Abstract
A wall-mountable device for holding a cylindrical aerosol container of the type having a tilt-actuatable valve stem for dispensing its contents. The device is characterized by a wall-mountable bracket receiving and supporting the container in fixed position and a shroud member substantially enclosing the container and the bracket. The shroud member defines an opening receiving the valve stem and is pivotally attached to the bracket at a point spaced from the valve such that the valve stem is tilted by the shroud member when the shroud member is pivoted.
