Abstract: The present device relates to a dispensing and rinsing gun (100) for use with a hose member (209 and 210) to dispense either a diluted product or water through the same dispensing and rinsing gun (100) without having to attach different nozzles. A selector (156) operatively connected to the gun (100) allows the gun (100) to dispense either a diluted product or water by rotating the selector (156) to the appropriate push button valve (154) controlling the desired product or water, and the selector (156) may be operated with one hand. A trigger (103) controls the type of spray used when the dispensing and rinsing gun (100) is used in the water rinse mode.

Abstract: A dispenser (10) for a detergent (13) is disclosed. A housing (10) defining an inner cavity (12) holds the detergent (13). The cavity (12) has a circular opening. An insert (14) of a substance not chemically compatible with the detergent (13) is retained in the opening of the inner cavity (12). The insert (14) is retained by retaining ring (20) and a cover (26). In a preferred embodiment, the retaining ring (20) defines an inner aperture (21a) and has a plurality of generally upwardly extending resilient fingers (24) cooperatively connected to the retaining ring (20) proximate the inner aperture (21b). A cover (26) is cooperatively connected to and secured by the fingers (24), wherein said insert (14) is placed over said fingers (24) and said cover (26) over said insert (14), whereby said fingers (24) and said cover (26) control the dissolving of the insert (14 ) by controlling the surface area of the insert (14) exposed to the detergent solution.
