Safety device for an aerosol or the like dispensing container
Abstract
Abstract THE INVENTION CONTEMPLATES SIMPLE MEANS FOR SAFETY CLOSURE OF A DISPENSING CONTAINER, SUCH AS AN AEROSOL OR OTHER LIQUID DISPENSER, FOR PARTICLUAR USE IN PROTECTING THE CONTAINER AGAINST ACCESS BY YOUNG CHILDREN. THE DEVICE UTILIZES TWO CONCENTRIC TUBULAR OR CUP-SHAPED PARTS WITH WINDOW OPENINGS WHICH REGISTER FOR ONE ANGULAR POSITION AND WHICH DO NOT REGISTER FOR ANOTHER ANGULAR POSITION, AND INTERENGAGING MEANS BETWEEN THESE PARTS REQUIRES A CORRECT SEQUENCE OF TWO DELIBERATE AND DIFFERENT ACTUATIONS, BEFORE THE DEVICE WILL ALLOW A DISPENSING ACTUATION. IN THE FORM DESCRIBED, THE SAFETY DEVICE MAY BE A UNIT-HANDLING ASSEMBLY OF THE TWO PARTS, SAID ASSEMBLY BEING THEREAFTER ASSEMBLED TO A STANDARD AEROSOL CONTAINER.
