Abstract

A water spray gun may comprise a main body, a water outlet unit, a spray head and a knob. The main body has a handle and a barrel portion, and interior spaces of the handle and the barrel portion are communicated with each other. A rear end and a front end of the water outlet unit respectively comprise a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion. The spray head is integrally made of plastic material, which simplifies the manufacturing process and lowers the cost, and through communicating the first through hole with the second through holes, the water flow is configured to flow in a straight line thus maintaining the momentum and speed of the water flow to perform different spraying patterns efficiently and to save labors and water.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A water spray gun comprising:
a main body having a handle and a barrel portion, and interior spaces of the handle and the barrel portion communicated with each other, and a connecting opening, which is formed at a front end of the barrel portion, configured to receive and secure a water outlet unit;
the water outlet unit comprising a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion respectively formed at a rear end and a front end thereof, and a first through hole axially penetrating through a central portion of the first connecting portion toward a central portion of the second connecting portion, and a mounting base, which has a screw hole, received in a front portion of the first through hole, and the mounting base connected with the second connecting portion through a plurality of spacers, and a plurality of second through holes, which are formed between the spacers, communicated with the first through hole thereby allowing water flowing in the water spray gun to flow in a straight line and to keep the momentum and speed thereof; the water outlet unit received in the connecting opening of the main body through the first connecting portion, and the second connecting portion of the water outlet unit protruding from the front end of the barrel portion of the main body, and an outer periphery of the second connecting portion having a first threaded segment which is configured to engage and secure a spray head;
the spray head, which is integrally made of plastic material, connected with an outer casing and an inner tube, and a second threaded segment, which is formed at an inner surface of the inner tube, configured to engage with the first threaded segment of the second connecting portion of the water outlet unit; a front end of the inner tube further comprising a tapered stepped portion which is configured to connect to a tilted surface, and a diameter of the stepped portion gradually expanded from a rear end to a front end thereof; and
a knob having a blocking piece, and a threaded rod, which protrudes from a first end of the blocking piece, configured to penetrate through the tilted surface to connect to the screw hole of the mounting base.

2. The water spray gun of claim 1 , wherein a water valve formed between the handle and the barrel portion of the main body is configured to control on/off operation of the main body to spray water flow.

3. The water spray gun of claim 1 , wherein the spacers located on the water outlet unit are formed in cross-shaped.

4. The water spray gun of claim 1 , wherein a flange is formed between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, and a locating column protruding from a first surface of the flange is configured to connect to a locating hole formed at the connecting opening of the barrel portion of the main body, and with the use of screws, the water outlet unit is configured to be firmly secured on the main body.
