ABSTRACT:
A dispensing apparatus and method for spraying the hands of a person is provided. The apparatus includes a housing having a plurality of walls forming a chamber for the hands and having an opening for inserting the hands into the chamber. The apparatus has an L-shaped actuating member having a pivot supported by a wall. The L-shaped member has a horizontal leg supported by the pivot, a disc portion disposed in the chamber for contact by the hands, and has a vertical leg with a tip bearing portion disposed outside the housing. The apparatus also has a resilient cantilever beam having a first portion with a cavity which receives a cap portion of an aerosol container, and having a second portion which is fixedly connected to a wall of the housing. The resilient cantilever beam has a passageway from the cavity to an orifice inside the chamber for spraying a substance. from the container, while containing the disc portion in the chamber. An upward force on the disc portion causes a downward force on the resilient cantilever beam to actuate the container. The resilient cantilever beam springs back to its release position when the force is removed and the flow of the substance is stopped.
