Aerosol container discharging apparatus with flag staking capability
First Claim
1. An apparatus for discharging the contents of an aerosol container and for creating an opening in a substrate, the aerosol container having an actuator which can be moved between discharging and non-discharging positions, the apparatus comprising:
- a rod member having a front and a rear end;
means for holding the aerosol container disposed adjacent the front end of the rod member so that the contents of the aerosol container will be discharged directly onto the substrate;
actuating means which effects movement of the aerosol container actuator between discharging and non-discharging positions;
means for controlling movement of the actuating means; and
means comprising a stake member disposed adjacent the front end of the rod member for creating an opening in a substrate.

Abstract
An apparatus for discharging the contents of an aerosol container and for creating an opening in a substrate. The apparatus includes a rod member having a front and a rear end; a holder for the aerosol container disposed adjacent the front end of the rod member; an arm which effects movement of the aerosol container actuator between discharging and non-discharging positions; a trigger and linkage system which controls the movement of the actuating arm; and a stake member for creating an opening in a substrate, such as the ground.
