  • Patent number: 6149077
    Abstract: The apparatus (1) for dispensing a sprayable product from an aerosol container includes a tube section (5) axially slidably mounted in a spray head (5). The spray head (3) has a feed passage (15), a connecting passage (14) and two nozzles (10,11 ) provided one above the other in the operating direction of the spray head (3), preferably oriented at an angle of 12.degree. to each other. By depressing the spray head the tube section (3) is moved downward in order to open a valve (7) in the aerosol container (2), whereby product can travel from the aerosol container (2) into the spray head (3) and from there into only the lower nozzle (1). By subsequently depressing the spray head (3) further downward against the force of a spring (6) the connecting passage (14) is moved upward relative to the spray head (3) in order to connect both nozzles (10, 11) with the feed passage (15). In that way either a single spray stream or two overlapping spray streams can be produced according to choice.
