US Classification:

222183

Abstract:

A dispensing system includes a manifold adapted to be fluidly coupled to a valve stem of a container. A shroud has a gripping portion and is adapted to fit within a user's hand. The gripping portion includes first and second cutout portions and at least one actuation member. A force applied to the gripping portion causes the at least one actuation member to contact the manifold to force the manifold downwardly.

International Classification:

B65D 83/20
B67D 7/84

US Classification:

22240213, 222183

Abstract:

A dispensing system has a central longitudinal axis and includes a shroud adapted to receive a container. The shroud includes a gripping portion adapted to be gripped by a hand of a user. The dispensing system also includes an actuation member adapted to rotate about a rotation point on a rotation axis toward an interior of the shroud in response to a force applied to the actuation member by the user. The actuation member is configured such that a rotation distance is at least about 6 centimeters. The rotation distance is measured in a direction parallel to the central longitudinal axis between a location where the user can apply the force to the actuation member and the rotation point of the actuation member.
