Abstract
An actuator assembly for a dispensing device including a cap for engagement with a container neck, the cap having a series of arcuate protuberances therein, an operable dispensing button with a discharge orifice, the button having a series of tabs thereon, a cover piece enclosing the button which exposes a portion of the button for finger engagement, and a guide slot in the cover piece to prevent relative movement between the button and the cover piece. The arcuate protuberances and the tabs cooperate to prevent fluids from being dispensed from the dispensing container until the protuberances and tabs are properly aligned.
