  • Watering device
    Patent number: 6257288
    Abstract: A watering device for use with an open basin includes a tank structure, a support structure and a nozzle. The tank structure is supported by the support structure and encloses a reservoir. Fluid flow through the nozzle is controlled by a surface seal between the nozzle and the open basin. When the watering device is overturned, it pivots about certain edges of the nozzle and tank structure until it lands in a stable rest position. The nozzle is then located above the water level in the reservoir so that the fluid cannot drain from the reservoir.
