Abstract
A pool nozzle assembly according to one embodiment includes a base having a hollow interior, an open first end, an open second end that is configured for securement to a wall of a pool. The pool nozzle assembly including a nozzle including a hollow ball portion and an elongated extension that protrudes radially outward from one end face of the hollow ball portion. A cover is configured to mate with the base to capture the ball portion between the cover and the base, the cover having an opening through which the elongated extension passes through.
Claims17
A pool nozzle assembly comprising:
- a base having a hollow interior, an open first end, an open second end that is configured for securement to a wall of a pool;
- a nozzle including a hollow ball portion and an elongated extension that protrudes radially outward from one end face of the hollow ball portion, wherein the elongated extension has a fixed 90 degree elbow shape and has a distal opening for discharging water into the pool;
- and
- a cover that is configured to mate with the base to capture the ball portion between the cover and the base, the cover having an opening through which the elongated extension passes through such that the elongated extension is located both internal to the cover and external to the cover;
- wherein a section of the hollow ball portion passes through the opening of the cover and is located outside of the cover;
- wherein the nozzle, including the hollow ball portion, is rotatable relative to the base during use when the cover is completely attached to the base;
- wherein the base has a hollow interior space having a first curved section that seats against an inner section of the ball portion and the cover has a hollow interior space having a second curved section that seats against an outer section of the ball portion, the first curved section abutting the second curved section when the cover is completely attached to the base.

A pool nozzle assembly comprising:
- a base having a hollow interior, an open first end, an open second end that is configured for securement to a wall of a pool, wherein the base has a socket section defined at the open first end and a proximal section defined at the open second end, the base having a through hole that has a uniform diameter in the proximal section and has a variable diameter in the socket section;
- a nozzle including a hollow ball portion and an elongated extension that protrudes radially outward from one end face of the hollow ball portion, wherein the hollow ball portion and the elongated extension are formed as a single integral part, wherein the elongated extension has a fixed 90 degree elbow shape and has a distal opening for discharging water into the pool, wherein the hollow ball portion is received within only the socket section of the base;
- and
- a cover that is configured to mate with the base to capture the ball portion between the cover and the base, the cover having an opening through which the elongated extension passes through such that the elongated extension is located both internal to the cover and external to the cover with an interface between the hollow ball portion and the elongated extension being located internal to the cover;
- wherein the nozzle, including the hollow ball portion, is rotatable and pivotable relative to the base to permit the nozzle to rotate 360 degrees but also move up and down and left and right relative to the base during use when the cover is completely attached to the base;
- wherein the base has a hollow interior space having a first curved section that seats against an inner section of the ball portion and the cover has a hollow interior space having a second curved section that seats against an outer section of the ball portion, the first curved section abutting the second curved section when the cover is completely attached to the base.
