Abstract (en)
It is provided a cover for a tilt valve (20) of an aerosol can (32) comprising a sidewall (12) for connecting the cover (10) with a base plate (18) of the tilt valve (20) and/or with a can body (30) of the aerosol can (32), a top wall (14) for covering the base plate (18), wherein the whole top wall (14) is mainly unmovable with respect to the sidewall (12), wherein the top wall (14) comprises a guiding slit (22) for receiving a valve stem (24) of the tilt valve (20), wherein the guiding slit (22) comprises a length along an actuation direction (46) for tilting the valve stem (24) between a closed position, where an outlet passage (26) of the tilt valve (20) is closed, and a opened position, where the outlet passage (26) of the tilt valve (20) is opened, with respect to the base plate (18), wherein the top wall (14) and/or the sidewall (12) comprise a three-dimensional forming by which a finger depression (34) for receiving a human finger, particularly a human thumb, is provided, wherein the finger depression (34) extends up to a starting area (33) of the guiding slit (22), where the valve stem (24) is located in closed position. This enables an operation of aerosol cans (32) with a low risk of soiling or damaging the tilt valve (20) in a simple and cost efficient manner.
