Abstract: Water displays utilizing laminar flow streams to create dynamic arch-like displays are disclosed. The laminar flow nozzle is mounted on an assembly for changing the angle and repositioning the laminar flow nozzle so that the laminar flow stream appears to eminate from a fixed location at different angles, which allows varying the characteristics of the display in a dynamic manner. Simultaneous control of the nozzle position and angle with control of the pressure of water supplied thereto allows the stream to be varied to create a dynamic display with the stream returning to a sink region at a fixed position independent of the height of the water stream. Illuminating the laminar flow stream internally causes the same to glow like a fluorescent tube with the color being supplied thereto, changeable as desired. Intersecting laminar flow streams provide interesting water formations, with the intersection of two streams of different colors causing still a third color at the flared region of the intersection. Features of the invention are useable independently, all in the same apparatus, or in various combinations as desired.

Abstract: A system utilizing at least three separate water pumps for supplying water under pressure to a plurality of nozzles in a fountain display which provides a wide variety of spray heights of the various nozzles. The nozzles are spaced along a main water supply pipe and the pumps are connected to the main water supply pipe at spaced apart entry points along the pipe with a one-way check valve between each pump and the mainwater supply pipe. An independently controllable and incrementally variable gate valve is also located between each pump and the main water supply pipe. Additional versatility and variety of the sprays projected from the nozzles can be obtained by use of additional check valves located along the main water supply pipe between each of the entry points of water supplied by the pumps which pass water under pressure only in one or the other direction.

Abstract: A plastic fountain attachment for a faucet is either cast or injection molded in a single piece or fabricated from separate parts. A tubular body is adapted for attachment to the discharge end of a water faucet and has a discharge opening inclined to its axis. The body has a short wall portion and a diametrically opposed long wall portion extending between said upper and lower ends. A substantially flat closure member is flexibly attached to the outside surface of the short wall portion. The closure member extends downwardly from said short wall portion when unflexed so as not to impede water discharge. The closure member is sufficiently large and so located to enable it to cover the discharge opening when flexed. A fountain outlet directs a jet of water for drinking when the closure member is flexed to cover the discharge opening, the fountain outlet including a hole defined in the long wall portion of the tubular body.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for circulating water in a body of water including a simulated floating rock structure connected to a pump located remote from the body of water. Conduits place the pump, the body of water, and rock structure in communication so that water is drawn from the body of water and forced under pressure through the conduit connected to the floating rock structure. There is a nozzle element in the floating rock structure centrally located in the top of the floating rock structure connected to the conduit leading from the outlet of the pump so that water under pressure is forced through this nozzle. The conduit connected to the floating rock structure includes a slidable section that automatically increases or decreases the length of the conduit as the water level changes within the body of water. Valves are provided to control the flow of water so that the spray emanating from the nozzle element may be increased or decreased.

Abstract: A sound activated fountain display. A plurality of transducers are disposed on the bottom of the pool of a fountain display with the fountain being normally off. Whenever a coin is tossed into the fountain's pool, the sound waves generated by the coin are received by the transducers, activating the fountain display. By gating the responses of the various transducers, the area of the pool in which the coin was tossed may be identified. In this manner, the display may be caused to be directed to that area of the pool, customizing the display for that particular viewer. If desired, the fountain display may be in a central pool with separate "satellite" coin pools surrounding the fountain and for activating the fountain display.

Abstract: The presently invented three tier fountainhead comprises several assembly orientations of modified standard Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) plumbing parts to form three separate pressure chambers, each of which feed a different tier of water spray. Larger sized standard caps are joined to form the low pressure chamber; one or more intermediate sized caps are employed to form an intermediate pressure chamber; and a length of smaller standard sized PVC pipe is used to form the high pressure chamber which passes centrally through the low and intermediate pressure chambers and is modified with appropriate orifices to feed the low and intermediate pressure chambers. The high pressure chamber is capped at the upper end with a standard PVC cap with appropriate outlet orifices to form the upper tier. The low and intermediate pressure chambers include outlet orifices to form the lower and middle tiers respectively.

Abstract: A self contained fountain in the form of an antique hand pump on a stand. A motor in the pump body oscillates the pump handle up and down and this movement alternately actuates and deactuates a submerged electric pump in the fountain reservoir so that water is pumped from the pump spout in timed relation to the movement of the pump handle. The water drains from the receiving container back to the reservoir concealed in the pump stand.

Abstract: An arrangement of water pumps comprising two electric motor operated pumps for each of a plurality of formations of nozzles whereby the water flow from the pairs of pumps to the various formations of nozzles may be selectively controlled by pluralities of electric switches located in a remote station. Electric circuitry associated with the switches controls the electric current flow to the various pump motors in a manner whereby the height of the water sprays emitted from the respective nozzles is selectively controlled along with providing a generally universal control over the activation of individual, various groups and formations of nozzles to produce a very wide range of different rhythmic visual effects.
