The lid (102) has an area (A1), and the cover (106) has an area (A2) that at least partially covers the opening (104) of the lid (102). The cover (106) is movable relative to the lid (102) and is configured to move away from and towards the container within the opening (104) of the lid (102). The cover (106) is characterized in that the cover (106) comprises a plurality of arms (118) extending from the cover (106) into the container along a circumference of the cover (106). At least one of the plurality of arms (118) comprises at least one first protrusion (120); and the at least one first protrusion (120) is spaced apart from the cover (106) by a distance (D1).

A water connector assembly (100) comprises a first water connection device (200), and a second water connection device (300) removably couplable with the first water connection device (200). The first water connection device (200) comprises at least one first support element (216) and at least one second support element (218). The water connector assembly (100) is characterized in that the at least one first support element (216) and the at least one second support element (218) are configured to respectively inhibit and allow the decoupling between the first water connection device (200) and the second water connection device (300) when a lateral force (P) acting substantially perpendicular to an extension of the at least one first support element (216) and at the least one second support element (218) respectively is applied on the first water connection device (200).

A hose reel (210) for storing a hose (202) comprises a reel body (212) onto which the hose (202) is woundable. The reel body (212) comprises a central water axle (214) and an outer surface (216) having a surface radius (D1). The hose reel (210) further comprises at least one side disc (218) formed at one lateral end of the reel body (212), and a water connection (215) for connecting the hose (202) to the central water axle (214). The water connection (215) extends from the central water axle (214) and is positioned adjacent to the at least one side disc (218). The hose reel (210) is characterized in that the hose reel (210) comprises a hose guiding structure (220) formed on the side disc (218). The hose guiding structure (220) is configured to guide an end portion (203) of the hose next to the water connection (215), on a guiding distance (D2) and afterwards on the outer surface (216), with the guiding distance (D2) being larger than the surface radius (D1).

A cutting tool (100) includes a housing (102) defining a front surface (104) and a rear surface (106), with a motor disposed within the housing (102). The cutting tool (100) further includes a cutting implement (110) extending from the housing (102) away from the front surface (104) with the cutting implement's dimensions defining a cutting plane (112). Further, a handle assembly (114) is coupled to the housing (102) towards the rear surface (106), wherein the coupling defines a fixed swivel point (P) that allows the handle assembly (114) to swivel about the rear surface (106) of the housing (102) along a swivel axis (120) that runs through it and that is orthogonal to a swivel plane (108) that comprises the swivel point (P). The cutting tool (100) is characterized in that the swivel plane (108) is backwardly inclined to the cutting plane (112) by an inclination angle (125) that is in a range of 30 to 60 degrees, preferably 35 to 45 degrees, and more preferably 40 degrees.

A liquid guiding portion (114) of a liquid application device (100), wherein the liquid guiding portion (114) comprises an inlet (116) configured to allow inflow of the liquid into the liquid guiding portion (114), and an outlet (118) configured to allow outflow of the liquid from the liquid guiding portion (114). The liquid guiding portion (114) is characterized in that the liquid guiding portion (114) is formed from a first component (120) and a second component (122), wherein the first component (120) comprises a rigid structure which is configured to provide structural rigidity to the liquid guiding portion (114), and wherein the second component (122) comprises a frost compensating material, and is configured to change its volume due to a temperature change. Further, the first component (120) is integrally formed with the second component (122).

A water guiding part (132) for a watering device (100), wherein the watering device (100) comprises an inlet (122) configured to guide a liquid into the watering device (100), and an outlet (134) configured to guide the liquid out of the watering device (100). Further, the water guiding part (132) is configured to form at least part of a connection between the inlet (122) and the outlet (134). Further, the water guiding part (132) comprises a first section (140) and a second section (142), wherein the first section (140) and the second section (142) are formed from the same material. The water guiding part (132) is characterized in that the second section (142) is configured to provide stability to the water guiding part (132), and the first section (140) is configured to change its shape to compensate frost occurring in the water guiding part (132).

An irrigation system (100) comprises a sprinkler (200) for watering of at least one pre-defined area (A1, A2, A3), and at least one mounting structure (300) configured such that the sprinkler (200) is removably couplable in a defined orientation to the at least one mounting structure (300). The irrigation system (100) is characterized that the sprinkler (200) comprises a position determining device (230) configured to determine a cardinal orientation of the sprinkler (200). The irrigation system (100) further comprises a control unit (224) configured to control the watering of the at least one pre-defined area (A) dependent on the determined cardinal orientation of the sprinkler (200) when the sprinkler (200) is removably coupled to one of the at least one mounting structure (300).
