An automatic relocking device is disclosed. An exemplary embodiment is a pressurized package having features discouraging valve actuation by a young child. The invention is characterized by two principal interacting members, one movable and the other fixed. One of these members includes a projection extending toward the other, and the other has a blocking member and camming means attached to it which provide desired interaction of the two principal members upon relative axial movement caused by attempts to actuate the valve and by actual actuation and closing thereof. The blocking member prevents actuation when the two principal members are in a first lateral relationship by interfering with the projection, while actuation is unobstructed if these members are in a second lateral relationship. The camming means directs the two members back into the first lateral relationship upon return axial movement after product discharge.
