ABSTRACT:
A hose nozzle comprising a tubular body having female threads on one end portion thereof. The tubular body provides a hand grip portion adjacent the one end portion suitable to be grasped in one hand with the thumb naturally extended into an actuating position on an opposite end of the hand grip portion. The tubular body defines an interior water passage and has an inner annular ball valve seat facing toward the passage therein on which a ball valve is mounted for varying the flow rate of the water through the valve seat. A manually actuatable flow directing assembly is provided for receiving water flowing through the valve seat and for directing the same into variable stream formations. An actuating member is provided having a thumb-engaging portion extending in the actuating position for effecting pivotal movements of the actuating member about the pivotal axis of the ball valve by thumb engagement. The mounting of the ball valve and the actuating member is such that (1) the actuating member is retained in any position of pivotal movement into which it is moved by thumb engagement and (2) the ball valve is retained in a corresponding position for determining the variable flow rate of water under pressure through the valve seat.
