Abstract:
A nozzle positioning includes a primary pole, a grasping element supported on the upper end of the pole and configured to secure the pole to a surface, and a nozzle mount supported on the grasping element. The nozzle mount is configured to support a nozzle in a substantially horizontal position and to allow the nozzle to rotate about a longitudinal axis perpendicular to the horizontal upper surface of the grasping element. The grasping element is in the form of a hook configured to fit over a window sill or similar structure.

Claim (Index 1):
A nozzle positioning device allowing a firefighter to position and aim a nozzle more than an arm's length away from the firefighter, the nozzle including an inlet end in fluid communication with a distal end of a hose, the nozzle positioning device comprising:\n a primary pole having\n a proximal end configured to be gripped by the firefighter, and \n a distal end more than an arm's length away from the distal end; \n a grasping element fixedly secured to the distal end of the pole, the grasping element including\n a horizontal upper surface extending perpendicular to the primary pole and configured to extend across an upper surface of a window sill, and \n a tooth extending downwardly from the upper surface and configured to hook over an edge of the window sill; \n a mounting bracket rotatably coupled to the horizontal upper surface of the grasping element and configured to support the nozzle and the distal end of the hose in a horizontal position above and parallel to the horizontal upper surface of the grasping element; and a steering assembly coupled to the mounting bracket and operable to rotate the mounting bracket about a longitudinal axis perpendicular to the horizontal upper surface of the grasping element.
