Abstract:
A valve assembly (100, 500) for a pressurised or pressurisable container of an aerosol spray device is disclosed, wherein a valve stem (120) of the valve assembly (100, 500) is moveable between: a closed position in which a first sealing means (144) is biased against a second sealing means (148, 548) by a biasing means (146) such that a housing inlet (112) is not in fluid communication with an at least one valve stem inlet (178, 184); and an open position in which the first sealing means (144) is displaced from the second sealing means (148, 548) by a proximal end (174) of the valve stem (120) such that the housing inlet (112) is in fluid communication with the at least one valve stem inlet (178, 184), wherein, in the open position, a flow path is created from the housing inlet (112), around the outside of the first sealing means (144), and to the at least one valve stem inlet (178, 184).
