Abstract

A mechanism to provide a convenient means for releasing the contents of an aerosol can while reducing finger-fatigue and preventing the contents from adhering to the finger tip. This invention is comprised of a base that is easily mounted to the ring of an aerosol can with a lever that is hinged from the base and extends down along the side of the aerosol can. A single hand can grasp the can and depress the lever which will hinge down and push the nozzle and thereby release the contents.

Description

  • It is an object of this invention to provide a convenient means for releasing the contents of an aerosol can while reducing finger-fatigue and preventing the contents from adhering to the finger tip.
  • This invention consists of two components. The base 1 will be manually attached to the ring 3 of an aerosol can 4. The lever 2 will be attached to the base 1 at a hinge axis above and forward of the aerosol can nozzle 5. The lever 2 extends from the hinge axis and bends down along the side of the aerosol can.
  • A single hand can grasp the can and depress the lever 2 which will hinge down and push the nozzle 5 and thereby release the contents.

Claims (1)

1. A mechanism for releasing the contents of an aerosol can comprising:
A base that fits firmly to the ring of an aerosol can; and
A lever attached to said base, at a hinge axis, that will push down on the aerosol can nozzle; and
Said lever is shaped to extend down along the side of the aerosol can enabling activation when the can is grasped by a single hand.
