I CARL SACHS of Markscheider Kronprinzen Strasse Zabrze, Germany Manu-
facturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to construct a rose for a watering can, hose piping,
shower baths and the like in such a manner that the perforated portion can be
easily got at ou the inside for removing bits of debris which accumulate and block
up the perforations.
According to my invention the rose or perforated portion is connected to the
enlargement of the spout by means of a hinge or hinges and fastened by a catch or
catches, and the two parts are connected together in a watertight manner by an
india rubber ring or the like being placed between them at their edges, or the
hinges may be dispensed with and lugs be fitted on the rose for engaging lugs or a
ring on the enlarged portion of the spout or the ring may be fitted on the rose for
engaging lugs on the spout, the rose being kept fixed on the spout by a catch or
catches.
By this invention the cleansing of the rose, which in ordinary watering cans is
either impossible or can only be managed with difficulty, is here easily and quickly
accomplished in a very easy manner.
Dated this 10th day of July 1894.

1, CARL SACHS, of Zabrze, East Saxony, in the Empire of Germany, Mining
Surveyor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
samo is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
The object of the present invention is to provide a rose for watering cans and
other articles in which the perforated head or disc is capable of being separated or
removed from the other portion whereby any dirt collected at the bottom or interior
of the rose can be quickly and easily removed.
The invention is shown and described with reference to the accompanying
drawings.

page_text: The simplest form of connection both to make and to use is represented in the
drawings.
The disc of the rose consists of a sheet of metal stamped into a suitable shape
with a wired rim a. The rim a is cut away in some places for the reception of the
pivoted levers by which it is secured to the body. This rim is bent round an
inserted wire which is visible at the parts which have been cut out of the edge
of the disc. The exposed parts of the wire serve for hinging or securing the
levers d. The levers themselves are composed of a strong material bent
mechanically to the required shape and are fixed on the wire 6 inserted in the
rin a in such a way that they can be easily moved either up or down.
The securing of the disc or head on the conical body e of the rose is quickly and
easily accomplished by placing an adjustable packing or junk-ring on the flange e
of the conical part then placing the disc of the rose on same and pressing down the
levers d until they catch under the flange e. A secure and tight joint is thus
obtained.
In order to open the head of the rose in case of necessity all that is requisite is
to raise the levers d again so as to leave the flange free. The disc as well as the
parts by which the apparatus is closed are preferably made of a nou-corrodible
metal.
In
The construction may also be arranged in such a way that the disc may be
attached as a flap that is not completely detachable from the head of the rose.
this case one of the closing levers would have to be made fast to the conical part
of the body of the rose to act as a hinge.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. A rose head in which for the purpose of cleansing, the disc is made detachable
from the body substantially as described.
2. In a rose for watering cans and other articles constructed with a detachable
disc the combination with the disc and the body of the rose of the closing levers d
hinged to the wire 6 inserted in the edge a of the disc and the packing ring
which the two parts are connected closely together substantially as described.
