A hose-end valve device to control the flow of water from a garden hose and liquid from an attached pressurized container with a single motion. The control device includes a camming ring rotatably mounted on an extension of a hose coupling. Rotational movement of the camming ring with respect to a tubular member which is attached to an actuator panel causes axially interacting camming surfaces to change the relative axial positions of the ring and tubular member thereby opening or closing an axially movable water flow valve, depending on the direction of rotation. Rotational movement of the camming ring with respect to a fixed frame opening causes radially interacting camming surfaces to move the actuator panel radially which depresses or raises the valve stem of the pressurized container. A preferred axially movable valve is an accordion-like self-closing washer-valve.

In a hose-end valve device for controlling flow of water from a hose and liquid from an attached container, of the type having a collar secured to the container, a conduit with its upstream end engaged to a depressible valve stem of the container, a hose coupling with its longitudinal axis transverse the valve stem, and control means between the coupling and collar for regulating the flow of water through the device, the improvement comprising: a frame affixed to the collar and forming an opening axially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the coupling; an actuator panel hinged to the frame for movement in line with the valve stem, the panel having a mixing zone and a water outlet adjacent to such zone, the conduit being affixed to the panel with its downstream end adjacent to such zone; a tubular member affixed to the panel upstream of the water outlet and extending axially through the frame opening and into the coupling; an annular extension affixed to the coupling; a camming ring rotatably attached to the extension; axially movable means in the coupling to control water flow; axially interacting camming surface means on the tubular member and ring whereby changing rotational positions of the ring changes the degree of insertion of the tubular member into the coupling to operate the control means; and radially interacting camming surface means on the frame opening and ring whereby changing rotational positions of the ring moves the panel and conduit along the line of the valve stem to control dispensing from the container.
