Abstract
An outlet assembly for a spray dispenser comprises a container, an actuator member comprising at least one finger, a deformable outlet member, and an adjustment member defining an adjustment edge. The container supports the actuator member. The outlet member is arranged adjacent to the actuator member such that the outlet member is adjacent to the at least one finger. The adjustment member is arranged relative to the actuator member such that the adjustment edge is in contact with the at least one finger. Movement of the adjustment member relative to the actuator member displaces the adjustment member relative to the actuator member to cause the adjustment edge to deform the at least one finger. As the adjustment edge deforms the at least one finger, the at least one finger deforms the outlet member to alter a cross-sectional area of the outlet opening.
