Abstract
Abstract A plastic bottle is formed with a relatively slim, handle-like extension, which is pivotally and flexibly joined to the bottle, and that serves as an actuator for a spray pump or pump dispenser mounted on the bottle. The actuator is positioned from the bottle a distance such that the bottle forms a back hand rest, with the fingers extended to grip the actuator, and thus permit powerful stroking of the pump dispenser.
