Patent ID: 7137536

Claim:
An inverted aerosol dispensing device, comprising: an aerosol container extending between a top portion and a bottom portion for containing an aerosol product and an aerosol propellant therein; an aerosol valve located at said bottom portion of said aerosol container; said aerosol valve having a valve stem for displacing said aerosol valve from a biased closed position to an open position upon a movement of said valve stem to discharge the aerosol product from the valve stem; an undercap having a sidewall extending between a top portion and a bottom portion; a mounting for rotatably securing said undercap to said aerosol container with said top portion of said undercap being adjacent to said bottom portion of said aerosol container; said bottom portion of said undercap terminating in a base surface for supporting said aerosol container on a supporting surface to store the aerosol dispensing device in an inverted position; an actuator located in said sidewall of said undercap and being movably mounted relative to said undercap; said undercap being rotatable into a first rotational position relative to said aerosol container for enabling said actuator to move said valve stem upon movement of said actuator for discharging the aerosol product from the valve stem in a generally downwardly direction; said undercap being rotatable into a second rotational position relative to said aerosol container for inhibiting said actuator from moving said valve stem; said aerosol container comprising a container neck terminating in an annular rim; said aerosol valve including a mounting cup secured to said annular rim of said aerosol container; said undercap being rotatably secured to said mounting cup of said aerosol valve; and a container locator defined by said container neck of said aerosol container for locating said undercap in said first rotational position relative to said aerosol container.
