Abstract

The present invention relates to a nozzle for terminating a hose pipe for providing a stream of water over a variable cone angle under control of a user and wherein the control is implemented by sideways pressure manipulation on a minimal force moveable thumb lever, which is part of the nozzle. Such that sideways pressure on the thumb lever in one direction causes the water stream to splay outwards into a wide angle cone and whereas sideways pressure on the thumb lever in other direction causes focusing of the stream of water exiting the mouth of the nozzle into a focused jet.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a female component (200) of a quick fit connector for coupling to a first fluid conducting element and for connecting to a second fluid conducting element, by matingly engaging a male component (4) coupled to the second fluid conducting element, comprising a body having an inner circumference; a coupling means to couple the first fluid element to the body; a latching means coupled to retractable protrusions for latchingly engaging a groove (5) around the male component (4); a locking means being variably movable between an open state and a closed state, for locking the latching means and for preventing inadvertent retraction and unlatching of the protrusions and corresponding inadvertent disconnection of the male component (4) from the female component (200), and a safety mechanism to prevent the insertion of the male component (4) into the female component (200) unless the locking means is fully open thereby allowing the protrusions of the latching means to be fully retracted.
