Spray can

Abstract

An actuator for a spray can is provided. The actuator includes an actuator body. The actuator body includes a front side and a rear side. The actuator body includes a right planar side and a left planar side located opposite each other. The right planar side and the left planar side slant inwardly going in a forward direction. The actuator body includes a groove formed on top of the actuator body. The groove tapers inwardly going in the forward direction. The groove slopes downwardly and rearwardly. The actuator also includes a base. The actuator body is attached on the base. The actuator also includes a nozzle. The nozzle is mounted in the front side.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An actuator for a spray can comprising:
 an actuator body, wherein the actuator body includes a front side and a rear side, wherein the actuator body includes a right planar side and a left planar side located opposite each other, wherein the right planar side and the left planar side slant inwardly going in a forward direction, wherein the actuator body includes a groove formed on top of the actuator body, wherein the groove tapers inwardly going in the forward direction, wherein the groove slopes downwardly and rearwardly;   a base, wherein the actuator body is attached on the base; and   a nozzle, wherein the nozzle is mounted in the front side.   
     
     
         2 . The actuator of  claim 1 , wherein the actuator body includes rear corners, wherein the rear corners are chamfered. 
     
     
         3 . The actuator of  claim 1 , wherein the base is circular shaped. 
     
     
         4 . A spray can comprising:
 a can body; and   an actuator, wherein the actuator is mounted on the can body, wherein the actuator comprises:
 an actuator body, wherein the actuator body includes a front side and a rear side, wherein the actuator body includes a right planar side and a left planar side located opposite each other, wherein the right planar side and the left planar side slant inwardly going in the forward direction, wherein the actuator body includes a groove formed on top of the actuator body, wherein the groove tapers inwardly going in the forward direction, wherein the groove slopes downwardly and rearwardly; 
 a base, wherein the actuator body is attached on the base; and 
 a nozzle, wherein the nozzle is mounted in the front side. 
   
     
     
         5 . The spray can of  claim 4 , wherein the can body includes an upper end, wherein the upper end includes an inner wall and an outer wall, wherein the inner wall surrounds the actuator, wherein the outer wall surrounds the inner wall. 
     
     
         6 . The spray can of  claim 5  further comprising a cap, wherein the upper end of the can body includes a lower base, wherein the cap fits upon the lower base. 
     
     
         7 . The spray can of  claim 6 , wherein the cap includes first and second tabs located on opposite sides of the cap, wherein the first and second tabs are configured to be depressed to enable removal of the cap from the base. 
     
     
         8 . The spray can of  claim 7 , wherein the cap includes first and second cut outs provided on a lower end of the cap and located on opposite sides of the cap. 
     
     
         9 . The spray can of  claim 7 , wherein the first and second tabs include ribs. 
     
     
         10 . The spray can of  claim 4 , wherein the can body contains a propellant, wherein the propellant is derived from sugar cane. 
     
     
         11 . The spray can of  claim 4 , wherein a height of the can body is 2 inches and a diameter of the can body is 7.56 inches. 
     
     
         12 . The spray can of  claim 4 , further comprising a full color label, wherein the label includes a color that matches color of the paint in the spray can. 
     
     
         13 . The spray can of  claim 4 , wherein the cap is translucent. 
     
     
         14 . The spray can of  claim 4 , wherein the actuator body includes rear corners, wherein the rear corners are chamfered.
