Abstract
A multi-purpose nozzle assembly for a liquid dispenser includes a rotatable nozzle cap having an internal sleeve in engagement with the end of a fixed plug located within an outlet member of the dispenser containing a discharge conduit. An end wall of the cap has a smooth inner surface confronting the end wall of the plug, and the plug and sleeve have two discrete passageways formed between the discharge conduit and the discharge orifice located in the cap end wall. The passageways are capable of being opened and closed in selected rotative positions of the cap in alternating off, stream and spray positions.
