Patent ID: 8701944

Claim:
A system for dispensing texture material onto a target surface in a desired pattern that substantially matches an existing pattern on the target surface, comprising: a container that stores texture material and propellant material; an outlet assembly supported by the container, where the outlet assembly comprises an actuator member having a stem portion and a plurality of fingers, an outlet member arranged within the plurality of fingers, where the outlet member is deformable and defines an outlet opening, and a roller member supported by the actuator member for movement relative to the actuator member such that movement of the roller member relative to the actuator member causes the roller member to act on the outlet member to alter a cross-sectional area of the outlet opening; and an aerosol valve assembly arranged to allow control of fluid flowing out of the container; whereby the outlet assembly is configured such that the cross-sectional area of the outlet opening corresponds to the desired pattern; the aerosol valve assembly is operated to allow the propellant material to force the texture material out of the container through the outlet opening defined by the outlet assembly; and the texture material forced out of the container is deposited on the target surface in the desired pattern.
