Abstract

An improved aerosol assembly is disclosed for filling an aerosol container having an aerosol valve and a mounting cup turret with a turret aperture for receiving a valve stem. The aerosol container receives an aerosol product for discharge through the valve stem upon opening of the aerosol valve. The invention comprises a valve button having a terminal orifice established for communication with the valve stem and for opening the aerosol valve depression of the valve button. The valve button has a valve button recess for at least partially receiving a portion of the mounting cup turret when the valve button is in a depressed position. A filling aperture extends from an outer surface of the valve button to the valve button recess. A resilient sealing member is integrally disposed in the valve button recess for resiliently sealing with the mounting cup turret concurrently with the opening of the aerosol valve upon depression of the valve button enabling pressurization of the aerosol container through the filling aperture. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the resilient sealing member is disposed integrally with and depending inwardly from the valve button.
