Abstract
An aerosol dispensing device includes a rotating actuator, an upstanding wall partially surrounding the actuator, and a sliding nozzle closure. The actuator may include a spray nozzle and a downwardly extending projection, in fluid communication with the spray nozzle, to sealingly engage an upwardly projecting stem of an aerosol valve. The upstanding wall may include an upper opening, a lower opening below the upper opening, and a spray opening. The sliding nozzle closure may include an upper projection, fitting into the upper opening and the spray nozzle, to seal the spray nozzle when the actuator is in a non-dispensing position, and, a lower member, fitting into the lower opening, to facilitate the sliding movement of the nozzle closure.
Claims24
An aerosol dispensing device, comprising:
- an actuator, including:
- a spray nozzle, and
- a downwardly extending projection, in fluid communication with the spray nozzle, to sealingly engage an upwardly projecting stem of an aerosol valve;
- an upstanding wall, at least partially surrounding the actuator, including:
- an upper opening adjacent to the spray nozzle when the actuator is in a non-dispensing position,
- a lower opening below the upper opening, and a spray opening adjacent to the spray nozzle when the actuator is in a dispensing position;
- and
- a nozzle closure, including:
- an upper projection, fitting into the upper opening and the spray nozzle, to seal the spray nozzle when the actuator is in the non-dispensing position, and
- a lower member, fitting into the lower opening, in sliding contact with the upstanding wall and the upwardly projecting stem.
An aerosol dispenser, comprising:
- an aerosol container;
- a mounting cup, attached to the aerosol container, including:
- a beaded rim, and
- an upwardly projecting stem attached to an aerosol valve;
- an actuator, including:
- a spray nozzle;
- and
- a downwardly extending projection, in fluid communication with the spray nozzle, to sealingly engage the upwardly projecting stem;
- a mounting cap, including:
- a skirt to engage the beaded rim, and
- an upstanding wall, at least partially surrounding the actuator, including:
- an upper opening, and
- a lower opening below the upper opening;
- and
- a nozzle closure, including:
- an upper projection, fitting into the upper opening and the spray nozzle, to seal the spray nozzle when the actuator is in the non-dispensing position, and
- a lower member, fitting into the lower opening, in sliding contact with the upstanding wall and the upwardly projecting stem.
