PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Combined Rose and Jet Terminals for Garden Hose
Pipes.
I, CHARLES DARRAI, of Miller Street, Manchester, Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
I construct my improved combined rose and jet terminal with a valve body
fitted with either a sliding plug or with the usual tapered plug similar to a plug
cock.
A pair of passages are formed through this valve body one communicating with
the interior of the rose in the ordinary manner and the other fitted with a tube
which is continued forwards and passes through a hole in the centre of the rose to
the outside and thus constitutes the jet orifice or nozzle.
It will now be apparent that by having either a sliding piston fitted to this valve
body and capable of sliding therein so as to bring a port or passage (formed trans-
versely through the centre of the piston) either opposite the rose or opposite the
jet outlet passage that the water can be supplied to aud caused to stream from either
the one or the other as required.
In the case of a plug cock two separate passages are so arranged in the plug that
by turning the latter a communication may in one position be opened with the rose,
and in another position with the jet whilst an intermediate position closes both such
outlet passages.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Combined Rose and Jet Terminals for Garden Hose
Pipes.
I, CHARLES DARRAH, of Miller Street, Manchester, Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of my said invention, and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
I construct my improved combined rose and jet terminals with a valve body fitted
with either a sliding plug or with the usual tapered plug similar to a plug cock as
hereinafter described.
On the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is a side exterior view and Fig. 2 a side sectional view of my improved
combined rose and jet terminal.
In performing my invention I employ a valve body a provided with passages b
and 6 the former communicating with the interior of the rose c and the other bl
with a tube d which is continued forwards through the rose jet to the outside and
so constitutes the jet orifice of my improved apparatus.
el
Within this valve body and provided on one side with outlet orifices or ports e,
and on the other side with inlet orifices, a plug or piston g is fitted. This plug
or piston g is also capable of sliding up and down so as to bring one of the said
orifices or ports e e' formed therein either opposite the rose outlet 6 or opposite the
jet outlet 6 formed in the valve body and so that the water can be caused to issue
through the rose and jet as required.
To give the plug a constant tendency to rise to the position indicated in Figs. 1
and 2 I sometimes provide the under side thereof with a series of fine holes h (seen

page_text: more clearly in Fig. 3) so that the water passing through the plug shall find its
way beneath and to force the plug upwards. And 1 provide a headed spindle i
(passing to the outside as illustrated) by means of which the plug can be depressed
or forced downwards the water acting as a spring to force it up again.
In lieu of the water arrangement 1 employ a spiral spring placed within the
space beneath the plug or upon the length of the spindle i.
It will be observed that the plug might be caused to travel a greater distance
and so act as a cut off valve.
The spindle i being furnished with a cupped leather to prevent lenkage.
To prevent the plug turning round and to ensure the orifices in the same coming
opposite the orifices in the valve body employ a square stud one end of which
passes through a square hole formed in the plugg as illustrated whilst its other end
is rivetted or otherwise secured to the valve body the stud being long enough to
allow of the rise and fall of the plug.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is: 1
1. The employment of a valve body provided with a sliding plug or its equivalent
with interchanging orifices substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described
and illustrated on the accompanying drawing.
2. In a combined rose and jet terminal for garden hose or horticultural purposes
constructing the valve body with two outlet orifices one leading to the rose and the
other to the jet terminals and fitting the same with a sliding plug provided with
corresponding passages capable of being brought into play as hereinbefore described
and illustrated on the accompanying drawing.
