Abstract

An actuator comprising an actuator skirt defining a recess sized to receive a portion of a pedestal of a mounting cap. The actuator having a passageway providing communicating between a valve stem and an insert received within an insert cavity of the actuator. The insert has a discharge orifice and a locking member while the insert cavity has a mating locking member. The mating locking members engage with one another to retain the insert within the insert cavity and allow adjustment of a spray discharge pattern of the insert. The insert cavity has a cavity hub which engages with a leading end of the insert, in an over lapped manner, to form a fluid tight seal therewith and minimize leakage therebetween. An angle rib is attached to a lower surface of the actuator body and abuts against the pedestal, prior to full depression of the actuator, to tilt the actuator slightly upward so that the discharge product does not impinge against the aerosol container.
