  • Patent number: 6050501
    Abstract: A Recreational Water Sprinkler apparatus includes a manifold having a water inlet and a plurality of manifold outlets. A plurality of elongated flexible discharge hoses are connected to the manifold outlets. The hoses are sufficiently long and flexible that when water is supplied at conventional household pressures, the water is discharged through the discharge hoses thereby causing the hoses to gyrate and whip back and forth in a random manner relative to the manifold, thus spraying water randomly in all directions within a hemispherical space around and above the manifold.
