Abstract
A child resistant assembly is disclosed for use with an aerosol container having a valve. The assembly comprises an actuator button having a terminal orifice connected through a valve stem to the valve for enabling discharge of the aerosol product from the terminal orifice upon opening the valve. An overcap is rotatably secured to the aerosol container and includes a finger actuator movably mounted relative to the overcap. A non-symmetrical aperture is disposed in either the actuator button or the finger actuator for cooperation with a non-symmetrical member in the other of the actuator button and the finger actuator. The non-symmetrical member enters the non-symmetrical aperture for transferring the finger movement of the operator to open the valve only upon a selected orientation of the finger actuator relative to the actuator button.
