Abstract:
Valve for dispensing pressurized fluids, foams, gels, with a valve body that can be fixed in a fluid-tight manner at the edge of a lid aperture within a lid for a container opening, a delivery tube that is mounted in the valve body so as to be axially displaceable and movable out of a closed position against the action of an elastic element, in particular a coiled compression spring, and a sealing ring made of rubber or similar flexible sealing material and disposed between the edge of the lid aperture and the valve body so as to closely enclose the delivery tube in such a way that when the delivery tube or valve is in the closed position, the sealing ring blocks in a fluid-tight manner a discharge channel formed within the delivery tube, wherein the delivery tube comprises an annular flange with an annular projection extending towards the sealing ring to produce a fluid seal between sealing ring and discharge channel in the delivery tube, and wherein the fluid connection to the discharge channel of the delivery tube is provided by a passageway having an outer edge formed in the delivery tube and an opening into the discharge channel at the end of the latter that is situated within the container, the improvement wherein said outer edge of the passageway is rounded to form a blunt edge.
