  • Publication number: 20200298253
    Abstract: A pressure sprayer nozzle includes an inlet channel for accepting liquid from a pressure sprayer, an outlet head and a plurality of liquid outlet portions. The outlet head is rotatable between: a first position in which a first of the outlet portions is in fluid communication with the inlet channel so that liquid can flow from the inlet channel to, and out of, the first of the outlet portions; and a second position in which a second of the outlet portions is in fluid communication with the inlet channel so that liquid can flow from the inlet channel to, and out of, the second of the liquid outlet portions. The first of the liquid outlet portions differs from the second of the liquid outlet portions to allow the selection of a first outlet spray type by rotating the outlet head.

  • Patent number: 6416009
    Abstract: A retractable hose reel assembly comprises a reel (2) rotatably mounted in a casing (1) and a torsion spring (8) for rotating the reel in a direction corresponding to winding of the hose on the reel (2). A ratchet (14) and pawl (18) prevent or limit rotational movement of the reel (2) in the winding direction. A lever (20) is manually movable to a locking position in which unwinding movement of the reel (2) is prevented, for example to prevent vandalism or to prevent a child pulling the hose from the reel and suffering discomfort or injury as a result of retraction of the hose by the spring (8).
