Abstract
Abstract For the spreading of shave cream lather, depilatories, unguents and the like substances on the face or other parts of the body, an improved applicator of the type attached to an aerosol container: wherein a deflection plate and/or an expansion chamber coacts with the applicator and the aerosol valve orifice, to direct the flow of lather and the like onto the spreading surface, and to prevent the lather from squirting into the eyes or other undesired areas of the user; wherein the operation of the valve is controlled by lever mechanisms, pressing plates, and locking stops.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
213 words
A cream and lather applicator for the spreading of shave cream lather and the like on the face or body for use on an aerosol container having an aerosol valve, said apPlicator comprising in combination: a housing, such as a protective cap having a circular top portion the outside surface of which comprises the spreading surface for the said spreading of shave cream lather and the like on the face or body; side walls extending from said circular top portion and terminating in a flange adaptable for attaching to the top edge of an aerosol container, said flange secured pivotally at one point of its circumference to said top edge of said aerosol container and movable slidably within predetermined limits at all other points of said circumference to said top edge of said aerosol container; a passage located in said circular top portion of said protective cap, said passage capable of seating the valve stem of said aerosol valve and conveying shave cream lather and the like from the orifice of said valve stem to said spreading surface; a finger pressing indent on said sidewall opposite of said pivot point so that downward pressure on said finger pressing indent results in lever action movement of said protective cap to operate said aerosol valve.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
213 words
A cream and lather applicator for the spreading of shave cream lather and the like on the face or body for use on an aerosol container having an aerosol valve, said apPlicator comprising in combination: a housing, such as a protective cap having a circular top portion the outside surface of which comprises the spreading surface for the said spreading of shave cream lather and the like on the face or body; side walls extending from said circular top portion and terminating in a flange adaptable for attaching to the top edge of an aerosol container, said flange secured pivotally at one point of its circumference to said top edge of said aerosol container and movable slidably within predetermined limits at all other points of said circumference to said top edge of said aerosol container; a passage located in said circular top portion of said protective cap, said passage capable of seating the valve stem of said aerosol valve and conveying shave cream lather and the like from the orifice of said valve stem to said spreading surface; a finger pressing indent on said sidewall opposite of said pivot point so that downward pressure on said finger pressing indent results in lever action movement of said protective cap to operate said aerosol valve.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
63 words
In claim 1 an expansion chamber surrounding a deflection hub which surrounds said passage located in said circular top portion of said protective cap, said deflection hub having ports located therein and in communication with said passage, said ports at such an angle as to direct the longitudinal flow of shave cream lather and the like radially outward and into said expansion chamber.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
In claim 2 the plane of said spreading surface being at an oblique angle to the central axis of the body portion of said aerosol container.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
96 words
In claim 2 a locking means consisting of a stationary collar having three levels fitted around the inside valve housing flange of said aerosol container; a guiding projection on the underside of said expansion chamber; when the applicator is rotated on said aerosol container, said guiding projection abuts against the side of the top level and rests over the next lower level effecting a locked position; when the applicator is rotated so that said guiding projection rests over the third and lowest level said applicator is capable of a downward movement which actuates said aerosol valve.
