Abstract
The invention comprises an aerosol container actuator employing an outer box-like housing, mounted on a door or the like, having an inner space divided by an internal horizontal wall have a wide semicircular notch into which an aerosol container neck fits. The space left below the horizontal wall is used to house the aerosol body, with the space above the horizontal wall containing both the aerosol nozzle and its actuator. The actuator has an upper end positioned to engage the frame of the door upon opening of the door to move the actuator to cause it to depress a nozzle body to effect a discharge spray from the aerosol container. The housing comprises a back half-body portion and a front half-body portion, which portions are latched together, but are separable by a key.
