Abstract
An outlet assembly for a spray dispenser comprises an actuator member, an outlet member, and an adjustment member. The actuator member comprises a stem portion, a first displacement surface portion, and at least one finger. The outlet member is arranged adjacent to the actuator member such that the outlet member and the actuator member define a dispensing path and the outlet member is adjacent to the at least one finger. The adjustment member is arranged relative to the actuator member. Movement of the adjustment member relative to the actuator member displaces the adjustment member relative to the actuator member to deform the at least one finger. As the at least one finger deforms, the at least one finger deforms the outlet member to alter a cross-sectional area of the outlet opening.
