Abstract: A remote dispenser is provided for use in a pressurized fluid-dispensing assembly including a base unit, which may be an aerosol container having a fluid release device to which the remote dispenser is connected by a supply tube inserted into a discharge outlet of the base unit. A resilient, wire clip is secured to the supply tube, resiliently engages a retainer seat on the base unit and holds the release device in its open, fluid discharging position. Inadvertent disengagement of the supply tube from the base unit also disengages the wire clip, to allow the release device to automatically return to its normal, closed position. The clip exerts positive gripping strength and has a stop to hold it against pivoting. These factors serve to reduce the likelihood of inadvertent disengagement of the clip by pulls on the supply tube.

Abstract: A pressurized fluid remote-dispensing assembly comprises a base unit which may be an aerosol container having a supply valve, an automatically disengageable locking rod or wedge for maintaining the aerosol container supply valve in an open, fluid dispensing valve position, a supply tube inserted into the aerosol outlet nozzle so as to allow for pressurized transfer of fluid through the tube to a remote dispenser, the locking rod or wedge being mated with the supply tube so that disengagement of the latter also disengages the locking rod or wedge to allow the supply valve to return to its normal, closed position. The remote dispenser may be equipped with a scrubber/applicator and stop means to prevent excessive upward pressure on the nozzle assembly of the remote dispenser and the supply tube may be encased in a protective sheathing.
