Abstract: An activator for use with an aerosol spray can is presented having a two-part housing formed from a first side and a second side that when aligned and connected together retains a trigger that is pivotally attached to one of the first and second sides. Snap fittings or a can adjuster can be used to slidably engage with the spray can to securely hold the spray can and preventing axial movement relative to the housing. A nozzle elbow is movable contained within the housing having a distal end and a proximal end, where the proximal end accepts and operatively connects with a valve stem on the spray can. A spray head is releasably positioned in the distal end of the elbow nozzle.
