like.
I, FREDERICK JOHN KENDRICK of 28 Acklam Road, North Kensington,
London, Post Office Clerk, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
"
rose or water
This invention has for its object to provide what is known as a
spraying appliance (such as are used on the end of a garden hose, syringe, watering-
can or for the like purposes) of a character and so arranged and mounted that it
will be capable of varying the degrees of fineness or otherwise of the spray
produced therefrom and moreover arranged and constructed so as to be easily
altered or changed from one degree to another or so that water of varying degrees
of fineness or otherwise may be simultaneously sprayed-my invention being
designed to produce an appliance of a simple and inexpensive character and not
liable to leak or easily get out of order.
My present invention is as follows:-
The rose or spraying appliance is divided into two or more distinct chambers or
compartments separated by any suitable partitions or divisions but advantageously
by having a central tube or socket mounted within same from which two or more
radially arranged or other suitable partitions extend to the outside wall of the rose
which may advantageously be of the ordinary conical form or of any other suitable
shape as desired.
The outer end or perforated face of said rose is formed with outlet holes or
perforations over one of the interior chambers or compartments of different size
number or arrangement (or any of them) to the outlet holes or perforations
over the next compartment and so on according to the number of such
compartments.
To enable the water supply to be directed into only one such compartment at a
time the nozzle or end of the garden hose, watering-can, etc., is adapted to fit
closely within the aforesaid socket in the rose (and either permanently attached
thereto or capable of removal therefrom)-a suitable outlet (or outlets) being
provided in the said nozzle (advantageously a longitudinal slot in the side near the
end thereof) which will enable said hose end or nozzle to deliver the water
therefrom through a corresponding or other suitable slot or opening (or openings)
in the aforesaid socket in the "rose" into one of the compartments a separate slot
or opening (or openings) being provided through the said socket into each of the
said compartments respectively in such manner that the aforesaid slot in the
"nozzle end will coincide with the opening (or openings) into only one
compartment at a time the non-slotted part of the nozzle cud serving to shut off the
other compartments-thus water is directed into one compartment and thence
through the outlet holes of that compartment only.
"
Suitable marks or means may be provided on the outside of the rose and
on the nozzle end to indicate into which chamber or compartment the water is to be
directed.
Instead of the outlet from the nozzle end being through a slot in the side thereof

page_text: same may be arranged in the end for instance as a radial slot in the end the said
central socket being correspondingly arranged with separate holes at the top end
thereof respectively leading into the different compartments.
Thus by turning the rose upon the nozzle or hose end as before the water will be
guided into any one of the chambers as desired.
Furthermore these slots or openings may be so arranged that upon partially
withdrawing the nozzle out of the rose the water from the nozzle can thus pass into
all of the chambers simultaneously-any suitable means being provided if desired
to lock or hold the two parts firmly together when in this partially withdrawn
position or when the water is being supplied into one compartment only.

Improvements in or in connection with Water Spraying Appliances
or Roses for Watering-cans, Garden Hose, Syringes, or the
like.
I, FREDERICK JOHN KENDRICK, of 28 Acklam Road, North Kensington,
London, Post Office Clerk, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention has for its object to provide what is known as a " rose " or water
spraying appliance (such as are used on the end of a garden hose, syringe, watering-
can, or for the like purposes) of a character and so arranged and mounted that it
will be capable of varying the degrees of fineness or otherwise of the spray
produced therefrom and moreover arranged and constructed so as to be easily
altered or changed from one degree to another or so that water of varying degrees
of fineness or otherwise may be simultaneously sprayed, my invention being
designed to produce an appliance of a simple and inexpensive character and not
liable to leak or easily get out of order.
My present invention is as follows:-The "rose " or spraying appliance is
divided into two or more distinct chambers or compartments separated by any
suitable partitions or divisions but advantageously by having a central tube or
socket mounted within same, from which two or more radially arranged or other
suitable partitions extend to the outside wall of the " rose" which may
advantageously be of the ordinary conical form or of any other suitable shape, as
desired.
The outer end or perforated face of said " rose "is formed with outlet holes or
perforations over one of the interior chambers or compartments of different size,
number, or arrangement (or any of them) to the outlet holes or perforations
over the next compartment and SO on according to the number of such
compartments.
To enable the water supply to be directed into only one such compartment at a
time, the nozzle or end of the garden hose, watering-can, etc. is adapted to fit closely
within the aforesaid socket in the "rose" (and either permanently attached thereto
or capable of removal therefrom), a suitable outlet (or outlets) being provided in
the said nozzle (advantageously a longitudinal slot in the side near the end thereof)
which will enable said hose end or nozzle to deliver the water therefrom through a
corresponding or other suitable slot or opening (or openings) in the aforesaid

page_text: Bocket in the
" rose "into one of the compartments, a separate slot or opening
(or openings) being provided through the said socket into each of the said
compartments respectively in such manner that the aforesaid slot in the "nozzle "
end will coincide with the opening (or openings) into only one compartment at a
time, the non-slotted part of the nozzle end serving to shut off the other compart-
iments, thus water is directed into one compartment and thence through the outlet
holes of that compartment only.
Suitable marks or means may be provided on the outside of the "rose
" and on
the nozzle end to indicate into which chamber or compartment the water is to be
directed.
Instead of the outlet from the nozzle end being through a slot in the side thereof
same may be arranged in the end for instance as a radial slot in the end, the said
central socket being correspondingly arranged with separate holes at the top end
thereof respectively leading into the different compartments.
"
Thus by turning the " rose upon the nozzle or hose end as before the water will
be guided into any one of the chambers as desired.
Furthermore these slots or openings may be so arranged that upon partially
withdrawing the nozzle out of the "rose," the water from the nozzle can thus pass
into all of the chambers simultaneously, any suitable means being provided if
desired to lock or hold the two parts firmly together when in this partially
withdrawn position or when the water is being supplied into one compartment
only.

My invention will be clearly understood by reference to the annexed drawings.
Figure front end elevation of water-can "rose," hose "rose," or syringe
with three different sizes of perforations for different degrees of sprays.
Figure 2 part sectional elevation for issue of water from any one of the
compartments only.

Figure 3 sectional plan through line a, b, of Figure 2.
Figure 4 part sectional plan in which all the compartments of the partitioned
rose can be supplied with water for issue from all perforations.

Figure 5 transverse section through line c, d, of Figure 4.
"
Figure 6 section of partitioned rose in which a hit and miss kind of valve is
fitted for the supply of water to either compartment by turning the "rose" round
to the desired position.
Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 3, A is the spout or nozzle of a watering-can, hose,
or syringe baving a closed top B and provided with a stop C and a side aperture or
slot D. Over this end, the neck E of a
" rose "F fits, said rose having three
compartments formed by the partitions G, G, G, each with a face plate H, H, H,
perforated or punctured with three distinct sizes of holes. The neck E of
the " rose is carried up within it and surrounds the nozzle A. with a slot J leading
into either compartment according to the position to which the " rose is turned,
said " rose being then locked by the pinch screw K, or it may be by the stop C
working in a bayonet joint slot in the " rose neck, the "rose" being slightly drawn
out, turned, and pushed back for the purpose.

"
"
According to the arrangement shown at Figures 4 and 5, I make a hollow
Swelling L, or affix a ring band to the neck of the " rose with slots M, M, M,
leading to all the compartments, so that by pulling the " rose upwardly for
a given distance, the slot D in the nozzle neck A by coinciding with the
slots M, M, M, of the swelling L allows all the compartments of the "
"
rose to be
charged simultaneously, so that a spray of three different sizes can issue from the
SC
rose.
"
">
Figure 6 is a modification of Figure 1 and in which a plate N is fitted on the
nozzle neck A and another plate P in the "rose so that when the "rose "
is turned the slot in the plate N by coinciding with one or other of the slots in the
plate P permit water from the nozzle slot Ď to enter the lower division and pass
through the then open slots in the plates N, P, to the compartment of the "
according to the desired spray.
