Abstract

A method of manufacturing a trigger sprayer in which the spray head (2) is supported by the plunger (12) instead of the dip tubes (14) during movement of the spray head to the filling point so that the dip tubes do not become damaged during manufacture. The trigger sprayer may also be provided with a closure mechanism (fig. 9-11) which improves orientation of the spray head with respect to the container.
