Abstract

A fluid dispenser valve actuator that includes stop and abuttments that accommodate selective positioning of the actuator to an OFF position, preventing opening of the valve, from an ON position facilitating opening of the valve, and vice-versa. The actuator also includes a manipulative latching pawl and a catch that are latchingly engaged to prevent a positional change when the actuator is in the OFF position, except when pawl is manipulated to disengage the catch.
