Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011138186A1] An actuator (1) for a hand-held aerosol container fitted centrally at its top with a dispensing valve, said actuator comprising: (i) a cup-shaped over-cap (3) attachable to the container and comprising a top wall defining a gap through which a spray channel passes, said gap restricting lateral movement of the spray channel; (ii) a spray channel (4) in fluid connection with the valve; (iii) an actuator button (5) comprising a finger pad from which a keel depends; the keel dependent from the finger pad of the button (5) being able to press down onto the spray channel (4) and the spray channel (4) on to the valve after the first slide movement of the button (5), but not before; whereby the actuator button (5) has a distinct first slide movement that puts it into an orientation in which a second depression movement causes release of the contents of the associated dispenser and in that the force required for the first slide movement of the actuator button (5) is at least 5N.
