Abstract:
A spray closure for a container for producing a mist spray, the spray closure comprising:(A) a spray plug for engaging the container, the spray plug including (1) a spray plug seal for sealingly engaging the container; (2) a spray plug post; (3) a spray plug inner wall spaced from, and surrounding, the spray plug post to define a product flow space therewith for communicating with product in the container; (4) a spray plug outer wall spaced from, and surrounding, the spray plug inner wall to define an air flow space therewith; and (B) a cap cooperating with the spray plug and adapted to move with respect to the spray plug from a closed position to an open position; the cap including: (1) a cap inner wall that (a) defines a mixing chamber on an interior thereof and (b) is adapted to isolate the product flow space from the air flow space when the cap is in the closed position, the cap inner wall further adapted to permit fluid communication between the product flow space and the air flow space when the cap is moved to the open position, thereby permitting the mixing of air and product to form a mist in the mixing chamber; and (2) a cap orifice in fluid communication with the mixing chamber for permitting flow of mist from the mixing chamber.
