1. A spray product comprising: a container holding a pressurized composition to be sprayed;a dispenser cap comprising an axially moveable collar that surrounds an inner unit, the inner unit comprising a mounting ring at its bottom that is suitable for placement on a container, a cylindrical wall having a section that defines a radial outlet hole, said radial outlet hole being located towards the upper end of the inner unit, and a release trigger at the upper end of the inner unit, said collar being moveable between a raised position in which it covers the radial outlet hole and a lowered position in which it does not cover the radial outlet hole, the axially moveable collar comprising an internal structure that prevents the depression of the release trigger when the collar is in its raised position;a conduit for transferring the composition from the container to the radial outlet hole: anda means for generating a spray from the composition;wherein: the movement of the collar between its raised and lowered positions involves rotating it;the inner unit comprises an edge sloping around its cylindrical wall and the collar comprises a nub protruding from its inner surface to an extent sufficient for it to sit onthe sloping edge, rotation of the collar around the inner unit causing the nub to rotate around the sloping edge and consequently cause the collar to rise or fall according to the direction of rotation;the nub moves within a slot defined between the edge upon which it sits and an upper edge sloping at the same gradient around the cylindrical wall, on the upper side of the nub; andthe upper edge of the slot is defined by an element of the cylindrical wall having a lesser radius of curvature than the element of the cylindrical wall defining the lower edge. 2. A spray product according to claim 1, wherein there are two or more such edges and associated nubs. 3. A spray product according to claim 1, wherein prevention of the use of the release trigger is achieved by the abutment of a nub against a lower edge of a sidewall that falls vertically from an arcuate edge of the release trigger. 4. A spray product according to claim 3, wherein the nub abuts the lower edge of the sidewall and thereby prevents depression of the release trigger when the collar is in all positions other than its fully lowered position. 5. A spray product according to claim 1, wherein there is a lip on the edge sloping around the cylindrical wall upon which the nub sits, said lip being located the breadth of the associated nub from the lower end of said edge and said lip serving as a restraint to the movement of the nub to and away from its lowest position. 6. A spray product according to claim 1, wherein there is a lip on the upper edge of the slot, located the breadth of the associated nub from the upper end of said sloping edge, said lip serving as a restraint to the movement of the nub to and away from its highest position. 7. A spray product according to claim 1, wherein there are three nubs each moving within an associated slot. 8. A spray product according to claim 1, wherein the composition is a deodorant composition. 9. A spray product according to claim 8, wherein the composition is a body spray. 10. A spray product according to claim 8, wherein the composition is an antiperspirant composition. 11. A spray product comprising: a container holding a pressurized composition to be sprayed;a dispenser cap comprising an axially moveable collar that surrounds an inner unit, the inner unit comprising a mounting ring at its bottom that is suitable for placement on a container, a cylindrical wall having a section that defines a radial outlet hole, said radial outlet hole being located towards the upper end of the inner unit, and a release trigger at the upper end of the inner unit, said collar being moveable between a raised position in which it covers the radial outlet hole and a lowered position in which it does not cover the radial outlet hole, the axially moveable collar comprising an internal structure that prevents the depression of the release trigger when the collar is in its raised position;a conduit for transferring the composition from the container to the radial outlet hole: anda means for generating a spray from the composition;wherein: the movement of the collar between its raised and lowered positions involves rotating it;the inner unit comprises an edge sloping around its cylindrical wall and the collar comprises a nub protruding from its inner surface to an extent sufficient for it to sit on the sloping edge, rotation of the collar around the inner unit causing the nub to rotate around the sloping edge and consequently cause the collar to rise or fall according to the direction of rotation;the nub moves within a slot defined between the edge upon which it sits and an upper edge sloping at the same gradient around the cylindrical wall, on the upper side of the nub; andthe element of the cylindrical wall defining the upper edge of the sloping slot has a vertical recess where the radius of curvature of the cylindrical wall is less, said recess having an outwardly sloping step at its lower end, said vertical recess allowing the insertion of the nub into the sloping slot, and the outwardly sloping step at its lower end preventing its removal. 12. A spray product according to claim 11, wherein the container comprises a valve capable of activation by the release trigger when the collar is in its lowered position.
