  • Publication number: 20220227569
    Abstract: A spray canister dispenser for mounting to a spray canister to allow for more convenient actuation of a nozzle. The spray canister dispenser includes a housing that removably mounts to an upper end of a spray canister. A first channel is disposed on an interior sidewall of the housing and can align with a lip of the spray canister to selectively couple thereto. An actuator assembly having a trigger handle and an actuator extends from a moveable plate secured to the housing and can transition between a dispensing and resting configuration. In the dispensing configuration, the actuator is forced against a spray canister nozzle to dispense substance therefrom. In use, the trigger handle is positioned on a forward side of the spray canister, wherein the housing is on a rearward side of the canister. An aperture is disposed within the trigger handle to allow the substance to be dispensed therethrough.

  • Patent number: 4258837
    Abstract: The circuit includes a switch array for setting two conditions, one for defining the length of the vend period and the other for defining the coinage necessary to initiate the vend period. A binary counter is coupled by the switch array to a decoder circuit, and the binary counter is first counted incrementally in response to coinage insertion until the correct coinage has been received at which time the counter is enabled to continue counting through a timing cycle defining the vend period. At the end of the vend period the circuit is reset for future usage.
