Abstract: An apparatus for dissolving and dispensing liquid dissolvable material includes a container having a mixing chamber defined therein. The apparatus also includes a body removably secured to an upper portion of the container. The body has a fluid inlet, a first fluid outlet, a second fluid outlet, and a central passage defined therein. The central passage is in fluid communication with each of the fluid inlet, the first fluid outlet, and the second fluid outlet. The central passage is also in fluid communication with the mixing chamber such that each of the fluid inlet, the first fluid outlet, and the second fluid outlet is in fluid communication with the mixing chamber. Moreover, the apparatus includes a cap secured to the first fluid outlet of the body so as to prevent fluid from advancing through the first fluid outlet. Yet further, the apparatus includes a sprinkler assembly secured to the second fluid outlet of the body.

Abstract: A valve has an elongated body open-ended, with a bore with a center line extending from one end of the body to the other. The bore is interrupted by a fluid tight partition, on both sides of which, ports extend through the wall of the body. An elliptical seat is formed on the outer surface of the body between the ports, the seat or channel being diagonal as viewed in side elevation with respect to the bore center line. A sleeve is rotatably mounted on the body. The sleeve has a smoothly cylindrical bore extending from an inlet end to a diagonal, radially outwardly extending annular shelf, between the first cylindrical bore and a second bore that is radially larger than the first bore. Channel-defining ribs extend parallel to the center line, from the shelf to a point short of the outlet end of the sleeve. The ribs have a radially inner face formed on the same radius as or slightly larger radius than the first bore.

Abstract: An oscillating sprinkler adjustable to selectively alter and adjust the spray pattern as desired is provided. Adjustment is provided by an internal selectable cam connected to an external rotary dial at the distal end of the sprinkler. Placing the spray adjustment dial at the distal (non-hose) end of the sprinkler minimizes the chances of the operator getting wet while selecting the desired spray pattern while the sprinkler is in operation.
