Abstract

Disclosed is an aerosol actuator button for delivering a product such as an atomized air freshener liquid from a pressurized aerosol container wherein the spray pattern produced is tilted away from the central long axis of the actuator button and container. Tilting of the spray pattern is accomplished by placing the actuator button orifice at the bottom of an asymmetrical conical depression which is open to the surrounding atmosphere. More preferably, the orifice itself is asymmetrical with the shorter portion of the orifice being situated relative to the conical depression such that tilting of the spray is accentuated. This configuration causes the atomized spray to be tilted away from the central long axis in spite of the fact that the orifice is concentric with the central long axis of the actuator button. Also disclosed are dies for making such actuator buttons.
