Abstract
A child-resistant nozzle in combination with a hand operated sprayer is disclosed. The nozzle and the discharge end of the sprayer are movable into positions of relative adjustment including a liquid flow OFF position and one or more liquid flowing positions and have cooperating surfaces in which passages are formed, which passages when brought into register by relative adjustment of the nozzle and discharge end determine the mode of liquid discharge, i.e., SPRAY or STREAM. Locking members are also provided on the nozzle or discharge end which cooperate when engaged by other parts of the device to prevent sprayer operation by preventing relative adjustment of the nozzle and discharge end from said liquid flow OFF position without the application, simultaneously, of discrete, predetermined actions of the members and parts.
