Abstract

Dispensing apparatus comprising a housing for receiving in use a dispensing container containing a product, the housing comprising an outlet through which said product, in use, is dispensed and at least one inlet for entry of air into an interior of the housing, wherein the dispensing apparatus further comprises a trigger mechanism for controlling actuation of a dispensing container received in the housing, the trigger mechanism comprising: (iv) a pivot able vane rotatable from a first position to a second position when suction is applied to the outlet of the dispensing apparatus to establish a flow of air from the at least one air inlet to the outlet; (v) a rotatable linkage biased to rotate from a first position in which a first portion of the rotatable linkage is engaged with the pivotable vane to a second position in which the rotatable linkage is disengaged from the pivotable vane; and (vi) a slidable member biased to move from a first position in which the slidable member is retained by a second portion of the rotatable linkage to a second position to actuate a dispensing container received in the housing; wherein on movement of the pivotable vane from its first position to its second position the rotatable linkage rotates from its first position to its second position and the slidable member moves from its first position to its second position to operate a dispensing container received in the housing so as to dispense a product.
