Aerosol actuator

The aerosol actuator includes a shroud. An actuation member situated within the shroud has a stem bore pocket adapted to receive the valve stem of the aerosol container. In high speed production, entrance of the stem into the pocket as the shroud is mounted on the aerosol container is facilitated by providing the pocket with a plurality of inwardly extending compressible ribs and a tab extending from the shroud which stabilizes the actuation member within the shroud. The tab is pivoted out of the path of movement of the actuation member upon initial depression of the actuation member by the user. To prevent accidental depression of the actuation member by a top load, the shroud wall is extended above the plane of the surface of the actuation member.

Child resistant aerosol actuator

The actuator includes a shroud adapted to be situated on an aerosol container over the stem and an actuation member mounted on and moveable within the shroud to depress the stem by the application of an external force applied to the top surface of the actuation member. The actuation member includes a nozzle and a conduit for connecting the stem and the nozzle. A hood is normally positioned to block the actuation member from being moved to depress the stem. A locking member normally intersects the path of movement of the hood to lock the hood in its blocking position. The locking member has two sections both of which must be simultaneously moved to a position remote from the path of hood movement such that the hood may be moved from its blocking position, allowing the actuation member to be moved to depress the stem.

A broadcast spreader with a movable deflector is disclosed. The spreader distributes particulate material by a rotating plate which when operating, always impacts material on the deflector. The deflector and a mounting track prevent dispensing material impacting on a user of the spreader, and when the deflector is extended, also prevent dispensing material distributing to the right side of the spreader. In this way, lawns which abut a driveway or a flowerbed may have material distributed on them without also depositing material on the driveway or flowerbed. Further, the deflector is integral with a port closure panel which automatically reduces, in a proportional manner, the flow of particulate material as the deflector is extended.
