Abstract:
1. A cooling device comprising: cooling means having a refrigerant dispenser comprising an aerosol container containing a refrigerant and a dispensing valve fitted to a fixing cup which crimps onto the aerosol container, said aerosol container being at least partly housed inside an outer jacket; a dispensing channel; a mounting arrangement which mounts and positions the dispensing channel such that the dispensing channel extends through the mounting arrangement, wherein the dispensing channel includes a first opening on one side of the mounting arrangement and a second opening on a second side of the mounting arrangement, and wherein the mounting arrangement positions the dispensing channel such that the first opening is coupled to the dispensing valve; a cover mounted above said dispensing channel and above the mounting arrangement; wherein the mounting arrangement and dispensing channel are arranged to move relative to the aerosol container and thereby move the dispensing valve between actuated and non-actuated positions, wherein in the actuated position the refrigerant passes through the dispensing valve and into the dispensing channel and the refrigerant exits the second opening of the dispensing channel and is directed toward the cover, and further wherein the dispensing valve is selectively movable between the actuated and non-actuated positions to selectively open and close the dispensing valve; wherein the mounting arrangement includes a platform through which the dispensing channel extends, and wherein said platform forms a barrier separating a first portion of said device from a second portion of said device, and wherein said first portion includes a chamber defined between said platform and said cover, and further wherein the container is positioned in said second portion, and wherein upon actuation of the dispensing valve the refrigerant passes through the dispensing channel and into said chamber, and wherein the platform maintains the chamber separated from the container; and wherein said cover includes an inside face that is impermeable to the refrigerant, and wherein at least part of the cover is made of a material having a thermal conductivity greater than or equal to 1 Wm
