Sprayer Post Hose Attachment with Riser Tube and Gooseneck
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing hose attachment devices lack a tall, rigid riser and a flexible gooseneck upper portion to effectively direct the spray as desired for aquatic enjoyment and irrigation, limiting their versatility and functionality.
Innovation Solution
A hose attachment device comprising a support post with a T-joint, a hose attachment arm, a riser tube with a flexible gooseneck portion, and a spray nozzle, allowing for adjustable positioning and spray pattern control through a combination of a spiked base for stability, a flow control valve, and a rotatable spray nozzle tip.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a fixed attachment low to the ground is used, then the device is simple and stable, but it lacks the ability to direct spray effectively for aquatic enjoyment and irrigation
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into distinct functional segments: a support post for stability, a T-joint for water distribution, a riser tube for vertical positioning, and a gooseneck section for directional control. Each segment performs a specific function, allowing the spray to be directed effectively while maintaining overall structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The addition of the riser tube extends the device vertically from ground level to an elevated position, enabling spray distribution at height for aquatic enjoyment. The gooseneck section then provides angular adjustment in multiple directions, adding dimensional control capability without significantly increasing overall complexity.
2Ease of operation
If a tall rigid riser is added to direct spray upward, then spray distribution is improved, but the device becomes less flexible in positioning
Solution Approach 1:
The gooseneck section is constructed from flexible material that can bend and adjust to various positions while maintaining structural integrity. This flexible portion connects the rigid riser tube to the spray nozzle, allowing the spray to be positioned in different directions without compromising the stability of the overall device structure.
