Abstract

A combination includes a product container (50) having a longitudinal dimension and a valve (66) oriented to discharge product generally longitudinally therefrom. Valve actuating apparatus (52) extends laterally from the valve in a direction transverse to the longitudinal dimension and terminates at an outer peripheral surface (90). A housing (60) has a wall (61) that tapers to a discharge opening (62), and the discharge opening has a size larger than a radius of the container but smaller than the greatest lateral extent of the valve actuating apparatus. The outer peripheral surface is disposed in interfering relationship with the wall when the container is disposed in the housing.
