Abstract
A garden watering system including an elongate flexible tube formed in extendable and contractible helical coils having opposed ends, with a faucet connector attached to one end of the tube, and a spray nozzle or wand connected to the opposite end of the tube. The coiled tube permits a wide range of extension of the watering system during use.
Claims15
A garden watering system comprising an elongate flexible tube formed in extendable and contractible helical coils having opposed ends, said tube being comprised of polyurethane having a durometer hardness measurement in a range of 85 to 98 Shore A, an inner diameter in a range of from 0.125 to 0.375 inch and an outer diameter in a range of 0.245 to 0.5625 inch, formed in coils having an inner diameter in a range of from 0.5 to 2.5 inches, the tube being so formed that adjacent coils when in a contracted position are pressed against each other, a faucet connector coupled to one end of the tube, and a spray nozzle coupled to the opposite end of the tube.
A garden watering system comprising
- an elongate flexible polyurethane tube having a durometer hardness measurement of about 95 formed in extendable and contractible helical coils of about one inch inner diameter, said tube having in inner diameter of about 0.160 inch and an outer diameter of about 0.245 inch and having opposed ends,
- a faucet connector coupled to one end of the tube comprising an insert fitting held by an interference fit in its associated end of the tube and an internally threaded coupling rotatably mounted on said fitting, and
- a spray nozzle coupled to the opposite end of the tube.
A fluid delivery system comprising:
- an elongate flexible polyurethane tube having a durometer hardness measurement of about 95 formed in extendable and contractible helical coils of about one inch inner diameter, said tube having an inner diameter of about 0.160 inch and an outer diameter of about 0.245 inch and having opposed ends, the tube being so formed that adjacent coils when in a contracted condition are pressed against each other, the tube has a selected contracted length and is manually extendable to a length at least 6 times said contracted length;
- a connector coupled to one end of the tube for connecting the tube to a source of pressurized fluid;
- a strain relief sleeve tightly surrounding said tube in the region of said connector and extending axially of said tube a distance beyond said connector, and
- a spray nozzle coupled to the opposite end of the tube.
