Claim 0:
1. A dispensing system for spraying a liquid/gas mixture, the dispensing system comprising a dispenser that is provided with:
a container having a first side and a second side and a longitudinal axis extending from the first side to the second side, wherein the container is adapted for holding therein a liquid phase and a gas phase with the gas phase in direct contact with the liquid phase and at a pressure of 2 bar or greater;
an actuatable valve comprising a nozzle for spraying the liquid/gas mixture upon actuation of the valve, wherein the valve is attached to the container at the first side, wherein the actuatable valve comprises a mixing chamber adapted for mixing the liquid phase and the gas phase to form the liquid/gas mixture and delivering the mixture to the nozzle, wherein the actuatable valve comprises a first conduit and a separate second conduit, both in fluid connection with the mixing chamber, arranged for passage of the liquid phase and the gas phase into the mixing chamber;
wherein the dispensing system further comprises:
a holder surrounding the dispenser and provided with a first abutment surface for blocking movement of the dispenser out of the holder past the first abutment surface, and a second abutment surface for blocking movement of the dispenser out of the holder past the second abutment surface;
characterized in that the valve is arranged to be actuated with the dispensing system in two different orientations, wherein
in a first orientation the longitudinal axis of the container is oriented vertically, the second side of the container is arranged vertically above the first side of the container, and the dispenser abuts the first abutment surface, with the first conduit arranged for passage of the liquid phase from the container into the mixing chamber and the second conduit arranged for passage of the gas phase from the container into the mixing chamber upon actuation of the valve; and
in a second orientation the longitudinal axis of the container is oriented vertically, the the first side of the container is arranged vertically above the second side of the container, and the dispenser abuts the second abutment surface, with the first conduit arranged for passage of the gas phase from the container to the mixing chamber and the second conduit arranged for passage of the liquid phase from the container to the mixing chamber upon actuation of the valve.
