Abstract
A spray mechanism for dispensing fluid from a bottle or container is characterized by a spray tube having a configuration which mirrors the front wall of the bottle. The tube is connected with a manual pump connected with the open upper end of the bottle. The lower end of the tube is terminates short of the bottom wall of the bottle and adjacent to the front wall. Accordingly, when the bottle is tilted forward, such as to spray fluid downwardly, the tube lower end is maintained submerged in the fluid, whereby the pump is operable even when the bottle is not upright in a vertical position.
Claims5
A spray mechanism, comprising
- (a) a manual pump adapted for connection with an open upper end of a container of fluid for pumping fluid from said container in a first direction;
- and
- (b) a tube connected with said pump and having a lower end extending into said container to a position just short of a bottom wall of said container adjacent to a side wall portion of said container facing in said first direction, whereby when said container is tilted from a vertical position in the first direction toward a horizontal position, said tube lower end remains submerged in the fluid within the container so that said pump continues to draw fluid from the container.
