Flexible Watering Hose Attachment

摘要

A water hose attachment having a flexible arm which may be articulated in any desired direction and maintain the position without the need for additional support. The arm is made up of multiple segmented rigid couplings in a ball and socket design. This ball and socket tubing allows superior flexibility of the arm such that the user may manipulate the direction of water flow by bending the arm in any direction of his choice.

主权项

1. A watering hose attachment, comprising:
a) a handle having a water inlet located at a proximal end, a water outlet located at a distal end, and a water channel within the handle which connects the inlet and the outlet; b) an articulating arm having a proximal end which is in connection with the water outlet and a distal end which is mated to a spray nozzle, the articulating arm comprising a first segment and a second segment, with each segment comprising:
a first hollow truncated sphere having an outer surface and an inner surface;a second hollow truncated sphere having an outer surface and an inner surface;a hollow, annular waist section having an outer surface and an inner surfacewherein the first and second hollow truncated spheres are joined together by the annular waist section with the outer surfaces of the first and second hollow truncated spheres merging with the outer surface of the hollow annular waist section and the inner surfaces of the first and second hollow truncated spheres merging with the inner surface of the hollow annular waist sectionwherein the radius of curvature of the inner surface of the second hollow truncated sphere is slightly greater than the radius of curvature of the outer surface of the first hollow truncated sphere, such that the first hollow truncated sphere is partially contained within the second hollow truncated sphere.
