ABSTRACT:
An actuator-overcap for use with pressurized aerosol containers of the type having tilt-actuatable valves. The actuator-overcap includes a fixed portion and a tab portion movably attached thereto through a peripherally located hinge. The tab portion includes a laterally-facing finger-contact surface which is radially depressible to actuate the valve. The tab portion also includes an overhang which is axially adjacent to the distal end of a valve stem extension. The valve stem extension has an upward-facing bearing surface which is contacted by a downward-facing wedging surface on the overhang of the tab portion. The wedging surface is engageable with the bearing surface at a position radially opposite the position of the hinge such that radial depression of the finger-contact surface provides a wedging action on the extension causing it to tilt toward the hinge position.
