Aerosol system having lockable cap

A dispensing system comprising:

• a container having an upper rim and an actuator for selectively dispensing contents of said container;
• a collar rotatably attached to said upper rim of said container;
• and
• a cap detachably locked in said collar and enclosing said actuator, said cap having at least one primary feature adapted to interlock with a complementary feature on said collar such that when said primary feature is interlocked with said complementary feature said cap is locked to said collar and when said cap is rotated said cap and collar rotate together without detaching from said container;
• wherein said cap comprises at least two teeth and said collar comprises at least two openings adapted to receive said at least two teeth;
• and
• wherein said at least two teeth are different.

A dispensing system comprising:

• a container having an upper rim and an actuator for selectively dispensing contents of said container;
• a collar rotatably attached to said upper rim of said container;
• and
• a cap detachably locked in said collar and enclosing said actuator, said cap having at least one primary feature adapted to interlock with a complementary feature on said collar such that when said primary feature is interlocked with said complementary feature said cap is locked to said collar and when said cap is rotated said cap and collar rotate together without detaching from said container;
• wherein said cap comprises at least two teeth and said collar comprises at least two openings adapted to receive said at least two teeth;
• and
• wherein said two teeth are opposite of one another and wherein said cap is deformable such that said cap may be squeezed in order to insert said teeth into said openings.

A cap assembly for enclosing an actuator of a dispensing container, said cap assembly comprising:

• a collar configured to rotatable attach to a mounting lip of said container,
• a cap detachably affixed to said collar and enclosing said actuator when said assembly is mounted on said container, said cap having at least one primary feature configured to engage a complementary feature on said collar such that when said primary feature is engaged with said complementary feature said cap is locked to said collar and when said cap is locked to said collar said cap assembly rotates as a whole about said container when one of said cap and collar is rotated;
• wherein said primary feature of said cap is a tooth;
• wherein said complementary feature of said collar is an opening configured to receive said tooth;
• and
• wherein said tooth projects outwardly.
