Description

It is an object of this invention to provide a convenient means for releasing the contents of an aerosol can while reducing finger-fatigue and preventing the contents from adhering to the finger tip.

This invention consists of two components. The base 1 will be manually attached to the ring 3 of an aerosol can 4. The lever 2 will be attached to the base 1 at a hinge axis above and forward of the aerosol can nozzle 5. The lever 2 extends from the hinge axis and bends down along the side of the aerosol can.

A single hand can grasp the can and depress the lever 2 which will hinge down and push the nozzle 5 and thereby release the contents.

Claims

What is claimed is:

1. A mechanism for releasing the contents of an aerosol can comprising:

A base that fits firmly to the ring of an aerosol can; and

A lever attached to said base, at a hinge axis, that will push down on the aerosol can nozzle; and

Said lever is shaped to extend down along the side of the aerosol can enabling activation when the can is grasped by a single hand.
