Abstract

An aerosol valve tip and insert assembly adapted for use on aerosol dispensers. The tip includes a body having interconnecting channels and an integral actuator post defining an annular recess. An insert having arcuate shaped bosses defining radial feed channels and a swirl chamber on the rear face is received in the annular recess and abuts the post. The tip and insert assembly provides a substantially uniform aerosol spray pattern and droplet size for carbon dioxide, fluorocarbon, and other pressurized spray formulations over a broad range of pressures.
