Rib 76 and recess 77 coact to prevent accidental full withdrawal of button 64 from the cap. Index marks H and L on the top of button 64 indicate which spray pattern passage is aligned with opening 75.
  • interchangeably selective insert plugs such as shown at 54 and 55 in FIGS. l-5 is particularly advantageous in that it is less expensive to form the required spray pattern passage configuration in such small plugs that are inserted in proper orientation on the head than to form the passages in accurate selective disposition on a larger solid head such as in FIG. 6.
  • this phase of the invention enables production to more efficiently and inexpensively proceed by making all of the head buttons of the same structure, and separately form any desired number of insert plugs with different spray pattern passages, so that the basic head button structure may be assembled with any different combinations of available different spray pattern insert plugs.
