the pressure vessel cartridge. 
     
     
         9 . The dispensing kit according to  claim 8 , wherein the pressure vessel cartridge comprises a disposable carbon dioxide (CO2) cartridge. 
     
     
         10 . A refill cartridge comprising:
 a collapsible container containing a product to be applied to a substrate; and   a product outlet arranged in an end of the collapsible container;   an actuatable valve coupled to the product outlet of the collapsible container;   wherein the collapsible container is responsive to applied pressure to displace a wall of the collapsible container and compress the product contained in the collapsible container.   
     
     
         11 . The refill cartridge of  claim 10 , further comprising a nozzle coupled to the actuatable valve of the collapsible container through which to expel the product out of the nozzle. 
     
     
         12 . The refill cartridge of  claim 10 , wherein the collapsible container comprises a flexible bag. 
     
     
         13 . A dispensing kit comprising:
 a reusable airless dispenser comprising a housing having a chamber and a pressurized gas inlet; and   the refill cartridge of  claim 10  removably coupled in the chamber of the housing.   
     
     
         14 . The dispensing kit of claim  36 , further comprising a pressure vessel cartridge containing a compressed gas couplable to the pressurized gas inlet of the housing, the compressed gas contained in the pressure vessel cartridge to impart a pressure on the refill cartridge of  claim 10  removably coupled in the chamber of the housing. 
     
     
         15 . The dispensing kit of claim  37 , wherein the pressure vessel cartridge is removably couplable with the pressure inlet of the housing to provide for replacing the refill cartridge of  claim 10  removably coupled in the chamber of the housing. 
     
     
         16 . The dispensing kit of  claim 15 , wherein the pressure vessel cartridge comprises a disposable carbon dioxide (CO2) cartridge. 
     
     
         17 . The dispensing kit of  claim 15 , further comprising a regulator arranged in a pressure path between the chamber of the housing and the pressure vessel cartridge to regulate the pressure imparted to the refill cartridge of claim  33  removably coupled in the chamber of the housing. 
     
     
         18 . The dispensing kit of  claim 17 , further comprising a safety valve arranged in the pressure path between the regulator and the chamber of the housing to selectively prevent a pressure from being imparted to the chamber of the housing to provide for removably coupling the refill cartridge of claim  33  in the chamber of the housing.
