Definitions

• Figs 1 A to 1 C are schematic cross sectional side views of a preferred dispensing appliance made in accordance with the present invention, w herein the reservoir is respectivel ⁇ disconnected, partially connected and fully connected to the dispensing appliance,
• the device 1 is preferably hand-held, and therefore preferably comprises a holding means, which is more preferably integrated to the housing of the dispensing appliance 1 1
• the holding means may be any sort of handle 18 which will allow the user to pick up the device 1 and to carry it to the place where the spraying is to be carried out
• the handle 18 can be part of the reservoir 10 or of the housing of the dispensing appliance 11 It is likely that the device 1 will be carried around a whole room when a carpet is being cleaned, and/or will be manipulated in all directions during
• the reservoir 10 comprises at least one recess and/or protrusion 16 to fit into at least one corresponding protrusion and/or recess 17 of the device's dispensing appliance 1 1 , said reservoir 10 being releasably secured in a leak-tight manner into the dispensing appliance 11 such that fluid communication between said reservoir 10 and said means is established, only when said protrus ⁇ on(s) and recess(es) are fitted into each other, and said protrus ⁇ on(s) and said recess(es) 16 of said reservoir 10 hav e complementary shapes of said protrus ⁇ on(s) and/or recess(es) 17 of said dispensing appliance 1 1
• the reservoir 10 comprises at least one recess 16 that fits to a corresponding and complementary protrusion 17 of the dispensing appliance 1 1 , as shown in figures 1 to 4
• said protrus ⁇ on(s) and said recess(es) 16 of said reservoir 10 have
• the thickness of the membrane 14 can influence on the memory of the material
• the membrane 14 has a thickness less than 1 cm, more preferably, less then 6 mm, and even more preferably less than 4 mm, all thicknesses being measured in the portion of the membrane 14 which is comprised in the middle portion of said membrane 14, I e in the region which will be pierced (see figure 2)
