Claim:
An aerosol system, comprising: an aerosol assembly for containing and dispensing material, the aerosol assembly defining a cap member and an actuator member; a cover member that engages the aerosol assembly to cover the actuator member; a plurality of dispensing tubes, where each dispensing tube is associated with a predetermined pattern; an accessory storage system to which the dispensing tubes may be detachably attached using the deliberate application of manual force, where the accessory storage system comprises an engaging portion for engaging the aerosol assembly and at least one retaining portion, and each of the dispensing tubes may be in a first configuration in which one of the dispensing tubes is secured relative to the actuator member of the aerosol assembly; a second configuration in which at least one of the dispensing tubes is detachably attached to the accessory storage system by a retaining portion to secure the dispensing tubes relative to the aerosol assembly, and a third configuration in which at least one of the dispensing tubes is integrally formed as a single part with the accessory storage system; whereby the dispensing tubes may be reconfigured from the third configuration to one of the second and third configurations by detaching the dispensing tube from the accessory storage system by deliberate application of manual force; when the cover member covers the actuator member and the dispensing tubes are in the second configuration, the cover member further covers the accessory storage system and the dispensing tubes; and the material is dispensed through a selected one of the dispensing tubes in its first configuration, where the material is dispensed in a predetermined pattern associated with the selected one of the dispensing tubes.
