Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to methods and/or apparatuses involving an apparatus having a channel, an actuator, a mechanical stop, and a dial having nozzles and a gear. The dial is operable to rotate for selectively aligning each of the respective nozzles with the channel. The gear has a plurality of cogs and recessed regions between adjacent ones of the cogs, and is configured with the mechanical stop to prevent movement of the actuator when the dial is positioned such that none of the nozzles are aligned with the channel.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to apparatuses and/or methods involving a rotatable dial and a plurality of nozzles therein. The dial aligns each nozzle with a fluid supply channel. In some instances, a gear coupled to the dial has cogs and gaps between adjacent ones of the cogs along a rotational path of the gear. Certain aspects involve force feedback in which a flexible tab located in the rotational path of the gear engages with the cogs for providing resistive feedback. Other aspects involve audible feedback in which a flexible tab flexes in response to contact with the gear as it rotates, and snaps back into place after the gear is rotated past the flexible tab, creating an audible noise. Certain particular aspects involve utilization of the gears to prevent fluid from being dispensed when the nozzles are not aligned with the channel.
