PCT No. PCT/GB95/01473 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 4, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 4, 1997 PCT Filed Jun. 23, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/12661 PCT Pub. Date May 2, 1996A dispensing apparatus for use with a pressurized dispensing container dispenses an aerosol spray. The dispensing apparatus includes a housing defining a tubular body that receives, in use, the pressurized dispensing container. A tubular mouthpiece projects laterally from the body, the mouthpiece having a tubular lip portion defining an outlet through which the aerosol spray is inhalable. A removable cap engages the mouthpiece to overlay the lip portion and close the outlet. A strap connects the cap to the body so that the cap is maintained with the housing when it is disengaged from the mouthpiece. The cap includes a tubular portion with an internal surface that conforms with an external surface of the lip portion. Movement of the cap into and out of the engaged position is accompanied by co-axial relative movement of the cap and the lip portion. The strap includes a web of plastic material having formed therein a plurality of transverse grooves defining fold lines about which the web folds in a bellows formation to accommodate extension and retraction of the strap during axial movement of the cap.
