An actuator assembly for an aerosol container containing a product to be dispensed. The actuator assembly comprises a base having a through bore extending therethrough and a mechanism for securing the base member to a mounting cup of the aerosol container. An actuator is supported in the through bore of the base and is slidable along a longitudinal axis thereof via a pair of mating bearing and guide surfaces. The through bore contains a pair of opposed stop members which permanently retain the actuator within the through bore. The actuator is allowed to slide within the through bore, during installation of the actuator assembly onto an aerosol container, to prevent the actuator from sufficiently engaging with or depressing the valve stem so that inadvertent discharge of the product contents is prevented until actual use of the aerosol container by the end user.

[ Wherefore, I claim:] [1.] An actuator assembly for an aerosol container containing a stem for controlling dispensing of an aerosol product, said actuator assembly comprising:a base defining a longitudinal axis and having a though bore extending therethrough, and an attachment mechanism for attaching said base to an aerosol container containing an aerosol product; andan actuator being at least partially supported within said though bore, and said actuator having a product inlet and a discharge outlet, communicating with one another, for dispensing the aerosol product;wherein said through bore and said actuator are provided with cooperating members which permanently retain said actuator within said through bore and permanently align said actuator relative to said base to prevent rotation of said actuator relative to said base about said longitudinal axis, while said cooperating members allow said actuator to slide along said longitudinal axis of said though bore a sufficient distance such that said inlet of said actuator insufficiently engages with a stem of the aerosol container, upon completion of installation of said actuator assembly on the aerosol container, so as to prevent discharge of any of the aerosol product during installation of said actuator assembly on the aerosol container and thereafter allowing product dispensing.
