Abstract
A watering container with a rotatable nozzle having a plurality of water delivery patterns. In particular, a rotatable nozzle having a plurality of water delivery patterns is rotationally attached to a water spout on a watering container. A user can turn the rotatable nozzle to select the desired water delivery pattern. In a preferred embodiment of the watering container, the user may select either a steady stream water pattern or a dispersed rosette water spray pattern. The watering container includes an internal fluid reservoir which can vary in volume based on the needs of the user. Water exits the internal fluid reservoir and flows through the water spout and then through the water delivery pattern selected by the user on the rotatable nozzle when the watering container is properly tilted. An integral elongated handle on the watering container enables the user to reduce stress on their hand and wrist during the tilting process. The dispersed rosette water spray pattern allows a relatively large surface area to be watered with a plurality of relatively small diameter continuous water streams, whereas the steady stream water pattern provides one relatively large diameter continuo…
