ABSTRACT:
A metering valve for use in a pressurized dispensing container has a valve member co-axially slidable within an annular metering chamber defined between the valve member and a substantially cylindrical chamber body. The chamber volume is between 50 and 100 micro liters. The metering valve has an outer seal operable between the valve member and an outer end portion of the chamber body to seal an outlet duct of the valve member when the valve member is in an inoperative position. The valve member is slidable to an operative position in which the contents of the metering chamber are dischargeable in use via the outlet duct. The outer end portion of the chamber body comprises a first inwardly stepped shoulder, a lip having an inner surface which slopes outwardly away from the peripheral edge of the outer seal, and a second inwardly stepped-shoulder. An annular seal support associated with the outer seal has a periphery which is supported by the second shoulder. Axial compression of the outer seal causes it to deform into sealing contact with the shoulder and the inner surface of the lip, the resulting seal having radial and transverse elements.
