Claim:
A water discharging amusement device, comprising; a housing defining an interior chamber; an inlet conduit dimensioned and arranged to receive water from a source of pressurized water and to direct received pressured water into said interior chamber; a rotatable nozzle assembly dimensioned and arranged to spin or move while receiving pressurized water from the interior chamber, said rotatable nozzle assembly comprising a pivotable discharge tube defining a discharge opening for ejecting a substantially spiral pattern stream of water therefrom as the rotatable nozzle assembly spins or moves, said pivotable discharge tube being manipulable to select a desired diameter, direction, and pitch of said spiral pattern; a drive assembly disposed within said chamber and dimensioned and arranged to convert linear forces imparted by pressurized water arriving via said inlet into rotary forces for rotating the rotatable nozzle; a valve selectively operable between a first position permitting flow of water from the discharge opening and a second position preventing flow of water from the discharge opening; and a hand operated trigger dimensioned and arranged to manipulate the valve into either of the first position and the second position.
