Abstract:
A water emission control structure of a gardening pistol nozzle, said control structure comprising:a main body formed of a handle tube and a barrel in communication with said handle tube, said handle tube provided with a receiving slot attached thereto, and a tubular body located in said receiving slot such that said tubular body is in communication with said handle tube, said handle tube further provided at a bottom end with a hose connecting hole, a receiving cell contiguous to said hose connecting hole, and a water channel contiguous to said receiving cell, said water channel being smaller in diameter than said receiving cell; a water stopping stem disposed in said receiving cell of said handle tube in conjunction with a washer which is fitted over a top end of said water stopping stem and is located at the junction of said receiving cell and said water channel, said water stopping stem being provided at a bottom end with a spring fitted thereinto, said water stopping stem and said spring being located by a meshed plate which is located at the junction of said hose connecting hole and said receiving cell; a press key provided in an internal side with a push rod extending therefrom and having a tapered free end, said press key further provided in an underside with a unidirectional rack which is provided with a plurality of teeth and a stop tooth located at one end of said rack; and a recovery button provided with a tubular portion having a stop plate, said stop plate provided with two connection edges opposite in location to each other, said recovery button further provided with a retaining block engageable with said teeth of said rack of said press key, said recovery button further provided with a recovery spring which is fitted at one end over said tubular portion, and at other end over said push rod of said press key whereby said recovery button and said press key are disposed in said receiving slot of said handle tube such that said one end of said recovery spring is stopped by said stop plate of said recovery button, and that said push rod of said press key is put through said tubular portion of said recovery button, and further that said tapered free end of said push rod is in contact with said top end of said water stopping stem, and further that said two connection edges of said stop plate of said recovery button are retained in two retaining slots of said main body; said top end of said water stopping stem being pushed by said tapered free end of said push rod of said push key at such time when said press key is exerted on by an external force, thereby resulting in a displacement of said water stopping stem in the direction away from said water channel of said handle tube so as to allow water to enter said water channel from said hose connecting hole of said handle tube, said retaining block of said recovery button being forced by said recovery spring to mesh into one of said teeth of said rack of said press key at such time when said press key is relieved of the external force, said retaining block of said recovery button becoming disengaged with the tooth of said rack at the time when said recovery button is triggered, thereby causing said press key to be forced back to an original position thereof by said recovery spring such that said tapered free end of said push rod of said press key is in contact with said top end of said water stopping stem, and that said water channel of said handle tube is obstructed by said water stopping stem.
