9 Claims

1. A portable hose motion sensor valve system comprising:

a) a hose

extending from a source end coupled to a hose bib, to an extended end;

wherein the hose is flexible and configured to be coiled into a coil;

b) a water source having said hose bib;

wherein the source end is detachably attached to the hose bib;

c) a motion sensor valve comprising:

i) a housing;

ii) an inlet hose coupling configured on said housing and detachably attached with the hose to receive a flow of water from said water source said inlet hose coupling comprising threads;

iii) an outlet coupling configured on said housing and comprising threads;

iv) an emitter flange that extends a flange length from said housing;

v) a receiver flange;

vi) a sensor pocket formed in the housing between said emitter flange and said receiver flange;

vii) a light emitter configured in the emitter flange;

viii) a light receiver configured in the receiver flange;

ix) a light curtain configured between the light emitter and the light receiver;

wherein the light curtain extends across the sensor pocket;

x) a conduit extending within the housing and having an inlet coupled with the inlet hose coupling and an outlet coupled with the outlet coupling;

xi) a valve coupled with said conduit; and

xii) a valve actuator coupled with the valve and configured to open and close the valve; and

d) a nozzle comprising threads wherein the nozzle is threadably coupled to the threads of the outlet coupling;

wherein the valve and valve actuator are configured between the inlet hose coupling and the outlet coupling of the motion sensor valve; and

wherein the valve actuator is configured to open the valve when the light receiver senses that the light sensor curtain is interrupted;

wherein motion sensor valve is configured between the extended end of the hose and the nozzle and wherein the motion sensor valve is portable and configured to move with said extended end of said hose; and

wherein each of the valve, valve actuator and light emitter, light emitter flange light receiver and light receiver flange configured on or in the housing of the motion sensor valve.
