An aerosol valve actuator with a discrete shell-like enclosure and a
discrete, bottom mounted, actuating member with finger actuating pad. An
opening with a perimeter, in the upper portion of the enclosure, is
closed in non-actuated position by the finger pad which has a greater
perimeter than the opening perimeter. The finger pad has an upper surface
with a portion adjacent its perimeter which underlies and contacts the
enclosure upper portion directly adjacent its opening leaving no
discernable gap. The finger pad cannot be pushed upwardly through the
opening to create a "smiling" effect. The actuating member is connected
to the enclosure interior side wall, and has a nozzle outer end snap fit
and extending into and filling an enclosure side wall product dispensing
opening to prevent spray noise entering the enclosure and being
intensified.
