Abstract
Abstract A cool water misting device removably attachable to a chaise lounge and adaptable for use with a wide variety of water supplies for which a garden hose may function as the conduit. A single piece of tubing having adjustable spray nozzles at spaced intervals along its length is attached to the frame of a chaise lounge by clamps. A control for adjusting the direction, amount and pressure of water flow is provided. Water flow drainage for maintaining a constant supply of cool water is included and is controlled by a hand-held trigger which also functions as the on/off switch for the spray nozzles.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
175 words
A cool water misting device for outdoor use on a chaise lounge, comprising: tubing adapted for placement in close proximity to a chaise lounge; an adapter connected to said tubing for receiving a hose, said adaptor having primary valve means for permitting water flow from a water source through the hose to said tubing; a plurality of spray nozzle attached at specifically spaced intervals along said tubing; means for adjusting the direction of water flow from said spray nozzles; means for controlling the amount and pressure of water flow through said spray nozzles, said water flow control means movable between a depressed position increasing water pressure and water flow into the tubing and a release position decreasing the water pressure and flow into the tubing; and water flow drainage means for maintaining a constant supply of cool water, said drainage means including means for closing said drainage means when the water flow control means is moved toward the depressed position and opening said drainage means when the control means is moved to the release position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
175 words
A cool water misting device for outdoor use on a chaise lounge, comprising: tubing adapted for placement in close proximity to a chaise lounge; an adapter connected to said tubing for receiving a hose, said adaptor having primary valve means for permitting water flow from a water source through the hose to said tubing; a plurality of spray nozzle attached at specifically spaced intervals along said tubing; means for adjusting the direction of water flow from said spray nozzles; means for controlling the amount and pressure of water flow through said spray nozzles, said water flow control means movable between a depressed position increasing water pressure and water flow into the tubing and a release position decreasing the water pressure and flow into the tubing; and water flow drainage means for maintaining a constant supply of cool water, said drainage means including means for closing said drainage means when the water flow control means is moved toward the depressed position and opening said drainage means when the control means is moved to the release position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
The invention of claim 1 wherein said water flow control means comprises a hand held trigger mechanism, said trigger mechanism having a secondary water control valve for adjusting the amount of water entering the tube when the trigger is in the release position.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
The invention of claim 2 wherein said water flow drainage means comprises a drainage valve biased to an open position for allowing a continuous flow of water through said tubing when said trigger is released.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
