Patent ID: 7959040

Claim:
A dispensing device for dispensing a product comprising: a. a container containing the product under pressure, the container having a top, bottom and body portions, with a central longitudinal axis extending, between the bottom and top portions; b. a valve mechanism mounted at the top of the container, the valve mechanism being movable with respect to the container for pressurized discharge of the product out of the container; and c. a dispensing cap mounted on the top of the container, in which the dispensing cap carries: (i) a nozzle debouching outside the cap for spraying the product, the nozzle being connected to the valve mechanism by a conduit; and (ii) an actuating member having a horizontal arm and a vertical arm, in which the vertical arm and horizontal arm are rigidly connected to each other, in which the vertical arm extends in the axial direction of the container with its free end facing downward, in which the horizontal arm is hingedly suspended in the cap and engages the valve mechanism to actuate the valve mechanism upon pulling the vertical arm towards the container body portion, in which the body portion has a lower portion and an upper portion providing a one-hand grip, and in which the vertical arm is arranged to be engageable by at least one finger of a hand when gripping the one-hand grip, wherein the one-hand grip has a smaller cross-section with respect to the lower portion wherein the container is at its top provided with a stop that is rotatable with respect to said actuating member about said central longitudinal axis between a locked position in which the stop lies under the horizontal arm of the actuating member to prevent downward movement of the horizontal arm of the actuating member, and an unlocked position in which the stop lies horizontally displaced from the actuating member to allow downward movement of the horizontal arm of the actuating member.
