Abstract
A child resistant sprayer with an overcap that rotates from a first position where the actuator cannot be engaged by pressing down the overcap to a second position where the overcap is capable of being pressed down into engagement with the actuator to dispense a fluid from a container.
Claims2
A child resistant sprayer, comprising:
- a spring-biased overcap;
- a spring-biased actuator operatively associated with a dip tube extending into a container, the actuator disposed beneath and substantially surrounded by the overcap;
- a closure configured to attach to the container, the closure having an inner wall with one or more slots formed therein;
- one or more protrusions disposed on the overcap, the one or more protrusions configured to slide within the one or more slots;
- wherein rotation of the overcap from a first position to a second position causes the one or more protrusions to move from the first position where the one or more protrusions is captured in a horizontal slot preventing the overcap from engaging with the actuator to a second position where the one or more protrusions align with a vertical slot in the inner wall of the closure such that the spring-biased overcap can be pressed into engagement with the actuator to dispense a fluid from the container.
