Definitions

  • the present invention relates to garden watering devices for selective use in handheld and ground-based operations, comprising a device body defining a water inlet and including a handle and at least one water distribution member coupled with the device body and adapted to spray water in multiple patterns.
  • a device capable of watering plants that can serve a multitude of functions.
  • a device that can serve as a lawn watering device as well as a spray device for washing automobiles, pets, and other outdoor surfaces.
  • a device that serves as both a handheld watering device and a ground based lawn sprinkler thus eliminating the need to own multiple watering devices that each serves a particular function.
  • Having a single device capable of serving multiple watering functions would be advantageous for multiple reasons.
  • the water shut off (the hose bib) is adjacent to the dwelling or building.
  • the operator must therefore walk back to the hose bib and shut off the water supply in order to exchange devices. If the residual water pressure has not been discharged, the hose may spray on the operator as the device is disconnected.
  • these separate devices for different watering tasks must be retrieved and stored upon each device exchange performed by the operator.
  • Another point of difficulty for the operator may be experienced by individuals that have physical limitations with respect to their ability to twist or grab small objects such as a hose fitting. Connecting the hose can be especially difficult when the fitting is wet or the strength of the connection has been increased by the pressure of water running through the line.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,160,093 to Battaglia describes a multi-purpose handheld watering device featuring two sprayer heads, one of which is oriented in a forward direction when the device is to be used in handheld operation, and the other oriented upwardly for when the device is operated as a ground based lawn sprinkler.
  • the device also features a pivoting spike which may be folded into the sprinkler body or pointed outward, providing the device with a means of support for when the device is used as a ground based lawn sprinkler.
  • the garden watering device of the invention is characterized in that the device includes a plurality of support legs, each support leg pivotably coupled with the handle and moveable to a respective first position against the handle to cooperate with the handle and together form a member that is grasped to direct the at least one water distribution member for handheld operation, each support leg further being moveable to a respective second position away from the handle to contact a ground surface together with the handle and form a ground-contacting support structure to support the at least one water distribution member for ground-based operation.
  • FIGS. 33-39 An embodiment of a garden watering device 1500 in accordance with the invention is a water pistol with tripod support as shown in FIGS. 33-39 .
  • the pistol-style garden watering device 1500 is configured to be used for multiple sprinkling operations, including handheld and ground-based operations.
  • the garden watering device 1500 includes a body member 1501, a discharge head or pistol barrel 1506, and a support structure 1502.
  • the support structure 1502 is coupled to the body member 1501 at a hinge 1513 and rotates between a first position flush against the body member 1501 for handheld operation and a second position extended away from the body member 1501 for ground-based operation. In the first position, the support structure 1502 cooperates with the body member 1501 to form a handle 1514.
  • the garden watering device 1500 may be used in a handheld pistol-style sprinkler operation.
  • the body member 1501 of the garden watering device 1500 includes a water inlet 1505 attached to a handle 1514.
  • the handle 1514 couples the water inlet 1505 to the discharge head 1506.
  • a trigger 1507 for activating the flow of the water through the handle 1514.
  • a discharge orifice 1509 (shown in FIG. 39 ) through which water from the handle 1514 travels out of the discharge head 1506.
  • a dial 1510 containing a plurality of flow outlets 1512 is coupled to the discharge head 1506 over the discharge orifice 1509.
  • the dial 1510 can be rotated to allow the operator to select from a variety of different outlets 1512 and water distribution patterns suited for different purposes.
  • the support structure 1502 includes a pair of support legs 1511 movably attached to the handle 1514 such as at hinges 1513.
  • the support legs 1511 extend along the length of the handle 1514 on an opposite side from the trigger 1507.
  • the support legs 1511 lie flush with the handle 1514 in corresponding receptacles 1515 to make a continuous body member 1501.
  • the support legs 1511 do not interfere with the use of the garden watering device 1500 as a handheld pistol-style sprinkler.
  • the pair of support legs 1511 may be rotated out away from the receptacles 1515 in the handle 1514 to the second position illustrated in FIGS. 36-38 .
  • the handle 1514 and each of the support legs 1511 together form a support structure such as in the form of a tripod for the garden watering device 1500 in a ground-based operation.
  • the support legs 1511 and handle 1514 are configured to support the discharge head 1506 on any appropriate horizontal surface, such as a ground surface without the use of a pivoting spike or other apparatus.
  • the discharge head 1506 is also supported so as to be directed upwardly or generally perpendicular to the level surface.
  • the pattern of sprinkler spray upward can be controlled by rotating the various flow outlets 1512 on the dial 1510 into fluid communication with the discharge orifice 1509 in the discharge head 1506.
  • a flow outlet 1512 which only sprays over half the discharge head 1506 may be selected when the garden watering device 1500 is positioned at the edge of a lawn. Consequently, the support legs 1511 allow the garden watering device 1500 to function as a ground-based sprinkler on any type of ground surface, including rocky terrain or uneven surfaces.
  • the garden watering device 1500 also includes a locking collar 1508 configured to keep the trigger 1507 depressed during ground-based operation.
  • the locking collar is pivotally coupled to the handle 1514 at one side of the trigger 1507 and extends generally around the trigger 1507 to the other side of the handle 1514.
  • the handle 1514 On the other side of the handle 1514 from the pivotal connection, the handle 1514 includes a locking projection 1523.
  • the locking collar 1508 includes a collar end 1522 which engages the locking projection 1523 in a snap fit to place the locking collar 1508 in a locked position. In the locked position, the snap fit engagement of the collar end 1522 and the locking projection 1523 holds the trigger 1507 in a depressed state and allows for continuous flow of water through the handle 1514 to the discharge head 1506.
  • the locking collar 1508 may be moved to an unlocked position by disengaging the collar end 1522 from the locking projection 1523, which then allows the trigger 1507 to function normally with manual manipulation for handheld operation.
  • FIG. 39 is a cross sectional side view of the garden watering device 1500 taken along line 39-39 in FIG. 35 , illustrating the interior components of the garden watering device 1500.
  • the handle 1514 includes an interior channel 1516 through which water flows from the water inlet 1505 to the discharge head 1506.
  • an interior valve 1520 controls the flow of water through the handle 1514 and the garden watering device 1500.
  • a spring 1517 located in the interior channel 1516 biases a piston 1518 into engagement with the interior valve 1520 to close water flow though the handle 1514.
  • the trigger 1507 pushes the piston 1518 against the bias of the spring 1517 to open the interior valve 1520 and let water flow pass through the handle 1514.
  • the discharge orifice 1509 in the discharge head 1506, which allows flow of water from the handle 1514 to one of the plurality of flow outlets 1512 in the dial 1510.
