Abstract

A manually actuated pump sprayer adapted to be mounted on a container of liquid to be sprayed upon pump actuation is provided, and includes a plunger head having a side wall containing a discharge orifice. The plunger head may be reciprocable relative to the pump sprayer. An overcap may be independently rotatably disposed on the plunger head, and include a side wall overlying the discharge orifice in a condition of non-use. The side wall may include an opening disposable in alignment with the discharge orifice upon rotation of the overcap relative to the plunger head. A container closure may be provided for affixing the plunger head and the overcap relative to the container. The plunger head may be axially reciprocable relative to the container closure and may otherwise be locked relative to the container closure when in first and second orientations.
