A valve device useful for obtaining a predetermined and immediate appreciable initial rate of flow of aerosol from an aerosol container and a subsequent predetermined and small continuous rate of flow. The valve device contains a standard valve, which is crimped on the aerosol container, and a unidirectional valve, located within the aerosol container and connected on one side to the standard valve, the connecting element providing a passage from the unidirectional valve to the standard valve, and on the other side to a conduit connected to a plunger tube for access to the contents of the container. Within the body of the standard valve is a movable closure element having a spring which holds the valve closed. The valve may be opened by depressing the spring with an actuator located outside the container. A closure member is provided for acting on the actuator. The closure element of the unidirectional valve is a movable diaphragm which is held closed by a second spring. During the filling of the container, the unidirectional valve is held open by the pressure applied by fluid flowing through the opened standard valve, the passage, the unidirectional valve, the conduit, the plunger tube and into the container. After the container is filled, the unidirectional valve is held closed by both the second spring and the fluid under pressure in the container. When the standard valve is opened, a second passage formed by the connection of the standard valve to the unidirectional valve and the latter to the conduit, allows for a continuous flow of fluid from the container around the closed unidirectional valve and through the standard valve to the atmosphere.

A valve device for an aerosol container, said device comprising: a) a first valve which is crimped on said aerosol container, said valve having a body, a chamber formed in said body and a movable closure element in said chamber, said closure element separating said chamber from the atmosphere when in a closed position, said first valve being held in a closed position by a force exerted on said movable closure element by a first spring located within said body of said first valve; b) an actuator of said closure element of said first valve, said actuator being outside said aerosol container, said first valve being openable by depression of said actuator and thereby of said movable closure element in a direction contrary to said force of said spring on said movable closure element; c) a closure member for acting on said actuator for selectively holding said first valve either open or closed; d) a second valve located within said aerosol container, said second valve being connected on one side to said chamber formed in said body of said first valve and on the opposite side to a conduit connected to a plunger tube for connecting said valve device to the interior of said aerosol container, said second valve having a movable diaphragm as closure element and said second valve being held closed by the force exerted on said diaphragm by a second spring and by fluid under pressure contained in said aerosol container; e) a first connecting means defining a first passage one end of which forms a connection to said chamber formed in said body of said first valve, the opposite end of said first passage being closed by said diaphragm of said second valve when said second valve is held closed; and, f) a second connecting means which cooperates with said first connecting means to define a second passage which passes around said diaphragm of said second valve, said second passage providing a connection between said chamber formed in said body of said first valve and said conduit. A method of using a valve according to claim 1, which comprises: a) filling said aerosol container through said first valve by opening said valve, by applying liquid under pressure to that inlet of said first valve so that said second valve is opened by the pressure applied and allows said liquid to flow through said first valve, said first passage of said first connecting means, through said second valve in the open position, said conduit and said plunger tube, to the interior of said aerosol container, b) closing said first valve allowing the pressure exerted by said liquid under pressure stored in said container to close said second valve and said second spring element to hold said second valve closed so that the flow of fluid through said first passage of said first connecting means is interrupted, c) opening said first valve and keeping said valve open initially to allow said liquid under pressure contained in the hollow spaces of said first connecting means and of said first valve to flow out to the atmosphere, and then allowing a continuous flow of the fluid contained in the container through said plunger tube, said conduit, around said second valve, through said second passage and through said first valve to atmosphere.
