An aerosol valve actuator with a valve stem engaging portion, product
dispensing opening, and flexible and expandable product conduit between
the engaging portion and dispensing opening. The product conduit is
molded at least in part of a first expandable flexible plastic material
softer than a second plastic material of the remainder of the actuator.
The remainder of the actuator is first molded, followed by molding the
first plastic material to form at least a part of the product conduit.
After the actuator has been actuated to dispense a foaming product and
actuation ceases, the post-foaming product expands within the product
conduit since the conduit expands to absorb the product expansion.
Actuator cap and base product dispensing side openings align only during
valve actuation. Base inwardly flexible members and cap internal ramps
bias the cap upwardly when actuation ceases. Base upper portion
telescopes in base lower portion during actuation.
