Abstract
The present invention provides a sprinkler head that can attach to a hose, such as a common garden hose, in such a manner as to permit a pet, such as dog, to interact with the sprinkler head and allow the sprinkler head to roll over a ground surface. The sprinkler head may include a container body or elongated body that at least partially encloses a hollow interior volume and can generally withstand a compressive force of a dog bite. A plurality of holes may be formed in a sidewall of the elongated body that are configured to spray streams of pressurized water outward from the hollow interior volume. As the sprinkler head rolls on a ground surface, the elongated body may rotate and move the streams of pressurized water in corresponding rotational movement.

A rolling sprinkler head for a dog to roll on a ground surface, comprising:
- an elongated body having a sidewall at least partially enclosing a hollow interior volume and a plurality of holes extending through and spaced about the sidewall, wherein the plurality of holes are configured to spray streams of pressurized water outward from the hollow interior volume;
- and
- an end cap removably attached with an end of said elongated body, wherein said end cap includes a round shape with a peripheral edge that is configured to roll on a ground surface, such that the elongated body rotates and moves the streams of pressurized water in corresponding rotational movement.
A sprinkler head for rolling on a ground surface, comprising:
- a container body having a sidewall substantially surrounding a hollow interior volume of said container body, wherein said sidewall includes a plurality of holes extending through said sidewall in an arrangement for spraying streams of pressurized water from the hollow interior volume;
- an access cap removably attached with said container body and removable to access the hollow interior volume;
- and
- an inlet coupled with one of said container body and said access cap, wherein the inlet has a fitting configured to attach with a hose that supplies pressurized water to the hollow interior volume.
A rolling sprinkler head for rolling on a ground surface, comprising:
- an elongated body having a sidewall substantially surrounding a hollow interior volume of said elongated body, wherein said sidewall includes a plurality of holes extending through said sidewall in an arrangement for spraying streams of pressurized water from the hollow interior volume;
- a pair of end caps coupled with opposing ends of said elongated body, wherein one of said pair of end caps includes a fitting configured to attach with a hose that supplies pressurized water to the hollow interior volume;
- and
- wherein at least one of said elongated body and pair of end caps includes a round shape that is configured to roll on a ground surface, such that streams of pressurized water move in corresponding rotational movement.
