Abstract: A handle attachment configured to provide a secure handle for a spray can and enable the operation of a dispenser valve of the spray can. The attachment includes a housing that defines a grip, a cap coupled to the housing, and an actuation device pivotally mounted to the housing. The cap has a C-shaped rim surrounding an opening that is sized to accommodate a valve mounting cup of the spray can. The rim has a lower portion in which a flange and slots are defined. The slots enable the lower portion of the rim to deflect radially outward relative to the remainder of the rim above the slots. The rigidity of the rim above its lower portion is increased with a ring that compresses the rim above the lower portion and/or a shoulder that defines an increased wall thickness of the cap above the lower portion.

Abstract: A handle attachment for mounting to a standardized valve mounting cup of a spray can and operating a push-type dispenser valve. The handle attachment includes a housing that defines a grip and a cap configured to couple with an outer diameter of the valve mounting cup. An actuation device is pivotally mounted to the housing and includes a trigger portion disposed adjacent the grip and a finger portion disposed within the cap for actuating the push-type dispenser valve. A C-shaped rim is disposed on the cap and defines a central opening sized to accommodate the valve mounting cup, a base located on the axis of symmetry of the rim, a circumferential gap located on the axis of symmetry diametrically opposite the base and separating two ends of the rim, and at least one slot disposed between the base and a diametrical chord perpendicular to the axis of symmetry.
