Abstract:
A rotatable hose coupling for mounting in-line with a flexible hose coupled between a pool cleaner and a fluid pressure source, said rotatable hose coupling comprising:a first housing member;a second housing member defining a slide bore for axially and slidably receiving one end of said first housing member, said second housing member further defining first and second cam surfaces disposed in axially opposed and spaced-apart relation;at least one cam element carried by said first housing member in a position axially between said first and second cam surfaces defined by said second housing member, said at least one cam element being respectively engageable with said first and second cam surfaces upon relative axial displacement between said first and second housing members for effecting incremental part-circle relative rotation therebetween; andmeans for effecting relative axial displacement between said first and second housing members in response to cyclic on-off operation of the fluid pressure source.
