Abstract:
1. A selectable spray system, comprising: a spray container; a fluid and propellant contained within said spray container; a dispersion nozzle; a conduit operatively coupling said fluid and propellant to said dispersion nozzle; a valve variably restricting the flow of said fluid and propellant from within said spray container to said dispersion nozzle, said valve operatively controlled through displacement of said conduit relative to said spray container; a can coupling ring having an outer perimeter and an interior surface defining an interior space, said can coupling ring coupling rigidly to said spray container; an index fixedly engaging said conduit and being adjustable in a distance from said spray container to thereby control said valve to adjust said flow, said index floating relative to said spray container sufficiently to accommodate minor misalignment therewith and permit said conduit to couple with said spray container independent of said minor misalignment, said index circumscribed by said can coupling ring; at least one index pin protruding radially from said index; a selector guide ring affixed to said can coupling ring; and at least one gap defined between said selector guide ring and said can coupling ring capturing said pin and thereby limiting changes in distance between said index and said can coupling ring, said gap extending through an arc about said conduit and having at least two distinct distances from said spray container along said arc.
