slot 15 and be retained by the dimples 16 in this manner the aerosol dispensing tube 17 is held laterally across the top of the cap although one preferred form of retaining the tube 17 laterally across the top of the cap 10 has been described it will be apparent that the tube 17 could be so held laterally in a number of ways all of which are preferably molded integrally with the top of the cap 10 for example two u shaped lugs could be molded at opposite ends of a diameter of the cap 10 so that the tube 17 can clip into the lugs and so be retained across the top of the cap 10 in a similar manner two upstanding ridges could be provided across a diameter of the top of the cap 10 spaced apart sufficiently so as to form a groove between the ridges to hold the tube 17 in a similar manner to the groove or slot 15 numerous other configurations of holding the tube 17 across the top of the cap 10 in a lateral manner are also possible and would fall within the scope of this invention in this manner an aerosol cap 10 is provided which because it is small in diameter and adapted to fit onto the upstanding flange surrounding the aerosol valve on the pressurized can uses a minimum quantity of plastics material and is therefore economical to manufacture at the same time.
