摘要 |
In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, an apparatus includes an actuator with a spray nozzle and an opening adjacent the spray nozzle. The actuator dispenses spray through the spray nozzle when the actuator is depressed to operate a pump or an aerosol valve. Also included is a nozzle closure with a first projection and a second projection. The first projection fits into a first opening adjacent the spray nozzle thereby sealing the spray nozzle, while the second projection fits into a second opening, below the first opening, thereby locking the actuator. The nozzle closure has a hinge allowing pivotal movement of the nozzle closure from a closed position, at which the spray opening is open, to a closed position, at which the spray opening is closed. When in the closed position, a degree of opening resistance between the nozzle closure and the actuator may provide a measure of child-resistance.
