ABSTRACT:
A nozzle protector for an aerosol spray can of the type having in a top portion an annular bead that surrounds a nozzle and defines an inwardly facing groove shields the nozzle from impacts. The protector has a retaining sleeve portion having an upper part adapted to lie radially within the bead, and a pair of snap-in retaining rib portions projecting outwardly in generally opposite directions from the sleeve portion and adapted to be captured in the groove of the can top to securely attach the protector to the can. A pair of nozzle-protecting side wall portions adjoin the upper edge part of the retaining sleeve portion and are configured to define a first opening shaped and dimensioned to permit a spray to be ejected from the nozzle and a second opening shaped and dimensioned to permit a finger of a user to be received inwardly of the wall portions and engage the nozzle. The upper edges of the wall portions are positioned to be located above an uppermost extremity and on generally diametrically opposite sides of the nozzle so that the upper edges of the protector wall portions absorb impacts from all directions and prevent impacts on the nozzle.
