Abstract: This invention comprises an activating device for releasing fluid from a pressurized container and a nozzle device for directing the fluid therethrough to a desired location. The activating device comprises a lever which transmits an applied force to a flange which exerts a downward force to the top of a spout in a valve assembly used to release the contents of a pressurized container. When force is applied to the lever, the flange rotates about a fulcrum located at a higher elevation than the point at which the flange contacts the spout. This results in a trigger mechanism with a high degree of leverage. The nozzle device contains a first joint for rotating a first barrel of the nozzle 360.degree. around a first axis defined by the first barrel of the nozzle and a second joint for rotating a second barrel of the nozzle at least 180.degree. around an axis perpendicular to the first axis.
