Abstract
An aerosol actuator has a main body member, a nozzle member defining an outlet opening, and a selector member. The outlet opening defines a fluid flow direction. The selector member is moved to obtain different fluid spray patterns. The selector member is distal to the nozzle member and the fluid flow direction.
Claims16
An aerosol actuator, comprising:
- a main body;
- an outlet member having an outlet opening;
- and
- an actuator member;
- wherein
- the outlet opening defines a fluid flow direction;
- the actuator member is moved to obtain different fluid spray patterns;
- and
- the actuator member is distal to the outlet opening and the fluid flow direction, wherein deformation of the outlet member alters the cross-section of the outlet opening to obtain the different fluid spray patterns, and further comprising texture material that flows through the outlet opening in the fluid flow direction for deposition in a texture pattern.

A dispenser for dispensing liquid texture material, comprising:
- actuator means defining an outlet opening at a front portion of the actuator means;
- selecting means located at a rear portion of the actuator mean, where movement of the selecting means relative to the actuator means causes deformation of at least a first deformable portion of the actuator means that alters a cross-sectional area of the outlet opening to thereby alter fluid spray patterns of the texture material that flows though the outlet opening.
An aerosol actuator, comprising:
- a main body;
- an outlet member having an outlet opening;
- and
- an actuator member;
- wherein
- the outlet opening defines a fluid flow direction;
- the actuator member is moved to obtain different fluid spray patterns;
- the actuator member is distal to the outlet opening and the fluid flow direction;
- and
- movement of the main body member relative to an aerosol system causes fluid to flow through the outlet opening.
