Abstract
A two-part rotatably mounted actuator and overcap assembly for an aerosol container. The overcap has two openings which, in one position, expose the nozzle and actuator button of the actuator. When the overcap is rotated relative to the actuator, the nozzle and actuator button are both covered over by the overcap. A cooperating stop and groove to limit the rotation of the overcap and actuator, and the two portions are made visibly distinct to allow user to see at a glance whether the assembly is in open or closed position.
