Abstract

According to some illustrative embodiments, an angularly adjustable spray nozzle is employed that includes: a base section having a water flow path extending lengthwise there-through; a head section aligned at an end of the base section and rotatably mounted to the base section; wherein a flow path through the base section is inclined at an angle to a flow path through the head section such that when the head section is rotated a predetermined extent relative to the base section, the spray device is moved between a substantially straight configuration of the head section with respect to the base section and an angular configuration of the head section with respect to the base section; wherein the head section includes a rotatable turret assembly having a plurality of selectable spray type discharge ports and a sleeve to which the rotatable turret assembly is mounted, the rotatable turret assembly including labels on a periphery thereof corresponding to respective ones of the selectable spray type discharge ports, and the sleeve having a plurality of windows through which the labels are viewed when aligned; and wherein the spray device is configured such that when the spray device is oriented in a generally horizontal use position a respective one of the labels corresponding to a selected spray type is displayed within a respective one of the windows that is located at a top side of the sleeve whether the spray device is in the substantially straight configuration or in the angular configuration.
