Abstract:
The actuator includes a shroud adapted to be situated on an aerosol container over the stem and an actuation member mounted on and moveable within the shroud to depress the stem by the application of an external force applied to the top surface of the actuation member. The actuation member includes a nozzle and a conduit for connecting the stem and the nozzle. A hood is normally positioned to block the actuation member from being moved to depress the stem. A locking member normally intersects the path of movement of the hood to lock the hood in its blocking position. The locking member has two sections both of which must be simultaneously moved to a position remote from the path of hood movement such that the hood may be moved from its blocking position, allowing the actuation member to be moved to depress the stem.

Claim (Index 7):
An aerosol actuator for use with a container of pressurized fluid of the type having a valve with a stem depressible to release contents of the container, the actuator comprising:\n an actuation member configured to move between a non-dispensing position in which the stem is not depressed and a dispensing position in which the stem is depressible by a user; a press-and-pivot safety mechanism to control movement of the actuation member, the press-and-pivot safety mechanism including:\n a hood pivotable between a blocking position in which the actuation member is blocked from being moved to the dispensing position and a non-blocking position in which the actuation member is free to be moved to the dispensing position; and \n a deflectable locking member to allow the hood to move from the blocking position to the non-blocking position, \n wherein, in use, to allow the actuation member to move into the dispensing position, the locking member is pressed until the hood is able to slide over the locking member as the hood pivots from the blocking position to the non-blocking position.
