Jan. 25, 1966 E. H. GREEN ETAL MULTIPLE SPRAY RATE PRESSURIZED PACKAGE DISPENSER Filed Jan. 5. 1964 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 ited es This invention relates generally to the type of apparatus known as aerosal spray devices, and more particularly is concerned with apparatus which will enable the user to select one of a plurality of spray rates from the same pressurized package.
The type of pressurized product with which the invention is most likely to be used is hair lacquer or similar cosmetic and paint or the like. For example, during the process of adjusting coitlure, the user of'sprayed hair lacquer may wish to dispense very small quantities for interim setting of the parts of the hair and when completely arranged, the user will wish to cover the entire coiflure with a heavy spray. Similar situations in applying paint, enamel, varnish or the like are understood to occur.
The invention enables the same spray package to be used with different spray rates. Since the most ordinary requirements are for a fine and a coarse spray, the preferred embodiment which is described shows a construction providing two rates. More than two can be achieved, but only with added expense, as described hereinafter.
Since other constructions have been devised to provide multiple spray rates from pressurized packages, the primary object of the invention is to provide a structure which dillers from others in that: there is no need to twist the spray head to different positions in using the package; the user can change the spray rate by merely varying the finger pressure on the spray head without putting the package down or stopping an operation being performed by his other hand; no special construction of spray head or valve housing differing from well-known slotted-stem dispensers need be used; no complicated parts are required.
Other objects will appear to those skilled in this art as a description of the preferred embodiment appears hereinafter, in connection with which the drawings illustrate the same.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a median sectional view taken through a pressurized package constructed in accordance with the invention taken generally along the line 11 of FIG. 2 and in the direction indicated.
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary elevational view of the upper end of a pressurized package to show the environment of the invention.
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary enlarged sectional view of a portion of FIG. 2 showing the apparatus in the condition where none of the pressurized product is being dispensed.
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary perspective view of the top of the assembled inner and outer plungers, here shown in their relative position according to a condition shown in FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the plungers of FIG. 4.
MG. 6 is a view similar to that of FIG. 3 but in this case the user has pressed the spray head downward to its first stage and the pressurized product is beingdispensed at a fine rate.
FIG. 7 is a view similar to that of FIGS. '3 and 4, but in this case, the user has pressed the spray head downward to its second stage, and the pressurized product is being dispensd at a coarse rate.
FIG. 8 is a fragmentary bottom view of the stern of the spray head.
FIG. 9 is a fragmentary sectional view of a modified form of the first stage metering groove taken on the line 99 of FIG. 4 and in the indicated direction.
As may be noted from a cursory examination of the illustrations, the invention is characterized by the provision of two valve plungers telescopically arranged one inside the other, each having a valve seat, the inner being urged against the sealing gasket by a weak spring engaging between the bottom of the inner plunger and the floor of a cup-like cavity formed in the outer plunger, while the outer plunger is urged against the sealing gasket by the strong spring bearing against its underside and seated in the valve housing. The first stage movement consists of overcoming the bias of the weak spring, giving access for the pressurized product over the inner valve seat into the hollow stem of the spray head from the valve housing through a radial metering groove in the outer valve seat. The second stage movement consists of further pushing down on the spray head and overcoming the bias on the stronger spring, giving the same access for the pressurized product over the inner valve seat, but now also giving additional access over the outer valve seat.
The construction and operation of the basic apparatus is based upon the well-known slotted stem, single stage aerosol dispenser. In this device there is a spring-pressed single valve plunger having a socket and being mounted for vertical reciprocation in a valve housing. The valve housing is enclosed, has a bottom dip tube extending down into the pressurized package and has an upper flared end. The flared end is crimped into an upstanding boss formed in a cover member secured to the top of the package and clamps an annular sealing gasket into the boss. A spray head with an external orifice and a hollow depending stem has the stem removably engaged through holes in the boss and gasket and engaged in the socket. The gasket seals the stem and a slot in the bottom end of the stem is blocked ofif from the housing because the valve plunger has a seat on its top end pressed against the bottom of the gasket around the stem and gasket hole. Where the socket opens at the seat the slot extends into the gasket. Where the socket opens to a gallery or pocket below the seat, the slot need not extend into the gasket, but need only extend into the gallery or pocket. In either case, pushing the spray head down unseats the plunger from the bottom face of the gasket and exposes the upper end of the slot. The pressurized product passes over the valve seat, into the slot end, into the hollow bore of the stem, where it expands, then out the external orifice of the spray head.
Referring now to the drawings, the reference character 20 is a pressurized package comprising a sheet metal canister 22 designed to contain the high pressure associated with such packages, having a dome 24 with a curled opening 26 to which the construction of the invention is secured. A cover member 23 has a lip 34 curled over the opening 26 and crimped in place, being sealed by gasket material 32. The cover member has an annular well 34 provided with a central upstanding boss 36 in the top wall 38 of which there is a central opening 40. A hollow valve housing 42 with a dip tube 44 secured at its constricted narrow end 46 has a flared upper end 43 that clamps an annular disc-like rubber gasket 50 to bottom of the wall 38, the housing 42 being fixed in place by pinches or crimps 52 around the boss 36.
A spray head 54 of any suitable upper end construction and having an external spray orifice 56, has a hollow stem 53 with expansion bore 6% which passes through the hole 40 and through an aligned opening 62 in gasket 50 and is removably mated with a socket 64 in the inner valve plunger 66. The plunger 66 will be described in exposing the upper end of slot 74 in gallery 104 to the greater detail hereinafter, but at this point only its socket cavity 94.

Weiss: Goalkeeper Sacapano can handle job
MANILA, Philippines – The Azkals' goalkeeping chores will likely fall on Eduard Sacapano's shoulders if keepers Neil Etheridge and Ronald Mueller remain unavailable for the 2012 Suzuki Cup.
But Philippine team coach Hans Michael Weiss is confident that the 32-year-old Army man from Negros Occidental can handle the job.
Weiss said in a recent interview with ANC's Hardball that they are still waiting word from Etheridge's mother club Fulham FC if the Filipino-British will be allowed to participate in the Cup.
If Etheridge doesn't get his release, "Sacapano will play the same role that he did in the previous friendly against Singapore," said Weiss.
The German coach said Sacapano has shown vast improvement after undergoing heavy training in the past year.
Sacapano was instrumental in the Azkals' successes in recent competitions and friendly games.
His penalty save against Chinese Taipei helped the Azkals win the Paulino Alcantara Peace Cup last September.
Sacapano also gave out a stunning performance in the Philippines' friendly against Singapore with key saves, giving the Azkals a 1-0 win versus the visiting Lions.
"He is strong in training right now," said Weiss. "He has our full confidence."

Management was very supportive and personable. The director makes it a point to learn everyone's names. Supervisors were always willing to assist. Training provided was adequate but it depends on the effort one puts into using it.Cons
The only cons were that there were gaps in training. There was some gossip amongst reps. The job can get a little frustrating if you don't know how to deal with customers.

ALOT...you have NO sick days and get occurances if call out..meaing flu season ran rampant thru our building due to poeple not being able to call out. They say they understand you have a life outside of work, but try getting time off to take care of that life outside...they gave us two "life Happens" events that you could use for sick days and not get in trouble...but then they took them away. I bet the CEO and higher ups stay home when they are sick. They own you and if you work here be prepared to give up all your life outside of work. they praise their 500/1500 bonus program in the hiring process, but what they dont tell you is it is very, very hard to actually get and with the new opinion based quality scores the are now using I would say inpossible, its a set up to fail. If you start in the call center, you have to be there a year BEFORE you can consider going to a different department, something they fail to tell you in the interview process. I took the job not really wanting to be in the call center but figured I was getting my foot in the door and could move into something I wanted to do within the company. The computers you have to work are JUNK...mine crashes every afternoon, usually when Im on the phone. There is alot more I could say about how bad this place is...but to sum it up I wouldnt recommend this place to my worse enemy for employment. I am hoping to find something else soon..Advice to ManagementAdvice

If it is the Bios password and you do not know the original password you will not be able to change it. Removing the CMOS battery for 30 minutes might remove it but you have to write down your bios settings as they may be changed when you reinstall the battery. If I remember right I had to reformat an old Dell computer to remove the bios password from that. If you have proof of purchace with Dell you can get the password from them so I would imagine other makers may be the same.

If it is the BIOS password you are referring to then some makes of PC allow you to reset it by removing a jumper on the motherboard (all Dell machines have this feature). What PC do you have?

Links worthy your attention #2
So our speakers have been active again and posted a lot of interesting content for you to enjoy and get to know them a bit more before you meet them at the conference March 29th. First off is Chris Brogan : Access is an Asset
The definition of asset I found was "A useful or valuable thing, person, or quality." Your home is sometimes thought to be an asset (though in many people's mindsets, it's a liability, because in this climate, it's not guaranteed to yield more money). People think of their stock investments as assets, but if you're holding the wrong stocks, that isn'tReceived used Does. Bites has http://sycamorepewter.com/enx/trazadone-pharmacy.html use it's Get point can you buy viagra in america Good stainless We different.

always true, is it? Your experience can definitely be an asset, but tell that to people who are out of work for 18 months and climbing, but who are told repeatedly that they're "overqualified," which is the biggest F-you that any human should ever have to endure professionally. Read the whole story here ››
Second link is from Conversation Agent : The Way You Look at Things Changes the Things You Look at
I asked for a raise of hands from those who own one and (almost) 70 of them went up. In addition to a laptop, and a smartphone. Do we need a third device? People want a great product and a great experience. Part of that experience is the way you look at things, your vision and point of view. It comes across in the functionality of your product — and in how you service it. Read the whole story here ››
Third link is from Mitch Joel : How Cloud Computing Changes Everything
If the cloud isn't on your businesses mind, rest assured that it should be, and that it will (once again) change everything. In simplistic terms, the cloud is just another term for the Internet as a storage facility. The core technological innovation is that instead of storing a single piece of software and/or data on your own, single, fixed computer, you can now store data and run software off of the Internet – giving it freedom to be accessed by any computer of your choice and creating the ultimate backup plan.

So that's the links from our speakers. Read, like and share, and I'll see you at re:think

Read more: Ireland sends $1.3 million in aid to Japan as they deal with nuclear crisis
With scenes of devastation after the earthquake in Japan still fresh in the public mind, pop wonder kid Justin Bieber and Irish dad rockers U2 are listed among the banner name artists who have vowed to record a new album to raise money for massive relief effort there.
The good news is that all of the world famous singers are acting quickly. Sources at Universal Music announced on Tuesday that they hope to release a digital-only charity album globally by the end of this week.
All proceeds from the fund raising album will got to the Japanese Red Cross, a spokesperson for Universal Music told the press on Monday.
"Japan needs our help. We all need to step up," Bieber wrote on his Twitter account, regarding his own involvement with the new charity album.
Other pop stars scheduled to participate in the new album include Rihanna, Bon Jovi and rapper Nicki Minaj.
Rumors suggest that Lady Gaga may also appear on the album, with futher pop royalty to be announced.
Last week Gaga created her own "We Pray for Japan" rubber wrist bands to sell to her fans on her website in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake, raising $250,000 within the first two days of sales, with all proceeds going to relief efforts.

Economic growth is not compatible with environmental sustainability. The effort to push up the rate of growth by increasing obligations to repay financial debts is in direct conflict with the availability of exhaustible resources and with the capacity of waste sinks. The economic crisis of 200809 has resulted in a welcome change to the totally unsustainable trend of increasing carbon dioxide emissions. The Kyoto Protocal of 1997 was generous to the rich countries, giving them property rights on the carbon sinks and the atmosphere in exchange for the promise of a reduction of 5 per cent of their emissions relative to1990. This modest Kyoto objective will be fulfilled more easily because of the economic crisis. This shows that economic de-growth, leading to a steady state, is a plausible objective for the rich industrial economies. This would be supported by the environmental justice movements of the South, which are active in resource extraction conflicts.

"Somebody told me you had a boyfriend who looks like a girlfriend that I had in February of last year," Brandon Flowers sings in the Killers' big hit. "I owe it all to the mistake he made back then," Relient K's Matthew Thiessen sings on Mmhmm. "I owe it all to my girl's ex-boyfriend." The fourth album by these energetic Ohio kidsunknowns to Chingy fans, but golden gods on the Christian pop-punk circuit, a constituency that recently debuted Mmhmm inside the Top 20is filled with wholesome refractions of alt-culture edge like that. In "I So Hate Consequences" Thiessen spends last night "tearing down every stoplight and stop sign in this town" trying to outrun the traffic cop upstairs; in "More Than Useless" he wonders "why I'm even here at all" before finding reassurance in a keyboard line as crisp as a Communion wafer.
Yet despite the absence of blowjobs and 40-ouncers and black eyeliner (Beelzebub they've got), Relient K don't bland out into mere utility. Thiessen self-flagellates as passionately as any emo infidel, and Matthew Hoopes has mastered the holy trinity of major-label pop-punk guitar: chug, crinkle, and cream. Call 'em Jimmy Eat Right and Sleep Tight.

Adrianne Devine
April 29, 2014
WASHINGTON - Junior defender Adrianne Devine (Loudonville, N.Y./Shaker) was named to the BIG EAST Honor Roll on Tuesday after helping the Hoyas close out the regular season with a 20-5 victory over the University of Cincinnati Bearcats this past weekend.

It is the eighth BIG EAST Honor Roll nod for the Hoyas this season and the first of Devine's career.

I love dove it leaves you feeling clean and soft!!
I don't understand this product, and I must admit until recently I had not looked at the ingredients closely.
It says that it "Wont dry your skin like soap can". But the active ingredient is a DETERGENT so this would be worse. And when i looked it up on google, its not an especially nice one.
I am no chemist, but the Australian version says that it contains 1/4 moisturizing cream, can anyone tell me which of the active ingredients this is because all i can see is detergent, acid ( to make neutral PH)., beef fat salt, water, fragrance and color.
Can someone go into bat for this product. Firstly let us know where the moisturizer is, and why they use detergent. No wonder i had dry skin.
This is the best soap! I use it for my face. My skin feels soft and clean, never tight or dry. I always end up coming back to this. It also keeps my skin clear :-)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have been using this as a face cleanser once a day for about a year. I have tried other brands, like Neutrogena, and this is really the only one that keeps my skin clear without drying it out. I do break out occassonally, but those breakouts are usually makeup or homone related. Anyway, the Dove Beauty Bar (I prefer the unscented version) is very inexpensive and soothing to use. It really works.
I have to admit, I have become a total Dove girl! After years of battling my finicky skin, I have found a cleanser that works beautifully for me. I have tried everything high end and low- but dove keeps my skin clear and balanced. I use it on both my body and my face. I prefer the sensitive skin version.
Edit: I do have a problem with Unilever still doing animal testing.

Another rave for Dove from me. I got the beauty bar free with my bottle of Dove conditioner and I was a little curious after having such great experiences with Dove. The soap itself is pretty simple, a moisturizing soap that gently cleans. It left me feeling clean and smelling great. However, with Summer here, I need a stronger soap to clean up with after a long day at work, like Irish Spring. So, once winter comes around, this is going in the shower with me.
Dove is great! It smells nice and REALLY softens my skin - even the rougher patches on my elbows have softened. My boyfriend was dumbfounded by the softness on our first date and exclaimed I had skin that would be tough for even a baby to compete with.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have been using this for several months, usually once a day. It makes my skin feel a little dry but still very soft. It does make me break out a little on my nose though but then most products do. I also use it on my body with good results.
Dove bar soap has been a staple in my shower for years. Lathers and cleans well. Rinses without a film and does not dry me out like other bar soaps. A classic.
My doctor recommended this soap when I was getting irritated "down there". I was afraid it would be more drying than my body washes. Instead, it is more moisturizing than a body wash! It has a nice clean scent and my skin is soft.

Mobb Deep's Prodigy has opened up about patching his past issues with Nas and why fans can gracefully expect more records from the Queensbridge rap veterans.
Despite past conflicts, Prodigy described his recent collaborations with Nas as nothing less than powerful.
When we make songs together, man, it's another level, it's incredible music. It just gives you that feeling, like nostalgia almost…The music is just real powerful when Mobb Deep and Nas work together. So I said, 'We gotta keep that feeling going, man. We would be fools to stop doing that because of whatever petty bullsh*t that was going on.' … We put that aside and was like, 'All right, let's start doin' some music.' We had the 'Dog Sh*t' and made a couple of other joints that's crazy." (MTV)
Last month, P described how he managed to get Nas on their "Dog Sh*t" collaboration despite the rap star being on the road.
"He was actually on tour with Ky-Mani Marley, so we sent it through the email. We did a couple other joints. Because you know, back when we were coming up, The Infamous and our early albums, that was what we did. We recorded songs with the home team, and Nas was part of the home team. It was only right that we bring that feeling back. You can never go back to a time and try to recreate that sound because that time is done. But you can bring some of the feeling and that nostalgia back by reminding people what n*ggas was about, and how n*ggas is a team. That's what we did, and it's coming out crazy man." (Complex)
A few weeks ago, P hinted at his reconciled relationship with the fellow Queens, New York native.
"We've beent talking since I've been home," P told DJ Whoo Kid referring to Nas. "We put that to the side to do this music. This music is crazy right now that we're working on. We did a couple of joints, you know what I'm saying? It's coming out crazy, man. The music is more important than anything, all the little petty bullsh*t, you know what I'm saying? So we good on that…It was all love, because n*ggas came up together. So it's nothing but love when we see each other…" (Radio Planet TV)
Mobb Deep and Prodigy's "Dog Sh*t" collaboration landed online in early April.
Prodigy and Nas dropped their newest collaboration. Mobb Deep reunites with frequent collaborator Nas on "Dog Sh*t," produced by The Alchemist and Havoc. The dark, hood-friendly joint, which features piano keys fluttering over ominous bass drones, solidifies Prodigy, Havoc, and Nas' gangster mentality. "Dog sh*t, I sh*t you not/ You bring that larceny, danger, or harm around me?/ Dog sh*t, listen to me good/ We the grand goons, just a lick of nickel dime hood," spits P on the chorus, while Nas welcomes his peer back from prison. (Rap-Up)

CHICAGO -- Bayern Munich forward Julian Green wants to play for the U.S. national team and has applied to FIFA to change his association from Germany.
The 18-year-old, who was born in Tampa, Fla., played for Germany in three qualifiers for the 2014 European Under-19 Championship, making his debut last Oct. 10 against Belarus and getting assists two days later against Latvia and on Oct. 15 versus Scotland.
He made his professional debut for Bayern on Nov. 27 as an 88th-minute substitute in a Champions League match at CSKA Moscow.
FIFA since 2009 has allowed a one-time change in national team affiliation for a player who has appeared in an official match for a youth national team as long as the player had dual citizenship at the time.
"We are absolutely thrilled," U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said in a statement Tuesday. "He is a very special talent. We wanted him to feel comfortable with our program and listen to his heart when making this decision."
Green trained with the U.S. team in Germany this month ahead of its exhibition game against Ukraine.
"Obviously this was a big decision, and I spent a long time discussing it with my family," Green said in a statement issued by the U.S. Soccer Federation. "I was born in Florida and my father still lives there, so I have deep roots in the U.S. I'm very proud to be representing the United States.
"A big part of the decision was the experience I had in Frankfurt. All the players were super nice and welcomed me from the beginning. Clint Dempsey gave me a jersey with my name on it, and the way they supported me gave me a lot of belief. The coaches have shown a lot of trust in me, and now I hope to do everything I can to earn a spot on the World Cup roster."
Green has been invited to the U.S. training camp ahead of an April 2 exhibition against Mexico in Glendale, Ariz. He will become the latest German-American to join the U.S. program under Klinsmann, following Jermaine Jones, Fabian Johnson, Daniel Williams, Timmy Chandler and Alfredo Morales.
Klinsmann played for Germany's team that won the 1990 World Cup and the 1996 European Championship, and he coached Germany to third place in the 2006 World Cup. He moved to California after retiring as a player in 1998 and replaced Bob Bradley as U.S. coach three years ago.
