A handle assembly for a pressurized dispensing container consists of a handle 12 and a collar 11. The collar is fitted with legs 28, provided with bulbous portions 29 which clip resiliently into a groove 20 in the valve cup. The handle is provided with lugs 41 which engage with the collar. The handle is inserted into the collar and twisted to engage the lugs 41 with the collar to retain the handle. The lugs also press against legs 28 to prevent the collar becoming detached from the cam 13. A rachet surface 30 is provided around the top of the collar which is engaged by a tab on the handle as the handle is twisted to lock it into the collar. The rachet surface thus prevents the handle from being disengaged by being twisted in a direction opposite to that required for engaging the lugs.
A handle assembly for a pressurized dispensing container having a valve closing off an open end of the end of the container and including a valve cup with an inward-facing peripheral groove, the handle assembly comprises a collar for fitting over the valve cup of a container to which the handle assembly is fitted in use, and a handle, includes the collar at least one resilient leg having a bulbous portion for engaging the peripheral groove, interengaging means being provided on the handle and the collar for attaching the handle to the collar, said interengaging means including means for engaging at least one leg of the collar when assembled whereby to prevent disengagement of the leg from the groove.
