Patent ID: 7631785

Claim:
A trigger actuator for a container, comprising: a recess defined by one or more first walls that protrude downwardly and arc adapted to surround an actuating button of an overcap of the container, wherein the actuating button is hingedly attached to the overcap of the container and includes an outlet in a dispensing end thereof and a second wall that depends from the dispensing end, wherein the trigger actuator is separate from the actuating button, and wherein the one or more first walls of the trigger actuator include at least one protrusion that extends from an inner surface thereof to snap fit over an edge of the second wall, wherein the edge is opposite the dispensing end of the actuating button; an aperture disposed in the recess above the outlet in the actuating button; and a lever disposed on a side of the trigger actuator, wherein pressing the lever toward the container forces the first walls defining the recess downward to displace the actuating button.
