Abstract:
1. A water dumping apparatus comprising: a base having a top, bottom, front side, back side and opposing right and left sides, configured for attachment with a generally vertical support apparatus; an open top container configured to hold a dousing material and generally having front side, back side, bottom, and opposing side portions wherein the front side, back side, and opposing side portions of the container extend from the bottom of the container upward toward atop edge of the container, wherein in a closed position the front side and opposing side portions of the container rise approximately vertically from the bottom of the container upward toward the top edge, wherein the back side of the container rises substantially outward and upward from the bottom of the container toward the top edge such that the top edge at the back side of the container extends further outward and away from the bottom of the container than the top edge at the front side and opposing sides of the container, and wherein the bottom of the container is attached with the base by a hinged connection such that the container may be rotated backward on the hinged connection from the closed position to an open position, wherein in the closed position the container is positioned substantially upright and over the base and in the open position the container is rotated backward on the hinged connection to release the dousing material from the open top, a target connected with the front side of the container, a mechanism for adjusting a tipping point of the container, and a tube connected at one end with the container by a swivel connector at a lower portion of one of the opposing side portions of the container substantially adjacent to the back side of the container and extending downward in a substantially vertical direction, the tube being configured for connecting at the opposite end with a standard garden hose and having an on/off valve, wherein the swivel connector allows the tube to swivel thus preventing the tube from inhibiting the rotation of the container from the closed position to the open position when the tube is connected at one end with the container and at the opposite end with a standard garden hose.
