Abstract

A spray nozzle actuator has a fitment for placement on the ring fitting of a spray can, an hinge or resilient portion, a nozzle pressing portion, and an handle portion extending forwardly of, and along the can. The handle is shaped to avoid obstruction of the spray nozzle, such as by having a large aperture through which a cone of spray may flow with little or no impingement. Using one actuator an operator can hold the spray can in the palm of one hand and reach forward with his or her fingers to grasp the handle. A generally rearward pull on the handle causes the spray can nozzle to move, releasing the spray. In another actuator an operator can reach forward with his or her fingers to grasp the can, and can squeeze the handle toward the can with the palm or a substantial portion of the thumb, using the major muscles of the hand.
