Abstract
A fluid delivery system for dispensing fluid can include a dispenser, such as a trigger engine-type dispenser (), configured to draw fluid up from a container. A nozzle assembly can include a nozzle (), and a nozzle slide (). The nozzle slide can be configured to slide and/or rotate relative to the shroud () to provide different dispensing modes. In alternative examples, the nozzle () can be configured to rotate in 30 degree increments relative to the shroud () to provide the different dispensing modes or the nozzle assembly can include a nozzle extension, and the nozzle extension can be configured to rotate relative to the shroud to provide different dispensing patterns out of the nozzle. In another example a first nozzle can be configured to provide one or more dispensing modes, and a second nozzle can be configured to provide a different dispensing mode than the first nozzle. Methods of dispensing fluids and methods of assembling fluid dispensers are also disclosed.
