Abstract

A valve assembly for a pressurized aerosol container which has a neutral bias. The valve may be of the metered dose type and is preferably springless. Containers equipped with such valves may be employed in breath actuated dispensing devices with simplified mechanisms since it is not necessary to overcome any biasing force within the valve.
