Abstract
Abstract A two-piece actuating button suitable for use on pressurized dispensers or in conjunction with pump dispensers is provided with an aperture in the body piece which reveals a portion of the discharge orifice insert piece for visual information purposes. By making the two pieces of contrasting colors, the desired information appears in the aperture in contrasting color thereby eliminating the need for printing.
