Abstract:
1. For use in connection with an aerosol spray can having a push-button nozzle extending upward from a top surface of the can, an ergonomic adapter comprising: a collar that fits around a body of the aerosol spray can such that a front portion of the collar is facing in front of the can and in the direction in which contents of the can are expelled from the push-button nozzle on the top of the spray can; an arcuate finger strip made of a resilient, flexible material that is molded to receive an index finger of the user and that extends from a rear side of the collar upward and over the push-button nozzle on the spray can when the adapter is fitted onto the body of the spray can, wherein the flexible arcuate finger strip bends as the user presses downward on the finger strip with the index finger and a bottom surface of the finger strip engages the push-button nozzle when the user presses downward on the finger strip, thereby causing the push-button nozzle to be actuated to expel contents from the can; comprising a stop for engaging the push-button nozzle on the spray can when the adapter is fitted onto the body of the spray can, the stop extending downward from the bottom surface of the arcuate finger strip and providing a seating location for the push-button nozzle against the bottom surface of the finger strip.
