Claim:
A spray dispenser for an aerosol personal care composition, comprising: a housing having an upper end, a bottom end and a sidewall, wherein the housing defines an interior compartment for holding a replaceable aerosol canister and has a bottom opening at the bottom end dimensioned to receive the replaceable aerosol canister; a closure mounted to the bottom opening of the housing, wherein the closure is openable and closable, thereby permitting insertion, retention and removal of the replaceable aerosol canister within or from the housing; a spray actuator assembly mounted at the upper end of the housing and comprising: an outer shell comprising an elongated opening extending within a plane that is parallel to the plane of the closure when the closure is in a closed position, a spray nozzle, a manually depressible actuator button comprising an exposed upper surface extending through the outer shell and a lower surface comprising a protrusion, and an actuator locking member comprising: an exposed handle that is configured to allow a user to move the locking member pivotally within the elongated opening substantially confined to the plane of the elongated opening from locking to unlocking positions, a protrusion on the upper surface of the locking member, wherein, in the locking position, the protrusion on the locking member engages the protrusion of the actuator button, thereby preventing the actuator button from being pressed down, a flexible tab disposed on an upper portion of the upper end of the housing and comprising an arcuate rib extending upwardly; and a pair of arcuate grooves disposed on a lower edge of the locking member and configured such that when the locking member is in its locked position, the arcuate rib engages one of the pair of arcuate grooves, and is further configured such that when the locking member is in its unlocked position, the rib engages the other of the pair of arcuate grooves.
