Abstract: A telephone cord reel according to the teachings of the present invention is shown as including a non-metallic housing base with end walls and divider walls separating a cord reel with a spring activated recoil action from a copper clad disk rotatable with the cord reel. Insulated positive and negative wires extend from the cord reel into a connecting tube where they separate at connecting wires which go to opposite sides of the disk. Copper brushes contacting the rotating disk on each side bring the current through a divider wall to a phone jack which allows connection to the phone housing. Alternate means are provided to secure the unit in or on a wall with alternate covers which have exit holes for the phone cord with means to brake the recoil action of the reel.

Abstract: A water applicator unit according to the teachings of the present invention is shown as including a cylindrical mixing tank fixed to a parallel pair of support tubes which extend above the top as handles and below the tank as legs leading to a pair of wheels. A water pipe attachable to a garden hose at the top, extends under the mixing tank to a spreader tube between the wheels at the bottom. A spreader plate held on the support tube and the spreader tube bends a lower end in spaced relation down over the spreader tube to part the grass as the water drops through holes in the spreader tube directly to the roots of the grass. Carried on cleats on the top of the spreader plate is a short hose and sprayer used to water shrubs and leads from the water pipe through a shut-off valve. The mixing tank also connects to the water pipe from a T-joint through a control valve in the lower end and is used when a fertilizer application is needed.
