Aerosol actuators
An aerosol actuator which may be connected to a container to form an aerosol delivery systems or package wherein the aerosol includes two parts: a base and a trigger, the trigger including an integrated cap for the base, trigger, spring or living hinge, manifold and orifice.
1. An aerosol actuator comprising:
a base including at least one female snap fitment and at least one female trigger snap fitment; and
an integrally formed trigger including
a cap portion including at least one male snap attachment extending from the cap portion and fit into said at least one female snap fitment to secure the cap portion to the base,
a trigger portion extending from the cap portion and including at least one male trigger latch extending downward from the trigger and snap-fit into said at least one female trigger snap fitment on the base, and
a spring integrated with the trigger and in communication with the trigger portion.
2. The aerosol actuator of claim 1 further comprising a manifold integrated with the trigger portion.
3. The aerosol actuator of claim 1 wherein the trigger further comprises an orifice.
4. The aerosol actuator of claim 1 wherein the trigger further comprises a cup.
5. The aerosol actuator of claim 1 wherein the base further comprises at least one valve guide sloping from an opening at a bottom of the base to a narrow hole.
6. The aerosol actuator of claim 2 wherein the trigger further comprises a cup.
7. The aerosol actuator of claim 2 wherein the base further comprises at least one valve guide sloping from an opening at a bottom of the base to a narrow hole.
8. The aerosol actuator of claim 4 wherein the base further comprises at least one valve guide sloping from an opening at a bottom of the base to a narrow hole.
9. The aerosol actuator of claim 5 wherein the trigger further comprises a cup.
10. An aerosol actuator comprising:
a base including at least one female snap fitment and at least one female trigger snap fitment on an upper portion thereof; and
an integrally formed trigger, the trigger including
a cap portion,
at least one male snap attachment extending downwardly from the cap portion and snap-fit to said at least one female snap fitment on the base,
a trigger portion extending downwardly from the cap portion and forward of the male snap attachment,
at least one trigger latch extending downward from the trigger and snap-fit to said at least one trigger snap fitment on the base;
a spring integrated with the trigger and in communication with the trigger portion, the spring being disposed rear of both the male snap attachment and the male trigger latch and the trigger portion, and
an orifice disposed in the front face of the trigger.
11. The aerosol actuator of claim 10 further comprising a manifold integrated with the trigger portion.
12. The aerosol actuator of claim 10 wherein the trigger further comprises a cup.
13. The aerosol actuator of claim 10 wherein the base further comprises at least one valve guide sloping from an opening at a bottom of the base to a narrow hole.
14. The aerosol actuator of claim 11 wherein the trigger further comprises a cup.
15. The aerosol actuator of claim 11 wherein the base further comprises at least one valve guide sloping from an opening at a bottom of the base to a narrow hole.
16. The aerosol actuator of claim 12 wherein the base further comprises at least one valve guide sloping from an opening at a bottom of the base to a narrow hole.
17. The aerosol actuator of claim 13 wherein the trigger further comprises a cup.
18. The aerosol actuator of claim 1 , wherein the at least one male trigger latch is configured and arranged to move relative to the at least one trigger snap fitment on the base upon actuation of the trigger.
19. The aerosol actuator of claim 10 , wherein the at least one male trigger latch is configured and arranged to move relative to the at least one trigger snap fitment on the base upon actuation of the trigger.
