Dispensing systems

1. A dispensing system, comprising:

a housing;

a discharge outlet; and

a trigger having a grip portion pivotably coupled to the housing to rotate from a first position to a second position, the grip portion having an upper surface and an interior surface disposed below the discharge outlet when the dispensing system is in an upright position,

wherein the upper surface of the grip portion moves outward when the grip portion rotates from the first position to the second position to enable at least one of the upper surface or the interior surface to direct a fluid product discharged via the discharge outlet into an interior of the housing, and

wherein the upper surface is sloped toward the interior of the housing when the grip portion is in the second position.

2. The dispensing system of claim 1 , wherein the housing includes a first aperture disposed below the discharge outlet when the dispensing system is in the upright position, the trigger including an arm extending from the grip portion and through the first aperture.

3. The dispensing system of claim 2 , wherein at least one of the upper surface or the interior surface is configured to direct the fluid product into the interior of the housing via the first aperture.

4. The dispensing system according to claim 2 , wherein the housing includes a surface disposed between the discharge outlet and the grip portion of the trigger, wherein the surface is configured to direct the fluid product toward the interior of the housing.

5. The dispensing system according to claim 4 , wherein the surface is sloped.

6. The dispensing system according to claim 4 , wherein the surface is stepped.

7. The dispensing system according to claim 4 , wherein the housing defines a second aperture to receive at least one of an end portion of a manifold or a spray insert defining the discharge outlet, and wherein the surface extends from the first aperture to the second aperture.

8. The dispensing system of claim 1 , wherein an uppermost point of the grip portion and a lowermost point of the grip portion follow substantially the same trajectory when the grip portion moves from the first position to the second position.

9. The dispensing system according to claim 1 , wherein the dispensing system has a central, longitudinal axis, and the grip portion is disposed on an opposite side of the central, longitudinal axis as an axis of rotation of the trigger.

10. The dispensing system according to claim 1 , wherein the grip portion is curved about a first axis and a second axis perpendicular to the first axis.

11. The dispensing system according to claim 1 further comprising an aerosol container, and wherein the housing is coupled to the aerosol container.

12. The dispensing system according to claim 11 , wherein a lowermost point of the grip portion is disposed below a lowermost point of a mounting cup of the aerosol container when the dispensing system is in an upright position.

13. The dispensing system according to claim 1 , wherein an uppermost point of the grip portion moves along an arcuate path having a negative vertical vector component when the grip portion moves from the first position to the second position.

14. The dispensing system according to claim 13 , wherein a portion of the upper surface of the grip portion is configured to be disposed farther outward from a central, longitudinal axis of the dispensing system than the discharge outlet when the grip portion is in the second position.

15. A dispensing system, comprising:

a housing having a sidewall that defines a first aperture and a second aperture;

a discharge outlet that is received in the second aperture; and

a trigger having a grip portion pivotably coupled to the housing to rotate from a first position to a second position, the grip portion having an upper surface and an interior surface disposed below the discharge outlet when the dispensing system is in an upright position,

wherein the housing includes a rail disposed between the discharge outlet and the grip portion of the trigger, wherein the rail is inwardly sloped and extends from the second aperture to the first aperture of the sidewall, and wherein the rail is configured to direct a fluid product toward an interior of the housing.

16. The dispensing system of claim 15 , wherein the upper surface of the grip portion moves outward when the grip portion rotates from the first position to the second position to enable at least one of the upper surface or the interior surface to direct the fluid product discharged via the discharge outlet into the interior of the housing.

17. The dispensing system according to claim 15 , wherein the upper surface is sloped toward the interior of the housing when the grip portion is in the second position.

18. The dispensing system according to claim 15 , wherein the rail is stepped.

19. A dispensing system, comprising:

a container having a central, longitudinal axis, a first outermost point of the container being a first distance from the central, longitudinal axis along a first line perpendicular to the central, longitudinal axis;

a housing;

a discharge outlet; and

a trigger having a grip portion pivotably coupled to the housing to rotate from a first position to a second position, the grip portion having an upper surface and an interior surface disposed below the discharge outlet when the dispensing system is in an upright position,

wherein an upper end of the trigger moves away from the central, longitudinal axis when the trigger moves toward the actuated position,

wherein a portion of the upper surface of the grip portion is configured to be disposed farther outward from the central, longitudinal axis of the dispensing system than the discharge outlet when the grip portion is in the second position, and

wherein the upper surface is sloped toward the interior of the housing when the grip portion is in the second position.
