A control knob is connected to a cam mechanism which, upon rotation thereof, serves to move a linkage to operate actuator levers between an OFF position and an ON position relative to discharge nozzles of the containers. In the ON position, the actuator levers depress the discharge nozzles to cause simultaneous sprayed release of a sunless tanning product from the plurality of containers The tower is surrounded by a housing having vertically arranged nozzle openings aligned with the nozzles of the spray containers.

  • Publication number: 20060157499
    Abstract: An apparatus releases a sunless tanning product from one or more containers for uniform spray application to the skin of the user. In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus is structured as a vertical tower and a plurality of containers are held in spaced vertical alignment so that each container is positioned in operative alignment below an actuator lever. A control knob is operatively linked to the actuator levers, whereupon operation of the control knob serves to move the actuator levers to simultaneously depress discharge nozzles on each of the containers, thereby causing sprayed release of the sunless tanning product with the assistance of a propellant, such as aerosol. In the preferred embodiment, the control knob is connected to a cam mechanism which, upon rotation thereof, serves to move a linkage to operate the levers relative to the discharge nozzles of the containers between an off position and an on position.
