Abstract
A device is provided for dispensing a mixture of propellant and product (e.g. medicament) from a pressurized aerosol container (3). The device has a housing (1) receiving the container (3), a cover (7) and an actuator lever (10) all pivotally connected to one another. The axes of pivoting are so arranged that moving the cover (7) from a closed position to an open position puts the device in a "primed" condition in which squeezing the housing (1) and actuator lever (10) together displaces the container (3) with respect to the housing (1) and thereby opens the outlet valve (4) of the container (3) to dispense mixture from the container.
