Mushroom-shaped actuator has depending latch of sufficient flexibility so that the actuator may be pressed to cause the latch to engage the edge of the aerosol valve mounting cup lip and hold the valve 'on'. Conversely, by finger pressure on the opposite side of the actuator, the latch may be disengaged from the edge permitting the valve to return to the non-dispensing condition.

Continuous spray device for aerosol valves

Actuator button is provided with a vane plate for deflecting the product coming into swirl chamber within the actuator button insert. This eliminates the need for a central post and molded swirl chamber formed on the post or insert as required by the prior art.

Actuator button having swirl-inducing vane plate

Aerosol valve is provided with a mixer-homogenizer plate disposed in the bottom of the valve cup. Vapor tap passing vapor into a central chamber between the valve inlet and the homogenizer plate creates a swirl in that chamber and subsequent passage of the mixture through arcuate slots effects high shear to enhance the mixing and promote homogenization in preparation for the ultimate atominzation by the actuator.
