Patent ID: 8424781

Claim:
A spray device, comprising: a body having a water inlet and a first water outlet in fluid communication with the water inlet and a second water outlet in fluid communication with the water inlet, the body including a head portion having the first water outlet and the second water outlet and a grip portion; an actuator supported by the body and having an actuation point, the actuator being moveable relative to the body; and a valve assembly positioned in the grip portion of the body, the valve assembly including a first diverter and a second diverter coupled to the first diverter for simultaneous linear movement relative to the body and being operably coupled to the actuator, wherein in a first position the valve assembly blocks water from the water inlet reaching the first water outlet and the second water outlet when the actuator is in a first position, the valve assembly translates linearly to a second position when the actuator is moved to a second position and permits water from the water inlet to reach the first water outlet by flowing through a passageway between the first diverter and the second diverter, and the second diverter blocks water from the water inlet reaching the second water outlet when the valve assembly is in the second position, and the valve assembly translates linearly to a third position when the actuator is moved to a third position and the first diverter blocks water from the water inlet reaching the first water outlet and permits water from the water inlet to reach the second water outlet by flowing through a passageway between the first diverter and the second diverter when the valve assembly is in the third position, wherein applying a continuous force to the actuator at the actuation point sequentially translates the valve assembly from the first position to the second position, and from second position to the third position.
