Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cap for an aerosol container of the type comprising a valve which is known per se and is operated by depressing it or swinging it.
  • the cap is characterized by the fact that it comprises in combination two lateral push-buttons mounted in recesses in the cap and having surfaces which engage cooperating surfaces on a valve-actuating member, said cooperating surfaces being shaped like a rooftop, and guide means in the cap for determining and limiting the movement of the push-buttons.
  • FIGURE 7 is a sectional view taken along the line VII-VII of FIGURE 6, showing the push-buttons pressed toward each other;
  • the cylindrical portion of the elbow-shaped member 15 is seated in the recess 14.
  • the member 15 comprises a tapering arm 18 which is mounted in the passage 14a.
  • This arm 18 carries at its outer end a substantially rectangular face-plate 19 which slides in a slot 20 in the housing 4 behind the opening 8.
  • a cylindrical member 15a has two plane surfaces 16a which are inclined slightly toward each other and are in contact, when the container is not spraying aerosol, with the projections 33 on the push-buttons 225i.
