  • Patent number: 6568610
    Abstract: A flexible water spray wand for connection to a standard garden hose, having a housing connectable at a lower end to the garden hose and at an upper end to a flexible tube assembly connected at an opposite end to a spray nozzle. The pistol grip housing includes a water flow control valve such as a trigger mechanism operatively connected to a water valve for controlling the flow of water from the nozzle of the wand. The flexible tube assembly includes a flexible outer ribbed tube and an inner flexible tube for carrying the water, each connected to the handle and the nozzle by fittings. The position of the flexible tube assembly is held by a bendable metal rod which extends therethrough so as to enable the flexible tube assembly to be bent such that the water spray wand directs the water as desired to reach non-readily accessible places such as overhead plants and for flushing leaves from gutters.
