Abstract
A spray bottle having a pump, flexible tubing, a housing and a retainer for clamping the tubing to the housing. The pump pumps fluid to be sprayed from inside the spray bottle. The flexible tubing is attached to the pump, extends into the spray bottle, and communicates fluid from inside the spray bottle to the pump. The housing is attached to a distal end of the flexible tubing and includes a head, a weight and a nozzle. The head projects into an opening in the distal end of the tubing. The weight is secured in the housing. The nozzle extends from an end of the housing opposing the end of the housing attached to the head. An opening in the nozzle and an opening in the head are in flow communication. The retainer encircles a portion of a periphery of the tubing and clamps the tubing against the head.
