Abstract: A pump actuator assembly for mounting on a disposable plastic container having a neck and a cap mounted on the neck. A spring trapped between the pump actuator and the cap. The spring formed from a tubular sleeve of elastic plastic material with longitudinally extending slits formed in the tubular sleeve. In one embodiment, the sleeve is independent of the cap and sleeve. In another embodiment, the sleeve is formed integrally with the cap. In a third embodiment, the sleeve is formed integrally with the pump actuator. In a fourth embodiment, the sleeve is hooked to the cap.

Abstract: A dispensing cap for a container, the cap being of the type which has a movable spout mounted on a nozzle having outlet passages. The spout is movable between one position in which it blocks flow through the outlet passages and another position in which it permits flow through the outlet passages. The improvement involves the additional formation of one or more discharge passages in the nozzle which are not controlled by the spout. Such additional discharge passages may be of the type which provide an angled discharge stream, a high pressure discharge stream, a mechanically broken up spray or a high volume discharge flow. A separate closure member may be provided for the additional discharge passages.
