Abstract: An actuator for aerosol spray cans utilizing a toe, as a pivot point, to engage the inside recess on the cup rim bead of the can (the bead which surrounds the spray nozzle) and a heel portion that extends against the valve stem mount. The body and handle of the actuator extend from the toe and heel upward and over the spray nozzle of the can with the handle being positioned approximately perpendicular to the direction of the spray exhaust of the can. Spray action is initiated by depressing the handle of the actuator with forefinger or thumb, causing the toe of the actuator to act as a pivot in the inside recess of the cup rim bead and the heel to slide against the valve stem mount. A protrusion on the body of the actuator depresses the aerosol spray nozzle creating a spray exhaust. The end of the actuator handle is formed to insert into the spray can cap and is used as a pry for removing the cap from the can.
