  • Publication number: 20110079617
    Abstract: The present invention provides an actuation device for a spray can of the type comprising a curl portion at the top of the spray can and a nozzle through which a pressurized fluid is dispensed through a top portion thereof. The actuation device includes a lever. The lever has an elongated slot through a portion thereof for receiving a portion of the nozzle. The lever also has a handle at one end and an engaging surface at the other end. The engaging surface engages the curl of the spray can and securely holds the actuation device on the spray can.
