ABSTRACT:
An improved liquid sprayer assembly for connection to a container (which preferably includes two liquid storage compartments) has a housing that includes a container mount having an underside with at least one structure that is operably interposed with corresponding structure on a neck portion of the container such that the container mount is fixed in a predetermined orientation relative to the container. A cap locks the container mount to the neck portion of the container. Preferably, the at least one structure of the container mount comprises a pair of wedge-shaped wall structures together with a plurality of wall structures that extend in a directional substantially parallel to the central axis of the mount
eck. The wedge-shaped wall structures are radially disposed opposite one another about the central axis of the container mount
eck and fit within wedge-shaped voids defined by the neck portion of the container. The plurality of wall structures are operably disposed adjacent corresponding surfaces defined by the neck portion of the container. Preferably, the sprayer employs a hose end connector as well as a venturi tube for aspirating liquid from the container. Preferably, a diverter mechanism, which is mounted within the housing, selectively couples the liquid storage compartment(s) of the container to the inlet port of the venturi tube, and a flow control valve controls the flow of pressurized liquid supplied from the hose end into the venturi tube.
