Abstract
A self metering dispensing device for dispensing a predetermined quantity of material from an aerosol container. First and second actuating members are pivotally connected to a housing for the container and a nozzle actuating member is connected to the first actuating member. A pneumatic member in the form of a cylinder with a piston or a telescoping valve is operatively associated with the first and second actuating members. A compressive force placed on the second actuating member causes the nozzle activating member to contact the container valve to dispense product from the container. A controlled metering of product is produced by an air regulator connected to the pneumatic member.
