  • Patent number: 9108210
    Abstract: An apparatus providing relative rotation between a garden hose and a hand-held nozzle includes a nozzle main body and a fluid connection member that engages the hose. A lower saw gate is mounted within the fluid connection member and rotates with it. An upper saw gate is mounted within the nozzle main body and rotates with it. A spring urges the upper saw gate to bear against the lower saw gate. A plurality of teeth is formed in the lower saw gate and a mating plurality of teeth is formed in the upper saw gate. The spring holds the lower and upper saw teeth in engagement with one another when a user rotates the nozzle main body. The user squeezes a pivotally mounted handle to overcome the bias. The teeth disengage from one another, allowing the inherent bias of the hose to return the hose to its position of repose.
