Abstract
A portable hose stand system enables the user to project a stream of water from a water hose or hose nozzle in a fixed direction. A hose receiver is configured to receive and retain a hose and is coupled with pivot to allow adjustment of a desire water flow direction and a pivot retainer locks in a desired position. The hose receive is configured on an extended end of a hose extension that extends from a stand body. Retractable legs extend down from the stand body and pivot away from each other to provide a stable base. Water flow may be controlled through the use of a motion sensor valve. Lastly, a wall mount serves as a receiver for the portable hose stand system as a faucet and/or shower.
Claims13
A portable hose stand system comprising:
- a) a portable hose stand comprising:
- i) a stand assembly comprising:
- a stand body;
- an extension leg:
- retractable legs coupled with the stand body;
- wherein the retractable legs are configured to extend down from the stand body and support the stand body in an elevated position above a ground surface;
- ii) a hose receiver configured to couple with a hose;
- and
- iii) a nozzle pivot coupled with said hose receiver and configured to adjust an orientation of said hose;
- iv) a hose nozzle;
- v) a motion sensor valve configured between the hose receiver and the hose nozzle, and comprising:
- a conduit having an inlet for coupling with the hose and an outlet for coupling with the hose nozzle;
- a valve coupled with the conduit;
- a valve actuator coupled with the valve and configured to open and close the valve;
- and
- a motion sensor comprising a light emitter and light receiver, the motion sensor valve comprising a C-shaped recess, wherein the light emitter is located on one end of the recess and the light receiver is configured on an opposite end of the recess such that the light emitter creates a sensor curtain of light that spans the C-shaped recess and is received by the light receiver;
- and
- wherein the valve actuator is configured to open the valve when the motion sensor detects motion within the sensor curtain.
