An actuator (20) for electrically charging an aerosol spray has an inductor (34) located adjacent to the spray nozzle (18) to induce a charge on the atomized fluid. Charge to the inductor (34) is provided by a piezoelectric crystal (46) which is stressed by movement of an operating member (26) to open the spray valve (16). Inductor charging utilizes negligible electrical power so that additional power sources are not required. The crystal may be stressed continuously such as by squeezing, or intermittently, such as by striking. When an intermittent stressing is utilized, the electrical circuit includes a switch between the crystal and inductor which is opened as the valve is opened to isolate electrically the inductor during spraying.

Un actuateur (20) pour charger électriquement un pulvérisateur d'aérosols comporte un inducteur (34) adjacent à la buse de pulvérisation (18) pour induire une charge sur le liquide atomisé. La charge appliquée à l'inducteur (34) est fournie par un cristal piézo-électrique (46) qui est sollicité par le mouvement d'un élément de commande (26) pour ouvrir le clapet de pulvérisation (16). Le chargement de l'inducteur ne requérant qu'une énergie électrique minime, des sources de courant additionnelles ne sont pas nécessaires. Le cristal peut être sollicité en continu, par exemple par compression, ou en intermittence, par exemple par percussion. En mode de sollicitation intermittent, le circuit électrique comprend un interrupteur situé entre le cristal et l'inducteur, qui est ouvert lorsque le clapet est ouvert pour isoler électriquement l'inducteur pendant la pulvérisation.
