Abstract

According to certain embodiments of the invention, an aerosol actuator may include one or more directors mounted on the aerosol actuator such that the director may pivot or rotate between an on and off position. According to some embodiments of the invention, a director may include one or more nozzles which may be rotated between any one or more of an "off position, a "stream" position, a "spray" position, a "foam" position, or other desired output position. According to various embodiments of the invention, a director or nozzle, or both, may be incorporated into the design of the aerosol actuator for any one or more of easy storage, improved ergonomics, preferred aesthetics, or otherwise.
