Abstract:
A timed spray dispenser for an aerosol spray can that includes a finger actuated spray valve comprising:a) a structural housing defined by a base and a body having a radial cavity integrally formed therein of a size to retain the aerosol spray can,b) a lever arm pivotally disposed within the body having a first end and a second end with a pivot point at an essentially middle position, the first end enclosing the valve of the spray can, thereby holding the can vertically in place within the radial cavity,c) an eccentric cam having at least one raised lobe in communication with the second end of the lever arm for raising the arm above the pivot point while lowering the first end to actuate the spray valve.d) a motor in communication with the eccentric cam for mechanical rotation of the cam to actuate the spray valve when a raised lobe engages the lever arm,e) timing means within the housing body in electrical communication with the motor to start and stop the motor operation at predetermined time intervals for repetitive spray, andf) spray can height adjusting means within the housing to accommodate various heights of spray cans.
