  • Patent number: 6986364
    Abstract: A water timer includes a housing, which is available with a water inlet and at least two water outlets. Some water channels are separately mounted between water inlet and water outlets. Some membranes are provided within the water channel to control the start/stop of water flow and a time set is installed onto the top of the housing and connected to a membrane via the help of a brake bar. The water inlet, two water outlets and water channel are integrated into the housing. Moreover, the water inlet is designed with a concave “”-shaped Y-branch at a first side of the housing, where it forms a first inlet, second inlet and a manifold branch. With an open lateral surface, the manifold branch is enclosed by a connecting seat. And, the exterior of connecting seat is applied for the linking of the water supply connector.

  • Patent number: 6820825
    Abstract: A lawn sprinkler comprises a connection pipe, and a spray angle adjustment structure mounted at one end of the connection pipe and formed of a circular distribution member, an adjustment member and a control member. The control member is actuated to turn by the adjustment member such that one or more of a series of arcuate rims of the control member block one or more of a series of arcuate through holes of the circular distribution member, thereby resulting in the sprinkling of water in various patterns.

  • Patent number: 6776189
    Abstract: A fluid control valve includes a main body and a switching member. The main body is provided with a chamber in which the switching member is rotatably disposed. The chamber is in communication with an inlet and two outlets. The switching member is formed of a connection rod and a horizontal disk. The connection rod is fastened to a control knob by which the switching member is actuated to turn. The horizontal disk is provided with two through holes via which the inlet is in communication with the outlets. The fluid control valve can be operated in four different ways, thanks to the horizontal disk of the switching member.

  • Patent number: 6712294
    Abstract: A gardening sprinkler includes a main body and a rotary spray head fastened to one end of the main body by a revolving mechanism having a pivoting base and a pivoting body. The pivoting base is extended from the one end of the main body and is provided with an elastic locating body. The pivoting body is fastened to the spray head and is provided with an arcuate rack, which is engaged with the elastic locating body of the pivoting base. As the pivoting body is turned on a pivot of the pivoting base, the elastic locating body moves from one gullet to another of the arcuate rack.

  • Patent number: 6460782
    Abstract: A sprinkler nozzle is formed of a main body, an inner cap, and an outer cap. The inner cap and the outer cap are fastened to the main body which is connected to the water source. The inner cap is provided with a plurality of water admission holes various in form. The outer cap is provided with a plurality of emission holes of various forms, two closing holes, and a number of mesh holes. Through the cooperation of the water admission holes of the inner cap and the emission holes, the closing holes, or the mesh holes of the outer cap, the sprinkler nozzle is capable of emitting water in various patterns.

  • Patent number: 6454187
    Abstract: A gardening pistol nozzle has a water emission control structure comprising a handle tube, a water stopping stem, a press key, and a recovery button. As the press key is pressed, the water stopping stem is forced to displace to allow entry of water from the handle tube into a barrel of the pistol nozzle. A continuous control of water emission of a predetermined magnitude is attained by meshing a retaining block of the recovery button into the teeth of a rack of the press key.

  • Publication number: 20020066878
    Abstract: A water flow timer comprising a main body, a water stopping membrane, a control rod, a bottom cover, a control member, a rotating member, a timing member, and a rotary cap, the timer is mechanically operated in such a way that the rotary cap is turned to actuate the control member to force the control rod to slide, thereby resulting in a gap between the water stopping membrane and a bottom opening of an inner chamber of the main body. The inner and the outer chamber of the main body are thus in communication with each other. As the rotary cap is turned, the torsion spring of the timing member is compressed to provide the rotary cap with a recovery force. The recovery of the rotary cap is delayed by an intermittent gear, so as to control the timing of the water flow.

  • Patent number: 6367716
    Abstract: A pistol nozzle is provided with a water emission controlling structure which is located at the water outlet of the main body of the pistol nozzle and is formed of an adjusting member and a shaft having a water emission hole. The shaft is actuated by the adjusting member to displace so as to align the water emission hole with a sleeve which is located between the main body and the nozzle head of the pistol nozzle. The amount of water emitted by the pistol nozzle depends on the extent to which the water emission hole of the shaft is aligned with the sleeve.
