Abstract
An aerosol dispenser utilizes a vertical container filled with a pressurized liquid. An actuator which has a nozzle is positioned on the valve stem which is located on the top of the container. The actuator when pressed vertically or horizontally allows a jet flow of liquid to spray from the nozzle. The dispenser is provided with apparatus for preventing formation of a residual liquid film after termination of the jet flow spray which would otherwise clog the nozzle.
