Abstract

Spray dispensing apparatus comprises primary (12) and secondary (16) reservoirs. Concentrate from the secondary reservoir (16) is mixed with diluent from the primary reservoir (16) and spray-dispensed. The secondary reservoir (16) is incorporated into a detachable pod (78) assembly which also comprises the spray nozzle (20) and the pump (40) for the secondary fluid. Multiple interchangeable pods (78) are provided and arranged to be mounted for operation in an upper portion of the apparatus and for storage in a lower portion thereof. A single trigger (24) drives pump means (38, 40) for both fluids.
