ABSTRACT:
A hose nozzle allowing one hand control for water stream pattern and flow rate is disclosed. The hose nozzle has a tubular body having a connector end for mating with the connector end of a hose. A hand grip having a plurality of finger notches is located around the tubular body. The hand grip allows the nozzle to be held between a user's fingers and palm. An outer sleeve member and an annular beveled collar are located in sufficient proximity to the hand grip to allow manual actuation by a user's index finger and thumb. The outer sleeve member and the annular collar may be extended or retracted by rotation. The outer sleeve member has a closed end wall with an aperture. An inner stem is located within the outer sleeve and is in fluid communication with the tubular body. The inner stem has an orifice which allows water to flow out of the inner stem and through the aperture when the outer cylinder is extended. Water flow is controlled by rotating the annular collar to permit water to flow through the tubular body, the inner stem, orifice and out of the aperture of the outer sleeve member.
