Abstract

An improved trigger sprayer apparatus (10) is comprised of a venting system (18, 84,92) that allows air to enter a liquid container (26) connected to the apparatus as the apparatus dispenses liquid from the container, a trigger member (20) of the apparatus that provides reliable operation and prevents the inadvertent disconnection of the trigger member from the apparatus, a gasket (106) connected to the apparatus between the liquid container and the apparatus, and a fluid conduit (32) communicating with a nozzle orifice (158) of the apparatus that centers a fluid spinner (152) of the apparatus relative to the orifice. A discrete vent housing (14) and spraying housing (12) are provided.
