Abstract

An aerosol sprayer may be connected to an aerosol container to form an aerosol delivery system. The aerosol sprayer includes a base secured to the container, a cap secured to the base, a pivoting trigger and a nozzle which is slidably movable relative to the trigger between an extended operable position and a retracted, locked position. The nozzle and trigger have interfitting locking structures to prevent actuation of the trigger when the nozzle is in the retracted locked position.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION(1) Field of the Invention

[0001] The instant invention relates to aerosol sprayer devices and more particularly to an aerosol spray actuator having a locking mechanism.(2) Description of Related Art

[0002] Aerosol spray devices typically include a pushbutton type spray device containing an orifice and a connection to a valve which is in turn connected to a container of product from which the aerosol product is dispensed. Actuation of the pushbutton releases a quantity of product from the aerosol container through the valve and pushbutton orifice.

[0003] More recently aerosol spray devices have been modified to look and function more like trigger sprayers and such devices may include a trigger attached to or in operable communication with a manifold which is in turn connected to the valve stem of an aerosol container. While trigger actuation is a recognized improvement for aerosol sprayers, accidental and inadvertent actuation of the trigger during both shipment...
