Dispensing devices, dispensing systems, and methods of use

Abstract

Dispensing devices for dispensing pressurized products from a container, dispensing systems including such dispensing devices, and methods of use. The dispensing device includes a housing configured to attach to a canister that contains a pressurized product. The housing defines an interior cavity and a window through a wall that surrounds the interior cavity. An actuator within the interior cavity has a passageway for delivering the pressurized product through the actuator and then through the window. The actuator is translatable between a first position in which a nozzle of the actuator is obstructed by the wall of the housing and a second position in which the nozzle is aligned with the window for dispensing the pressurized product through the window. After the actuator is translated to the second position, complementary features associated with the housing and actuator retain the actuator in a post-actuation position that is different than the first position.
