Abstract
An apparatus for an improved aerosol spraying device comprising an aerosol valve being moveable between an open and a closed position for releasing a product from the aerosol container. The aerosol valve is resiliently biased into the closed position. A valve button having a terminal orifice is movable between a first and a second position with the valve button being biased into the first position. The valve button opens the aerosol valve when the valve button is moved into the second position and allows the aerosol valve to close when the valve button is in the first position. A vent cooperating with the valve button and the aerosol valve is closed when the valve button is moved into the second position to direct the product release from the aerosol valve to the terminal orifice. The vent is opened upon movement of the valve button from the second position to the first position for directing the product released from the aerosol valve during the closing of the aerosol valve to the vent to prevent dribbling of the product from the terminal orifice.
