A metal case or tube either straight or coiled for attaching to Water hose and a
stand for same.
The Case or Tube is perforated with small holes in such a manner that the water
is equally distributed at various angles in all directions at one time so as to cover
an extensive area which varies according to pressure of water & size of hose.
The Stand is of Iron or other Metal and can be raised or lowered to various
heights & the top is constructed so as to hold the Case or Tube firmly in position.

Purposes.
FRANK WRIGHT MARSH BATEMAN 129 Bethune Road Amhurst Park London N.
Gentleman 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 :-
A metal Tube, Coil, (M) or Case which may be constructed either round square
oval or in any specially desired form. Drilled or pierced with fine holes in lines or
rings according to the form of the Nozzle each line or circle of holes being pierced at
a different angle from that immediately behind it (Z). The object being to disperse
the Water in equal quantities in all directions at one time. When constructed in the
form of a flat case the Base or side is fitted with a screwed plug so that the interior
may be easily cleansed. When constructed of Tubing either in a coiled or straight
form the end (0) is fitted with a screwed cap which when removed will allow the
water to pass through without resistance carrying with it any foreign matter that may
have gained access thereto. If the nozzle be made in the form of a coil or series of
coils, the whole is held firmly in position by means of a metal plate or Bar attached
accross the base from one side to the other (B).
The Nozzle is fitted with a metal Union H for attaching to Garden Hose and may
be made any size required.
The Nozzle placed immediately on the ground and need not be elevated in any
way but if desired it may be elevated, the action of the Water when in operation
remaining the same.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1st. That by the manner in which this nozzle is drilled, the Water is discharged
in an upward direction and descends upon the ground of its own weight in the form
of fine Rain and so copying Natures own System of Watering. All the ground
over which the Water is dispersed being equally watered.
2nd. That the ground is not beaten or hardened as is always the case where water
descends from an elevated nozzle direct upon the ground.
3rd. That Plants & Flowers derive the full benefits of Rain by Water being applied
in this manner and are not injured or damaged thereby in any way.
4th. That Lawns, Tennis Courts Gardens & Glass structures in which plants are
C

page_text: grown may be watered in the most effective manner and the smallest amount of
attention by the use of this nozzle.
5th. That when in use on Lawns, Tennis Courts and Clear Ground, it may be easily
moved without stopping the Water Stepping on the Wet Ground or touching the
nozzle, by simply drawing it along from one spot to another by means of the hose to
which it is attached.
6th. That by reason of its strength & simplicity and the entire absence of any
working parts, it is not liable to get out of order or injured by the usual wear such
appliances have to endure.
7th. That it is the simplest & most effective means of applying water that has yet
been designed.
Dated this 19th day of April 1888.
