Abstract

A container 12, for example for containing herbicide for delivery means of a hand-held applicator, has a guide rib 84 for assisting guidance of the container 12 with respect to a handset 2 of the applicator as the container 12 is fitted to the handset 2. The container 12 also has a latching recess 20 for cooperation with a latching element 44 provided in the handset, to retain the container 12 with respect to the handset. The rib 84 tapers in the direction from a base 66 of the container towards an outlet 16, so that the fit between the rib 84 and a slot 24 in a guide 22 on the handset becomes progressively tighter as the container is inserted.
