  • Patent number: 6226920
    Abstract: A watering device includes a receptacle having a hollow interior arranged to hold water and to permit passage of water to an exterior of the main body at a rate sufficient to cause the water to form droplets on the exterior of the receptacle and to drip onto the soil surrounding a plant to be watered. Rather than using mounting hardware to suspend the watering device over the surface, the watering device is arranged to be supported by supporting elements that sit directly on the surface. The receptacle is in the shape of a character, with the supporting elements and a cap that permits the receptacle to be filled with water both having a shape consistent with the nature of the character represented by the shape of the receptacle main body.
