Abstract
An aerosol capacity indicator that utilizes a novel and inexpensive display that can be installed in the actuator of an aerosol can to display the amount of product remaining therein. The novel accumulative pressure indicator display is imbedded in the actuator which is attached to the valve of an aerosol can and activated by pressure applied directly by the user in the form of finger contact with the actuator. The total amount of pressure applied to the indicator and transferred to the aerosol valve by means of direct user contact both intermittent and continuous renders a relevant reading equivalent to the amount of product released from the aerosol can without any contact with the actual dispensed material. Another embodiment of the invention utilizes the pressure of the actual aerosol product as it passes through the actuator making intermittent and continuous contact with the novel accumulative pressure indicator display imbedded in the flow path of the aerosol product in the actuator rendering an actual reading equivalent to the amount of product released from the aerosol can.
