Abstract:
1. An actuator cap, comprising: a main wall that extends generally along an axial dimension thereof and has a generally circular cross section with a varying cross sectional size; multiple flexible actuator members integrally extending from the main wall transverse to the axial dimension, the actuator members including a central portion adapted to be attached to a valve stem, and each terminating at an outer peripheral surface wherein the outer peripheral surfaces are spaced from one another and extend laterally beyond a portion of the main wall but do not extend beyond a greatest lateral extent of the main wall; and an upright portion having a curved outer surface disposed adjacent at least one of the flexible actuator members, wherein the curved outer surface is adapted to engage with an internal surface of a housing to guide at least one of the flexible actuator members and prevent inadvertent actuation of the flexible actuator members.
