Abstract

A manually operated pump dispenser assembly includes a container having an angled neck at its top opening and a pump dispenser mounted on the neck. The container neck and sprayer have a central axis lying at an acute angle to the central axis of the container. The neck axis intersects the container wall, and a dip tube suspended from the sprayer lies along such axis and extends into an interior corner of the container. Such interior corner forms a well from which substantially the entirety of contents of the container is capable of dispensed upon actuation of the dispenser while holding the container with the neck axis substantially upright.
