Summary:Disclosed is a locking assembly for use with a pump-type dispenser to dispense material from a container. The assembly includes an actuator including at least one tooth integral to the actuator and a support ring which slidably engages the actuator. The support ring has at least one integral circumferential ridge with at least one ridge slot. The ridge is for limiting movement of the actuator until the tooth is properly aligned with the ridge slot, thereby allowing movement of the actuator and dispensing of product from the container. Alignment of the ridge slot and tooth may be achieved by rotating the actuator until an actuator position indicator on the actuator is aligned with an unlocking indicator on the support ring.
