Abstract
A hand-held pressurized product dispenser that includes a container with a hand-engageable body portion, a valve mechanism at the top of the container that is movable with respect to the container to cause pressurized discharge of the product, and a valve actuation lever that is connected to the valve mechanism and extends along the container body such that a larger displacement of the end of the lever causes a controlled, relatively smaller displacement of the valve mechanism, permitting adjustable “throttled” delivery of the product. Also disclosed are: a product delivery member that is attached to the top of container and has a product holding structure that is positioned with respect to the valve mechanism to receive product and to hold the product in position for application; cam members are oriented to cause the valve actuating lever to move downward as it is moved toward the container body: and a movable stop member that is carried on the container and faces the hand-engageable portion so as to limit travel of the hand-engageable portion toward the container.
