Abstract: The invention relates to an actuator for a dispenser device for spraying contents of a receptacle that is pressurized or of a receptacle that has a pump, the actuator comprising a channel connectable to a receptacle outlet on one side of the actuator for receiving the pressurized contents of the receptacle, said channel having an orifice for spraying the contents on another side of the actuator, wherein an inlet connects the channel with a volume chamber, wherein the orifice has a valve for opening and closing the orifice, the valve biased by biasing means in the closed position, wherein the inlet has inlet reduction means for reducing the size of the inlet to the volume chamber. The invention is characterized in that the inlet reduction means comprises a flexible element.

Abstract: The invention relates to an actuator (1) for a dispenser device for spraying contents of a receptacle that is pressurized or of a receptacle that has a pump, the actuator (1) comprising a channel connectable to a receptacle outlet (19) on one side of the actuator (1) for receiving the pressurized contents of the receptacle, said channel having an orifice (11) for spraying the contents on another side of the actuator (1), wherein the channel comprises a volume chamber, said orifice forming an outlet of the volume chamber (71), wherein the orifice (11) has a valve for opening and closing the orifice (11), the valve biased by at least biasing means in the closed position, and further comprising actuation means arranged to allow a flow of content from the receptacle into the channel and volume chamber (71). The invention is characterized in that the actuation means is coupled with the biasing means for attenuating the bias on the valve biasing the valve in the closed position, if the actuation means is actuated.
