Abstract

A metering console (100) includes a housing (110) adapted to allow flow of a liquid (F) therethrough. The housing (110) is adapted to attach with one or more gardening devices (132, 152). The metering console (100) includes a display (170) associated with the housing (110). The metering console (100) is characterized in that the display (170) is rotatably engaged with the housing (110) of the metering console (100) such that the display (170) rotates along a central axis (A-A′) of the housing (110).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A metering console comprising:
a housing adapted to allow flow of a liquid therethrough, wherein the housing is adapted to attach with one or more gardening devices; and
a display associated with the housing such that the display is between the housing on both sides;
wherein the display is rotatably coupled or mounted with the housing on each side thereof, so that the display is rotatably engaged with the housing of the metering console such that the display rotates along a central axis of the housing,
wherein the central axis extends through the display,
wherein the display is free to rotate in clockwise as well as anti-clockwise sense; and
wherein the display is mounted with a rotatable structure, which is housed within the metering console.

2. The metering console of claim 1 , wherein the metering console includes a battery, and a plurality of electronics configured with the display, wherein the battery and the plurality of electronics are rotatably mounted within the metering console.

3. The metering console of claim 1 , wherein the shape of the housing defines the central axis along the flow of the liquid, and wherein the display rotates along a plane substantially perpendicular to a direction of the flow of the liquid.

4. The metering console of claim 1 , wherein the housing is adapted to attach with one or more of a hose connector, and a tap connector.

5. The metering console of claim 2 , wherein the display, the battery and the plurality of the electronics are mounted on the rotatable structure which is rotatably engaged with the housing of the metering console.

6. The metering console of claim 1 , wherein the display includes at least one display panel, wherein the display allows rotatable adjustment of the display panel to multiple positions with respect to the housing of the metering console.

7. The metering console of claim 1 , wherein the metering console is a water metering console.
