Abstract

A child-resistant trigger sprayer includes a sprayer body having a barrel with an internal passage, and at least one first lug formed integrally with the barrel and extending radially outwardly from the barrel. A nozzle is rotatable on the barrel between at least one first position for dispensing liquid from the passage, and at least one second position for blocking dispensing of liquid from the passage. The nozzle has a flexible resilient skirt that is telescopically received over the barrel and the first lug on the barrel, and at least one pair of second lugs extending radially inwardly from the skirt for circumferential abutment on opposed sides of the first lug to block rotation of the nozzle in both directions from the second position toward the first position. The skirt is deflectable to distort the portion of the skirt carrying the second lugs radially outwardly so as to be rotatable past the first lug.
