ABSTRACT:
A selective spray device for use in a refuse compactor, or the like, arranged to provide selectively onto the refuse a deodorizing spray. The device includes a control for effecting automatically a spray of the refuse as an incident of movement of the receptacle into which the refuse is placed for compaction. A manually operable control permits a manual operation of the spray device when desired at any time. The control may further be arranged to prevent operation of the spray device notwithstanding movement of the receptacle. The spray may be provided as a pressurized fluid in a can having a suitable selectively operable valve. The valve actuator may be held fixed while the can itself is displaced to effect an opening of the valve. The control may include a slidable cam having associated therewith a manually operable handle. The selective opening of the valve may be effected by a lever pivotally mounted adjacent the cam and having a cam follower engaged by the cam.
