Abstract

WATERING CAN ROSES A watering can rose includes a stem portion (10) that can be engaged with the spout of a watering can for mounting the rose on the watering can, and a head portion (11). The head portion (11) contains a compartment divided into two parts by a dividing wall (18) with one part communicating with a surface having apertures of a given size and the other part communicating with a surface having apertures of a different size, and means (13, 15) operable to direct the flow of liquid into a selected part of the compartment.

Description

WATERING CAN ROSES Field of the Invention This invention relates to watering can roses. The requirement for watering different parts of the garden can vary and it is accordingly known to provide a watering can with two or more removable roses having apertures of different sizes so that water or other liquid can be delivered at an appropriate rate. This arrangement is, however, not very satisfactory as the rose or roses not in use tend to get mislaid and may be damaged. It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide an improved form of watering can rose. Summary of the Invention According to the present invention there is provided a watering can rose that includes a stem portion that can be engaged with the spout of a watering can for mounting the rose on the watering can, and a head portion, the head portion containing a compartment divided into two parts with one part communicating with a surface having apertures of a given size and the other part communicating with a surface having apertures of a different size, and means 2 operable to direct the flow of liquid into a selected part of the compartment, the operable means including a member that is movable between a pair of limiting positions, in one of which the flow of liquid is directed into one part of the compartment and in the other of which the flow of liquid is directed into the other part of the compartment, and the operable member also being positionable in an intermediate position in which the liquid flows into both compartments. The operable member is preferably rotatable between its different positions and preferably comprises an apertured disc formed as an integral part of a sleeve that serves to connect the stem portion and the head portion of the rose. The disc formed as an integral part of the sleeve preferably has three apertures and is preferably positioned adjacent a second disc formed with two apertures. Brief Description of the Drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view, from underneath, of a watering can rose fitted to the spout of a watering can, Figure 2 is a partly sectioned perspective view, from above, of the watering can rose of Figure 1, 194427AUCompSpec filed 1May2O13 EHB.doc 3 Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view of the head portion of the watering can rose, Figure 4 shows three possible positions of a rotatable valve member within the watering can rose, and Figure 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of the watering can rose. Description of the Preferred Embodiment As shown in the drawings, the watering can rose of the present invention includes a stem portion 10 and a head portion 11. The stem portion 10 has a free end of cylindrical form for fitment in the end of the spout of a watering can (not shown). The stem portion 10 will be readily removable from the spout for cleaning purposes. The part of the stem portion 10 adjacent the head portion 11 contains a valve 12 comprising a pair of apertured discs 13 and 14. Disc 13 acts as a rotatable valve member and is rotatable about the axis of the stem portion 10. It is formed with three circular apertures of equal sizes that are disposed at equal distances from the centre of the disc 13 and are spaced from one another by 900, whereas disc 14 is fixed and is formed with two apertures of the same size as the apertures in the rotatable disc 13 and spaced from one another by 1800. 194427AUCompSpec filed 1May2013 EHB.doc 4 The rotatable disc 13 is formed integrally with a cylindrical sleeve 15 that has a pair of inwardly extending ribs 16 that fit in outwardly facing channels formed in the adjacent ends of the stem portion 10 and the head portion 11, as shown in Figure 5. The cylindrical sleeve 15 thus serves to connect the stem portion 10 and the head portion 11 and is rotatable relative to the stem and head portions 10 and 11 to change the spraying pattern of the rose. The fixed disc 14 is formed as an integral part of the head portion 11 of the rose. The head portion 11 of the rose has a presented surface formed with two arrays of apertures, i.e. larger or coarse apertures on one side of a dividing line 17 and smaller or fine apertures on the other side of the dividing line. The compartment within the head portion 11 is divided into two halves by a dividing wall 18 that coincides with the dividing line and the dividing wall 18 extends to the fixed disc 14. The part of the compartment on one side of the dividing wall 18 communicates with the coarse apertures and the part of the compartment on the other side of the dividing wall 18 communicates with the fine apertures. The apertured part 19 of the head portion 11 of the rose can has a peripheral inturned lip 20 that serves to hold it in engagement with the remainder of the head portion 11. Although the coarse apertures are shown as being all of substantially the same size, it will be appreciated that it is possible to have a degree of variation in the sizes of the coarse apertures. It is also possible to have a degree of variation in the sizes of the fine apertures. 194427AU CompSpecjfiled 1May2013_EHB.doc 5 In use, see Figure 4, the cylindrical sleeve 15 can be rotated between a position (Position A) in which the flow of water or other liquid along the stem portion 10 is directed to the one side of the dividing wall 18 so as to emerge through the coarse apertures, and a position (Position B) in which the flow of water or other liquid is directed to the other side of the dividing wall 18 so as to emerge through the fine apertures. The cylindrical sleeve 15 can also be located in an intermediate position (Position C) in which the water or other liquid can flow to both sides of the dividing wall 18 so as to emerge through both the coarse and the fine apertures. The user can thus select the spray pattern that he or she requires and can change the spray pattern without having to remove the rose and replace it with an alternative rose. It is also possible to adjust the position of the edge of the spray pattern by rotating the rose relative to the spout of the watering can. If the sleeve 15 is positioned so that the water or other liquid emerges from the apertures on only one side of the dividing wall 18, a restricted or defined spray pattern is obtained enabling a user to save water when watering plants alongside a path. 194427AUCompSpec filed 1May2013_EHB.doc
