The protective tube is expansible in a radial manner and extensible in an axial manner, wherein the protective tube wraps the hose. The sheath wraps the protective tube. The sheath includes elastic warps and non-elastic weft. The elastic warps extend parallel to the protective tube. The non-elastic wefts sorted into a first group and a second group. The non-elastic wefts in the first group extend around the elastic warps in a right-hand helical manner and in an S-shaped manner. The non-elastic wefts in the second group extend around the elastic warps in a left-hand helical manner and in an S-shaped manner.

Abstract: A sprinkler includes a handle, a nozzle, a tube, a valve and a switch. The nozzle is connected to the handle. The tube is made in the handle and includes a window, a main channel in communication with a channel made in the nozzle, and an extensive channel in communication with the main channel via an intersection. The valve includes a gate, a positioning portion formed on the gate, and a connective portion formed on the positioning portion. The valve is rotationally inserted in the main channel so that the connective portion extends out of the tube. The switch includes an arched wall, a fin formed on an arched face of the wall, and a connector formed on an upper edge of the wall and connected to the connective portion of the valve so that the switch is movable with the valve. The fin is movable in the window.

Abstract: An oscillating sprinkler includes a rotatable cylindrical mount, an impeller housing at one side of the rotatable body, an impeller in the impeller housing, a pair of sweep setting rings at the other side of the rotatable body, and a toggle valve in the rotatable body. The impeller housing has an outlet wall defines two impeller inlets therein. Each of the sweep setting rings has a radial wall provided with an arcuate slot. The rotatable body has a radial inlet wall provided with an aperture. The toggle valve is configured to control which of the impeller inlets in the outlet wall is opened. The toggle valve includes a rocker, a lever, an arm extending the lever and through the aperture in the inlet wall and the slots in the sweep setting rings and a snap bushing sleeved on the arm and having fingers snapped in a groove of the arm.

Abstract: A spray gun includes a gun body, a rotary plug and a button. The gun body has a valve seat extending between an inlet passage and an outlet passage thereof. The plug is accommodated in a chamber of the valve seat and has a fluid path, with the plug rotatable between an open position where the fluid path joins the inlet passage and the outlet passage and a closed position where the plug separates the inlet passage from the outlet passage. The button has two lobes joined to opposite ends of the plug. An elastomeric seal ring is sleeved around the plug. A backup ring adjacent to the seal ring is sleeved around the plug. The seal ring and the backup ring are held between a shoulder of the valve seat and the respective lobe of the button.

Abstract: A misting nozzle includes a body having a hole centrally defined therein and a flange radially extending therefrom to divide the body into a connecting section and a mounting section. At least two ditches are longitudinally and equally defined in the mounting section, and each laterally communicates with the hole. A distal end of the smooth portion is formed with an abutment and a round recess centrally defined in the abutment. At least two grooves are respectively equally defined in the abutment, wherein each groove is defined along a corresponding one of the tangents of the round recess and has two opposite ends respectively communicating with the round recess and a corresponding one of the ditches. A cap is airtightly mounted onto the mounting section of the body. A funnel-shaped hole is defined in a bottom of the cavity and communicates with the recess.

Abstract: A misting nozzle includes a body having a through hole longitudinally and centrally defined therein. A cap is longitudinally and airtightly mounted to the mounting section of the body. The cap includes a cavity centrally and longitudinally defined therein and a funnel-shaped hole centrally defined in the bottom of the cavity. A guide element is airtightly received in the smooth portion of the cavity. The guide element includes multiple ditches equally longitudinally defined in the outer periphery of the guide element. A round recess is centrally defined in the abutment and communicating with the funnel-shaped hole. Multiple grooves are respectively defined in the abutment. Each groove is defined along a corresponding one of the tangents of the recess and having two opposite ends respectively communicating with the recess and a corresponding one of the ditches.

Abstract: A flow controller includes a handle, first and second valves, and first and second levers. The handle includes an inlet, an outlet, a first chamber in communication with the inlet and outlet and a second chamber in communication with the outlet. A first end of the first valve is movable in the first chamber between a shutting position for shutting the inlet and an opening position for opening the inlet. A second end of the first valve is outside the first chamber. The first lever is operable to move the first valve to the opening position. The second valve is rotationally located in the second chamber for controlling the flow rate of water going through the outlet. The second lever is operable to rotate the second valve.

Abstract: A sprinkler includes an oscillating mechanism having a receptacle for receiving a water, and a casing rotatably attached to the receptacle. A device may be used for swinging the casing relative to the receptacle in reciprocating action, to allow the water to smoothly or swiftly flow out of the sprinkler tube in various kinds of water spraying patterns. Two ratchet gears are rotatably received within the receptacle and rotated in different directions, a barrel and a shaft are rotatably received within the receptacle and rotated in different directions, and a valve controlling device may be used for controlling the water to flow through the shaft, such as to flow through the shaft intermittently.
