A fluid discharge apparatus for imparting a stream configuration to a current of fluid. The apparatus will allow a fluid dispenser, such as pump bottles or spray bottles that dispense lotions and clean ers, to provide the user with the ability to choose a spray configuration. The fluid discharge apparatus includes a nozzle (1) contain ing a passageway (2) having at least a receiving portion (3) with a substantially rectilinear cross-section and an issuing portio n (4) with a substantially curvilinear cross-section, such that a fluid current passing through the passageway emerges therefrom in a stream configuration. The nozzle (1) may be pivotably connected to a second nozzle (7). The second nozzle (7) is adapted for incorporation into a sprayer-type fluid dispenser, and contains a second passageway (8). Pivoting of the first nozzle (1) towards, and its consequent attachment to, the second nozzle (7), brings the first and second passageways (2, 8) into sealed communica tion. This permits the fluid current generated by the sprayer apparatus to be dispensed as either a spray, when the first nozzle (1) i s not attached to the second nozzle (7), or as a stream, when the first nozzle (1) is so attached.
