Abstract: A fluid container for use in accessing an obstructed fill port of a machine for inserting fluids therein includes a housing for containing a fluid, the housing having a top surface with an opening formed therein. A collapsible tube is aligned with the opening and affixed to the housing for providing a fluid exit path, the tube being manually extended and retracted. A channel is formed on the top surface of the housing for receiving the collapsible tube when the tube is in a retracted lateral position. An alternative embodiment of the fluid container exhibits a molded pocket formed beneath the bottom surface of a first housing for receiving a collapsible tube of a second housing when the collapsible tube of the second housing is in a retracted lateral position. Both the channel and the molded pocket facilitate vertical stacking of the containers.

Abstract: A spray pump apparatus typically employed in gardening and commercial applications wherein a charged liquid is sprayed in a garden environment or on a floor surface for removing spills, grease or stains. In its most fundamental embodiments the spray pump apparatus for use in spraying: fluids includes an outer housing and a pump assembly in mechanical communication with the outer housing for developing a pressure therein. An integral bladder assembly is mounted within the outer housing and comprises an integrally formed combination of a flexible bladder, a hose and a nozzle. The flexible bladder is subjected to the pressure developed by the pump assembly for expelling a fluid contained within the flexible bladder, wherein the integral bladder assembly is installed in and removed from the outer housing as the integrally formed combination.
