Actuator With Self-Contained Light Source

摘要

An actuator with a self-contained light source may be designed to fit on any conventional pump dispenser or valve of a pre-pressurized dispenser in a completely conventional manner. As a result, the feature of light may easily be added to a conventional pump or aerosol valve dispenser, without having to customize the pump or valve. When a user depresses the actuator to dispense product, an electric lighting circuit within the actuator is completed. The light may be effective to activate a product as it is being dispensed.
