Abstract
A one-piece actuator for a valve includes a ramp structure providing a linear sloping passageway communicating with the valve, a chamber that generates a vortex and communicates with the ramp structure, and a nozzle that communicates with the chamber to dispense and mechanically break apart product upon actuation of the valve from an aerosol container. The ramp structure is angled 20 to 60 degrees relative to the chamber.
