Abstract:
A swimming pool fountain including a bracket that is easily connected to the water supply of the swimming pool and is secured in a stable position relative to the wall of the pool has been provided. Means are provided for changing the vertical elevation of the fountainhead to the desired level relative to the water level of the pool. Also, the arrangement is such that it minimizes the problem of injury to swimmers and pool circulation plumbing by providing for separation upon a load being imposed on the structure. The same connection facilitates removal of the fountain structure from the pool if it should be desired and use can easily be made to the fountainhead to change the artistic aspects of the fountain.
Abstract:
A device for the ornamental display of the interaction of fire and water allowing the spray of a water fountain to be combined with flame from a gas burner is described. The device includes one or more gas burners configured amongst one or more water dispersion assemblies. The water streams from the nozzles of the water dispersion assemblies of the fountain can be directed toward, through, and over the flames originating from the gas burners. The flames originating burners are protected from being extinguished by a water shield. The water shield is positioned in such a manner to influence the characteristics of the flame produced by the burner while still protecting the flames' integrity. The water and fire aspect of the device can operate independently providing a fire source with a reflecting pool or a water fountain absent the flames.
Abstract:
A portable liquid recirculating display device including a housing with a cavity to contain a liquid, a pump to impel the liquid, and at least one laminar stream generator located within the cavity and fluidly connected to the pump.
Abstract:
A portable relaxation and therapy device or kit includes a liquid retention basin having a bottom wall and a perimeter wall upstanding from the bottom wall to define at least one liquid chamber therewithin. A waterfall is provided having a reflecting surface extending generally upwardly from the retention basin to a liquid dispersing waterfall ledge thereabove. The device or kit includes a pump disposed in the liquid chamber in communication with a tube for directing liquid in the retention basin upwardly to the waterfall ledge. The waterfall ledge causes liquid to cascade downwardly to the liquid chamber of the retention basin in front of the reflecting surface of the waterfall wall. The device also includes a cover for the retention basin disposed over the liquid chamber so as to overlie and substantially isolate from view liquid in at least a portion of the retention basin. With this arrangement, the cover permits liquid cascading downwardly from the waterfall ledge in front of the reflecting surface of the waterfall wall to return to the liquid chamber.
Abstract:
A children's water toy that has a base unit for directing flow of a fluid in a substantially vertical direction and a spraying unit configured to receive fluid from the base member and rebound the fluid to direct it out of the bottom of the spraying unit so that the spraying unit is maintained aloft by the fluid pressure.
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.
Abstract:
An underground watering system including a reservoir having a water inlet and a water outlet, a float control connected to the water inlet for maintaining a water level in the reservoir, a fertilizer container supported on the reservoir having an opening therein communicating with reservoir by which fertilizer may be added to water within the reservoir, and at least one water soaking hose connected to the reservoir water outlet.
Abstract:
A system for waterfall construction and assembly designed for and intended for use by a user comprising of a kit of pre-designed, engineered and manufactured parts wherein each constituent part, when assembled by a user, constitutes a complete waterfall assembly. Primary components of the waterfall system include a remote reservoir, remote pump located in or adjacent to a remote located reservoir, an interim basin, an upper distribution basin, and a user furnished and selected waterfall facing material. Water is circulated distributed and regulated within the upper distribution basin and interrupted in the interim basin to enhance sound prior to it returning to a remote located reservoir to be re-circulated.
