Abstract
This relates to the provision of a container having as an integral part thereof a separate pickup tube so that the neck finish of the container has the usual mouth together with a pickup tube mouth. A conventional spray pump has the vent and pickup passage portion thereof replaced by a replacement assembly which will interlock with the container neck finish between the two mouths in a manner to orient the pump with respect to the container. The replacement assembly includes a combined vent and pickup member and a separately formed backup disc which are interlocked relative to one another for selectively positioning the backup disc with respect to the combined vent and pickup member and thus with respect to the pump. The backup disc, in turn, has projecting legs which interlock with the container neck finish. The backup disc has several possible positions with respect to the combined vent and pickup member.
