According to the present invention, a dispenser for dispensing a substance from a pressurized canister having a nozzle selectively operable to control release of the substance is provided. The dispenser includes an elongate housing for a pressurized canister, where the housing includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a sidewall. The distal end of the housing has an aperture formed therein, and the sidewall has an opening formed therein. An actuator, which is movable at least axially forward toward the distal end and axially backward toward the proximate end, extends within the elongate housing through the opening and cooperates with a nozzle of the pressurized canister. To operate the dispenser, the actuator is moved to an axially forward firing position in which the actuator causes the nozzle to operate, thereby releasing the substance from the pressurized canister through the aperture in a substantially axial direction.

[What is claimed is:] [1.]an elongate housing for a pressurized canister, said elongate housing having a proximal end, a distal end, and a sidewall, wherein said distal end has an aperture formed therein and said sidewall has an opening formed therein; andan actuator that extends within said elongate housing through said opening, said actuator being movable at least axially forward toward said distal end and axially backward toward said proximate end, said actuator having an axially forward firing position in which said actuator is operatively coupled to the pressurized canister to open the valve and release the substance from the pressurized canister through the aperture in a substantially axial direction.
