Abstract
A manually actuated liquid sprayer has an element mounted on its nozzle for movement parallel to the axis of the discharge orifice between retracted and extended positions relative to the front wall of the nozzle, the element having a thickness not greater than the lateral extent thereof, lying against the front wall in the retracted position and being spaced from such wall in the extended position. The element has an open port coaxial with the discharge orifice and of a size greater than that of the orifice, the element comprising a mitigating element for mitigating the divergent spray issuing from the orifice. The open port is sized relative to that of the spray plume such that the mitigating element has no effect on the liquid spray as it passes through the open port without influence from any portion thereof in the retracted position, and such that the mitigating element is engaged only as it is extended to a position spaced from the forward wall of the nozzle to produce the intended modulation of the spray which emerges from the forward side of the element.
