Claim:
A self-orienting aerosol apparatus, comprised of: an aerosol can having a valve stem, a valve, and a rolling axis extending along the length thereof, the valve being effective to discharge substantially all of the contents of the aerosol can; a release actuator disposed on the apparatus adjacent to the valve stem of the aerosol can, the actuator having a trigger and a discharge nozzle, such that when the trigger is activated the contents of the aerosol can are dispensed through the discharge nozzle; and a skirt joined to the aerosol can, the skirt having a generally arcuate rim extending generally outward beyond the circumference of the aerosol can, wherein the generally arcuate rim also includes a flattened side such that when the aerosol can is placed horizontally on a generally flat surface, the generally arcuate rim urges the aerosol can onto the flattened side of the generally arcuate rim which provides a predetermined generally stable configuration, with the discharge nozzle oriented in a generally upright direction.
