CHILD RESISTANT AEROSOL ACTUATOR

The actuator includes a shroud adapted to be situated on an aerosol container over the stem and an actuation member mounted on and moveable within the shroud to depress the stem by the application of an external force applied to the top surface of the actuation member. The actuation member includes a nozzle and a conduit for connecting the stem and the nozzle. A hood is normally positioned to block the actuation member from being moved to depress the stem. A locking member normally intersects the path of movement of the hood to lock the hood in its blocking position. The locking member has two sections both of which must be simultaneously moved to a position remote from the path of hood movement such that the hood may be moved from its blocking position, allowing the actuation member to be moved to depress the stem. 1. A child resistant aerosol actuator for use with a container of pressurized fluid of the type having a valve with a stem depressible to release the contents of the container , said actuator comprising a shroud adapted to be situated on the container over the stem , said shroud comprising first and second spaced opposing sides , an actual ion member having a surface and being mounted between said shroud sides for movement relative to said shroud between a first position wherein the stem is not depressed and a second position wherein the stein is depressed to release the contents of the container , said actuation member including a nozzle and a conduit connecting the stem and said nozzle , a manually moveable hood comprising first and second walls pivotally connected to said first and second sides of said shroud , respectively , said hood normally positioned to prevent said actuation member from being moved from said first position to said second position , and a locking member extending from said shroud normally preventing said hood from being moved from its normal position , said locking member being moveable to a position wherein said actuation member ...

Aerosol actuator

Aerosol actuator

The aerosol actuator includes a shroud. An actuation member situated within the shroud has a stem bore pocket adapted to receive the valve stem of the aerosol container. In high speed production, entrance of the stem into the pocket as the shroud is mounted on the aerosol container is facilitated by providing the pocket with a plurality of inwardly extending compressible ribs and a tab extending from the shroud which stabilizes the actuation member within the shroud. The tab is pivoted out of the path of movement of the actuation member upon initial depression of the actuation member by the user. To prevent accidental depression of the actuation member by a top load, the shroud wall is extended above the plane of the surface of the actuation member.

Aerosol actuator

Accionador de aerosol.

La presente invención se refiere a un accionador de aerosol que incluye una cubierta. Un miembro de accionamiento situado dentro de la cubierta tiene una cavidad del orificio del vástago adaptado para recibir al vástago de la válvula del contenedor de aerosol. En la producción a alta velocidad, la entrada del vástago en la cavidad, cuando la cubierta se monta en el contenedor de aerosol, se facilita dotando a la cavidad de una pluralidad de costillas deprimibles que se extienden hacia adentro y una lengüeta que se extiende desde la cubierta que estabiliza el miembro de accionamiento dentro de la cubierta. La lengüeta pivota fuera de la trayectoria de movimiento del elemento de accionamiento tras la presión inicial del elemento de accionamiento por parte del usuario. Para evitar la presión accidental del miembro de accionamiento por una carga superior, la pared de la cubierta se extiende por encima del plano de la superficie del miembro de accionamiento.
