Abstract
An ergonomically improved spray bottle grip includes a top wall surrounded by a perimeter wall that defines a first recess on the underside of the top wall.

A pair of arms extend downwardly from the perimeter wall and terminate in a pair of finger grips. The finger grips may include upward portions and ribs to help prevent the user's fingers from slipping off of the finger grip. The top wall includes a closed central aperture which is dimensioned to telescopingly receive a nozzle on the spray bottle. In use, the grip is placed over the spray bottle such that the nozzle projects through the aperture. The top wall is then pressed downwardly along the spray bottle until it contacts the finger flange on the spray bottle. Thereafter, the user pushes downwardly on the finger grips while simultaneously pushing upward against the bottom of the spray bottle, such that a measured dose of the bottle contents is emitted as a spray. In another embodiment, the spray bottle grip may be integrally attached to a reciprocating member on the spr…
