Abstract:
1. An article for holding an aerosol spray container containing an active ingredient under pressure and equipped with a push button valve activator spray nozzle which upon exertion of a downward force initiated from a remote locale by a user releases the active ingredient in a fixed direction stream or spray pattern onto an object, said article comprising: (a) a main body having a front wall for receiving a cylindrical-shaped aerosol spray container, an opposed back wall, and a support bracket; (b) a clip extending forwardly from the front wall of the main body, said clip having two resilient arms for receiving the aerosol spray container and holding it firmly to the main body; (c) a pole adaptor rotatably attached to the support bracket of the main body, said pole adaptor having a receptacle for receiving a terminus of an extension pole and further having an adjustable attachment means for mounting the pole adaptor to the support bracket of the main body at a desired angle dependent on the position of the object to be sprayed relative to the user; (d) a cord guide positioned on the back wall of the main body; (e) a spray lever having an elongated body with a first end, a second end and a mid-section actuator, said spray lever operably associated with the main body for exerting at least three pounds force by the mid-section actuator onto the push button valve activator of the aerosol spray container for each pound force exerted on the spray lever's second end to release the active ingredient from the aerosol spray container; and (f) a cord having a distal end and a proximal free end with the distal end secured to the second end of the spray lever for downwardly moving the spray lever from a rest position to a actuator force-imparting position and the proximal free end for grasping by a user of the article and further wherein the cord passes over the cord guide so that a portion of the cord leading to the proximal free end generally follows the pole from the cord guide to the user; whereby the main body of the article is pre-adjusted by the user to an angle best suited for spraying the desired object with a direct full force spray of the active ingredient when the proximal free end of the cord is manually pulled by the user from the remote locale to cause the mid-section actuator of the spray lever to contact the push button valve activator of the aerosol spray container with sufficient force to release the active ingredient.
