Abstract: An aerosol spray cap 1 is discussed, which comprises two separate pieces, those of a base member 10 and a rotatable twist ring 20. The base member 10 is formed as a single cast piece for removably attaching to the top of an aerosol canister, and provides an actuator button which is integrated with the fluid passageway. This integrated fluid passageway and actuator button 11 interacts with the fluid out pipe of the aerosol canister, and so allows actuation of the aerosol. The rotatable twist ring, provides a means whereby the movement of the integrated fluid passageway and actuator button 11 is prohibited, thereby locking the operation of the aerosol.

The cap includes an atomizer nozzle (22) coupled to the discharge tube (18) and oriented approximately perpendicular to the long axis of the container. At the circumferential edge (28) of the container lid (13) there is formed at least one projection (32), which cooperates with a complementary recess on the inner circumferential surface of the atomizer cap (23) in order to achieve a rotationally stable fixation of the latter to the container lid (13), with the nozzle 22 located in accordance with the location of the end of pipe (21) within the container.

Abstract: The invention relates to a spray cap for aerosol containers comprising an integrally formed housing (1) comprising an actuating button (2) and an actuating lever (3), both flexibly connected to the housing (1). The actuating button (2) has a drive hook (18), which moves into interaction with a drive projection (19) disposed on the actuating lever (3) when the actuating button (2) is firstly moved radially and then axially. Due to the combined movements required for actuating the aerosol container, unauthorised use is to the greatest extent excluded. The actuating button (2) and actuating lever (3) are so designed that, via a recess (16) provided in the actuating button (2), the latter can be moved axially downwards without the drive hook (18) engaging with the drive projection (19) of the actuating lever.
