  • Patent number: 11560270
    Abstract: An actuator for a spray can. The actuator includes a housing for attachment to an aerosol can covering a stem valve. A finger operating button structure is engaged with the housing for engaging the stem valve. A rotary two-way diverter valve is supported within the housing and rotatably engaged with the finger operating button structure. In a spray position/straw down, the two-way diverter valve directs spray through a first direct spray nozzle. In a second straw position/straw up, to make use of an adjustable straw, the diverter valve is rotated to engage a straw spray passage of the diverter valve in fluid communication with an adjustable rotary spray tip and engaged straw. By rotating the adjustable rotary spray tip to an aligned position, the tip substantially blocks the straw spray passage to provide a drip mode, where drops of fluid exit the straw. A flexible tip may optionally be provided on the straw to enable bending and retention of the flexible tip to a desired position.
