Abstract

A dispensing device for continuous aerosol dispensing. The device includes a skirt having a lower edge adapted for attachment to an aerosol container, an actuator button hinged to the skirt and engageable with the valve stem, and a discharge orifice in the button in fluid communication with the valve stem. The skirt extends upwardly to form a wall around the actuator button and to recess the button. Such wall defines a gap for finger access to the button. A removable tab substantially covers the gap, such tab being connected by connectors both to the skirt and the button. The connectors to the button are frangible while the connector or connectors to the skirt may be frangible or may be used as hinges for folding the tab away from the button. The device may be actuated after removal of the tab. Preferred embodiments include a sharp protruding member centrally located on the button to improve the child-safe and tamper-proof characteristics of the device.
