Abstract

A novel dispenser for aerosols is disclosed. The aerosol dispenser has a provision for holding the aerosol container, an upper section which can be locked to prohibit downward pressure on the aerosol valve stem, but which can be readily unlocked to permit use of the aerosol. The lock or catch mechanism prevents inadvertent or accidental discharge of the aerosol contents.
