ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a novel design for a perforated hose sprinkler which enables the hose to automatically rewind itself after use and after being released from a secured position in the ground. The mechanism includes a frame member with a reel contained within the frame and rotatably supported thereon on a fixed shaft. The reel further comprises a central core section. A spring is fixedly secured at one end to the fixed shaft and fixedly secured at its other end to the core of the reel, and is wound between the fixed shaft and the core. A sprinkler hose which is generally rectangular in cross-section and contains a multiplicity of pin holes along its length is wound onto the reel. The frame further comprises a slotted member through which the sprinkler hose can pass and which serves to provide tension to prevent the hose from retracting and further provides an effective seal to prevent water from running into any portion of hose that remains unwound on the reel. The hose is sealed at the end attached to the reel and the water source is attached to the hose at the end remote from the reel. Molded-in spikes permit the frame to be inserted into the ground and an additional spike permits the remote end of the hose to be inserted into the ground while the hose is in use.
