Abstract
A dispenser actuator assembly () for actuating a dispenser () is disclosed. The dispenser () is in the form of a glass ampoule assembly () having a rupturable glass ampoule () containing a flowable material (M). The glass ampoule () is contained within an outer container () wherein the outer container () has a first open end () and a second closed end (). The glass ampoule assembly () has an applicator () positioned in the first open end (). The dispenser actuator assembly () has a base member () configured to mount on the outer container (). The dispenser actuator assembly () also has an actuator assembly () operably connected to the base member () wherein the actuator assembly () has a first actuator arm () and a second actuator arm () each pivotally connected to the base member (). The first actuator arm () and the second actuator arm () extend from the base member () in generally opposed relation defining a first position, or neutral position. The first actuator arm () has a first protrusion () depending therefrom and the second actuator arm () has a second protrusion () depending therefrom. The first actuator arm () and the second actuator arm () are pivotable from the first position towards one another to a second position, or actuating position, that is configured such that the first protrusion () engages the outer container () and the second protrusion () engages the outer container () to crush the glass ampoule () wherein the flowable material (M) is configured to be dispensed from the glass ampoule assembly ().
