ABSTRACT:
A floating fountain that includes of a tubular, hollow base assembly that can be connected to a pressurized source of fluid, a primary nozzle member located centrally to the base assembly, and a plurality of secondary nozzle members located on the base assembly. Each nozzle member is connected to the base assembly such that pressurized fluid may be communicated from the base assembly to the primary nozzle member and the secondary nozzle members in a manner that allows the pressurized fluid to be organized into separate streams of fluid, which extend from each respective nozzle member. A float body is affixed to a bottom side of the base assembly to provide buoyancy to the floating fountain device. Additionally, an infinitely variable valve is included between the pressurized source of fluid and the base assembly so that the pressure at which the pressurized fluid enters the base assembly and is provided to each nozzle member may be variably controlled.
