Abstract: A childproof safety adaptor for an aerosol dispenser comprising an adaptor having at least one pair of resilient spaced finger guides formed thereon, each finger guide includes a locking ledge arranged to operatively engage the button actuator to prevent actuation of the dispenser when in the "locked" position. The spaced separation of the finger guides is such that a finger inserted therebetween moves the finger guides outwardly relative to each other, moving the locking ledges out of operative engagement with the button actuator thereby permitting vertical movement of the button actuator for actuation and wherein upon removal of the finger from between the finger guides, the locking ledges automatically return to the "locked" position.
