Melnor: AquaGuns® with 5 Pattern Spray Head

Industrial Design Challenge: Design a garden hose sprayer that would create a new aesthetic standard, while costing less than $1 to manufacture. TKDG developed a cost-effective industrial design that for the first time incorporated ergonomic design and branding features into the generic garden consumer products category where the focus had exclusively been on functionality.

TKDG applied product user interface design principles including tactile considerations allowing the product to cradle the hand and minimize pressure points and stress. The design also featured a unique water-saving feature, a multi-pattern nozzle, and a patented simple lock on/off feature.
