A shroud and cartridge based shut-off for sprayers combine to provide for intermittent and continuous spraying. The shroud affords many different aesthetic possibilities including different colors and colors related to the color of the sprayer tank. The shroud includes an actuator lever for digitally actuating the shut-off valve intermittently. A thumb actuated latch locks the actuator lever in a depressed position for continuous spraying.

Shroud with cartridge based shut-off for sprayers

A pump assembly for a compression sprayer includes a cylinder and a piston reciprocal therein with means for releasably latching the piston in its fully inserted position. An integral cup and spring are coupled with the inner end of the piston with the spring biased against the inner end of the cylinder to cooperate in urging the piston outwardly to maintain the piston in its latched position. A handle for facilitating reciprocation of the piston is provided with a soft grip for comfort and reducing hand fatigue.
