Abstract

A cap comprising of a cover (2) and a tubular body (1) for use on an aerosol can (5). The tubular body (1), fitted onto the aerosol can (5), contains a perpendicular bar (10), horizontal bar (6), ducts (30) to release the contents on the can. To activate the ejection valve stem (14), a lever mechanism is incorporated in the cover which can be disposed in an open and close position. In the open position, the upper portion of the cover (26) depressed, activates the ejection valve stem (14), releasing the contents. When upper portion of cover is moved to a close position, it is not possible to accidentally activate the ejection valve stem. Audible sound is created when the cover reaches the open and close position.
