Abstract
A device for in situ churning and removal of animal manure by water jet action. Particularly, a tubular handle fitting for a garden hose. The tubular handle includes an inverted open-ended cup at its lower end with a transverse perforated plate positioned in the cup, such that the flowing water is jetted onto the manure so as to churn the manure forcing it into the lawn or ground surface and, thereby, eliminating the conventional necessity for removal and separate disposal of the manure.
Claims2
A water jet cleaning device comprising:
- A. an elongated tubular handle having a garden hose inlet fitting with rotatable valve at its upper end;
- B. an inverted transparent cup secured at said tubular handle bottom end with the bottom end extending into an axial hole defined in said cup, said cup being supported upon said tubular end such that the open cup end is presented outwardly of said tubular handle, said cup further including:
- i. an annular collar projecting axially from the inverted bottom thereof, so as to engage complementally the exterior surface of said tube end;
- and
- ii. an inner shoulder;
- C. a perforated plate supported as a transverse platform within said cup and complementally engaging said inner shoulder, so as to intersect water flowing through said handle and outwardly of said cup;
- and
- D. a reinforcing collar fitted over said tubular handle and said annular collar, such that the reinforcing collar bottom complementally engages the inverted cup bottom, said annular collar and said tubular handle.
