Patent ID: 8550306

Claim:
A spray product comprising: a container holding a pressurized composition to be sprayed; a dispenser cap comprising an axially moveable collar that surrounds an inner unit, the inner unit comprising a mounting ring at its bottom that is suitable for placement on a container, a cylindrical wall having a section that defines a radial outlet hole, said radial outlet hole being located towards the upper end of the inner unit, and a release trigger at the upper end of the inner unit, said collar being moveable between a raised position in which it covers the radial outlet hole and a lowered position in which it does not cover the radial outlet hole, the axially moveable collar comprising an internal structure that prevents the depression of the release trigger when the collar is in its raised position; a conduit for transferring the composition from the container to the radial outlet hole: and a means for generating a spray from the composition; wherein: the movement of the collar between its raised and lowered positions involves rotating it; the inner unit comprises an edge sloping around its cylindrical wall and the collar comprises a nub protruding from its inner surface to an extent sufficient for it to sit on the sloping edge, rotation of the collar around the inner unit causing the nub to rotate around the sloping edge and consequently cause the collar to rise or fall according to the direction of rotation; the nub moves within a slot defined between the edge upon which it sits and an upper edge sloping at the same gradient around the cylindrical wall, on the upper side of the nub; and the upper edge of the slot is defined by an element of the cylindrical wall having a lesser radius of curvature than the element of the cylindrical wall defining the lower edge.
