Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2228319A1] The present invention relates to an aerosol cap (1) comprising a base portion (2) and an aerosol actuation portion (10) for interfacing with an aerosol can (4), in particular the fluid exit tubing (5) from the aerosol can (4), wherein the aerosol actuation portion (10) is rotationally held in the aerosol cap (1). The aerosol cap (1) further comprises a slidcable or rotatable locking mechanism (20) having both a locked orientation and an unlocked orientation. The locking mechanism (20) comprises one or more locking extensions (21) which, when the locking mechanism (20) is in the locked orientation, align with one or more blocking surfaces (1) of the aerosol cap (1) to stop rotation of the aerosol actuation portion (10). Additionally, when the locking mechanism (20) is in the unlocked orientation, the one or more locking extensions do not align with the one or more blocking surfaces (11) of the aerosol cap (1) or align with gaps formed in the one or more blocking surfaces (11) of the aerosol cap (1), thus allowing rotation of the actuation portion (10).
