Provided is an adapter configured for use with an aerosol can spray nozzle and an extension tube. The adapter is configured to fit onto the spray nozzle and to receive the extension tube to provide a more rigid and fluidly secure connection between the spray nozzle and the extension tube. The adapter includes a spray nozzle portion and an extension tube portion. The spray nozzle portion includes an opening sized and configured to allow the spray nozzle to be insertable therein to create frictional engagement therebetween. The extension tube portion includes an inner channel extending therethrough, and is sized and configured to allow the extension tube to be insertable therein to create friction-tight engagement between the extension tube and the adapter.

1. An adapter configured for use with an aerosol can spray nozzle and an extension tube to securely and fluidly connect the extension tube to a nozzle orifice formed within the spray nozzle, the spray nozzle being operatively connectable to a valve mechanism of a conventional aerosol can, the adapter comprising: an adapter body configured to be engageable with the spray nozzle, the adapter body having a first surface, a second surface, and a side surface extending between the first and second surfaces, the adapter body defining: a spray nozzle portion having an opening extending from the first surface to the second surface, the opening being sized and configured to allow the spray nozzle to be insertable therein; andan extension tube portion having an inner channel extending from the opening to the sidewall, the inner channel being sized and configured to allow the extension tube to be insertable therein to create friction-tight engagement between the extension tube and the adapter body, the inner channel being alignable with the nozzle orifice when the spray nozzle is inserted within the opening. 2. The adapter recited in claim 1, wherein the adapter body is formed from a rubber material. 3. The adapter recited in claim 1, wherein the adapter body is formed from a resilient material. 4. The adapter recited in claim 1, wherein the adapter body is configured to enable expansion of the opening in response to the circumferential engagement between the spray nozzle and the adapter body when the spray nozzle is inserted into the opening. 5. The adapter recited in claim 1, wherein the inner channel is configured to allow the extension tube to be inserted therein by a first force and to allow the extension tube to be removed by a second force equal to or greater than the first force. 6. The adapter recited in claim 1, wherein the adapter body includes a plurality of projections extending into the inner channel to facilitate the friction-tight engagement between the adapter body and the extension tube. 7. The adapter recited in claim 1, wherein the adapter body includes a plurality of annular protrusions extending into the inner channel to facilitate the friction-tight engagement between the adapter body and the extension tube. 8. The adapter recited in claim 1, wherein the adapter body includes a helical protrusion extending into the inner channel to facilitate friction-tight engagement between the adapter body and the extension tube. 9. The adapter recited in claim 1, therein the adapter body includes an open slot formed within the spray nozzle portion and extending in a first direction from the opening to the side surface and in a second direction from the first surface to the second surface, the open slot allowing the size of the opening to increase when the nozzle is inserted into the opening. 10. The adapter recited in claim 1, wherein the adapter body is formed from a metallic material. 11. The adapter recited in claim 1, wherein the spray nozzle portion is sized and configured to circumferentially engage the spray nozzle when the spray nozzle is inserted within the opening. 12. An adapter configured to securely and fluidly connect an aerosol can spray nozzle having a nozzle orifice to an extension tube, the spray nozzle being operatively connectable to a valve mechanism of a conventional aerosol can, the adapter comprising: an adapter body having: an engagement surface defining an opening sized to receive the nozzle, the engagement surface being circumferentially engageable with the nozzle; andan inner channel extending from the opening to an external surface of the adapter body, the inner channel being alignable with the nozzle orifice when the nozzle is received within the opening and configured to facilitate friction-tight engagement with the extension tube. 13. The adapter recited in claim 12, wherein the adapter body is formed from a resilient material. 14. The adapter recited in claim 12, wherein the adapter body is configured to expand to increase the size of the opening when the nozzle is inserted into the opening. 15. The adapter recited in claim 12, wherein the inner channel is configured to allow the extension tube to be inserted therein by a first force and to allow the extension tube to be removed by a second force equal to or greater than the first force. 16. The adapter recited in claim 12, wherein the adapter body includes a plurality of projections extending into the inner channel to facilitate the friction-tight engagement between the adapter body and the extension tube. 17. The adapter recited in claim 12, wherein the adapter body includes a plurality of annular protrusions extending into the inner channel to facilitate the friction-tight engagement between the adapter body and the extension tube. 18. The adapter recited in claim 12, wherein the adapter body includes a helical protrusion extending into the inner channel to facilitate friction-tight engagement between the adapter body and the extension tube. 19. The adapter recited in claim 12, therein the adapter body includes a open slot formed within the spray nozzle portion and extending in a first direction from the opening to the side surface and in a second direction from the first surface to the second surface, the open slot allowing the size of the opening to increase when the nozzle is inserted into the opening. 20. An adapter kit configured for use with an aerosol can having a spray nozzle including a nozzle orifice, the spray nozzle being operatively connectable to a valve mechanism of the aerosol can, the adapter kit comprising: an extension tube; andan adapter body having a first surface, a second surface, and a side surface extending between the first and second surfaces, the adapter body defining: a spray nozzle portion having an opening extending from the first surface to the second surface, the opening being sized and configured to allow the spray nozzle to be insertable therein to allow the spray nozzle portion to circumferentially engage the spray nozzle; andan extension tube portion having an inner channel extending from the opening to the sidewall, the inner channel being sized and configured to allow the extension tube to be insertable therein to facilitate friction-tight engagement between the extension tube and the adapter body, the inner channel being alignable with the nozzle orifice when the spray nozzle is inserted within the opening.
