Abstract: The self-contained miniature laminar ornamental fountain shown in FIG. 1 comprises an enclosure and water reservoir, 5, a pump, 1, flow control means, 3, pipe or tubing means 5 to conduct water from the pump, 2, to a laminar nozzle, 6. Water in the reservoir, 1, enters the pump, 2, where it is pressurized, thence through the adjustable valve or flow control means, 4, through the tubing, 5, to the laminar nozzle, 6. The laminar stream, 7, emanating from the laminar nozzle, 6, forms a graceful arch and then falls back into the reservoir, 1, to repeat the cycle. In another embodiment of the invention the fountain includes one or more additional laminar or non-laminar nozzles nozzles. In another embodiment the fountain above in which the laminar nozzle(s) contain internal lighting means for producing lighted laminar streams. In another embodiment in the fountain, the laminar stream(s) are interrupted to form jets of water which appear to leap from place to place.

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 showerhead which may be utilized as a source of illumination includes a source of illumination which is efficiently coupled to individual ones of a plurality of water sprays. In an exemplary embodiment, a plurality of fiber-optic members transmit light from one or more individual light sources to corresponding ones of a plurality of individual shower sprays or nozzles. Light from the source of illumination is thus transferred to and is transmitted through a plurality of individual water sprays.

Abstract: An evaporative cooling unit that sprays a water mist into the air to cool the air by evaporation of the water mist is disguised as to its function and purpose by including the misting nozzles and water supply conduits in a decorative structure, such as an artificial flower arrangement or plant. The misting unit of the invention includes a base and a decorative structure extending from the base. A water conduit extends through the base from a base end with a fitting for attachment to a source of pressurized water such as a garden hose, into the decorative structure where it ends in at least one decorative structure end with a misting nozzle thereon. The base may take the form of a flower pot with the decorative structure taking the form of flowers or a plant extending from the flower pot.

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.
