An overcap for a volatile material dispenser includes a housing adapted to be mounted on a container. The container has a valve stem with a discharge end. The overcap includes a valve-connecting portion adapted to engage the valve stem and a fixture that extends from the valve-connecting portion. The overcap further includes a trigger attached to the housing by a hinge that is disposed at or below a plane formed by the fixture. A contact portion is disposed in the trigger for interacting with the fixture and applying pressure to the valve-connecting portion to actuate the valve stem.

1. A method of actuating a volatile material dispenser, comprising: providing a volatile material dispenser, wherein the dispenser includes a housing having a side section depending from a top section, the housing adapted to be mounted on a container having a valve stem with a discharge end, a valve-connecting portion adapted to engage the valve stem, a fixture extending from the valve-connecting portion, a trigger having a discharge aperture, wherein the trigger is integrally attached to the housing entirely below a plane formed by the fixture and on a same side of the side section as the discharge aperture, and a contact portion disposed in the trigger; andpressing the trigger in a direction generally parallel to the plane defined by the fixture, such that the trigger movement allows the contact portion to move into contact with the fixture to thereby displace the valve-connecting portion. 2. The method of claim 1, further including the step of providing a container. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein a first end of the trigger is integrally attached to the housing by a living hinge and the trigger includes a hook that attaches a second end of the trigger to the housing. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the pressing step includes the step of displacing the second end of the trigger away from the housing. 5. The method of claim 4, further including the step of releasing the trigger to allow the second end of the trigger to move toward and be stopped by the hook. 6. An overcap for a volatile material dispenser, comprising: a housing including a side section depending from a top section, the housing adapted to be mounted on a container having a valve stem with a discharge end;a valve-connecting portion adapted to engage the valve stem;a fixture extending from the valve-connecting portion;a trigger attached to the side section of the housing by a hinge, wherein the hinge is entirely disposed below a plane formed by the fixture and the hinge is disposed on a same side of the side section of the housing as a discharge aperture; anda contact portion disposed in the trigger for moving into contact with the fixture and applying pressure to the valve-connecting portion to actuate the valve stem. 7. The overcap of claim 6, wherein the fixture extending from the valve connecting portion comprises at least one protrusion. 8. The overcap of claim 7, wherein the contact portion disposed in the trigger comprises at least one notch. 9. The overcap of claim 6, wherein the fixture extending from the valve-connecting portion comprises an annular ring. 10. The overcap of claim 9, wherein the contact portion disposed in the trigger comprises a ledge extending therefrom. 11. The overcap of claim 6, wherein the hinge is a living hinge. 12. The overcap of claim 6, wherein the trigger is integrally attached to the housing. 13. The overcap of claim 6, wherein the valve-connecting portion extends to a point adjacent the discharge aperture of the trigger. 14. The overcap of claim 1, in combination with a container. 15. An overcap for a volatile material dispenser, comprising: a housing having a side section depending from a top section, the housing adapted to be mounted on a container having a valve stem with a discharge end;a valve-connecting portion adapted to engage the valve stem;a fixture extending from the valve-connecting portion;a trigger having a portion extending outwardly from the side section of the housing, the portion of the trigger having a discharge aperture, wherein the trigger is integrally attached to the housing below a plane formed by the fixture; anda contact portion on the trigger for moving into contact with the fixture to thereby displace the valve-connecting portion. 16. The overcap of claim 15, wherein the trigger is integrally attached to the housing by a living hinge. 17. The overcap of claim 15, wherein the trigger comprises at least one of a concave shape, convex shape, and an S-shape. 18. The overcap of claim 15, in combination with a container. 19. The overcap of claim 15, wherein the housing is inclined upwardly between a first side and a second side thereof. 20. The overcap of claim 15, wherein the housing includes an aperture formed within the side section of the housing.
