Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure provides an aerosol delivery device comprising an aerosol canister containing pressurized aerosol, a metering valve, a mouthpiece, and an actuating assembly located in the mouthpiece. The actuating assembly comprises a button and an actuator and is configured to transform a button force applied to the button along a first path into an actuating force applied to the actuator along a second path, the first and second paths being noncollinear so as to actuate the metering valve to release at least a portion of the pressurized aerosol from the canister through the mouthpiece. In some implementations, the button and the actuator may comprise respective gear racks, and the actuating assembly may further include at least one pinion gear configured to engage the respective button and actuator gear racks. The actuating assembly may also include a nozzle insert configured to create a desired ejection pattern through the mouthpiece.
